About: My husband and I love all dogs and look forward to having more in our home. We’ve both grown up with dogs our whole lives - all different types of breeds, shapes and sizes! I also previously trained service dogs and am prepared for all different types of dog personalities. I currently stay at home and can give your dog lots of love and attention. My husband also works from home and is flexible to help! Caring for pets fits easily into both of our schedules. I have a friendly, playful golden retriever who can’t wait to make new friends in his fenced in yard. As long as your dog is potty trained and not destructive, they don’t need to be kenneled in our house - but it’s also totally fine if you prefer to bring one.

“She cares about animals deeply and goes above and beyond for any animal/s in her possession. No matter if they are hers or someone else's. She is one person i would personally trust to leave my pet with and not have to worry about them. You couldn't pick a better person to babysit or walk your dog or any animal at that.”

“Maggie and Betty had a lot of fun playing in the yard, and I loved getting pictures from McKenzie during their stay. Thanks for taking care of my treasured pups!”

“100% recommend Jenny. Will definitely contact her next time we are in town! She sent photos of our pup while we were at a local event and we felt super comfortable with him there. Communication was great and she treated him like one of her own. Nox had a great day and enjoyed being a part of the pack!”

About: I’m the friend that’s relied on for training support. Puppy, Senior citizen, separation anxiety to adoptee experience; 10+ years. I’m passionate about learning new training techniques, implementing, and teaching. Every dog and companion deserves to understand each other. I have a 3 year old xl breed. Every day we focus on consistency and communication. I personally focus on the individual needs specific to my companions for the best life experience. From avid exercise to slow paced walks to muscle and joint massage and even reinforcing habits that create healthy confidence. I love paying attention to body language and understanding what it means for a companion as well as the companion’s caretaker and being able to provide comfort and training techniques based off of that. I can’t wait to be a certified dog trainer and help people understand there’s no such thing as a bad or impossible breed. It’s all about understanding, communication, implementation, and consistency. My goal is to keep your companions day as regular and consistent as possible. We will be on time for walks, they will get a lot of attention, I love animal body language so I’ll be able to build a connection with your companion based on their comfortability level, and I prefer to go by your rules. I understand no dogs on couches and I also fully support couch cuddles. It’s all about your companions happiness and well being along with providing ease and comfort for you and I will make sure to provide everything you need to maintain that. I chose a neighborhood great for king walks and close to downtown for easy access to greys lake. apartment that offered a dog park for comfortable potty breaks. And being right next to greys lake offers great adventures. I can crate if required, as I crate my 2 yr old for his safety. I encourage as many “rules” and your guidance to abide by to make your companions day to day as regular and enjoyable as possible. This is all about you guys and making your lives easy and comfortable.

“Nichelle is an energetic person who cherishes animals. She is a great mom to her dog, Freckles. She has a special bond with dogs--they are drawn to her and seem to love her instantly. She is a very warm and fun person who instantly shares her heart with animals, whether it be her own dog or other dogs we may encounter while on a walk. It is honestly inspiring to watch the joyful way Nichelle interacts with animals. She delights in their individual personalities and enjoys doting on them. I was especially impressed at the careful attention she pays to her own dog's diet and care. She is also very meticulous--always making sure her dog is well groomed and of course, cleaned up after on walks. Nichelle's huge heart for animals makes her an ideal candidate to work with anyone's pet.”

“James is an outstanding pet parent. When I met James, he had a Labrador retriever named Albert. He had adopted Albert as a puppy. Albert was the best cared for pet ever! Albert just passed here recently at the impressive age of 14. He has also pretty pet sat for my Akita, Cash was a puppy mill rescue. I adopted him at about a year old and he was super under socialized and extremely fearful with strangers. James was wonderfully patient with Cash in giving him both the space and the nudges he needed. Rover would be fortunate to get James as part of your team”

“My Venus had an incredible day with two other frenchie pups! Miss Alice is so sweet and took excellent care of my baby girl while we visited Des Moines for the first time! Can't recommend her enough!”

“Emily and her boyfriend did a great job looking after Echo. They were great with communcication and updates. Super convenient location downtown. Echo was more excited at drop-off than pick-up!”

“Christian is an amazing caregiver to my dog Chino. He shows that he cares for my dog like its his. Hes one of the few people i can trust with my furbaby. We appreciate the quality of service he provides and the attention he gives my Baby”

“Maren would be a great dog caregiver. She treats every pet that she comes into contact with like the pet is her own. She gives him or her so much attention and will play with them until they’re worn out and asleep. She makes it so your pet is loved and cared for until the time you come home to them.”
