Pet care experience

Animal loving go-getter. 🐾

Throughout a life of loving many fur babies, I have learned a vast amount of things including nail trimming, grooming (non-professional), medication administration, and of course, endless fur baby lovin.

Could not have been happier with my experience. The environment was great for my dogs, communication was excellent, and I received detailed updates throughout their stay. Would recommend Cory to anyone. We'll be back for sure!

Doggy Day Care • Sep 29, 2025

Cory was able to watch my pup last-minute while I was in the area for work. I'm so glad I found him. He was easy to communicate with, and I felt more than comfortable leaving Carver with him. Best of all, I picked up a happy, tired pup who slept the whole way home. Cory will be my go-to in Des Moines whenever I need pet care.

I’m so happy I decided to bring my pup to Cory! He consistently provided pictures & updates throughout my dog’s stay. Will absolutely be sending my dog to him again in the future!

Cory was more than accommodating for Squash and I. Communication was outstanding, and he made me feel comfortable leaving Squash with him and his family. Highly recommend! Thank you so much Cory!

Safety, trust & environment

I strive to make sure each animal, mine or a client’s, feels loved, welcome and cared for just as much as I would expect somebody to care for my own. Furry friends are not just animals - they are our children, and knowing they are in the best care possible can provide you with peace of mind in your absence.

Pets

A typical day

On a typical day, fetch is a lifesaver. We have high energy pups of our own, so anything to help burn off energy is a must: fetch, walks, tricks, treats.

Cory can host up to 10 pets per night
Medical conditions or special accommodations are always recommended so your furry friend can receive the best loving care possible. Illnesses that are contagious must be shared, as other animals are in the household.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
