We want to love your pups too!
Pet care experience
I've taken care of pets since childhood. Owned one dog on my own after college that I loved terribly and miss. We have 4 kids (5 months, 4, 6 and 8) and would love to someday have a pet of our own. We aren't ready to commit yet though and would just love to care for yours. Our kids have experience with pets and are very gentle. We ask that the dog is good with kids as well though as we want to ensure safety of our kids. We are willing to meet beforehand to make sure it's a good fit for your pup and us. I am a stay at home mom and my husband works out of the home and at the office so is very flexible with his schedule. Either my husband or I am usually home with the exception of occasional errands. Weekends and weekdays work well. We have a big fenced in yard and live close to a park that the kids and us like walking down to often. We also like to play in the yard.
Reviews
Buddy enjoyed his time with Deanna and her family which includes 4 children. The children were so calm and gentle around Buddy and I could tell they were used to being around dogs. Deanna and her husband were lovely people and welcomed Buddy into their home. I wouldn't hesitate using them again.
Lovely couple and loved the photos!
Wonderful family to care for my pup. She was so well taken care of and was so calm when she returned home.
Wonderful sitters!! Thank you for taking care of my baby while I was away. Super experience and would def use them again. Great communication and very accommodating. Thank you

We have a large fenced in yard. We enjoy spending time outdoors. We often go on walks and visit the park near us. Dogs enjoy running around in our yard. It is a kind of Narnia in the midst of downtown Des Moines.

My husband works from home and I work as a nurse 3 days a week. One of us is always home with our kids. Our kids are home this year from school (due to Covid times). So we are looking for something to do.
