Highlights
Pet care experience
Your pets in loving capable hands
I have loved animals my entire life with cats at home growing up and have welcomed dogs into my home as an adult. In high school at Highline High School, I led an Animal club, Animal Alliance that participated in 'pet therapy' bringing our pets to retirement homes to comfort the residents. As an adult, I am a foster volunteer with RASKC and have been fostering a senior cat (she's 20 years old!?!) for over 4 years with special needs as she has CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease). Currently my husband and I share our home with 3 cats (all domestic shorthair females) and 1 dog, an Italian Greyhound. I take care of the bulk of the pet care as I work from home most of the time and get in plenty of quality time with our fur kids. Note: My standard rates are for clients within 5 miles of the downtown Des Moines area & a slightly higher rate applies for clients outside Des Moines if more than a 10 min drive.

Safety, trust & environment
I will care for your pets in your home as if you were there- abiding by your instructions and making your pets feel at ease. I consider myself a pet whisperer and can read animals well with a natural intuition that has proven accurate several times over with my cats and dog in helping identify medical issues that were then resolved successfully.
Ratings and reviews
Eileen communicated all steps in her visit, letting us know how the kitties were doing and complete with pictures! It is evident our kitties like Eileen since they posed very well. I will definitely request her services in the future when we require a reliable pet sitter.
Eileen is a dependable and trustworthy caretaker who always gives our kitties the love they crave while we are out of town.
Eileen always gets great pictures of my cats. I feel confident that they are checked in with each visit.
Eileen is a true gem. We love having her care for our kitty!!
Eileen was phenomenal! Worked with us as a last minute Christmas Day drop in. Was super patient with my kitties, especially the most skittish. Would definitely book again!
Eileen was super communicative, super friendly, and super wonderful with our giant Shepherd! Highly recommend!

Schedule
I am currently self employed working with a somewhat flexible schedule and have some time available to care for my neighbor's pets. Early or late mornings, afternoons and evenings all work for my schedule.
