Hello - thank you for considering my services! I have recently moved back to my hometown of Des Moines. For the past 7 years, I have lived in Iowa City/Coralville where I worked as a Clinical Dietitian for the University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics and attended the University of Iowa's Physician Assistant Program as a graduate student. 🏥🎓 For the past two years, I have been providing high quality pet sitting services in the Iowa City area through Rover with over 50+ clients. I'm a responsible, dedicated person that will ensure your pets are given the energy, professional care and snuggles they need for a happy, healthy life while you're away. 🐱 🐶 I have extensive experience caring for dogs and cats (even pet rats!), including a 5+ year history of working as a certified dog trainer at Petco in West Des Moines, Iowa in which I exclusively used positive reinforcement techniques. I am highly comfortable with pet sitting and walking all dog types and sizes (no preferred breeds), managing any unforeseen conflicts, and most importantly - making sure to keep your pet's tail wagging! My current availability is as follows: ⭐️ Drop-Ins: Saturday and Sunday (7am-10pm), Monday-Friday evenings (6pm-10pm). ⭐️ Dog Walking: Saturday and Sunday (7am-9pm), Monday-Friday evenings (6pm-9pm). ⭐️ House Sitting: Friday evening + full-time availability Saturday/Sunday - please message me for further details! How I ensure safety with my pet care: 🖤 COVID vaccinated. 💛 100% supervision when pets are outside, EVERYTIME. 🖤 I respect any limitations your dog may have during walks including avoiding people, children, other dogs, stressful/noisy environments and being mindful of health conditions. Your home can be trusted with me, and I would be happy to communicate with you as often as you prefer. A daily morning and evening photo of your fur baby? - I'd be happy to send!
