Pet care experience

Grew up on a farm, love animals

We have had pets for 15 years and took care of pets for students over the summer in our house for few years. We personally have a close friend who is a veterinarian. Many walks and play time. We will walk, feed, bath and take care of your pet. Great walking path and park by our house. I currently and permanently work from home now so I can take care pets during the day. My wife also works from home. My son goes to high school but can help when he returns. I have a fenced in yard with a happy mini golden doodle who gets among with most dogs and people. Farm trips may also be possible as we run the family farm west of Des Moines with my brother. We are weekend farmers. I am working from home and can provide care during the day. My sons comes home from school and can provide care after 5 pm. My wife works from home also so there is almost always someone home all the time. I have a fenced in yard that is mostly rock and wooden deck. We do has a pool also. Lots of open areas and parks around us.

Very accommodating and helpful was in a tough position just moving into the state and the Holidays coming up. I didnt have much time to plan but Keneth and his family were superb in helping me with Benji.

House Sitting • Nov 28, 2025

We came back from our trip to find our 2 dogs and 1 kitty happy and healthy and our house as we left it! We could tell they got care and attention while we were away, especially with some extra things that they have going on right now. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for care for their pets.

Kenneth provided consistent updates and was quick to respond to all my messages. Him and his son did a great job taking care of my anxious dog.

Kenneth and his son Frederick were fantastic dog sitters for Dash! Both were incredibly attentive and kept us updated regularly with clear communication, making sure we knew how Dash was doing.
