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.
