Dog walker in the Des Moines area

Pet care experience

I worked at The Barking Lot in Urbandale for 2 years, where I walked, fed, and cared for dogs. I spent a lot of high school doing private dog walking and sitting. After graduating, I spent a summer in Fairbanks Alaska working a volunteer job at Sirius Sled Dog Rescue. I was solely responsible for 20-30 dogs daily.

I do not have the facilities for home services as I live in an apartment, I am only able to do walks and check ins at your home :).

Information Lauren G. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet requires any special care. I am also trained to administer medications including insulin. Please let me know if your dog is aggressive towards other people, children, or other dogs beforehand as well. :)

A typical day

A big part of my job at The Barking Lot was taking dogs on nature walks. I am comfortable walking dogs of all sizes, energy levels, ages, and needs. If the dog is not dog aggressive (and as long as it is alright with the owner) I would love to take dogs to the dog park for some extra enrichment. I especially love big dog breeds.

Availability

I have an incredibly flexible schedule at the moment. My plan is to get a set weekly schedule for clients, and then I will fill in the rest of my time around that. I am free at all times of day, every day of the week including holidays, early mornings, late nights, and weekends.
