About: I love to be around dogs. They make me relaxed and happy. I think petting a dog and having them by you, lowers your blood pressure and keeps you active and happy. I have been a pet owner for seventeen years and have experience with big and small dogs. I am available to help you take care of your pets, and will take care of them as if they were my own! I work fulltime and I am looking for some extra funds to help with my kids expenses. I have a son and daughter 19 and 16. So they are very expensive!!! I also would love some extra funds to help with my own travel and fun. I live in the Clive area, so I am close to West Des Moines, Adel, Johnston and Urbandale. But I can get to anywhere else pretty fast as well.

“Ella is incredible! She’s great with my golden retriever and my pup warmed up to her right away. She was even kind enough to bring a package in when she stopped by for the walk!”


About: I love animals! I was the go to neighborhood pet sitter as a kid, and have enjoyed so many dogs and cats over the years. I'm a stay at home mom to older children.

About: Hi there! If you’re looking for someone with experience and love for your special doggos, you have come to the right place. I have dreamt about rescuing/taking care of animals my whole life. Just two years ago, me and my boyfriend rescued our first dog (Huxley) and in January 2022 we rescued our second dog (Ryder). That is the best decision we have ever made, I can’t imagine live without them. We always make sure they have the best toys, treats, walks daily, training, and all the love they deserve from us! I also grew up in a family with dogs and they are family to me also. I would bathe, feed, walk, play fetch, and care for them in addition to my dogs I have now. I will do anything to make sure your pup/pet is safe, comfortable, and having fun. I’m currently working full time but work at nights while studying to go to law school next year. My boyfriend works from home for Wells Fargo and we live together so it works out perfectly! I watch our dogs in the morning and when I leave for work my boyfriend will watch our dogs at night. We have a pretty flexible routine and that’s why we are passionate to help others with their pets be in the most safe, comfortable, and fun place. We care for our pets in various ways. We have a fenced in yard for our dogs to enjoy, but we also take them on 1-2 walks a day or take them to different locations to check out new places! We used to crate them when they were puppies but now they are older, they are house trained and are able to free roam. Same goes for your precious pup, we can take them for walks, play fetch, provide enrichment activities with frozen peanut butter/a ball that we put our dogs kibble in that they have to roll around to get the food out. If they need crated, or anything we can do to make you feel comfortable along with your special pup, we can do that. If they are more relax around the house dog, we can hang out with them and watch some movies. If they enjoy playing with other dogs, we have two dogs of our own that get along with any animal. They know how to play gentle and will play at whatever speed the other dog prefers. We can provide anything you as the client and dog needs from us, and promise to always keep them safe.

About: I have degrees in Animal Science and Animal Nutrition, as well as several years of experience caring for animals of all kinds in home, medical, and educational settings. I worked for a few years as a veterinary assistant during college so I am comfortable working with animals with medical needs. I previously worked for Hill's Pet Nutrition caring for 100-200 dogs in their canine facility every day, making sure they live their best life! I helped care for our 2 family dogs growing up, I currently have my own cat named Winifred, and I also have experience as a volunteer pet sitter while I was in college. There is no dog too big or too small, I love them all! And I would love to help you care for your furry family member. I work fully remote, so I can easily bring my work with me and spend most of my time with your pets. My daily schedule is pretty flexible, so I'm able to adjust as needed. As long as I know the important people, places, and things in and around your home, I can navigate taking care of your pets in their own space providing a routine that its similar to what they're used to while you're away!

About: I have spent a lot of time caring for puppies and senior animals and everything in between. I enjoy the differences in all different animals. I am currently not working during the weekends and am free to spend lots of time with your pets. We love to be active and to cuddle whichever your pet enjoys. I have a 6 foot privacy fenced backyard and a friendly 3 year old boxer. My cats do their own thing and have little interest in other animals.

About: I have lots of experience working with dogs with Thyroid disorders, joint problems, hip problems, diabetes, and special diets. I'm very flexible. All you have to do is ask and we'll see. I've had Chocolate Labs, Chesapeake Bay Retrievers, Poodles, Terriers, and Shih Tzus. I love animals especially puppies and dogs. I am also willing to watch your cats if you also have them. I wanted to be a veterinarian or veterinary assistant but I didn't quite have the grades for it so that's why I decided to become a dog sitter, a dog walker, pet care taker, dog lover, and pet lover. I will take the best care of your pet and love it like my very own. Hope to hear from you soon. I'm available for house sitting on weekends and some week nights just ask me. Availability for pet care all week depending on the hours needed. I always accompany pets when they are outside even in a fenced in yard. I take short or long walks depending on what is requested.

About: I'm able to provide a flexible range of hours, and I've had experience with many lovable cats and dogs! I love going outdoors and finding new walking trails. I have lots of time where I'm working on either school or work at home. I've thought about getting a pet myself, but want to wait until I'm out of college. I currently live with three cats; Fitz, Zuri, and Charlie. I used to say I’m a dog person, but they have definitely found their way into my heart. Zuri is my little buddy and loves to play with a string. When caring for a pet at my client's home, I like to make sure both the client and their pet are comfortable with me. I try to keep things as steady and close to their normal routine as possible.

About: I have grown up with dogs and dog sit for many families. I have helped with different types of breeds, ages, and needs of many dogs over the years. I currently work in Des Moines during the week but have great availability on evenings and weekends. If your dog is fine staying home alone during the day if they stay with us, or when we stay at your home please consider us! We live on the third floor of an apartment complex here in Ankeny with elevator access! We have a patio that in warmer months we can always put per pads down if needed. Both me and my boyfriend are big dog lovers and will create a fun and safe environment for any and all pets. We do live in an apartment complex so if your pet needs lots of room to roam, our two bedroom apartment might not be a great fit.

About: Hi, I’m Ireland! Growing up with dogs, I have years of firsthand experience in caring for them, from feeding and grooming to basic training, and being CPR & FIRST AID Certified making me the perfect fit for any medical emergency that might occur. My passion for animals extends beyond my own pets—I am dedicated to ensuring every animal in my care feels safe, loved, and well-attended to. I prioritize meeting each pet’s needs, including feeding, providing fresh water, regular potty breaks, and plenty of playtime. I understand that every pet has its own personality and requirements, and I take the time to ensure they are comfortable, happy, and treated with kindness. I’m majoring in Animal Ecology and this summer I have online classes so I will be more available than I am in fall, winter, and spring. On weekends, I travel home to care for my family’s animals, further reinforcing my commitment to animal welfare. I love to make sure that your pet feels at home even when away from home, I can mimic your daily schedule as best as possible and provide as many or as little updates as you wish! Whether it's every other day or every hour, I'll make it happen. There's no smoking or any sort of paraphernalia allowed in my home, as my family has a history of health issues.

About: I've had cats my entire life, and my husband and I currently have two amazing but SUPER high energy little kitties named Eli and Finn. We are very obsessed, and they're spoiled! I have grown up in a very close, tight-knit family with LOTS of dogs and cats, and I've pet-sat more times than I can count. I LOVE animals and they tend to like me as well. I have experience with feeding, medicine, walking, vet visits, picking up animals from pet hotels, etc. I pet sit, house sit, and babysit for a lot of my family and friends, have been a nanny to my godson who has medical complications, and am well-trusted. My husband and I are going through fertility treatments, and the profit from my pet-sitting business will be supporting us in building our family! We would deeply appreciate your support while your pets receive great care in exchange! I'm in ministry school to become a hospital/hospice chaplain, a worship leader, and an entrepreneur, so my schedule is very flexible! I look forward to meeting your schedule needs. I am not able to keep pets at my home. I am able to go to the house site and take care of your fur babies, however, and spend time at your place to give your darlings some affection, give medicine, or whatever else you need done!
