Jessica was great! She took time out of her night to come visit Koda the night before she walked him and see how they did with each other! She was also a great walker and was willing to just hang out with him outside of his kennel and play with his toys! We will definitely be going back to Jessica again!

I have worked with Aurora for over a year now and she is by far one of the best Doctors I have ever worked with. She has a strong background in veterinary emergency medicine and has a magnificent attention to detail. Along with her love and care for animals, she will always advocate for them no matter what the circumstances are.

About: I have been around puppy dogs all of my life. From Saint Bernards to chihuahuas to basset hounds to mini dachshunds and everything in between. I am also the proud grannie of a Dutch shepherd. Having lost my 13-year-old companion a few years ago my heart is finally ready to help others take care of their loved ones. I am currently working full-time downtime and am available for early morning and evening potty breaks and walks. Depending on the location I can pop in over lunch. I am also available to stay overnight with your little one. I believe furry ones are more comfortable in their own homes. I strive to provide as much normalcy as possible to their routine. They will miss you, facetime is always an option for them to hear your voice.

Stacey has taken care of my dog and 5 cats since June 2024, when I moved to Des Moines. Every weekend she has cared for them. Stacey makes sure all the pets have food and water. She scoops all the litter boxes. She gives my dog her medications and takes her for walks. She send me updates and pictures. She is very dependable. I never have I worry who is going to take care of everyone while I’m gone at work.

Lacey was excellent with my Australian Shepards! She kept me updated and informed on their walks and care. She even was able to help assess how to provide special care for the smaller one who is a bit timid and easily bossed by big sister! Thank you so much Laceyn I felt like my pets were being loved even while I was away! Will book again 💯

About: I have years of experience caring for a variety of pets, from young puppies to senior dogs with special needs. What sets me apart from other sitters is my personalized approach to each animal’s unique temperament and requirements. I’m experienced in administering medications, managing special diets, and providing extra care for senior pets who may need more attention and patience. I also have experience with basic puppy training, including housebreaking and crate training. Additionally, having a calm and friendly husky at home helps create a comfortable, social environment for your pet. My priority is ensuring your dog feels safe, happy, and well-cared for while you’re away! As a full-time caregiver, I have ample time and flexibility to provide your pet with the attention and care they deserve. Rest assured, your furry friend will receive plenty of love, companionship, and personalized attention, ensuring they feel safe and content while you’re away! I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment when caring for pets in my home or yours. Here’s how I ensure the best care for your pet: 1. Safe Environment: My home is pet-proofed, with all hazardous items securely stored out of reach. I have a designated pet area that is clean, quiet, and free from potential dangers. 2. Individual Attention: I make sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for by providing individualized attention. I take the time to understand their specific needs and preferences, creating a routine that suits them. 3. Supervised Interactions: When pets are interacting, I supervise them closely to ensure a harmonious environment. This is especially important for pets who may be shy or anxious. 4. Trust and Communication: I believe in building a strong relationship with both pets and their owners. I provide regular updates, including photos and messages, so you can feel connected to your pet while you’re away. 5. Emergency Preparedness: I am trained in pet first aid and CPR, and I have a plan in place for emergencies. I keep important contact information, including your vet’s details, readily available. 6. Structured Routine: I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, exercise, and playtime to provide your pet with a sense of stability and comfort. Overall, my goal is to create a safe, trusting, and nurturing environment for your pets, ensuring their well-being and happiness while you’re away.
