Dog Walking in South Park, Des Moines, IA

“Cory is matter-of-fact, flexible, and a good energy for our hyper lab mix. We were able to schedule an additional walk during our vacation which we really appreciated. We received updates each time he stopped by. Big fan!”

“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 was able to book Troy on short notice, which was very helpful. He was prompt, friendly, and my dog was instantly comfortable with him. I’d definitely recommend Troy and plan to book him again in the future!”

“Drew is wonderful!! So accommodating with my schedule, where my dog will be day-to-day, and super sweet with Yukon! Responsive, responsible, and friendly. Highly recommend!!”

“Thank you so much!!”

“Molly has been providing us with walks and doggie day care for a number of weeks. She is always reliable, professional, and puntual! We're very glad to have her help giving our dog Ezio the exercise, care, and company he deserves while my spouse and I both work full-time at an office. She clearly knows what she's doing when taking care of pets.”

“Priscilla is a wonderful walker. I would highly recommend her.”

“Katie loves animals and takes great care of her fur babies. I have no doubt that she would go above and beyond to give your fur babies the love, affection and attention they deserve while in her care.”

“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.”

“Kevin is trusting, independent and takes direction well. If you ask him to help you out he’s always loyal and generous. We found him to go above and beyond expectations. .”

“Andrea is our go-to dog sitter and worth every penny. Our dog takes medication, is now deaf and sometimes goes on walks. Andrea is amazing, sends pictures all the time and makes our vacations relaxing because I don’t have to worry about any issues at home.”

“Holly is one of the most loving dog moms I know. She is beyond capable of taking care of a lot of different dog needs and breeds. Her ability to have patience and compassion for her dog is what makes her a great person to dog sit and care for other people’s dogs.”

“Lydia has grown up with animals in the house her whole life and is familiar with how to take care of animals such as hampsters, fish, cats, and dogs. She is kind, responsible, and an excellent problem solver. Lydia is used to interacting with people in the business world and has developed a high level of professionalism that’s rare to see in a young adult. She is incredibly trustworthy and she always follows through with what she commits to doing. She’s also a lot of fun! Your house and pets would be in good hands.”

“I’ve known Jenna for my entire life. She has had a few of her own personal pets and has, for many years, watched other pets. She has more than sufficient experience in pet grooming as well including bathing and nail clipping (even of the most stubborn dogs!)”

About: I always say my super power is getting dogs and children to bond with me right away! I’ve lived with a dog or had a dog for most of my life! And after my Great Dane passed away in 2020, I have found myself not ready to be a dog mom again. So, I have become the best dog auntie I can be! Whatever your dog(s) need, whether it a quick walk around the block or a long hike, or just some cuddles, I am your person! I am here to spoil your dog just as you would. Also I am allergic to cats (I know sad) so I would prefer to not dog sit with a house full of cats but I am willing to do one cat in the house hold for a short amount of time! I am a photographer, who is a busybody type of person, so my genius idea is why not spend my free time with some doggos! Because let’s be honest dogs are better than humans! My Great Dane had separation anxiety, so I know how important it is to find a trustworthy and kind person to watch your fur baby or babies. And I especially know how hard it is to find someone willing to stay at your house for the sake of your dog(s). I get it I have been there! So I am willing to do whatever is best for you and your dog(s).

“Caitlin Sheldon has a wonderful and natural way with animals and pets. She is very patient. Animals seem to come to her and they listen to her. She can get them to sit and stay and shake paws. They love being around her. Caitlin has rescued a few cats. And she has one dog of her own. Joey. They adore her. She would make a wonderful pet walker or sitter. She treats them like family.”

“Arielle and Karl did a great job playing with our dogs while we were gone. Great communication and responsiveness. I’d definitely book them again!”

About: I have had pet since the day I was born. When I had my girls we got a puppy who was 8 weeks old and has since past away I’m March 2022 at the age of 10. We have 3 cats.
