House Sitting in Southwestern Hills, Des Moines, IA

“Victoria was amazing. All the boys seemed to have a great time with her while we were gone. She went above and beyond to make us comfortable leaving. She also left a few extra touches around the house that showed just how well she cared for our home as well.”

Jill W.

“Great communication and daily photos/videos. This was our first time leaving our dog, so she didn't eat for the first day we were gone. We collaborated on some problem solving, and she decided she could eat again with the help of some peanut butter. House was well cared for, as well.”

“We left for a full week. I was really nervous to leave my 2 dogs and cat with a “stranger” but Allison provided us with a visit before our trip to make sure that we felt comfortable with her as well as the puppies. The day we left she show up on time as scheduled and she make me feel really good before we left assuring me that everything will be okay. Every day she send me pictures of my puppies and she gave me constant updates. My dogs absolutely love her, and even the cat that really doesn’t like anybody, warm up to her. If you are looking on someone reliable and loving to take care of your best friends I should absolutely recommend Allison.”

“We were apprehensive leaving Joey with someone we didn’t know due to some special needs but felt at ease when connecting with Dawn during our meet and greet. Dawn was great and Joey was well cared for. She provided us with updates and we didn’t worry about him one bit. We’ll definitely ask Dawn to care for Joey again!! Thank you Dawn!!”

“Andrea stayed at our house and watched the sogs over a ling weekend. She gave us updates on the pets, was on time, met with us before she watched the dogs and asked great queations about their routines. I will for sure use her again if we need a dog or cat sitter.”

Sarah Z.

“Our dog is a little nervous and he seemed to do great with Molly staying with him for the weekend! We got periodic photo updates so we could see how he was doing. We’d definitely have Molly stay with him again!”

Lauren L.

“Christina was able to come through in a pinch for me and Cora! She was so understanding and accommodating. She made sure to communicate about how she was doing and was extra sensitive to Cora’s extra needs, making sure to get her medication on time! I would definitely have her come stay with Cora again.”

“Daniel was amazing! He agreed to watch Jc last minute which was a huge blessing! I would 100% recommend Daniel as he made sure Jc felt safe and loved!”

“Travis was exceptionally quick to respond and very attentive to my three dogs. Two of my dogs can be hyper and he never once seemed put off by their behaviors. I got photo updates from him without having to ask and he was on time to get to my house before we left out of state. If we needed a sitter again, we’d definitely book with Travis.”

“Zaira was wonderful with my pups! She stopped by earlier in the day to meet the pups and get the lay of the land and I really appreciated that. She was very professional and courteous and cared for my pups in a very loving way. Making them relaxed and comfortable. Zaira has great communication skills and kept my piece of mind with pictures and kept me informed while I was away. I would re-book with her without hesitation.”

About: I’ve taken care of our family dogs since I could walk, including several Boston terriers, a sweet black lab, and a very lazy Bassett hound. I am experienced in senior care and medication administration as well. I now live with my two cats, Olive and Saltine. They are my literal children and I love them to death. I’m working full-time, but I’m available weekday mornings and evenings as well as full-time on weekends. Let me know what you need and I can try to make it happen! I strive to treat your pets home as if they’re my own. Every pet has their own unique needs. I’m attentive to detail and will follow your instructions to the letter.

“Cory is awesome! Always communicates and is on time. One of the best dog sitters we have ever had! Thanks Cory we never worry when we leave Elvis with you!”

“Pete did an excellent job with our fur babies while we were away! Even our bashful cat Petunia succumbed to his charms. Pete sent us photos multiple times while we were gone. It was reassuring to see our fur-kids doing well. The house was well maintained upon our return. We will be reaching out again to book with Pete.”

Jamalyn S.

“Sophia took excellent care of Tiffany while I was out of town for a few days. I keep rebooking her because when I come home, Tiffany is happy and stress free. Sophia follows the instructions I leave for Tiffany’s medicine and routine perfectly and I know I can trust her with Tiffany and my home.”

About: I have been around dogs since I was a little kid! My family has always had a big dog little dog combo, and our family pets have had a wide range of personalities. I am comfortable working with all dogs, from excited Chihuahuas to nervous foster dogs to senior Golden Retrievers. I have also cared for a variety of lovely American breeds, such as Boxers, Pitties, and Bulldogs. I look forward to working with you and meeting your best friend! I'm currently working part-time doing sewing alterations from home! My schedule is incredibly flexible, with only a handful of appointments scattered throughout the day. Checking in on your pet will be my number one priority. If there is more specialized attention needed throughout the day, I can also shift my part-time hours to another day. I do not offer boarding services in my home at this time, but when I am taking care of your best friend at your home, safety is my number one priority. If we have a walk planned, I make sure that the weather is in the safe temperature range before we leave, and I always carry an emergency water bottle/bowl with me. We will also always stay within a 15-minute walk to your home/my vehicle in case of emergency! While letting pets out into a fenced-in yard, they will be supervised the entire time and let back in the home as soon as they indicate they would like back inside. When it comes to pet sitting for longer stays, the needs of you and your pet change, so the services I offer shift accordingly. While pet sitting, every time I come to your home, I will do a safety walk of the home to make sure no accidents have occurred, and nothing that isn't meant to be played with has made it to the floor. I have a lot of experience with sock monsters, so I understand the need to keep a home tidy when caring for a dog. I will do a walk of the yard every day to make sure nothing that could harm your pet is present and that no new holes or damage to the fencing has occurred. When I am leaving your home for the night, or periods through the day, I triple check that all of the doors and windows are locked so you won't have to worry about any harm coming to your best friend or your home. If you have plants that need to be cared for throughout your home, I am also more than happy to provide care to them as well!

“Sandy was amazing! She was on time, was a great communicator sending updates and photos and took great care of our two small dogs. The dogs and house were well cared for.”

“Aaliyah watched my two cats while we were on vacation. She went above and beyond taking care of them & our home even though my boys put her in some tough & unexpected situations. There were late nights, early mornings, and lots of phone calls & texts messages. I'd definitely book her again if she'd accept me!”

Jen C.

“Brooks is excellent and was so good with my three dachshunds. He had a lot of patience for my aggressive and skittish one. They loved him to death. So glad we found you…)”
