1. Mackenzie 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.”
2. Amy D.
“Amy was absolutely a perfect fit for us and our dog! He was loved and spoiled just like his parents would do❤️ Daily updates and pictures. Couldn’t have asked for a better caretaker. Will absolutely use her again”
3. Angie M.
“We would highly recommend Angie for anyone’s pet sitting needs! She didn’t experience any issues with our elderly, special needs dog who requires medication and a Bailey chair to eat in twice a day, who also can be dog reactive on walks. Nor with our senior cat who requires medication daily as well. Our other senior cat who is very skittish even came out to say hi, which I think shows a lot about Angie’s character. We loved the occasional check ins and photos of our pets we received from Angie. On top of all of that, we came home to a clean house. After being gone 10 days. With 3 shedding pets in the house! We feel very fortunate to have found Angie. She will be our top choice for all future pet sitting needs.”

5. Tiffany D.
“Tiffany was amazing and took great care of our two dogs, and one is a puppy! Loved all the updates she sent with pictures and videos. House was so clean and left little notes for us. She will be our go-to dog sitter from now on! Thank you Tiffany!🩷”
6. Gloria B.
“I’ve seen Gloria with Rico and she would be a perfect candidate for a pet sitter. She takes him to the park which he loves and also finds fellow dog lovers to come with so that Rico has a friend. He loves playing outside her apartment with all his toys and going on walks with her, even though his little legs don’t let him go very far. She has trained him on fetch and he loves it, he also loves playing tug of war with Gloria on the couch. She takes very good care of him and he’s a happy dog.”

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies! I am available anytime after 10am every day! My apartment complex is very pet friendly! I also live near downtown so the fur babies and I can go on long or short beautiful walks!

14. Ajla K.
“Ajla took great care of our giant breed 4 month old puppy! She was on time, communicative and gave us consistent updates about how things were going. With Ajla we knew our puppy was in capable and friendly hands with her experience with other giant breed puppies. On top of that, our puppy was looking for her after she left to keep playing!”
15. Samantha M.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 11 for my neighbors during the summer. Later on, during high school, my family adopted a dog as we planned to train her to be a service dog for my sister. I helped care for Lexi and even taught her some tricks like shake in exchange for belly rubs. I could also help with Pet Transportation and Pet Walking. I'm currently enrolled in college but am free every weekend. I am also available Monday and Friday nights. However, I do not currently own a pet, but I have had to care of my sibling's pets since they were younger and often forgot to do it. I have cared for my sister's dog Lexi and my brother's hermit crabs, and will sometimes take care of my aunt's dogs. I am often good with pets after meeting them. I normally list down important information related to the pets. I also often ask for more detail on how I can accommodate the client's pet.
16. Madison W.
About: I worked at a Vet Clinic for five years where I worked with dogs of all ages. My specialty was senior dogs. I consider myself patient and loving. I’m currently in between being done with my masters degree and looking for a new job with my degree. I’m taking a break between now and then so I have plenty of time to provide services ! I have one dog who is very friendly to other animals. I have one cat who is very independent and will not be a bother to any other friends.
17. Brandon S.
“We were lucky enough to get Brandon S on short notice of a holiday weekend to come and watch our Frenchie, Carl, and his purrific brother Bull. We typically do a drop at a Rover’s house, but Brandon was able to stay and hold the fort down. We couldn’t be happier with the setup. We received lots of photos of a happy Carl. The dog was tired-out and fully fed when we got home - a very good sign that our anxious dog felt comfortable with Brandon. Not only was he good with the animals, but he left the place spotless - even washed the sheets! We couldn’t recommend him more, we’ll be using him again!”
18. Karynna J.
About: Hi! My name is Karynna and I have taken care of many different dogs at all stages of their life. Family, friends, and neighbors have relied on me to watch their pets. I just graduated in May at DesMoines Area Community College. I have a lot of free time to spend with animals, I am usually available at anytime. My boyfriend and I have a cat named Marvin, he is a little younger than 2 years old. We also have a great pyrenees. She is almost 3 years old and weighs 110lbs. They are our pride and joy so I know how it feels to leave your furry babies at home. But I will do everything in my will to make it a fun and calming experience for everyone! I have a lot of free time, therefore I am available most days. I will mark off the days that I am not. I am very excited to meet some amazing animals! At my apartment I will take Boo, our great pyrenees on daily, afternoon or night walks. I also take her out 2-3 times a day just to potty. When Boo is on her last potty for the day I will also bring our cat Marvin. He loves the dog park!
19. Natalie T.
About: I grew up around a variety of animals. From pigs to cows. Sheep, goats, rabbits, hamsters, dogs, cats, fish, and more. I’ve seen and cared for so many animals growing up with a farm in the country and living in suburbs during school time! I know animals are too good for humans. Therefore I will do anything I can to always care and help animals in need. I can confidently say your animals is in safe hands :) As a college student, tending for my animals is a big responsibility. Feeding and maintaining the happiness of my pets is a great joy in my life. It is just a task that comes with caring for any animals. It is always worth the responsibility. Having two cats in my home allows for me to clean the litter box, provide food daily, take my cats for time outside, and to provide them with endless petting sessions. A clean environment ensures the pets happiness and well being.
20. Desirae J.
“Desirae is a very smart, kind, loving, and very passionate about animals. She is currently enrolled at Ellsworth Community College, studying to become a Veterinarian. Desirae loves spending time with animals. Your pet would be in excellent care with Desirae. Desirae loves to be outside, walking, playing, with your pet would be a bonus for her.”
