“My wife and I left the country for about 10 days and were worried because we have never left our dog with strangers or in a kennel because he is older and adopted. He has a weird routine and glaucoma so he needed a little extra care but they handled him perfectly and he fit right into their routine. Melanie and her family saved us 100%! They constantly sent us pics and updates on him which made us feel better. They took care of him as if he was part of their family and we greatly appreciate it. 10/10!”

He met and played with her dog Rip and cat Ghost as well as the other dogs she watched during his 5-day stay. He came home tired and happy. She communicated and was flexible with drop-off and pick-up, and sent us updates to let us know how Tripper was doing. We would absolutely love to board with her again. We highly recommend her!”

About: I have taken care of cats of every kind since I was 12. Both my own family’s cats as well as those belonging to friends and family. I am equipped to scoop and change litter; feed any specific diet; and provide the right amounts of play and chill cuddle time whenever needed. If your cats are shy and don’t like sitters, I completely understand and won’t push them. I have cared for long-haired cats, short-haired and short-tempered ones, gentle ones, and shy and fearful ones. I have experience administering medication as well, and safely adventuring outside if your cat enjoys that. Anything your cat needs, I will strive to provide it for them.

I may be available for dropins before or after work in Ames on a limited basis during the work week. Please ask for details. I am willing to petsit outside of my listed range for an added fee.

“This was Buddy's first day care experience with Samantha and he just loved it... Her dogs were amazing with him and they quickly became very good friends. I would highly recommend her. We received regular updates. She is very passionate and professional in caring for these fur babies. Her house looks like a beautiful retreat for the four legged babies. I cannot thank you enough for taking such good care of Buddy.”

About: I have been a vet tech for 4 years and have had animals all my life, dogs, cats, horses, and pocket pets. Love them all. I work full time, but have longer lunch breaks so can usually make mid day, can have busy weekends but make time work as needed. I have a dog and two cats myself. I love to focus on play and cuddle equally. If a pet ever needs to come to me, I have a separate guest room just for them!

About: I’ve pet sat since middle school with varying animals including dogs, cats, and even rabbits. I’m a big animal person hoping to ensure that your furry companions are in the hands of someone efficient and careing. I also work part time at a cat cafe in valley junction so I work with cats on a regular basis. With general pet care I am always trying to be as available as I can. Im only unavailable once a week (typically Thursday and Fridays, but it differs). I am always very flexible. I have a fenced in yard and a dog at home that is fairly well behaved around other dogs. I do not have a crate at my home and would prefer to care for your pet in your home.

About: I worked at a pet boarding facility for 3 years prior to my current position. I learned valuable skills such as learning behavior, correcting behavior, and how to communicate social cues to pet parents. I'm hoping to find clients that needs someone during unconventional times as I work a full time position. Please let me know what times you're looking for and we'll see if I can be a fit for you and your pet! As I mentioned earlier, I treat my dog like my own child. I consider the facts that she can't speak for herself or vocalize her concerns, pains, etc. I know that when I have someone watching my pet, I want to ensure that they can read her cues and handle a emergent situation. I'm prepared to be that person you pet finds comfort in when you're away.

About: I've pet/house sat for multiple people in the past. Animals include dogs, cats, fish, and reptiles. I like to have a meet and greet before ever staying with your pets alone. If you have any special diets or quirks make sure we discuss them in advance! I don't mind staying for a few hours to watch your animals or just drop in, whatever is needed! I have a nighttime job so, your animals will need to be able to be alone at night a few days of the week! I will discuss meal plan, how often you walk them/let them outside, and if they have meds with you prior to caring for your animals.

About: I have been the main caretaker of any animal I’ve ever had, some because I was the one who begged for it. And others because I just love animals so much that their care is only half the fun. I have experience with animals in all stages of life, from puppies to seniors. My puppy experience ranges from being the one who nursing a parvo puppy back to excellent health, she is now 3 years old and thriving. I also have a senior dog, who is such a joy but I think he forgets he has arthritis with all of his puppy antics. I also have a lot experience with teaching many tricks so don’t be surprised if your animal learns something new every time they see me! I work from home and have only two courses a day, so I have a lot of time on my hands to do a good pet care routine. My babies (my cats and hermit crabs) are on a routine or rather I am. We do feedings in the morning and have an hour of down time for everyone to “stretch” their legs before I go to class. I’m away for 3 hours before I’m back and during that time I can walk a dog if one is staying. And then I work from home so pretty much I’m at the animals beck and call whenever they need anything. I am in an apartment which lessens the risk of anything happening to your pet on my watch! Also with living in an apartment by campus we can always go for walks and meet some college students wanting some animal love!

About: Animal lover and owner for 15+ years, with experience caring for dogs, cats, snakes, and a crested gecko. I genuinely love caring for pets, whether they’re mine or yours! I’m always happy to help keep them safe, loved, and well cared for As a stay-at-home mom, my schedule is naturally flexible, which allows me to be available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, and check-ins. I love being able to use that flexibility to help care for other families’ pets whenever they need it. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space and your animals with the same respect and attention I give my own. I follow all routines closely, provide plenty of love and supervision, and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their familiar environment.

About: I’ve always been around cats and dogs for as long as I can remember. I’ve mastered the process of giving medications. I’ve volunteered in a shelter some years ago and I learned a lot while I was there. I’ve trained all of my current and past pets and even helped some friends with theirs. I craft my own pet food in my kitchen to ensure all nutrients are available to them. I take pet health to a very serious level! Currently, I’m just in school So I have plenty of time. I’m available Mon- sun at 10am, 3pm, and anytime after 5pm! Friday is the only day that I’m available at 11am rather than 10am but I’m free for the day after 11am. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. I take time to learn their personality, feeding schedule, litter habits, and any specific needs before caring for them. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure everything is left clean and secure. I’m also attentive to doors, windows, plants, and anything else a curious pet could get into. I give pets plenty of attention and playtime while also respecting them when they need space. If they need medication or any extra care, I’m comfortable handling that as well.

About: I have been dog sitting for my friends and family for years. I work from home 2 days a week and have a large fenced in backyard. I have a 3 bedroom house located a few block from a bike/walking trail. I would like a dog of my own but my schedule doesn’t allow for that so cuddling and spending time with your dog would be perfect. Your dog will have access to my furniture while I am home. I can maintain a set schedule and provide your dog with love and care while you are away. Your pet would be in a kennel very minimal and have lots of attention. Would just be in a kennel if I need to run errands. I have a large fenced in backyard that your pet will love to run free in. The fence was replaced summer of 2021 after the derecho. I work a hybrid schedule 3 days in an office 2 days at home. My boyfriend is home every Friday, he does not work Fridays. I have a large privacy fenced in yard for your dog to play in. I can kennel or crate your dog at your preference. I have a lock on the inside of my front door incase a dog jumps and opens the door.

About: I’ve had for dogs of every age and size for my entire life, but have been a serious caretaker of them for about 10 years. I can give medicines including insulin shots, and will heed every dietary and exercise need given to me. I’m currently working full-time, however I commute from Ames to Des Moines every day so I am used to driving long distances. I also have a very flexible schedule and can work from home if I can give at least 2-3 days notice; I can leave for long periods at lunch; and I can get off work early if a drop-in visit is needed before 4:00. I can also stay as late as necessary into the evening, as long as expectations are communicated beforehand. I am extremely communicative and I will let my clients know if I am early, behind, or unable to complete a task. I cannot take pets into my apartment or workplace, however, I have experience with strictly and loosely trained animals in just about every situation under the sun. I am comfortable staying the night in a well secured home, or taking a few minutes to play with the pet(s) in the middle of the day. I am extremely clean and organized and will strive to leave my clients’ homes in the same shape or cleaner in case there are any accidents, as I am also well-versed in cleaning up after any mishaps from being left alone or too excited.

About: As a dog mama myself, I understand that our dogs are more than just our pets. They’re an integral part of our family! I strive to provide them with the necessary care they need, but also the enrichment they need to thrive and live a happy life. I love to play with them, take them out for walks, and provide them with love and pets. It’s important to me that they are not just physically cared for, but they are mentally stimulated through play and emotionally cared for at every visit. I'm always mindful that all pets should be greeted with a slow introduction, that does not come off as intrusive, or threatening. Even the most social pets, can behave differently when an unfamiliar person enters their home while family is not present. I always take that into consideration upon each visit, as I get to know your dog/cat, and build a trusting relationship. Whether your pet goes out on a leash, uses a fenced in yard, or requires potty pads to go to the bathroom, I'll follow your instructions as discussed through the Rover app, or during our initial "meet and greet". Requested information about your pet -Medication schedule -Behavioral issues that may affect walking your pet on public sidewalks, history of biting or aggression while being fed. -Ongoing medical conditions -Vet number and/or emergency contact I currently work on a hybrid schedule - 3 days in West Des Moines and 2 days at home in Ankeny. I have a flexible schedule where I can pop around to your pet when needed. I have a heart for animals along with the patience needed to give quality pet care. Your pet will always come first and I would treat them as if they are my own.

“Jessica watched Tripper for us during our most recent trip out of town. It was our first time boarding Tripper anywhere, and he had a blast. He met and played with her dog Rip and cat Ghost as well as the other dogs she watched during his 5-day stay. He came home tired and happy. She communicated and was flexible with drop-off and pick-up, and sent us updates to let us know how Tripper was doing. We would absolutely love to board with her again. We highly recommend her!”

“Cynthia took great care of our dog! She was kind, responsive and great to work with. We knew it would be tricky to get him to eat and she gave extra attention to make sure he did. We are so grateful!”

“Kelly took great care of Cooper while we were out of town for a week! I loved knowing that she’s a dog trainer. He got along great with her dogs and had a place nearby to run. She was also super responsive. Will definitely use her again.”

“AMAZING! Mallory was great!! My dog Lilo had a blast from the looks of it. Mallory sent me plenty of pictures, videos and thorough updates on how my dog was doing. From the very first message during the booking process, Mallory was very kind, friendly and professional-which made me confident Lilo would be in good hands. Now I’m home again with Lilo and shes happy and tired from all the fun walks she had during her stay. If you’re looking for soto take care of your dog during a long stay I cannot recommend Mallory more!! Thank you for everything!!”
