“My dogs adore Elizabeth! My great pyrenees, while friendly, rarely let's strangers touch him right away and immediately let Libby pet him! She was able to control both my young german shepherd and my great pyrenees on a walk without issue. She even asked if she could bring treats for them that she bought herself. She made sure to put everything back where she found it and made sure that my black german shepherd didn't get too hot on his walk. I will definitely book with her again!!”

About: My husband and I are owners of two 70 lb "lap" dogs. They became part of our family when we adopted them at the age of 3. We have trained them basic commands such as sit, lay down, stay, hand shake, and touch. We both have flexible work schedules that would allow us to check in with your pet: before work, lunch, after work and bed time. We both have the ability to work remote if necessary. Abide by any rules from the owner. Respect your home and privacy. We would visit your pet up to 4 times a day. Clean any necessary items like litter boxes or potty accidents. Play or go on walks as time allows.

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.

“Allison is amazing! She went above and beyond helping me with my precious Vivian ? Highly recommend!”

About: As someone who has been around dogs since the age of 9, pet care comes naturally to me. I have always had a deep love and appreciation for animals, and have made it my mission to care for them intentionally. Over the years, I have gained extensive experience in pet sitting, dog walking, and basic grooming. I take pride in providing the highest level of care for every pet I encounter, and strive to create a comfortable and safe environment for them. My passion for animal welfare drives me to always go above and beyond for the pets under my care, ensuring that they receive the love and attention they deserve. Dog sitting is a great option for me. I can easily take care of the dog during the day while I work, and have plenty of time to spend with them on the weekends. Plus, since I'm already at home, it's convenient for me to give the dog the attention and care they need throughout the day. When entrusted to care for a dog owner's pet in their home while they are away, I provide attentive and responsible care. This involves following the owner's instructions for feeding, exercise, and any medication or special needs the pet may have. I also make sure the pet receives plenty of love and attention, with regular playtime and cuddles. Additionally, I keep the home clean and tidy, and communicate with the owner as needed to ensure they have peace of mind knowing their pet is in good hands.

About: I have plenty of expertise when it comes to watching and caring for dogs. My dad and I have been raising dogs for as long as I can remember, and I have always been very involved in making sure they were well cared for. If you choose me to care for your animals you can rest assured that they will be in the care of someone who genuinely cares for them and has the skill set to do so. I’m currently working a part time job, and have classes Monday, Wednesday and Friday. My schedule is relatively flexible and can likely accommodate any of your requests. I will ensure a safe, clean environment and follow the owner's care guidelines and will make any accommodations needed. Provide scheduled meals, exercise, and medication, and keep emergency numbers handy.

About: I have had many different pets of my own during my lifetime; all of different shapes, sizes and breeds! I have had close family and friends who call me for any dog sitting or care taking services. I am a teacher with a lot of availability during the summer so I can most likely cover any hours you need. I truly love animals and I will treat your pets like my own 🥰 I am a teacher during the months of August-May so I have a lot of availability during the summer. I can be available early in the day or check in late in the evenings. I make sure to follow the owners careful instructions that are left for me and will reach out with any and all questions. I am not shy with communication!

About: I’ve had cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, and horses growing up. Having a wide range of animals growing up has helped me learn what a pet is wanting and needing. I’m currently a college student, my evening can be flexible as well as my weekends! Willing to work with owners to create a balance that works for me and your pets. I would prefer to have your pet in your home! I think that will be best for your pets safety and mine too. I’m willing to do what the owner is wanting for their pets comfortability.

About: I have had dogs my entire life. That’s a long time! I assure you your dog would be in good hands! I will love them like they were mine! I stay home now so I’m available pretty much anytime. I’m willing to go to your home if it’s not to far away. Just ask I’m sure we can work something out. I have a fenced in yard. I have two friendly dogs. One has a crate and one doesn’t. They both sleep where they want. I crate one only sometimes.

About: Prices are negotiable. I understand when having multiple dogs it racks up to a lot. I am willing to work with you on prices. I’ve had a dog since I was 8 years old. My love for dogs is never ending. I have been taking care of other peoples dogs since I was 19. I’m available to stay with your dog. I am not available to bring your dog to my house. I believe dogs do best in their own environment with all their toys and their own area. I’m currently work full time for a daycare in Polk City. I work 10hr days Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. On the weekends I like to take my sister’s dog for a walk unless I am watching someone else dog I will take that dog on a walk if able to. Majority of the dogs I watch stay at home because they know that area better. Anxiety is very common in dogs that get boarded or are away from home.

About: Little about me-I've taken care of pets since I was about 10 years old. The first dog I took care of was a male maultese mix, until he was about 10 years old when he developed lung cancer and we had to put him down. We then got another male maultese-poodle mix. I have also owned and taken care of a female black lab, female corgi mix, male pitbull, and a male German shepherd/Rottweiler/husky mix. I have raised and trained some puppies, including the German shepherd mix. I've taken care of birds, cats, bunnies/rabbit, and guinea pigs. On top of those experiences I've spent a lot of time with friend's pets, helping take care of them when they need it. I loved watching Ceasar Mellan growing up and I've used a lot of his methods to train my animals. I am an animal person, loving animals is my passion. I understand how much our pets mean to us and how important it is for them to be in a safe environment. I am available for pet care any day of the week so please don't hesitate to reach out whenever you want. I live in West des moines. I live with my boyfriend, my three cats, and his cat. I knit, which my cats love to play with at the same time lol. I will cuddle with them and watch movies. Sometimes I take my cats with me to the beach or parks, they stay in the car but they like the little adventure.
