Dog Sitting in Waukee

About: I have always loved dog sitting for friends and family. Unfortunately my cat does not allow me to get a dog. But I would love to meet all the dogs and go for all the walks! I am currently working part time and have a very flexible schedule that can be changed very easily. Going on long walks is already part of my daily routine. Unfortunately I do have a cat so I won't be able to board. I can adapt to the clients pets needs very easily and pay close attention to detail. Cleaning up a big mess is sometimes part of the job and I intend to always leave the pets space cleaner than I found it!

“Millie was so happy when I got home. Mckenna obviously knows what dogs need and want. Thanks, will definitely reach out again”

About: I grew up on a farm, so taking care of animals was a part of my daily routine. I have had pets my whole life, including: cats, dogs, and bunnies! My friends and family have trusted me to take care their pets when they’re away from home. I help my great aunt and uncle with their collie puppies every year too! I am currently a student at Iowa State University entering my senior year! This summer I am looking to help people out and fill up my schedule with your fur babies! I currently live in an apartment, so I won’t be able to house any pets. I will be able to keep your pets company when you’re away or even check on them throughout the day.

About: Pediatric nurse and life long dog lover! I’m here to make your pets feel safe, loved, and cared for. Let’s keep your pet’s routine consistent while you’re away! As a nurse my schedule varies week to week but I typically know weeks in advance. On my days off I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and whatever other needs your furry friend may have. I prioritize keeping pets comfortable by sticking to their normal routine as closely as possible. Whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, or bedtime habits. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel secure in their familiar environment while keeping owners updated with photos and messages!

About: What sets me apart is the love and experience I’ve built over the years caring for all kinds of animals. All of my pets have been adopted or rescued by me, and back when I lived in Mexico, I had a small farm where I cared for many animals — at one point, I even bottle-fed 12 puppies at once! That experience taught me patience, compassion, and how to care for animals with different needs, from tiny babies to seniors. Every pet I look after gets the same love and attention I give my own. I have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to focus on caring for pets throughout the day. On both weekdays and weekends, I’m usually available from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., but I can adjust my hours if needed to fit your pet’s routine. I like keeping a little routine with every pet I care for. At home, I follow a feeding schedule and take them out regularly so they stay happy and balanced. I believe structure and love help both of us feel calm and connected every day.

“Sarah went above and beyond while caring for our Dwight. The photos and daily check ups were outstanding. Her communication was great. This was our first time using Rover and because of how awesome Sarah is we will be contacting her again! Thank you so much!!”

From energetic walks and playtime to calm cuddles and gentle care, I have lots of love, patience, and attention to give. Your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness always come first—and I can’t wait to meet your pup! 🐶💛 I'm currently working part-time Monday-Friday. I'm available every afternoon and weekends. If your fur baby can be in a kennel, or fenced in area inside the home for 1/2 day, then I would be available any day of the week. your home or mine, I can insure safety and love of your fur baby. My dogs have full roam of my home, I have indoor fencing if/when needed, take them on lots of walks and they have lots of toys available. Though I don't have any formal training, I love to teach them new tricks. I can provide the same kind of care I would want for my dogs.

“We had a last-minute schedule switch, and I was out of town. She was so flexible, definitely at the top of our list.”

About: I have taken care of many many dogs throughout my high school years in my hometown. Now that I have moved to a new city I need some more animals to hangout with! I would love to walk, feed, and hangout! I currently am a registered nurse working 3 12 hour shifts a week, but don’t worry I will still have plenty of time for your dogs!! I will not ever take a booking that does not work! My place is available and I am willing to travel to clients home and pet parks in the surrounding areas. I have no animas at my apartment right now!

About: I have a strong compassion for the well-being of every animal I care for. Growing up around animals and spending some time around animal shelters has instilled in me a unique understanding and dedication. I will go the extra mile to ensure your furry friend lives a happy, fulfilling life while in my care, providing not just a service, but genuine love and attention. As a college athlete at Utah State, I'm in Utah for the summer to work on training, which actually makes pet care a perfect fit for my routine! I have availability most weekday afternoons and potentially some mornings, allowing plenty of time for walks, playtime, and ensuring your pet gets the attention they deserve. Weekends are also an option if needed. Being away for college has made me miss having my own furry friends so I would love to offer my love to yours! No matter if it's just a quick walk, a pop-in visit, or more, your pet will be my number one priority. I've been around animals for years, and want your pet to feel safe, happy, and totally loved.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 9. I’ve owned a small teddy bear dog who is turning 8 this year. I also have dogsat for my neighbors with dogs of all sizes, from Shih Tzus to Bernese Mountain dogs. My schedule is very flexible during summer. I am almost always available to take dogs on a walk or take them out, but stay at home visits take a bit more scheduling. I will crate your dog or let them roam free depending on your preference. I can also prepare wet or dry food for your pets meal times as well as take them on routinely walks during their scheduled time.

“Moriah is caring, communicative, and dependable . She sends updates via text, sends the cutest pictures, and I live her video snippets. Being away for 12 hour shifts can be stressful and worrisome. Knowing Moriah is there to care for my boy helps alleviate that. I trust that he is in safe, capable hands. Thank you, Moriah for being there for Hershel.”
