“Jessica was great! She took time out of her night to come visit Koda the night before she walked him and see how they did with each other! She was also a great walker and was willing to just hang out with him outside of his kennel and play with his toys! We will definitely be going back to Jessica again!”


“Cory was a fantastic walker and play buddy for Koda! He was willing to come and meet koda ahead of time and get to know him! We will definitely use Cory again!”

“I was able to book Troy on short notice, which was very helpful. He was prompt, friendly, and my dog was instantly comfortable with him. I’d definitely recommend Troy and plan to book him again in the future!”
About: Caring for people and pets comes naturally to me. I worked in nursing for several years before leaving to care for my father full time.between that and being a mom giving love and care comes easy. I have 3 dogs of my own, all of which are friendly and love a bit of play time. I am a big believer in fresh air and exercise. Let's get those steps in for your 4 legged family member. I don't work a regular job, I care for my elderly father and do some side work here and there. So I am available for walking or drop in visits at a moments notice. I have a fenced in yard and food and treats at the ready. Many leashes and brushes and more. I have 3 dogs of my own that love to play with each other and yours too. I can also keep my dogs away if yours isn't socialized to others.
“I wish I could give even more of a tip (rover won't let me give more than 30%), but Monica did an amazing job today. My dog had an accident in the house and she cleaned it up even though she didn't have to. Words cannot describe how awesome Monica is. 12/10 would recommend to anyone.”

“Kassy is wonderful and was such a great help with my dog who was having an upset stomach on Kassy’s first day with her! I am so pleased with her, the cute photos she takes, and reports I receive after each visit. She is great!!”

“Nila loved going on a walk with Alexandra and was so happy afterwards! She was flexible even with our last minute request, great at communicating, and understood the differences in dog personalities and how to work with that. Definitely would recommend her!”

“Drew is wonderful!! So accommodating with my schedule, where my dog will be day-to-day, and super sweet with Yukon! Responsive, responsible, and friendly. Highly recommend!!”

“Brad has helped us walking our Mini American Shepherd for the last two weeks and on a previous engagement as well. He is timely, patient and cares for the dog in his charge with a high level of attention. We so appreciate his assistance and would call on him again any time. Highly recommend!”

“She was soo helpful and is so diligent!! Today I was so stuck and I totally wrote my whole calendar day down wrong. She was super flexible and was able to accommodate. I won’t do that often but I’m so grateful”

About: Hello! I’ve taken care of pets my whole life. I’d love to give your pet love, attention, walks, and treats! I am responsible, reliable, and tend to like all animals over most humans. 😀 My schedule is completely open and flexible! Your pet will be my main focus and priority. I’d love to get the opportunity to meet and care for your fur babies. I know how important it is to listen to the animals needs and dietary restrictions. I love playing with dogs in a fenced in yard, long walks with lots of sniffs, and cuddling/loving pets.
About: I’ve spent years caring for and training my own two dogs, so I understand that every pup has their own personality and needs. My experience working in a kennel gave me hands-on knowledge of dog behavior, group play, and handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Whether your dog is a playful puppy or a gentle senior, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for—just like my own. I’m currently attending graduate school in Des Moines, which gives me a flexible schedule to care for your pets throughout the week. I have time in the mornings, between classes, and in the evenings to walk, play with, and check in on your furry friends. Spending time with dogs is one of the best parts of my day, and I always make sure each pet gets the attention and care they deserve. My pets are definitely spoiled, and I’ll treat yours the same way! I live alone, so there’s plenty of space for your pet to relax and feel comfortable. I also live near several beautiful trails that are perfect for long walks and outdoor adventures. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and love—just like part of the family.
About: Throughout high school, I was asked to dog sit many times whether it was for coworkers, friends, family, or people who knew me from a friend! I'm used to taking dogs on walks and caring for them in their homes. We have always had a dog in the house as well, so I'm familiar with the needs that have to be fulfilled for dogs! I am a college student and taking classes at DMACC. Since I only attend one in-person class, I figured I'd like to get out of the house some way by dog sitting/walking! I have a job at a restaurant that I work at for 3 days a week, but I wanted to find another way to keep myself busy until I transfer to a university this fall. In the past, I have always gone to a client's house to care for their dog or dog walk. I live in an apartment and wouldn't be allowed to have and care for pets in my home.
About: We always had dogs growing up. I’ve had my own dog for 4 years. I love being around dogs and want to show yours as much love as I show my own. I work from home 2-3 days a week. I’m also available for overnight boarding depending on the night and weekends. Just ask if I’m available! I have a fenced in backyard. Your dog is welcome on beds and furniture. My house and property is very dog friendly for all types.
“Look no further for an amazing dog walker! From the moment I met her, it was clear that her focus was not on meeting me but getting to know my dog. Which is exactly what I want!! Can’t wait for future walks with her, and Mochi was smitten the moment she pet him.”
