Pet Sitting in West Des Moines

About: I love dedicating time to pets giving them care, love and fun time. I want to give them the comfort of a warm, attentive and loving presence. I am a stay-at-home student and among other personal activities, I am able to dedicate myself full-time to this service both weekdays and weekends, day and night. I live with my husband and my 14-year-old stepson and we are all pet lovers! Although we may all enjoy the companionship of your pet(s), you can have peace of mind that pet(s) will be cared for 100% by me! I live in an apartment building with lots of comfortable space, safe, with windows screens. There is a dog park in the premises, there are many trails around that we can walk and have fun. Our view is to a beautiful green area where many birds come around to hang out and sing.

“Our pup absolutely loved Libby! It was our first time leaving our dog and Libby was the best! She made us feel so much better during our trip to know that someone was there taking such good care of our dog. Libby followed care instructions perfectly and gave so much love and playtime to our dog. She was prompt and gave the best updates with the cutest pictures! Highly recommend her! Thank you Libby!”

“She did a very great job taking care of my babies. She actually made another visit in between times so they wasn't inside to long. Highly recommend her. I'd definitely have her do it again if she is available. Great job”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities! Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me for years to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while away. I can’t have a dog of my own right now, so getting to spend time caring for other people’s pets genuinely makes me so happy. I’ll always treat your pet with lots of love, attention, patience, and care while making sure you feel updated and comfortable too. I currently work from home Monday through Friday, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention! I’m also available in the evenings and on weekends, so pet care fits very naturally into my routine. As someone who spends a lot of time working from home, I genuinely enjoy getting out of the house and spending time with animals!! I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and being inside your home. I always aim to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I am very attentive to schedules and routines, plus value communication and I would love to send you so many pictures of your pets while you’re away!

“Shelly did an awesome job of taking care of our kitties while we were away. Felix was very happy to get outside every morning, and Shelly made sure everything was taken care of while we were gone. Food, litter boxes, and most importantly the kitties like having company, they are very social! Thanks so much Shelly, we will have you back again next trip for sure! Felix and Maggie say thanks! Mark & Becky”

“Zaira helped me out with a short notice request to take care of my cat, Ernestine. Prompt and professional in her responses to confirm...checked in and out each visit with pictures...as well as provided a complete report card of Ernestine each day. Would definitely reserve with Zaira, again!”

Marchelle G.

“Jessica did a great job with our dogs! They love to give kisses and play ball and she accommodated that well. Will definitely be using Jessica again!”

Bret B.

“Heidi was so wonderful to work with! She was great at communicating and while we were gone, our heater breaker flipped off and she quickly helped identify it and fix it. Our cat Pearl was well cared for while we were away and we would gladly book Heidi again!”

About: I have had dogs since the moment I was born and worked as a vet assistant for almost 3 years during my undergraduate years. I have experience with all sizes of dogs- and temperaments. I can administer medications as well! I currently work full-time but have flexibility to stop by during my lunch break to let pets out, give them fresh water, or go for a quick walk. This means your pet doesn’t have to wait all day until you get home! When I care for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal as possible. I: Follow your pet’s usual feeding, walk, and medication schedule. Offer potty breaks or walks (including during my lunch break if mid-day care is needed). Spend quality time playing, brushing, or just keeping them company. Make sure the home stays secure by locking doors, bringing in mail, etc. Share updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.

“Dawn is outstanding! We were nervous to let someone into our home to check on our two kitties each day during our two-week vacation. Dawn made the entire process easy and comforting from beginning to end. After the meet and great, we knew our kitties were in good hands. She provided detailed and personalized updates each day and sent photos. While our cats are typically apprehensive of strangers, Dawn took the time to develop a connection with both of them, adjusting food requirements, brushing and playing with them. She even watered the house plants for us. We never worried for a minute while away. We feel very fortunate to have found Dawn and will certainly recommend her to our family and friends, Thank you, Dawn!!”

John T.

“Talia was so great and easy to work with. She offered to meet our cat before our scheduled appointments, and he took to her so quickly! She was great with communication and left us plenty of photos. We are excited to use her again in the future!”

About: I have taken care of dogs of all sizes small to extra large as well as cats and even some exotic pets. I have been the go to sitter for my friends and family every time they go on vacation. I love caring for animals and can’t wait to help you with yours. I am experienced with animals- puppies to elderly dogs, kittens to elderly cats. I homeschool my kids so I have a very flexible schedule and can work with what you need. I mostly have open afternoons and Friday through the weekend. While I’m taking care of your pet I will do all I can to assure they are taken care of physically as well as emotionally offering love, play and exercise, whatever it is they need that day. Every pet is different and I will work with you to ensure they are getting what they need from me, walks, pets or play.

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.

“Mary always does an amazing job taking care of my demanding little cat! Great communication, high-quality care and a true rapport with animals”
