Michael
Downtown Des Moines, Des Moines
Retired couple looking for long term House/Cat Sitting anywhere in the World
Michael and Angela were nothing short of wonderful. They took inmaculate care of Oreo (our cat), our two fish (which Michael called “The Twins”), our home and the outdoor plants and deck. We could not have asked for better sitters. They sent regular text messages about the house and pets with pictures of the mail we received that was not junk mail. In addition to being good caretakers, they were super nice people and fun to know. We would have them return in a heart beat. What a wonderful couple!

Responsible, Animal-Loving, Traveller
Tara and Joshua were amazing pet sitters! Because of scheduling we sadly missed meeting them in person but they were very communicative before and throughout the sit. Would highly recommend them staying to take care of your pet!
KC
Downtown Des Moines, Des Moines
Treating your fur family and home like our own
KC and Noah were gracious enough to come sit for me again on short notice. I absolutely cannot recommend them enough, both because they take such good care of my pup and because they honestly leave the house cleaner than they found it!
Cat
Downtown Des Moines, Des Moines
I can help you!
This was the second time we’ve had Cat stay at our house to care for our pup Freddie and cat Wilma and it was a delight once again! We really enjoy communicating with Cat - we feel like she’s a friend at this point! Like last time, she kept us updated (even on not-so-fun topics like dog poop 😂) and really paid attention to and cared for our animals. She went out of her way to take Freddie on a few adventures like the beach and a walking trail which was fun to see. We came home to two very content pets and a spotless home. We trust her completely and hope to have her stay again! If you’re lucky enough to have Cat sit, we strongly recommend!

Experienced dog owners/sitters
Mary and Peter were amazing, they were on top of our pup’s care and left our place very tidy. Thank you both!
Alice
Downtown Des Moines, Des Moines
Tender-Hearted Semi-Retired Professional Seeks Working Retreat With Your Pets
I selected Alice based on a Zoom 'interview'. She was intelligent, interesting and had a good sense of humour. She arrived the day before I left to come to my condo so I could show her around, in person. I found that very thoughtful. During my trip, Alice sent updates with cute stories and pictures. She prepared for my arrival by changing sheets, towels and thoroughly cleaning everything. My cats were relaxed and content. During the brief time I spent with Alice I sensed her good nature and her deep, interesting personality. She is someone with whom I could easily be friends.
Teresa
Downtown Des Moines, Des Moines
Responsible pet sitter that will treat them like family.
We went on a trip half way around the world. It was so nice to know Teresa was in our home taking care of our 3 dogs (German Shephard, Golden Retriever and King Charles Cavalier) and my numerous plants inside and out. We were only available with email so with Teresa in charge I had not worries. She left the house in great order. I will continue to use Teresa in the future and would highly recommend her as your sitter for your next trip.
Missy
Downtown Des Moines, Des Moines
Reliable and loving pet-sitter
Missy was a wonderful house/cat sitter. Don't hesitate to select Missy. She's very friendly and personable. The cats took to her immediately. She took wonderful care of my cats and frequently sent me pictures, which I really appreciated. The house was spotless when I returned, which was a delight. Missy was quite flexible when a car problem delayed my departure for a day. I would highly recommend Missy.
McKenzie
Downtown Des Moines, Des Moines
Professional pet sitting family that will give your pet the love they deserve!
McKenzie, Mike and their three kids flew in from Iowa to sit for us. McKenzie's friend in Sacramento just had a baby, so it was a win-win. From our first Facetime, I felt very comfortable and confident that my cats and home were going to be in good care. Once they arrived, I got daily pictures and updates. The kids played with the cats and made friends with other children on the street. All my neighbors thought they were a lovely family. The house was left clean with a nice note, flowers and donuts. I would definitely recommend McKenzie and her family and hope they will come stay again in the future.
Lori
Downtown Des Moines, Des Moines
A Warm Hello to Pet Owners! I have a big heart for our animal friends.
Where are the 10 stars? Lori is a 10 star person, pet sitter and house sitter. She is an extraordinary woman - caring, sensitive, responsible and an excellent communicator. We have had house sitters before but none can compare - she set a high bar. Our dog was loved while we were gone and well cared for. Frankie put Lori through her paces by escaping one evening during a storm and chasing neighboring cows who had gotten through their fence back to their home. Lori handled all of the chaos with calmness. The house was just as we had left it, plants and gardens cared for and a happy dog. We will definitely call on her again - in fact we will only call her for future house sits. She’s a sweet keeper.
Reviews from Dog Owners

Sue and Richard were greeted enthusiastically by the dogs ! They sent me pics of the dogs having a good time on the beach . Which is always reassuring. I can recommend them as dog sitters and they arrived on time and were packed up when I got back
Kara
Denise was by far the best pet sitter we have ever had! She watched our two pups while we were gone for 3 weeks and took amazing care of our dogs and home. She took the time to ask questions and make sure she understood each dog’s needs as well as how to take the best care of our house before we left. She sent videos everyday updating us on how the pups were doing. We were so happy to see how much quality time she was spending with them and how much they loved her. Our dogs were so sad to see her leave and we can’t wait to have her back. Denise made sure that the house was in perfect condition when she left and treated our home as if it were her own. If you are looking for a pet sitter, look no further. Highly recommend Denise!

Janet and Bob were great to our pups and our home! They were our first sitters so we weren’t really sure what we were getting into, but they made it an awesome experience! They are coming back to stay with our dogs again in August. Definitely trust them with your fur babies!! 🐾🐶
Michelle
Brian was a wonderful sitter for our 11 year old dog and also took great care of our home. He sent me pictures every day and let me know how Macklin was doing which always helps ease my mind. Our home was clean and tidy when we returned and everything in its place. I'd recommend Brian to anyone looking for excellent care by a friendly person!
Nicole
We’re so grateful for the love and care Vanessa gave our two dogs while we were traveling for a weekend. During our trip, she sent us pictures and our dogs always looked happy and at ease. Even during a thunderstorm she cared for our scared older dog who unfortunately had a little accident, and she cleaned up with no complaint. We didn’t have to worry at all which let us truly enjoy our weekend away knowing our dogs were in the best hands! Vanessa was clean and tidy. We returned home to a neat house and happy pups! She even did the laundry without us asking. We would highly recommend Vanessa as a sitter for anyone. Thank you so much!!
Patti
Cleo is a very lucky puppy dog to have been cared for by Matt & Lisa! We’ve had quite a few sitters over the last 2 years with TH, and I have no reservations saying that they were the best! First, communication was fabulous from the start. They put me at ease before they ever got here. Throughout the sit, there were regular updates and pictures. They were so very attentive to Cleo, and even ventured out with her on trail walks (Cleo’s favorite thing in the world). They handled her medications with no problem. It was obvious that my nervous pup was at ease and loved them, as she ended up sleeping with them! I’d have Matt & Lisa again in a heartbeat, and would recommend to anybody!
Julia
Ryan was one of our best sitters we’ve had! Ryan is so lovely to chat with and we looked forward to meeting him before our trip. He was organized and communicated his plans clearly with us and was easy to communicate with while we were away. Our dog took to him immediately and so we knew we could relax while away. Our home was in great shape when we returned and it was nice to get a debrief from him as well. We’d love to have Ryan back anytime, and so would Steve (our dog)!

Robert and Biljana are absolutely the best sitters you could ever get. We have used them several times already. They have always arrived at the stated date and time. They are eager to receive any and all instructions and will follow them as stated. They keep us informed almost every day on our dogs and send pictures regularly. They always go above and beyond their duties. Robert has fixed a few things around the house without being asked. They buy things for our dogs and have even trained our dogs on certain issues. They made a concerted effort to get to know the neighbors and talked up our dogs to all of them. They will be discreet with any and all information given. We really appreciated all their hard work and effort. They have certainly elevated the bar for the next sitters. Biljana took very good care of our plants and spoiled our dogs to excess. They now expect the same from us!! We will welcome them back anytime. Hiring them is a decision that will not be regretted.
Jane
Piper was a wonderful sitter and I would definitely have her come again. My dog .Winston loved her and was very happy while I was gone. When I returned home everything was orderly and clean, she changed her bed and washed all the towels. I totallly recommend Piper to sit at your home.
Linda
Christina handled Bridie's first-ever time without us perfectly. We returned after 5 days to a happy, well-cared for and well-exercised pup --- and an emaculate house. Christina knows dogs and helped us with a few Bridie issues. We got photos and some updates while away. She was flexible and very sensitive to all of our needs. Chrisrina is the best sitter that we have ever had.
