What Sets Our Visits Apart
Care starts with listening, so visits are built around the routines and preferences of the person receiving care. After a gentle visit at home, we design a care plan, match a companion who fits their personality and pace, and keep the family in the loop as needs change. Our help is non-medical, focused on daily life at home.

Every dog and cat off its owner's property must be on a leash no longer than 6 feet, a rule in effect since May 20, 2025. The city's stated fine for an animal at large is $50 along with court costs. A walk with the dog can be part of pet sitting visits.
Ankeny licenses every dog and cat each calendar year. The city's 2026 form lists $25 for an unaltered pet and $15 for a spayed or neutered pet, with a $10 late fee after March 31. A rabies certificate is needed when the record on file has expired.
The State of Iowa lists the Altoona Townsend Community Center, 6615 NE 41st Street, as a group meal location for Polk County. To use it, contact Aging Resources of Central Iowa.
The city's FAQ says dogs six months or older are registered each year through the Polk County Auditor, including dogs inside Altoona. Ask the auditor for the current fee and form.
