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.

Dog Walks and the Des Moines Leash Rule
A 2015 Des Moines ordinance says a dog with its city license, when off its owner's property, must be on a leash or cord no longer than 6 feet and under the control of a person able to restrain it. Anyone the owner puts in charge of the dog counts, so a pet sitter walking it meets the rule. Under the same ordinance, a dog without its license counts as running loose, so keep the license current.
