Brie was fantastic and lovingly took care of our two cats! She went the extra mile and we would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable cat sitter.

Travis & Danielle were truly fantastic! They respond Des quickly and took great care of Ingrid. I am so happy I found them and look forward to using them again to help care for my pup dying weekend getaways.

We could not have asked for a better pet sitter for Walter while we were away. Megan went above and beyond during every drop-in visit to make Walter and us feel comfortable. She made sure he was fed and cared for and also gave him genuine attention, playtime, and affection. We received thoughtful updates and photos that gave us so much peace of mind on vacation. It was obvious how much she truly cares about animals, and Walter absolutely adored her. We will absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!

About: I've been surrounded by dogs my entire life and truly can't imagine a home without them. My passion for caring for animals led me to start pet sitting during the COVID pandemic, and what began as a way to help friends and neighbors quickly grew into something I absolutely loved. Over the years, I've cared for pets with all kinds of personalities, needs, and routines. My experience includes overnight boarding, long-term stays, doggy daycare, drop-in visits, daily walks, grooming and bathing, and caring for recurring clients who became like family. I'm also comfortable administering medications and following any special instructions needed to keep your pet happy, healthy, and comfortable. A few years ago, I stepped away from pet sitting to focus on one of my children's health needs. Now that life has settled down, I've been excited to return to something I've genuinely missed—spending time with animals and helping pet owners have peace of mind while they're away. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. Whether your dog loves long walks, endless fetch sessions, cozy couch cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I'll make sure they receive the same love, attention, and care that I would give my own pets. I believe communication is key, so you can expect plenty of updates, photos, and check-ins while your pet is in my care. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family members! ❤️🐶 I just moved back up to cedar rapids and I am currently a PRN CNA where i choose the hours i would like to work and i also am a Wedding Coodinator on some weekends out of the year. My schedule is very open and flexible to whatever your needs are! I do live in a house now and while i dont have a fenced in yard, I live in a community where its safe to walk around and there are plenty of dog parks near by!

Erin was amazing with our dog! She was extremely responsive and helped us with any questions we had for her! She also was willing to go the extra mile and travel a bit farther than other potential sitters. I will definitely hire her again and recommend Erin to others in need of a doggo sitter.

About: I have owned pets my whole life. My two Bernese Mountain Dogs both recently passed and I would love to care for your pets as I get over their loss. If you are requesting house sitting M-F please be aware that I work full time days so it's basically just drop-ins and my house sitting does not include sleeping overnight at your home. I am not currently offering in-home pet care at my residence. Will update if this changes in the future. No pricing has been provided for this particular service.

About: Dogs have been part of my life since childhood, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’ve owned and cared for both small and large breeds, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and care needs. I spent years volunteering with All Breed Rescue & Training in Colorado, where I gained experience supporting rescued dogs. For a year, I traveled across the country providing in-home pet care through TrustedHousesitters, staying with pets in exchange for room and board. This allowed me to care for dogs in many different homes, routines, and regions—learning how important consistency, communication, and trust are when owners are away. Today, I share my home with my own small dog, so I understand firsthand how much your pet means to you. Whether your dog needs playtime, structured walks, companionship, or just a calm and reliable presence, I treat every animal like they’re part of my family. I currently work remotely from home and have a flexible schedule. I am available for drop in visits and walks in the middle of the day and check in on your baby. I treat every dog like my own but also respect every dog's individual needs. Whatever approach or structure is needed to make your pet happy, I am happy to follow.

About: I’ve had a dog in my life since the day I was born. I love to spend time with dogs by going for walks or car rides (if the owner allows it of course!) I have a cat and a dog of my own that I care for daily. All the usuals like feeding, letting outside, cleaning the litter box, but I also love to take my dog for walks and car rides or play with her in the back yard. I have so much fun playing with my cat and just giving him love! I’m usually very good about being able to let dogs out every couple of hours and love to hang out for a while to keep your pets company while you’re away!

About: I've had animals in my family since I was a kid so I am very familiar and comfortable around all sorts of animals. I have cared for dogs of all sizes. Such as Shia tzus, Golden Retrievers, Australian Shepards, and German Shepards.I have experience giving a cat insulin and providing medicine day and night to both dogs and cats. I have taken care of puppies and older dogs. I have stayed the night at friend's houses when pet sitting and I have no fears of any kind of animal. I am currently not working so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I do play pickleball about 5 times a week and workout but those are activities that can be moved around to best fit your schedule. Pickleball is only about 3 hours of my day so it won't interfere with any pet duties I may have. In my home we use a company called Halo to keep my dog in my lawn so I am familiar with electric fences its technology. I always stay outside when letting my dog out for the bathroom and know how to work a leash when talking them on walks. I clean litter boxes and pick up poop. I have experience taking care of pets in their home but since I have animals of my own and no fence, I will not be available to take care of pets in my home.

About: I live on a farm back home & have over a decade of animal care of all kinds! I have many farm cats and two dogs at home, as well as two cats that live with me! I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes & would love to spend time with your best friend! I would especially love to hang out with dogs as I don’t want to get my own until I can give them a fenced in yard:) My boyfriend Gabe also helps out with the pet care! I am pretty free all summer & I can give as much or as little attention as your pet requires! I’m available to do random walks throughout the day or stay full time at your residence to give 24/7 care to your pet. I would like to follow your routine as much as possible, so honestly whatever you do with your pet I will copy! It’s important to keep their routines from changing frequently!

About: I love all dogs no matter the size! I have a mini golden doodle myself and I have been passionate about taking care of dogs ever since! I work in the mornings so afternoons and evenings would be best! I do have some weekends off so I would be able to walk them then also! I will most likely not board dogs but if I had to I do have the space at my apartment but unfortunately no yard for them to run around.

Cheryl was great! I contacted her when someone else was suppose to check in Charli and asked her very last min if she could run over and make sure everything was ok with her and take her out if needed. She was happy to do it. She let me know when she let her out and when she left. Would recommend her and hope to be able to have her take care of Charli again.
