“Christina did great with my dogs, went above and beyond caring for them, and was extremely accommodating to me and my schedule upon arrival. I would recommend her services for your pet and definitely would use her services again in the future.”
“They did a great job with Gracie and Baylor! We got fun photo’s while we were away and our dogs were happy, clean (and very tired from playing) when we picked them up. I can tell they were cared for very well, which me and my family appreciated VERY much! I would not hesitate to use their services. We already plan to use them again!!”
“Kayla was great to work with. She was efficient and organized. It’s clear our little guy received great care with her. We will totally contact Kayla again if we need a sitter! She seems to have a true heart for animals!!”
About: I have trained and owned animals my whole life. I graduated with a veterinary assistant degree from western Iowa tech in Sioux city Iowa. Animals are my world and I love working and hanging out with them daily. I own a dog and 2 cats and love to cuddle them and train them so they can become and live their best life possible. I can give all my animals baths, exercise, positive reinforcement and love anytime they need it. I have a huge back yard and love to play with them outside too.
“Lindsay and her family sent pictures of Addie each day in their care. She responded quickly to my texts and my request to pick up Addie a few hours earlier than on original booking. Addie returned home happy and well cared for.”
“Coco had a blast staying with Shelly! She was so accommodating with my schedule and I felt completely comfortable leaving my pet in her care. 10 out of 10 :)”
“Kelley is far and away the best dog sitter I’ve ever had. I left my dog with her for a long weekend and had absolutely no worries that he was safe and happy! I appreciated the updates and pictures from Kelley throughout, and it was clear my dog was so happy! I highly recommend Kelley, she is great and genuinely loves dogs.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for the last 6 years. I have 3 of my own. I look forward to meeting and loving on your pups! I work full time at home, and have flexibility when needed. I have evenings free to take your dog for a walk, play, and snuggle! I have a fenced in backyard with 3 other dogs who love to play. I cater to their needs and will do the same for your dog.
About: I love animals as if they are my own kids. I can promise you that your pet/pets will be safe with me and will love me. I work full time M-F but can fit schedule into mine. Let’s give it a go. If it doesn’t work I am sure we can figure something out. I don’t currently have pets of my own so I would have to use your kennel but I do have a big back yard. They will have fun.
“Kali is wonderful. She loves my dog as her own and Ula had a great time. She sent photos and video. Very responsible sitter! I hope to make use of her services again soon! Highly recommend!”
“Cailey was great with our dogs and kept us updated when we were out of town. She and her husband were friendly and very easy to work with.”
“Morgan was GREAT!!! Unfortunately, our 2 Chihuahuas aren't used to having their family out of town and gave Morgan a hard time. :) She was such a trooper!! She stayed over and endured their barking and was able to warm them up enough to take treats from her hand. I would recommend Morgan because she was reliable, attentive, consistent, and cleaned the house up perfectly. I feel bad that our dogs weren't very friendly but it was nice knowing they were in great hands while we were gone!! Thanks, Morgan. :)”
About: I have experience working with pets coming from broken homes and showing them how to be a dog again! Dogs deserve to always be loved! I work during the week around 8 hours. The rest of my time is spent with my own fur babies, loving and playing with them! I have a fenced in yard that provides lots of room for playing and running with two dogs of my own to keep them company.
About: Hi! My name is Veronica. I'm 27 years old and I LOVE animals. I live in a pet friendly townhome community with a backyard area and it's only a few blocks away from the city dog park! :) Some things about me: I’m married and have two beautiful children that share the same love for animals that I do! I enjoy going on walks, watching movies and cuddling all fur babies! I always have treats on hand and I am so excited to be blessed enough to watch any of your precious little fur babies. I know leaving them in someone else's care can be hard, but I'm here to help make that worry a little less! :) I work 8:30-5 but my husband is home for 3 hours of the day between 11:30-3! They would never be without someone for more than 3 hours. I have a yard big enough to play fetch for hours. I’m also two blocks away from the city dog park! I can easily crate your dog if needed.
About: I have owned cats and dogs for 3 years. My daughter has also walked neighbors and friends dogs and loves to help out. Your pet will get all of the love, cuddles, and walks over here. I am home most days and work part time in the evening, in which my partner and my 14 year old are both home to help take care of any animals, walking, feeding, or the house in general. I have one small playful dog, and two friendly cats. I can easily crate train if needed. My yard is not fenced in but I have a patio that leads to a big grassy field for easy walking. There is also a fenced in dog park at our property that we like to utilize for playing time.
