Dog Sitting in Altoona

“Would highly recommend Carissa. Very sweet and great with our dogs. Our dogs have never been left with anyone besides family. She stayed in contact with me the entire time we were gone. I was able to enjoy my trip knowing our dogs were in caring hands.”

About: Hi, I’m Nadia, I’m 26 and I own 2 dogs. I live in Des Moines! I love dogs and all animals! I can let your dog out to potty any number of times a day or I am comfortable staying in your house if you need someone as an overnight sitter. My availability is pretty open even on holidays and I’m willing to travel as well within 10-20 miles! I also would love to walk your dog and or check up on your dog as many times a day as needed. I work as a vet tech, so i also have a lot of dog experience! I’d love to set up a time to meet your dog before hand! I am currently working full time, but I do have time over my lunch/ before/after work. I also only work 4 days a week. I I have a fenced in yard with 2 friendly dogs. I can kennel your dog, or they are free to roam the house while I am gone.

“Laura was great! I was totally comfortable knowing that Laura was watching after my cat. It is clear Laura is caring and compassionate about animals, and has a great history looking out for them. I could not have asked for a better experience. Thanks Laura!!!”

About: Since I was young, I was always surrounded by cats and dogs. My parents took part in a foster program so I got to experience helping the rehabilitation of four separate dogs. I grew up with dogs of all shapes and sizes, with accompanying temperaments. My parents recently got an American Bulldog puppy, Minnie, and I helped almost daily with any tasks they needed. I also have experience with senior dogs as my grandparents took an overseas vacation and I looked after their 12 year old Golden doodle, Dexter. I have also been around cats my entire life and currently have a senior cat named Scarlett. My previous cat, Little Foot, was diagnosed in his later years with diabetes. While attending college I needed to give him insulin shots twice a day at specific times for two years. I am currently in-between jobs so my schedule is completely open for any time/day. This is subject to change when I find full time employment. I am unfortunately unable to accommodate additional animals in my own home, however, I am willing to travel and accommodate the needs of the owners.

“Wonderful servive, on time, very thorough and would love communication!! Definitely will use Hannah again! Thank you!”

About: We know how important good pet care is and are happy to provide what you need for your furry family member! We offer a large fenced yard with supervised play, photo and message updates throughout the stay, and frequent potty breaks. We will love your pet like our own! Currently working a flexible, varied schedule. Between the two of us, we have daytime availability most days. At least one of us is almost always home so your pet won’t be alone often! Let’s chat to see if we are a good fit for each other! We have a LARGE fenced in yard, two teenagers who also love animals, and a very pet-friendly home.

About: As an experienced pet sitter, I am dedicated to providing reliable, compassionate care for pets of all ages and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. From feeding, walking, and playtime to administering medications and maintaining routines, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their furry family members are receiving attentive, responsible, and personalized care in a stress-free environment I work Monday- Thursday so that allows me to have plenty of time at home with animals on the weekends to give them the time and attention they need. I have a very nice neighborhood with walking paths to make sure animals are getting the exercise and time they need to play around outside.

About: I've always had dogs in my life. At every stage of my life I've been a dog lover. My current dog was a foster fail and i love to host other pups for a day or a few nights. I currently have a very flexible schedule. I will be available most days whenever needed. I can make arrangements if there is a schedule conflict. I have a fenced in yard. We would go on daily walks in the neighborhood or to the dog park. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and we treat our dogs like family.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and genuinely love being around animals. I’ve cared for my own dogs as well as pets for friends and family, so I’m comfortable with a variety of personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I’m home most of the time, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and consistent care throughout the day. My experience includes daily walks, trips to the dog park, playtime in the backyard, feeding routines, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether that means extra exercise, lots of affection, or a calm, relaxed environment. You can trust that your pet will be treated like part of the family while they’re in my care. I have a very flexible schedule and am home most of the time, which allows me to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, drop-ins, and walks, including weekdays and weekends. Because I’m home often, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods, and I can easily adjust to their normal routine, whether that’s frequent potty breaks, regular walks, or extra playtime. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and secure environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I have two dogs of my own, a Beagle/Heeler and a teacup Yorkie. I always take the time to understand each pet’s routine, behavior, and any special needs to ensure they receive personalized care. I’m attentive, patient, and keep a close eye on pets at all times, whether we’re indoors, outside, or on walks. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away.

“Kristy did a fantastic job, I couldn't have asked for anyone better to check in on my cats and make them feel comfortable. She sent pictures and they looked very happy with her. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars!”

About: I have had a dog for many years and would do anything to just play and be with one again. My Rosie was my baby so I understand your worry. I randomly have weeks off at a time with my construction job. Perfect for this job. And in all honesty would be a joy for me Rosie was always so healthy because she ate regularly at a routine time and she never missed a dog walk. I loved the excuse of a dog walk to go walk somewhere scenic

About: Responsible, trustworthy, and reliable pet sitter experienced with puppies, cats, and dogs of all sizes.

I’m available before 9 a.m. and after 4 p.m. on weekdays, plus flexible availability on many weekends. I provide attentive, loving care in clients’ homes by following routines, giving exercise, feeding, playtime, companionship, medication, and regular updates for a peace of mind.

About: Hey there! I am an animal lover to the core. Let me be your pet's new best friend while you are away! I recently moved back to the Midwest to be closer to family, about two years ago. I was traveling constantly for work, but am now full time work from home. When I lived in another state for work, I did pet care as a part time job with private clients weekly. I grew to absolutely love it and would love to get established back in Wisconsin. I grew up with dogs, cats, and cows my entire life - being raised on a farm. I am the type of person who can’t stop without petting a dog whenever I see one! Providing companionship to your pet is my favorite thing to do. We can go on walks, eat food, and watch the latest Hulu show together! Your fur baby is welcome to sleep with me, on the floor, or in any bed or crate you bring. My two rescue cats absolutely LOVE other animals, so there is no worry there. They are so curious and eventually become besties! Since I am work from home full time now, so I am extremely flexible and they will have constant attention. I do live in an apartment, BUT, I am right next to the walking trail in River Prairie (the loop). I would be more than happy to go on as many walks as needed, and enjoy some sunshine with your fur baby! So do not worry, they can be outside as much or little as you’d like. I am open to care of all animals, all sizes, and all ages. If wanted, I visit my family farm quite often where we have extensive yard and land to run on. It is 100% an option for me to take your pet there if you want them to have some extra smells, especially if they stay long term with me. I’m extremely flexible and want you to not have to worry! While I traveled full time for work in the past, constant updates on my animals back home was crucial to me. I will provide as much or little communication you’d like. I’m here to meet you and your pet where you’d like and keep being away from them stress free. I promise they are in such caring hands! I work from home most days and go on daily walks myself! I would love to have a companion along with me to help make my place less lonely! During the weekends I can give even extra attention! I have access to the loop walk near River Prairie where i can take your pet for a potty break or for a walk! Depending how far they like to go - I can do the full three miles with them, or cut it shorter! I will be here with them to provide food, water, and care. Your pet will be my number 1 priority while I am with them!

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life! I’ve also had a few friends and family rely on me to let their pups outside, go for walks, or just have a little hangout time while their owners are away :) I do not currently have any pets of my own and I recently moved out of my parents home, but I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life! I care for every pet with intention, patience, and attention to their individual needs. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, comfort level, and preferences, so I take the time to learn what makes each pet feel safe, and cared for. Whether that means sticking closely to feeding and exercise schedules, providing extra playtime and enrichment, or offering gentle companionship, I tailor my care to each pet's unique needs. My goal is to create a positive, stress-free experience for both pets and their owners, treating every animal as if they were my own.

“Awesome pet sitter! Great communication, very nice. Thank you!”

About: I bring a calm, friendly presence that helps pets feel safe and relaxed while their people are away. I’ve grown up with animals and currently care for a few clients’ pets in Eau Claire — including a 3-week stay with multiple pets. I know how important routines are, and I pride myself on clear communication, clean homes, and happy tails. Whether it’s a quick walk or a full house sit, I’ll follow your instructions to the letter and treat your pets like my own. I’m flexible, detail-oriented, and truly love getting to know each animal’s personality. My goal is always to create a stress-free experience — for both you and your furry family. Pet care can fit seamlessly into my routine. I currently bartend and this allows for more flexibility and available for walks, drop-ins, daycare, or house sitting throughout the week — your pet’s needs come first in my day! I have no pets at my home so my casa is your pets casa with no interference. At my 8 plex building there is a much area to run around if they can be off leash otherwise the area is great to walk for potty breaks at anytime. I live in a safe, quiet and less trafficked area which will be great for walks!

“Nicole did a wonderful job taking care of my older cat! Very reliable and would highly recommend her as a sitter!”
