Dog Walkers in Amana, IA

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, particularly giant breeds. I love all dogs and want to give them the best chance possible to be healthy and happy! My home has been a foster for many dogs at different times. Taking in dogs in need of medical care, puppies, female dogs going through heat before spay procedures, neglect cases and senior dogs. I’ve seen it all and will do whatever to provide a safe and comfortable place for you pet to relax and adjust. I am home full time with outings that are no more than 2-4 hours for drop in visit. We spend plenty of time snuggling and pulling out any and all of the toys. I have a fenced yard and a permanent crew that enjoy friends to play and nap with. Another bedroom is just for the dogs so if your dog is not crate trained they have their own bedrooms protected solo space for feeding or if for any reason I need to leave the home.

About: I have dog sat for everyone I know. I am the first person someone asks to dog sit. I provide lots of care, attention, and play for dogs. I enjoy walking and spending time with as many dogs as possible! My summer is very open! I have free time almost all of the time! I am studying for my boards that I will be taking soon this summer! I have a park and woods near my house that dogs seem to absolutely love! I live alone with no animals so all attention and focus will be on the doggie!

About: I have had dogs and cats since I was born. My parents share the same love for animals as I do, and I think I love them more honestly! I’ve dealt with losing a pet, and adding new additions to the family. In my eyes no breed of dog or cat is superior and I would love to meet all the pets I can!! I work part-time so I will put the days I am available into the schedule! On my days off I would be more than happy to take your dogs for walks or do drop in visits with dogs and cats! I also marked all days as available because my hours can be funky and I can sometimes work only 4 hour shifts. I take my dogs for walks frequently. They are a bit stubborn sometimes (especially my olde english) but after we get walking they love being outside! The summer heat gets to them both though, so I would love to get outside!

About: I have taken care of dogs, pigs, chickens, cats, birds and fish for my family and for friends. I also have a Persian senior cat at home :) I am currently unemployed so I am available most of the time other than taking care of my family. I am looking for check ins, I can feed, walk, play, etc. and clean up after animals. I don’t mind multiple animals at one time. I go on long walks every day now and need a partner! I love older animals as well as babies. I have come to raise kittens and puppies and help teach potty training and good manners. Tricks too.

About: Hey, it’s lovely to meet you! I’m Skylynn! But my friends call me Cielo :) From cuddly kittens to wise old pups, pets have been part of my world since I could walk! I’ve shared my life with dogs and cats through every stage—from zooming-around-the-house puppies to sweet seniors who just want a comfy nap buddy. But my care goes far beyond food bowls and leashes! I tailor walks and playtime to match each pet’s energy, keep a close eye on special diets, and gently handle medications and supplements when needed. I even handle brushing and nail trims to help your furry little fur ball feel their best! I’m all about making pets feel safe, loved, and happy! Whether they’re shy, spunky, cuddly, or curious, I tune into their emotional needs—offering play, snuggles, and calm companionship that makes them feel right at home. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me for years because I treat every pet like family—because to me, they are! And the love doesn’t stop at cats and dogs! I’ve also grown up around horses, cows, and reptiles, giving me a well-rounded understanding of animals big, small, and scaly! No matter who I’m caring for, I bring kindness, patience, and a whole lot of heart to every visit! (También hablo español :) I work part-time with mostly short morning shifts—so pet care fits perfectly into my day! I have plenty of time in the afternoons, evenings, and even weekends to give your four-legged-ball-of-joy the attention they deserve. Whether it’s a midday walk, dinner and snuggles, or a weekend playdate, I’ve got the time (and the love!) to spare. Caring for animals brings me so much joy—it never feels like “extra” work, just the best part of my day! 🐾💛 I choose to care for pets in their own home, because my #1 goal is to make everything feel just right—for both you and your fluffy buddy! I follow your instructions closely to keep routines familiar and stress-free. Whether it’s feeding schedules, walk times, favorite toys, or cozy sleeping spots, I make sure your pet feels safe, secure, and totally at ease! I treat your home with the same respect and care I give your pet. Clean, tidy, and trustworthy is the name of my game! I always double-check doors, gates, and anything safety-related to make sure your pet stays secure and happy while you’re away. You can count on regular updates (and cute photos, of course!) so you know your pet is in loving hands. Familiar smells, their own bed, and a loving sitter? That’s a recipe for tail wags and purrs all around!

About: I've personally owned animals my entire life. I've raised 3 dogs in the past and currently own qthat absolutely love other animals and people! I also have 3 cats that are all extremely friendly and love new things. I currently work at an animal shelter working with dogs, cats, small mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians. I have experience with friendly animals, reactive animals, and shy animals. I'm very skilled at giving medications as I have to do it daily for my job. My schedule is very flexible and I'm also good in medical cases with animals. I don't have a degree in veterinary sciences, but work with strange cases daily and have a close connection with vet techs. I'm excited to open my heart to new animals! I currently work part time in the mornings and can stop in before my shift to do a check in, potty breaks, and feeding. Once I'm off in the afternoon, I can do more check-ins and walks. In the afternoons, I can stick around longer to spend more time with them. I have experience with positive reinforcement and am also okay with using dog crates if the need is there. I'm experienced with different types of harnesses and collars as well and have worked with dogs with many different allergies.

About: My experience includes behavior modification, rehabilitation and foster care. Since I was my daughters age I have been pet sitting and working with animals and would like to share the experience I work at home everyday but Thursday. We are available for dog walking and live close to a park trail and we are looking for a family interaction. Crate services, roaming and family integrated home. We are able to walk your animals and provide check ins. I know how animals are part of the family.

About: I have experience with all ages and all sizes of dogs and cats. I grew up with cats and watched our neighbors dogs frequently when they were out of town. My grandparents had 2 Great Danes that I watched when they needed assistance and my fiancé has a heeler who I watch when he is at work. My favorite place is the dog park and enjoy taking my pup there whenever I can. I’m currently working part time as a nurse at Surgery Center Cedar Rapids. I am also a part time graduate school student so I am home studying when I’m not at work. Taking my dogs on walks and to the park is what I look forward to the most in my day and gives me a good excuse to take a break! I have a 2 year old blue heeler mix who loves other dogs and would love to meet yours! I live in a spacious home with a fenced in backyard and can easily crate your dog if needed. I live in a very walkable area with a couple of parks near by.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine dedication to each pet’s happiness and routine. I treat every dog as if they were my own, giving them all the love, attention, and playtime they deserve. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s long walks, cuddles, or just someone to keep them company, I go above and beyond to meet their unique needs and give you peace of mind. I am studying for my NCLEX currently to become an RN, so I am free anytime to take care of your dog. I will be dedicate my free time to making sure your dog stays happy and healthy! When I walk your dog, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always use secure, well-fitted leashes and harnesses, and I stay aware of our surroundings to avoid any potential hazards. I take the time to build trust with each dog, letting them get to know me at their own pace so they feel confident and relaxed on our walks. My calm and caring approach ensures your pup feels safe, loved, and excited for every adventure we take together.

“Payton is wonderful! She always spends a lot of time with Sully and gives an update on how the walk went. Highly recommend!”

About: I have had a dog almost all my life and they have always been a passion. This summer I got the opportunity to volunteer at a dog boarding facility and learned how to care for dogs from puppy to senior and aid in medications they might need. I also got to work with the trainer and can help teach basic commands to dogs. I work full time as a nursing assistant. I can’t have any more pets myself and I would take care of your pet as if it were my very own. I will take the pet for walks, depending on weather will determine the length as well as the pet. I would also be willing to wash the pet for the client and help out in any way I could with them.

“Robert is very nice and great with our dog Junior. He was easy to communicate with, timely, and even dried off our wet pup with his own sweatshirt! Would recommend without a doubt.”

About: I always had dogs and cats on my house! Currently have 2 great cats! We have a closed backyard for cats and dogs to play with! Anytime of the week works if I am not traveling for work. Cats and dogs are welcome overnight! Most of Weekends works for us and during the week only if I don't travel. Our cats are mainly indoor but they love to be at our back yard that is fully fenced. Same for dogs! Nothing they can be harmed with in our yard and or in house. Also, we do have 2 kids that love animals! Make sure your pet like kids.

“Miranda was amazing!! Our dog fell in love with her and had the best time while we were away! Awesome communication!”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and currently care for my own energetic 1-year-old pup. I’m experienced with all ages and love giving dogs the attention, care, and playtime they need. Your pet will be treated like family! As a bartender who mostly works nights, my mornings and afternoons are wide open — perfect for walks, playtime, and check-ins. I love being outside and walking, so spending that time with dogs makes it even better. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I enjoy giving each pup the attention they deserve. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on keeping them safe, happy, and comfortable. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible—walks, feeding times, play, and downtime. In my home, pets have a cozy, dog-friendly space with plenty of love and supervision (plus a playful pup to keep them company if they enjoy dog friends). In a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure their pet feels secure and cared for while you're away.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a child. I’ve always owned 1-3 dogs at a time. My dogs have all lived long lives, one even living to age 17, one 16, 14, etc. I currently have 2 dogs, ove (Reeva) is 3 years old and one (Izzy) is 1-1/2 years old. I have a great deal of experience taking care of senior pets(medications, injections, diapers, etc). My one pup had submissive urination that we have worked through and she doesn’t have any issues to speak of anymore. I’m no stranger to unique issues or quirks that may arise when working with animals. My current pups and I have completed many structured training classes and Reeva earned her Canine Good Citizen certificate. We have also taken an agility course to help build her confidence. I have been a volunteer for the Iowa Service Dog Program for 3 years. She and I are also a Certified Therapy Dog Team through ATD. I am part of a dog training club. Through this club I have met owners with the same training goals and a group of us have been meeting(with our pets) in pet friendly stores, parks & pet friendly patios to hone our pets training. I do love cats and have had many in my lifetime. The only reason I do not have cat(s) in my home now is because my husband is very allergic. I believe pets are family members and I personally treat mine like my children. You can feel confident that I will treat yours the same. I can drop in several times a day or once a day. You tell me what your pets needs are and I will meet or exceed those needs. My drop-in’s provide care for your fur baby; letting them out to potty, get some love and attention, playtime, food, medication…. whatever you and your pets needs may be. Of course, I will also provide updates and photos! A little extra will get your furry loved one a nice long walk. I do offer limited In-home boarding - Full boarding or day boarding. I will board one dog (prefer crate trained) in my home at a time. (I have made an exception and boarded “siblings”.) I am better able to provide individualized one-on-one care for your fur baby if I keep the numbers low. When I’ve committed to boarding your dog I do my best to stay home with them as much as I possibly can. (Limiting my time away from home.) This way I can provide extra attention, playtime, walks, pets, belly rubs, snuggle time, training and any other personalized care they may need. I do prefer crate trained, mainly for feeding time since I have 2 pups too, but that is not necessarily a deal breaker. I do have a questionnaire that I require be filled out so I can know your pet as well as possible. This aids in my providing the best care I can! I will be happy to provide updates and photos as much or as little as you’d like during their stay with me. They will go home with a report card telling you all about their stay. There is an additional fee for last minute requests for boarding or day boarding. You never have to worry when they are with me! 🐾

“Super fast at responding! Bea had a great time and loves her walks! Sent tons of pictures too!”

About: With lots of pets in the family, im proud to be the go-to sitter! I specialize in chihuahuas of all ages and disabled pets (amputees, deaf or blind), and I love the opportunity to care for unique or mixed breeds. I have experience training puppies and midlife dogs, and have owned and cared for senior pooches. No teeth? No problem! My off days leave me bored and the best way to remedy that is to play with some sweet critters. My Sunday morning workouts could use a running buddy! While we don't have a private yard, there is still lots of grassy areas and a larger field just a short walk from my apartment. My small rodents have made it a necessity to pet proof our home, meaning there's no worry of your furry friend getting into something they shouldn't. I'm always good to clean up accidents when they do happen and I'm very careful to adhere to special diets (the more detailed the better).

About: I have two mini goldendoodles who are my life. I've had them for over 6 years and they bring so much joy to my life! They love to play with other dogs and I'm always spoiling them. I've watched other pups before, giving them walks, spoiling them rotten. I'm very punctual and care for every dog like they're my own! Currently don’t have a full time job so I have availability all day! If you need a full sitter, they are more than happy to come to my house and spend time with my pups. I'm free after 5PM and on the weekends! I don't have a fenced in backyard but I do have two pups who can keep your baby entertained and wear them out! I give the best cuddles and love as it kills me to leave my pups with someone else so I get it! I can facetime whenever you'd like if it's an overnight stay, whatever makes you feel comfortable! :)
