Dog Walkers in Amana, IA

About: I understand the individuality of animals and how they need to be cared for differently. I am high energy so they’ll get a plenty of exercise and highly attentive to detail, so any special instructions will not be missed. I currently work 7-3 M-F. I am still available for house sitting on weekdays if you’re alright with pets being left alone about 8.5 hours on those days. I care for others’ pets and homes as if they were my own. I ensure pets are well exercised, cared for and feel loved in their owners’ absence.

“Auden has given walks to our dog, Mochi, over the last six months. She was a lifesaver after I had a baby in January and it was harder for me to have the time to walk Mochi, especially in the cold weather. Mochi especially loved going on walks in Hickory Hill Park with her. Thank you, Auden!”

“She helped us out while our normal walker was away for the week! She was so kind to our pup. She absolutely loved her!”

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 am a CNA working 12 hour shifts over the weekend so I am only available during the week. I am on call for 8 hour shifts during weeknights but can do overnight stays if that is not an issue. I have had extensive experience with animal care, both as an owner and looking after other people's animals. I have experience with both dogs and cats as well as with giving medication to both. I have also volunteered at animal shelters for both dogs and cats. Experience with animal aggression, anxiety disorders, pets of all ages, and health as well as dietary problems. I love dogs and want to work with them. Why I love dog sitting I have always been a dog lover and have both owned my own dog and dog-sat for people most of my life. My experience administering medication I am very comfortable administering medication I work weekends and am on call for weeknights. This leaves my weekdays free to pop by to take care of all your pets needs. I am currently not offering any boarding in my own home. I am comfortable walking large and small dogs no matter their temperament or if they have aggression issues.

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: Hi there! I’ve been caring for dogs of all ages and personalities for years — from playful puppies to sweet senior companions. My experience started with fostering young dogs (puppies to 1-year-olds), where I focused on building good habits through positive training and structured play. I now have a Golden Retriever puppy of my own, so I’m no stranger to puppy energy, consistency, and enrichment! He currently is at Hunt Test training and most likely will not be home. Before that, I cared for my elderly family dog, learning the patience and attentiveness needed to support dogs through every life stage. I believe every dog deserves more than just a walk — they deserve time to think, play, explore, and bond. I love incorporating brain games, problem-solving toys, and active play to keep dogs mentally sharp and physically happy. Whether it’s a fun training session, a sniff-filled walk, or cuddle time after a good play, I make sure each pup feels safe, stimulated, and loved. I currently work from home, which helps me keep an attentive eye on your pup! My office is set up with a kennel so that your pups can play or snooze right next to me. Working from home also means I’ll be able to work from your home if that is desired! I am able to shift my working hours in the day, so if we need a nice hour long lunch walk, that’s no issue! Right now, my dog Bo is away at hunt test training, so your pup will have my full attention during their stay or visits. If Bo comes home from training, I’ll always check with you first to make sure you’re comfortable before any introductions or playtime together — your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. At home, I have a secure outdoor play pen where dogs can safely enjoy fresh air and playtime. I’m also in the process of having a full fence installed within the month to provide even more freedom and security for outdoor fun. I take pet safety seriously — from watching for heat and hydration during play to using safe, durable toys. During walks, I make sure each dog is properly fitted with the right collar or harness for their comfort and control. I’m also experienced in using pinch/prong collars correctly and safely for dogs who are trained with them, ensuring a calm and confident walking experience. No matter where I’m caring for your dog — in your home or mine — I strive to create a secure, trusting, and enriching environment where they can relax, play, and thrive.

About: Grew up on a farm and have loved animals ever since I can remember.Enjoy being around them and taking care of them. For the most part there has always been a dog & or cat in my household. Very patient so I think that comes in handy with all the different personalities that pets have. Being reliable is super important to me so if i say I'm going to do something or be there at a certain time its true 99% of the time. Currently have a cat and its hard for me to imagine not being around him every single day. If you let me take care of your pets they will be in great hands!! Work for my self mostly so I can set my own hours. An early riser, who wants to accomplish something new every single day. Plan my schedule out 2 weeks in advance I don't take care of pets in my home because I rent my place out for airbnb. Enjoy going to new places to see new pets

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats and have a year of professional pet sitting experience. What sets me apart is that I work from home, so pets are rarely left alone and always have company. I live in a large, pet-friendly house with plenty of room to play and relax, plus I’m right by great walking paths and dog parks. I’m comfortable caring for puppies with lots of energy, senior pets who need extra patience, and everything in between. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re a I’m currently an accounting intern working full time from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent care throughout the day. I love taking breaks from my desk to walk dogs, play outside, or spend time with pets. Having animals around adds joy and balance to my routine, and I enjoy giving them the attention and activity they need while I’m home. I live in a large, pet-friendly house with plenty of space for pets to relax and play. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities - I follow your instructions closely and make sure every pet feels right at home. Since work from home, they rarely ever be left alone, and I can easily keep them on their usual schedule for feeding, potty breaks, and playtime.

“Landon is so chill & sweet with Trygve, my sweet Norwegian Elkhound. Tryg loves to "scent walk" and is a big boy and tends to pull very hard ( & I'm a small person), so this has been a win-win for us! Welcome to the family, Landon!”

About: Hi! My name is Madison, and I’m an experienced and dependable pet lover with a lifelong passion for caring for animals. I currently have one cat of my own, but I grew up with both big and small dogs, as well as indoor and outdoor cats—so I’m very comfortable around pets of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. While I now work as a server and bartender, I’ve always made time for animals. During college, I volunteered regularly at the local animal shelter, where I walked a wide variety of dogs. That experience taught me a lot about leash and harness handling, and gave me the skills to confidently care for dogs with different energy levels and personalities. Whether you’re looking for someone to walk your pup, check in on your cat, or just give your pets some extra love while you’re away, I’m here to help. I treat every animal like my own and take pride in providing safe, attentive, and reliable care. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family! Currently I work part time, which does give me more time to help out with your babies! My only “guaranteed” times off are Tuesday afternoons and Sundays, which is when I could be available for recurring bookings. Otherwise, I get my schedule for the next week on Friday afternoons, which means I can book one-times about a week out. Every pet in my care is treated like family - with kindness, attention, and genuine love. Whether I’m on a walk or watching them at home, I follow their routines closely and make sure they feel safe, happy, and understood. I’m big on cuddles, playtime, and keeping their environment clean and calm. I pay attention to each pet’s personality and needs, always making sure they’re comfortable and cared for like they’re my own.

“Oriana did an amazing job with my curious pups! She gave them plenty of time to find the perfect spot to do their business as well as sniff every other blade of grass in the vicinity. She gave them good love and their treat. I would not hesitate to use her again!”

About: I have had a pets my entire life, mostly dogs and cats. I currently have 2 labs and 1 golden doodle who roam the yard with our farm animals; chickens and ducks. They are kennel trained and wouldn’t be around customer pets. I have 3 kids who love learning and helping out with chores. They are in extra curricular activities but I would ensure a schedule with you before the time of watching your fur baby. My husband is home most nights and weekends (besides hunting seasons) and he works construction during the day. I am home most nights and weekends besides when I have drill with the Iowa National guard, I work full time with the guard. Our dogs currently have an underground fence but because we have one mischievous lab (Mayble) who likes to convince the other two to go on adventures, we kennel her and our youngest (Bailey, golden doodle) during working hours. Our eldest (Max) is pretty lazy and wonders our yard freely during the day and night without his collar.

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.

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! 🐾

About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have grown up surrounded by cats and dogs. Caring for pets has always come naturally to me! I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, bathing, and simply spending time with your sweet friend. I’ve also worked at a dog daycare, which gave me hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. Including pups who are shy, anxious, or need a little extra patience. I’ll do my best to create a calm and comforting environment. I’m happy to stick to their routine, give extra snuggles, or just sit with them quietly if that’s what helps them feel safe. I’ll also send regular photo and text updates so you can see how they’re doing and feel reassured while you’re away. Right now, I work part-time with a very flexible schedule. I currently work in the ICU at the U of Iowa about 24 hours a month and will soon be working an additional 8 hours a week at another hospital. I’ll also be starting nursing school in the fall, but outside of that, I’ll mainly be home and available. Whether you need help with daily care or overnight stays, I’m happy to come to your home to feed, walk, play with, or simply keep your pet company. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities and I’ll always care for them as if they were my own.
