About: I trained and raised puppies from birth. I have always grown up being around dogs and i love to take care and play with them! I’m a college student currently so I have time between and after classes to come let out and play with your dogs! I also am usually free all day on Sundays and some days during the week. I do not have a fenced in yard but i do have a big grass area and other secluded parks to take them to. I live in an apartment on the 3rd floor.

I refer to Megan as the “dog whisperer”. She’s never met a dog she hasn’t liked. They all LOVE her! She cares so much for animals and they know it. It really is a beautiful thing to see. Not only does she provide exceptional care of our dog, she also helps us with training! Our dog can’t wait until she see’s her again. Megan is a senior in Animal Science pursuing a Veterinary degree at Iowa State University. Megan is so outstanding, I arrange my vacation around her schedule!

He was so compassionate with our older pup. I trusted leaving my sweet boy in his care because he seemed to really care about his well-being!

J is, without a doubt, one of the best sitters anyone could ask for! He has an amazing attention to detail and he will never miss a beat with your pups. He took the absolute best care of my animals when I lived in the same area and I could not recommend him more! His love for animals is extremely evident and he constantly goes above and beyond to take care of all animals and households. Ten out of ten in my book!

I highly recommend Emma. She is experienced with all types of dogs due to her background fostering animals. She handled our large, headstrong dog very well when she walked him around Ada Hayden each day. She is always very prompt when scheduling visits.

Jess has cared for my small-breed dogs on an occasional basis for the last two years. She has provided visits that combine walking with pet sitting tasks such as feeding, playing with, and pottying the dogs. She is a vet student so she understands animals, she uses gentle and compassionate methods, she is communicative and follows instructions well, and my dogs have enjoyed spending time with her. She is a pet parent to multiple species, so she understands caring for all types of critters. I'm a professional dog trainer and behavior consultant, and I'm very choosy about who I entrust my dogs to. I also recommend Jess to my clients. Jess is a wonderful sitter and walker!

About: My entire life I have owned animals. I also had a split family growing up, so at both households there were multiple animals each. Double the pet fun !!! I have owned big dogs, small dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens! I have a wide range of engaging with animals, ones who are senior animals all the way down to babies. I am a huge lover of animals and would love to provide ease to you and your families in ensuring your pet gets the best care while you are away. My mom was a single mom, who worked full time and could have absolutely utilized apps such as these if it were available when my siblings and I were younger and I hope to be that saving grace and peace of mind for you and your sweet pet(s). As a college student, I have a dog myself and he is a super social and fun loving pup who cant wait to be your pets new BFF! I can provide daily walks, runs, and tons of love and snuggles. I can provide a potty break as needed or every 2-4 hours. I live in a duplex with myself, my roommate and our sweet 3 year old pup. We have a large unfenced backyard. I am very active and am used to exercising my own dog so adding your pup to the mix would be easy! I am home most of the time and can be flexible with your pets current schedule. I have an animal so I know what goes into carving out quality time with your pet. Safety & love is the number one thing I strive for when caring for your animal. Pets are a part of the family and I want them to feel right at home when they are with me!

Stephanie is currently providing dog walking on a regular basis for our dog. She is very calm and does well interacting with him. Our dog can be reactive, but he is trusting of Stephanie. Stephanie has been very responsive to any questions I had about the dog walking and always provides a photo and a short update about the day’s walk. She always makes sure my dog is dressed appropriately for the weather from the coats and sweaters we have for him and is concerned and responsible for his safety on the walks.
