Charlie Bear now recognizes the front of Nichole's house. When he sees it, he gets so excited and pulls at his leash so he can get inside as quickly as possible to see his human and dog buddies.

Java started to trust Kenneth after 2 daycare visits, which is very rare. It means Kenneth did a lot of work with him. I feel very confident leaving Java with him, and I can focus on my work . Thank you 🙏🏽

I could not have been happier with how the day went for my 2 girls while staying w Jalyn. She communicated very well throughout from booking to, sending me some beautiful action pictures. I am looking forward to booking w Jalyn again in the future. Mija was actually worn out at the end of the day. Which is not easy to do, so that is greatly appreciated

J did a great job with my dog. She must have played a bunch because she crashed on the couch as soon as we got home! I would recommend J to anyone.

About: Since I was 12 years old I had a strong love for companion animals which pushed me to gain experience with a variety of them; from dwarf hamsters to pigs. Growing up I always imagined becoming a veterinarian and, I am proud to say I have finally received my bachelors in animals science from Iowa State University. Throughout my four years at Iowa State I learned important training techniques, behavioral training, and basic health information for small and large animals. I currently work from home which gives me flexibility during the day for last minute bookings! Services that clients need help with is already built into my routine and I am confident in my experience that I can care for your pet as I do mine. I live in 2 bedroom apartment with 2 small dogs. My dogs are polar opposites since one loves to sleep all day while the other enjoys running with all the toys. If you know your dog will be comfortable in that setting they are more than welcomed in my home. Although I do not have a fenced in yard I do have access to the Ames dog park for zoomies.

Our 10 week old puppy had a great time with Gina while we were gone for the day. She had a large fenced in yard for him to play in, lots of toys to help with his puppy energy and soft places for him to sleep! We are thankful he was taken good care of and gave us great peace of mind.

About: I’ve fostered and have cared for multiple dogs while dog sitting for multiple people when they go on vacation! I will make sure your pup has the best of care. Many people have relied on me to walk, feed, & care for their pets! I’m a D1 softball player at Iowa State who has a lot of free time since I am on summer vacation! I am very flexible and can adjust to your schedule! I have two very friendly dogs who love to run around. A 4 year old American Bully named Coco and 10 month old English Golden Retriever named Koda!

Kylie was amazing! She was flexible to work with and helped make a schedule that worked for Frankie. She sent me updates throughout our trip so I could see all the fun they were having! Kylie checked in with Frankie at our home and also provided doggie daycare for her in her own home. Frankie loved the attention and friends to play with! Frankie can’t wait to see her again!

I highly recommend Tyler for pet sitting and care services. Tyler has taken care of my cats on multiple occasions, and each time I come back, my pets are content and well looked after. He goes the extra mile to ensure their welfare and happiness. Tyler not only assisted with Bronco, my dog, but also formed a bond with Mouse, my more reserved cat, who usually doesn't warm up to strangers. His compassion and patience are evident in his interactions with animals. One particular instance that demonstrated Tyler's commitment and empathy was when we took in Lady Bug, a kitten with a broken leg. Tyler provided constant care, support, and affection for the little one, resulting in Lady Bug recovering successfully and becoming a cherished part of our family. Tyler's passion for animals shines through in his work, and I trust that my pets are in capable and compassionate hands under his care. Tyler has always had a strong connection with Bronco, and his genuine concern for all our pets is truly admirable. Furthermore, Tyler's expertise with reptiles and ferrets highlights his versatility and understanding in caring for a variety of animals. His dedication and love for all creatures, regardless of size, make him an exceptional pet sitter.

Audrey comes from a dog family, she isn’t a stranger to raising dogs, how they behave or what their needs are. I’ve let Audrey watch my dog periodically over the past two years, the biggest gap being 2 weeks when I flew home due to a family emergency. When I came back, I didn’t know what to expect with it being the first time I’ve left my dog with someone else for that long. I came back to a puppy who was past out because she had played with him all day! He was fed when I had asked her to feed him and got updates via text whenever she could snap a picture with a day to day update to let me know he was okay. She’s responsible, caring, and very proactive. I hope she is approved for this role of caring for other pets when their owners are away.
