Pet Sitting in Ames

“Michelle did an excellent job with our fur babies while we were away. I loved the pictures and updates! Gave us peace of mind knowing they were in great hands.”

“Alyssa was a great fit for us! I contacted Alyssa at the last minute (right before Christmas) to do drop-ins on our cats while we were traveling. I was nervous because one of our cats was throwing up a bit, and we were worried about whether or not he was going to be okay while we were gone. When I mentioned it to Alyssa, she seemed totally unfazed by the prospect of dealing with a sick cat. She sent us updates that let us know when she was here and how long she spent and was kind enough to do things I didn’t ask her to like bring in a package from the porch. Our cats were clearly well-cared for, the litter box was spotless, and the house was secure. I would absolutely hire Alyssa again.”

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud dog dad of four! My family owns a veterinary clinic, so I’ve truly grown up surrounded by animals, at one point, we had 17 pets at home. I also worked as a veterinary assistant for 5 years, trained by experienced vets and techs, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and critters of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Whether it’s giving medicine, administering shots, or providing extra love and attention, I treat every pet like one of my own. I understand how much trust it takes to let someone care for your furry family member and I don’t take that lightly. My goal is to make you feel confident knowing your pet is in safe, capable, and loving hands. From playful puppies to senior pets with special needs, I’m comfortable and confident providing care that fits each animal’s unique personality. I’d love to help you give your pet the attention, exercise, and care they deserve! I work from home, which means my schedule is very flexible, perfect for last-minute needs or mid-day check-ins. I’m happy to drop in during the workday to make sure your fur babies get the love, attention, and care they need while you’re away. If you’d like someone to stay a bit longer during the day, I can easily work from your home as long as there’s Wi-Fi available. That way, your pets get consistent company and you get total peace of mind knowing they’re never alone for long. When I’m caring for pets in your home, my top priority is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. I always take time to learn each pet’s routine feeding schedule, potty breaks, favorite toys, and any quirks or preferences so I can keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible. I offer plenty of playtime, walks, snuggles, and companionship (whatever your pet enjoys most!), along with regular check-ins and updates so you never have to wonder how things are going. I treat every home with the same respect I’d want for my own, keeping things tidy and following your instructions carefully. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or a longer stay, I make sure your pets get the care, attention, and comfort they deserve so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.

“Saryna did a great job with my pups. Always sent information and pictures of her stops to our house while we were gone for the weekend. I will definitely be using her again.”

About: I have grown up with dogs all my life all breeds of them I have also had a kitten, I love animals I would like to put your mind at ease while I take of you pet because I know they apart of your family. I have some extra time I can spare into taking care of pets during the week. This is important to me to do a good job for you.

About: I have taken care of cows, sheep, and a dog or two on my family’s farm. I moved to Fremont, NE for my job but miss getting a lot of time outside and working with animals. I can’t have a dog at my apartment and am looking for some emotional and physical exercise with man’s (and woman’s) best friend. I’m willing to walk in rain, snow or shine. I am willing to learn and am capable of following detailed instructions. This profile requires a certain amount of words but I hope you would be willing to give me a chance for my actions to speak louder than my words. I currently work a 8-4 job with some travel. For the summer I am unavailable on the weekends but will be back with a more available schedule this fall. I want the pet to feel comfortable around me. The more information you can share about your environment/the pet’s regular environment the better for me.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my strong attention to detail, genuine love for animals, and experience with pets of all ages and needs. I have hands-on experience training puppies with basic commands and crate training, as well as providing gentle, attentive care for senior pets who may need medication, extra patience, or mobility support. I’m also highly reliable and communicative I always keep pet parents updated with messages and photos, so they feel connected and reassured while they're away. My calm, friendly approach helps pets feel safe and at ease, whether it’s their first time with a sitter or they need special care. I treat every animal like they’re my own, and that personal connection makes all the difference. Pet care fits into my daily routine as a consistent and rewarding responsibility. Every morning starts with feeding my dog and taking him for a quick walk to get some energy out before the day begins. In the evenings, I usually spend about 30 minutes either going on a longer walk or playing fetch at the park. On weekends, I make time for grooming like brushing his fur or giving him a bath if needed and sometimes schedule vet checkups or pick up new toys or treats. It’s a routine that keeps me grounded, and it’s always nice to end the day with a loyal companion by my side. When caring for pets in either my home or a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and consistent environment. For dogs, I ensure they have regular feeding times, fresh water, daily walks, and playtime to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. I also follow any specific instructions the client provides, such as administering medications or adhering to training routines. If I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s regular schedule to reduce stress from their owner's absence. I clean up after the pet, monitor behavior for signs of illness or anxiety, and send updates (with photos) to the owner for peace of mind. Whether it’s overnight care, walking, or short visits, my goal is to make each pet feel safe and loved while their owner is away.
