Pet Sitting in Ames

About: I’ve spent my whole life around animals and truly love caring for them like they’re my own. I currently have both a dog and a cat, so I fully understand the different needs, personalities, and routines that each pet requires. I’ve also cared for other small pets, and I’ve volunteered at local shelters, where I gained hands-on experience with animals of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’m skilled in feeding schedules, litter box and potty training, giving oral or topical medications, leash walking, basic commands, and helping anxious pets feel safe and secure. I’m especially patient with shy cats and high-energy pups, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine exactly as you prefer. I also offer house sitting, so your pets can stay in their familiar environment while you’re away. Whether your cat loves quiet companionship or your dog needs lots of playtime, I’m here to provide reliable, loving care — and plenty of updates and photos so you feel at ease too. Your pets’ happiness and comfort are always my top priority. I have open availability, which means I can easily work around your schedule — whether you need early morning visits, evening walks, or extended house sitting. I’m happy to be flexible to meet your pet’s needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always prioritize keeping things clean, respectful, and as close to the pet’s normal routine as possible. I make sure to follow all instructions carefully, from feeding times and walking schedules to litter box cleaning or medication needs. I give pets lots of attention, love, and playtime — while also respecting their boundaries and any house rules. I’m mindful of the space I’m in — I clean up after myself and the pets, avoid restricted areas, and make sure everything is left just as I found it. Whether it’s watering plants, bringing in the mail, or sending regular photo updates, I’m happy to help however I can to give peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make sure both your pets and your home are well cared for.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I can remember. Family and friends taught me how to care for them. I currently have 2 kitties at home. I am currently working full time in the mornings starting at 8am and leaving at 2:30pm. That leaves me with plenty of time to care for your baby in the early morning and evening. I will follow whatever is needed for your pet. I can be high energy which is perfect for anyone with a hyper dog, puppy, or kitten. But, I can also cuddle and hang out those older or more shy pets.

“Rachel was lovely to work with. She was prompt, responsive and accomodating with all my requests. She was very in tune with my dogs needs, and gave her all the love that she needed while I was away.”

About: I love animals in general. I can understand them better then people and get along with them much better. I enjoy every aspect of being with animals they are your children in a way and they need to be cared for as such. I've raised and taken care of dogs and cats as well as some exotic animals since I was a child. I find it to be enjoyable especially to see the overwhelming happiness and joy the animals show when they get to play or do anything for that matter. As such I treat animals as if they were children and talk to them and take care of them to the best of my ability in all circumstances. I enjoy walking as well as playing with the animals so it works out the animals are happy and I am happy getting to care for them and ensure they are happy and healthy. If you want someone to ensure your animals are taken care of while you are busy you know who to hire! Its always good to remember that animals are not only our best friends but we are our animals best friends too!

“Alexis did great with our dog Cosmo. We needed a last minute dog walker and she made it happen!”

About: I’ve had cats and dogs since I was three years old. I also worked part time at a dog groomer for several months. I have also fostered cats and dogs from shelters before. I am a teacher so I am available after 3pm on school days. I have almost unlimited availability for the summertime. Weekends can be scheduled in advance for drop-ins. Weekends can be scheduled same day or earlier for day care according to calendar availability. I offer day boarding only during the summer time. Don’t leave your dog in a hot car while you’re out on the river! Your dog can hang out in my fenced yard under the shade of 130-year old Sycamore trees. Cover is provided for rain protection, and a fan can be turned on to add air movement on the hottest days.

About: If you love your pet like a family member, as I do, then entrust their care and happiness to someone you can depend on to truly appreciate them as individual personalities. You can be at ease either at work or traveling, knowing your four-legged or winged baby is safe, secure and having a good time. If they require special attention, such as medicine or physical therapy, you can rely on me to take this with the utmost seriousness. Only your own love and attention will surpass the care I provide. Semi-retired, following my passion for animals to help other pet parents near by to feel secure that their pet is safe and loved while they work or vacation. I do strictly client home bookings for now. Hoping to have proper space to do at my home too very soon. I will keep clients posted in case they are interested!

“Brandi was amazing! She was able to watch my cats on relatively short notice, provided picture updates, and always communicated. I highly recommend Brandi for your pet sitting needs!”

About: Hi! I’m Taria! I am an animal loving girl who would love to take care of your babies! I used to work at a doggy day care in Morgantown. I have moved back home to Beckley and now work from home so I have lots of time to tend to your babies. I have 1 pit bull back who is very sweet. I will respect all of your wishes and will obey your rules with your pet. I teach really well and I have great bonding skills with animals. I can provide them with love and care while you are away from them. I feel that if you don’t love what you do, then you won’t put your all into your work. With me, your pets will be more than well taken care of, they will be put first, nurtured, cared for and most importantly very loved. I used to work at a daycare for dogs so I have lots of experience around multiple dogs with very different personalities helping me to learn how to care for all dogs. I plan to exercise the animals in my care so that they don’t feel bored or sad while their parents are gone. I also have a balcony if your baby likes to chill outside, I can crate your dog as well if needed.

About: I have cared for pets since I was 12 years old. I work as a nurse professionally and specialize with seniors. I care for organisms of every kind! I am currently working about one shift a week as a registered nurse and work remotely as a student. I have a dog of my own and I find it easy to balance my work and school life in a way that allows me to provide her quality care, time, and attention. I am able to stay at any clients home that lives reasonably close to Fayetteville, WV. I am unable to take pets into my house at this time for safety reasons (I live next to a busy highway with no fence).

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I’ve handled big dogs, small dogs, medium sized dogs. I’ve trained more than one dog as well. My specialty’s are German Shepherds and APBT. My friends and neighbors have relied on me to take care of their dogs when they’re out of town(feeding, walking, bathing, exercising, etc) I love dogs of all kinds and make them my very best friend! I’m currently working part-time, so I am able to help take care of your furry friends anytime! I’m usually available after 2pm on weekdays, and 1pm on the weekends. I can spend as much time as needed with your pups on the weekends, but minimum of 3 hours on weekdays. If I am coming to your house to have playtime with your pups, I am able to feed on schedule(if you have one) and I am able to exercise and play with them as much as they need. If I am taking your dog(s) for a walk, I can find a nearby dog park or walk path to take them to!

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a kid! I have 3 of my own. I’m very aware of the specific care each animals needs. I’m familiar with giving medications and keeping on a set schedule. I have 2 pets of my own so I know how important it is to keep them on a schedule. I’m also familiar with giving medication, food and other needs. If you have any specific needs please don’t hesitate to tell me! I can crate your dogs, walk them, play with them and keep them company.

About: I am the proud owner of Siberian Huskies. We spend lots of time outdoors hiking and playing in creeks/rivers. My furkids love play dates and we schedule as many as possible. I love to be outdoors enjoying the beauty of the area in which I reside. I have a fully enclosed chain-link fenced in yard at my home, but we still walk 3-6 miles every day. I will enjoy walking with your pets as well and will strive to make sure that the time you are away will be as enjoyable as possible.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for about 5 years now, maybe even more. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, goats, pigs, ducks, fish, and birds. Recently, I was able to get a job working at home, so now I am able to take care of more pets. I’m currently working from home now, so I am able to travel to pet sit or have more pets in my home. I do work 6pm-2am also. I take care of animals just like I would my own, make sure they are fed, comfortable, and get to go out to exercise. I will also say that I care for the pets depending on the owners preference.

“Lindsey was great with our pets! We really appreciate the care and attention she provided. She was responsive and obviously enjoys what she does! Definitely will use her again.”
