“Carlee is very personable, obviously cares a lot about dogs, and has great customer service skills. I highly encourage Indianola-area households to take advantage of her ability to help out with local pet sitting needs.”
“Coree was reliable, friendly and took great care of my cat, Flipper. I was gone for a week and she came in daily to care, feed and play. I will use her again and would recommend 👌 her to Ft. Madison, Iowa area residents.”
About: Hi, I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years. I’ve always been surrounded by dogs and cats, and in recent years I’ve also had experience with various farm animals. I have a deep passion for all creatures and always do my best to care for those around me. Outside of Rover, I’ve worked with more than 20 clients. Currently, I work part-time, which gives me the flexibility to dedicate quality time to the pets I look after. At home, I have three dogs and a cat. Two of the dogs are kenneled when we’re not home, while one is free-roaming. My cat is very used to being around dogs. I also have three hound dogs who stay in the back of the property—they can be a bit loud sometimes, but they’re separated from guest pets. Visiting pets stay inside with me and my dogs, and I can provide a separate area if needed to make sure everyone is comfortable and safe. I have a fenced yard and plenty of space for walks and activities, as I live on a quiet gravel road. I’m comfortable administering oral medications and have experience with senior pets, special needs animals, and young puppies. I’m also happy to help with crate training or leash manners if needed. I always keep pet parents updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in good hands. I currently work part-time, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the attention they need. If bookings are scheduled in advance, I can easily work around my other commitments to make sure your pet is well cared for and never rushed. At my home, pets are treated like family. They stay inside with me and my own pets, and I always make sure everyone is comfortable and gets along. I can provide a separate space if needed, and I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time. Walks, playtime, and cuddle time are all part of the daily routine. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I follow their specific instructions closely to keep things consistent and stress-free for the pet. I make sure they stick to their usual routine—feeding, walks, play, and any other needs—while giving them plenty of attention and care. I always keep the home clean and respect the space like it’s my own.
