“She was very helpful, communicative, and took great care of my dog. She kept me updated throughout the walks and made me feel comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands. I really appreciate her reliability and would definitely recommend her to others!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and other small animals since I was 18. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and play with their pets and I can watch animals at my house or stop in to yours to take care of your beloved pets! I have experience with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, ferrets, rats, mice, chinchillas, hamsters, gerbils, hedgehogs, lizards, and fish! I work as a nurse but still have plenty of time to take care of your beloved pets whether in my home or yours and will give them plenty of attention! I would be able to let out quick in the morning but no walks and can let out in the evening and do a walk. I have a large fenced in back yard for your dog to run and play in. I have two dogs both of whom are laid back and gets along with other dogs. I have the space to be able to set up a crate if needed to crate your dog while I’m away. I am able to let your dogs out in the morning and evening and spend time with them each time as well as feed them. I can watch your small animals at my house since I have a room designated for small animals since I own two ferrets! I have 3 sweet kitties who get along great with dogs and other cats!

About: I’m an animal science major with plans to pursue veterinary medicine, and caring for animals—especially dogs—is truly what lights me up. During high school, I was the go-to neighborhood dog walker, caring for dogs ranging from large breeds to small pups, which helped grow my confidence and love for working with all kinds of dogs. I also have four years of hands-on experience in a busy dog daycare, where I’ve worked with pups of all sizes, breeds, and personalities—from energetic zoomie experts to shy cuddle bugs. I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s unique quirks and making them feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or just some extra belly rubs, I treat every dog like they’re my own. My goal is to make your pup’s time away from you feel fun, comfortable, and exciting. I currently work at a dog shelter where my shifts are either from 7am-12pm or 4-9pm. I am happy to work around your pups schedule with ahead of time notice! Before, after, and during my break your dog will have plenty of time to potty and play. When I visit a clients home I give all my love and care to them to make sure they feel happy while the owner is gone. I focus on keeping their routine as consistent, safe, and comfortable as possible. I take the time to learn each pet’s schedule, including feeding times, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions, so they feel secure and stress-free.

About: I believe that pets should be treated like your own family member. Exercise, affection, grooming and good nutrition are all important to a Happy pet. I've had pets all my life, both cats and dogs as well exotic animals. For the past 15 years, I've had friends, family and co-workers seek me out to care for their pets. They trust my ability and love. I can be there at anytime you need me. Thanks for your concentration and I hope to hear from you soon.
About: I’ve had a dog ever since I was a baby and grew up visiting my grandpa’s farm in the country! My family also had cats, and I had four fish growing up! I love taking care of my family’s dog whether it be walking, exploring, or just cuddling and petting! I have had experience with all types of pets, from super energetic to ones that would sit on the couch all day long if they could! I have experience staying overnight for multiple days if needed with your pets, or dropping in a couple times a day as needed! I also love taking walks!

“KaDee walked and took care of our fur baby for three days. She was amazing, loved the pics and messages on how he was doing. Will definetly recommend her to others and request her again!!!”

About: I am an Animal Science Major at ISU and worked at a vet clinic recently! I am looking forward to having process in my career and loving what I do best! I am full time in school and the rest of the day throughout homework and studying I’m up and about with my animals fitting in their needs and care. I value their space when giving me signals of stress and being overwhelmed as very excited with them when that is what they need. Full energy dogs are so loving and we have the best time as well as calm and old souls who needs more naps.
“Brandon and Courtney are absolutely the best! We have a very high energy pup who is currently learning his manners ;) Brandon and Courtney came over ready to learn his cues and they have been absolute life savers for us on long days while we are working or away for an afternoon. We would recommend them over and over again!”

About: I have always loved dogs and always wanted one. So since I can’t have one I would love to take care of yours! I have taken care of many dogs of the years. I have watched dogs through house sitting. The longest I watched someone’s dogs was a month. I’m very comfortable around dogs and love them very much. They would get all the love from me! I’m a teacher on summer break, I have all the time in the world to take care of your animals! I love showing off the pets I get to take care of. Let me show off your fur babies! :) I always clean up after myself and your dog. I make sure your and your dogs needs are always met. I don’t have space for a dog at my own house though.

About: I have taken care of my family's dogs for years, from puppies to seniors! I deeply love all dogs and have always connected with them. I used to spend my weekends volunteering at the humane society! I currently have open availability, including evenings, nights, early mornings, daytime, and weekends! I would love to care for your adorable furbabies whenever you need! I get to know the pets' individual preferences, likes, and overall what they respond to. I ask owners about boundaries and get a sense of how I can make the pet comfy with my presence! I will try to do similar activities/routines that my client has established with their pet to keep the pets happy and calm!
About: Please only request if your dog is crate trained! They will only be in there briefly if I have to leave and overnight while sleeping (my two dogs take up most of the bed, so it is hard to fit a third unless they are tiny). I’ve been caring for/around animals my entire life. I have two small dogs and two cats of my own. Caring for them has taught me so much and made my love for animals stronger. Both my dogs and my cats are pretty laid back and enjoy sleeping most of the day. I am patient with any animal, and can adjust to any of their needs! I am currently working from home, so I can be available at any time. During my lunch breaks I usually take a walk with my dogs, or hangout with them in the backyard if the weather allows! I have a pretty big fenced in yard that is perfect for any dog to run around in! I can also provide lots of toys for inside, and the dogs are free to run around the house and play wherever they’d like. As for dogs or cats in your home, I am entertained easily and can sit and enjoy their company if they prefer a quiet environment, or I will play with them if they want to do that. I can adjust to their preferences.
About: I am no stranger to giving both oral and injectable medications. I have owned cats most of my life and have pet sit for as long as I can remember. I am capable of taking care of small animals as well. I’ve also owned rats, mice, hamsters and guinea pigs. Any questions, please ask! Also, please note that a booking is not confirmed or saved until you accept the booking on your end. Without doing so, your dates will not be reserved. Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you! I currently have an open schedule for all your pet care needs! I can provide temporary pet care as well as extended pet care needs. I currently have 2 cats who are my babies. One of them is on oral meds twice a day. Happy to follow all of your instructions so meet your pet care needs!
About: Hi there! I’m Grace and I’ve had experience with dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes since I was a young child. I’ve rescued several litters of kittens and love my rescue pup Drake who is a pit-bull lab mix. I’ve also had experience with pets with food allergies and elderly pets who need medications. I’ve been a pet sitter for friends and family in my hometown and wanted to get back into helping out others with their pets. The services I offer are mainly check-ins and walks but I may be able to do housesitting depending on my schedule! I’m more than comfortable with dogs of all sizes as I’ve had pup from 8 pound teacup yorkies to my 75 pound pit mix. Cats are also extremely welcomed! Thanks for considering me and I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friends! I currently work full time, so I have evening check-ins or weekend availability! I may be able to make exceptions depending on the pets needs and my schedule. I will follow any care instructions provided to me to provide comfortable and comprehensive care and make sure to love on them as if they are my own!

Vicky is wonderful. She is dependable and always responds promptly. She has walked my dog several times. She always sends pictures and I feel confident that my dog is well cared for by Vicky and enjoys his time with her.
