Pet Sitting in Blue Grass

“Grace took great care of my dog during her drop in visit!”

Erica A.

“Erica was great! We only needed her for two drop in visits since we were out of the home for about 13 hours. She came over a few days before to meet out r pups and see how to take of Bowie (he recently tore his ACL). She sent pictures and wrote report cards for both of her visits. We’ll definitely have her hang out with the kids again ?”

About: I’ve had a dog in my life since I was 5 years old. I have 2 healthy happy dogs of my own. I have experience with dogs of different ages and sizes/breeds. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes. Your dogs will be my second priority after caring for my own dogs each and every day. Their well-being and happiness will be a priority for me in my routine. I can crate, feed, walk your dogs, or whatever service you are needing to be stress free while at work or on vacation. Your babies will be loved and cared for like my own.

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for most of my life. I've walked and sat my neighbors, brothers, and family friends dogs and cats whenever they leave town or want to have a day trip. I'm currently in my first year of Chiropractic School at Palmer. Pet sitting is one of the ways I like to use my free time. It also fits in my schedule very well. I know every animal is different. I like to get to know them better and build there trust by playing with them or taking them on a walk.

About: I am a current dog mom and have experience with a variety of dogs and cats. I would love to care for your fur kids! I am an active person and enjoy being outdoors. I work full time and nearby with varying hours that allow me to care for pets. I always ensure my dogs’ safety by keeping them in a fenced-in area or on a leash. I value each dog’s unique personality and tailor services accordingly.

“Kay is absolutely brilliant. Have used her multiple times and she goes above and beyond. Very communicative, flexible and reliable.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was about 14 years old. For my 14th birthday I asked for a dog and we named him max. Max was a Maltese and he grew up with epilepsy and sadly passed away when he was 5 years old from the disease. I now have two 3 year old dogs one is named Charlie and he is a lab mix the other is named king who we recently adopted from the shelter and he is a pit mix. I am well experienced caring for all kinds of pups! I am currently trying to build up my customer base for my new dog walking business called QC Paws On The Go. So I am very dedicated to finding people who need a little extra help making sure their pup gets everything they need on a daily basis! I can only offer services at the clients home. Unfortunately my newly adopted dog named king is quite reactive and territorial due to his troubled past of abuse and neglect. I can offer daily walks or if your pup likes to stay at home I can come by and get some play time in the yard and any other care that is needed!

About: I have had a dog in my life since I was 8, have raised 2 daughters now 28 and 30, added several dogs permanently as well as several foster dogs; several cats; my husband had several falcons and is a licensed falconer, boarded several horses, including the one my daughter bought on her own at age 9; numerous small animals: guinea pigs, chinchillas, and hamsters; and recently took care of my son-in-law's South American racoon, a Kudamundi, for more than a year as they began homesteading in Montana. I am a retired educator, living on 10 acres of land just outside of Blue Grass, Iowa. We currently have a 6 year old Golden Retriever named Fergus and a rescue red tabby cat named Finlay. My schedule is flexible and I am also working at developing a business (property not yet zoned) on my property to provide TimberNook programming, where children are offered numerous free, open-ended, child directed/driven/supported play opportunities in the beautiful and important world of nature. I am happy to have your pet in my home, most often as a member of our family. We have a large area for free roaming (supervised of course), an outdoor enclosed kennel area, and lots of space to roam around our 10 acre property as well as our 2400 square foot home.

About: I can’t wait to be the one you go to when your furry friend needs a good jog. I’ve cared for animal from guinea pigs to cats and dogs. I’m trying to get out and about more and would love to have a fuzzy friend by my side! I work full time and am a criminal justice major. Even though that sounds crazy just to say I always have time to love and care for animals. I’m looking to get more active and enjoy nature, with your furry friend by my side of course. My pets include one furball named momma! As O currently don’t offer any services at my home no need to worry! I’m comfortable around any type of animal and even if you have a couple I can find ways to nurture them all! I can always provide photos of your pup and furball anytime!

“Shayla was a great sitter for my 2 pups. She took them for walks and even helped assist when one of them had an accident. Would highly recommend as a dog sitter.”

About: I have had a dog since I was a young child. My love and passion has always been animals. I have pet sit for friends and family. I have always had multiple pets in my home that I have cared for. I am trustworthy and reliable and would love to care for your pets. I’m currently working part-time so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your fur-babies and give them potty breaks and the attention and love they deserve. I have a fenced in yard and friendly dogs to keep your dogs safe and give them company. I also have a dog crated if needed and lots of toys.

“She is fantastic!! She's patient and very caring. I don't trust too many people, but I completely trust her. She took amazing care of my dog and spent some extra time with her when she was sad. Just an incredible young lady, and I highly recommend her.”

About: I am responsible, reliable, caring and trustworthy. I have struggled to find the right pet sitter in the past, and to find someone that was available when I needed them. I would love to be that person for you, and able to help you out when you need it most. My pets are my world, so know I would treat yours like their my own and love them just as much as you do and make them feel at home. I know how hard it is to leave your pets alone with a stranger so I like to always do a meet and greet before watching your pets, so I can get to know your dog and you before taking that responsibility and giving you peace of mind! I want to point out I have a full time job, I do work 7:30-4:30, and work from home Wednesday to Friday. Please keep in mind when you’re booking with me. I’m free on the weekends and most weeknights. Most Thursday and Friday nights is iffy because I bake for the farmers market and sometimes have too much to do to be able to help out those nights. Please feel free to message me with any questions I love nothing more than making my own dog happy by having other dogs over to play and love being able to spend time with other people animals and give them the attention they need when their owners are out having fun. I would love to know if your dog needs kenneled or can stay out if I am gone, or to know what I need to do for them if I need to leave them. I would be able to take them on walks, play with my dog, anything you want I can do. I won’t take any dogs to the dog park.

“Zara was a fantastic dog walker for my chocolate lab!I will definitely be contacting her again. She was reliable and caring. I could tell instantly that she was a real dog lover!”

About: Hi! My name is Amanda. I have worked in doggie daycare, worked as a bather and in the sales department! At work I got to experience different breeds, temperaments and personalities! My favorite part of my job is building strong relationships with the owners and their dogs! I also have experience dropping in homes while their owners are at work, school or out of town. When I do drop ins I have taken them on walks, picked up after them and fed them. I absolutely love working with all animals! I am known to have great communication skills, I am compassionate , and I am responsible. I pride myself in those traits and look forward to building a relationship with you and your family member!

While walking them I will keep distance from other animals to ensure their safety. I will also follow all dietary needs and feeding schedules.

“Nicole has looked after my cat a few times now and she’s been fantastic! He’s been difficult with food but she’s been so willing to accommodate, thoughtful of any concerns I have about him, and keeping me posted on how he’s doing so I have peace of mind while I’m away. I would definitely recommend, Nicole!”

“Shes amazing! She took wonderful care of my babies and let them out multiple times while she was here and shes very communicative. My cats even liked her which was a huge win in my book 😊 Highly recommend using Karyn for any doggie needs!”

Alyssa M.

About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I can remember I have always enjoyed taking care of them and making sure they are living their best life. I have three dogs of my own including a labradoodle and two french bulldogs. I consistently watch all the dogs in my neighborhood and watch my friends cats as well. I also have a lot of experience with puppies due to my family being guide dog raisers for a long period of time. Along with puppies I am also good with senior dogs due to my family choosing to foster a lot of senior dogs. I also have experience and love all sizes and kinds of dogs. I look forward to treat your animals as if they are my own and show them every bit of love and care you would show them. I am staying in staying in Davenport over the summer and working part time so I have plenty of time to care for your pet! I am available for housesitting pretty much any day because my shifts are short and I am able to go check on your pet during my shift if needed. I’m also available for walks and check ins most days except for Fridays after 11 a.m. I also know the summer is are a busy time and I am usually pretty flexible and ALWAYS open to any last minute pet sitting requests. Whenever I am watching a neighbors dog while staying in their house I make sure I am constantly spending time with them and getting their energy out, whether it is playing fetch, taking them on a walk, or even just cuddling on the couch with them. I always make sure they consistently get out to use the restroom. I love spending my time with your cute doggos and making sure they are happy as can be while your away!

About: I have worked at a kennel for the past few years, lots of experience with handling multiple dogs at once if required! No job too big, no pup too small, paw patrol I’m on a roll! I have experience with giving medications, whether that be insulin or pills it is no worry for me! I currently have no other job, when I do get one I will update my hours as soon as possible! Whenever you need someone to care for your pet I will be there, and if those times change feel free to just send me a text and I can adjust! I tend to do whatever is needed of me. If I must house sit, I will ask for a list of things that you require to ensure when you return home you have nothing extra to do! I will get out some toys, and will always be sure to clean up afterwards. I am capable of bringing my own lunch so I will make sure I clean after myself as well.
