Pet Sitting in Blue Grass

“Jodi cared for our cat while we were gone on holiday. She showed up reliably each day, was communicative and brought in mail/packages. Highly recommend!”

“Taelor took amazing care of our kitty! She came to meet him about a week before we left, and even came to visit a second time because he didn't trust her immediately. Judging by the sweet photos she sent us of playtime and tummy pets, it definitely paid off and we really appreciate it. We were nervous about how well he'd take his medicine from somebody else, but Taelor did a wonderful job with him. She's patient, gentle, and obviously loves animals. I'd recommend her to anybody!”

“If you need someone to help you with your furbaby, to know that they’re in good hands and feel safe with someone looking after your extension to the family, Katie is that person. She has helped us with our two GSPs several times and we couldn’t be more grateful for the love and care she shows them as if they’re her own. She’s a mother to two young kids, and has had the sweetest labs I’ve ever met, and she is one of the best humans I know. HIGHLY recommend!”

“Amara does a wonderful job! I returned home to happy and healthy pets!”

“I would just like to say that Erica did a fantastic job caring for our two dogs while we were away for a weekend trip out of town. I was very impressed at how thorough and punctual Erica was for the drop in visits that she provided. The care notes, and pictures documenting each visit were very reassuring. I feel that Erica cared for our dogs as if they were her own. I will not hesitate to contact her again whenever we need someone to care for our dogs.”

“Brooke took amazing care of our dog while we were out of town. She followed all of our instructions and made sure to show our girl all the love. She also took care of few things around the house too. Highly recommend!!!!”

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.

“Fantastic experience with Megan. She was so sweet and attentive to all our pets. Sent great pictures. Will definitely book again.”

“Kara was great with my dog Bella. Always sending pictures and keeping me updated!”

“Cheryl was very conscientious of our needs and our pups needs. She gave them plenty of time to play and do their business in the middle of the work day. We would book her again!”

About: I’ve had dogs growing up and now have two of my own. I have a large unfenced yard, my dogs are allowed to cuddle with me on the couch, and they sleep in bed with me if they want to. I treat them like family because that’s what they are! You can rest easy knowing your pup will have lots and lots of love and playtime. Every day we go for a walk, to the park, or play outside together. There’s a dog park right down the street from my house which is super convenient! We would love to welcome your pup into our home. I’m also a runner so if your dog wants to come with me even better! We look forward to meeting you!

About: I have had the responsibility of taking care of dogs since I was 6 years old and I have loved doing so. I started staying over night with dogs and cats when I was 17 years old and I make sure they are loved the entire time. I have dealt with puppies as well as adult dogs when it comes to potty training, taking them on walks, giving medicine if it is necessary, and making sure they have all of their needs taken care of. There is no doubt that your dog will be loved and greatly taken care of when I am with them. :) I am currently a full-time college student at St. Ambrose University but I do have a pretty flexible schedule throughout the week and weekends. I am available mornings and evenings and a couple days a week I am available through the lunch hour. I will be respectful of your house and belongings as well as your pets belongings. Throughout overnight stays I will always have the dishes done and make sure to take out the trash when the stay is complete. I love to send daily updates of the dog so you know they are in great hands.

“Arrived on time, did a great job with my pets!”

“This is the second time we have had Lisa take care of our dogs. The first was a stay for a week in August while we were on vacation and the second, yesterday for a drop-in. She has been excellent both times. One of our two rescue dogs is really timid, yet Lisa is able to get her leash on and take them both for walks. Lisa has also been taking care of things around the house while we were gone. We will definitely have her take care of our dogs again! We would highly recommend Lisa!”

About: I have been a consistent dog sitter for 2 families for over 5 years. I have 2 dogs of my own, a chihuahua and a blue heeler who both have loads of energy! I currently work in the Davenport schools so my weekdays will always be open after 3 pm. I have completely open weekends and during the summer months I will be available on weekdays after noon every day and still completely open on weekends! My dogs would love to get to play with yours sometimes, we have a big field near us that we often take our dogs to, to run for a while and play fetch. I am also open to requests and of course all guidelines for caring for your babies in your own home!

“Kasey loves our dog just like he is one of her own. She is very timely, responsive, and kind. Our labrador loves to play fetch with her, and enjoys his time spent with her. It really helps us out to use Kasey while we are busy working in the office all week.”

“The pups love Tara!”

“Kenzie was so amazing with our cat Poppy (: She was very communicative and sent great pictures. Poppy seemed to have a great time with her and is very happy following her care!”

“Vicky has a wonderful personality and was a born caretaker. Whether it's her friends, her family, or her four-legged friends, Vicky puts their health and happiness at her top priority. I would certainly and have trusted her with the care of my pet and have been more than happy with the results and would definitely recommend her to anyone I know for the care of their dog.”

“Great work”
