“Barbara did an excellent job taking care of our cats! She successfully administered medication to a challenging cat. She brought over toys to play with them each day and sent me text and video updates. Barbara made full use of her time at our place, ensuring the cats and home were well cared for and alerting us of anything that may need attention. I would definitely book her again and can’t recommend her enough!”


“Abigail takes fantastic care of our babies, is super flexible, and is so quick to respond/easy to communicate with about anything day or night. We absolutely trust her to take care of them and wouldn't trade her for anyone!”


“Hailey is a very responsible young women! She was very attentive and loving with our dogs. Responsible with our home and even offered to go back to the house when storms were coming because she was worried about 1 of our dogs that was afraid of Storms. Great with any types of dogs. We have a great dane and a Weimaraner. Lots of Experience. Would definitely recommend”


“Samantha has such a sweet and caring energy that our finicky pup took to her right away. She was conscientious, taking notes to get everything right. Samantha was so gracious about the little extras like pulling the blinds and leaving lights on. I highly recommend Samantha!”


“Brandy was amazing in taking care of my two cats while having to deal with a family emergency and vacation. Definitely will want to book again and highly recommend, thanks for everything”


About: Neighbors friends and families have all relied on me to bath, walk, medicate their babies and I worked at a doggy daycare and boarding resort! I’m currently working between the vet clinic and grants farm live stock care! But my schedule has more room and I want to dedicate it to any and all animals I can! I have one dog well trained, free roam of the house, allowed on everything, potty trained and go out for his walk every day, and takes days off as he wants!

“Lily was a great sitter for my very hyper dog. I loved the picture and video updates and could tell she really spent time and gave Ivy lots of attention. I will absolutely book again and definitely recommend her:)”


About: I have a miniature bernedoodle that is my baby. I love all dogs and I have no met a dog that I do not get along with. I make sure that the dog is comfortable with me before any interaction. I am a very upbeat and bubbly person who enjoys walks and exercise! I am an early bird so I do not mind getting anywhere early. During the week, I am at the gym early in the am and then take my dog to my parents to play with their dog a few times a week. I talk my walk just about everyday of the week and it’s a great thing to do for both of us and we both enjoy it. In the evenings, I try to talk her for another walk if I can when the weather is nice. Most evenings, I am home and playing with my own dog. I plan on offering potty breaks and dog walking. I really make sure that the pets are taken care of and have all they need. For my own dog, when she stays at home by herself a couple times a week, I make sure she has toys and a radio on so it’s not dead silence. As soon as I get home, I take her out and play with her outside and get her to run out her wiggles.

About: I used to foster dogs. My yard is pretty big and I have a doggie door. My dogs do not mind visitors. I am off work during the summer and all major holidays. I am a teacher so I am off for the summers. When school is in session, I get off early and I am usually home before 4pm. I have a fenced in yard that can be accessed by a doggie door. I have 3 small dogs. I walk them and play with them on a regular basis. I also have 2 cats.

About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and small pets. Along with volunteering at a local rescue, I’m comfortable with a variety of animals and their unique needs. I care for my own dogs every day and often help friends with their pets. I also volunteer regularly at a local rescue. Pet care is a natural part of my schedule, so I’m comfortable handling different animals and their needs. I ensure pets are safe and comfortable by maintaining a clean and secure environment. Whether at my home or yours, I follow established routines and any specific instructions to provide consistent care. Communication is clear and timely to keep owners informed.

About: I have been taking care of dogs and animals for over a decade of my life so far. I care so much about pets safety, almost more than my own at some points. I’d love the opportunity to meet you pet and build the trust between them and make sure you know they’re in great hands. I have 3 dogs of my own so everyday I feed, play with, and make sure they get let out throughout the day whenever I’m home. I currently am enrolled in college, so sometimes it is difficult to find a schedule that works well; but I am very flexible in fitting drop-ins in and am willing to compromise! I very much care for my pets. I actually have a dog who’s still in his puppy stage so he requires constant monitoring and everything. If you trust me to take care of your dog/pets, I’d send you multiple pictures every-time I stop by or drop in to care for them to let you know everything is well. I’ll send proof of them being fed, let out, and laying down all before I head out.

About: I have been around all types of pets for most of my life! I do have quite a bit of experience house training puppies and adult dogs Basic commands. I also have experience taking care of our pets when they get old and gray and need the extra little bit of help around the house. My availability is just about as open as it gets, my current job is only 4 to 8 days per month so 90% of the time I’m a stay at home dad! Willing to be as active or lazy as your pet wants! Though I do not have a fenced or large yard, the back of the property is right up against the practice ball field in Waterloo, so we will have plenty of space to run around and play in a safe environment.

About: I have owned, been surrounded by, or been trusted to watch dogs for most of my life. Currently only own a cat so hoping to enjoy dogs on here until I get a dog! I currently work night shift and so I am available afternoons and weekends. I’m very flexible and would love to get to know your pet soon! I try to take advantage of walks and use them as an opportunity to burn off some energy so the pup gets a nice nap after. I will do what it takes to make sure the tail is wagging next time I walk in the door.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 11 years old. I have had a few of my own and was relied on by neighbors, family, and friends to take care of their dogs while they were away! I am currently a college student, and also work part time. I am off work for a couple months, so I have plenty of time to feed, let out, and play with your animals! I do not have other animals come to my house because I have one older dog of my own, and my house does not have a ton of room for more animals.

About: I’ve worked closely with dogs for 3 years consecutively now, as well as dog-sitting for friends & family! I have experience with dogs all ages from puppy to senior! I am dog CPR & First Aid certified, to ensure I can provide the best care for your furry friend! I currently have a part time job at a local pet store/grooming salon, and attend SWIC as a full time student. My evenings are usually the time I spend with animals! Whatever you need, I can do! I take pet parent instructions very seriously to ensure your furbaby is cared for as if they are my own! Anything to make the animal most comfortable is my goal!

About: I have been training and taking care of dogs of all shapes and sizes since 2008 when we adopted our angel, Willie. Since then, I have trained my two perfect puppies, who are my pride and joy! Neighbors and friends often ask for my help teaching their dogs new tricks or simply taking care of them while they enjoy their trip away from home. In addition, I volunteer at a Humane Society and am trained in properly walking dogs, carefully getting them in and out of kennels, and reading their body language. I know how precious pets are to a family, and I pride myself on providing the utmost care to every dog I interact with! I am currently home for winter break from college, so I am able to provide care every day of the week! I am taking an online class that allows me to work at my own pace, which will not interfere with my priority of assisting whenever necessary! It is important to me to approach each dog with the same respect and love as I would my own dogs. Dogs are simple, quirky creatures who need attention, love, and play time. I am also able to crate dogs if needed and clean up after them!
