“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.”
About: I have always loved animals since I was a child. I always wanted to be a dolphin trainer and a zookeeper when I was little. That is still a dream of mine, but life has thrown me some curveballs, that has changed my goals/steps in life at this moment. I first worked at my first animal clinic job in 2010-2011, my first job ever, when I was a junior in high school. It was one of the best jobs I have ever had. I decided that working at a animal clinic would be the best job for me until I could work at a zoo. My favorite subject in school was science and animal studies. I went to college and got my associate's in science, and got a bachelor's in zoology and general studies, with a minor in psychology and half minor in scuba diving. I then worked at my second animal hospital in 2022-2023. I loved that job so much because I got to work and do so many things with dogs and cats, as well as many other types of pets. I have cleaned kennels and runs. I have cleaned litter boxes. I have fed and gave water to dogs and cats. I have given medication to dogs and cats. I have given shots to cats. I have bathed dogs and cats. I have taken dogs out on walks. I have taken dogs out to potty. I have done fecal matter samples. I have cleaned up fecal matter outside in the yard as well as cleaned messes including fecal matter, urine and vomit. I am a stay-at-home mom, with both kids at school, so I have the flexibility to take care of pets all day from Monday to Sunday allowing for full day of playtime and belly rubs. Dogs are let out first thing in the morning and many times throughout the day. I do have a dog in the house already, but he loves other dogs and could use the company since we have moved from his friend (my mom’s dog). I can easily separate dogs if a friendly connection doesn’t work. I can keep our dog separate. I have a safe outside leash out front and will sit out there while dogs are out. I would love to make this a full-time job. I enjoy being with dogs and cats all the time. I definitely will make your pets feel like they are at home and very loved. I have a nice yard and I have a park at walking distance, and safe and nice neighborhood to walk dogs. I have extra leashes on hand, I have treats as well and doggy bags. I have a friendly dog at home, that gets along with other dogs and cats. I do have a crate if any dog needs to be crated. I have plenty of blankets as well. I have litter boxes all around the house and change them regularly.
“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.
