“Anna was great! She was kind and communicative and took great care of Owen, including with oral meds. I would definitely ask her to take care of him again!”

Bailey O.

“Very reliable! Nasimul and Dominique would lmk when they started and ended the visits. Sent tons of pics and were super responsive. They even brought up packages for me and took it upon themselves to sweep up litter from my living room!”

Maggie K.

“Sofi was patient and caring for my dog. My dog warmed up to Sofi more and more each drop in visit. She was great at communicating and sent adorable pictures. Very reliable!”

Ashley Paige R.

“Nate provided excellent care for our cats. Communication went smoothly and he responded to texts in a timely manner. He sent photos of our cats when possible, which was appreciated. We were confident they were in good hands.”

Jennifer M.

“Alissa was wonderful as always! I’ve booked with Alissa a few times now, and she goes above and beyond with all the pictures she sends and very detailed updates after each visit. She’s helped clean up after accidents and keep my cats from getting into any mischief.”

Nicole H.

“Katherine was very responsive and flexible. She seemed to put a lot of thought into making sure my cat was having a good time, making sure that she had both play time and cuddle time.”

Kevin M.

“Great, reliable care! Love the detailed notes about how the visits went. I have booked Seanna multiple times now and would again in the future!”

“Alex was great and took wonderful care of my K9 child. He was great about communicating and providing photos during check-ins etc. I would highly recommend Alex as a trustworthy, professional pet sitter to take care of your fur babies while you’re away. Will book him again!”

Robert S.

“We’ve now had Tara look after our cats multiple times, and she does a phenomenal job every time. She makes sure they get all the play and attention they need, and we trust that she’ll let us know right away if anything seems amiss. We always come home to happy kitties!”

Marcela P.

“Dustin took great care of our two cats! He was very responsive and professional and followed our directions. Our very shy cat even came out to greet him so clearly he knows what he’s doing! We will definitely book again!!”

Klara A.

“Vanessa really has a way of putting me and the cats at ease. She was very professional during the meet and greet, took notes while I explained the feeding routine and asked relevant questions. I left for my trip knowing the cats would be in good hands. She also takes great pet photos. I felt like she really respected each of my cats and their individual boundaries. I highly recommend Vanessa to anyone needing cat care.”

Angharad J.

“Amy was great! I could tell see really cared about the cats. She did an amazing job catering for my more shy cat, making sure she got food even though she was hiding.”

Stephen G.

“Wendy was great. She gave though updated of how each of our kitties was doing. It was comforting to know how each was being taken care of, especially since they each have different ways of needing attention. One kitty can sometimes choose not to take his medicine and she came up with ways to kindly convince him to. She even went the extra mile to leave things tidy. The kitties were very well taken care of.”

About: I have always loved animals. I was the kid that would bring stray animals home asking my parents if I could keep them. I have always had dogs in my family homes. I graduated from Iowa State University with an Animal Science degree in May of 2016. I have dog sat for other families in the Waterloo/Cedar Falls area. I honestly love dog sitting and I have even taken care of some turtles and tortoises. I don’t really think of pet sitting as a job, but rather an opportunity to provide a safe and loving environment for your family pets while you are on vacation or if you have other obligations. I know how difficult it is to find someone who cares for your animals as you do, and I would truly love to be that person.

About: I had a Maltese poodle mix for about 14 years. He recently passed last Thanksgiving. I have experience pet sitting, cleaning up, grooming, and feeding. And I also have experience caring for older dogs. I’m currently studying at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I live on campus, local and my schedule is pretty open. I have availability mornings and evenings most days, and have flexible hours. I mostly offer dog walking services. And I can provide them with water and bowls as needed. I can also walk them to local parks or other locations.

About: I've been the neighborhood pet sitter since I was in 5th grade, taking care of cats and dogs of all ages and sizes! Additionally, my experience handling horses makes me confident in my ability to handle and walk any dog. I have loved animals all my life and would love to spend some time with yours! This summer I am a part-time student, and would love to spend my free time being active or cozy with your cat or dog! My classes are online, so I don't have a set schedule, and can be extremely flexible. I am comfortable performing any task your animal may need in your home! I will always respect your space, and hope to leave it better than I found it. My main goal is to keep your pet happy and safe!

“Jolie was great with my three dogs. They clearly enjoyed her visits with her and she sent me lots of pictures. Followed all the notes I left and I felt very confident and comfortable with her caring for my pack.”

About: Hi! My name is Lensy, and I’m excited about the opportunity to care for your pet. A little about me: I am in grad school (online) and work a hybrid job which gives me flexibility/ allows me to be remote a good amount so your furry friend isn’t alone day! I have plenty of experience looking after neighbors’ pets, from playful puppies to full-grown dogs. I also have experience with birds and cats. I can’t wait to take your furry friend out for walks, keep them entertained, and meet their unique needs. I understand it can be hard to trust someone new with your beloved pet, so please don’t hesitate to share any concerns or specific instructions. I’m here to make both you and your pet feel comfortable! I’m flexible, understanding, and passionate about keeping pets happy and active. I look forward to meeting your little companion! PS you will see a lot of photos on my profile of my family golden doodle Coco, who is my whole world😌 I I often have the flexibility to work remotely and do grad school online which allows me to be quite adaptable. I am available to do in-person visits and check-ins throughout the day, though I’m unable to provide lodging. My weekends are currently free, so I’m happy to arrange care for your pets during that time as well. Please feel free to reach out to discuss how I can best accommodate your needs! When caring for pets in my home or in my client's home, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment tailored to each pet's needs. In my client's home, I want to be sure to know their routines. I focus on providing a stress-free experience, ensuring your pet feels comfortable and cared for in familiar surroundings. At home, I have a pet of my own, a mini golden doodle named Coco, who has taught me a lot about pet care and the importance of personalized attention. I ensure a calm, pet-friendly space where all animals can relax and feel at ease. I also maintain consistency in feeding times, play sessions, and any special care routines. I always ensure their safety and well-being is my top priority, no matter the setting.

About: Eric and Rachel share a love for their beloved Aussie-beagle Lilo and fostering rescue dogs together. We know that it is never easy to leave your beloved dog with someone new, and in a new place. As our own Lilo has struggled with separation anxiety before, we know how important it is to have a pet sitter who is present, patient, and able to cater their care towards a dog’s specific needs. Rachel has taken care of 6 different family dogs growing up, including a border collie, golden retriever, Boston terrier, 2 mixed breeds and a silky terrier. Eric has taken care of his family dog (chihuahua mix) since birth till now (9 years old). Together, we have fostered 12 rescue dogs these past two years, ranging from high energy Great Pyrenees to 3 Border Collie puppies all at once, to a completely afraid and anxious Beagle mama and Shiba Inu mama that are recovering from very difficult situations. We have also looked after a Rhodesian Ridgeback and an American pit bull. Our own dog is a 2.5 year old Aussie-beagle. We both have lots of experience working with dogs of all kinds of temperaments and needs, especially high energy dogs who require a lot of attention and care, and administering medication to dogs who have special needs. Rachel also loves cooking her home cooked meals for her dog, and can do that for yours too, if you need! We both work from home and have all weekends free. Our flexible schedules together allows us to bring dogs regularly on walks and to look after them consistently. We follow instructions really well, and can take care of your dog according to your requirements. We allow dogs to roam and sleep freely in our home, but we can also crate your dog easily if you prefer. We know how to work with your dog with lots of gentle care and love.

“Always the best. Great care and understanding with our senior dog. I am very much at peace anytime Jackson is scheduled to take care of Simba. Thank you Jackson for being a part of Simbas life!”
