Erika was great, my request was pretty last minute and she was able to stop by and take care of Dexter. I would highly recommend booking with Erika, I could tell she took really great care of him.

Eliza was amazing. Even my very skittish dog liked her. Great communication. She sent pictures and updates. She also accepted a booking at the last second.

Amina was a wonderful sitter for my two cats while my partner and I were away on a trip. She went above and beyond, frequently scooping their litter, playing with our energetic kitty, and checking in on our shy girl and taking her picture in her hiding spot. We looked forward to her updates (with the cutest pictures) everyday and she was super responsive and asked great questions when she needed to.

About: With over a decade of dedicated pet care experience, I've honed my skills as a compassionate caregiver. My journey began with my best friend, Franklin, a thirteen-year-old dog whose loyalty has taught me the true meaning of responsibility and empathy. From late-night walks to soothing belly rubs, I've embraced every moment, cherishing the bond we share. Ultimately, our animals aren't just pets; they're family. We treat them like family, spoil them like family, and love them like family. You can rely on me to go above and beyond for your furry friends! Rest assured, I am committed to providing your animals with the exceptional care they deserve, mirroring the love and attention I give my best friend. As a teacher, I cherish my breaks and am eager to fill them with something I'm genuinely passionate about, ensuring our pets live their happiest lives possible! In both my home and my clients' homes, I prioritize creating a nurturing environment where pets feel comfortable and loved. This includes regular feeding schedules, ample exercise tailored to their needs, and plenty of playtime and affection. Additionally, I am able to maintain open communication with pet owners to ensure their specific preferences and requirements are met.

About: I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by furry family members. I’ve had a variety of different dog breeds — especially those labeled “aggressive.” Because of this, I know every dog has a story and is capable of love regardless of how they’re stereotyped. All animals deserve the same love and kindness as I would give to my very own. I have some experience volunteering at my local humane society & dog sitting for family members & friends. I have no problem tailoring to your animals’ needs and I will treat them with the same love, respect, and adoration that I have for my own fur babies. While seeking a job, my schedule is mostly flexible with the exception of some time to take care of my own dog. During the school year, I am a junior accounting student at the University of Northern Iowa. As my schedule gets busier, I am a great communicator and will dedicate the time & space to care for your pets or redirect you if I cannot give my all for your pets. When caring for your pet I expect to find food with instructions (feeding time, how much food, etc.), treats & how many they can have, toys or puzzles, and any other equipment you want me to use when looking after your furry friend. Please do not hesitate to share any boundaries or silly rituals that your pet requires.

Liz did an amazing job with my fur baby Dior. She Mae sure Dior was comfortable with her and gave her lots of love, play time and cuddle time. She noticed that Dior was not eating and she tried everything she could to get her to eat and it worked. Dior fell in love with Liz and her wife. Liz brung along her wife that also keep Dior company with cuddles. They are very nice people. Liz came to my home at did drop in visits with Dior and Dior fell in love with Liz and her wife. I was able to peek in on visits with my ring cam and Dior cried out for Liz each time she left. So Liz came up with a great idea to keep Dior occupied while she was able to leave. She also will discipline Dior when she needed correction on any behavior. Overall, I would recommend Liz and you can trust her in your home. She also arranged for visits with such a short notice. Thank you LIZ and wife!!!!!!!!!

About: I have been a dedicated dog lover and caregiver for as long as I can remember. My experience ranges from raising my own beloved Boxers in the past to regularly working with a wide variety of breeds and sizes. Because I used to own Boxers, I am very experienced with high-energy, medium-to-large dogs. However, I consistently work with dogs across the entire spectrum. This goes from larger breeds like English Mastiffs to small breeds like Terriers and Chihuahua mixes. Beyond my personal history with pets, I am a certified Humane Society volunteer. Whether your dog is high-energy or a just likes to chill, I am committed to providing a safe, fun, and reliable environment tailored to their specific needs. I am fully comfortable administering medications (with provided instructions) and am experienced with most harness types. I also love sending photo and video updates so you can see exactly how your pup is doing! My schedule is currently limited as I finish my senior year, but I will have much more flexibility starting in June! During the summer, I will be balancing pet care with some part-time babysitting and occasional family trips. I am very diligent about keeping my booking calendar up to date, so please check my specific availability for your dates. I love spending my free time making sure your pups get plenty of exercise and attention! I will take great care to follow your specific house rules and keep your pets comfortable in their own space. I make it a point to double-check that all doors and gates are locked and that your dog is always secure on their leash during outdoor time. My goal is to maintain your pet's normal routine while giving you peace of mind with regular photo updates and clear communication throughout the stay.

About: While my work schedule doesn’t allow me to have a pet, I’ve dog sat for family friends, taken my friend’s dogs for walks when, and have even spent a few days checking in on turtles, chickens, and a cat while their owners were on vacation! Looking forward to get to know more pets in the Cedar Valley! I travel a bit for work so parts of the year can be a bit busy but am almost always home and available during the holidays and weekends! Willing to learn and be as patient as needed to help a pet feel as comfortable as possible! Can walk in any weather and take pretty good pet selfies!
