Dog Sitting in Cedar Rapids

“We were extremely happy with the care Amanda provided for our three cats, one of which required an insulin injection twice a day. It was rather short notice on our part due to a sitter canceling. Amanda did everything we asked, and then some — and provided photos and reports after each visit, which added to our peace of mind. I suspect she is an animal whisperer because our very shy girl cat made several appearances, which is rare. Thank you Amanda!”

About: **I am NOT available for overnight Cat sitting. Drop ins are fine 🙏🏼 I am patient and attentive. I love to be active, so the attention that your dog needs will be received, while being assertive in behavioral boundaries. I am trustworthy and responsible. I have experience with dog walking and obedience training. I've owned a English Mastiff, Pitbull, Boxer, Chihuahua, and currently a Husky/Malamute mix, Banks. My specialty would be larger dogs that live in a smaller household that need to release their energy. Yet I can be relaxed and hang with the smallest, oldest, or laziest of the bunch :) My dog is always guaranteed two+ walks a day (weather permitting of course), as well as recall training. It literally takes 3 mins of my time to play these types of games with him and he LOVES IT! I make sure to adjust my schedule so that he is always considered! His happiness is my happiness. I move slowly and respectfully when I'm meeting a new fuzzy friend, especially in their home. This gives me the opportunity to watch them closely and learn their unique character and adjust myself to meet them.

“Jamie was super helpful and sweet with our dogs. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable drop in or dog walker.”

About: I’ve had a dog in my life since the day I was born. I love to spend time with dogs by going for walks or car rides (if the owner allows it of course!) I have a cat and a dog of my own that I care for daily. All the usuals like feeding, letting outside, cleaning the litter box, but I also love to take my dog for walks and car rides or play with her in the back yard. I have so much fun playing with my cat and just giving him love! I’m usually very good about being able to let dogs out every couple of hours and love to hang out for a while to keep your pets company while you’re away!

“Mia is very friendly and responded very quickly to my messages, we had some last minute things and she was able to help us out. She obviously loves dogs too! And my dogs love her! I would highly recommend Mia!”

“Erin was amazing with our dog! She was extremely responsive and helped us with any questions we had for her! She also was willing to go the extra mile and travel a bit farther than other potential sitters. I will definitely hire her again and recommend Erin to others in need of a doggo sitter.”

About: My passion for animals started at a young age. I grew up on a hobby farm and have cared for all sorts of animals. My fur baby Lucy passed away in December at age 12. The cat distribution system blessed me with a kitten, Shadow. I am a fulltime student so I am available to care for your fur babies after 3pm during the week and open on the weekends. It is a privilege to be entrusted to care for your fur child. My top priority is your pet's safety and well being. Through building trust and adhering to their routine, you can rest assured that they are in good hands.

“Ashley did two drop in visits with my pup when I was visiting Cedar Rapids for work. She was on time for the appointments and spent the full 30 minutes with him. I will use her again the next time I’m in town”

About: Family and Friends have called me the “dog whisperer”, because I am able to connect with their pets so easily. I feel pets are such a big part of your family; your baby, your little one, or your child almost. You would be entrusting me with the care of this most precious part of your family. I love to be down on the floor giving the fur babies my undivided attention … whether it be petting, playing, belly scratching, brushing, or loving on your fur baby. I Love to be face-to-face and making a connection with the pets. I am also a walker myself, so I I love to be outside walking your pets. I work from home and my schedule is extremely flexible. My schedule is able to be put on hold for periods of time, if more time and attention are required or needed. I am able to leave to walk your fur baby, pet-sit at your place, or take care of your fur baby at my home. Pet care is as on-hands and giving as much attention to your fur baby as you wish. I am ready to love them as much as they want and need. I do live in an apartment with places surrounding the building to take dogs outside to potty. There is a new dog park just a block from where I reside. My building is a secure building that is locked with cameras everywhere in the hallways. There are long hallways in my building with very few residents and lots of room to run inside when weather outside is not good. I am able to leave as often as needed to walk dogs. Also, I am able to care for your fur babies in their own home or at my residence.

About: A happy pet is a happy house! They are the mainstay of our homes and caring for them gives me so much joy! I care for multiple dogs and cats as my friends and family need! I have a lot of experience with feeding, walking, playing, bathing etc.I have been in pet care for over 20 years and taken care of many pets with a variety of needs. I understand pets have their own unique personalities and need different care/attention to make them be there best! I would love to be able to care for your pet and I will gladly help give them what they need to be happy and healthy while you’re away I work full time at a tennis facility but my hours make sure that pups get morning and afternoon walks just fine! (Plus tennis balls!) I am more than willing to care for and accommodate basic pet needs as well as more complicated ones. I prefer care be written down somewhere for later reference if needed. Water will always be full and available and anything that may cause harm to your pet (wires, small or sharp objects, etc) will be out of reach or inaccessible to your pet through height/doors/secured areas.

“Ashleigh is an absolute delight! I Invited her into my home and put her in charge of Missy's care with all the confidence that Ashleigh will take great care of both. She is positive, delightful, caring, kind and considerate. I trust her with my most precious things! Thank you, Ashleigh.”

“Oriana came and watched our dog in a somewhat-emergency, last-minute, unreasonable request. She did an amazing job, our dog seemed to like her, and we are more than happy with the result!”

“Torilynn did a great job with our Bubba boy! Hes normally a bit much for new babysitters but he seemed to develop a bond with her immediately. Great job!”

About: I am passionate about giving my pets the love and care they deserve and require. Pets are a huge commitment and sometimes that means you need someone else to come in and help take care of them! I have four cats of my own, all varying ages and temperaments, that are so spoiled. I also have cared for dogs, but I am passionate about my feline friends! I work full time from 7am-5pm Monday through Thursday, so I’m a great option for a weekend sitter or evenings/overnights. I am willing to come early in the morning as well! I have a fenced in yard, as well as multiple rooms that I can keep your pet in with the door closed if you’d like them to be away from my cats. If I am in your home, I will respect your space and follow any boundaries you may set.

About: I love pets and I will take care of yours as if they’re my own! I have been around pets of all kinds my whole life; I can adapt my care to various needs because I know every pet is different! I was raised in a home with two cats and two dogs, so it was a small zoo! It was at a young age that I learned how to clean a litter box and how to clean up the dog waste in the yard, so nothing like that scares me off! I also have been taking care of others' pets since I was in elementary school! Primarily, my pet care experience has been with cats and dogs, but I have no trouble following instructions if you have a different kind of pet! I'd love the chance to love your pets! My current work hours fluctuate right now, but my current availability is: Mon-Thur as early as you need me until 3:45pm. I'm available after 9pm. Friday is entirely available Saturday I'm working 10am-2:30pm. Sunday is entirely available I always make sure to respect an animal’s space and boundaries until they clearly indicate they are comfortable with me. I never assume an animal is friendly until they show it!

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I can remember, whether it was feeding, walking, and bathing dogs. I’ve always loved cats. Some even call me the cat whisperer.

They have many toys and get treat’s every morning and on Sunday’s get a special diner. I play with them every night before bed. I do prefer to be paid by venmo or cash.

About: I’ve been working with animals since I was a little girl. We always had animals in our house & I have been a pet sitter for many years. I have experience with dogs, cats, lizards, fish, & smaller animals like hamsters. I love animals of every kind & having many of my own, I understand how important it is to trust who is taking care of your pets. I am currently working full time but my schedule is very flexible so I am able to move things around to accommodate when it is needed. Having pets of my own, I understand different tasks are needed. My services are walks, feeding, watering, letting outside, cleaning up after pets, baths, and pretty much anything needed!
