“Thank you so so much Erik for helping us out! you saved our day:) We're so happy you were able to attend to our little one and sent us the photos! Genuinely we appreciate your effort!”



“I was out of town for 3 days, & Jena watched my cat, Bella. I work from home, so she’s not used to having other people take care of her, so I was a bit nervous. But Jena was excellent. She provided great communication the entire time & went above and beyond to ensure Bella & I were both comfortable. She even brought her over some mice to play with & sent extra videos/pictures, which really helped to sooth my nerves. I couldn’t recommend Jena enough ☺️ I could tell Bella was very happy.”


“This was our second time using them to watch our animals, they just watched our cats this time & they did a great job! They regularly kept us up to date with pictures & took the time to give them some lovings & play time on top of keeping the litter boxes clean & feeding them. They're definitely one of our regulars now that we'll always trust with our babies!”


“Maddie took excellent care of my babies! Highly recommend for anyone who appreciates someone who will give attention to the smallest details. She will take care of your pets as if they are her own.”


“Wow, Amanda really did such an amazing job. Bear and James loved having her around! She followed all the instructions and went above and beyond. I appreciate you, Amanda! THANK YOU!!”


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.

“Jeanette was amazing and very flexible given my short notice on booking her. She took really great care of my dog and I will definitely be booking with her again in the future! Communication was on point and she followed all of my instructions to a T. Cannot recommend her enough!”


“This is the second time we’ve used Nora. We have three dogs, so it’s quite a bit of juggling! We totally appreciate all the help she has done with feeding, letting out, and pills. We will use her again!”


About: Dani and I own & operate Love For Your Pup. We are huge fans of pets, scratches, and snuggles so your pup will be the recipient of plenty of attention. Every K-9 has a different personality, and Dani loves to get to know each one we care for. More importantly, she loves making our guests feel like they’re at home by providing lots cuddles, play time, and even a relaxing bath and nail trim (additional fees apply). Our work schedules afford us significant time at home, so rest assured, your pet will get plenty of attention. Our aim is to provide a loving and safe environment for your fur baby to relax and play while you are away. When we’re not at work (Dani works 5 hours a day away from home), we’re at home and include our pups and furry guests in our daily routine. We tailor meal times to your normal routine to help reduce stress. We offer early and late pick up and drop off options to make it as convenient as possible for you. Schedule your pick up or drop off between 6am - 10pm. We have 5000+ square feet of fenced space that your furry friend can roam or a 10’ x 10’ outdoor kennel for pups that are less social and/or prefer a private nap area. We keep our gates locked, monitor our premises via multiple indoor and outdoor security cameras, and maintain a remote monitored alarm system for your furry friend’s security. You are welcome to bring toys, a blanket, pillow and/or anything else to help them feel at home. Last but certainly not least, we’ll gladly send you pictures during the stay to help ease any separation anxiety you may be experiencing and even provide a link to a shared drive with all of the photos from their stay.

About: I have my associates degree in Veterinary Technology! I previously have worked at dog/cat boarding facilities, and vet clinics. I have had dogs, cats, & goats throughout my life! I currently have my dog living with me here in Cedar Rapids, & 2 cats back in Indiana living with my parents. I am comfortable with any size dog & weight. I am also comfortable with medications if necessary! I am currently unemployed so I have all the time in the day or night for whatever your pet needs! I am very comfortable with whatever your pet needs whether it’s constant attention & playing for 2 hours, or even the ones who prefer to have their own space & only need check ins. Whatever your pet needs I am happy to provide! My dog is spoiled to the max & I ensure your pet will receive the same treatment! I am down for just opening a door to let them out in their backyard or walks around their neighborhood!

Thank you to kinzley for watching my sweet Sunny at the last minute for me while I was having a surgery, and for checking in on him and walking him while I recover from surgery. Kinzley was wonderful! Excellent at communicating, sent pictures to me, and was on time as well for drop ins. I highly recommend kinzley for watching over your pets. My sweet Sunny loved kinzley too! Kinzley loves all animals and was wonderful to sunny too! I will definitely have kinzley watch over sunny again.
