Pet Sitting in Cedar Rapids

“Jena is the BEST! She eased my anxiety while leaving my two month old kitten for the first time! Sent plenty of pictures and personalized messages during each drop in! Made it so much easier to enjoy my vacation and not have to stress or worry about my fur baby at home. Definitely will be using her again. ?”

“Thank you very much Erik for taking care of my babies! I will definitely contact you when I need a sitter!”

“Amanda was kind, a true pet lover, and very timely. She was patient with my cat who is a little more timid, and seemed to bond with the more spunky one! She opened the door and let them on our porch for fresh air, just as I had recommended. Amanda sent great updates on the app and I loved the photos. It seems like she cared and wanted them to be comfortable. Thank you, Amanda!”

“Brandon and Brianna always do a great job for us!”

“Michaela is a fantastic puppy sitter! She was prompt, loves animals and was so compassionate with our pups. I’m sure they can’t wait for her to watch them again!”

“Jordan did a great job looking after our cat over the holiday. Her photo updates put me at ease, and the attention and affection she gave to him was very much appreciated.”

“Amanda took great care of our little old man, Oscar! We’re so grateful that she cleaned up after him and made sure he got his daily probiotic. We would absolutely recommend her for cat sitting.”

“Linda took good care of my dogs and was tentative to giving our senior her meds. Thank you! Would definitely recommend Linda!”

“Thank you so much Carol. Hank and Harper were very excited to see you! It is such a great feeling to know they are so loved when you are here with them.”

“Becca cares for animals deeply and treats them as if they were actually part of her family. I could not think of a better person to care for your animals.”

“Shelley did a fantastic job watching after our two cats. Her daily pictures and detailed updates gave us all the confidence we needed to enjoy our vacation worry-free. We will be booking her again in the future!”

About: I’ve dog sat for multiple family friends over the years. I’ve been around puppies to adult dogs and experienced dogs with medical issues or just ones that want to walk constantly! I am mostly free on weekends, can do early morning walks during the weekday or evenings. But weekends are most free for me. I love helping people out as much as I can and love that this is an alternative to boarding your dog. I am able to watch dogs/cats in the safety and comfort of their own home. I live in a home with three cats myself, and while I understand it is nice to have your pets go somewhere, I also know keeping them in their familiar environment can also be very beneficial.

About: Currently, I have two special needs cats, ages 6 and 15. In managing all stages of their care, I've learned the ins and out of giving medication, driving to various vet appointments, and providing the extra love and affection that they deserve! I come from a dog family. We've always had at least one dog, but most often two. I’ve had a helping hand in walking them, giving medication, and taking to vets (including in emergency situations). Full-time professional, I split Monday through Friday between Cedar Rapids and Iowa City, with Mondays and Fridays working from home. With ample notice, I can rearrange my schedule to best fit yours. I look to the owner to provide the tips and tricks for their furry loved ones. Each pet is unique in how they like to be treated. Some are shy, some are energetic and escape artists, and I work to ensure I meet them at their level. Generally, I strive to ensure their environment is clean as possible, their food and water filled quickly, and that they receive some sort of affection/play (unless they are shy). I want to provide your pet the calmest and most pleasant experience until their owner(s) return.

“Kylie watched over my cat while I was away for a week and took good care of him. He is indoor outdoor so she was willing to come check on him extra on days he wasn’t turning up at home right away.”

“Nathan is probably the best pet giver I have met. He truly cares about his pets. He has 2 amazing dogs who he loves more than anything. He loves any animal. He has been around animals his whole life.”

“Jessica did an excellent job dropping in 5 times a day to take care of our crabby 14 year old toy poodle. She gave her medications 4 times a day and sent pictures regularly. We highly recommend her.”

“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”

“Natalie did so good with dogs. Even if my one dog wanted nothing to do with her ?”

“Alison is a life saver! I unexpectedly had to stay at work a lot longer than planned and wasn’t going to be able to be home in time for my dog’s feeding time. Alison was able to do a drop in visit within an hour of reaching out! Took the kiddos out, fed, and gave them treats- if she hadn’t dropped in, I would have felt terrible. So grateful for her!”

“Sara was great with my dogs! I have three bigger dogs, husky mixes, and they have a LOT of energy. I got updates every time she stopped by to let them out and they always looked happy! Will definitely be a repeat customer when I go out of town again!”
