Pet Sitting in Centerdale

“This was our first time using Rover and Katie was AMAZING! She was extra patient with our hesitant kitten and by the second visit, they were already best buds. She was reliable, took extra cute pictures, provided updates, and made sure our kitten had clean litter, and fresh food and water every visit. We really appreciate being able to enjoy our time away knowing that Katie was taking care of her. We can’t recommend her enough!”

About: I’ve had experience caring for dogs and cats since I was young. Neighbors, friends, family, and community members have counted on me for caring and detail-oriented pet care. I have plenty of time to care for your pets. I am available Sunday through Wednesday, and can be available Thursday through Saturday with advance notice. I can care for your pets in your home. I will treat your home with utmost respect, as if it were my own, keeping a clean and tidy environment that your pet feels comfortable in!

About: I am a lifelong dog owner and hospital pet therapy volunteer. Through friends and family, I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages. I have remained active in retirement by walking my own dog roughly 2-3 miles a day. As a retired elementary teacher I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time to devote to your dog. I don't believe in rushing visits or simply stopping by. I enjoy spending meaningful time with each dog to make sure they are happy and comfortable. I am available for home visits and dog walking. I currently own one dog and live in a condo so do not have a fenced in yard. I make sure to walk my dog at least four times a day. She is free to roam the entire house but will put herself in the basement during storms or fireworks.

About: I’ve taken care and owned dogs and cats of every kind since for about the past 10 years! Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets I am a college student home for the summer with a very open and flexible schedule. I am able to care for pets starting around 10 am most days! I am able to feed and bathe pets in my clients home. I am also available to walk dogs around in local neighborhoods or trails!

About: Lived with dogs for 20 years, cats for almost 10. Worked with dogs and cats for 5 years as a sitter/walker unprofessionally. Looking to watch friendly animals looking for a companion! I work part time with short shifts in a local shop, so i’m available often and rarely out of town/completely booked. Willing to do 3+ visits daily depending on location and distance / additional fees on top. Not available to care for pets in home. Can do home visits to feed, water, walk, administer care/med routines (when informed ahead of time with proper instruction), and just chill with animals of all kinds and sizes.

“Sarah sent me pictures of my cat every day! She was even kind enough to move our delivered packages inside our house! I highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs and cats for as long as I can remember, as well as a bunny. My friends and family members rely on me to take care of their animals and give them lots of love! I am experienced with any sized animal with any level of training!! I’m here to ensure your animal(s) is happy and healthy! I am available all weekend to hangout with your animal! I have two-three classes a day during the weekdays. However, they are spread out to where I can feed/relieve/walk a pet in between classes. I am early riser who normally wakes up around 6:30am and am happy to spend the whole morning playing with a furry friend! I have a very friendly cat, named Luna, who love to play with other animals. I have two big crates and a play pen for puppies. Feeding, playing, and cleaning up after animals is something I do on a daily basis! I regularly visit home to watch my bulldog and my brother’s lab!

“Lindsey is great! She’s super reliable and responsible, and our pups really like her. I always rest easy when we are away, knowing the pets will be well taken care of.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve had dogs since I was in second grade all the way through adulthood, and I was very involved in their care—everything from daily walks to training. In high school, I even took my dog to the county fair for dog shows and attended weekly training classes, which gave me a strong understanding of behavior, patience, and positive reinforcement. More recently, I lived with a dog that I cared for daily, and I truly miss having that companionship—so I’d love to give that same care and attention to your pet! I currently have cats, so I’m very comfortable with both dog and cat personalities, routines, and needs. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away—and to give you total peace of mind. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I prioritize clear, consistent communication. You can expect regular updates, photos, and little check-ins so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing and getting attention, I’ll match their energy and treat them like they’re my own. I’d love to meet you and your pet! 🐾 I’m a reliable and flexible pet sitter with a schedule that allows me to offer consistent care and plenty of availability for drop-ins, walks, and visits. I typically work shifts from 11–8pm, 12–8pm, 1–9pm, and 10–2:30pm, which means I’m often available in the mornings, late evenings, and during midday gaps. My schedule also varies at times—occasionally I finish work early or don’t get booked for midday shifts—so I’m frequently able to accommodate additional drop-ins or last-minute visits. I also have weekends completely off, which gives me full availability for weekend care, extended visits, or multiple check-ins per day. I understand how important consistency and reliability are when it comes to pet care, so I always do my best to be responsive, communicative, and dependable with scheduling. If I’m available, I’ll make it work—and if my schedule opens up more, I’m happy to offer extra care when needed. Feel free to reach out with your pet’s needs and I’ll do my best to accommodate! My top priorities as a pet sitter are safety, trust, and making sure your pet feels comfortable in their own environment while you’re away. I provide drop-ins, dog walks, and in-home pet sitting (I do not host pets in my own home), so your pet can stay in their familiar space and routine. I believe pets feel most secure when they’re in their own environment, and I do everything I can to keep that consistency intact. When I care for your pet, I treat your home with the same respect I would expect in mine. I’m careful, responsible, and mindful of both your space and your pet’s needs. I always follow instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, medication, walking routines, or special care preferences. Safety is very important to me, especially on walks and during visits. I pay close attention to surroundings, use secure handling at all times, and make sure your pet is always comfortable and safe in my care. My goal is to give you peace of mind and your pet reliable, loving care in the place they feel most at home!

“Sidney has always taken great care of our cat! She is very responsive via the app and is always in touch with us. I have felt that my cat always has the best care when we are away. I will definitely continue to re-book with Sidney!”

About: I have had my own pet sitting business since I was 10 and have watched and cared all different breeds and even cats! I have a lot of experience with large, high-energy hunting breeds and ensure that each pup gets enough exercise each day. My favs are the dog park and the beach! I also trained my golden retriever, Harper in agility! In my free time I love to volunteer at the animal shelter, to give back! So I have experience with pets with separation anxiety and those that aren’t friendly with other pets! I ensure all pet parents are updated with pictures and videos! I currently go to school in Iowa City and wanted to watch some pets over break! I am free for the entire break, Mid December-Mid January! Either in my home or the clients I keep a close eye on the pet! I ensure adequate exercise and keeping the pet out of trouble. When in the clients home I make sure that I am locking doors and can take care of other household chores like garbage, shoveling, and dishes!

“Hannah was amazing with our kitties and was able to manage a few unexpected hiccups that occurred while we were away. We greatly appreciated Hannah’s responsiveness, flexibility, and professionalism, and would not hesitate to ask her to watch our cats again. Thanks, Hannah!”

About: Paid through ISU business school by being a Live-In Dog "Manny" in exchange for free rent, took care of 5 dogs daily, and rotating foster pups through college. Very clean, responsible, punctual, and trustworthy, have been walking neighborhood pups daily for over 5 years, specializing in walks, feeding, check-in/drop-ins for all furry animals big or small. References available upon request. I work from home with a very flexible schedule, making it easy to run out and check in on your furry member of the family, whether in event of an emergency or daily scheduled visits or walks, whatever fits your needs I am here to help! I have a 6ft fenced in back yard filled with toys and an outdoor dog house for some shade during outdoor play time if your pup needs to stay over, plenty of food and fresh water available at all times, and a camera in the backyard if you wanted to check in on your furry best friend.

About: I have been the go-to neighborhood dog sitter ever since I was in junior high. Now I live in Iowa City with my husband and field retriever, Oakley, and am ready to continue opening my home to your pets! I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, personalities, and energy levels. I work from home, so I am here all day for your pet. My typical routine with Oakley includes a lunch time walk and a post work hike at Hickory Hill. I’d love to bring your pup along for these adventures but can also cater to your pups individual needs/preferences and adjust as needed! We have a fenced in yard as well for the pups to run around in. I work full time from home, so I am able to attend to your dog throughout the day as needed. I typically play fetch or tug or something or the sort with my pup in the morning, take her for a walk ~1 mi walk over lunch, and for a 1-2 hour hike after work. I can adjust the level of activity as needed to match what you’re looking for! I have a fenced in yard (standard chain link so not suited for high jumpers) and an active pup for your dog to play with! I am comfortable crating your dog or leaving free roaming, whatever is your preference and your routine!

“Reagan followed through and made two doggy visits during the time we were gone on a day trip. Her communication was great—pictures from both visits. We’d certainly ask her to come again.”

About: I have much enthusiasm for helping people and pets out, am experienced in babysitting, and work well when under pressure and memorize instructions very quickly! Recently graduated from undergrad, I’m currently a part time student at another university (fully online, only one class) so I have virtually all the free time these days ! I give my full attention to the pets, and I have a secure home with various ways for them to enjoy spending their time either playing or simply resting.
