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 a travel agent that works from home. My schedule is extremely flexible! I am very comfortable with whatever your pet needs whether it’s ones who require constant attention & playing for an hour, or ones who prefer to have their own space. 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, watching their favorite movie from the couch, playing with their toys, or strolls around their neighborhood!
About: I started house/baby/pet-sitting right our of high school. We have 4 cats of our own and have fostered several others. I provide attentive, loving care and always treat pets like family, because they are. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, clean and make sure your fur-baby feels safe and happy while you're away. I stick closely to their routine if requested, give lots of playtime, and keep you updated with photos and messages. Whether it's walks, feeding, or just good company, I’m here to give your pet the care they deserve. I'm a responsible adult and will care about your pets AND your space as if it's my own. I want you to come home from your travels to things having been taken care of and clean, with attention to details: cleaned bowls, clean litter boxes and floors swept. I'm currently own my own business, so pet care fits easily into my routine because I have a flexible schedule and can adapt to your pet’s needs. I'm available most days to provide consistent, loving care. I make sure each visit is focused, stress-free, and tailored to your pet’s routine so they feel safe and happy while you're away. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality, preferences, and needs—whether that’s feeding, playtime, walks, or quiet companionship. For overnight stays, I make sure they feel safe and comforted throughout the night, sticking closely to their usual schedule. During drop-in visits, I give them focused attention, clean up after them, and always make sure they’re happy and comfortable before I leave. I also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Amanda had good communication letting me know how my cats were doing, took pictures of the cats, and let me know if any changes to her schedule. One of my cats needs oral medication and she did a great job finding the cat and giving her the meds (not an easy task to actually find the cat). I would hire Amanda in the future and highly recommend!”


About: I've had animals in my family since I was a kid so I am very familiar and comfortable around all sorts of animals. I have cared for dogs of all sizes. Such as Shia tzus, Golden Retrievers, Australian Shepards, and German Shepards.I have experience giving a cat insulin and providing medicine day and night to both dogs and cats. I have taken care of puppies and older dogs. I have stayed the night at friend's houses when pet sitting and I have no fears of any kind of animal. I am currently not working so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I do play pickleball about 5 times a week and workout but those are activities that can be moved around to best fit your schedule. Pickleball is only about 3 hours of my day so it won't interfere with any pet duties I may have. In my home we use a company called Halo to keep my dog in my lawn so I am familiar with electric fences its technology. I always stay outside when letting my dog out for the bathroom and know how to work a leash when talking them on walks. I clean litter boxes and pick up poop. I have experience taking care of pets in their home but since I have animals of my own and no fence, I will not be available to take care of pets in my home.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs/cats of my own, my families dogs/cats and friends dogs since I was a kid. I have experience in young and old dogs/cats. One of my dogs required a lot of medical care that I was able to provide in the comfort of our own home! I work full time for the fire department, working 24 hour shifts and my schedule rotates. I will not watch your animals while I’m working. When I am not working and I’m watching your animal, there will be lots of play time, outside time, walks and cuddling! I own my home with a fenced in privacy fence. I live with a roommate and we split the house using upstairs and downstairs. Upstairs is where I live to have direct access to the backyard; I do have a friendly dog in the home that loves to meet new friends! If needed, my dog will stay at my families house if the animals cannot be together. Downstairs is separated but there is a nice, pleasant, playful cat there. There would be no interaction between the animals due to being separated.
“Carol does a wonderful job of taking care of my Golden Retriever when I am gone. Carol sends pictures of Ruby to me daily! Ruby is 9 years old and loves the attention, doggy massages and “lap time” that Carol always provides. Carol is very responsible and I recommend her highly. 😁🐶”

“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: I’ve had dogs in my house while growing up and have helped take care of them. By letting them out walking them, teaching them tricks, and even taking them to the dog park. It’s become one of the things I love to do during my day. Recently I have gotten my own puppy and he is now 9 months old. Training him has been one of the highlights of my past year! I am currently working full time and have a couple days off during the week that I would love to spend time with your dogs. During the spring and summer I will be more available for watching and taking care of pups! I will make sure to help out in your home respectfully and ensure your dog’s safety while under my supervision and care. Abiding by the rules that you set in your home.
About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life and have two spoiled pups of my own. I offer attentive, loving care—treating every dog like they’re part of my family! Though I work full-time during the week, I’m available on most weekends and can check in on weeknights after 7, providing consistent care for your pet. In my home, pets will enjoy a fenced backyard, playtime with my two dogs, plenty of toys, and an extra crate if needed for a safe, fun stay!
About: I love animals and spending time with them! Could take good care of a cat or a dog. Would happy to take dogs on a walk feed them and what ever else you need me to do! I used to own a cat myself. I have some free time and would enjoy doing something more productive then being on my phone especially if it’s helping other take care of their animals that they love! I prefer to take care of animals at clients home due to my moms allergies on fur. I love playing with dogs and cats and giving them attention and feeding them on time.
About: Dogs have been part of my life since childhood, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’ve owned and cared for both small and large breeds, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and care needs. I spent years volunteering with All Breed Rescue & Training in Colorado, where I gained experience supporting rescued dogs. For a year, I traveled across the country providing in-home pet care through TrustedHousesitters, staying with pets in exchange for room and board. This allowed me to care for dogs in many different homes, routines, and regions—learning how important consistency, communication, and trust are when owners are away. Today, I share my home with my own small dog, so I understand firsthand how much your pet means to you. Whether your dog needs playtime, structured walks, companionship, or just a calm and reliable presence, I treat every animal like they’re part of my family. I currently work remotely from home and have a flexible schedule. I am available for drop in visits and walks in the middle of the day and check in on your baby. I treat every dog like my own but also respect every dog's individual needs. Whatever approach or structure is needed to make your pet happy, I am happy to follow.
“Landon did great with our two dogs! He responded really quickly to my request and went above and beyond for our pups. We received photos and an update on who went potty, etc. Will be booking again 😊”

They will be crated whenever we are not home to ensure they’re safe unless they’re used to free roaming and won’t have accidents or be destructive.
About: I have from personal experience- to professional experience in different cultures, understanding and taking care both cats and dogs throughout the years. I've cared for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs, and I treat each one like part of my family. I'm patient, attentive, and make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and entertained while their owners are away. I have experience with different personalities and understand how to make shy pets comfortable and playful pets happy and engaged. My goal is always to give them a fun, stress-free time until you're back. I will be off soon to study at a college. Other than that, any time works for me. My personal schedule is very much flexible. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to follow their routines and respect their personalities.

In a client's home, I follow your instructions closely and treat your space with care, just as I would want for mine.
