Pet Sitting in Collins

“Jenevieve was fantastic and helped on short notice and did a fabulous job. She helped reassure that Albert was taken care of! I’d highly recommend her.”

“Angie is the best! She has done drop in visits for my two cats numerous times - most recently for 14 days while I was gone in a trip. When I got home my cats were calm and relaxed as if I hadn't been gone at all. Angie is very kind and well qualified to watch pets, she also brings in my mail and feeds the birds for me... I highly recommend her!!”

“My fur babies seemed very happy and content when I got home. Abby kept me informed and took great care of them.”

“Amy is wonderful pet sitter. She is very responsible and punctual. Amy asked a lot of details about my cat and how to care about him. It was very easy to communicate with her - she sent a report about each visit (with photos) and responded promptly and in detail. I recommend her as a pet sitter.”

“Ashley was wonderful! She was able to take care of our pups on short notice and sent tons of pictures! Our dogs loved her and she took great care and played lots of fetch! I absolutely recommend her and will be using her again!”

About: I worked at a veterinarian center for 2 years, and have 15+ years of experience with pets. I absolutely love animals and can’t wait to meet yours! I am currently working part time so i’ll have plenty of time to play and take care of your baby’s. I love going on walks with them and they will be able to snuggle up right next to me at night! I have a lawn outside and a great walking route where i live. I also have space for your doggies to sleep, play and hang out!

“Danielle does a great job. She took wonderful care of our senior pup and gave him extra love when he seemed sad. She is great at communicating with you, and we would not hesitate to have her sit with him again.”

Sue N.

“Katie does a great job communicating with us throughout the process - all the way from booking to after her visit with our dogs have ended. She is very accommodating and helpful, and we truly appreciated being able to trust her with our two furry family members! It helped make our stays away from home much less stressful!”

About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities — from playful puppies to gentle seniors, energetic large breeds to cuddly lap dogs. Whether it’s feeding, walking, administering medication, or just providing a safe and loving environment, I treat every dog like they’re my own. I love creating routines that make pets feel comfortable and happy, whether that’s a brisk morning walk, a game of fetch, or just curling up for a snuggle. I also have a 1.5-year-old mini Goldendoodle who I absolutely adore, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family member! I am currently on summer break, so I am pretty flexible! When school starts back up, I will typically only be available in the evenings! Whether your furry friend is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, I strive to create a calm, loving, and secure environment that mirrors their routine and makes them feel right at home. In my home, pets are supervised closely, given plenty of love, and kept in a clean, safe space that’s free of hazards. I only accept a limited number of dogs at a time to ensure each one gets personalized care and attention. My own pup is friendly, fully vaccinated, and always supervised during any interactions. In your home, I respect your space and follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, from feeding schedules to walk routes and bedtime habits. I provide regular updates with photos and always keep communication open, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. No matter where I’m caring for your pet, you can count on a trustworthy, responsible sitter who treats your dog like family.

About: I have owned pets my entire life and have experience in caring for both dogs and cats. I am currently an animal science: pre-veterinary major and have a passion for taking care of animals. I am experienced in giving medications and following instructions from the owner of the specific ways they want their pet cared for. I also have previously cared for senior pets. I am currently a student athlete at Iowa State University. I am available for drop-in visits during weekdays and weekends. Additionally, I can do overnight visits on the weekends. I am flexible with my schedule, however, and can make accommodations for your pets needs! In order to care for your pet best, I will communicate with you on walking schedules, medications, and any other accommodations. I have experience giving medications such as pills, eye drops, ear drops, and ear cleaning solutions. I am more than willing to work with the owner on special care and welcome instruction.

“Talia was great and pleasant to meet. She was on time and reliable and took great pictures of the dogs. We will try to work with her again in the future!”

Noah L.

“Jeanette was amazing! There are very few people I will leave my baby boy with. She did amazing. She was willing to come and meet him and he is high strung but she was still willing to deal with his size and personality. We will be requesting her if we need again.”

Katie C.

“Super great pet care!! Each check in was described well and I got photos of my pets each time. She even met me an extra time so I could hand over my keys before leaving, and was super understanding when I forgot to send a delivery code once! I felt like my pets were in great hands!”

About: I’ve taken care of my family’s, friends', and neighbors' cats and dogs since I was a child. I have a knack for getting even the most nervous of pets to feel comfortable around me and most of my friends consider me as their pet’s "cool aunt". I am comfortable with small and large dogs and cats, and I always strive to keep the minds of the pets I’m watching stimulated and engaged. With me, your pet will never miss out on snuggles and play time. I am also familiar with geriatric and disabled pets and I am comfortable giving oral medication. I am currently a graduate student finishing up my master’s degree in wildlife ecology, so I have a fairly flexible schedule at the moment. This means that I will have time to prioritize your pet’s care. While I cannot care for pets in my own home, I will gladly come to yours. I am comfortable preparing food, feeding, and giving oral medication to your pet. Additionally, I will gladly keep up with any ongoing training you are already doing with your pet while you are gone.

About: My pets are indoors AND outside because I have safe, pet friendly, separated or joined, sheltered, natural areas where we can all unwind on my seven acres. I'm a retiree who devotes all my time to my grandkids, animals and hobbies. Your pets' needs are provided for at all times whether they are here for a day, week or month as they are included in our family activities. Pets are kept separated or allowed to play together depending on their needs. I provide crates, mats, kennels and even my bed for peaceful sleeping.

About: I have 4 years of pet care experience, from puppies to seniors. I’m a recent grad with a flexible schedule—reliable, energetic, and ready for last-minute needs. I work a couple evenings during the week, but I’m free most mornings and afternoons. My flexible schedule allows me to give pets consistent, focused care and attention. I respect each owner’s boundaries and follow all routines to ensure pets feel safe and at ease. Whether I’m keeping your home tidy and secure while you’re away or walking your dog with care and intention, I’m fully invested in your pet’s health, happiness, and overall well-being.

“Jessica was great she gave awesome updates and had my dog who is terrified of everything warming up to her. I’d highly recommend!”

About: I'm a walking enthusiast who spends time outside wind, rain, snow, or sunshine. I'm a past dog owner who wants to help you keep your pup healthy, active, and happy. I'm ready to get to walking or sitting your pup! I'm located in Nevada, IA, but I will travel to the surrounding area for house-sitting. I'm out walking on the daily. I'm ready and willing to add a tag-along dog friend to make my walking extra special. I will take care of your dog like my own, whether keeping your schedule for house-sitting or dropping in to let them out. Walks are by far my favorite activity when I'm with them! I am willing to house-sit, drop in, and/or walk your pup, but at this time, I am not considering caring for them in my home. If you choose to have me take care of your dog, I will do my absolute best to keep them clean and happy.

About: I am an absolute dog lover and your dog will be spoiled when in my care. I have two dogs of my own who love to play and are great with all other dogs. My fenced in yard will allow your dog to play outside for as long as they want to. They can then come inside to unwind and relax. Dogs are allowed on my furniture and anywhere in the house they find comfortable. I have lots of toys and treats too! Please message me with any special requests as I may be able to do things outside of what is listed on my profile. I look forward to meeting you and your doggies! I have a flexible schedule so I may be able to accommodate hours outside of what is listed on my profile so please message me with special requests. I have a fenced in back yard and two dogs of my own who love to play. Inside my home, dogs are able to roam as they please. I have room for kennels if your dog is accustomed to that for boarding stays. Dogs have 24 hour access to water.

“Janessa was so great with our three girls! She communicated well, spent plenty of quality time with the girls during the drop-in visit, and sent us adorable pictures. This was our first experience with Rover and we are so glad we chose Janessa. We highly recommend her!”
