About: I am a dog mom of two rescues and foster mom for medium sized dogs. My dogs are my babies and I love them like family. I understand the guilt of being away from your pet and I want to help your pet have company and fun adventures so they aren’t sad while you’re away! As a teacher I have a lot of flexibility during the summer and love to get outside and explore with four legged friends! I currently have summers off and have day time (7am - 3pm) availability most weekdays and can help on weekends as long as I have advanced notice. I have a fenced yard and my dogs are very social and sweet. I’m also happy to come let your pet out either to play in the yard or go for a walk to break up their day alone.
About: I treat every dog like my own and love creating routines that keep dogs happy, safe, and comfortable. Whether it’s sticking to their favorite walking route or making sure they get the right amount of play and rest, I pay close attention to each dog’s unique needs. I’m patient, dependable, and always focused on making your pup feel secure and loved while you're away. I'm currently working part-time on weekends at the hospital so I have plenty of time during the week to dedicate to pet care! I love spending time with animals, so this feels natural and rewarding. I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and stress free as possible. I follow all care instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, or medication needs—and I always make sure pets have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of love and attention.
“I’m so happy to have had Sarah care for and walk my two dogs. She made it so easy for me to relax when away from home and provided me just the right level of communication. I would highly recommend Sarah and will definitely hire her again next time.”
“Jason has been an absolute super star! My pups are loving their afternoon walks and extra cuddles with him while I’m in class. Jason is timely, professional and provides thorough updates after each of his walks with them. He took the time to make sure he knew all the nuances of taking care of my dogs. Highly recommend!”
About: I was raised in a home with lots of animals, dogs, cats and fish. My grandparents raised rabbits and birds. I was around pets domestic and exotic and love all creatures. My first job was pet sitting, my second was in a horse stable. I've had animals in my care my whole life. My day job is caring for humans as a nurse, I would love to say hi to your good boys and girls! I do work 4 days a week and so my schedule will be open around those hours. I don't mind waking up early, or staying up a little late. My noon hour availability is on my days off. Our dogs are herding breed and very active, so I am used to playing all of the games. I like to use positive reinforcement with all animals. I will treat your home with respect just like I do my own.
About: I’ve had dogs in the house since I was born, and began helping with large and small dogs since I was 8, and have had dogs that are my individual responsibility for over 6 years now I am able to fit my schedule around your pet, so it’s not a problem if you’ve got a pooch that needs some extra attention! As the care would be in your house, your pet won’t have to be stressed out by an unfamiliar environment and other pets, I am happy to speak to you to learn about, and meet, your pet beforehand, and I can stick to whatever schedule you already have put in place for your pet
About: I've grown up in a household that always had more than 5 pets at a time. Be it dogs or cats I've been around the bend and am well-trained with each one I meet. I'm a fast-learner and love caring for pets with unique personalities. I can also handle high-stress pets. I currently live with two cats and one guniea pig. Our youngest cat is high-stress and requires a lot of tending to when it comes to visitors. The other cat is very shy. With each of these cats I have a lot of patience. Throughout the day and beginning of my nights I'm familiar with giving the animals in my house lots of affection. I have also lived with and cared for dogs for over a decade. Plus, I am no stranger to giving pets medicine or additional care. I've lived with cats and dogs, young and old, along with a couple reptiles and many guniea pigs. I'm familiar with many practices relating to a pet's safety and trust. I like to ensure that the animal is comfortable and understood. I use patience when caring for high-stress animals and I know when to be extra gentle. I'm a fast-learner and adapt easily to various pets' feeding and exercise requirements. I like to keep my environment open and clean for the animal to enjoy to the fullest.
“Lily has been great with our 9 year old labradoodle, Junior! She communicates well, is flexible and dependable. She has been a wonderful help with our dog.”
“Marta is a wonderful sitter and my Baird absolutely loves her and Trevi!”
“Melissa and Joe are GREAT! They helped me so much during my recovery from knee surgery. They walked my dog Stella and she always came back smiling. They are great communicators, prompt, and always so polite. I will definitely keep them in mind for future needs.”
About: I have always had a dog be part of my family and I have always been a reliable pet sitter for family and friends. I have experience with both playful puppies and senior dogs. I understand that every dog has their own personality, quirks, and comfort zone-and I always adjust my care to meet their specific needs. I work from home and create my own schedule so I have a very flexible schedule to be able to take very good care of your furry friends! With my flexible schedule I can easily stick to your dog’s schedule to ensure that the transition into my care is smooth. I also have my own little dog who absolutely loves all dogs and will be so excited to meet your dogs!
About: I have had dogs for the majority of my life, both yellow labs. I especially love big dogs! I am skilled at reading dogs’ body language and matching their energy. I have experience giving medication to dogs and caring for puppies. I am a full time student at the University of Iowa. I do work part-time and am involved in several activities, but my schedule is often flexible. I am usually very free on weekends, and during the week varies on my schedule. I deeply value the safety and happiness of all animals. I always make sure to use leashes properly, confirm security of fences, keep dangerous materials out of their reach, encourage proper behavior, and of course provide so much love and attention.
About: Grew up on a farm and have loved animals ever since I can remember.Enjoy being around them and taking care of them. For the most part there has always been a dog & or cat in my household. Very patient so I think that comes in handy with all the different personalities that pets have. Being reliable is super important to me so if i say I'm going to do something or be there at a certain time its true 99% of the time. Currently have a cat and its hard for me to imagine not being around him every single day. If you let me take care of your pets they will be in great hands!! Work for my self mostly so I can set my own hours. An early riser, who wants to accomplish something new every single day. Plan my schedule out 2 weeks in advance I don't take care of pets in my home because I rent my place out for airbnb. Enjoy going to new places to see new pets
“Lauren is great! She is very responsive and did a meet and greet! She was also great with my dog who can be nervous around new people! 10/10 would recommend 🙂”
About: Hey, it’s lovely to meet you! I’m Skylynn! But my friends call me Cielo :) From cuddly kittens to wise old pups, pets have been part of my world since I could walk! I’ve shared my life with dogs and cats through every stage—from zooming-around-the-house puppies to sweet seniors who just want a comfy nap buddy. But my care goes far beyond food bowls and leashes! I tailor walks and playtime to match each pet’s energy, keep a close eye on special diets, and gently handle medications and supplements when needed. I even handle brushing and nail trims to help your furry little fur ball feel their best! I’m all about making pets feel safe, loved, and happy! Whether they’re shy, spunky, cuddly, or curious, I tune into their emotional needs—offering play, snuggles, and calm companionship that makes them feel right at home. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me for years because I treat every pet like family—because to me, they are! And the love doesn’t stop at cats and dogs! I’ve also grown up around horses, cows, and reptiles, giving me a well-rounded understanding of animals big, small, and scaly! No matter who I’m caring for, I bring kindness, patience, and a whole lot of heart to every visit! (También hablo español :) I work part-time with mostly short morning shifts—so pet care fits perfectly into my day! I have plenty of time in the afternoons, evenings, and even weekends to give your four-legged-ball-of-joy the attention they deserve. Whether it’s a midday walk, dinner and snuggles, or a weekend playdate, I’ve got the time (and the love!) to spare. Caring for animals brings me so much joy—it never feels like “extra” work, just the best part of my day! 🐾💛 I choose to care for pets in their own home, because my #1 goal is to make everything feel just right—for both you and your fluffy buddy! I follow your instructions closely to keep routines familiar and stress-free. Whether it’s feeding schedules, walk times, favorite toys, or cozy sleeping spots, I make sure your pet feels safe, secure, and totally at ease! I treat your home with the same respect and care I give your pet. Clean, tidy, and trustworthy is the name of my game! I always double-check doors, gates, and anything safety-related to make sure your pet stays secure and happy while you’re away. You can count on regular updates (and cute photos, of course!) so you know your pet is in loving hands. Familiar smells, their own bed, and a loving sitter? That’s a recipe for tail wags and purrs all around!
About: I have taken care of dogs, pigs, chickens, cats, birds and fish for my family and for friends. I also have a Persian senior cat at home :) I am currently unemployed so I am available most of the time other than taking care of my family. I am looking for check ins, I can feed, walk, play, etc. and clean up after animals. I don’t mind multiple animals at one time. I go on long walks every day now and need a partner! I love older animals as well as babies. I have come to raise kittens and puppies and help teach potty training and good manners. Tricks too.

Skylynn P.
“seriously can’t say enough good things about Skylynn! She watched my senior Boxer, Ruger, while I was out of town, and I don’t think I’ve ever felt so at ease leaving him with someone. She stayed overnight in my home, which made a huge difference for Ruger since he’s older and really just does best in his own space and routine. From the moment she met him, she was so gentle and kind with him—it was clear she’s a true dog lover. She kept in constant contact with me the whole time—sending updates, sweet photos (some hilarious ones too), and just letting me know how he was doing day-to-day. It made me feel like I was still part of his life even while I was away. She followed all his dietary needs perfectly. When in the past Ruger noticeably lost weight when I would board him. What a relief this was! When I got home, Ruger was totally calm and content. No anxiety, no stress. He clearly felt safe and loved the entire time. That meant everything to me. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own and give you peace of mind while you’re away, Skylynn is it. Ruger and I are both hoping she’ll come back the next time I’m gone! — Rachel”
