“Kirsten was able to drop in twice with a short notice for my two pups. She sent fun pictures and updates while she was checking on them. She was super quick to respond and we will definitely request her again!”

About: I've taken care of dogs of various ages for about 2 years at the client's home. I've done baths, taken them on walks, outside to go potty, of course feeding and giving all the treats! I work in Cedar Rapids so I'm only able to do mid day check ins in that area. If you aren't in the Cedar Rapids area I can do morning and evening/night check ins. I am able to stay overnight at your home as well if needed. I provide care at the client's home. I am able to come for a drop in visit and hang out with your pet for a short time or I'm able to come and stay for the night, weekend, or longer if needed.

“Anna is a professional, a great communicator and clearly knows what she’s doing. She has a great attitude, good judgment, and is someone you can trust. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and currently have a friendly 4-year-old Lab mix named Maverick. I also volunteer with local animal shelters, giving me experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, energy levels, and personalities. As a medical student, I’m used to staying organized, following detailed instructions, and paying close attention to routines and behavior. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether your dog needs lots of exercise, extra patience, medication, or just a comfortable place to relax, I’m happy to tailor their care to their individual needs. I’m currently a medical student, and much of my coursework can be completed from home. This gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care throughout the day. While my schedule varies slightly week to week, I’m generally available for frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals, and plenty of companionship. I make every effort to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor play and exercise, and I only board one guest dog at a time so they receive plenty of individual attention. I also have a friendly 4-year-old Lab mix who enjoys other dogs when it’s a good fit. I always take introductions slowly and make sure both dogs are comfortable before allowing interactions. I’m happy to accommodate specific feeding schedules, medications, crate routines, and any other instructions that help your pet feel at home.

“Sammy has been so helpful walking our large dog while I was healing from surgery. She’s been super reliable and friendly. I hope to book her in the future.”

“Carly did a great job with twelve days of drop in care for our puppy! Carly communicated well and took care of all her needs. They played inside and out as well as mixing it up with short walks. Allie was very well taken care of and we would definitely book her again!”

About: I have been around dog’s of all sorts for quite some time, i used to work at a dog grooming place as a bather so i would handle all types of different dogs! i have experience in puppy training, puppy care, senior care, walking and bathing if needed! I have a lot of free time right now, i would rather be spending my time taking care of furry friends then doing nothing! Your pet will get the most lovings with me :) I live on a farm, part of my yard is fenced in and some of it isn’t completely closed. it is a very big backyard tho plenty of room for your furry friend to run around on a longer leash!

“I asked Brianna to feed my two cats and give them some love & attention when I had to head out of town last-minute and she did an amazing job! I sent her detailed instructions and she followed them perfectly with no hiccups. She sent me great photos and spent time playing with both cats. When I got home both cats were calm and happy. I would definitely book with Brianna again.”

My dog loved spending time with her and I trusted her to take great care of my pup. I got frequent updates and photos with every visit.

About: I have had and cared for pets most my life, including dogs, cats, rabbits, and other rodents. I currently simultaneously take care of a black lab and border collie frequently. I am recently retired and have plenty of time to take care of your pets. I care for a black lab and a border collie on a regular basis, so I’m very comfortable with high-energy dogs that need both physical activity and attention. Walks, playtime, and keeping them on their routine are a natural part of their care. I’ve also cared for cats, rabbits, and other small animals, so I understand that each pet has different needs—whether that’s active play, quiet companionship, or simply a calm, consistent presence. Making sure pets feel safe, cared for, and happy fits seamlessly into my everyday life. I provide a calm, clean, and secure environment, whether in my home or a client’s home, and I follow routines and instructions closely to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain their pet’s normal schedule, including feeding, exercise, and any special care. In my home, pets receive close supervision, structure, and plenty of attention. I stay alert to behavior and surroundings to ensure pets are safe at all times. My goal is dependable, attentive care so both pets and owners feel completely at ease.

“Sarah responded quickly, was punctual for all check-ins, and took great care of our pets. Will definitely keep her at the top of our list next time we need pet sitting!”

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.

About: I have completed anywhere from a couple of hours of pet-sitting to a full week of spending time with pets! Growing up with both dogs and cats, I have a special place in my heart for caring for them. I enjoy keeping pets engaged to make them feel loved and give them the attention they need. Whether your pet is an outdoor adventurer or prefers to spend some time cozied-up on the couch, I'll be there to support your pet in any and all of their hobbies! I have had experience working with pets as young as their puppy years through their senior. As a doctoral student with a slower schedule this semester, I have lots more time to dedicate to caring for your pets! Depending on the day, I have full days, mornings, afternoons, or evenings available to care for your pet along with some weekend availability! Before taking care of your pet - I either would like to meet with you or have a phone/zoom call to meet you and your pet to ensure we are both in communication about the care you would like them to have. I enjoy sending photos or videos of pets to owners as well so you can stay up to date with what we are doing and how we are spending our time together! If there are any additional safety or environment concerns you have or would like to discuss, we can communicate about this as well. I want to ensure you feel like your pet is in good hands!

About: I do not personally own any dogs but I have lived with dogs my whole life. Each dog ranged in size, one of the bigger dogs I have had was a German Shepard. I recently moved here to Iowa from Ohio. I watch 3 amazing kids a few days a week. Since I only have them for 2-3 days a week, I would be able to walk/watch your dogs and cats more frequently At the clients home I would ensure the fur baby would have food and water. I would also, depending on backyard situations, take them out in the yard to play. If there isn’t a lead or fenced in yard then I would take him or her on a walk. All animals should feel loved but also worn out after our walks and play time!

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: I’ve taken care of a dog ever since I was 8, I love to be around animals and can’t wait to expand my pet caring experience! I am currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pets! My schedule can be pretty flexible to fit your needs! I will almost always be available if you need to contact me while I am taking care of your pets, and will do whatever you instruct me to!
