Allison was absolutely amazing! Our dog loved her. She kept us updated while we were away with pictures and we could tell our pets were well cared for. She even went above and beyond to clean the puppy nose prints off our windows before we came home! Will definitely be hiring her again!

Lori took very good care of our 2 very different dogs. One has anxiety issues and one is so little and hates being alone. We had to be away for 8 days, and since this was our 1st time using this service we were a bit nervous...but it all turned out fantastic and I feel so much better about leaving my girls. I will be using Lori again and highly recommend her to care for your 4 legged fur babies.

Our senior dogs tend to get really scared with new people and are high anxiety when we get home. This time was different - they were happy, calm and went right back to their normal routine when we got home. We had daily photo/video updates which was so appreciated. Highly recommend!!

Emani is the person you are looking for! We met Emani for the first time last week and I knew she would be perfect for us when, during the meet & greet, my dog Robbie fell asleep with his head on her leg . I am just home from several days out-of-town. While I was gone Emani texted regularly with cheerful updates and pictures for Robbie. I returned to find Robbie happy, healthy, and very well looked after and the house is as tidy as I left it. Emani is responsible, and trust-worthy. She made mature decisions and treated my home with respect and by dog with affection. I can't say enough in praise of the great job she did for us.

About: I’ve had animals in my life since day one—dogs, cats, you name it—so caring for pets is basically in my DNA. I started pet sitting and babysitting for neighbors when I was younger, and I’ve loved it ever since. I know how much pets mean to their people, and I treat every furball like they’re part of my own pack! As a stay-at-home mom with all my kids in school, I have lots of free time during the weekdays! I’m home and available most mornings, afternoons, and early evenings—perfect for walks, drop-ins, or daytime care. My schedule is flexible, so I’m happy to work around what’s best for you and your pet! I only care for pets in their own home, where they’re most comfortable and everything smells familiar! I always follow your instructions closely—from feeding routines to favorite toys—and I keep your pet’s safety and well-being my top priority. I treat every home with respect and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away.

Adel, IA, 50003

About: I've taken care of pets since I was a young child, but have been doing so professionally for 10 years. What sets me apart from other pet sitters is that I am a full time vet tech and have been in the veterinary field for over 10 years. So I am uniquely qualified to administer all kinds of medications, including oral, transdermal, and injectable, as well as subcutaneous fluids. I am also a certified dog trainer so I am able to train puppies (and dogs of all ages) and keep up with their current training while you're away. I currently work full time, so I have limited daytime availability. I am off on Thursdays and Sundays as well as most Saturdays, but otherwise can only provide midday drop ins if they are within a short drive from my job in Waukee. I will follow your instructions meticulously and treat your pets as I do my own. I believe it is important to keep as close to a normal routine as possible to make sure the pets are comfortable with their pet sitter while their owners are away. I provide daily text check ins with pet parents as well as pictures of your beloved pet.
