About: I've been a dog owner my whole life and couldn't imagine life without dogs in it. I've provided a foster home for dogs while providing love and training for the past 9 years. Your pet's safety and well being will be taken very seriously under my care. I've worked with many dog breeds, sizes, and temperaments over the years. I take pride in showing them love, as well as working on obedience and making sure that they believe in themselves. Dogs are amazing creatures and they touch souls in a way that humans can't. They show unconditional love and they deserve the same in return. I'm very passionate about working with dogs and showing people that I'll do a great job with their beloved pet while they are in my care. I work from home, so I'll be able to provide attention and give potty breaks throughout the day. My husband and 16 and 18 year old kids also love playing with and giving cuddles to dogs. My whole family is animal lovers! Each dog has their own individual needs, so I want to keep things as normal as possible for your dog. Routine is good, so knowing what your dog likes and needs is key.
About: My name is Miranda! I work full time at mine and my husband’s business in downtown Decorah (Coffee Break) and I’m looking at filling my spare time taking care of other peoples pets (because I’m not allowed to get anymore! lol). Because I make my own schedule I’m able to stop in at any point of the day so that your babies can get a midday walk or potty break that they need. Let me meet your fur babies! I work full time but I have the freedom to make sure your dog can get that potty break every 3/4 hours. I get off work around 3pm most days and will make sure your babies get enough attention and play. Great at following instructions and will make sure to keep a close eye on your pets when it’s time to play outside. Safety is my number one priority
About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life and have raised puppies and kittens. Growing up I also cared for elderly dogs. Keeping animals active and making sure their needs are being met is something I enjoy. When pet sitting I like running and playing fetch with pets or even just sitting and petting them if that’s what they prefer. I have volunteered with humane societies to walk dogs and play with cats. For 2 years I was a veterinary technician at an animal hospital in florida and worked with animals everyday. I am able to give prescribed medications or injections if needed. I have availability on nights and weekends as well as on my days off. I am flexible about traveling and am willing to travel about 30 minutes for pet sitting. Just contact me with any questions about schedule availability. Very flexible on nights and weekends. Work a swing shift at work so some weeks my availability is different. When caring for pets in my clients home I am always careful to make sure the pet is as comfortable with me as possible. I respect that the home is there space and make sure to let the pet make the first move when meeting for the first time.
About: I grew up in a house with a lot of animals: dogs, cats, horses, turtles, fish. As an adult, I worked in animal husbandry and even rescued a pair of baby raccoons who'd lost their mother. I have a love for all animals, and look forward to getting to know all the quirks and individualities of your pet's personality! I currently work from home, so your pets can enjoy full supervision throughout the day, with plenty of breaks for snuggles, snacks and play time. As a boarder, my home is spacious and can be easily divided to accommodate multiple pets. I have three bedrooms, two bathrooms, two porches and a backyard for your fur babies to explore. Alternatively, I also offer petsitting and housesitting services in your home, where I'm happy to water plants, clean up messes and generally leave your space better than I found it!
About: I've taken care of my own and other pets for 10-15 years. I am able to deliver medication and I've taken care of senior dogs many times as well. I'm working part time and have a flexible schedule that allows me to make almost any routine fit! I also stay very active so any animals that are active and need walking is fun for me! I can easily crate animals if needed. In a client's home, I can walk or drive animals to nearby places to allow them to exercise if preferred!

Perry A.Star Sitter
“Perry does a great job of letting our dogs out for a walk and potty break. She always sends pictures and is responsive to their needs. Highly recommend!”
Jenn H.
“Asher had a great stay!! I knew Jenn would take great care of him, and she sure did. He usually has tummy problems when he comes back from the kennel, and often I’m up in the night when we get back from a trip dealing with it. He had NO PROBLEM at all coming home from Jenn’s. He was tired and happy and clearly well-loved. I’m so grateful to have this option for him. She sent us updates and pictures, and we had a chance to talk about how he did when I picked him up. If you’re in the area, Jenn and her family will do a great job caring for your dog!!”

Ashley H.
“I am more then happy to recommend Ashley for your pet sitting. You need a special person to care for your pets. I have had the pleasure of working with her at the Vet clinic. She is so kind and caring. Ashley will treat your pets like her own. I know my Lulu and Foxy are happy when she comes. They love her!”
Jeremiah D.
“Jeremiah is an attentive and capable caregiver with a lot of love to offer. Having seen him interact with countless animals, I can say there’s no one else I would trust more with my own pet. Jeremiah is playful yet reliable, as well as good at communicating with both pets and people. He’s sure to spend lots of good quality time with your animal and make them feel right at home. Book with Jeremiah to secure your pet a loving and dedicated caretaker who will mindfully meet your animal’s nuanced needs.”
