Pet Sitting in Dexter

“Skye is very loving to our babies. Did a great job dropping in and letting them run in the backyard. Showed love to them all. Delilah, Patches, and Amber were so happy to see her and to get loving from her.”

About: I've pet/house sat for multiple people in the past. Animals include dogs, cats, fish, and reptiles. I like to have a meet and greet before ever staying with your pets alone. If you have any special diets or quirks make sure we discuss them in advance! I don't mind staying for a few hours to watch your animals or just drop in, whatever is needed! I have a nighttime job so, your animals will need to be able to be alone at night a few days of the week! I will discuss meal plan, how often you walk them/let them outside, and if they have meds with you prior to caring for your animals.

“Rachel did a great job watching our dogs while we were away for the day. She was reliable, communicative, and sent updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind. Our dogs were well cared for, and we came home to happy pups and everything in great shape. We would definitely book with Rachel again!”

About: Growing up, my family didn’t have pets, so I love my friends and family’s pets like they are my own! I am intentional and ask questions when learning from owners how to best interact with their pet(s). I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats, up to two of each at the same time. I prioritize playtime and being active with any pet I’m responsible for. I’m comfortable with both cats and dogs, and can adapt my skills and schedule based on their unique needs. My schedule is extremely flexible as I continue the job search post graduate school. I am able to support pet owners with short-term drop ins, frequent walks for high energy pets, and extended stays. I am available to care for pets in their own home. I aim to ease any stress by keeping their environment familiar and maintaining their usual schedule as much as possible.

“This was our first time using Rover and Allison went above and beyond taking care of our two cats while we were out of town!! She sent us pictures and kept us updated every day. We will definitely book with her again in the future!”

About: I am currently employed as a Hospice Admissions Coordinator and am offering pet sitting services in my free time. I have a lifelong love for animals and extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats of all breeds. Growing up, I volunteered at a local veterinary clinic, which deepened my understanding of animal care and behavior. While caring for your pets, I provide daily updates and photos so you can stay connected with your furry family members while you’re away. I am flexible with scheduling and strive to accommodate each client’s individual needs. I kindly ask that all animals be up to date on their vaccinations for the safety of everyone involved. Your pets will be treated with the same love and attention I give my own—spoiled and cared for like royalty! I also offer light household cleaning services during pet-sitting visits for an additional fee. I am currently employed with Hospice, but animals have always held a special place in my heart. I take great joy in caring for pets and understand the importance of providing them with love and attention while their owners are away. I offer flexible scheduling and am happy to make accommodations to meet the needs of each client and their pets. I ensure my pets are well cared for every day — providing fresh water each morning, daily feedings, and clean litter boxes. When I had my dog before he passed, we enjoyed daily walks (often more than one!) and followed a consistent feeding routine. I treat my fur babies as family and care for them as if they were my own children. Being told I may not be able to have children has made my pets even more precious to me — they truly are my family.

“Mackenzie is super reliable and I trust them to give my dog the care she needs and be in my home while I’m at work! I love getting the videos and pictures that they send me”

About: I have taken care of dogs of all sizes small to extra large as well as cats and even some exotic pets. I have been the go to sitter for my friends and family every time they go on vacation. I love caring for animals and can’t wait to help you with yours. I am experienced with animals- puppies to elderly dogs, kittens to elderly cats. I homeschool my kids so I have a very flexible schedule and can work with what you need. I mostly have open afternoons and Friday through the weekend. While I’m taking care of your pet I will do all I can to assure they are taken care of physically as well as emotionally offering love, play and exercise, whatever it is they need that day. Every pet is different and I will work with you to ensure they are getting what they need from me, walks, pets or play.

“Leo loved seeing Ben and hanging out with his dogs too! I’m relieved he can get the same love I give him when I’m unable to be there!”

About: Hi!!! My name is Kadyn and I’ve always had a genuine love for animals!! I feel the happiest when I’m caring for them:) I worked for two years at a local doggy daycare in waukee Iowa, where I gained lots of hands on experience supervising, playing with, taking care of, and ensuring safety of dogs of all sizes, ages and personalities. I have also been a dog sitter and walker for the past five years, building trusted relationships with both pets and their owners while providing dependable care, including administering medications and following detailed instructions to make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved!!! I am a sophmore in college at the University of Iowa! So my schedule is pretty flexible during the week days between classes and I’m open most weekends! I care for them as if they were my own and I do my very best to make them feel comfortable and loved whether they are in my home or the clients!

About: My love of animals started from a young age. I grew up on a farm with a variety of pets, from dogs and cats to pigs and horses! I have fostered and boarded a variety of dog breeds and cats, and I currently have a dog and 4 kittens - so you can trust your pet will be in great hands! I am an active teacher, so I stay busy throughout the week, but I am off on holiday breaks and weekends, which is when I will be most available! I do also have afternoon and nighttime availability thought out the week on occasion. I provide personalized care for your pets by sticking to their routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs they have. I ensure their environment stays comfortable and safe while you’re away, offering companionship and attention to keep them happy and relaxed. Regular updates and photos will keep you informed, so you can rest easy knowing your pet is in great hands!

About: I have been a volunteer pet sitter for many years helping friends and neighbors. Dogs sense my spirit and respond in kind. I am a hands-on, loving caregiver and my fur baby Wiggles is a generous host who loves to share. If your baby has special needs, we will accommodate seniors, or puppies that need more frequent potty breaks. Our home is very clean. Wiggles has regular vet care and is healthy and vibrant. I work from my home office. Your baby will not be crated (unless you request it) or left unsupervised. They will receive attention and have a buddy to keep them calm and occupied until you come to pick them up. My sweet Wiggles is a 13.5# Shipoo with a happy, loving disposition. Wiggles is very adaptable and welcomes new visitors to her home with enthusiasm. She is very bright and has helped 2 puppies learn to potty outside with the big kids. She loves meeting new fur buddies. She is an energetic and gentle playmate. We only take one dog (or dog family) at a time so your fur baby(s) will receive our complete attention. We go for walks every 2 hours and have at least one adventure per day to the park or other doggie destination. We make our own food and treats and feed every 4 hours with unlimited low-cal treats. We have and expect good manners, but we also believe doggies should be SPOILED. We look forward to meeting and falling in love with your fur baby.

“Our boys love Traci…plan to request her again!”

About: I've had dogs, cats, rabbits, & guinea pigs for pets all my life. In the last 5 years I started staying and house & pet sitting while people are on vacation or away. I care for ALL animals including handicapped pets. I'm available almost 24/7 right now since I'm off for the summer from teaching. I'm happy to help out with your pets during the week. I live in a pet friendly area with plenty of room to walk. I have 1 cat who is used to other cats and dogs.

“Stephanie was kind, caring and professional. She took such great care of our Great Dane while we were out of town, we could never thank her enough. She was prompt and always spent the allotted time with our pup. Stephanie also always checked in and out and provided us with detailed updates. I would recommend her to anyone and will probably request her services again in the future!”

Michelle C.

“Simply the best! Vanessa went above and beyond to make sure the first time I ever needed a sitter was stress free for both my cat and myself. She updated me with pics, videos, and information about him using the potty and their activity time together. I booked with quite a late notice and she came in to save the day regardless! Highly recommend for exceptional care when needing to leave your furry friends at home.”

“Great meet and greet with Yasmin. Definitely a dog lover and our trio of pooches loved getting to know her. Will definitely keep her at the top of our Rover list!”
