“Trish was amazing with my 12 week old puppy. I received lots of pictures and videos of her playing with the puppy and cuddling with her. Trish seems very passionate about what she does. Will definitely bring my puppy back to her.”



“Jason is great! Very prompt with communication and open availability! Bellamy has a great time playing with Timber and other dogs and comes back home tired and ready for a nap! Plenty of outside breaks and keeps him well hydrated which I really appreciate. I’m looking forward to continue bringing Bellamy to him!”


About: We have had 2 dogs for quite some time. Cody always had a pet in the home growing up and we have had our dogs since they were puppies (the oldest is 8 years old). We are willing to give any medicines and we brush our own dogs teeth at night, so we can do yours if you would like! Cody works from home, and Ashley is home most of the time so we will be willing to work with you and what your pup needs! We have a single family home with a fenced in yard and 2 fur babies ourselves to keep your pet company! We also have a doggy door to the backyard if your pup knows how to use it :) We do not crate our own dogs but are willing to crate your pup if that is the preference. We usually take our dogs on 4 walks per day, lasting about 30 minutes each walk plus free roam in the backyard.

“Emily's place was great for our dog. She loved playing with Emily's dog and had free run in a large fenced back yard. Emily had no problems with Belle and Belle seemed totally comfortable with them. We also got pics of Belle during her stay which is comforting and reassuring. If ever in Iowa City again, we'll look Emily's place up again.”


About: I love both dogs and cats like their my own. I have 20+ years experience with caring for pets. I have experience with walking, bathing, brushing, and playing with cats and dogs. I have a day time job Monday-Friday 8-4:30pm. I would be able to take the dogs out before work, and when I get home. My husband works from home 2-3 days a week and would be available to be home to take care of your fur baby during every Thursday and Friday. On the weekends, I am able to take dogs out at at least every 2-4 hours. Thursdays/Fridays, my husband will be helping me with potty breaks while I am at my day job. I do not have a fenced in area, but will take your fur-baby out as often as needed between my husband and I both. We will use a leash to keep your pet safe!

“Auden was fantastic! Communication was great throughout the day along with photos of our pup playing and on walks! We definitely would love Auden to watch our dog again!”


“Natalie and her crew took great care of our boys. We felt so at ease leaving them with her for the day. Next time we are through coralville we be sure to book a stay for our boys in her home”


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.

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: We have both taken care of animals for most of my life. I have always had cats and dogs as pets, and I have cared for many of my friends’ and families’ pets. I currently work full time but have the ability to work remote. Between my partner and I, there is almost always at least one person at our house at any given time. We have a fenced in yard and plenty of space for our dogs to run around. We take them for walks daily. We shower our pets with love and attention; they are rarely alone.

“Kasey was an absolute blessing to us! Our daughter was admitted to Iowa City Hospital and we were traveling with our 2 fur babies. We had no idea how we would be able to visit her, but Kasey made it possible! Her location to the hospital is absolutely perfect! Her love of animals is extremely evident when you visit her lovely home! Knowing she will be able to care for our dogs for future hospital visits with our daughter gives us such peace of mind! You will not be disappointed if you choose Her!”


“These guys were great. Our dog appeared to be well looked after and comfortable during her stay. Nice and clean space. They provided updates throughout the day with some wonderful pictures. The attention they provided was appreciated, and our dog seemed to have a lot of fun! We’d have no problem leaving her in their care again.”


“Megan and Matt are awesome! We needed help taking care of our new puppy with our busy schedules, and they were awesome about coming out to meet our puppy at our home before providing services. They are so friendly and clearly knowledgable about animals, especially caring for dogs and training them. Our puppy learned many new tricks after her first stay with Megan, and I got a full report of the day with frequent updates which I loved. Megan is great about really wanting to know our puppy's commands/rules and schedule and following them closely. Our puppy is very energetic, and she came home tired which we appreciated so we could enjoy cuddles rather than always being on the go after work. We can't wait for our puppy's next stay!!”

About: Experience training small and large breeds. Compassionate, patient, and have a great intuition for what dogs need:)) love cuddles, playtime, walking, grooming, literally everything a dog could need. Any time Mon-Fri and most Saturday & Sundays! I work remotely & have a super flexible schedule. I have a car as well:) So excited! Necessities first: water, food, going potty. Then a whole lotta love and play time. The occasional grooming and snack time is another plus:) Love walks and hikes.

About: I have loads of pet sitting/dog walking experience about 13 years total professionally .I have experience with all types of animals from farm animals to exotic animals. I am comfortable with all types of animals and sizes of dogs. I am flexible with scheduling I have availability during the week and weekend. I have plenty availability to help you care for your pets :) I am very reliable and will keep all information confidential. I have reliable transportation as well and a clean background driving & criminal:) your pets will be safe


About: I'm a 9th-year teacher and mom to a sweet 5-year-old daughter who’s never met an animal she didn’t instantly adore. For the past 10 years, I’ve fostered dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens—so I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m home all summer and love spending my time running, walking, exploring parks, and being outside—especially when animals are involved! Whether it’s a midday walk, overnight care, or just some extra love and attention while you’re away, I’ll make sure your pets feel right at home. My goal is to give them the same level of love and care that I give to my own furry family members. Let’s chat about how I can help care for your pets while you're away or at work! I am currently home for the summer so my daughter and I enjoy spending time taking dogs for walks, playing at the park, or just hanging out inside on days that are too hot or rainy. I have a large yard behind my house to run and play. I have fostered animals for years so I am experienced in kenneling animals, if preferred or I have lots of space to run around inside as well.


About: I'm a firm believer that life is better with dogs. However, I know how busy life can get, so I'm happy to help somebody keep the dog in their life happy. I work from home so I'm here all the time, so my schedule can be flexible during the day. My dogs are my babies and I will treat yours like they are, too. I work from home so I have a flexible schedule. I can come over in the morning for breakfast, in the middle of the day for walks, to at night for dinner. I would prefer to care for your dogs in your home. I have 3 of my own, so it would be a little chaotic if they were all here
