Dog Sitting Dubuque

About: I have taken care of different types of animals for 8+ years. Growing up, my family has had 3 Labrador Retrievers and a cat, which is where my love for animals stems from. I have experience giving medications, dog walking, and simply giving pets to ensure they are loved. I would love to meet your dog and ensure they are taken care of while you are away! I do work a full-time job, which means my early mornings and nights are available for pet care (lunchtime hours as needed). Additionally, my weekends are very free for home stays/visits. Before taking care of someone’s pet in their own home I am sure to ask for all information regarding their normal routine, neighbors, what to look out for, etc. I make sure to follow the owner’s guidance to ensure your pet has a safe and comfortable experience with me.

About: I have been in the dog industry for many many years. I have worked in several different roles from city shelters to professional dog training. This is currently my full time job so I am openly available: Monday through Sunday. Preferably between the hours of 9am and 5pm. Thank you! I am an experienced pet owner and dog handler. I do have a fenced in yard and can house my personal dogs separately, if necessary.

About: Hello my name is Eli I’ve had dogs and cats all my life so I feel fairly well trained to take care of your pets needs as well. My grandpa was a veterinarian so I spent a lot time growing up learning how to take care for animals being around him. My family and Friends have relied on me to take care of their pets in the past and I hope you will too. I am a college student and I have breaks throughout the day that I generally go home or in your case hopefully take care of your house or animal. And my nights are almost free every night. I would like to say that I will try to keep your homes and your pets safe and happy while keeping the house the way I found it when I arrive. I pride myself in being a polite, caring and empathetic person so I hope to please the client in anyway I can help.

About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities, including feeding, walking, playtime, and providing companionship while owners are away. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable in their routine, and I do my best to keep things familiar and stress-free. I’m reliable, attentive, and always treat every dog with care and patience. I maintain a very flexible routine and am home the majority of the day. I do volunteer a few hours daily, but I’m otherwise available to care for pets, provide attention, and keep them on their normal schedule. Dogs in my care will have a stable environment, regular potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment for every dog in my care. I make sure pets are always supervised, comfortable, and kept in a clean, secure space where they can relax and feel at home.

About: Although I’m new to offering dog sitting services professionally, I have regularly assisted friends and family with their pets, learning how important consistency, patience, and individualized care is. Being trusted in their homes and with their animals has helped me develop a strong sense of responsibility, reliability, and attention to detail. I’m currently working a part time job where I have Tuesday’s off entirely and some days I am only working half days on certain days of the week. I am flexible with my hours and can be available most Tuesday’s and Fridays and part time on Wednesdays. I understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your pet is a big decision. I treat every home with respect and every pet with the same care and responsibility I would expect of my own. I follow instructions carefully, maintain clear communication, and prioritize safety at all times.

About: I grew up with multiple dogs in my home. And have always had a natural draw to them. Will gladly go above and beyond to provide them all the love and care while you're gone I currently have a couple part time endeavors and am able to create my own schedule, so am open to weekends and weekdays. Very flexible. I cater to all pets needs when in your home. Including walking, potty breaks, feeding, cleaning up after them, etc. Willing to get mail, and if there's any extras needed by the homeowner

About: Hello! My name is Zoe. My family have always had a pup while growing up. Each member of my family has a furry member. Currently I am the proud owner of our family dog. She is 12 years old and a Chocolate Lab/Blue Heeler Mix. As well as a proud auntie to a German Shepard, Pit Bull, & Doberman Mix. I believe our pets aren't just pets, they are family. I have experience caring and loving for all animals. My love for being outside and going for walks, as well as how deeply I care for every animal, made me want to meet and care more furry friends! I am very excited to meet your furry member of the family! I do work full time, Monday-Friday second shift. I also have a pup of my own that I will prioritize. My time available is a bit limited but my weekends and mornings are free to spend walking and caring for your animals! I treat my pup just like I would a child and I will do the same for yours! Before caring for your furry family member 1-on-1, I would do a meet and greet so you and your pup feel safe and we can build trust with one another!

“Natalee V. did a wonderful job of taking care of Huey Lewis! She played with him and made sure he had fresh water and scooped the litter. She also gave him his medications and he did very well while we were on vacation.”

“Rachel did a great job checking on my cats while I was away. She showed up when she said she would and my typically shy cat even came out to say hi. I'll be happy to rebook her the next time I travel.”

About: I have been an independent pet sitter for 18 plus years. I have plenty of experience with cats, dogs and other small critters. I have been very passionate in my love of animals for many years and all of my pets mean the world to me. I have spent time volunteering in shelters for pet care as we as medical care and have spent time working as a vet assistant as well. While working in the vet office I learned how to medicate cats as well as how to give subcutaneous fluids. I have worked in various animal related fields for over a decade including vet offices, shelters, grooming facilities, pet stores and pet sitting. All animals are fascinating to me and I enjoy learning about the different types of care they all need. I live in Galena IL and am willing to cover all surrounding areas 😸 Pet sitting is my main job and my schedule is currently open. I'm looking to build my local client base and earn your trust :) I will care for pets in the clients own home. I will follow the care instructions provided for each pet. During overnight visits I will treat your home with the utmost respect.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. Family and friends have relied on me to walk and feed their pets. I’ve cared for cats and dogs of all ages! I’m currently working part-time as a cashier. So I would be available most nights and Saturdays. I am always looking forwarded to hanging out with furry friends. I respect all clients homes and you won’t even tell I was there. I care for our furry friend and clean up after them and myself!

“So grateful for Jessie’s drop in visits for my cat while I was out of town! She provided great care and shared updates and photos daily! Very happy and would book her again in the future!”

About: I've taken care of small and large dogs, including feeding, walking, taking them to the vet, and bathing them. I have paid experience caring for elderly dogs and cats. I own a boxer mix rescue and help with my boyfriend's cats and my sister's two dogs. I am CPR/First Aid Certified in humans and can transfer those skills to pets. I have availability during the day 9am-3pm Monday through Saturday to walk dogs or check up on dogs or cats and play with them/care for them. I would be able to come to your home and watch the animals. I can also walk your dog in your local area. I can check on them multiple times a day, depending on the situation.

About: Nestled in the quiet countryside, I offer loving, in-home boarding for dogs and cats in a peaceful, natural setting. With plenty of fresh air, daily walks, and attentive care, your pets are treated like family while they’re away from home. Able to care for animals at all stages in their life. I love taking long walks with canine companions! Your dogs will not be unleashed on a walk unless your specify! A client’s cat or dog fits naturally into my daily routine because their care is built around their needs, not a rigid schedule. Each day follows a calm, predictable flow—morning feedings, medications if needed, fresh air, walks or supervised outdoor time for dogs, and quiet check-ins or play for cats—mirroring what they’re used to at home as closely as possible. Throughout the day, I weave in one-on-one attention, enrichment, rest, and observation, so pets aren’t just “fit in,” but thoughtfully included in a rhythm that keeps them comfortable, engaged, and well cared for from morning to night. Tailoring your services starts with seeing each pet as an individual, not a “one-size-fits-all” guest. Begin with a detailed intake or meet-and-greet to learn the pet’s routine, personality, energy level, medical needs, fears, and preferences. From there, you can adjust care in a few key ways: • Routine-based care: Match feeding times, walk schedules, playtime, and sleep habits as closely as possible to what the pet is used to at home. • Personality-aware handling: Offer extra quiet and space for shy or senior pets, more structured play and exercise for high-energy dogs, and gentle, low-stress interactions for anxious animals. • Health-focused support: Follow specific instructions for medications, mobility limits, special diets, or senior care, and keep careful notes so nothing is missed. • Environment choices: Decide whether a pet thrives with social interaction or prefers solo time, indoor lounging, or outdoor exploration in your country setting.

About: I really care about the animals that I interact with and they light up my world a little too at the same time. 🙂 🐕 & 🐈 It is a part-time job I am looking to make full-time. I have very little work right now, but I am looking to change that. I always make sure they are in view. I try and make sure they have a safe environment with plenty of toys and treats if allowed.

About: Hi! My name is Mikayla, and I have a lifelong passion for animals and their care. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every dog in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. I have experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. In addition to pet sitting and daily care, I work with dogs on basic obedience and agility training using positive reinforcement methods. I enjoy helping dogs build confidence, learn good manners, and have fun while staying active. I also provide dog grooming services on the side, which has given me experience handling dogs in a calm, safe, and patient manner. Because of my grooming background, I am comfortable recognizing when a dog may be stressed, anxious, or in need of extra care and attention. Whether your pet enjoys walks, playtime, training, cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I believe every pet deserves individualized care, and I strive to make their time with me as enjoyable and stress-free as possible.
