“Tee-Tee overall is an exceptional at her job. She took good care of our dogs while we were away. We trust her coming into our home for the first time and she did not disappoint. Tee-Tee was not on the scheduled time that we both agreed upon. However she did communicate with me each time she was late to perform her duties. Overall I will definitely use her again because we are pleased with her service. :-)”

About: I’m a current student at UNI pursuing Veterinary Medicine. I’ve cared for my own dogs and cats my entire life and cared for someone else’s for three years in addition to babysitting. I currently have my own friendly Great Pyrenees and Cat and love spending time around furry friends I’m currently working part time and I am out of school very early in the day allowing me to spend my afternoons and nights (and some mornings) caring for your furry friends I have a fenced in yard and a friendly Great Pyrenees and kitty who love interacting with new friends and if need be I have a way of separating my own from yours with our house set up
“Sage was a wonderful sitter! She was attentive to our pets and took care of playing, feeding and their litter boxes and other accidents. She went above and beyond by bringing in our mail, moving objects out of kitty reach and bonding with our animals by holding them and playing with them. She kept us updated daily with detailed notes and pictures. We would definitely have her watch our kitties again and would highly recommend to others! Thank you so much!”

Giving plenty of potty breaks, play time, and of course all of the cuddles they want!

About: Since a baby, I've grown up with cats, dogs, fish, and reptiles. Not all at once, but I have always been a lover of animals of all types. I have been around animals with sensitive diets, tummy troubles, skin sensitivity, anxiety, and paw pain and know how to spot the warning signs for most common complications. Grooming, bathing, feeding, and exercise are all tasks I am deeply familiar with. If your pet has unique care instructions, trust that I will do my best research prior and will carefully ensure your baby receives the most comfortable stay. I am a college student currently. I currently live in a studio apartment near UNI and will be able to flexibly care for any animals of all types; sans very large dogs for space reasons. My time mostly consists of studying and trying to find the time to exercise enough, so you don't have to worry about a busy body! For my in home service, I am very meticulous about "leaving it as I found it or better than it was." Having military discipline, I am punctual about arriving, check-ins, and feeding/potty times. You can guarantee that any and all instructions relating to your baby or babies is closely followed and communication prompt when necessary. As for boarding or hourly stays, my home is their home. They are welcome to sleep or lounge where they like and accompany me on a walk around town or during a Law and Order binge. Belly rubs and butt scratches are always available round the clock!
“Tiara was amazing! Although my baby was stolen from me right before she started her check ins, she did everything in her power to assist me in finding her. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable sitter for their fur baby as she will treat them as her own and take very good care of them.”

About: I have lived with, and taken care of, a dog since since I was 8 years old! I have walked, bathed, and fed pets. I love dogs and I love to take care of them! I am currently a full time English teacher so I am available on during the summer & weekends to be completely dedicated to keeping your dog(s) happy, healthy, and safe! I will follow whatever instructions are supplied and do anything possible to make sure that your dog is comfortable and happy. I can walk, bathe, feed them, and/or more.
About: Hi! I’m Kennedy, I’m experienced with dogs of all temperaments and routines. I love getting outside for walks, playing fetch, and giving all the cuddles in between. I’ll treat your dog like family and make sure they get all the love and attention they deserve while you’re gone. I’m experienced with dogs of all temperaments and routines I am currently working part time so I have time to care for animals in the afternoons and evenings. I am also in nursing school but have availability on some weekends. I have a fenced yard which allows dogs to exercise and play without the fear of them running away or losing sight of the dogs.
About: I am an animal lover with experience for dogs of all sizes. As well as cats, bunnies, and snakes. I have cared for puppies all the way through senior aged. I can’t wait to meet your fur-kids. I have experience with dogs with diabetes as well. I am currently working a part time job and so I have plenty of time to spend with your fur-kid. I also have complete flexibility with what hours I can come, if something is not listed please feel free to reach out. I care for all animals as if they were my own. They will receive only the best cuddles, story time if desired, lots of walks, and ear scratches.
About: I have lived with animals and taken care of them all of my life. As an adolescent, I had several dogs (sizes ranging from a chihuahua to a saint bernard mix) that I would frequently take on walks, clean up after, feed, play with, and overall care for. I also worked with a service dog trainer for about a year to train a dog I had in the past since she was three months old. I will be going to college in August, but until then I am completely free to watch, walk, or visit any furbabies at any time for as long as needed! (Starting May 25th, as I do not move to Cedar Falls until then) My cat is rather spoiled with hundreds of toys, constant access to food, and lots and lots of love. I understand the importance of socializing your animals to new people and other animals, and take it very seriously, hence why he is an absolute cuddlebug for everyone that meets him! I would make sure to give the same amount of care and attention to your pets. Spending as much time as they need to socialize, play, and relax, as every pet is different and has different needs!
About: Hey I'm Syd! I've always had a big heart for animals! I think my family started taking notice when I kept my walmart goldfish alive for 10 years! I recently had to put my childhood cat down and am looking to love on pets to fill the void. My friend began pet sitting on the rover app and when she moved away I took over one of her clients. (Who you will probably notice in most my pics!) We love going on walks, going for pup cup runs, going to grooming appointments together, and even going to the store once and awhile together to pick out new toys. I can quite confidently say I see him as a friend and love taking him to as many event as possible! My friends always ask if he can come to one of our favorite events, tailgating! I am a full time college student at UNI and work part time in retail. I almost always can spend the night if need be and come to the home for potty breaks as needed. I've lived in the same neighborhood for almost my whole life and feel very comfortable taking strolls around the neighborhood. My mom works from home and is almost always around. We live less than a mile away from the dog park and near a beautiful nature reserve and trail we frequent often :)
