Marlee continues to impress us more and more each time she watches our cats. She goes above and beyond with her service. She is diligent and detailed in her daily notes and sends several pictures each time she visits letting me see how my boys are. We have used Marlee several times and will do so in the future.

About: I have my own dog of 4 years that my family and I rescued from an animal shelter when she was 2 months old. Taking care of her and educating her to be a sweet and loving addition to the family was hard but it showed me a lot about how to treat and understand dogs better. I go on walks myself frequently and am able to be very flexible in the times I am available to work. I also take care of my own dog and know the reliability it takes to care for a pet. I am offering the service of dog walking and pet visits, which I am accustomed to myself from doing this for years for friends. At a clients home, I am more than happy to give a dog physical activity in a backyard or go for long walks, as well as any other need the owner may need.

About: Animals are Gods among us. I agree with Ricky Gervais, that "a dog loves you more than it loves itself, and that's why I worship dogs." Honestly, this gig is a bit selfish - my sweet baby Pit Mix passed away recently & I miss her terribly. I'm certain that engaging with animals will soothe this depression. I am socially awkward with humans, but I love animals. This will be therapy, a true gift, to me. I also need to exercise more and would like to be able to afford any kind of home, some day. My family has had pets since I was in kindergarten. I volunteered with Faithful Friends in High School, through which I also fostered kittens. I have taken care of my neighbors' & friends' pets while away over the years, which I equate to a collective total of ~2 years. I take medical issues very seriously & cared for my doll when she was ill. I understand how stressful & important it is. My favorite thing about walking a dog is when the folded tops of their ears bounce up and down. I work full time until ~4:30PM, but I am usually free after. I am available for boarding on the weekends. On the days I work from home (typically Monday & Wednesday), I can also provide a walk or check in during my lunch hour (1 to 2PM). There are no other animals or children in my home; your pet will have my undivided attention. I have a large partially fenced in yard, and many walking trails nearby. I'm also happy to take care of a pet in your home, if preferred.

About: I have owned pets my entire life and have experience in caring for both dogs and cats. I am currently an animal science: pre-veterinary major and have a passion for taking care of animals. I am experienced in giving medications and following instructions from the owner of the specific ways they want their pet cared for. I also have previously cared for senior pets. I am currently a student athlete at Iowa State University. I am available for drop-in visits during weekdays and weekends. Additionally, I can do overnight visits on the weekends. I am flexible with my schedule, however, and can make accommodations for your pets needs! In order to care for your pet best, I will communicate with you on walking schedules, medications, and any other accommodations. I have experience giving medications such as pills, eye drops, ear drops, and ear cleaning solutions. I am more than willing to work with the owner on special care and welcome instruction.

About: I am a very experienced caregiver to dogs, cats, and fish, and am used to having pets with high needs and doing things around the house like watering plants, cleaning, and general upkeep. I do prefer caring for pets in their home, as I believe it provides a sense of stability and I can just fit into the preset routine. I am patient and empathetic towards animals and I will definitely make sure they are taken care of and feel comfortable. I can figure most things out on my own but have no problem with chatting with the parents if it comforts them and reassures them that their baby is in good hands. I am available pretty much all the time, and will definitely make your needs the first priority in my schedule. I can't wait to meet you and your pets/s!

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life! I love dogs so much and am excited to get to know yours. I have experience with dogs ranging from puppies to seniors. We aim to walk about two miles a day and would love for your pup to join us! Dogs are allowed on couches and on the bed here. I have experience with different types of needs - food motivation, diapers, medicine, etc. Let me know what your pet needs to feel at home! I work from home about three days a week. My dogs need frequent care, so I can provide frequent care for yours as well! Dogs are embedded into my weekly routine. I have a small backyard that my dogs often explore. We have walking paths around the neighborhood we use just about every day! We have a spacious home and plenty of room for another friend :)

Kellie has taken care of my beagle mix (now 13) many times over the past 10 years. She has a gentle spirit that Jules fell in love with. She followed my care instructions to the letter and my dog was happy to be able to stay at home, without a crate, while I was gone. Kellie needed to take Jules for a long walk Jules at least twice a day and did so with confidence and control. I trust her with my dog and you can too!

Abbie is the best!! I have a Lab and a young ball of energy Yorkie-poo. They both love Abbie and enjoy her visits. She feeds, waters, potties, and plays with them every time she comes over. It gives me great piece of mind to know that my dogs are cared for while out of town. This is our 3rd time to have her take of them for a week. Your fur babies will love Abbie!

Lauren is gifted with dogs, she is an extremely responsible caretaker who has a keen awareness of what a dog needs and always attends to them. She is very good at matching their energy, I have seen her develop strong relationships with shy, reserved dogs as well as manage playful, rambunctious dogs! I would trust her with my animals anytime.
