They are so relaxed and exhausted that we know they had a great time. Would definitely use these guys again!”


“Kylee is an exceptional dog sitter! She was incredibly patient and communicative, keeping us updated with lots of pictures. Even though our dog was a bit of a handful and rowdy during her visit, Kylee went above and beyond. She was honest and respectful throughout the entire process. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”


“Amy was just wonderful! She kept me informed with pictures, updates, asked questions, left me a summary and the house clean. It was apparent my pets were in excellent hands. I was never worried about their care. I’ll be contacting her again, no question! Thanks, Amy!!”

“Chloe did an exceptional job watching our Dane. He was dealing with an injury and needed extra attention, a cone and medication and Chloe met all of his needs.

We will for sure be using Chloe on future trips and recommend her to any of our friends that have pets.”

I showed a St. Bernard, French bulldog, German shepherd and a Golden retriever. I also showed my ferret and my snake in the small pet show. I will be in school staring end of August so I will have to see what that will look like for me. This summer I will have another job so I will have to make this work around that. Just contact me and I'm sure we can figure something out. I will have to go to your place to care for your animals. I will be in an apartment starting August and my roommate would not be too thrilled if I had animals over to care for. If you really need your pet at my place for a short time then lmk and I will have to talk to my roommate. I will try to make something work.

About: Throughout my life, I've immersed myself in the joy of caring for animals, with a special affinity for dogs. Growing up, our home was always filled with the delightful presence of pets, and I naturally became the go-to person among my family and friends for all their pet-sitting needs. Whether it's overnight stays or providing casual playtime, walks, and bathroom breaks, I've got it covered. Overflowing with love and positive energy, I assure you that your furry companions will thrive under my attentive care. With a decade of remote work experience and my nine-year-old engaged in school during the weekdays, my availability is somewhat sporadic during the week. However, my weekends are wide open, providing a flexible and reliable option for your pet care needs. While looking after your pets at your place, I'll stick to their usual routines, making sure they get their meals and playtime on schedule. Whether it's just quick check-ins, leisurely strolls, or easy overnight stays, I'm all about keeping your pets happy and chill in the coziness of their own home.

About: I've helped to take care of dogs and sometimes pretty regularly since I was 12. I have experience working with a variety of dog and cat breeds as well as a wide range of behaviors from feral/stray to very people-loving. I have been relied on to walk, feed, and take care of other basic needs of animals. I am willing to bathe your cat or dog if needed given you provide the supplies. I am currently only working about 8-10 hours a week so I am pretty much available anytime. I mainly work on the weekends so my availability will be slightly lower then. I will only be available during the summer as I go to a university that is not close to Cedar Rapids. In your home, I will ensure that your dog(s) is fed correctly, water is changed as needed, and walk your dog(s) at least once a day as well as participate in play. For cats, I will feed them correct amounts, change water as needed, clean the litter box(es) as needed, and provide entertainment.
