“Nadine is fabulous— when I arrived home after my trip, my cats were their usual happy selves, so I know they were well cared for by Nadine! She was very conscientious about prescriptions, litter, & treats and also did the little extras like closing curtains at night, playing with their toys. Highly recommend!”
About: I have always had a strong passion and love for animals. I worked in a veterinary clinic for a months and I absolutely loved it! I have a dog and a cat of my own, i walk my dog daily and i take care of my animals every morning and night. I make sure they have food, water, a clean litter box, and enough love. I make sure that they are taken care of food wise, bathroom, toys, treats, and I give them enough love and attention that they deserve.
“Erik did a great job doing drop-ins for our cat! He communicated regularly with us and was very easy to work with & there were zero issues. :) I'd recommend him!”
About: I have my associates degree in Veterinary Technology! I previously have worked at dog/cat boarding facilities, and vet clinics. I have had dogs, cats, & goats throughout my life! I currently have my dog living with me here in Cedar Rapids, & 2 cats back in Indiana living with my parents. I am comfortable with any size dog & weight. I am also comfortable with medications if necessary! I am a travel agent that works from home. My schedule is extremely flexible! I am very comfortable with whatever your pet needs whether it’s ones who require constant attention & playing for an hour, or ones who prefer to have their own space. Whatever your pet needs I am happy to provide! My dog is spoiled to the max & I ensure your pet will receive the same treatment! I am down for just opening a door to let them out in their backyard, watching their favorite movie from the couch, playing with their toys, or strolls around their neighborhood!
“Ashleigh went above and beyond. We truly cannot say enough good words about our experience or her care. We needed help in the eleventh hour in order to go on our honeymoon. She was AMAZING and we could really enjoy our time away knowing she would take great care of our cat. He needs insulin every twelve hours and she never missed a single shot. She played with him, cuddled him and just overall did an excellent job. So flexible when certain needs changed and very understanding. We would 100000% book her again.”

“Shelley proved to be super reliable while we were away from our home. She helped us feel better about this extended time away as she always communicated how our pet was doing!”
“This was our second time using them to watch our animals, they just watched our cats this time & they did a great job! They regularly kept us up to date with pictures & took the time to give them some lovings & play time on top of keeping the litter boxes clean & feeding them. They're definitely one of our regulars now that we'll always trust with our babies!”
“Landon was wonderful with our cats! On his first visit, he went out of his way to spend extra time with them and made sure they were well cared for. He cleaned the litter box daily and was even kind enough to take out the trash. We’ll definitely be using Landon again!”
About: Hello everyone! My name is Emily and I am a huge animal lover. I am located in Cedar Rapids and almost always available. I have about 15 years of experience with both cats & dogs and have 4 dogs of my own. I have 3 little girls who are 5, 4, and 9 months 😊 We live in a ranch style home and have a fenced in backyard. I am an active person and will give your pet plenty of love and attention. I will also take dogs on walks if they enjoy that. I have never had an owner unhappy with their pets stay. I have a Facebook page as well with pictures, information, and reviews. Please feel free to call or text with any questions or to book. I work from home so I will be there most of the time to make sure you fur baby gets plenty of attention and play time! I have a fenced in yard so dogs can be out there and play around as much as they want to when we’re home. If they enjoy playing with other dogs I have 1 bigger one and 3 smaller ones. They will be crated whenever we are not home to ensure they’re safe unless they’re used to free roaming and won’t have accidents or be destructive.
“Sana is amazing!!! She watched my cats for 2.5 weeks (the longest I have ever left them). While she was there, my cats managed to knock my jewelery off the shelf and into the nearby cat litter bin. Sana went through the cat litter to get my jewelry. In addition to that, she was amazing about everything else! She sent so many pictures and my house is nice and clean and my cats seem happy. I will definitely be trying to hire her again!”

Nadine is fabulous— when I arrived home after my trip, my cats were their usual happy selves, so I know they were well cared for by Nadine! She was very conscientious about prescriptions, litter, & treats and also did the little extras like closing curtains at night, playing with their toys. Highly recommend!
Nadine was wonderful! She followed our routines and even got us photos of our shy cats for the daily check-ins. Nadine stopped in daily with our two cats and took care of their needs plus helped us with a few other things like getting the garbage out and bringing in packages. The biggest plus is that it is a day later and our cats have returned to our standard routines with no problems. They seemed to have missed us, but Nadine did everything they are used to and we picked up right where we left off. We will reach out Nadine the next time we need to travel again.
