Dog Walkers in Fairfield, IA

“Booked for dog walking and I am confident my dog also gives her 5 stars. My dog loved Ali immediately, first sight. Ali is attentive to her and clearly skilled with her. My dog is intelligent and PARTICULAR about leaving me. Notoriously bad at taking commands from strangers. When Ali arrived for just the second walk, my dog was loving her and ready to head out at the first sight of her. And my dog gets long walks every day the weather allows, so walking alone is not the draw here. Ali communicates beautifully with me as an owner, does great follow-up when she returns from the walk, and clearly loves what she does. No complaints in my house. I don't generally leave my dog care to anyone else, but Ali”

“Katherine is gentle soul who is good with dogs and cats alike. She looked after our kitten perfectly for us. I couldn't be more happy to recommend her for walking or sitting your furry friends. Know that your pet will have a playful and caring companion in your absence!”

About: I grew up with dogs, raised my kiddos with cats, and owned a homestead with cows, horses, chickens, rabbits, bees, an Australian Shepard and cats. I work at home, so my schedule is very flexible. I am available for early morning and evening. In addition to daytime visits, I am available for early morning or evening visits. I’m about as compassionate and trustworthy as you could find - I’ve actually been a surrogate mother for families that could not carry their (people) babies - more than once. And did I mention I adore dogs?

About: I have grown up caring for animals of all types (dogs, cats, horses, cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, and more) and have previously worked with a local vet to further my passion for animals. Many family and friends have trusted me with the care of their animals through the past 10+ years. I have experience with basic training commands that I have learned from attending training classes with my own dogs with positive reinforcement methods. I am thankful to have a work from home job that I can spend time with my dogs every day. I am generally off work by 4:30 pm on weekdays and am not required to work on weekends. I have one wonderful dog at home. My home would provide the ability to play with other dogs, relax in the house, enjoy time outside in a fenced in part of our yard or on the closed deck with country views. If your dog prefers a crate or a run for some alone time throughout the day that can be arranged as well.

“Raquel has always been a valuable asset to me and my dog. She is always willing to work with me on my schedule and very flexible! My dog loves when she gets to hang out with Raquel and is always in a good mood when she comes home. I would highly recommend her!”

“My poor khar has anxiety and my Long shifts at work don't help. Laura is as great with him !”

About: I’ve owned and trained dogs since I was 14. I currently compete in multiple sports with my own dogs. I have done board and train as well as pet walking and sitting services for many years. I have extensive experience in dogs, cats, reptiles (minus snakes), and fish tanks. I look forward to making your pet happy :) I generally work three days a week, often less than 25 hours per week. I enjoy pack walks as well as one on one time with a variety of animals. Pet sin my home will sleep in a crate, though they are otherwise just one of the family. At your home, pets will enjoy the comforts of home with some extra love and attention.

“I really appreciated Kennedy's flexibility for walking Stella and being able to walk her on such short notice. I could tell that it was a good walk for Stella as when I got home she was not as hyper as usual. I would highly recommend Kennedy!”

“This is the 2nd time we used Kristen. She is amazing with our dog. She takes great care of him. He’s really happy after his walks! I definitely recommend her.”

About: I’ve taken care of many animals since I was just a little kid. I’ve always held a special place in my heart for dogs, along with small critters. Just recently I moved from Wisconsin, working at a humane society there where everyday I did all the basic care routines/evaluations for approximately 40 dogs. It was a blast, but I’d also love to slow down, and give 1 on 1 attention to the needs of each. I am currently a pretty free person, beginning my career of dog training, Bait’s Purpose: K-9. I plan my future around my dogs, and training. I care for pets however is requested by the owner(s), this just varies on what each dog is comfortable with. Dogs are in great care, however.
