“Julie was fantastic and came to our rescue when we were in a really tight spot and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. We cannot wait to work with Julie again.”
“Tessa is amazing! She has a pup the same breed & similar age as our Darla & would bring her along on her visits. Darla loved having Tessa & her dog, Zula, come visit her. Tessa is now my #1 dog sitter & I'd 100% recommend her to anyone. ?”
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. I grew up on a farm in Iowa. I love animals and pets of all kinds! I have experience in dog walking/training ( taken an online class), dog sitting, and help take care of new born pups. I welcome all animals dogs and cats. I am available most days of the week. I work part time . I am also available for weekend sitting and boarding for your pets. I have a safe environment in my home, dogs are welcome to wonder. They can be walked as I do not have a fenced in yard. I have one dog who is very sweet and friendly whom also likes cats. If boarded they will have a safe comfortable place to sleep. They will have food for them , unless a special brand or diet is offered.
About: I have taken care of every size of dog and cat for the last 15 years of my life. I use to raise dogs for 8 years so I know how important the health of animals is to owners. I have taken care of anything from whelping mothers to senior dogs on their last day. Animals are just like children and should be treated with just as much attention! I am a stay at home mother to 3 beautiful children. Taking care of animals is my life as we live on a farm and tend to our animals daily just like we would take care of yours! We treat our dogs in our house just like our children, they are fed the best food and giving the most attention. We live on a 13 acre farm and have plenty of room for dogs to run and stay away from the roads. I have an extra room that can be a kennel room easily if you dog needs kennelled.
About: I grew up on a farm raising all sorts of animals. I have always had dogs in the house and love having animals around to enjoy! I work from home most days and have a more relaxed schedule during the summer which allows me to give some more attention to the pups during the day! I have a fenced in backyard. My dogs are crate trained but I do have a baby gate to prevent them from going down into the basement. They have access to roam around the house and get fresh water. I am able to monitor while I am working during the day!
About: I’ve owned pets my whole life! I have 4 of my own currently. I have experience with daily feeding, general health monitoring and providing an over all good day for pets. I am comfortable administering meds if needed. I work a full time job. An average of 3, 12 hr shifts a week. I am typically free during the day and at night when I’m not at work. I have a decent sized, fenced in yard. Enough room for many types of dogs to run around. I make sure that I do not allow pets access to harmful items.
“Excellent first experience, will definitely use this service again. Margo was great with my pets, and provided ongoing status update about my pets. Great communication with Margo. Thank you for a great experience.”
“Coree gave great care to our dogs while we were away. She provided routine updates and pictures at each visit. We look forward to having her care for our dogs in the future when we are away. Our dogs were very comfortable with her, even our dog that has anxiety, which shows how compassionate she is with animals!”
“Julie was great! I always felt like she was taking great care of my dogs, she sent me updates and went above and beyond to let me know how they were doing! Will definitely have her back again!”
About: I had 2 pit bulls thier whole lives and they were just like my babies. I trained both of them and they were the biggest babies I have ever seen. I am currently not employed so I have plenty of time to look after and spoil your fur baby or babies. I will love them like you do. I will care for your fur baby as if they were my own. I have a decent sized yard and will keep a very close eye on them
“Jacob was great with communication and my animals were all taken care of despite how short notice our trip was. I cant thank him enough for easing our worries knowing how well our fur babies were taken care of.”
