Samantha is so great to work with! She follows directions perfectly and takes excellent care of all the (3) dogs we’ve had her sit for (doggie day care). She communicates effectively and timely and we never have to worry.

I have a dog and this is the first person I call to help when I need it. Great at keeping dogs entertained and active. Always taking dogs on walks to get their exercise and is overall great with them. Great fit for anyone looking for a pet caregiver!

About: I have been a dog mom since I was 15. I currently have 2 dogs of my own, a shihtzu and a Labrador retriever. Dogs are members of our family and get treated as such! I am a stay at home mom. I have a lot of kids, but 3 of them currently stay home during the day. I have a lot of time to go to parks or a simple walk around the pond. It will be just me tending to your pets needs, other people in photos are just part of our dog loving family! I have 2 very friendly dogs in my home and very loving children. There's have a really nice pond to walk around and a lot of toys to play with.

Cynthia took great care of our dog, Maizy! She went above and beyond to make sure was Maizy was comfortable and engaged. Maizy can be a picky eater and Cynthia even got her to eat a full meal. She was lovey to communicate with, was very responsive, and sent lots of pictures. We will definitely be dropping our pup off with her again!

Mallory was wonderful! I'm ISU alum/season FB ticket holder (live in Indiana) and Mallory was great for doggy daycare while I was at FB game. She sent a pic, update within the first hour so that I knew my old pup was doing well at her home. I plan to use her in the future (daycare while at football games).

I could not have been happier with how the day went for my 2 girls while staying w Jalyn. She communicated very well throughout from booking to, sending me some beautiful action pictures. I am looking forward to booking w Jalyn again in the future. Mija was actually worn out at the end of the day. Which is not easy to do, so that is greatly appreciated

Beth is AWESOME!!!!!!! Beth was so welcoming from the start! I had a very unusual need as I was traveling across the state and needing a dog sitter for just a few hours so I could take my wife on a side trip that didn't accommodate dogs and she not only graciously accommodated my plan but she was willing to switch gears at the drop of a hat to change things from one planned time to a different planned time! This is not to say that she should be able and or expected to do this all the time, just that she is awesome and helped make our perfectly special trip become an awesome trip!! And the dogs clearly loved her and felt VERY comfortable with her!!! Thank you Beth!

About: Seasoned dog owner and enthusiast seeking four-legged friends! I care for all pets like they are my own as they deserve nothing less. Instagram: @tellurdogihavetreats My passion for animals emerged even before my summers volunteering at the Ames Animal Shelter as a young girl. Any opportunity to pet sit for family or friends had me thrilled I was able to spend time with an animal. I now have three years of professional dog grooming experience, starting off working as a dog bather then eventually graduating grooming school. I left my job as a dog groomer last year and I currently work part time at a vet clinic. The services I currently offer include: » Dog Walking » In Home Care » Doggy Daycare » Boarding » House Sitting » Pet Transportation ✓ Extended stays and special requests are welcomed! LGBTQ+ friendly 🌈 I have 15+ years of caring for dogs and am comfortable handling dogs of all sizes. I have four years of experience administering oral medication to dogs as well as history caring for diabetic pets. I am also comfortable caring for cats, reptiles, small animals, fish, and exotic animals as I worked at a pet store for about a year caring for all kinds of creatures from cats, ferrets, fish, hamsters, snakes, bearded dragons, and chinchillas. Reach out with any questions you may have. I look forward to hearing from you, and give your pets my best! 🫶 I currently live in Ames but commute to Urbandale where I work part time at a vet clinic. My shifts range from 4-8 hours depending on the day. I prefer to do a meet and greet before booking any services. The meet allows your pets to get acquainted with me, allows us to walk through a typical day in your home, and helps cover the bases of any potential obstacles we may face while in my care so I am well prepared for whatever situation that may arise.

I have known Christina since high school we are both huge animal people. She has always cared for her fur babies better than most and she has always taken care of friends and families fur babies when they leave town or just need a sitter. I trust this lady with my fur babies and I have trust issues , trust had to be built and maintenaned . Christina is a honest trustworthy person she has always been a good person would good values . She is an active person with her pup so she will be a good fur baby sitter/walker because she loves to do that stuff anyway especially with fur babies ☺️

Our 10 week old puppy had a great time with Gina while we were gone for the day. She had a large fenced in yard for him to play in, lots of toys to help with his puppy energy and soft places for him to sleep! We are thankful he was taken good care of and gave us great peace of mind.

About: I’ve lived on a farm my whole life and have extensive experience caring for dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens and cows. We have two breeding dogs at our farm and our family has raised and trainee Australian Shepherd puppies. We are well acquainted with the special needs of working with and training dogs and always have someone willing to play with a four legged friend. At the moment we have chickens, cows, cats and dogs on our property. I stay home with my youngest son, do all our animals chores and also work part time from home. I have adequate time to care for an additional dog or two. We live on a farm and do not have a fenced in yard. If your dog has good recall, he or she could happily burn some energy in our yard with our two friendly dogs or alone. I can accommodate your well trained dog in our house loose or also in a crate if desired.

About: I have been volunteering at animal shelters for 4 years now, and I previously had an internship training golden retrievers. I have a 1 year old husky… so basically a raptor, and a 4 months old pitbull dachshund mix. Caring for animals fits seamlessly into my schedule since I have a dog at home, ensuring I'm always around and attentive. Your pets will receive the same love and attention as mine! I live an apartment with a fenced in dog park and plenty of space inside as well, plus lots of running around with my dogs! ❤️
