I am booking her again for my next trip this coming February.”

“Amy is wonderful pet sitter. She is very responsible and punctual. Amy asked a lot of details about my cat and how to care about him. It was very easy to communicate with her - she sent a report about each visit (with photos) and responded promptly and in detail. I recommend her as a pet sitter.”


7. Ali L.

“I highly recommend Ali’s services. I was looking for a sitter who not only loves my cats as her own but understands subtle changes in their health during my vacation. One of my cats is over 12 years old so I needed a sitter with veterinary skills and knowledges. I am glad that I have chosen Ali for my cats and will ask her again for next vacations. Her services are beyond my expectations.”

“We know Jolene as Jody. We had Jody care for brother & sister pupples Chase and Chloe. They were 16 yrs old. Jody cared for the with loving care. She has experience with animals and there was never a problem. Because of their age she kept them inside her home. I would recommend Jody's services to anyone that needed care for their puppies. We lost Chase and Chloe this last year.”


11. Caitlyn B.
“I can’t say enough good things about Caitlyn! I work a lot and sometimes have very long workdays if I have to do a double shift. Caitlyn always makes sure that my three dogs are happy and content. I have three dogs, two German shepherds and a Great Pyrenees. They can be a lot for people to handle sometimes but Caitlyn has done fantastic! I’d highly recommend for anyone else who wants their own pets taken care of like family!!”

About: I’ve had senior dogs, puppies, and the in-between. I grew up on a farm with cats, dogs, cattle, chickens, and ducks and currently have 3 dogs & 3 cats of my own - I’m definitely an animal lover, through and through. Your fur baby will be extremely well taken care of! I’m currently working remote with extremely flexible hours, so I’m able to care for your fur babies throughout the day and night, or whenever you might need me! I have 3 sweet dogs who are cuddle bugs, and 3 cats who just lay around and hang out. We love to take our dogs for walks, go hiking, play in the back yard, spend some time inside with our plethora of dog toys, or go to our timber outside of town to let them run around and play!

Her experience working at both a doggy daycare and volunteering at the Iowa City animal shelter for a year each solidified her skills. She also has solid experience house training both a kitten and puppy with excellent results. Maria can read the room, kennel, or cat tree and take excellent care of your pet. I wouldn't think twice about leaving my beloved pet with Maria. Have and will again!”
