“Tiffany was fantastic with my pets for overnights. She sent pictures and made sure everything was taken care of. She always contacted me if she had any questions. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was little, around 11 years old, but have lived with cats since I was 2 years old. I do have a senior cat, and ferret. Im experienced in giving cats, dogs and ferrets medication for health issues they have had in the past. I’m not expert in everything, but I’m not afraid to learn! I’m currently working full time, but enjoy a busy schedule and a good routine. If I need a specific day off, I can work it out. I’ve been working since I was 14, it has made me more responsible, reliable, and determined. I have two cats, and one ferret, I'm fully responsible for them. I take care of their daily care, vet visits, trim their nails, give them baths, and everything in between. They have been under my care for more than 5 years. I’ve had experience with rodents, birds, and dogs.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I have cared for them when they have been at there very best and worst and given them the most love. I’m currently a senior in high school but I only go for a couple hours a day. I also work part time at before and after care. I’m mostly looking for times to fill in during my free time, including during break and over the summer. I will make sure that everything thing is safe in the area for that pet. And they have everything they need during my time with them.

“Asked Sue last minute to drop by my house and take care of my two girls-- She was great! Updated me with pictures and activities. She's extremely trustworthy and kind. Wouldnt hesitate to have have watch my girls again!”


About: I’ve been taking care of the family dogs ever since I was 8! I’ve been the one who’s fed them, taken them on walks, and everything else they need. I’ll treat your pet like family, and I’m an animal lover through and through ❤️ I work full time at a Cardiology office, 8:30-5, so if you have a similar schedule I would be a great fit! I’d make sure the pets’ feeding schedules and potty schedules stay the same :) When I watch pets I generally stay at the clients home, treating like a hotel room and keeping it spotless! Generally I find it’s the comfiest for pets as well so they feel safe in a known environment.

About: I've been taking care of animals ever sense I was 10. Grew up near a farm where they housed horses and donkeys and cared for dogs all my life. I'm currently working on rebuilding a farm and making it enjoyable for people of all ages. Work around chickens, ponies, and dogs all day. Also have some farm cats that also roam around the farm. I have a partially fenced in yard for your dog to roam free in and plenty of barn and indoor space to stay cool or for overnight stays. Two friendly dogs that just want to be pet all day protect the property from any intruders. Plenty of indoor space for smaller dogs and sleeping at night. Lots of outdoor running room and farm animals to meet all under watchful attention.

“Sydney is amazing with my two dogs! She always makes sure they get plenty of exercise and snuggles, and sends multiple daily updates and pictures when I’m out of town! I plan on continuing to book with Sydney in the future, and I definitely recommend her to take great care of your pets!!”


About: I have worked at a dog boarding kennel/shelter for over two years where I have gained a huge amount of skills and experience caring for dogs. On a daily basis I walk, feed, medicate, bathe, clean up after, and cuddle with dogs of every size and temperament. Additionally, I've worked at farms and owned quite a few fur-babies of my own so I'm quite comfortable caring for all sorts of animals including cats, ferrets, guinea pigs, rats, rabbits, fish, chickens, parrots, horses, goats, donkeys, and more! I am currently on summer break and only working part time so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets! I will carefully follow any instructions you give me and can provide a huge variety of services from walking to bathing, playing fetch, cuddling, medicating, and more. I would love to help take care of your furry friends while you're away, and I will always make sure they are given the best care possible, and of course lot's of love.

About: I've dedicated many years to caring for pets, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve. My experience extends beyond my own furry companions, as I've also helped friends by looking after their pets. This involvement has deepened my passion for animals, allowing me to understand their various needs and personalities. Whether it's walking dogs, feeding cats, or providing a comforting presence, I've always found joy and fulfillment in these responsibilities. I'm currently working part time so I have a lot of spare time to care for pets. I'm available on any days and hours I'm not scheduled to work. I will 100% monitor outside potty breaks and play time and use a leash and harness for outside walks. I fallow all guidlines given to me by a customer in their home along with keeping open communication at all times (which means I could be reached at any moment).

“Lexie was one of the best we have ever had …. She loved the dogs, took care of extra things around the house and was super responsive! She is our “ go to” now and hopefully for a long while!”


About: I have owned dogs for 14 years now, learning from a young age how to properly take care of them. I am on a pre-vet college track, and have volunteered at the King George Animal shelter, along with the Animal Rescue League of Iowa. I am currently available all days of the week with very flexible hours, so I can easily fit daily pet care into my daily routine. In a clients home I will follow all instructions and be mindful of others belongings. The pet will be taken care of and played with as directed.

“Hailey to the rescue! My husband and I were in a pinch and required in-home dog sitting last minute. Hailey was quick to help and clearly communicated any adjustments to the schedule required to accommodate her day to day schedule. Pups were happy and house was well kept. Would book again in a heartbeat ☺️.”
