“Shelley did a fantastic job watching after our two cats. Her daily pictures and detailed updates gave us all the confidence we needed to enjoy our vacation worry-free. We will be booking her again in the future!”

“I couldn’t be happier with the care my cat James received! Madison went above and beyond—sending daily updates, adorable photos, extra quality time, and making sure everything was just right while we were away. It was clear my cat felt safe, comfortable, and well-loved the entire time. She even helped by brushing him - It’s one of his favorite things! Coming home to a happy, relaxed kitty and a tidy space (accident free) made all the difference. I highly recommend Madison to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, communicative, and genuinely caring. Will definitely book again! Thank you Madison! You’re amazing!”

About: I have owned pets my whole life. My two Bernese Mountain Dogs both recently passed and I would love to care for your pets as I get over their loss. If you are requesting house sitting M-F please be aware that I work full time days so it's basically just drop-ins and my house sitting does not include sleeping overnight at your home. I am not currently offering in-home pet care at my residence. Will update if this changes in the future. No pricing has been provided for this particular service.
“This was our second time using them to watch our animals, they just watched our cats this time & they did a great job! They regularly kept us up to date with pictures & took the time to give them some lovings & play time on top of keeping the litter boxes clean & feeding them. They're definitely one of our regulars now that we'll always trust with our babies!”

“Landon was wonderful with our cats! On his first visit, he went out of his way to spend extra time with them and made sure they were well cared for. He cleaned the litter box daily and was even kind enough to take out the trash. We’ll definitely be using Landon again!”

About: I have my associates degree in Veterinary Technology! I previously have worked at dog/cat boarding facilities, and vet clinics. I have had dogs, cats, & goats throughout my life! I currently have my dog living with me here in Cedar Rapids, & 2 cats back in Indiana living with my parents. I am comfortable with any size dog & weight. I am also comfortable with medications if necessary! I am a travel agent that works from home. My schedule is extremely flexible! I am very comfortable with whatever your pet needs whether it’s ones who require constant attention & playing for an hour, or ones who prefer to have their own space. Whatever your pet needs I am happy to provide! My dog is spoiled to the max & I ensure your pet will receive the same treatment! I am down for just opening a door to let them out in their backyard, watching their favorite movie from the couch, playing with their toys, or strolls around their neighborhood!
“This is the second time we’ve used Nora. We have three dogs, so it’s quite a bit of juggling! We totally appreciate all the help she has done with feeding, letting out, and pills. We will use her again!”

“Mellette was so patient and great with our cats while we were out of town. She encouraged them to spend time with her without overwhelming their space. She let them get used to her at their own pace. We loved getting daily report cards and photos from Mellette. We will definitely use her again!”

About: I love taking care of any dog, I am very flexible with any type of dog! lazy? energetic? no worries i can do it all! I was around dogs pretty much my whole life. Whether it was a dog of my own or a friend/family members, i always loved taking care of dogs. Dogs are truly someone’s best friend and i know if i wanted a sitter for my dog I would want someone who loves dogs, cares and nurtures for any dog whether it’s yours or not. If you’re looking for someone like that? get ahold of me. Dog walking is my specialty but I can also be a trustworthy person your dog can trust as well as the owner. Pet care for me anytime for dog sitting/walking i can do weekdays after 3pm. Weekends I am fully available. Overnights I can check by 5am Always stay calm and let them get comfortable with me before over stepping any boundaries. But i love to run around and play with dogs!
“I left Kota with her for the day while at work and she kept me updated and made sure to give him attention. I got picture and video updates while at work and had an easy drop-off and pick-up. Would definitely recommend her and go back to her in the future!”

About: I love pets and I will take care of yours as if they’re my own! I have been around pets of all kinds my whole life; I can adapt my care to various needs because I know every pet is different! I was raised in a home with two cats and two dogs, so it was a small zoo! It was at a young age that I learned how to clean a litter box and how to clean up the dog waste in the yard, so nothing like that scares me off! I also have been taking care of others' pets since I was in elementary school! Primarily, my pet care experience has been with cats and dogs, but I have no trouble following instructions if you have a different kind of pet! I'd love the chance to love your pets! My current work hours fluctuate right now, but my current availability is: Mon-Thur as early as you need me until 3:45pm. I'm available after 9pm. Friday is entirely available Saturday I'm working 10am-2:30pm. Sunday is entirely available I always make sure to respect an animal’s space and boundaries until they clearly indicate they are comfortable with me. I never assume an animal is friendly until they show it!
“Amanda was great! There were weather issues and she was really transparent on when she didn’t think she could make a visit. She left out extra found and gave medication early to plan for the weather. My flight was cancelled due to weather and she was able to watch them later and gave me peace of mind. Would definitely recommend!”
