About: I have a passion for animals and I have taken care of various pets over the years. I have experience with both large and small dogs, such as Labradors, Huskies, Poodles, and Chihuahuas. I know how to handle different temperaments and energy levels, and I can provide walks, playtime, feeding, grooming, and medication if needed. I also have experience with short hair cats and can keep them company, clean their litter box, and give them treats and toys. I also have experience with amphibians, such as frogs, salamanders, as well as fish. I can maintain their habitat, feed them live or frozen food, and monitor their health. I love all pets and I treat them with respect and kindness. My schedule is very flexible as I do a lot of contract work at my job which has free hours and a less structured schedule. As a professional pet sitter, my duties encompass providing comprehensive care for pets. This includes feeding, exercising, grooming, administering medication, offering companionship, and maintaining a safe and comfortable environment. I strive to ensure their well-being and happiness, treating them as part of my own family.

About: I have a 13 years old dog who has been with me for ten years! I’ve had tons of experience with feeding, giving medicine, and of course baths. (He also wears diapers and grippy socks so I do have some senior experience). I work part-time and I am in college online so I am very free! I work three days a week 9-5 so I’m free to stay every night and able to feed and walk in the mornings. I have a boyfriend who would be helping with this and he is only doing school online so he would be very available to help me out with midday walks or whatever would be needed. I pride myself in getting along with animals well and helping them stay calm. I love to chill out but I am also always up for a good walk so I should be able to get along with any furry friend!

I adopted my dog Charlie a year ago. She’s very attached to me and becomes frightened to be away from me. Sophia is very patient and gentle with her and Charlie is gaining confidence with each walk. Great communication and very friendly. I highly recommend Sophia.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on animal experience and commitment to consistent, attentive care. I’m currently a pre-veterinary student with experience caring for a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, horses, and farm animals, which has taught me how to recognize behavior changes, follow detailed care routines, and handle animals confidently and calmly. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to build trust, maintain routines, and treat each pet as if they were my own. Reliability, communication, and your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priorities. I currently work part time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to plan my days around pet care. I’m able to provide consistent check-ins, walks, feedings, and companionship while ensuring pets are not left alone for long periods. I’m organized, dependable, and communicate clearly so owners always know when I’ll be with their pets. When caring for pets in clients’ homes, I focus on maintaining their normal routine and environment to minimize stress. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and household guidelines. I treat each home with respect, keep spaces clean, and provide regular updates with photos and messages so owners feel confident and informed. My goal is to ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away.

About: I have been around animals my whole life and I love them! I have a 4 year old kitty named Bunny and she is everything to me. My best friend has a mini Australian shepherd that is very friendly and I love being around him. I also have watched my brother and sister in law’s dogs for 2 years now. They ranged from having 4-8 dogs at different points and I would love to go stay with them, feed them, and get to play with their fluffy selves! I am working limited hours at this time, so I am available weekdays 8 a.m.- 2 p.m. and 5:45 p.m.- 9 p.m., and also weekends any time! I will monitor the animals needs and be there in any way I am needed. I will take them outside as much as directed, feed them, make sure they have water, and love on them!

About: While I've had pets my entire life, I've professionally cared for the animals of others for nearly 10 years. While I was in the Army, I fostered for a local rescue and did the basic training and socialization for young, abandoned puppies to get them ready for forever homes. While pursuing my BS of Animal Science at ISU (Class of '19) I worked at Lloyd Veterinary Medical Hospital with equines of all ages, and spent several years as professional Animal caretaker working at the USDA with small animals. I have experience with dogs and cats, young and old, as well as rodents and other small animal pets, geckos, and freshwater aquarium fish. I am semi-retired, and work my own hours part time so schedule is flexible and it's easy for me to fit your pet(s) into my daily life Your pets will be most comfortable in their own environment, and I am committed to caring for them in a way most similar to what they are accustomed to.

About: Dogs all have their own personalities, and I love getting to know each one. I’m great at reading body language and adjusting to what your dog needs, whether that’s space, extra patience, or all the cuddles. I also have experience with basic training and reinforcing good habits during walks and playtime, so your dog gets consistency and care. My goal is to make sure every tail wag is genuine and every pup feels safe, happy, and understood while you’re away. I currently work 8:00am to 5:00pm or 9:00am to 6:00pm depending on the day. I am not opposed to using my lunch break to check on pups either. So I'm there for your pups in the evening and on the weekends! In my home, dogs have free range of the downstairs area, with plenty of space to relax and play. Potty breaks are frequent and flexible, and I’m happy to bell-train if owners want that extra convenience. Since I have stairs, I can block them off for senior pups or dogs who aren’t comfortable using them. My neighborhood is very dog-friendly and walkable, so your pup will enjoy safe, regular walks and fresh air. When I’m caring for pets in your home, I adapt fully to your space and routine to keep your dog comfortable and stress-free. I follow your instructions closely, making sure feeding, walks, and playtime feel familiar, so your pet stays happy and secure even while you’re away.

About: I have two Border Collies (5 and 3.5 years old) raised since they were tiny pups. Friends and neighbors often ask me to care for their dogs — the pups are happy, relaxed, and owners are always pleased. I love spending time with dogs and treat every one like my own. I work from home, so I have plenty of free time throughout the day to play with and care for dogs. I can easily fit in drop-in visits, walks, or extra attention whenever needed. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy in my care. At home or during drop-in visits, I provide a clean, calm environment and supervise pets at all times. I follow any instructions from owners regarding feeding, exercise, or medications, and I always give plenty of attention and love. My goal is to make every visit a positive and stress-free experience for both the pet and the owner.

About: I have worked at an animal hospital for three years and I have taken an animal science class. Working at the hospital has really prepared me for emergency situations. I can give your pet medications, both oral and injections such as insulin. I have always loved working with animals and one of my favorite things is working with pets on the shy side to bring them out of their comfort zones. As my late dog became older I really became familiar with senior pet care. I am very patient with the animal and all I want is for them to be comfortable. Keeping a younger pet with high energy entertained and exercised is also no problem for me! I have plenty of time during the day and evening to stop by and walk and/or feed any animals, as I am currently in school online. I have a fenced in patio with a yard behind it, and for boarding situations, I can keep my cats separate if it is an issue or I can simply stop by or pet sit.
