Dog Walking Holbrook

About: With over 20 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and even small pets like mice, rats, hamsters, and fish, I bring a lifetime of knowledge and passion to pet care. I’m a Certified Veterinary Technician (CVT) with 7 years of veterinary experience and 1 year working in a pet resort, so I’m skilled at safely handling pets of all temperaments — from nervous pups to the spiciest of cats (I have one of my own!). I’m also experienced with administering medications and providing calm, compassionate care to ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m currently not working, so my schedule is completely open. I have plenty of time to provide your pets with all the attention, care, and love they need. With my veterinary technician background, safety and trust are always my top priorities. While in your home, I provide a calm, secure environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I’m skilled in reading body language, handling nervous or fractious pets, and administering medications when needed. Every pet in my care is treated like family, with plenty of patience, compassion, and attention to their unique needs.

About: Hello I’m Joy. I live in Oxford where I work remote for the University of Iowa. I have been passionate about pets my whole life! My family always had pets; dogs, cats, birds, etc while I was growing up. I am very outgoing, I love taking my dog Rosy to the parks and on walks. I want to see more happy more happy tails in the neighborhood! I’m looking forward to meeting your pup, and getting them out for much needed exercise or just some nice couch cuddles and scratches! I work remote from the University of Iowa, so I’m at your pets beck and call! Just my chihuahua mix, Rosy and I will take at least 2 walks a day. I am flexible to what your pet needs; lots of walks to lap time cuddles! My apartment has a generous front and backyard, as well as plenty of sidewalk paths for walks in every direction. I have crates if your pet finds kenneling comfortable, or many sizes of dog beds in most every corner.

“Auden has given walks to our dog, Mochi, over the last six months. She was a lifesaver after I had a baby in January and it was harder for me to have the time to walk Mochi, especially in the cold weather. Mochi especially loved going on walks in Hickory Hill Park with her. Thank you, Auden!”

About: I have had dogs and cats since I was born. My parents share the same love for animals as I do, and I think I love them more honestly! I’ve dealt with losing a pet, and adding new additions to the family. In my eyes no breed of dog or cat is superior and I would love to meet all the pets I can!! I work part-time so I will put the days I am available into the schedule! On my days off I would be more than happy to take your dogs for walks or do drop in visits with dogs and cats! I also marked all days as available because my hours can be funky and I can sometimes work only 4 hour shifts. I take my dogs for walks frequently. They are a bit stubborn sometimes (especially my olde english) but after we get walking they love being outside! The summer heat gets to them both though, so I would love to get outside!

About: I have experience pet sitting as well as currently working at a Doggy Daycare/Boardinh facility! I grew up on a farm, so I am used to working with animals, and I also have pets of my own! I have taken care of a large variety of pets, from puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats. I am also used to giving medication to pets that require it! I currently am working part time at a pet care facility, so I would love to incorporate more pet care into my life! I am happy to help wherever I can, however early or late needed! I have a great ability to read a pets body language and help them get used to me when visiting them in home. I also understand boundaries and love walking pets, while also keeping them under control and safe!

About: I have had dogs and cats in my life for as long as I can remember. In addition to my own fur family, I've watched several other's fur babies for the past 10 years. I work from home, so I'm home the majority of the time. That means your animals always get the attention they need, plus always another animal for companionship. I don't have a fenced yard, but I ALWAYS tether or take them out on a leash when at my home. I do like to give treats like kongs for added stimulation as well. I do have crates or have room for crates for sleeping or if they need alone time.

“Our Teddy loves his time with Isabelle! He comes back ready for a nap! Isabelle is patient and kind. We couldn’t ask for anything more for our new rescue, as he works on training.”

About: I have cared for cats and dogs my whole life. My family had labs and border collies at home when I was younger, and I currently have two cats. I am a teacher in the Iowa City school district. Currently, I am fully available for the summer. I will have evening and weekend availability during the school year. I am very sensitive to the needs that different pets can require. I have two cats that are very different and require different types of care. I am happy to tailor services to the needs of your pets.

About: I began providing pet care at 13 years old, starting with friends and family before expanding through social media to serve a wide range of clients. My experience includes dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, medication administration, enrichment, and personalized care. What began as a passion has grown into a trusted, professional pet care service. For more about my background, visit me at Jet Set Pet Care. Animal care is intentionally built into my daily and weekly routine to ensure consistency and reliability for every client. I structure my schedule around morning, midday, and evening care windows to accommodate feeding times, walks, litter maintenance, and enrichment visits. I limit bookings to maintain quality and punctuality, allowing me to provide attentive, unrushed care. Weekly planning includes route organization, client communication, and follow-ups to ensure each pet’s needs are met. Pet care is not a side task for me — it is a priority and a structured part of my routine. I tailor my care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and the specific service requested. In a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal schedule to reduce stress — including feeding, fresh water, walks, litter box cleaning, medication if needed, enrichment, and plenty of affection. I closely monitor behavior, appetite, and overall well-being and provide detailed updates with photos.

“Sidney was fantastic with my dog. Super easy to communicate with and has been very flexible. Recommend without hesitation!”

About: I have had a pets my entire life, mostly dogs and cats. I currently have 2 labs and 1 golden doodle who roam the yard with our farm animals; chickens and ducks. They are kennel trained and wouldn’t be around customer pets. I have 3 kids who love learning and helping out with chores. They are in extra curricular activities but I would ensure a schedule with you before the time of watching your fur baby. My husband is home most nights and weekends (besides hunting seasons) and he works construction during the day. I am home most nights and weekends besides when I have drill with the Iowa National guard, I work full time with the guard. Our dogs currently have an underground fence but because we have one mischievous lab (Mayble) who likes to convince the other two to go on adventures, we kennel her and our youngest (Bailey, golden doodle) during working hours. Our eldest (Max) is pretty lazy and wonders our yard freely during the day and night without his collar.

I have experience with dogs ranging from Great Danes to Pugs! Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile!

About: I’ve taken care of a dog ever since I was 8, I love to be around animals and can’t wait to expand my pet caring experience! I am currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pets! My schedule can be pretty flexible to fit your needs! I will almost always be available if you need to contact me while I am taking care of your pets, and will do whatever you instruct me to!

About: I've taken care of animals, both my own and others, for my entire life. Most recently, I've cared for dogs and cats while nannying and babysitting. I'm able to multitask, follow feeding and medication schedules and am more than willing to get outside in the Iowa heat for walks and bathroom breaks. I currently work in the evenings so I'm able to drop in during the mornings and regular work hours if needed. I'm also available for the occasional overnight care, if needed for your pet. Keeping your pet calm, safe and happy is my top priority. As I'm coming into you and your pets space, I understand that there may be so nervous/stressed behaviors. I do my best to mitigate and manage these behaivors by comunicating with the owners about your pets needs, boundaries and any tendencies they may have when meeting new people.
