“Amazing, she did a wonderful job and Doodle loved her!”

About: I have had a pet throughout my whole life. I went to Veterinary Technician school and have worked with animals since! I also have a bachelors in Animal Science so I have some experience with larger pets as well! I currently do work a full time job, but I am looking to reconnect with animals in any way I can! I provide wonderful care and spend quality time with your pet whether it's a simple potty break or a weekend watch! I spend time with them outside of what I am there for! I do my best to learn the house rules and what the pet knows is ok and what isn't ok to do. Everyone is unique and each pet has their own type of training. I can work with all!
About: I grew up on a small farm in Iowa always surrounded by animals - indoor and out. As an adult I've had a shihpoo, yellow lab, and now have two lovable German Shorthair Pointers. Our old man Benson (11) and energetic pup Luna (2) are lovingly referred to as snuggle pigs. And they get ALL the snuggles as would your fur babies in our house. I'm able to care for puppies - seniors and am more than happy to follow any and all instructions to ensure your fur baby is given the top care. I have an odd work schedule as I take 24 hour call shifts where I'm often home. I will only accept sitting requests for times I'm available to provide adequate care to your furbabies! I have a fenced in yard for those staying with us. We have a lovely neighborhood for dog walks and am flexible to provide whatever else might be warranted for your pets stay.
“Very friendly and easy to work with!”
About: Hi, I’m Brooke! After pet sitting for numerous friends and colleagues, I thought I’d spread the love here. I have worked in healthcare for over eight years and am a Clinical Research Associate at UIHC in pediatric endocrinology. I have two cats of my own, two rescues named Tiny and Winnie. I’m also a huge Iowa Women’s Basketball and Indiana Fever fan 😊 I can give medications as well as holistic medical treatments to sick and/or medically complicated fur friends. I can walk and run with dogs or just hangout and hopefully solicit a few snuggles. I’m also the cat whisperer ☺️ I currently work from home twice a week with a flexible schedule. This allows me to attend drop-in visits on an as needed basis or spend extended time with your furry friends. I care for pets like I care for my own pets, like they’re family! I believe in treating animals how I would want to be treated, with dignity and respect. I do not believe in punishing animals for things they cannot control and instead believe in promoting environments for them to succeed.
About: I always had dogs and cats on my house! Currently have 2 great cats! We have a closed backyard for cats and dogs to play with! Anytime of the week works if I am not traveling for work. Cats and dogs are welcome overnight! Most of Weekends works for us and during the week only if I don't travel. Our cats are mainly indoor but they love to be at our back yard that is fully fenced. Same for dogs! Nothing they can be harmed with in our yard and or in house. Also, we do have 2 kids that love animals! Make sure your pet like kids.
“Oscar took great care of our two cats & went above and beyond to visit and play with them!”
“Nikki was very responsible and friendly and took great care of Oscar and my house.”
“How did I get so lucky to find a pet caregiver like Nadine. My 10-lb. Chinese Crested Terrier mix is diabetic and needed someone who had the comfortable skill of giving him his daily shots. Not only is Tiago pleased with my choice of his caregiver, but Dion, my Persian cat is thinking “purr-fect” for me too. Nadine enjoys her work - truly a pet lover and my pets know it. Tiago meets her at the door and Dion does to if he is up - needs his beauty sleep! Nadine is a ‘keeper’ and will be invited back time and time again in my home to care for my special pets.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine dedication to each pet’s happiness and routine. I treat every dog as if they were my own, giving them all the love, attention, and playtime they deserve. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s long walks, cuddles, or just someone to keep them company, I go above and beyond to meet their unique needs and give you peace of mind. I am studying for my NCLEX currently to become an RN, so I am free anytime to take care of your dog. I will be dedicate my free time to making sure your dog stays happy and healthy! When I walk your dog, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always use secure, well-fitted leashes and harnesses, and I stay aware of our surroundings to avoid any potential hazards. I take the time to build trust with each dog, letting them get to know me at their own pace so they feel confident and relaxed on our walks. My calm and caring approach ensures your pup feels safe, loved, and excited for every adventure we take together.
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’ve had dogs my whole life and currently care for my own energetic 1-year-old pup. I’m experienced with all ages and love giving dogs the attention, care, and playtime they need. Your pet will be treated like family! As a bartender who mostly works nights, my mornings and afternoons are wide open — perfect for walks, playtime, and check-ins. I love being outside and walking, so spending that time with dogs makes it even better. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I enjoy giving each pup the attention they deserve. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on keeping them safe, happy, and comfortable. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible—walks, feeding times, play, and downtime. In my home, pets have a cozy, dog-friendly space with plenty of love and supervision (plus a playful pup to keep them company if they enjoy dog friends). In a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure their pet feels secure and cared for while you're away.

Laura I.Star Sitter
“Laura and her family have cared for our dogs multiple times. They are always very well taken care of with lots of walks, love, and food. Over the past 15 years I’ve seen them care for their own dogs as well. Always well fed, groomed, and loved. Dogs are trained to have good manners and behave well with other animals. Great dog family!”
