Dog Walkers in Homestead, IA

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 had a dog almost all my life and they have always been a passion. This summer I got the opportunity to volunteer at a dog boarding facility and learned how to care for dogs from puppy to senior and aid in medications they might need. I also got to work with the trainer and can help teach basic commands to dogs. I work full time as a Remote Medical Quality Specialist worker so I can be with your pet 24/7 if needed for your pets care! I will take the pet for walks, depending on weather will determine the length as well as the pet. I would also be willing to wash the pet for the client and help out in any way I could with them.

About: I have two mini goldendoodles who are my life. I've had them for over 6 years and they bring so much joy to my life! They love to play with other dogs and I'm always spoiling them. I've watched other pups before, giving them walks, spoiling them rotten. I'm very punctual and care for every dog like they're my own! Currently don’t have a full time job so I have availability all day! If you need a full sitter, they are more than happy to come to my house and spend time with my pups. I'm free after 5PM and on the weekends! I don't have a fenced in backyard but I do have two pups who can keep your baby entertained and wear them out! I give the best cuddles and love as it kills me to leave my pups with someone else so I get it! I can facetime whenever you'd like if it's an overnight stay, whatever makes you feel comfortable! :)

About: I've personally owned animals my entire life. I've raised 3 dogs in the past and currently own qthat absolutely love other animals and people! I also have 3 cats that are all extremely friendly and love new things. I currently work at an animal shelter working with dogs, cats, small mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians. I have experience with friendly animals, reactive animals, and shy animals. I'm very skilled at giving medications as I have to do it daily for my job. My schedule is very flexible and I'm also good in medical cases with animals. I don't have a degree in veterinary sciences, but work with strange cases daily and have a close connection with vet techs. I'm excited to open my heart to new animals! I currently work part time in the mornings and can stop in before my shift to do a check in, potty breaks, and feeding. Once I'm off in the afternoon, I can do more check-ins and walks. In the afternoons, I can stick around longer to spend more time with them. I have experience with positive reinforcement and am also okay with using dog crates if the need is there. I'm experienced with different types of harnesses and collars as well and have worked with dogs with many different allergies.

About: My experience includes behavior modification, rehabilitation and foster care. Since I was my daughters age I have been pet sitting and working with animals and would like to share the experience I work at home everyday but Thursday. We are available for dog walking and live close to a park trail and we are looking for a family interaction. Crate services, roaming and family integrated home. We are able to walk your animals and provide check ins. I know how animals are part of the family.

About: I’ve been around and have cared for animals basically my whole life with growing up on a farm and offering my services to others over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to care for a variety of animals for others from the age of 9! Neighbors, friends, family, and others have relied on me to walk, play, feed, water, and bathe their pets. Over the years I have cared for pets of all ages and I adapt to each of their unique personalities easily. Caring for animals has always come easily to me as it brings me joy making sure your pets are happy and healthy while in my care! I’m currently working a full time job, but I have plenty of time to care for and play with your fur babies! I’m available for in home care seven days a week, with the understanding that I might not be there all day as I work Monday-Friday, 7am-3:30pm. I am also available for overnight care and am open to boarding pets depending on size as I am currently living in an apartment with two cats. Your pet is my top priority when in my care, I will always be sure to take the time to play with your pet and make sure all their needs are met and that they are happy. I’m respectful of all house rules and will follow all specific instructions on how to care for your pet. I send pictures, videos and updates throughout your pet’s stay/care with me so that you can see your fur baby and know they are staying happy and well-cared for while you are away!

About: Animals have always stuck out to me. Dogs specifically have been a shoulder to cry on and a warm furry pillow to rest my head on and over the years I’ve learned so many things about them. I’ve always found companionship with any animal whether or not they’ve personally been mines or someone else’s. Dogs specifically have changed the way I treat other animals, people, and have given me a new perspective on life. I plan to have a very big family and it includes multiple kinds of dogs. I treat all animals with respect and love. I do not love anything the way that I love dogs. If you’re looking for a sitter with a great personality and a loving spirit for all four legged things- I’m your girl. I am currently a stay at home mom looking for lots to do! I have all the necessary tools to make sure your pet has a cozy stay! I have a spacious home and living area and my neighborhood has plenty of dog friendly activities. I have a 4 year old who is a friend to all and he will be sure to keep your dog company as well!

About: I’ve taken care of many different types of dogs and cats and have often pet sit for friends and family. Growing up I had 3 Labs and a German Shepard so I’m no stranger to larger pets! I’ve also pet sit for friends that have had both large and small dogs, so I’m familiar with all sizes! Currently I have 2 cats so I know how to handle them as well. I’m experienced in walking, bathing, and feeding! I’ve also taken care of dogs with health needs and am able to administer medicine if you’re dog requires it! I am currently a grad student at the University of Iowa and have a lot of flexibility with my class schedule to drop by and take care of pets throughout the week and weekends. Especially during the weekdays when you may be away at work! When letting dogs outside to play or go to the bathroom I will always remain outside to watch them. I will also make sure to feed them on time and take them out for walks so they get plenty of exercise!

About: We have had family dogs for the last 40 years. Now I am loving grandma to two cattle dogs and one sheepadoodle! Looking for more grandpets to love on! I am retired and available any time! My granddogs live out of town so I miss them and need local pups to love on and spoil! I feel like I have a special language with dogs. They listen to me and know my “I mean business” voice. Even the wildest of pups (my grand-cattle dogs) knows who is in charge.

“Julia has great communication. Moose is always excited for his walks and is always checking the door in anticipation she’s there. We are so appreciative that Julia gets him moving (part walk/part run) and also works on his commands while out.”

Heather S.

“Alexis has been quick to respond, very friendly and wants the best for your pet. We’ve had a good experience with her and know that we can trust her with our puppy! She does great at communicating when we ask about the day or need to tell her something that wasn’t previously discussed.”

Allison J.

“Auden has been fantastic. We have an older dog who needs extra care and she is wonderful with him. Her communication and timeliness are outstanding. We know our little guy is in great hands.”

Scott B.

“She was super awesome and good with Leo and super Knowledgeable”

Bailey M.

“Robert is very nice and great with our dog Junior. He was easy to communicate with, timely, and even dried off our wet pup with his own sweatshirt! Would recommend without a doubt.”

About: Grew up on a farm and have loved animals ever since I can remember.Enjoy being around them and taking care of them. For the most part there has always been a dog & or cat in my household. Very patient so I think that comes in handy with all the different personalities that pets have. Being reliable is super important to me so if i say I'm going to do something or be there at a certain time its true 99% of the time. Currently have a cat and its hard for me to imagine not being around him every single day. If you let me take care of your pets they will be in great hands!! Work for my self mostly so I can set my own hours. An early riser, who wants to accomplish something new every single day. Plan my schedule out 2 weeks in advance I don't take care of pets in my home because I rent my place out for airbnb. Enjoy going to new places to see new pets

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.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was a child. We’ve had all the way from a tiny Maltese to a Siberian Husky! I don’t think I have a favorite breed, but I do favor my senior dog (14+ year old) beagle, Rose, a bit 😉 I work 3-12 hour shifts per week but I am free any time outside of that. Morning, evening, or night would be fine by me. I don’t plan on caring for pets on my home, as I currently rent. However, I will follow your wishes on how you would like me to care for your babies!

About: Starting with Rover comes down to my passion and love for animals. Lending a helping hand is in my nature, what better way than with animals? I will treat your pets like family, with my utmost attentiveness and care. I am an RN, working day and night shift - most weeks, my schedule allows for several days off. I will have a flexible schedule in order to help those looking for pet care. Each week is different as far as work days go. My family had a cockapoo growing up, and I now have my own dogs, Harley, Rocco, and Teddy. I was surrounded by animals growing up whether it be my own, family, neighbors or even strangers. I have had many experiences caring for my friends and loved ones animals. I have experience with walking dogs, housesitting and overnights, as well as letting animals out during the daytime. I treat every animal as my own, giving each the time and care they need and deserve.

“First time using Rover - simple enough and was lucking to find Scott who kept Misty for the day while taking friends to Dollywood. Nice that you can text and check up on your kid too. I'd definitely feel comfortable using Scott again if ever in the area again.”
