House Sitting in Homestead

“Kayla went above and beyond for our boy! She is super reliable and took such amazing care of Jax! Just to add how amazing she is, our garage code wasn’t working and she stayed over an hour locked out trying to figure out a solution to make sure she got to Jax while we were out of town!! A+ from us!”

“Nicole has a natural instinct with dogs. She took time to meet our 3 dogs twice before she would be staying at our house for 3 days. The dogs welcomed her easily. We enjoyed the pictures of the dogs while we were away. I look forward to having Nicole dog sitting again.”

About: What sets me apart is real, lifelong experience—not just sitting. I rescued my own dog when he was a puppy and have been hands-on with him for 4.5 years. Through these years I've conducted my own training successfully, gone through medical emergencies, dealt with injuries, and have gained a lot of experience in doing so. I grew up caring for animals of all types: dogs, cats, snakes, birds, and a few wonderfully odd creatures. I’m calm, attentive, and deeply respectful of every animal’s needs. With me, pets aren’t just watched—they’re understood, safe, and genuinely cared for. I also completed Nero's Law training in 2025, which taught me canine CPR and basic life support for working and/or aggressive and non-working/non-aggressive dogs. I recently left the government and am traveling full-time around the country with my dog Murphy, so my schedule is extremely flexible. I will be available any time and date for the foreseeable future. If I'm in your area for a while, please reach out! I will be living and traveling in a van full-time, which makes it very easy for me to pay full attention to your pets needs when I'm in your home. I'm extremely respectful, clean, and understand needs such as crating, giving medications, doing basic training, and any other requirements your pup may have.

“Joy was fantastic! Super responsive, flexible, and took great care of our little pal.”

About: I provide attentive, loving care for both dogs and cats, making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and understood. I’m patient, dependable, and take the time to learn every pet’s routine, personality, and needs. I currently work full-time. I would be available to walk/feed/play during the weekdays after work for a couple of hours. I have more time on the weekends (Friday-Sunday) for feedings, walks, playtime, check-ins, overnight care, etc. to make sure pets get the time and care they need. I would be able to care for pets in your home. Safety and trust are my top priorities in every home. I follow all care instructions closely and take time to understand each pet’s routine, behavior, and comfort level. My goal is to make the pets feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while keeping pet parents informed with regular updates and photos.

“Katelyn is awesome! She sent photos of her time with my dog and kept my condo nice and tidy. It was a huge relief to have someone so reliable over the holidays. Highly recommend!”

“Our boys and home were well cared for while we were away. They seemed very happy and content. They are 3 and 4 years old with higher energy. We had daily updates and photos :)”

“First time using Rover so was slightly nervous and wasn't sure what to expect but Kaylyn helped to make it a seamless and great experience! Our girls can be big needy lapdogs at times and when we got home they said Kaylyn did great, thay felt safe and loved 😁 We love using family when able (wasn't available for this trip), but it's great to know we have a reliable back up with Kaylyn. We will be using her again in the future I'm sure.”

“Tiffany took great care of our dog Cody. Her daughter was great with Cody also. We have used her twice for house sitting Cody.”

About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and currently have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you truly trust with your pets. My background is in education, which means I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and very comfortable creating structure and routine — something dogs thrive on. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I’ve fostered puppies and supported hospice animals, giving me experience with dogs at every stage of life. From energetic puppies who need consistency and training reinforcement, to senior dogs who need a gentle pace and extra care, I’m comfortable adjusting to each dog’s unique personality and needs. I offer walks, drop-ins, and boarding, and I treat every pet like part of my family. Safety, communication, and compassion are my top priorities. You can expect regular updates, photos, and peace of mind while you’re away. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and boarding with advance notice. Evenings and weekends are especially flexible for me, making it easy to accommodate work schedules and weekend getaways. Beginning June 1, I will be located full-time in North Liberty, which will allow for even greater availability and flexibility for local clients. I do my best to be dependable and communicative, so if you reach out with dates in mind, I’ll always respond promptly. How I Care for Pets Whether pets are in my home or their own, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. Structure, safety, and affection are my top priorities. In My Home (Boarding/Daycare): Pets are treated like part of the family. I follow your feeding schedule, exercise routine, and any training expectations you have in place. Dogs receive regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m experienced with puppies who need consistency and supervision, as well as senior or hospice dogs who may need a slower pace, medication, or extra comfort. I maintain a calm, clean environment and always supervise interactions carefully. In Your Home (Drop-Ins/Walks): I respect your space and your pet’s established routine. I’ll ensure they’re fed, exercised, given fresh water, and provided enrichment and affection during each visit. I’m attentive to behavior changes and will communicate updates clearly, including photos and notes so you have peace of mind while you’re away. Because of my background in education, I’m patient, observant, and very comfortable reinforcing training, boundaries, and routines. I understand that every dog is different, and I adjust my care to match their personality, age, and energy level. My goal is always the same: your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for — and you feel completely confident while you’re away.

“5 stars for Julia! She took incredible care of my cat and was super reliable. I came home to a happy pet and a clean house. She is professional, thoughtful, and left absolutely no mess. I highly recommend her!”

“I used this app because I needed a last minute dog sitter because I was able to go to the Iowa game. Friendly, professional, and went above and beyond to drop my pooch off back to me after the game. Five stars!”
