Dog Sitting Hudson

“Maddy stopped in twice to check on our dog. Both times she arrived promptly, provided communication and pictures. Our dog loved having her visit and take time to cuddle and play. We will definitely book Maddy again and would recommend her.”

About: I love to walk with dogs. My dog Buddy and I have walked and ran countless miles around Cedar Falls for the past 9 years. I believe that every dog can benefit from exploring the environment outdoors, and regular exercise is very important, so I would love to make that happen for them. My schedule is very flexible so we can meet at a time that is convenient for you. My dog enjoys longer walks during the later morning time and/or at night with a playtime scheduled in between. Just message me and I will get back to you soon! My senior dog has lots of energy because we have exercised quite often together throughout the years. When we are not walking or running, we enjoy spending time on our balcony, watching tv together, and playing with toys. Buddy loves to run and play with giant bouncy balls. I would love to spend time with your pet and/or take them for a walk.

“Angie was great with new little puppy! She kept me updated and Nala was worn out when we got home! She was accommodating and welcomed Nala right into her home!”

About: I love dogs and have had dogs my whole life. I have been trusted by friends, family, and coworkers to take care of their dogs whether that be walking, bathing, or just simply staying with them! I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets. I only work four days a week starting at 5 pm! I can crate your dog if needed or I can provide loves of snuggles if they don’t use one! I don’t have any other dogs in my home so they wouldn’t have issues with any other animals.

About: Hi, my name is Lexi and I would love to take care of your pets! I have a wide variety of experience including; overnight care, drop ins, senior cat and dog care, medical needs, special dietary care, and kitten/puppy care. Pets have always been a huge part of my life and I would love to have the privilege to take care of yours! I will be a student at Hawkeye community college with two classes in person and the rest online. Meaning that my schedule is very open and suitable for pet care. I will also attend dance team practice three times a week for two hours each time. I have no other current occupation so I have a very open and available schedule. I am very respectful of clients homes and I’m always sure to be clean and safe. I will leave your home the way I found it, if not even better.

“I am a very nervous dogma (the mother of all dogs), and Jennifer S. is officially now included in the Circle of Trust in our family. She’s wonderful! The dogs did very well with her, communication was consistent and high quality. I would not hesitate to reccommend Jennifer to you! ❤️❤️❤️”

About: Graduated in 2020 with a Bachelor's degree in biology with an emphasis in zoology! As of now I am working full time at Eurofins, but can't help but miss the animal interaction. Previously I worked as a Vet Assistant and also have prior pet sitting and dog walking experience. I have had very minor experience in training/ working with goats through my time in college. My passion is working with animals no matter what species! I also have experience with reptiles through my time as a reptile keeper intern at Rolling Hills Zoo in Salina, Kansas! I have two cats and two dogs of my own. I would love to get to know more about you and your fur baby!:) I work full time from 8-4/5 everyday. I will have plenty of time for pet care in the evening and I will alternate weeks of boarding care vs in home pet sitting. I have a fenced in yard for pups, although it is fenced I never leave pups unattended! In my house I have 2 cats that are very use to dogs and a 3 year old son. So dogs for boarding need to be cat and child friendly. I am able to follow any care plan you have and meet needs such as dietary instructions and medications that may be needed.

“Kathleen was awesome and communicated with me. I couldn't have asked for a better person I didn't have to worry about anything and during our daughter's wedding it was such a relief Highly recommend”

“Tee-Tee overall is an exceptional at her job. She took good care of our dogs while we were away. We trust her coming into our home for the first time and she did not disappoint. Tee-Tee was not on the scheduled time that we both agreed upon. However she did communicate with me each time she was late to perform her duties. Overall I will definitely use her again because we are pleased with her service. :-)”

About: I've lived with cats and worked with dogs my whole life. From bathing my grandma's dog to walking pit bulls at the shelter, animals have always been a part of my life. Over the summer I'm looking for work wherever I can take it but mostly open. In the school year I am usually never gone more than 3 hours. I live in a pet friendly basement apartment with air conditioning. There is space for a kennel and other supplies if needed. It's not gigantic is very clean and the complex has a bark park.

About: I have four beautiful dogs and two gorgeous beautiful cats. I have a senior dog who just recovered from joint issues and who just graduated from therapy! I’ve always loved animals, pet care has been apart of my life since I was a kid, I’ve rescued and will always have time to fit my furbabies and anyones furbabies into my routine. I have a fenced in yard and 4 loving hyper active babies, I have the essentials in my home for their health and their own room!

About: Hi! I’m Patricia, and caring for animals has been a huge part of my life for over 20 years. I’ve spent years volunteering with animal rescue organizations, fostering animals in need, and caring for pets with a wide range of personalities, ages, and needs. Those experiences have taught me patience, consistency, and how to help animals feel safe and comfortable—even in new environments. When your pet is with me, they’re treated like family. Whether they love long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply relaxing with a familiar routine, I’ll make sure they receive personalized care and plenty of attention. I also know that trusting someone with your pet can be stressful. That’s why communication is one of my top priorities. I’ll keep you updated with photos, videos, and messages throughout each visit so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for. You can count on me to be dependable, attentive, and respectful of your pet’s unique needs and your home’s routines. My goal is simple: to provide the same level of care and love that I’d want for my own pets. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family member! During the week, I work full-time, but spending time with animals is one of my favorite ways to unwind! Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit, or some quality cuddle time, caring for pets is something I genuinely look forward to after work and on weekends. It doesn’t feel like a job—it feels like the best part of my day. My schedule allows me to provide dependable care while giving your pets the attention, love, and updates they deserve. When caring for pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, walks, litter box maintenance, playtime, or simply giving your pet the companionship they need while you’re away. I treat every home with the same respect I’d want someone to show mine—keeping things clean, locking up securely, and making sure your pet is safe, happy, and comfortable. You’ll also receive regular updates with photos and messages, so you always know how your furry family member is doing. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind, knowing your pet is receiving loving, dependable care.

About: I have two dogs right now. One is a yellow lab and the other is a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. The Spaniel is 3 and the lab is 2. So there is a lot of energy in the house. I have experience with walking them both while on camping trips, giving them baths, playing fetch and of course laying on the couch and cuddling. I also used to have an older Cavalier King Charles Spaniel so I have experience with all ages of dogs. I love to interact and give dogs all of my attention! I have currently just finished my first year of college at Buena Vista University. I am looking to make a little more money for this summer, and this job is something I know I would enjoy. I am not sure how my summer will plan out exactly yet, but I would love to make time and will be flexible! I live in the country with a 3 acre yard. There is plenty of room to run around and play fetch if needed. I also have two dogs on my own that are very friendly and playful, but can also be calmed if needed. I will respect your needs and wants as the dogs owner.

About: Hey I'm Syd! I'm a recent UNI graduate with degrees in Criminal Justice + Public Administration. During this season of life I’ve been able to embrace two of my favorite things: pet care + travel! As an avid traveler myself, I recognize the importance of trustworthy pet care. This is why I prioritize honest and reliable communication with pet owners. Going into my last year of college, I launched an in-home pet sitting business serving the Cedar Valley called Traveling Tails Pet Sitting. Traveling Tails allowed me to grow my own pet care experience and also mentor the 7 other sitters that make up our amazing team! One of my most rewarding pet care experiences was when I stayed with a very timid rescue dog named Coco. Coco was very untrusting at first and would not let me near her. However after giving her time and building trust by hand feeding her, we quickly became friends. I loved watching Coco break out of her shell and feel right at home until her family returned! I’m in a transitional season of life at this time which has allowed me to collaborate with owners to create the best schedule for their pets and their needs. I've lived in the same neighborhood for almost my whole life and feel very comfortable taking strolls around the neighborhood. My mom works from home and is almost always around. We live less than a mile away from the dog park and near a beautiful nature reserve and trail we frequent often :)

About: I have had numerous pets throughout the years. I have been trusted to take care of peoples cats, dogs, fish, and other animals! I had a cat and a dog growing up and miss having animals in the house, but can’t because of my husbands allergies! This will help me get my pet fix! I would be able to provide walks before and after work and more frequently on the weekends. I would be able to fit in some afternoons if it is close to my place of employment! I would keep a watchful eye on your pet while dog sitting. If out walking, I would ensure that your pet is kept at a safe distance from other animals. I would also make sure that your pet is treated with care and respect!
