About: I have always loved animals and caring for them. I grew up taking care of mostly dogs, but I have experience with other animals like cats, goats, guinea pigs, and hamsters. I love meeting new animals and helping care for them. I am currently a student at Iowa state but am available all day Tuesdays and Thursdays and weekends. I’m available in the afternoon on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I cannot provide boarding because of the pets I have at home, but I can visit pets or stay overnight with them at their homes. I’ve stayed in ankeny overnight a few times but prefer to stay in Ames due to my classes being in the morning.

About: I’ve had a dog in my household my entire life. I love to spend time with dogs more than humans. I like to play with them and show affection. I also love to take my dog on walks and runs. My dad taught me a couple training skills as well. I also pet sitter for someone for a week and stayed the night the whole week, and have done some weekends as well. They always went so smoothly! I go to college at Iowa state university and am done around 12 every day except Monday. Monday I have a lab that goes until 6. I would be able to stop in whenever! I treat each home with respect and treat the dog like they are my own. I make them my priority and make sure they are happy!

About: With over 20 years of hands-on pet care experience, I bring a calm, confident presence that animals naturally trust. I’ve cared for pets of all ages and temperaments—including senior pets, rescues, and animals with medical or behavioral needs. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love getting to know each pet's unique personality. Whether it’s playtime, structured walks, or just quiet company, I treat every animal like family. Communication, safety, and comfort are always my priorities—and I’ll keep you updated every step of the way! I offer drop-in visits and dog walking that fit easily into your pet’s routine. I do not offer overnight care, but I’m happy to check in morning, midday, or evening to keep your pet comfortable and happy while you're out. I believe pets are family—and I treat them that way. You’ll always get clear updates, lots of photos, and peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. Let me know what they love, what makes them nervous, and how I can help make things easy for both of you! I care for pets exclusively in their own homes, where they feel most safe, secure, and comfortable. I believe that animals thrive in familiar environments, and my goal is to support their routine with as little disruption as possible. Whether I'm stopping by for a walk or a drop-in visit, I always make safety my top priority. I double-check doors, gates, and leashes before and after every visit, and I keep a close eye on your pet’s body language to make sure they’re feeling calm and secure. I’m respectful of your home and space, and I clean up after myself (and your pet!) so you return to a tidy, happy environment. I take time to learn your pet’s preferences and quirks—what comforts them, what makes them nervous, and how to help them feel loved while you're away. Trust and communication matter to me, and I’ll always keep you updated with honest check-ins and sweet snapshots of your pet while you’re gone.

About: I have been dogsitting, catsitting, and housesitting since I was in high school! I also worked for 3 years at a general practice veterinary clinic, working with animals boarding at the facility to provide them care. I have also worked 2 years in the ICU of the Small Animal Hospital at Iowa State, taking care of patients. I am currently working part-time, so I have lots of flexibility with my schedule when it comes to housesitting, walking your dogs, or any care you might need! I am happy to play with your pets, take them outside, and ensure they have company! I cannot care for pets in my own home (territorial cat, oops!) but more than happy to hang out in your home and ensure your pets are happy and taken care of.

About: I have helped train puppies both with roommates and within my family. Additionally we have a senior dog at home right now with severe anxiety who I help care for. I also have my own cat! I am a college student so I have a relatively flexible schedule to help care for pets. I do have a part time job but this is just another way for me to get outside! I help watch my dogs, bathe them, dog sit when family is out of town, etc. I watch my cat daily and I do whatever is needed.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and caring for them is truly a passion of mine. With my own dog, I handle everything from baths and feeding to daily walks, and I’ll bring that same love, reliability, and dedication to your pup! I currently work weekends at a restaurant in my hometown, while attending Iowa State University for Elementary Education. I have a class every morning of the week, then a long break usually until 2 or 3. I have a break in the middle of my day as well as my school nights! I’ve had dogs where they keep be out and about in the yard/home, but I’ve also had dogs who needed leashed/kenneled. I know when to praise a dog, and I love teaching dogs tricks. I’m no professional at it but I like teaching dogs the standard tricks and even silly little tricks!

About: I have had multiple dogs since I was 6 and taken care of all of them, neighbors' and families' animals actively for the last 4ish years! I would love to add a basic groom for an extra $10 added to any service you have scheduled. I have my own dog that I trained since he was a puppy, and he is now almost two. I also take care of a family's dog on a daily basis. I do not have a fenced-in yard, but I have a huge yard with long leashes. I also love to take our dog to the dog park. If you also have a pass, I would love that. My dog is mild to high energy and loves other dogs!

About: I have been dog sitting for my friends and family for years. I work from home 2 days a week and have a large fenced in backyard. I have a 3 bedroom house located a few block from a bike/walking trail. I would like a dog of my own but my schedule doesn’t allow for that so cuddling and spending time with your dog would be perfect. Your dog will have access to my furniture while I am home. I can maintain a set schedule and provide your dog with love and care while you are away. I currently work full time from my home. Your pet would be in a kennel very minimal and have lots of attention. Would just be in a kennel if I need to run errands. I have a large fenced in backyard that your pet will love to run free in. The fence was replaced summer of 2021 after the derecho. I work a hybrid schedule 3 days in an office 2 days at home. My boyfriend is home every Friday, he does not work Fridays. I have a large privacy fenced in yard for your dog to play in. I can kennel or crate your dog at your preference. I have a lock on the inside of my front door incase a dog jumps and opens the door.
About: I’ve taken care of animals for just over 10 years. I’ve done house sitting, drop ins, and boarding for neighbors and friends. I have helped to train puppies, and taken care of senior dogs. I’ve also been in charge of bathing dogs, cats, and even horses! Currently I am working part-time, I am free early in the morning as well as after 3:00pm. I can house sit or board on the weekends! I have a big yard to play in! I also have a rambunctious 2 year old puppy who loves making new friends. I can easily crate your dog if needed. They will get lots of play and rest time. (Along with snuggles!)

“So happy to recommend Olivia as a wonderful, loving pet care provider. She is responsible, attentive and easygoing with all animals. Our very finicky dogs love her!

Ashley R.
“We recently had the pleasure of having Ashley care for our cats and Shitzu dog. From our very first interaction, it was clear that Ashley possesses a genuine love for animals. She immediately connected with our timid cats, Honey and Fat Cat, and made them feel comfortable in Ashley's presence. Ashley provided consistent updates about our pet and contacted us promptly when she had a concern about a behavior she saw in our Shitzu, which was actually a normal behavior that we had forgotten to mention to her. Nonetheless, it was incredibly reassuring to see our animals were being so well taken care of. Ashley is reliable, communicative, and truly goes the extra mile. She treated our home with respect and left everything neat and tidy. We returned to happy, relaxed (yet VERY excited to see us) pets and a peaceful home, which is all any pet parent could ask for. We highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for compassionate and capable pet care. She's a true gem!”


Jaron B.

“Jaron has been walking our dog for several years. He is super reliable and gives plenty of notice if he will be unavailable. He is very sweet to her!”


Teagan W.
“Teagan is an amazing pet sitter and has watched my cats and dog several times. She always goes above and beyond in making sure they get the proper care whenever I've been gone. I also worked with her in a vet clinic situation and she was wonderful with all levels of pets that we saw no matter how big or small, their temperment, ect. She isn't afraid of the more "troublesome" pets and is always glad to find ways to make sure the animal's needs come first!”


Isabella S.
“I know Isabella personally, and I can say that she is one of the most caring people I have ever met. She has a cat that she loves and spoils, and I have two dogs that she treats like her own. Also, we work in an outdoor environment, and she cares for every injured animal we've come across, including ducks, sparrows, and frogs. The only animal that Isabella does not love are insects (but don't we all?) She would be a great person to hire to look after other people's pets because those animals would be in great and capable hands.”


Michelle C.

“Did an excellent job walking Dublin. He was a big fan of her! Always showed up in a timely manner and did an excellent job communicating. Thanks!”


Hailey C.

“Hailey was incredible with our dog Ralphie! She helped us out with short notice and she took her time making sure Ralphie had great walks :) Highly recommend Hailey!”


Ava J.
“I worked with Ava for over a year at Fareway. She was a very good employee, always on time, never complaining. She has watched my dog for me twice a year for the last 4 years and no complaints. Dog is always happy and healthy when I get home”
