Dog Walkers in Independence, IA

About: My family has always had a dog around since I was a little girl! So I’m comfortable giving all dogs, whether the breed, the best care! I’m a cat and dog lover who would love to help you with all your cat and dog needs whether it’s daycare, walking or boarding! I’m mostly free in evenings and then Especially on weekends! I have 2 dogs who love to play with other dogs so your fur baby will have company! Also have almost 2 mo old and a 2 year old who loves all dogs so no dog will go without any pets or lovings!

About: Hi! My name is Danielle and I can't wait to meet your four-legged fur-baby. :) I’ve had pets my entire life and for the past three years, I’ve started caring for others in addition to my own. I have experience caring for dogs with special needs, and of all different sizes and breeds. Plenty of feline experience too! If you have an athletic or active dog, I am the host for you!!! Trips to parks (on and off leash), and visiting nature trails are my jam. If your dog is less active, I can bring my activity level to where your dog is most happy and comfortable. I work full-time from home, but I have a flexible schedule to care for the needs of your feline or canine. For any scheduling concerns, reach out and let’s start a conversation. I live in a farmhouse with a few acres of land, so I offer lots of running around and play time! I always keep the water bowl full and am always willing to offer your pet a bath (if you'd like.) My main priority is a happy and healthy pet for the duration of care while maintaining your peace of mind with plenty of updates and pictures. If I sound like a good fit for your fur-baby, I'd love the to meet y'all and let's play fetch! Please note, I only board one family's pet(s) at a time unless discussed otherwise.

“All is well!!”

“Tee-Tee was EXTREMELY accommodating after the first walker I booked became unresponsive HOURS before I had to leave for a work trip out of state. Tee-Tee was on time, very communicative and through the pictures & videos she sent, I could tell my dogs already love her! I definitely will be using her again!”

About: Since a baby, I've grown up with cats, dogs, fish, and reptiles. Not all at once, but I have always been a lover of animals of all types. I have been around animals with sensitive diets, tummy troubles, skin sensitivity, anxiety, and paw pain and know how to spot the warning signs for most common complications. Grooming, bathing, feeding, and exercise are all tasks I am deeply familiar with. If your pet has unique care instructions, trust that I will do my best research prior and will carefully ensure your baby receives the most comfortable stay. I am a college student currently. I currently live in a studio apartment near UNI and will be able to flexibly care for any animals of all types; sans very large dogs for space reasons. My time mostly consists of studying and trying to find the time to exercise enough, so you don't have to worry about a busy body! For my in home service, I am very meticulous about "leaving it as I found it or better than it was." Having military discipline, I am punctual about arriving, check-ins, and feeding/potty times. You can guarantee that any and all instructions relating to your baby or babies is closely followed and communication prompt when necessary. As for boarding or hourly stays, my home is their home. They are welcome to sleep or lounge where they like and accompany me on a walk around town or during a Law and Order binge. Belly rubs and butt scratches are always available round the clock!

About: I have loved animals all my life. I enjoy to be around them and have experience feeding, playing, walking, cleaning up after, and loving and cuddling. I created a dog walking business when I was in the sixth grade. It slowly grew as others saw the love, care, and communication I put into caring for their pets. I want to return to my business in a new way and continue my true passion, love for all animals. I would love to pet sit for your animals whenever needed. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or special requests. I am always open to a discussion. Currently, I work full-time at Dartmouth College. I work 1130-10-pm Wednesday-Saturday and have Sunday-Tuesday off. Please reach out for confirmation on my schedule. Let me know what your needs are and we can discuss if its a good fit. Can't wait to talk to you soon! Will listen and follow all of your instructions to properly care for your animals. Open to discussing terms of pet sitting. I can come over to your house or live in to care for your pets.
