Pet Sitting in Iowa City

“Kay is wonderful! Super communicative, kind, and trustworthy. Best compliment for a pet sitter is when the pet is barely excited to see their owner when they return because they were so well loved, and my cat had obviously been given great care and attention from Kay and was totally normal and regulated when we got home. Thanks so much for everything, Kay!!! Toaster and we appreciate you!!”

“Irene was a great kitty sitter! Harald was well taken care of (despite telling us he was starving to death, but he tends to be dramatic) and there were zero issues. Being able to ask her last minute for a holiday sitting job was great, too. We totally recommend her. :)”

About: I have taken care of animals since I was a child all the way from administration of medicine to birthing animals on a farm to just feeding and walking and loving on animals. I have had experience with puppies all the way to seniors. I have also helped train animals on and off. I would love to have the chance to be your fur babies next best friend. I am free almost always as I work from home. I work from home and I am free almost always and always can make time for animals. I am free mornings all the way to evenings. I live on a farm in a fenced in yard. My sheep are separated from the other animals but do well around the sheep but I would keep clients animals away. One dog is an outside dog but comes in and one is a full time inside dog. She sleeps with me and loves to go on car rides and both are friendly animals. I have cats who live on the farm but they do there on thing and get along well with other animals. I can follow instructions well if you have a certain way you would like things done.

“Emily did such an amazing job with my baby! He has some separation anxiety and she bonded with him so well that everything went smoothly.”

About: i’ve taken care of dogs, and I have a puppy of my own, so no worries, looking after any of your furry friends, thank you! I’m currently full-time in the military, but on my off days i’m home all day so i’ll be able to spend time with your furry friends and take them on many walks! There is a couple dog parks near where I live, so if you want your friend to get out and active, I would be happy to take your dogs for some extra activity in the park!

About: Hi furry parents! I have helped countless family members and friends with pet-sitting. My family has had dogs, cats and birds ever since I was 3. I'm looking forward to spending more time with animals and will care for them like my own! We can work out whatever system is best for you and your pets comfort and needs-whether that's multiple walks a day or rest time for older pets. I have been known to be attentive to animals energy. Whether they are annoyed, playful, curious, not feeling well or ready for a W-A-L-K I anticipate to open myself up to their mood! I hope you'll consider me for reliable care for your pets :) In accordance with my availability I will be nearly free while I am furloughed. More time with your pets for walks, medicine, cuddles, whatever your pet seems to need. :) At the time I am only available for in-house pet sitting in your home. I'll be sure to pre-negotiate where in your home I am permitted and where you would like to keep your privacy. I'll be sure to be respectful and abide by your guidelines always.

“Adrienne is a wonderful dog sitter. She feeds, waters, plays with them and sends me pictures daily. I have used her twice, and highly recommend her.”

“She did a great job and she sent me such sweet pics. Usually, My cat wouldn't come out to people and wouldn't play well.”

Sue K.

“Christina was amazing! She was understanding and patient with my anxious pup, and capable of handling my dog-reactive one. I always worry that my roughhousing, loud dogs will be too intense for people, but Christina's experience proved to be a perfect fit! I would definitely recommend her as a sitter :)”

About: I have a home full of love to give along with a big back yard for play! Plenty of grass as well as dirt areas for those who like to dig. My senior dog, Charlie, a female terrier mix is friendly and inviting, just as we like to be! I am a stay at home mom so your fur babies will never be alone! Just like my own kids, I understand routine is very important and promise to care for your pets as you would in your own home. There is nothing I wouldn't do to make your fur baby feel safe and secure, as I would accept nothing but the same for my own! About this sitter: A caregiver by nature, I have always had a lot of love to give! Grew up on a farm and can honestly say I have no memories of life without some kind of fur baby in my life. Now that I am creating a home for my own children, I want them to grow in the same atmosphere. Our home will always be open to help and care for anyone and anything in need! I have a pet friendly home with a large backyard to play. My senior dog is friendly and welcoming along with 3 cats who love to do their own thing (all are fixed and well behaved). From snuggling on the couch to crate training, depending on your preference, my home has it all. Not to mention a family of animal lovers to make sure your fur baby gets all the love they could ever want!

About: I have experience training and caring for dogs. I currently have a 7mo old rescue and my 10yo boxer currently resides with my parents. I trained and adore them both. I work odd hours and days for my full time job. so i am able to provide care/ attention that is not usually available to many working 9-5 pet owners ! Im flexible upon caring for the requirements for each and every pet! I do my best to provide the comfort and safety each animal needs to feel secure.

“Carrington is a wonderful pet sitter! Our pets, even our shy ones, warmed up to her very quickly! She kept them safe, well fed and happy! We will definitely use her again when we need a sitter for our mini zoo!”

“Elise did a fantastic job watching our elderly, very particular dog. He normally is very scared of strangers, and will sometimes not go outside for walks with sitters. Elise did a great job of gaining his trust and getting him out! She was very accommodating, and on time.”
