Dog Walking Iowa City

“Great communication! Great notes from the walk and super cute photos! I’ll definitely have her be my walker again if I ever need it in the future!!”

“Lucas is a great dog walker. He really bonded with my dog. He gave him that extra personal attention that my dog loved! Preston was always excited when he arrived to walk him.”

About: From my own puppy starting at age 10, to my roommate’s cats in college, to my neighbors’ pets in between, I have taken care of all kinds of animals for many years. I love animals and love to help care for them in any way I can! I am living in LaGrange with a part time job that is flexible. Therefore, my pet-care schedule is very flexible as well. I am able to accommodate almost anything during the weekdays if needed! I have a car and am willing to travel to care for your pets, whether that is in-home care, walking them, or playing with them.

“Sarah is the first person I’ve ever asked to come visit and walk my dog. I felt so comfortable with her and I can tell my yellow lab really enjoyed time with her. She was able to help me out at the last minute which was such a stress relief as I work in the hospital and unable to leave work. I will absolutely rebook with Sarah and I strongly recommend her services.”

“Ashley did a great job taking care of my dogs at the last minute! Will absolutely book her again:)”

About: I have had many family dogs in the past. I have also provided dog care for neighbors and friends throughout the years. I love dog walking and getting outside! I’m currently a college student working part time this summer. I am usually available all afternoons or all mornings and all evenings during the week and all day on the weekends. I am not able to accommodate other animals in my home because of my own cats needs. I will be more than happy to follow any specific instructions and guidelines for your own pet.

“Our Teddy loves his time with Isabelle! He comes back ready for a nap! Isabelle is patient and kind. We couldn’t ask for anything more for our new rescue, as he works on training.”

About: My best friend of 15 years and her family have two wonderful dogs, a doodle and a lab who I have taken care of so many times. I even watched the doodle when she was just a few months old for about a week during a snow storm while her family was on vacation. They’re a handful but so much fun. I have also cat-sit for up to 3-weeks on end. Giving medicine, checking for packages, and updating if anything seems off. I am a graduate student with very flexible hours. I am happy to spend time with your pet while I study or just for personal therapy. I will make time for animals no matter what. I go above and beyond noting things like if the house temperature is uncomfortable for said pet. I keep them under constant supervision and won’t leave them alone for more than a few hours unless discussed otherwise. I am very thorough and will take extra time to make sure each pet feels comfortable and safe with a new person around them. I know what it takes to be patient with pets.

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was a kid and have cared for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve helped with everything from puppy energy to senior pets and even insulin injections for diabetic animals. I have two dogs and a cat of my own, including one reactive pup, so I’m very comfortable reading body language, handling leash reactivity, and keeping walks calm and safe. I know every pet is different, and I’m patient and attentive to what your animal needs. As a fellow Iowa City local, I understand how important it is to find someone you truly trust. Whether your pet needs structured walks, medication, playtime, or just extra love while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re my own!

“Very punctual and easy to work with. My dog loves Sydney!”

About: I’ve had multiple dogs growing up, and have dog sat/dog walked for multiple people. I love walking dogs and have even had a little experience in potty training dogs. I’m currently available most hours of the day, including weekends as I work from home. I can be flexible with scheduling and cancelations. I’m good at communication accommodating whatever you may need. I live with two friendly cats and have a semi fenced in back yard where dogs can play and run around. I live in a quiet neighborhood perfect for taking walks in.

About: Hi! I’m Lauryn, a University of Iowa student who has been surrounded by dogs my entire life. Growing up with multiple dogs taught me how important patience, consistency, and love are when caring for pets. I understand that every dog has a different personality and routine. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or simply needs someone to stop by for potty breaks and company, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’ll always treat your pet like they’re my own. During every visit, I’ll send photo updates so you can feel confident knowing your dog is happy and safe while you’re away. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and flexible with scheduling. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I’m currently a student so I do have classes everyday but I am able to take care of pups in between them! I am able to care for your pet on week days. I will oblige to whatever fits your dogs needs! Whether that be going for walks, staying in your yard for a potty break, or just stopping in to give them some love!

About: Dedicated pet caregiver starting my dog walking and pet sitting journey. I grew up with 3 dogs and helped care for them for 10+ years. I will bring love, responsibility, and attentive care. I’m currently in graduate school, so I have some free time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available daily from 9:00–11:00 a.m. and 1:00–6:00 p.m (no weekend services). I’m looking to fill my days a little more while doing something I truly enjoy. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I will follow your care instructions closely, provide plenty of attention, and ensure they feel secure in their environment. You can trust that I’ll treat your pet like my own—patiently, gently, and with consistency. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or feeding, I’ll create a safe and loving experience every time.

About: I have years of experience with dogs, from puppies to seniors. I have trained several dogs and have experience working with dogs with health conditions. I also have experience administering dogs their medications. I am a teacher and currently work part-time in the summer. I have plenty of flexibility throughout the week, weekend, and during the school year. I have a gated off patio for dogs to play in. If they are in the yard, I will have them on their leash to ensure safety. Please provide a crate.

“My dog's regular walker had a last-minute emergency and had to cancel on me right at the time of the scheduled walk. I quickly requested a walk with Brennen and he was at my house to walk my dog within 15 minutes of my request. He was super friendly, responsive, and helpful. I am very grateful and will absolutely use Brennen for walks in the future. I would definitely recommend him to anyone else looking for a walker.”

“Lily has been great with our 9 year old labradoodle, Junior! She communicates well, is flexible and dependable. She has been a wonderful help with our dog.”

Shelly C.

“Ashley took such good care of Frankie! She walked him, fed him, and gave him extra lovin' while we were away for the day. We have already re-booked with her for future walks. Highly recommend!”

About: I have cared for cats and dogs my whole life. My family had labs and border collies at home when I was younger, and I currently have two cats. I am a teacher in the Iowa City school district. Currently, I am fully available for the summer. I will have evening and weekend availability during the school year. I am very sensitive to the needs that different pets can require.
