Sidney was awesome! She was very flexible with the pre-visit. She asked great questions and took good notes. She was PERFECT for our anxious Spanish Water Dog - Molly. She did ALL the things Molly loves - played with squeaky toys, long walks, car rides, pup cups, snuggling and so much more. I would definitely recommend her, hands down! She took great care of our home, checked in with us daily with pictures and kept us in the loop. We have already booked her for the next visit!

Jackie was great and we loved having her watch our fur babies! She communicated well and sent daily photos, and we appreciated her care and attention especially during the heatwave! She is very caring and tidy; she did a great job housesitting. We’d love to have her pet-sit in the future.

About: I have owned and currently own both dogs and cats. I have experience working with animals. I worked in Petland previously and now currently work in a vet clinic as a full time veterinary assistants I also plan to apply to vet school. I have a lot of experience with dogs and cats of all different sizes, ages and temperaments. I also am canine CPR trained, and I’m knowledgeable about potential medical issues they could have. I work full time, but I would be available after 5:30pm on weekdays and after noon on Saturday and any time on Sunday. If need be I could also take the pet with me to the clinic and board them there for the day if they can’t be left home alone. I have a very friendly dog who loves making new friends, and two cats who are friendly but prefer to keep to themselves. I can crate my dog if needed and the cats can be confined if that is needed as well. I can crate pets, administer medications and keep pets happy, healthy, and clean.

Brooke was amazing! The house was spotless when I got home, and Mija was happy and clearly well taken care of. She was very communicative and sent several updates throughout the booking, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I’ll absolutely be booking with her again!

Sydney helped us out with a VERY last minute booking and still made us feel at ease that Ember (our pup) was in good hands. She went out of her way to do a meet and greet with us the day we connected with her and was very communicative throughout the stay whenever we reached out! We will definitely use her again!

Bethany was a great dog sitter. She took care of our two pups for a weekend and kept them fed, walked and happy. I really appreciated that she paid attention to the heat and made an effort to take them on early walks. I’ll would hire her again no question!

About: Hi! My name is Cassidy LaRocco, and I’m a huge dog lover who would love the chance to care for your pup. I’ve always had a natural connection with dogs and know how important it is to keep them happy, safe, and active. Whether it’s long walks, playtime at the park, or making sure they get plenty of love while you’re away, I’ll treat your pet like my own. I’m responsible, dependable, and experienced. I had a Bullmastiff for eight years and now have a nine month old Bernedoodle at home. From quick potty breaks to overnight stays, I’ve got you covered! I’m a full time student with a flexible schedule! Most of my classes are in the mornings, but I’m also available before class, during the day, and in the evenings. I have my own car, so I can easily come by whenever you need me to care for your pets. When I care for pets, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I stick to their normal routine for feeding, walks, and playtime, and give them lots of attention and cuddles. I keep everything clean and comfortable, and I love sending photo updates so you know your pet is doing great while you’re away!

About: I have had dogs since for my entire life, so I have cared for all ages of dogs from puppies to seniors. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, spending time cuddling with senior dogs, and playing with puppies! I am currently a full time student at the University of Iowa in Iowa City. I have a few hours during the weekdays for potty breaks and feeding, and I am available on the weekends. I am willing to pet sit overnight in your home on weeknights, as well as weekends. My apartment is not pet-friendly, so I am not allowed to bring your pets to me, but I will drive to your home to care for your pets there. I will ensure to keep your pets safe, active, and content while you are away.

About: I grew up with a fur baby, pet sitting and walking for my neighbors, and helped train my parents two new mini bernedoodles! 🐾 Pets have always had a special place in my heart and I love to show them love! I am a nurse that works three days a week, mostly consisting of nights and weekends! This allows me to have lots of availability during weekdays as well as some weekends! :) When caring for your pets, my priority is their safety, comfort, and happiness! I will follow your instructions carefully; such as feeding/walk schedules, medication needs, and favorite toys or activities! Please share anything special you would like me to know your pet and their typical routine 🤍🦮🐩

About: I have lived on a farm my whole life, so I have had a lot of experience caring for animals! My family and I have given home to many dogs and cared for them as puppies all the way to their senior years. I am prepared to care for dogs of any age, and cater to any of their specific needs. I am currently a student at the university of Iowa and I have classes Monday through Friday and I also have a part time job. I am free Tuesday and Thursday mornings till noon, 11-1:30 on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and I am free most weekends except on game days. So I am excited to used the breaks during my day to care for pets! I do not offer services in my home, but I will offer services at the clients home. I will always be respectful of the clients space and be sure to clean up after both the pet and myself. I have a car that I will drive to clients home, so I hope to have a place to park while I care for the pets.
