Cat Sitting Iowa Colony

“Sheri was great with our cats. Even our cat who is a bit skittish and doesn’t really come out warmed up to her. She sent us plenty of pictures so we could see our cats were doing well. We will gladly book her again for any of our pet sitting needs.”

Jeff A.

“Jia did a great job taking care of our babies. She was very patient with us and them.”

Daisy G.

“Bria is excellent with shy and skittish dogs. My girls did not run and hide when she came by, which is highly unusual. I had no qualms about leaving my babies with Bria and if she is available next time, I’ll hire her again!”

Liane J.

“Where do I begin. Noelle was wonderful, anything we expected and more. She’s always on time, will let us know if she’s running late. She provides updates on her visit with pictures and notes, this gives us the peace of mind if our cats are doing great. I highly recommend Noelle and we are committed to have her back when we travel in the future.”

“Jordan did great with Willow and Prezly.”

“Sophia came by for several drop in visits over the weekend while I was out of town! My two fur babies were well taken care of and seemed to really enjoy Sophia! She was very punctual and sent a lot of photos and updates! I highly recommend Sophia to care for your pups and I will definitely book with her again!”

Kelsie F.

“Joly was very easy to work with. She sent lots of photos with our pet and the house was well taken care of. I can’t wait to contact her again next time we are out of town!”

“Reagan did an amazing job taking care of our cat. Mama has a very hard time warming up to people but with Reagan, she was letting her pet her after only two days. Thank you Reagan for keeping our baby comfortable and happy!”

About: I grew up with dogs and now have two cats of my own, so caring for pets has always been a big part of my life. I know how much they mean to you, and I treat every pet like they’re part of the family. I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities: playful, shy, or somewhere in between! I try to keep their routine as normal as possible. I have experience with feeding, walks, litter box care, and playtime, and I pay attention to the little things so your pet feels safe and cared for. I’m patient, dependable, and genuinely love spending time with animals. You can count on me to give your pet lots of care and attention! I’m currently on maternity leave and will soon be a stay-at-home mom while finishing my master’s in counseling, so I have a flexible schedule. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I’m able to give pets consistent attention, care, and check-ins throughout the day. I follow your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and safe. I handle feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and any specific instructions. I give pets attention based on their personality and keep an eye out for any changes in behavior.

About: I take my schedule seriously and I also am able to give pets space when they need while also checking if they need attention. I can provide them the service they need. I recently graduated from college and I am in the beginning of my professional career so I have plenty of time to give attention to your pet. I am able to provide pets their food and water and play with them if they need. If it is a cat, I can clear their sand box.

“Super nice and my dogs loved her! Great communication!”

About: About this sitter: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, and honestly, I’ve always felt that animals have a special place in my heart—sometimes I even say I love them more than humans! 😂 I’ve cared for pets my entire life, but I’ve also had the privilege of caring for animals professionally for over 15 years. Over that time, I’ve learned that every pet has their own personality, needs, routines, and little quirks, and I truly enjoy getting to know each one as an individual. For me, caring for animals has never felt like a chore or simply a job—it’s a passion. I genuinely love spending time with them, giving them attention, playing with them, making sure they’re comfortable, and knowing they feel safe and loved while they’re in my care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important it is to trust someone with your baby. After more than 15 years of professional experience, I bring patience, responsibility, compassion, and plenty of hands-on experience to every pet I care for. My goal is always to give pets a happy, comfortable experience while giving their parents peace of mind knowing their babies are being loved and cared for. I work remotely, and my job offers a very flexible schedule, which allows me to be home and available throughout the day and evening. This flexibility gives me plenty of opportunities to provide consistent care, attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship for the babes. I’m able to work my schedule around their needs and make sure they receive the love and care they need throughout the day, rather than being left alone for long periods of time. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for pets in my home. I have a fully fenced-in backyard where they can safely play, explore, and get some exercise, along with plenty of toys and space to relax. I’m also able to keep pets separated when needed, whether for feeding, rest, introductions, or simply to make sure each pet is comfortable. I’m happy to follow each pet’s individual routine and care instructions, and I make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship while they’re in my care.

About: Hi, I’m Lina a lifelong dog lover🐾 with 16+ years of hands-on experience in behavior, boarding, and boutique-style care. I’ve created a calm, structured home environment where your dog is treated like family. My space includes a fenced backyard on the water, room to roam, and peaceful nooks for rest and reset. Whether your pup is social or more independent, I tailor each stay to their unique needs, energy, and personality. I’m deeply passionate about what I do. I’ve studied dog behavior and body language for over a decade and understand how to read cues, meet individual needs, and create a safe, low-stress environment. From introverted pups who prefer their space to high-energy dogs who thrive on play,every stay is adjusted with intention. My husband and I maintain an exceptionally clean, safe home. He’s fully hands-on and helps monitor the dogs whenever he’s available, offering added support and love throughout your pup’s visit. We sanitize thoroughly between every stay, use only filtered water, and keep the temperature comfortable year-round. Virtual meet & greets are available upon request (serious inquiries only). I’m happy to show you where your pup will eat, play, sleep and answer any questions to ensure full peace of mind. Please Note: I do not accept dogs with any history of aggression, regardless of size. This is a peaceful, respectful, home-based environment for dogs who thrive in structure, love, and calm. If you’re looking for a sitter who blends professional structure with real heart, I’d love to care for your furry best friend. 🚨 Must-Read: Drop-Off & Pick-Up Timing Policy 🟡 Timeliness is essential to maintaining a peaceful, well-structured environment for every dog in my care. I kindly ask that all drop-offs and pick-ups are made within your scheduled time window. ⏰ Grace Period: A 15–20 minute grace period is allowed. After that, a late fee will be applied. I design each day with intention,and waiting for late pickups takes time away from other dogs’ walks, play, and meals. ✅ If you anticipate being late, please notify me at least 2–3 hours in advance so I can adjust the schedule accordingly. I’m happy to update your booking and send a revised time if needed. 🔁 Please note: repeated late pickups without communication may result in a pause on future bookings. Thank you for respecting the rhythm of the home and helping me maintain a calm, structured flow for all pups. I look forward to caring for your dog with the same presence and love I give every guest. 🐾 Pet Care FAQ Bulletin ❓Do you accept both crated and uncrated dogs? Yes! All dogs are welcome, whether they’re crated or uncrated. Crated dogs will enjoy plenty of love, enrichment, playtime, and one-on-one attention,just like uncrated dogs. The crate simply offers a comfortable, familiar place to rest. It never means your pup will be confined all day. ⸻ ❓Why do some pet parents choose to crate their Dogs? Many dogs actually prefer being crated,it gives them a sense of security, like their own personal den. Some pet parents include crate time as part of their dog’s daily routine, and I’m happy to follow that for consistency and comfort. ⸻ ❓What if my dog doesn’t use a crate? That’s totally fine! I welcome uncrated dogs too, as long as they’re fully potty trained and comfortable being in a home environment. I always aim to mirror your pup’s routine so they feel safe, happy, and relaxed. ❓What’s your overall approach to care? 🟡 My care philosophy is rooted in calm, intentional presence. I create a safe, happy, and loving space where your pup can truly feel at home. Whether your dog prefers quiet cuddles or follows me like a little shadow, I gently adjust my energy and environment to meet their unique needs. My goal? To give your dog peace and comfort while giving you peace of mind while you’re away. This isn’t just dog sitting, it’s premium care tailored to your dog’s emotional well-being. ❓Do you take in more than one dog at a time? 🟡 I do, but with thoughtful intention. Sometimes I care for just one dog, and other times I host a small group, depending on the season and my calendar. What matters most is compatibility. I carefully screen each pup to ensure harmony, comfort, and safety for everyone. I don’t accept dogs with any history of aggression regardless of size, so the environment stays peaceful, happy, and secure. This curated approach is what allows me to offer boutique-style, stress-free care for every dog that stays with me. 🟡 I focus on creating a calm, present, hands-on environment, so I don’t offer hourly or ongoing updates throughout the day. If anything urgent arises, I’ll reach out immediately, no delay. That said, I do send thoughtful check-ins and a generous amount of photos so you always feel connected. ❓ What if I want more detailed updates? 🟡 ask me about the Daily Digest For deeper peace of mind, I offer add-on called the (Daily Digest Report Card) a premium upgrade that includes: • Meals & potty notes • Mood & behavior insights • Daily highlight videos & extra photos • Shared through your dog’s private photo gallery Perfect for pet parents who want to feel closer, even while away.
