Dog Sitting Iowa Colony

“This was my first time having to find a cat sitter and Taylor was great! I was away for about 4 days but she was communicative throughout and followed instructions. My cat warmed up to her pretty quick too. Will be using her services again.”

“Austin did an amazing job and took care of our dog, Echo, who is quite a lot to deal with. He sent updates via message and pictures in addition. You can tell he really loves dogs and is happy to be doing what he is doing. Thank you!”

About: I’m a natural animal lover with nearly 20 years of experience caring for animals. I got my first dog in 3rd grade after working hard to earn all A’s, and ever since then, animals have been a huge part of my life. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, and fish, giving me experience with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’ve owned three cats over the years, lived in homes with multiple cats, and currently have a cat of my own. I’ve also cared for dogs of different sizes and temperaments and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and making pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether your pet loves to play, cuddle, go on walks, or simply relax, I’ll give them the same love, attention, and care I would give my own pets. As a teacher, I have a structured daily routine during the school year and more flexibility during summers, which allows me to be consistent and reliable with pet care year-round. During the school year, I am available for morning, evening, and weekend care, and I make sure pets are fed, walked, played with, and checked on before and after work so they stay on their normal routine. In the summer and school breaks, I have full availability, which allows me to provide more frequent visits, longer stays, and extra playtime and attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping them comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box care, medication if needed, and any special routines. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment through play and interaction, while keeping their space clean and safe. My goal is to make sure each pet feels secure, cared for, and as stress-free as possible while their owner is away.

“Stephanie was the best! She over and beyond which was so appreciated and needed. I will definitely book her again and again.”

“Dameng was incredible! From start to finish. He was thorough in reading Georgie’s past history, kind upon meeting him, asked the right questions, and offered to help around the home. He was also great in sending pics and refilling our little kitten’s bowel. Definitely will recommend and use his warm friendly services again!”

About: I have 10 years of experience caring for pets, including my own domestic shorthair cat. Because I work from home and live in the Meridiana neighborhood, my drop-in schedule is very flexible. As a cat owner, I understand how much pets depend on a calm, clean, and comfortable environment, especially when their family is away. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and make sure they receive consistent care, fresh food and water, a clean litter box, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m gentle, patient, and reliable, and I’ll treat your pet like my own. I also know that some cats need time and space to warm up, so I always respect each pet’s personality and comfort level. I’m a local Meridiana resident offering cat-only drop-in care through Rover. I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m available for drop-in visits during most weekdays and weekends, and I can usually adjust my time to fit your pet’s normal routine. Because I live in the Meridiana neighborhood, I’m especially flexible for nearby visits. I’m happy to help with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and giving your pet some attention while you’re away. Please feel free to message me about your preferred visit time, and I’ll do my best to make it work.

“Fantastic sitter! They took great care of our two dogs and kept us updated throughout their stay. Our pups were happy, well cared for, and clearly received lots of attention. We felt completely at ease while away and would gladly book with them again. Highly recommend!”

“I’m so happy with the care provided for my three cats! They took the time to make sure each of them felt comfortable, and it was clear right away that the cats trusted them—they warmed up very quickly, which says a lot. They made sure the cats ate well and were looked after with attention and kindness. I felt completely at ease knowing my pets were in good hands. Highly recommend!”

About: “Get $20 off your first booking” https://www.rover.com/sit/timmeh11840 I’ve had dogs since I was a kid. Friends and family often reach out to me to take on pets that need fostered or just needs to be watched for a couple of days because they know I’ll treat them with love and compassion. Between my husband and I someone will be home. I do work part time and my husband also works but some days we work opposite so most days someone will definitely be at home. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for dogs in my home. I have a fenced-in backyard where they can safely play and get fresh air. Inside, I make sure they have cozy places to rest, fresh water available at all times, and a consistent feeding schedule based on their needs. I enjoy going on walks, giving them attention, and sticking to any routines or instructions their owners provide—whether that’s special diets or medications. Most of all, I treat them like part of the family, making sure they feel happy and secure while they’re with me.

About: I have a strong bond with our beloved four legged friends. I currently have two dogs and I’ve ran a pet day care business in the past.

I'm able to plan my schedule entirely around walks, feeding times, play, and check-ins, giving pet consistent attention and care throughout the day. I care for pets as if they were my own. In my home, a client's home, or on a walk, I follow each pet's routine closely, such as feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions.
