“Erika did a great job checking in on our pups and helping out with dinner time! She left such cute photos, and notes that reassured us that our dogs were well looked after! Thank you so much Erika 😊”

“Very friendly, reliable, and communicative. She kept me updated on my babies and even made little toys for them made with recycled materials! I will definitely use her services the next time I need someone to care for my pets!”

About: Hi, I’m Bailey! My love for pets has become a big part of my personality, as I grew up in a household that adores the company of furry friends. Currently, we have two loving Bernedoodles, three fuzzy cats, 4 calming fish, and a goofy ferret. Our home just doesn’t feel the same when there’s not a different creature in every room! Over the years, I’ve become the go-to sitter for friends, family, and neighbors as well. Through my personal life and pet sitting, I have experience with dogs of all sizes, and cats of all ages. I’ve cared for all sorts of animals, from guinea pigs, rats, and hamsters, to fish, turtles, and frogs. In addition, I’m well versed in young pet training, senior pet care, and medication of many types. That being said, my eagerness to provide does not stop at my experience, and I am always open to opportunities to learn about and spend time with new animals. I graduated high school in 2026, and I am looking for a fun way to gain experience and earn money during my gap year. I love nature, adventures, and creative endeavors of all sorts. I work a part time job at a family-owned restaurant in the Cedar Valley area, and this usually requires around 5 hours of my time, 2-3 days a week (Typically Tuesday/Wednesday, and Friday/Saturday). I want to make sure your pets get the care they deserve, and I will redirect you if this responsibility of mine conflicts with your schedule in a way that compromises the care you expect for your animal(s). I am open for daily check-ins, but my focus is on overnight stays. I would love to help everyone in your household stay comfortable during the occasion that you are separated from your furbabies. My main emphasis with pet sitting is well-rounded communication, especially in regards to you and your animal’s preferences. This includes any expectations you have of me, whether that be for meal times, activity, medication, or potty schedules. I am flexible and eager to help, but most of all, I want to ensure your pets stay healthy and happy while you’re away. In my experience, transparent communication is the key to achieving a smooth and stress-free sit. Nonetheless, I prioritize communication on my end as well, and will send updates and pictures as often as you would like me to. I enter every home with respect for the space and it’s inhabitants. I understand that to your furry companions, I am a stranger, and I allow pets to approach and introduce themselves to me at whatever rate they feel comfortable. I am adaptive to personal preferences, and will accommodate your pet’s needs to the best of my ability. Whether this entails snuggles and pets, enrichment and play, or walks of varying length, I am open to it all! I want to make sure your furry family member feels the pressure of routine change at the very least intensity possible. Caring for pets is a huge passion of mine, and I would be honored to take yours under my wing. Contact me for further information! At my current part-time food service job, I am occupied for 4-5 hours, 2-3 days a week. This typically falls on a Tuesday or Wednesday, and Friday or Saturday. These five hour shifts either start at 10:00 am or 3/4:00 pm, leaving plenty of time in my day to care for your pets. I also attend martial arts practice 45 minutes every Thursday evening. The only other time-consuming parts of my daily routine are commitments to family and friends, and volunteer work as a member of the nonprofit Independent Order of Odd Fellows. Of course, when pet sitting, your animals are my top priority. When I have your furry companion under my care, my more ‘’optional” duties come last. I am very flexible when it comes to adapting to your household’s routine, and will go above and beyond to accommodate. Whether this calls for 5:00 am feedings, or extra long walks, you can count me in! I enter every situation with patience, making sure your animals are first met with calmness. I believe that animals can be quite intuitive, and often feed off energy from those around them. Allowing them to approach me first, and modifying my behavior in response to different body language signs is how I secure trusting relationships with animals. In terms of daily expectations, I can manage daytime activities like walks, play, or trick-training, feeding requirements like free-graze, routine meals, or food-aligned medication, and nighttime expectations like kenneling, or staying in a certain area during bedtime. Just let me know what you and your animal need, and I’ll be happy to make it happen! Outside of pet care, I can help make sure your home stays in order while you’re away. I love cleaning, and if you need the trash taken out, the mail picked up, or the plants watered, shoot me a message! I am not only house sitting for your pet’s sake, but for yours as well, and I want to help ease the anxiety that comes with being away from home.

About: I've lived with cats and worked with dogs my whole life. From bathing my grandma's dog to walking pit bulls at the shelter, animals have always been a part of my life. Over the summer I'm looking for work wherever I can take it but mostly open. In the school year I am usually never gone more than 3 hours. I live in a pet friendly basement apartment with air conditioning. There is space for a kennel and other supplies if needed. It's not gigantic is very clean and the complex has a bark park.

“Ashleigh was awesome with our dogs! She followed all the instructions, sent cute photo updates, and I could tell our pups really loved her. We’ll definitely book with her again!”

Jillian D.

“Lindsay did great with our doggy while we were away on vacation, keeping us updated on how she was doing and acting and taking photos of her during the in home visits. The photos appeared that she was well taken care of and I appreciated Lindsay’s communication. It’s clear that she cares a lot for animals. Would recommend and use her again!”

Melanie L.

“Tee-Tee overall is an exceptional at her job. She took good care of our dogs while we were away. We trust her coming into our home for the first time and she did not disappoint. Tee-Tee was not on the scheduled time that we both agreed upon. However she did communicate with me each time she was late to perform her duties. Overall I will definitely use her again because we are pleased with her service. :-)”

Clarissa H.

“Maddy stopped in twice to check on our dog. Both times she arrived promptly, provided communication and pictures. Our dog loved having her visit and take time to cuddle and play. We will definitely book Maddy again and would recommend her.”

About: I have always loved pets. Throughout my entire life, I have had both cats and dogs, and recently my family adopted a gecko from my stepsister. Pets have always been the center of my day, and I always look forward to seeing my little fur-babies, and taking care of them. With this I have been referred to many family friends to extend the love and care I have for my babies onto their babies. I will always take care of your fur-babies as I would my own. I also am very good at giving pets medicine, as I have done it for a few years now. I am a full time college student at UNI, and I love taking care of animals. Being away at college has made me miss my own animals, so I fill that gap by getting to take care and love other animals, and give other families peace of mind while away. I am super open to any environments, whether it be a fenced in yard, or a yard where I will need to leash the pups/kitties up to take them out. I will listen and obey any instructions the client may give, whether it be for respecting the pets, or respecting the house.

“Emily did a great job with our dogs!! Thank you!”

Dan and Mandie S.

“Rachel was GREAT! She was able to help out with our dog at the last minute when we decided to go out of town and couldn't take our dog along! Dozer has a lot of anxiety and doesn't do well with boarding, so having someone who could come into our home and care for him was a perfect solution!!”

Jennifer C.

“Sage was a wonderful sitter! She was attentive to our pets and took care of playing, feeding and their litter boxes and other accidents. She went above and beyond by bringing in our mail, moving objects out of kitty reach and bonding with our animals by holding them and playing with them. She kept us updated daily with detailed notes and pictures. We would definitely have her watch our kitties again and would highly recommend to others! Thank you so much!”

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals for my entire life. As a kid, my family bred and raised Shih Tzus. I have experience with all ages! I am currently working part time/as needed while attending college part time. I have a flexible schedule and commute from Charles City to Waterloo most every day. I have a private, fenced in backyard. My wiener dog, Tootsie, enjoys roaming our 3-bedroom house, sunbathing on the couches, and snuggling in bed.

About: I have been caring for friend’s and family’s pets for years as well as being a dog owner. I enjoy walks and fun adventures or playing and spending downtime in your home. Whatever your pup prefers! I love and treat every dog just like my own. I am happy and energetic and open for anything. I can’t wait to meet your baby!! I am working part time at a flexible job. My availability will vary, I am open to reoccurring or occasional care. I am open to occasional nights and weekends as well as day time hours. I am open to care in my home. I have two cats who are dog friendly and a small poodle mix who LOVES pup companionship. I have two tweens that adore and would love to love on a pup in our home. I have a fenced in yard and a large kennel if needed. I would also love to come to your house if that is where your pup feels most comfortable. I could hang out for a while or just do occasional drop ins depending on your needs.
