“amazing service! she came to my house very late 2am to walk my dog after some miscommunication about dates when she certainly didn’t have to! above and beyond. much appreciated 👏🏽”
About: I've been around and cared for dogs on and off since I was a young child. Currently, I volunteer regularly with the Iowa City Animal Care and Adoption center and have gone through their training classes on dog behavior and providing appropriate stimulation and play. I've cleaned kennels and walked dogs as small as a Yorkie and as big as a Great Dane with a variety of quirks and behaviors. I love throwing a ball or just sitting and scratching some soft ears; whatever your pupper needs. I work a full-time, remote job that allows me flexibly to work from anywhere and the passion to shower your pet with the love they need and deserve. I work full-time fully remote during the day. I am able to do in-home, overnight, or drop in care with lots of flexibility. If you're close enough, I can drop in over breaks or lunch if necessary. I'll follow all house rules regarding your pet: on or off furniture, outdoor or indoor time, treats, feeding, and walkies. I can drop in multiple times a day, or work from your home to provide all day care/attention
“Alex is awesome and really loves walking my dogs! Very nice and walks the extra mile :)”
“Tiffany was great. Suzie was able to smell all the things and eat some snow on her walks, which is her favorite part. Suzie loved her, she usually barks at any newcomer, but it was like they were old friends!”
“Peyton always goes above and beyond for my big baby. She is reliable, responsive, and flexible - your favorite dogs favorite dog walker !!”
“Auden has given walks to our dog, Mochi, over the last six months. She was a lifesaver after I had a baby in January and it was harder for me to have the time to walk Mochi, especially in the cold weather. Mochi especially loved going on walks in Hickory Hill Park with her. Thank you, Auden!”
About: I have had a strong love and passion for animals ever since I was young, and have taken care of many different animals throughout my life. I have completed 1 year of Veterinary Technician School, and had experience working in a Veterinary setting. I am very proficient in the care of dogs and cats, old and young! I am excited to start working with you and your pet(s)! If you have any questions feel free to reach out! I am looking to provide my services part time, I have the most availability during the week and some weekends! I do not do overnight stays but can check in frequently, depending on your pets needs. As a sitter for Rover, my main focus is your pets safety, comfort, and happiness. I create a calm, secure environment where your pet will feel loved and at home. You can trust that I will treat your pet just as my own, keeping their well-being my top priority!
About: I’ve had both dogs and cats since before I can remember, and I can never say no to a stray animal in need. All of my pets have been rescues, and I love that I’ve been able to spoil each of them with a loving home and plenty of toys. I can’t resist petting any animal I cross, and I have a special place in my heart for pets with quirks or attitudes. Needless to say, I have always been the go-to for my friends, neighbors, and family to watch and care for their pets as they know I would love them just like my own! I am a medical student that has a flexible schedule to walk, check-on, and care for neighborhood pets. I can typically work around my school work to help out when needed! I have a cat, so I am comfortable inviting a cat into my home and providing necessary services with my own supplies. If your pet is more comfortable in their own space, I am more than willing to do drop in visits! Owner suggestions and directions for specific pet needs are always welcome and encouraged.
About: Hi, I’m Sarah! I love pets of all shapes and sizes. With having a dog and a cat myself, I understand the need for a trusted sitter who will take care of your friends. I would love to help out with catsitting and dog walking! I’m available most of the time to drop in and check on your pets! I have work Monday-Thursday from 9am-4pm, but can drop in before or after work, plus on weekends! I have a black lab and a short haired cat at home, and looking to get another kitten soon! I love to go on fun walks with my dog at the park near my house. My cat adores a warm blanket and watching the birds out the living room window. When I’m walking or watching your pets, I’ll make sure to give them the same amount of care as if they were my own!

I work as a nurse with rotating day/night shifts and opposite weekends. Get my schedule a month at a time, can be flexible with advanced notice. Super tidy and respectful. Understand that privacy and safety are important when taking care of a pet in somebody’s home. Have also found pets do better in their own environment!

About: I have always had a pet to take care of my whole life. I have a nursing background, so am comfortable with giving any medications as needed. I can bathe, feed and walk your pet as desired. I currently work part time but would be available to watch your pet on the weekends or make stops in to let them out or walk them throughout the day on days that I do not work. I have 2 dogs of my own and they are both very social and well trained dogs. I have a fenced in yard with two dogs who are well trained and socialized. I have the best of both worlds with an older (14 year old) dog who prefers to relax next to his owners and another dog (8 years old) who has energy for days! You can bet that I will care for your pet as if it were my own.
About: I have taken care of dogs off all ages and sizes. I have worked at 3 different boarding facilities and an animal shelter. Im currently a vet assistant and have been doing that for 8 years now.

I hope to have a more open schedule later this summer. I am currently not sitting any dogs at my own home. But I am more than happy to take care of them in your own home. Along with any walks or other care that may need done.
About: I am in the health care field and have sometimes wondered why I did not decide to be a veterinarian! I grew up taking care of dogs my whole life. My boyfriend and I adopted a kitten in January of 2023 and adopted a dog in April of 2023. I've been a pet sitter for friends and family for the past several years. I also have experience and steadfast patience with highly energetic/anxious dogs. Animals are one of the greatest joys in life! I would be honored to take amazing care of your fur-mily member(s). I currently work full time, but work 4 10 hour days, so I am available 1 day during the week (Wednesday’s) and weekends. I can also do visits before or after my job any day of the week. I can work around your schedule and needs. I currently have a dog and cat at my home that are spoiled with love, affection, toys and treats. I'd love to give your pet the same treatment. I can feed, water, clean litterboxes, take dogs out to go potty, give plenty of playtime, take them for walks, and fulfill any other requests you may have.

“Amelia is awesome!”
About: I have had dogs and cats in my life for as long as I can remember. In addition to my own fur family, I've watched several other's fur babies for the past 10 years. I work from home, so I'm home the majority of the time. That means your animals always get the attention they need, plus always another animal for companionship. I don't have a fenced yard, but I ALWAYS tether or take them out on a leash when at my home. I do like to give treats like kongs for added stimulation as well. I do have crates or have room for crates for sleeping or if they need alone time.

With pictures and videos along the way to keep me in the loop. I can’t recommend Chloe enough!”
