Tiffany was extremely helpful and easy to work with. We couldn’t ask for a better person to come and look after our animals/children. Highly recommend.

We had Shelby come over to care for our two cats while we traveled for 30 days. She is very kind, trustworthy, responsible and an animal lover. She communicated with me each time she stopped over at our house to let me know how our cats were. She did a great job!

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.

About: I've taken care of dogs of various ages for about 2 years at the client's home. I've done baths, taken them on walks, outside to go potty, of course feeding and giving all the treats! I work in Cedar Rapids so I'm only able to do mid day check ins in that area. If you aren't in the Cedar Rapids area I can do morning and evening/night check ins. I am able to stay overnight at your home as well if needed. I provide care at the client's home. I am able to come for a drop in visit and hang out with your pet for a short time or I'm able to come and stay for the night, weekend, or longer if needed.

About: I have had my own pet sitting business since I was 10 and have watched and cared all different breeds and even cats! I have a lot of experience with large, high-energy hunting breeds and ensure that each pup gets enough exercise each day. My favs are the dog park and the beach! I also trained my golden retriever, Harper in agility! In my free time I love to volunteer at the animal shelter, to give back! So I have experience with pets with separation anxiety and those that aren’t friendly with other pets! I ensure all pet parents are updated with pictures and videos! I currently go to school in Iowa City and wanted to watch some pets over break! I am free for the entire break, Mid December-Mid January! Either in my home or the clients I keep a close eye on the pet! I ensure adequate exercise and keeping the pet out of trouble. When in the clients home I make sure that I am locking doors and can take care of other household chores like garbage, shoveling, and dishes!

Sidney has pet sat two times for me and has gone above and beyond! She made an extra stop to check in on my cat while we were gone, which meant a lot. Highly recommend and will definitely be using her again in the future.

About: As a life long dog owner myself, I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is in good hands. I understand that pets are family, and leaving them with someone else takes a lot of trust. I’m currently a student at the University of Iowa and have always genuinely loved animals, especially dogs. I’ve cared for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I always try to make them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. I’m dependable, patient, and will always treat your pet like my own. My schedule is pretty flexible and I have a lot of availability throughout the week/weekends. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so pet care fits naturally into my routine and is something I look forward to doing I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, especially as a pet owner myself. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in any environment. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, behavior, and any specific needs your pet may have. I’m patient, dependable, and will treat your pet like my own while also keeping you updated so you can feel comfortable while you’re away.

When Sky arrived, she had such positive energy. Chesna immediately jumped up in her lap and laid down. Sky was so intuitive to Chesna's mood and body language, which is exactly what I was looking for. I will definitely be hiring her again.
