About: Hi! My name is Danielle and I can't wait to meet your four-legged fur-baby. :) I’ve had pets my entire life and for the past three years, I’ve started caring for others in addition to my own. I have experience caring for dogs with special needs, and of all different sizes and breeds. Plenty of feline experience too! If you have an athletic or active dog, I am the host for you!!! Trips to parks (on and off leash), and visiting nature trails are my jam. If your dog is less active, I can bring my activity level to where your dog is most happy and comfortable. I work full-time from home, but I have a flexible schedule to care for the needs of your feline or canine. For any scheduling concerns, reach out and let’s start a conversation. I live in a farmhouse with a few acres of land, so I offer lots of running around and play time! I always keep the water bowl full and am always willing to offer your pet a bath (if you'd like.) My main priority is a happy and healthy pet for the duration of care while maintaining your peace of mind with plenty of updates and pictures. If I sound like a good fit for your fur-baby, I'd love the to meet y'all and let's play fetch! Please note, I only board one family's pet(s) at a time unless discussed otherwise.

“He is so awesome. Took my dog for walk He sent me of picture every day Awesome. I will use him again.”

About: I absolutely LOVE animals! I own a red lab named Koe. Him and I are very active and he loves going on walks just as much as me. I promise you your loved fur baby(ies) are in the best hands. I will treat them as if they are my own! I always do a meet and greet prior. I am used to small to large dogs, any breed, any age! Would love to care for your animal! I usually work days Tuesday thru Friday but that can do check ins after work. I’m very accommodating, please feel free to ask! I can come before and after work. I have a fence and 2 very playful dogs who will love your puppy. We are very active and go on lots of walks daily.

“Baylee is AMAZING! She was able to meet with me right away, and fit Winston in next day. She worked around my schedule and made me feel super comfortable. Listened to all my worries and made me feel so much better having a sitter. Winston absolutely loved her :) I wil definitely be re booking with her for any of my needs.”

About: I have worked with and loved many animals throughout my life; gaining experience by working with rescues, shelters and non-profit organizations benefiting dogs, cats and horses in Iowa and Virginia. I have also worked in the pet care industry my whole life. I was a Pet Groomer for 10 years, have worked closely with trainers, supervised daycare & boarding, and have spent the last 3 years in Veterinary Medicine as a Veterinary Assistant. I currently share my home with 3 dogs and a cat. I often care for my parents' dogs; one of which is Diabetic & has recently gone blind. Helping her learn to enjoy walks again has been a great experience! I have experience in most aspects of pet care; dog sitting, boarding, basic First Aid, administering oral & injectable medications, grooming and training, and know that each pet needs a unique, gentle approach. First and foremost I believe in making your pet comfortable by sticking to their (and your) schedule as much as possible. By keeping feeding, walking & potty times the same, I can provide and calm and happy presence for your pet through a positive attitude and relaxed demeanor. I also enjoy providing enrichment for you pet through play, walks, games and treats. Pet care is my life! I am available most every day to help you keep your pets happy and healthy, and to help them thrive in their own, comfortable environment. From a walk around the block a couple times a week, to daily drop in visits while you're at work, and finally house sitting when you're on that special trip, I'm here to be that special friend your pet needs! Keeping your pet safe is my number one priority. From making sure doors and gates are securely shut, to triple checking medicine before it’s given and using an additional slip lead for walks and transport, nothing goes unnoticed!

About: I love to walk dogs and play with cats! I have lots of experience cleaning up after dogs and cleaning up litter boxes as well. Your best friend will be treated with care! I am a student so my schedule is flexible, especially on Tuesday and Thursday. Just message me and I will get back to you soon! I can come to your house and spend time with your pet and take them for a walk! Or, I can also watch your pets at my house. I have a large acreage that I can walk them around.

“Tee-Tee was EXTREMELY accommodating after the first walker I booked became unresponsive HOURS before I had to leave for a work trip out of state. Tee-Tee was on time, very communicative and through the pictures & videos she sent, I could tell my dogs already love her! I definitely will be using her again!”

About: I used to work at a dog kennel a couple years ago. For years I would also volunteer at the shelter in my home town. I’ve always had a dog with me while growing up and of course even now, I can’t imagine not having at least one! I’ve had dogs from all ages from puppies to old babies! I have 5 dogs (all different sizes) and 3 cats! I’ve baby sat my friends dogs and cats and neighbors pets like birds, rabbits, lizards, and handful of others plenty of times too! I’ve been around all kinds of animals and have owned a good diversity of animals. I absolutely adore animals and treat them like they are my babies. I’d love to help you out and take care of your pet while you are away or even let them come over for some doggy daycare! Pet sitting is becoming my full time job! I have plenty of time for my babies and I’ll have plenty of time for yours :) My life revolves around my pets! I have a fenced in yard for my dogs. I normally play with them in my backyard for at least an hour in the afternoon. They love to sunbathe outside so I like to sit outside with them and read. I have a kiddie pool that they love to play in too! In the evenings I take them on a walk through our neighborhood as well. At least one weekend day I’ll either take them to the dog park or on a longer hike/ walk which they absolutely love. I have devoted my days to pet sitting so I am available almost always. I take care of my own animals from sun up till sun down! I have a big fully fenced in yard that my dogs absolutely love! I normally am outside with them playing with them or just to keep an eye on them!

About: I love animals. I have been around a huge variety from farm animals, to reptiles, from birds to domestic pets. I raised lambs, volunteered at a dog shelter, and have my lovely horse to care for now. I love big dogs and think they are often misunderstood. I will always follow your care instructions and will keep you updated on your pet to ease your mind while you are away. I work 2 part time jobs. I work fast food and I babysit. I do not work on Sundays, but the rest of the week my fast food job schedule varies. I know on Thursday the week before what my next weeks schedule is and will never accept jobs that I know would cause me to not properly care for your pet. I don't offer services from my home, but I am knowledgeable to know how to crate your pet if needed, safely attach harnesses, and will check all doors and locks before I leave your property to ensure your pet doesn't escape. I will make sure all water bowls and food bowls are clean, and that water bowls are filled each time I leave.

About: Since a baby, I've grown up with cats, dogs, fish, and reptiles. Not all at once, but I have always been a lover of animals of all types. I have been around animals with sensitive diets, tummy troubles, skin sensitivity, anxiety, and paw pain and know how to spot the warning signs for most common complications. Grooming, bathing, feeding, and exercise are all tasks I am deeply familiar with. If your pet has unique care instructions, trust that I will do my best research prior and will carefully ensure your baby receives the most comfortable stay. I am a college student currently. I currently live in a studio apartment near UNI and will be able to flexibly care for any animals of all types; sans very large dogs for space reasons. My time mostly consists of studying and trying to find the time to exercise enough, so you don't have to worry about a busy body! For my in home service, I am very meticulous about "leaving it as I found it or better than it was." Having military discipline, I am punctual about arriving, check-ins, and feeding/potty times. You can guarantee that any and all instructions relating to your baby or babies is closely followed and communication prompt when necessary. As for boarding or hourly stays, my home is their home. They are welcome to sleep or lounge where they like and accompany me on a walk around town or during a Law and Order binge. Belly rubs and butt scratches are always available round the clock!

About: I’m a current student at UNI pursuing Veterinary Medicine. I’ve cared for my own dogs and cats my entire life and cared for someone else’s for three years in addition to babysitting. I currently have my own friendly Great Pyrenees and Cat and love spending time around furry friends I’m currently working part time and I am out of school very early in the day allowing me to spend my afternoons and nights (and some mornings) caring for your furry friends I have a fenced in yard and a friendly Great Pyrenees and kitty who love interacting with new friends and if need be I have a way of separating my own from yours with our house set up

About: Over the past several years I have helped care for family and friend’s pets. I currently have 4 chaotic cats. I’ve always loved looking after our 4 legged friends! I am currently doing factory work so my schedule is a bit more limited. I am fully available three days of the week, and the other four I am available 3:30-10pm. I can walk dogs as needed, as well as provide the attention and play that they need. I am also able to ensure all the owners rules or guidelines are kept to standard.

About: My name is Meagan and I have loved animals from the beginning of time. I have a rottweiler named Karl and a pit mix named Roman, so big dogs don't seem to phase me. I am in the process of getting my animal science degree from Ellsworth Community College with dreams of vet school in the future. I have a background of dogs of all sizes and ages as well as cattle and equine. I have watched family friends dogs for years, so I have a lot of experience when it comes to animals from other homes. I have never met an animal I didn't like and I'm not about to start now. I look forward to spending time with many more animals that will enter my life in the future.

“Tiara helped us out with a last minute dog walk while my partner and I would be out at work for 12 hours. Serious life saver! She is so so nice and very caring. She sent the best photos and even texted another update after she left to assure us all was good. 10/10 recommend ? Booking again for sure! ❤️”

About: I’ve had experience with many different breeds of dogs ranging from chihuahuas all the way up to Great Danes. No matter the size or breed of dog, I will treat that dog as if it were my own. I’m currently working part time until I go back to school next semester, so I’ll have many opportunities throughout the week to walk or watch dogs. I’ve got a dog of my own, so I know that a safe and fun environment is a very important factor for our fur babies when they’re being watched.

About: I will care for your pets as if they are my own. I have been around cats dogs snakes bearded dragons and fish, I will walk your dogs scoop your cats litter and make sure their tummy’s are full I currently work a full time job but would love to come take care of your fur babies with any free time that I have I clean my cats litter on the daily and make sure they get all the play time they need, I love taking my dogs for walks and giving her as much attention and cuddles she wants
