About: I’ve had pets since childhood, including a cat and dog into hospice age. I live downtown and work from home from a pet-friendly apartment with an elevator and a small fenced in potty area. With splitting custody of my large bernedoodle, I’ve got plenty of free time to help take care of your pet too! I work from home 8-5ish and can be flexible when it comes to walks or bathroom breaks. My dog spends every other week with me, he does great with other dogs but between those weeks, I have plenty of free time to take on other dogs. I live and work in a large pet-friendly apartment with an elevator and a fenced in potty area. As I’m centrally located downtown, I can get to other places in town if needed.

“Jaden has an obvious love for dogs! He is very knowledgeable about handling different breeds and handling them together. Jaden went out of his way to accommodate my schedule as well as my boy Duke's special needs. I wish I never had to be without my bud, but when I do I will leave him with someone like Jaden!”

Evan T.

“My dogs are super picky about the people they like but they love Allyson! Every time I drop them off they are so excited to see her. 10/10 would recommend!”

About: Dogs have always been in my life. I volunteered at Animal Lifeline for 8 years and had a dog daycare of my own for a while. Dogs are everything and I’d be honored to love on yours. I currently work full time from home so doggie day care is definitely doable! My day ends at 3 pm so I can be that late afternoon or evening potty break or walk. Weekends have potential as long well with pre-arranged time and notice. Should your dog(s) stay with me during the day, I have a fenced yard and no carpet in case of oopsies! If you request that I come to your house I am very reliable, responsible and respectful. I can guarantee a boat load of scritches and belly rubs as well as time for “business”.

“Always great and so accommodating to getting Cricket in last minute. Cricket always seems happy when he gets picked and like he had a good day.”

About: NOTE: I work weekdays throughout the school year. Still available, but pets will be at home without me on weekdays for about 7 hours. I have owned and cared for dogs for over 25 years. I have cared for small dogs <25 pounds all the way up to large sized Great Danes > 200 pounds. I have been fostering dogs for Safe Paws Iowa for the past 3 years. I am available for a large portion of the summer because I only coach softball outside of the school year. I am very active and would love to share that energy with dogs! Walking, jogging, or just playing in the doggy pool is no issue at all. I currently have two dogs of my own. They can play all together or be kept separated! I also have experience giving dogs meds as some of the dogs in my care have different long term conditions. Can’t wait to meet your precious pups! Please contact me if you have any remaining questions! I am mostly free over the summer and weekends. I run errands or make plans outside of when I’m taking care of pets. Pet care is my priority while hosting! I have a fenced in yard, my own dogs to join in play if wanted, I have gates/doors and a finished lower level where I can separate dogs if need be, and have multiple kennels. I allow my dogs on furniture, but can follow owner house rules.

“EXCELLENT CARE! sent pictures, updates not one worry!!”

About: I believe that animals were put on this earth to show us how to love! The least we can do is return the favor ❤️ I work from home so I have all the time to show your pet love away from home! When I'm not working I have most evenings and weekends available to check in when they are at home! I have a Fenced in yard and two dogs to keep your pup company! I also have an XXL crate needed if that helps comfort them, so that they have their own space when needed!

“Friendly sitter who was flexible with our last minute request. Dogs were well taken care of!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I had my own pup since I was 2, and he was truly my best friend. I cared for him through his senior years, giving him meds, comfort, and gentle support right up until he passed on Halloween. Because of that, I understand how to be patient, loving, and calm with older dogs, and I treat every pet like family. Your dog will get real care, attention, and kindness with me. I’m currently looking for a job, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m available any day of the week for drop-ins and pet sitting. I’m not offering walks right now this time of the year. When caring for dogs, I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and loved. I follow their routine, give lots of attention, make sure they’re fed on time, and keep their space clean. I also have a fenced-in backyard, so dogs can get fresh air and play safely. I’m patient, gentle, and always pay attention to their needs so they feel at home with me.

About: I grew up on a farm, caring for pets of all shapes and sizes! I've had many dogs over the years, from young to old and big to small. I am experienced with giving medication, baths, nail trims and love! I am very adaptable to your pets needs. For the summer, I work weekdays two hours a day with some volunteer work on the side. I have occasional shifts on my campus that may be longer but will know in advance if I am available that day or not to make sure the pet sitting does not overlap. Starting August 25th, I have classes that last 3-4 hours during the day Monday-Thursday. If your pet can wait that long for me to come back, I am available to book! I am still fully free Friday-Sunday. I am able to host pets in my apartment! I live in an upstairs apartment and spend most of my time there. I have a 360°camera installed to watch your pet if I have to spend any time away. My apartment complex has a spacious lawn that is entirely fenced in. In my clients home, I am extra careful to follow any house rules. In case of overnight caretaking, I am comfortable with any sleeping arrangements (couch etc.). My top priorities are your pup and your preferences!

“Katie is wonderful! Loves dogs. Understands puppies. Very attentive and kind.”
