House Sitting in Le Mars

“Sarah is wonderful! She asked questions & was attentive to my detailed communication. She is conscientious. She was sensitive to my feelings about being away from Sargent & sent pictures & communicated throughout the weekend. This eased my separation anxiety, allowing me to enjoy my time away. She was active with Sargent, which is what he needs. When we got home from our weekend, he slept most of the evening. A tired dog is a happy dog. Sarah has a genuine love of animals & it shows in her care of them.”

“My pup loved being with Alexia. She spoiled him and he was happy and healthy when we returned to our home. The house looked great too! I’ll use her again for sure!!”

About: I worked at a doggy daycare for two years and am planning on attending dog grooming school in the fall. I also have 4 dogs of my own. I love all pets and love getting to know each pets personality. I am training to give medicine and watch your pet how you would. I work for a before and after school program so I am pretty flexible. I work 6:30am-8:30am, 3pm-5:30pm Monday-Thursday and 1pm-5:30pm on Friday. Weekends are mostly free and I have summers and holidays off. I can ensure your pet will be comfortable and safe in my care. I will make sure they eat and potty according to your instructions.

About: I grew with lots of animals. I cared for one dog and one cat growing up. I love all animals and I want to ensure you feel confident in your pets well-being. I am a student at Dordt, so I have free time during the day to check in or take your pets for a walk. My roommate has a dog, so I am often out taking Harley on midday runs with me :) I aim to provide a safe environment for your pets. I can walk them during the day and check-in on them if that is needed.

About: I love dogs and I love spending time outdoors with them. I have two dogs of my own that are my whole entire world! I have dog sat for friends and family plenty of times, and I also have a part-time job at a daycare/boarding place. I would love to meet your pets and be able to take care of them when you are out of town. Thank you in advance for the opportunity! I work during the week 8am-5pm with an hour lunch break that I come home for to take my dogs outside. I also have a part-time job at a dog boarding/daycare on the weekends, those shifts are 6:45-10am and 2:15-5pm. I have a 6 ft privacy fence and two male dogs that love to play outside or love a good nap! In a client's home I follow instructions carefully and treat things and animals as if they are my own.

About: Lifelong dog care is more than just a hobby for me—it’s a passion that began with childhood dog walking and grew into a deep commitment after my Air Force service. Today, my own dog is my constant companion and she absolutely loves making new friends, making my home a welcoming environment for your pup. My flexible part-time schedule allows me to prioritize a consistent, high-quality routine for every guest, from strict feeding schedules to plenty of one-on-one attention. I am also currently expanding my professional skills through the American Red Cross Cat and Dog First Aid certification to ensure your furry family members are in the safest hands possible. Whether providing a calm environment to relax or a reliable home-away-from-home experience, I treat every dog with the same love and discipline as my own. With a highly flexible schedule, I offer dedicated care that mirrors your pet’s home routine. I am experienced in administering medications, maintaining strict feeding schedules, and providing plenty of exercise through daily walks. Whether it is a midday stroll or overnight boarding, I have the availability and experience—including caring for my senior neighbors' dogs—to ensure your best friend is safe, healthy, and happy. I prioritize safety through a structured home environment and professional preparation. As a military veteran, I am naturally disciplined with following your specific feeding, medication, and exercise instructions to the letter. I am currently completing the American Red Cross Cat and Dog First Aid course to ensure I can handle any situation with confidence. My home is a secure, routine-driven space where your pet will enjoy a familiar flow—including morning dental treats, timely meals, and daily evening walks. I have a long-standing history of trust in my community, regularly boarding and walking younger, high-energy dogs for my neighbors. I also happen to be a world-class cuddler, but shh... don't tell anyone! ;)

About: I have taken care of dogs for over 15 years. I have experience with all sizes of dogs including extra large dogs. I love dogs of all ages...especially puppies. I have taken care of dogs that had disabilities/movement issues. I believe that dogs should be treated like people and be loved as much as possible because all they want to do is make people happy. I am a dog mom and have two wonderful, but crazy Labrador Retrievers. They are my kids and I would do anything for them. I'm looking to do this at least part time, but hopefully full time. I have a full time job right now, so my schedule is a little flexible right now and my weekends are usually open. I treat all dogs and cats as if they were my own. I treat them with care, respect, and lots of love. I am very patient and I care for each dog individually because they all have different levels of need.

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a child. I have cared for dogs/puppies and cats/kittens of all ages. I have years of experience caring for barnyard and exotic pets as well. I am also a registered nurse and have medical education and training to add. I love caring for animals and treat all of them just like family! Pet owners who book services with me with receive regular pictures and updates so they know their beloved pet(s) are safe and happy! I work full-time from the end of August through the end of May, but have evenings and weekends off. I have summers off and have extended breaks during Thanksgiving and Christmas, plus other holidays, allowing me plenty of opportunity to assist you with your time away from your beloved pet(s). I would be caring for your pet in your home and would be available to do overnight stays, day hours, or whatever timeframe needed while you are away.

About: I have trained and owned animals my whole life. I graduated with a veterinary assistant degree from western Iowa tech in Sioux city Iowa. Animals are my world and I love working and hanging out with them daily. I own a dog and 2 cats and love to cuddle them and train them so they can become and live their best life possible. I can give all my animals baths, exercise, positive reinforcement and love anytime they need it. I have a huge back yard and love to play with them outside too.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life! My mom and I used to foster cats and dogs of all sizes, so I’ve had experience caring for all kinds of personalities. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, and I love spending my free time outdoors. Taking your dog for walks and giving them some extra love and attention would be a joy for me! I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, so I’m available most weekdays and weekends for walks, drop ins, pet sitting ECT... I can easily adjust my availability to fit your pet’s routine and make sure they get plenty of care and attention throughout the day. I care for every pet like they’re part of my own. When I’m in your home, I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable by following their normal routines and giving them plenty of attention. I will always make to keep walks fun but safe. My goal is to build trust with both you and your pet so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.
