“Tia is a very reliable person sitter. She made sure my kitties were well taken care of while I was away. I’m for sure asking for her help again whenever I am out of town. Thank you so much!”
About: I am a current dog mom and have experience with a variety of dogs and cats. I would love to care for your fur kids! I am an active person and enjoy being outdoors. I work full time and nearby with varying hours that allow me to care for pets. I always ensure my dogs’ safety by keeping them in a fenced-in area or on a leash. I value each dog’s unique personality and tailor services accordingly.
“We've used Lizzie numerous times to watch our 5 cats. They are on 3 different foods and fed in 3 separate rooms. 😅 She takes care of our babies flawlessly despite how high maintenance they are. Love her!”
“Sydney was great with Jax and Gemma. They can be very excitable but after being away and cared for by Sydney they were calm when we arrived home. She was very communicative while we were away and I could tell by the pictures she sent that they enjoyed having her look after them! I couldn’t have asked for anything more from a sitter and will definitely be booking her if we go away in the future!”
“She is fantastic!! She's patient and very caring. I don't trust too many people, but I completely trust her. She took amazing care of my dog and spent some extra time with her when she was sad. Just an incredible young lady, and I highly recommend her.”
“Run, don’t walk, to book Nicole! My apartment was cleaner than how I left it! My cat was happy and fluffy, and Nicole provided thorough updates and cute pictures. Absolutely above and beyond. Thank you Nicole, we will definitely be re-booking ☺️”
About: I have had a dog since I was a young child. My love and passion has always been animals. I have pet sit for friends and family. I have always had multiple pets in my home that I have cared for. I am trustworthy and reliable and would love to care for your pets. I’m currently working part-time so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your fur-babies and give them potty breaks and the attention and love they deserve. I have a fenced in yard and friendly dogs to keep your dogs safe and give them company. I also have a dog crated if needed and lots of toys.
“Sophie really went above and beyond caring for our sweet babies. I was really worried about leaving 4 cats for 17 days but she put me at ease right away. Providing pictures and updates. She even helped us with an ant problem she noticed in the kitchen. When I got home my cats did not seem stressed like they usually do when left alone, they also seemed very well cared for. I would absolutely book Sophie again.”
“Amanda was very reliable and great with communication. It’s always scary not knowing someone well and having them stay at your house with your pets and she over exceeded our expectations. We appreciate it! Will definitely keep her on our list for the future!!”
About: I have worked in the veterinary field for over 10 years. Experience with cats and dogs. I am also comfortable medicating animals. Minimal experience with exotics. I do work a full-time job and am available on weekends. I can still dog sit during the week, I just have to leave for work. I can follow any instructions given by the owner to keep their pet(s) safe. I will go outside with them and watch them in the yard.
About: I have cared for many different dogs and cats over the years. From small to large, I love them all. I’ve worked with all kinds of different breeds and personalities! I am looking for some summer weekend jobs! I nanny during the week, so weekends are all that work for me. I would love to walk your pet, play with them, or just let them out to go potty. I have over 2 years of pet experience. I own both cats and dogs, so I have lots of personal experience with both. I am also very responsible and timely when it comes to routines!
About: Hi! I'm Jenna, 19 years old, and high school graduate. I have grown up with pets all my life and I absolutely love them! I'm currently scheduling bookings for week day and weekends as well. My schedule is very flexible. I currently have 2 dogs, Holly and Sadie, along with my cats, Daisy and Pixie. Holly is a 7 year old Maltese and Poodle mix and Sadie is a 2 year old Labradoodle. I have also worked with the Scott County Humane Society and the shelter pups there, where I learned basic first aid for dogs and cats. I believe that pets are our family and we should always find the right care to fit their needs. Contact me and I'll make that happen! Thank you :)
About: I am currently working from home full-time. I adopted my puppy Cooper in January 2021 and love that I get to stay home with him all day. I’ve grown up with multiple dogs in my house so I know I’ll take great care of yours and show them endless love and snuggles! I love to play outside with them, especially now that the weather is getting a bit cooler. I only have a few years of paid experience (on and off), but I've been a loving dog owner my whole life. I’d love to share the love and fun of meeting and caring for new pups in my free time! I’m a full-time working, stay at home dog mama with a bunch of free time! I am only in the office on Wednesdays, so won’t be available then. I am available after 4pm every weekday (other than Wed) and anytime during the weekends! Cooper can be selective with his puppy friends so more often than not, I will come to your home if needed! I offer walking and drop-in visits, but if you need anything more, I’m happy to work with you!

Cassandra C.
“Cassie has been our in-home pet sitter many times! Our three little guys absolutely love her and so do we! We always know our Shi-Poos (and our home) are extremely well cared for when they are with Cassie. She openly communicates with us when we are away and sends us the best pictures of our boys while she is with them. We can truly relax if we are on vacation knowing that the boys are loved as if they are Cassie's own. Having the knowledge and experience that Cassie has in the veterinarian tech field also gives us great peace of mind. We highly recommend Cassie as a pet sitter!”
