Pet Sitting in Loretto

About: Im an animal science major, I've worked at dog kennels and a dog boarding area since I was little. If you can't tell animals are basically my life. Some special skills are knowing that all dogs are different, I will make sure that I know all the necessities needed for each dog or critter that you will have me watch! If they need special medication I'll make sure that's taken, and anything you do for your dog/critter normally. I'll also make sure will get done as well! Hope this helps explain some more about who I am, if there are any questions don't be afraid to ask! I do work during the day in Lawrenceburg from 7 to 4. I work full time in Winterset, but I'm off by the latest 4 p.m during the week. I'm free on weekends, and can be there anytime then! For service for pets in my home. I apologize, but at the moment I don't bring into my home. For in a client's home, I make sure they have their regular routine they're use to. They don't recieve any extra food that may upset stomachs. I also ensure to follow any rules given or asked by the pet owner.

“Haley was OUTSTANDING! Not only is she a joy, but our Gracie girl loved her. Haley sent tons of photos every visit, loved on our girl, even cleaned up a hairball. She was highly communicative, sweet, and an amazing pet sitter. I will absolutely be using her again for our next trip!”

About: I have 2 100 pound dogs, a cat, and 3 kids so I’m used to chaos. Love all animals and can handle big pups or non people lover cats. Stay at home mom so I’m available for let out and walks everyday and almost anytime of the day. I just have to be at school drop off and pickup. I can follow your directions for dogs or cats. I can let them out to potty or take them for walks. As long as they are kid friendly I can be there anytime or day!

“Presleigh was wonderful! We had last minute change of Thanksgiving plans and she didng hesitate to pick us up and come feed our sweet kitty. She even went the extra mile and fed the strays we take care of that live outside and filled our water bowls that were low when she absolutely did not have to! If you want someone who can be asked to do one thing and she helps out with extra stuff, this is your girl!”

About: We've lived on a farm most of my life and we've had animals all my life. I currently have 2 pups of my own. A 11 year old English Shepherd Mix (Kai) and a 7 year old Miniature Long-Haired Dachshund (Riley). I lost my childhood dog Max (a Border Collie mix) from old age when he was 16.... I have trained all my dogs and not just the average leashing and commands but tricks too! I have also always done all the bathing, grooming and trimming nails. I absolutely adore dogs. I am hoping to turn this into a full time job. But am willing to start out with what I can get while doing a part time job. I will always try to make sure your fur baby is well taken care of, safe, comfortable and happy. So, there will be no need to worry.

“Kenedy gave Rhett great care while I was at work. Made sure he got good walks and playtime! She was great at communicating and sent great pictures. Would recommend her!!”

About: I love all animals like they are my own. Your animals will be in the best care possible while you are enjoying your away time. I work from home so watching your animals would be my pleasure. I love sitting around enjoying time with my animals while I work so why not include others. I have friendly dogs of my own that love company and I live out in the country on 5 acres. My dogs love showing off their space.

About: I grew up on a 100-acre farm and have spent my entire life caring for animals of all kinds. My experience includes both everyday and medical care for livestock and household pets, giving me a strong understanding of animal health, behavior, and individual needs. I have implemented treat based training as well as clicker training with my own pet. Over the years, my family bred and raised both small and large dog breeds, ranging from Beagles to Great Pyrenees. This hands-on experience has given me confidence working with animals of all temperaments, sizes, and energy levels — from high-energy working dogs to elderly and disabled pets requiring extra patience and specialized care. Animal care has always been a true passion of mine. I believe animals are a gift to everyone they meet, and I am committed to providing compassionate, reliable, and attentive care to every pet as if they were my own. Pet care is my full-time profession, allowing me to provide reliable, flexible, and attentive care for every animal I work with. I also attend school virtually while completing my degree in therapy, which gives me the ability to maintain a consistent schedule dedicated to pet care. My long-term goal is to open a therapy practice incorporating equine-assisted therapy to help support and heal others through the connection between humans and animals. I prioritize providing care in my clients’ homes, where pets are most comfortable and able to maintain their normal routines and environment. I believe staying in a familiar space helps reduce stress and anxiety while allowing pets to feel safe and secure. I take the time to follow each owner’s care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication administration, and any special needs. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care while treating both your pets and your home with the highest level of respect and professionalism.

About: I have been able to care for dogs from their whelping to their old age and death. I have cared for dogs with hip dysplasia, diabetes, and emotional disorders. I worked at a local animal shelter providing for the grooming, health, and play needs of local dogs. I am not currently working (I am studying for my NCLEX), and have loads of free time to look after and play with your smaller and furrier family members. Building trust is essential when working with animals, and I like to prioritize becoming familiar with the pet. Once that trust is established, I can better ensure the safety, health, and happiness of the animal. Dogs are incredibly smart and understand words and your tone of voice, both of which I am mindful of when interacting to maintain a productive relationship.

“Quianna is super nice and really does love pets. My pups liked her on their first meeting. She took pictures and movies for me which made my day. I will absolutely be going to her first next time I need a sitter!”

About: I have taken care of animals of all shapes and sizes for 20+ years. I was also a groomer for 5 years and vet assistant. I'm quite comfortable with senior and puppy care,, giving medication and cleaning up any messes. I also have training experience with all variety, from basic commands to proper leash walking. Currently self employed, so I have a very open schedule and am able to accommodate quite a wide range of needs, from early morning to late night and weekends. Making your pet feel safe and comfortable while you're away is my number 1 priority. Giving them lots of stimulating play time, with lots of head and belly scratches

About: I am an owner of two Jack Russell Terriers who make my life incredibly entertaining. Both of them are rescue pets. The relationship I've built with them has introduced me to a whole new part of myself. I love to dote on others' fur babies as well. I'm a professional musician who does this as a way of supplementing my income, so my schedule is *usually* accommodating to almost any pet owner's needs. I prefer to do drop ins and some house sitting. I don't typically want to bring my own pups along with me until I know your dog's temperament. Even then, it is rare. They are beginning to show that they’re senior pups. If you think I'll fit your needs, don't hesitate to call. I'f I'm available, your pups will be well cared for and smothered with affection.

About: I have helped my best friend who is a breeder for a couple years take care of her liters of pups and adult dogs. ♥️ I can watch or do drop in in the evenings after my regular job or on weekends. I can also do the same on some holidays. I have a fenced in back yard and a very friendly golden doodle. I am also comfortable in a clients home if that is what they prefer.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life, growing up surrounded by dogs, cats, rabbits, and even the occasional chicken. As a longtime pet owner myself, I understand how much our animals mean to us. I treat every pet I care for like part of the family, with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs. Whether it’s a daily walk or a weekend stay, you can count on me to keep your furry (or feathered!) friend safe, happy, and loved. I’m available for midday walks, check-ins, and evening visits. I also offer overnight house sitting if you're looking for someone to keep your pets company overnight. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by sticking to their usual routine, feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of affection. I respect each pet’s personality and any specific instructions you provide. If I’m doing overnight care, I maintain a calm and cozy environment, making sure your pet gets attention, companionship, and consistency while you’re away.

About: I have owned and cared for dogs most of my life! I currently own two giant babies (German Shepard) and can handle everything in between! Some days or weeks, your best friend just needs some extra love and attention. I have experience volunteering at animal shelters and caring for animals of various sizes and personalities! Let me care for your best friends, like I would care for my own! During the Summer time, I have open availability. Any day, any time! Tell me what you need, and I will accommodate! Weekends or weekday I can do it all! I am able to work with difficult or aggressive pets, as I happen to own two of them. I can go on walks, play in a yard or just cuddle on the couch. Even though I am a dog owner, I have some experience caring for cats as well!
