Shawn did AMAZING with my small zoo of animals! I contacted him on short notice and he was great to work with. He sent me pics, played with my giant dogs, and made sure everyone was cared for. Will 100% use him again in the future.

Katie did a great job with our cat. He had always been boarded when we were out of town and I was a bit nervious leaving him at home. What a great result. He was happy, healthy, and relaxed. When boarded it takes a couple of days for him to get back to his normal personality. I plan to schedule at home visits whenever we must be out of town. Thanks for your care and attention Katie.

Jess was such a great choice to watch my Sammy boy. We were gone from 5/22-6/1 and had no idea it was getting VERY warm here in Iowa. We did not yet have our window air conditioners in. At one point, it got to 85 in our house. I was able to have a neighbor install the window ac’s. Jess was concerned for Sam and offered to stop by to check on him (on a day that wasn’t originally on the calendar). I truly appreciate her doing that! We were in Florida and that helped eased my mind!! We’re already set up to have her take care of him later this summer. Thanks again Jess!

Kristin did an outstanding job taking care of my two dogs and two cats while I was away for five days. The true measure of that is how relaxed they were when I returned. I highly recommend her and will certainly be using her again.

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies! I am available anytime after 10am every day! My apartment complex is very pet friendly! I also live near downtown so the fur babies and I can go on long or short beautiful walks!

Dorothy has always had animals as long as i have known her. They should be considered the luckiest pets to have her as their owner! She is so patient and caring with all the pets she has had. She frequently pet sits for us when we are out of town and is happy to have the extra playmates.

Aadhar Pandey is my brother. I have multiple fishes and a hamster. He has pet-sat my pets on multiple occasions during our vacation. The most recent occasion was during September when we were on a vacation for a month. He took such good care of my pets feeding them, cleaning after them and playing with them. We had peace of mind during our vacation to have such a caring pet sitter. He has also pet sat dogs for neighbors and my cousins. The recent occasion that I recall is him petsitting my dogs during which he took such a good care of their dogs feeding them, petting them, taking them for walk, and cleaning after them. His love for animals is undeniable and he is such a caring person. I would highly recommend him.
