“Riley was absolutely amazing with Sammy! Not only did Riley accept our request last minute, she went above and beyond any other sitter we have had! Plenty of check-ins for a worried dog mom and excellent around the clock communication. Sammy came back happier than ever!”
“Mark was awesome. Nisha was well taken care of and loved her stay. Lots of walks and snuggles. Felt very comfortable leaving Nisha with Mark and will definitely board with him again. Thanks much Mark.”
“Jacqueline was amazing! From making me feel welcomed right from the first message to going above and beyond with communication, photos, updates and flexibity. 11/10 would recommend, if you care about your furry friend, with Jacqueline you can rest assured they are in safe hands :)”

“Tammy's services for our 2 pups brought me the most peace of mind I've ever felt while on vacation! We are so grateful that she and her family provided fun, comfort, and safety for our dogs. We loved that our dogs were able to play outside and play with Tammy's dog Ranger, who is a very good host as well. : ) I appreciated the updates while we were away, and I have 100% confidence that we will use Tammy's services again. It's truly SO NICE to alleviate all worries that come with dropping off your dogs for pet sitting; thank you Tammy and family!”
About: I've had dogs in my life since I was young. The newest member of our family, Reeses, makes me smile every day and we're learning from each other so much, she just warms my heart. When I was a senior in H.S. I worked with a professional trainer, training German Shepherds. It was during this time I learned that I've got a great commanding voice that dogs want to listen to. In college I was the president of the animal rights club, and worked with animal shelters in the area. Next year I plan on taking some official training classes and starting my own dog training / sitting business. Until then I'd love to make some new furry friends and their people too. I work from home, so I'm able to take frequent breaks and spend time with our four legged friends. I start the morning off with a walk, spend lunch working on some training or going for a ride, and I'm home and ready to play right at five as soon as I turn my computer off. I'm free to take potty breaks throughout the day as needed as well. Dogs love a good routine, and I'm here to help make that happen. I want them to feel as comfortable as possible while you're away so you can come home to a stress free pup, and for you to feel comfortable knowing your loved one is being looked after by someone that cares and is there with them.
“Cassie was absolutely wonderful with our dog. Our daughter loved her picture and video updates while we were on vacation. Cassie's dog Goose was also great with our dog! I wouldn't hesitate to leave our dog with her again!”
About: I grew up taking care of horses and a cat. Once I got a place of my own, I adopted two dogs and got a cat. I currently have a puppy who I am teaching basic commands. I have always been an animal lover and enjoy meeting new furry friends! My family and I love animals and look forward to meeting yours! I currently work full time from home with limited travel, but I do have a flexible schedule that allows me to plan around work to walk dogs or do potty breaks. I have a fenced in yard with two friendly dogs and a cat. I can easily crate your pet if needed. I enjoy walking and my son loves to play fetch with dogs!
“Diane was absolutely amazing! She obviously loves animals and understands both pets and pet parents! I feel confident that she took great care of my baby. I would 100% book with her again!”
“Nora was very accommodating with pick up and drop off times and communicated throughout our long weekend away. Trustworthy and dependable and no doubt Lilly had so much fun with the kitties 😊 would definitely use her again! Thanks Nora!”
“Thank you so much for making Kevin feel so at home with your family! I absolutely enjoyed all the photos and the communication with me while we were gone.”
About: I treat every dog like they’re my own—spoiled, snuggled, and talked to like they understand English perfectly (which, let’s be honest, they probably do). Dogs have always been a big part of my life—I’ve grown up around them, lived with them, and loved every slobbery kiss and wagging tail, no matter the breed! Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule—I work 7am to 3pm on week days, so I’m free for evening walks and full-time weekend pet sitting. I have a large fenced in yard with plenty of space to run and play. We currently have three dogs that will be able to keep your pup company and to play with.
About: I've been around dogs since I can remember. All but one of my jobs have been involved around dogs. I am a Daycare attendant at the bark bark club Currently right now. I do have a normal 9 to 5 job during the week. But I am off on Wednesdays and Fridays. But I do work on Saturdays and Sundays for like 4 to 6 hours. I am very flexible with taking care of your pet in between shifts to the like. I don't mind going back to your house and I haver never had this be problem I will Crate your dogs if you want or I can leave them outside of their crate it all just depends on what you want
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats in the household. My priority is care and love for your furry friends! When I see dogs in public, I want to pet them all day :) Currently working part-time as well as attending college. I live in a dorm—no pets allowed. Classes are from ~12PM until ~4PM and work evening/nights. Nights I am not working my schedule is wide open. I like to gain a sense of trust at first between me and dogs(holding my hand out to sniff, pets if warranted, etc); Steer away from other dogs in public if mine gets aggressive; always conscious of surroundings; Dogs brighten my day every time I see one!

About: I have experience with birds, fish, and animals from pocket pets to cows. I've had dogs and cats my entire life. I foster animals for scott County humane society. I work m-f 7 am to 5:30 pm. I am able to care for animals on weekends and evenings. I could do a lunch break visit. I have a fenced in yard and lots of space in my house. I have a large crate if needed. I am in a safe neighborhood for walks.
About: I currently have a 8 year old Cavapoo. Experience with dogs of all different sizes. Experience in staying over night and house/dog sitting for others. Experienced in giving medication to dogs during my past house sitting experiences. Experience with dogs of all activity levels. I am available to dog owners in the greater Quad Cities as I live in Long Grove, IA but work in Moline, IL. My Cavapoo, Cade has never met another dog he doesn't like, and has learned how to share the bed with other dogs as well, and myself:) Can't wait to meet your beloved dog while you're away! I currently work full time, going into the office in Moline on Tuesday and Wednesday, the rest of the week is working remote from home. I'm happy to let your pet have free reign of my house, as their own. We live on an acre and have a large yard. As your pet isn't familiar with my yard, I would let them outside on a leash as we do not have a fence.
