Pet Sitting in Marion

“Jena is the BEST! She eased my anxiety while leaving my two month old kitten for the first time! Sent plenty of pictures and personalized messages during each drop in! Made it so much easier to enjoy my vacation and not have to stress or worry about my fur baby at home. Definitely will be using her again. ?”

“Amanda was great! I don’t have much experience with Rover but she had knowledge of how everything works and was able to advise me when it was necessary. She was so great with my cats I felt really comfortable leaving them in her care. She also went the extra mile in making sure my space was clean and cared for. Thanks Amanda!!”

“Thank you very much Erik for taking care of my babies! I will definitely contact you when I need a sitter!”

“Brandon and Brianna always do a great job for us!”

About: Currently, I have two special needs cats, ages 6 and 15. In managing all stages of their care, I've learned the ins and out of giving medication, driving to various vet appointments, and providing the extra love and affection that they deserve! I come from a dog family. We've always had at least one dog, but most often two. I’ve had a helping hand in walking them, giving medication, and taking to vets (including in emergency situations). Full-time professional, I split Monday through Friday between Cedar Rapids and Iowa City, with Mondays and Fridays working from home. With ample notice, I can rearrange my schedule to best fit yours. I look to the owner to provide the tips and tricks for their furry loved ones. Each pet is unique in how they like to be treated. Some are shy, some are energetic and escape artists, and I work to ensure I meet them at their level. Generally, I strive to ensure their environment is clean as possible, their food and water filled quickly, and that they receive some sort of affection/play (unless they are shy). I want to provide your pet the calmest and most pleasant experience until their owner(s) return.

“Sara does an excellent job caring for my little dog. He loves having her visit. Sara is very quick to respond to any requests.”

About: I’ve dog sat for multiple family friends over the years. I’ve been around puppies to adult dogs and experienced dogs with medical issues or just ones that want to walk constantly! I am mostly free on weekends, can do early morning walks during the weekday or evenings. But weekends are most free for me. I love helping people out as much as I can and love that this is an alternative to boarding your dog. I am able to watch dogs/cats in the safety and comfort of their own home. I live in a home with three cats myself, and while I understand it is nice to have your pets go somewhere, I also know keeping them in their familiar environment can also be very beneficial.

“Natalie did so good with dogs. Even if my one dog wanted nothing to do with her ?”

“Jessica did an excellent job dropping in 5 times a day to take care of our crabby 14 year old toy poodle. She gave her medications 4 times a day and sent pictures regularly. We highly recommend her.”

About: I have gown up with dogs, geckos, turtles & snakes to name a few. I am willing to help out with any kind of pet! I have amazing an super friendly couch potato named Xena, but I also have experience with an aggressive family dog. I know what it’s like to have a dog that needs extra caution. Let me walk your dog so I don’t bring another one home! Monday-Thursday: 6-9pm Friday: 6-10pm Saturday: 8am-9pm Sunday: 8am-7pm Send me a message and we can work something out! I have a good sized fenced in yard. I have a couple kennels if needed. My dog is not kenneled. Dogs can be outside or chilling on the couch with me, whichever they prefer. My dog loves playing with other dogs around her size or smaller.

“Alison is a life saver! I unexpectedly had to stay at work a lot longer than planned and wasn’t going to be able to be home in time for my dog’s feeding time. Alison was able to do a drop in visit within an hour of reaching out! Took the kiddos out, fed, and gave them treats- if she hadn’t dropped in, I would have felt terrible. So grateful for her!”

“Krista is amazing. She’s very kind and knowledgeable. I knew from the moment I met her that she would take very good care of Thanos. He even seems to be in a better mood on the days she visits. She was able to answer all of my puppy training questions. I believe she would be great with any dog breed and age. I will continue to use her services and would recommend her to anyone”

“Our dogs Penny and Ruby have appreciated Emma's calm nature, kindness, and loving care. We know they are well taken care of while we are away.”
