Dog Walking in Marshalltown

About: Hello! My name is Sasha, thank you for checking out my pet sitter profile! I have over 8 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and breeds. I’m experienced with administering medications, senior care, potty training, physical exercise, enrichment, feeding, and more. I have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to provide plenty of exercise, enrichment, and potty breaks throughout the day. When I care for your pets, they’re treated like family! I offer drop-in visits, house sitting, and boarding. (At this time, I’m not accepting new clients for boarding.) I have four friendly dogs and two friendly cats. If your pet prefers to be alone, that’s no problem. I can keep my dogs separated to make sure everyone is comfortable. Safety is my number one priority, and I’m currently taking a course in animal CPR and first aid.

“Shasha did a great job walking our dog while we were away for the day! Would definitely recommend!”

About: I love the energy of animals - particularly the playfulness, affection, and intelligence of dogs. I grew up with cats, dogs, and chickens and have cared for bunnies, sheep, and fish. Chickens, like dogs, stand out because of their unique personalities and the funny hierarchy in a hen house. I’d be happy to offer care to a wide variety of animals as I’m comfortable around all I’ve encountered, but dogs hold a special home in my heart. I’m self-employed and have been running my own online business for nearly 12 years now and I’m very flexible and open to your schedule. I am well-versed in the importance of timely, thorough, and thoughtful responses and attention to detail. I’ll be sure to respond to requests and messages as quickly as possible, and to stay in communication with my customers for the duration of my stay with your pup! When I’m not enjoying the company of animals, you can usually find me writing or cooking. I also love nature walks and any change to watch the sunset. Because I do travel, I can’t have a dog of my own right now, but I’d love to “get my fix” by caring for your furry friend! I can’t wait to meet you! I love starting and ending the day with a walk, and a dog is the perfect companion! My schedule is flexible so I'm more than happy to take their lead and listen to their needs. At this time, I can't host dogs in my home, but I would be delighted to house sit and care for your home and animals while you are away!

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 4 years and have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. From energetic puppies to sweet seniors, I make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I’ve helped neighbors, friends, and family by walking, feeding, bathing, and giving lots of playtime and cuddles. I’m reliable, patient, and treat every pet like my own. I’m also comfortable with special routines, medications, and senior care. I work full time during the day, but I’m available for early mornings, evenings, and weekends. This works great for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. I make sure pets get the exercise, attention, and love they need before and after work, and I keep weekends open for more flexible scheduling. Your pet’s well-being always fits into my daily routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. Even though I work full time during the day, I make sure they get plenty of care, attention, and exercise when I’m home. I follow feeding and medication routines exactly as instructed and keep pets on a consistent schedule. I’m attentive, trustworthy, and will always provide updates and photos so you feel at ease while you’re away. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet as if they were my own.

About: Fear Free Veterinary Professional Certification. Animal Lover since birth. Mom of humans, dog, cats, fish and chinchillas. I love long walks outdoors with furry friends! I am a college student and a mom of teens. Between class and home I have free time to provide exercise for dogs home alone. While walking for four legged friend they will always be on a leash. I will be sure to give them water and food. ( food if required at the time) I use the Fear Free method in caring for your pet.

About: I grew up in the country. We always had at least 2 dogs and 2 cats at our home. I can keep your pets safe and happy. I currently don't have any pets of my own. I plan to get another dog here around July, so until then, I have plenty of time to look after yours. I typically will let dogs out to use the restroom or just play every 2 hours. I like to use positive reinforcement, treats, and affection while looking after animals. I realy enjoy spending time with dogs.

About: What sets me apart is my experience with a wide range of animals—not just dogs and cats, but also reptiles and small pets. I’ve spent years fostering, pet sitting, and walking dogs of all breeds and temperaments, which has given me a deep understanding of animal behavior and individual needs. Whether it’s helping a shy rescue feel safe, caring for an energetic puppy, or tending to the unique needs of a senior pet, I’m patient, observant, and dedicated to making sure every animal feels comfortable and cared for. I treat each pet like my own—with plenty of attention, structure, and love. I currently care for animals full time, I run my own small rescue, and it gives me full flexibility to care for your animals like they are my own! Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or taking them out for walks, my main priority is keeping them comfortable, safe, and happy. I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine—feeding schedules, favorite toys, and walking routes—so they feel secure while you’re away. During visits, I always make time for play, cuddles, and attention, as well as fresh water and clean-up. On walks, I make sure your pet gets the right balance of exercise and fun, always keeping their safety and comfort in mind.

About: I understand that hiring a pet sitter is a matter of trust. That's why I offer more than just a service—I offer peace of mind. As a longtime pet owner, I've navigated every pet-related situation imaginable, and my experience gives me a calm and capable approach to handling unexpected issues. When you leave your pets with me, you can relax, knowing their well-being is my top priority and that I will care for them with the same love, respect, and meticulous attention to detail I provide my own pets. My flexible schedule allows me to be highly adaptable to your needs. If your work hours change, you need a last-minute sitter, or your pet requires special timing for meals and walks, I can accommodate it. I am able to provide reliable and consistent care during all hours of the day, ensuring your pet's routine is never disrupted. My personal pets are my family, and I provide them with nothing but the best. You can rest assured that your pet will be treated with the same boundless love and attention that I give to my own "fur babies."

“Chloe is just a natural with dogs. She was very comfortable on her first walk with Minnie, it seemed like he has met Minnie many times. She handled everything like a pro.”

About: Prices are negotiable. I understand when having multiple dogs it racks up to a lot. I am willing to work with you on prices. I’ve had a dog since I was 8 years old. My love for dogs is never ending. I have been taking care of other peoples dogs since I was 19. I’m available to stay with your dog. I am not available to bring your dog to my house. I believe dogs do best in their own environment with all their toys and their own area. I’m currently work full time for a daycare in Polk City. I work 10hr days Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. On the weekends I like to take my sister’s dog for a walk unless I am watching someone else dog I will take that dog on a walk if able to. Majority of the dogs I watch stay at home because they know that area better. Anxiety is very common in dogs that get boarded or are away from home.

“Lucia was amazing and took great care of our 3 dogs while we were out of town! She took them to the dog park and sent great detailed updates. She was very friendly to communicate with and quick to respond. We’ll definitely use Lucia next time we go out of town!”
