1. Angie M.

“Angie did a great job taking care of my two kitties they were both relaxed, healthy, and happy when I returned. I highly recommend her... she spent a good amount of time each visit not only feeding and cleaning up but also holding and petting them. I am booking her again for my next trip this coming February.”


2. Sasha L.


“Sasha was great! We booked last minute and Sasha was quick to respond that she’d be able to let our dogs out. She came to meet our dogs before we left and learn where everything for them was. While we were gone Sasha updated us with pictures each time she came to visit and was very punctual with arrival times! Will be booking again! 🤍”

6. Amy D.

“Amy is wonderful pet sitter. She is very responsible and punctual. Amy asked a lot of details about my cat and how to care about him. It was very easy to communicate with her - she sent a report about each visit (with photos) and responded promptly and in detail. I recommend her as a pet sitter.”


7. Carmen T.
“What's not to love about Carmen!! She is one of the best humans I know along with the best dog momma . The love she has for her own dogs and other doggies including my dog is heart warming. She's shared her knowledge with me on dog health , tips on behavior and even dog biscuit recipes . She will treat your dog like her own and will be in the best care!”


8. Rachael C.
“Rachel is very kind, attentive and patient. I trust her whole heartedly with my fur babies which are my kids. I know that with her they will not only be appropriately cared for but also shown a ton of love and attention!”


9. Megan Z.
About: I grew up with my favorite dog and had him for 13 years and was my best friend. My passion is dogs and I love spending time with them. I currently work full time so I am available after 4 on weekdays and then available on weekends for animals to stay with me as needed. Multiple walks a day and all the snuggles possible. Feeding schedule based on the clients preference. Play time is important and will play as much as the cute pup wants!

“Great job. Thank you”


11. Kaylee M.
“Kaylee has been our dedicated in-home dog sitter for the past two years. Our 3 Pomeranians absolutely adore her! One of our dogs is 12 years old and has a medical condition that requires medication daily, and Kaylee has been diligent about making sure she has her daily meds and is comfortable. We have gone on several long trips, and I can't express how much stress it takes away to know my dogs are safe with Kaylee, and I know she treats them with the utmost love and care. She is the best and I will forever shout her praises for her outstanding pet care!”


12. Jolene S.
“Our Buddy loves going to Jody's place, whether it's for a day or several. It's a natural setting for the dogs to stay and play and Jody takes excellent care of our pet. Highly recommended!”


13. Ellie M.
“Ellie has worked with animals for over 10 years. They are receptive to her and show immediate trust. With her job skills from working at different zoos, she has worked with a variety of animals with their care, nutrition, exercise, and habitat. She would be an excellent addition to the field.”


14. Nicole & Matthew B.

“They had great communication!!!!”


15. Caitlyn B.
“I can’t say enough good things about Caitlyn! I work a lot and sometimes have very long workdays if I have to do a double shift. Caitlyn always makes sure that my three dogs are happy and content. I have three dogs, two German shepherds and a Great Pyrenees. They can be a lot for people to handle sometimes but Caitlyn has done fantastic! I’d highly recommend for anyone else who wants their own pets taken care of like family!!”

17. Gloria B.
“I’ve seen Gloria with Rico and she would be a perfect candidate for a pet sitter. She takes him to the park which he loves and also finds fellow dog lovers to come with so that Rico has a friend. He loves playing outside her apartment with all his toys and going on walks with her, even though his little legs don’t let him go very far. She has trained him on fetch and he loves it, he also loves playing tug of war with Gloria on the couch. She takes very good care of him and he’s a happy dog.”


18. Mallory H.
About: I have had so many different pets growing up. I have owned dogs, cats, hamsters, tarantulas, snakes, scorpions, and many different lizards. I personally believe in positive reinforcement when it comes to training animals and I have a special heart for senior animals. I will be home from Tuesday to Friday all day. I would do my daily exercise with the animals depending on the species. I am a very routined person and can follow strict and specific instructions. I have one cat at home who is friendly but can be kept away if animal doesn’t react well to others. Each animal will be taken very good care of depending on the instructions of the owner.


19. Maria K.
“Maria has a strong love for animals and years of experience with cats, dogs, guinea pigs and hamsters. Maria is kind, responsible, dependable and trustworthy. Her experience working at both a doggy daycare and volunteering at the Iowa City animal shelter for a year each solidified her skills. She also has solid experience house training both a kitten and puppy with excellent results. Maria can read the room, kennel, or cat tree and take excellent care of your pet. I wouldn't think twice about leaving my beloved pet with Maria. Have and will again!”


20. Daysi H.
About: I’ve had cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, and horses growing up. Having a wide range of animals growing up has helped me learn what a pet is wanting and needing. I’m currently a college student, my evening can be flexible as well as my weekends! Willing to work with owners to create a balance that works for me and your pets. I would prefer to have your pet in your home! I think that will be best for your pets safety and mine too. I’m willing to do what the owner is wanting for their pets comfortability.
