“Sadie is great with my dog (who is also Sadie)! Sadie the Dog is excited to see her every time she comes over. I appreciate Sadie's flexibility and willingness to accommodate my schedule. She's always on time and responds promptly. She's great!”

About: I am very patient and understanding! I love being around animals, I have two labs, a German short hair and twin boys that are 2 years old! I am currently staying home with them which allows me this opportunity. I have grown up my entire life with atleast one dog in the house hold! I am a combat disabled veteran, I served in the marine corps for 8 years, and having dogs around actually helps me with my PTSD! I think your dogs will love it here, and you will also love the way your animals will be treated, respected and loved as our own! Please don’t hesitate to send me a message and we can work anything out! Thank you for your time and consideration!

Dont have time during the day to taking your energy filled dogs on a walk? I can walk your dog 15 mins to an hour, I work around what your dog needs. if your dog decides to jump in the mud on our walk, I can also bath them so they are nice and clean when you get home. Your little pug needs medication during the day while your gone? no problem I can help. you have a family emergency and need to fly out of state out last min, I can house dogs at my house or I can come check on your cats, dogs, hamster, etc. I have had rabbits, a ton of hamsters, 1 reptile, a pig, cats, dogs and have done a lot of work around horses.

About: Hello, my name is Kelsey. My husband's name is Manny and together we have a doggy daycare and boarding facility as well as offering various drop in's/walks, house-sitting, etc. We're located outside of Forest City on an acreage. So, a little about me; I've been working with animals my entire life. I grew up attending the local 4H program which taught me various skills with all types of animals! From bathing horses and cattle, to performing the Heimlich maneuver on dogs and cats. I'm trained in CPR (animal and human). I've delivered cattle, puppies, and kittens, I can administer medications, and IVs, surgery aftercare, and repair minor wounds. I've done volunteer work with various agencies in the North Iowa area including all the local animal shelters, Harmony Ranch of Clear Lake (a non-profit organization servicing local clientele with equestrian therapies), and have personally made trips to both Oklahoma and Texas to rescue dogs from kill shelters. I've owned, fostered, studied, and trained dogs, cats, and horses of all sizes and breeds, from newborn to senior, from happy-go-lucky to scared and aggressive. We have 18 acres of land here that we've spent a lot of time and love cleaning up to create kind of a puppy (and human) paradise. We've carved out several walking paths both wooded and non, and about 10 of those acres are pasture where we take pups out on 40 & 50-foot leashes so they have lots of freedom while maintaining an extra level of safety. We also have shallow ponds for those pups who do like to dip their toes but can certainly avoid them for those who don't care for the water and we try to go for as many walks as possible with the pups while they're in our care. We have individual, cage-free, doggy suites inside our home if needed but we really try to stick to a more normal at-home environment where the dogs are out and about, with us, allowed on the furniture, have access to our big "toy boxes", and have freedom. Our entire downstairs family room is a puppy playroom with lots of toys, where they can all play together and we're in the process of turning our attached (heated and cooled) garage into another puppy playroom! We provide several daily walks, applicable socialization, and stimulating entertainment for your fur baby. Our goal is to keep every pet active with appropriate exercise, and mentally stimulating games/activities. Medications: We administer medications and medical treatments regularly. Just let us know what your needs are and we're happy to accommodate! My husband and I are both self-employed, remotely (work from home), which gives us the opportunity to be available almost 24/7. I make sure to update our calendar on Rover, regularly. While I do have dogs and a cat inside my house, they are all kept separate until we're able to give them slow, proper introductions. They're kept separate until they become familiar with one another, and there is immediate and direct supervision. Although your fur-baby may do alright without a leash at home, we leash every dog, every time we go outside, without exception. We have a play area, which is fenced in, but they're kept on a leash until secured within the fence. We have a security system, 24/7 fire, and carbon monoxide monitoring, along with security cameras in place to ensure all of our clients are kept safe at all times.

“Holly has been my dog sitter for 14 plus years. She is funny and really loves on my Mary. She exercises her, trains, and let's her sleep in her bed. Mary has storm anxiety and Holly stays up to console her. You won't regret it.”

“Natasha was amazing with my pup. He totally enjoyed his walk and I appreciated her kindness and patience with him.”

“Danielle is absolutely the best with animals and does amazing with them! She would be absolutely perfect for this job and have never seen a person more caring for all animals!”

About: I’ve loved and owned pets of all kinds since childhood. Dogs, cats, and birds just to name a few! I’m available Monday through Friday for reliable care! I’m available Monday through Friday, morning to evening. I’m not available on weekends. I’m available to house sit on weekdays as well. Overnights can be available too. I don’t do home boarding but will be happy to follow protocol in your home for pet safety. I’ll always use a leash on dogs for walks.

About: For the past 10 years, I have been the trusted friend/family member to help out when pets can't travel with their humans. The pets I've looked after the most have included miniature daschunds (my family has had 4!), labradors and indoor cats. My time can be spent with these animals was spent making sure they were properly fed and had water, outside time and play time. Professional pet care fits into my every day routine. My schedule will reflect availability with accuracy to ensure customers are able to schedule to fit their needs. I take great care to make sure instructions for caring for pets are followed. I want to make sure pets are safe and happy while without their humans.

“Kara was wonderful with our German Shepherd Chief! Chief was always excited to see her and loved the walks. Kara even took Chief on some new routes which I'm sure Chief loved. Looking forward to future walks!”

About: I've taken care of dogs my whole life. I have two of my own who are my whole world. I volunteer at my local shelter and work for one. I've assisted in emergency situations and have all basic pet health knowledge. I work part time but I take alot of joy in being outside and meeting new dogs so dog walking will always be my first love. I can pet sit in your own home, and walk your animals in your own neighborhood. I follow diet restrictions to the letter, and I prioritize the animals safety at all times. ✍️
