“Kaity did a great job as our housesitter and pet sitter. She sent frequent pictures of our animals and played with our dog. Our shy cat even came out of hiding for her!

“Samantha was such an amazing dog/house sitter! She kept us updated and sent daily pictures. She communicated with us and super respectful. Our dogs are super needy and she handle them so well. We appreciate her so much and will definitely consider her again!!”
About: Kyara- I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life—and caring for them has always been second nature to me. My passion for their well-being runs deep, and over the years, I’ve had the privilege of owning and supporting animals with a wide range of health conditions and special needs. Whether it’s routine care or an unexpected emergency, I approach every situation with calm, confidence, and compassion. Vet visits and urgent calls don’t shake me—they motivate me to show up fully for the animals that depend on me. Jon- I’ve been an animal and true dog lover my entire life. I’ve loved training all the dogs I’ve ever owned and have now worked with our GSPs for bird training. We may have 3 dogs of our own, but any and all dogs fit right in here with them! They are respectful of others who don’t want to play, yet playful with those who do and they will match their energy 🐶 Currently I am working from home as our business’ social media manager and working towards my real estate license, so my availability is very flexible. We have two German Shorthaired Pointers and one Mini Aussie/Corgi mix, a large fenced yard, and a park down the road. If you’d like us to take them on our adventures (ie hikes, lakes, etc), we can also discuss that!
About: Growing up on a farm in Iowa, with both my parents being vets, I easily became a huge animal lover! I started dog sitting/farm sitting/house sitting at 13 years old, so I have many years of experience and knowledge with many animals. I have a 1 year old Australian cattle dog/Anatolian shepherd that is so sweet and loves all other pups. We can cater your pets at our home or we can travel to where your pets feel most at home! I work a full time job but am able to come home during my lunch hour! My usual hours are 7:45a-4p. I’m available to take a lunch from 12-1p. Dog park is a few steps away for your fur baby to run around. My couch and/or bed is always open for naps/lounging around too!
About: I've owned dogs, cats all my life. I grew up on a little farm with sheep, pigs, chickens and horses I did 4H and FFA. Available for walking, sitting training and drop ins. All I do is walk dogs. I can take your dog to the dog park if you want. Dogs get a treats when they do tricks, puppy push ups or sometimes just for going potty. We like to watch TV 8n the evenings.
