Pet care experience
From a young age I have had experience with all breeds of dogs and cats. From Pugs, Pitties, and Shar Pei’s to Persians, Siamese, and Tabby’s, our love and commitment to our pets can’t be determined by their breed. I was always the neighborhood kid who was asked to take care of everyone’s pets while they were away on vacations. The money was always a plus, but the act of helping someone and getting to love and care for their pets in the meantime was the real win! I am well versed in potty training, walking dogs, feedings, play time, bathing, and giving medication. Currently, I have two Black Lab mixes myself, named Ava and Rozzi. Ava is more on the timid side. Rozzi is more on the rambunctious side. However, they are both sweet as can be and can’t go long without one another. They are both accustomed to being around dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and also children and adults. While I have never worked in a professional pet care setting, I can promise you that your pet will never go without care and love while in my supervision!
Reviews
Billy was great with our troublesome girls. He sent lots of pictures and kept us updated throughout his visit. We would definitely hire him again.
Couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Made me feel comfortable knowing she was cared for and got updates every day.
Can you say fabulous experience? I can! Billy is amazing. I went on a trip with my boyfriend to Arizona and had to leave my pup for the first time. I was really worried being so far away from him for a week but Roland had the most amazing time with Billy. He got all the attention, puppy loves, toys to play with, and overall experience this dog mom needed to make her feel good to be away. A few months later I had a list minute family event that I needed to have Roland to be watched again and this time my boyfriend's dog Ellie. Thankfully Billy was available again and able to watch them both! This was a shorter day trip, but when we got back, the pups were so happy and exhausted from all the play that day! I can say I would have Billy watch my fur baby(s) anytime as I know Roland & Ellie were in good hands and we can do what we need to do worry free! Thank you Billy!!
Billy is always so gentle and caring when he watches my pets! My pets are my life and wouldn’t trust anyone else to watch them!

At home, I have a large fenced in backyard with two friendly and playful Black Lab mixes (who are fully updated with their vaccinations and preventatives) who would love to keep your dog(s) busy. I have a large crate if your dog needs to be kenneled under any circumstance (under your guidance). There is large sectional in the living room where 75% is claimed by the dogs even though they only used about 30%, so there is plenty of room for relaxing and snuggles if your dog likes extra loving. We have extra dog beds for at night, which we typically lay in the floor of the master bedroom for bedtime. If your dog prefers to sleep in the bed with someone, we have two guest bedrooms we would use for that (our dog/house sitter uses the guest room because she prefers to sleep with our dogs). We have extra dog bowls for water inside and out, and for feeding times. We also have extra collars and leashes if you would like us to take your dog on daily walks!
Information Billy S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know ahead of time if your pet has any special needs or behavioral concerns so that I can make sure to accommodate them as best as I can!
A typical day
We have a large fenced in backyard where the dogs love to run and play fetch. The town we live in also has a few really amazing park options where we take our dogs for walks to get rid of some pent up energy!

Availability
Since I moved back to Iowa from Nebraska back in April in support of my partners promotion, I have been unemployed as we have been working towards getting our short term rental business up and running successfully. This means, I have all the time in the world to take care of your pets and give them the attention they need.
