Full-Time TLC for Your Pets
Seasoned dog owner offering full-time pet care you can trust 🐾 My passion for animals started early, spending summers volunteering at the Ames Animal Shelter as a young girl. Every opportunity to pet sit for family and friends had me thrilled to spend time with animals. I have 4 years of professional grooming experience, starting as a dog bather and later graduating from grooming school. I worked for a year at a vet hospital & resort, gaining hands-on experience in animal behavior, handling, health, and care. 🐶 Services I Offer: • Dog Walking • Drop In Visits • Pet Transportation • Doggy Daycare • Dog & Cat Boarding My home: 🏡 One story house in Ames ✅ Fully fenced backyard 📌 A mileage fee of $0.73/mile applies to bookings outside of Ames ✓ Extended stays and special requests welcome ✓ LGBTQ+ safe space 🌈 With over 15 years of dog care experience, I’m confident and comfortable with pups of all sizes. I’m experienced in administering oral medication and have cared for diabetic pets as well. In addition to dogs, I also care for cats, reptiles, fish, small animals, and exotics. I worked at a pet store for a year, caring for a variety of small animals and reptiles. Feel free to reach out with any questions!

Safety, trust & environment
I like to do a meet and greet before we book anything. It’s a great chance for your pets to get to know me, for us to go over how a typical day looks at your place, and to talk through anything I should be ready for—so I can make sure your pets get the best care possible. I’ll keep you updated with plenty of pictures and videos—and we can even FaceTime if you’d like! If there’s anything else I can do to make your time away from your pets easier, just let me know.

Libby is the best! We are so grateful for her! My animals just love her and she is the kindest most caring and reliable human! 💚
Libby did great with my dog Gordy, he was happy to come home but he still had fun while I was away.
Libby is a rockstar! We are so grateful for her wonderful care - she is family to us. 💚
Libby was a stellar pick for us! She was great with our Bernadoodle and really flexible as well when weather changed our travel plans. Highly recommend!
As always, Libby did a fantastic job! Great caregiver and communicator, highly recommend.
We love Libby! She is truly family to us. She is so caring, kind, and personable and my animals are always so content and happy in her presence. It is wild and so fun to see their faces completely light up whenever they see that they get to spend time with Libby!

Schedule
I provide pet care full-time, so your pet gets all of my love, attention, and care—day and night. I know how hard it can be to leave your furry family, which is why I go out of my way to make them feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. I’m available 24/7, and I send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing they’re in kind, capable hands.
