Pet care experience

Tailored Care for Every Paw 🐾

I have dog-sat for many friends and family members, and I also worked at a boarding and daycare facility in Iowa, where I loved caring for and spending time with the dogs. I’ve also interned at two veterinary clinics, where I gained experience caring for dogs and helping with their medical needs. These experiences have taught me how to care for dogs with different personalities and needs, and I truly enjoy getting to know each dog I care for.

Safety, trust & environment

I am comfortable handling a wide range of cat and dog temperaments. Working at a boarding and daycare facility gave me experience working with dogs who are shy or timid, as well as dogs who may be reactive or aggressive around other animals, and more.

Ellaine responded very quickly and was able to come on short notice. She was great to work with in making a longer care plan for my kitty and I’m excited to have her come back! Thank you!

Lainey is a great pet sitter. She has watched my Bichon/Shih Tzu mix several times over the years with love and care. She communicated with me often with pictures every day. I would highly recommend Lainey as a pet sitter to sit for any length of time.

Ellaine has been an absolute gem of a cat sitter! She's always on time, incredibly attentive, and goes above and beyond to make sure my cat feels safe and loved. It’s clear she treats every pet like her own, with genuine care and affection. I always feel at ease knowing my cat is in such good hands. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!
