Caring Pet Sitting in my Home

Pet care experience

Caring dog sitter - I have over 20 years of pet sitting experience and would love to take care of your pets while you are away!!! I live in Urbandale, have a fenced in backyard and live close to many walking and bike trails. I can watch your pets in my home or come take care of them in your home. I can take your pets on a walk for you, give their daily medication to them for you, feed them and provide waste clean-up! If there is anything else you would like, just ask! I have 2 small dogs of my own that are very friendly - love to be around others. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover since I was 5 years old, so over 35 years!!!! Dogs are a very important part of my life and we have 2 miniature schnauzers of our own. Our schnauzers are part of our family and my children love them and take them to the park on their own. We wouldn't have a home without a dog again!! Meet my pets 2 miniature schnauzers About my yard Our backyard is fenced in, pretty open play area for dogs to run around 75ft. x 75ft. My experience training and administering medication I am comfortable training your dogs as well as administering medication. We had a schnauzer that required insulin shots twice a day a few years ago. I also have experience with allergy shots.

Heidi was great with Willow! Willow has some anxiety with new people and Heidi's experience with dogs really helped. Willow settled pretty quickly and made a new friend! We look forward to using Heidi again.

Heidi and her family lovingly took care of Norman while we went to the Iowa State Fair with the family. They pulled out a little pool for him to romp in and gave him all the attention a black Lab puppy could ever want. Very kind they even gave him a new "gentle leader" collar when they noticed his was getting tight. Highly recommend this caring family for your pet.

Heidi & her family treated my dog Jackson like family! Just like we do. She sent me pictures daily. He was snuggling & cuddling with her kids. He was best friends with one of her dogs!! I couldn’t have left him in a better environment! He was “loved up” so much, I don’t think he missed me! We’all definitely use Heidi again!! Thanks so much!!❤️?
