Pet Care with Training Experience

Pet care experience

I've known dog and cat care was my passion from a very young age. From volunteering at my local vet clinic in middle school to managing Ames Pet Resort, and now I'm also a certified dog trainer. I have over 10 years of experience in companion animal care. These experiences give me the opportunity to work and bond with a huge variety of cats and dogs with varying temperaments and personalities. I love all dogs and cats of all sizes and ages. It is very important to me to form a bond with every animal that I interact with. I have grown up with multiple dogs and cats inside my home and now currently live with my three cats, Cayde, Komet, and Princess, and my dogs, Otto and Raya, in Kelley. I graduated in animal ecology from Iowa State in 2019. In January 2021, I attended Dog Training School at Highland Canine School for Dog Trainers and am now a certified dog trainer for companion dog obedience and behavior modification.

Jalyn was super with the communication and reliability. She made sure to report on how our older cat was eating, which was a concern of mine. I really appreciated having that information each day. Would absolutely hire Jalyn again!

Jalyn was amazing! She sent multiple pics of all three of my cats every visit, which is a necessity for me! She came around the same time every visit so it was super nice to have that routine down, too. She also provided clear and descriptive updates about food, water, and how the cats were acting. Would definitely recommend! Very punctual, friendly, and descriptive. I will definitely be booking with Jalyn in the future :).

I have a big yard with plenty of room for potty breaks and sniffs. Your dog will always be on a leash in the yard, as it is not yet fenced. While I prefer dogs to be crated when alone and at night in my home, your dog will be allowed free roam while I'm gone if you wish as long as they are respectful of house rules: inside is not a bathroom & chewing is for toys only. :) All pets are allowed on any furniture. Guest pets are fed separately from my own.
