Pet care experience

We treat your pets like family!

I've been taking care of pets of all kinds since I was a kid. I'm currently a foster parent for the Animal Rescue League of Iowa. I've fostered both cats (kittens) and dogs (puppies). I have a very large catio that cats can enjoy the fresh air and birds chirping. I've got a fenced in yard for dogs to get some exercise. I have my own pets that enjoy (and are used to having) other animals in the home. My dog, Rip, loves playing with other dogs and shares his bed and toys with any new comers. I'm also experienced in animals that don't get along. I have enough space to separate, if necessary, without the need to use a kennel or basement.

Jessica was great with Kitty. He got lots of love from her and we got video and photo updates every day. Will certainly book again!

Jessica was a wonderful with my Ollie! He had been nervous but she was able to help him get settled! She sent me notes and photos each day to help MY nerves! I would definitely return to her!

Safety, trust & environment

In my home - I have a very large catio that cats can enjoy the fresh air and birds chirping. I've got a fenced in yard for dogs to get some exercise. I have my own pets that enjoy (and are used to having) other animals in the home. My dog, Rip, loves playing with other dogs and shares his bed and toys with any new comers. I'm also experienced in animals that don't get along. I have enough space to separate, if necessary, without the need to use a kennel or basement.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day will start early. We get up, stretch, eat, and play outside for a little bit. On a weekday, I go to work for a couple hours and come home on my lunch hour. While I'm gone, I let pets stay where they're most comfortable (i.e. free roam on the couch, my bedroom, kennel). On a weekend we may go for a morning walk.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs

Unspayed females accepted, neutered males only

Let me know if you're dog has specific needs that I can account for. I do not have any breed restrictions at this time. If your dog prefers quiet, let me know that as well. I have special space for relaxation.
