The Best Care For Your Best Friend
Hey there, I grew up on a rural farm in NW Iowa and have had so many animals throughout the years. I currently have 1 dog and two cats myself, one which is special needs, so I have no problem caring for a pet who needs a little extra care. I have worked at a vet for two years during school and worked with many different types of animals in/out of surgery, administered medications, and taken care of senior animals. I am also able to take care of your house (daily chores if you need) so that when you return everything is cleaned.

Safety, trust & environment
I will be sure that your pet has room to play and stretch! I am also very cautious of surroundings to ensure your pet will have a safe and comfortable environment.
Ratings and reviews
Sylvia won the trust of even our shyest with ease and our feeble old senior cat seemed not a bit stressed when we returned. It seemed like the pet areas were cleaner than we left them and all instructions were followed to a tee. The picture reports were fun and reassuring. 10 of 10.
Very professional Katara loved her Help make our family reunion in Ankeny IA a lot more fun. Thanks.
Sylvia has been so caring and compassionate toward our two pups. We can tell they are so excited when she comes to visit. She has always been great with communication and we love reading her notes after each walk!
Excellent service. Intelligent and trustworthy. Thank you!
Sylvia did a great job caring for my two cats! She was caring, responsible and proactive when things needed to be done. I highly recommend her!
Sylvia did a great job checking in on my puppy, Max! We met up the day before to show her around and go over everything she needed to know to take him on a walk, feed him, and play with him for a while while I was out. She asked great questions and provided updates while she was there! I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again in the future.
