Dog Walkers in Mount Vernon, IA

“Brooke was amazing with my special needs dog! He doesn’t have full control of his bowels and bladder, and Brooke was kind enough to clean up his accidents and change his diaper. I felt so comfortable with her walking, feeding, and taking care of him. Brooke was also very responsive and easy to communicate with. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to walk my fur baby! Will definitely contact her again in the future.”

“Great communication and updates on how each walks goes with my dog! I really appreciate their dedication to giving a great experience and the care of my dog!”

“Sam has watched my dog Charlie and my cat Gladdy on multiple occasions. I’ve gone on vacation four times ranging from two days to four days. He came over to my house every morning to let Charlie outside and take him for a walk. Afterwards, he stayed almost the whole day playing with Charlie and petting Gladdy. Sam is my go-to person when I need someone to watch my cat and dog.”

“We have used Nikki many time to watch our pets when we are on vacation! The animals all love her and she spends great quality time with them! She even took care of our cat right after surgery and kept us up to date on how she was doing. She always leaves our home clean and we never have to worry when we are gone!”

About: I have always had pets, but at this point in time, we are unable to have any pets of our own. Because of that, we would love to take care of yours when needed! I have experience with cats, dogs, and turtles - both in my own home and at others' homes. I have a young son (1.5 year old) who adores pets of all shapes and sizes, as well as a baby girl (4 months). I have a part time job, but I am home pretty much 24/7. I am able to accommodate your pet's needs when it comes to outside time (walks, playing, etc.), feeding schedule, and quality time. Pets in our home are a part of our family - they will be the center of our attention! We do not have a fenced in yard, so they would need to be leashed for bathroom breaks. There are several nearby parks we would love to take them to stretch their legs.

“Very dependable!!! Punctual!! Volunteer Fire fighter experienced! Very good in communication. Made through below zero weather days while we were gone with no issue!!! Very satisfied!!!”

“Mia has a little dog named Louie that she absolutely loves and adores-and every time she is around new dogs she wants to pet them, snuggle them, take pictures, just love on them. She is very responsible and kind to all and would be a great dog walker. Plus she loves nature and being outdoors.”

“Paxtyn took care of our dog while we were out of town for the day and was great. She replied immediately to texts and took the time to come and meet him before her first visit. She has a great connection with dogs. We really appreciated the photos and updates from her visits and he had a fantastic time with her - loved his long walks and playing games. We will definitely be booking with Paxtyn again.”

About: I’ve taken care of all ranges of pets, including exotic, for almost 5 years! I’m comfortable will all types of pets! I also have a veterinarian aunt so I always have one on speed dial! I am in school full time but it is online right now so I am free all day! I can visit your pet anytime, but I’d prefer not before 5:30 A.M. unless I spend the night in your home! I love to engage pets in play and comfort, however some just like to be left alone. I love to learn their personalities and cater my best for them!

“Sidney is just simply the best when it comes to caring for animals. After years of helping us with several dogs, all of whom have different temperaments and activity levels, our family can't think of a better person to recommend. She is courteous, clean, punctual and followed all the directions left for her for each individual pet. We felt completely at ease leaving our dogs with her for extended trips knowing they would get all the love and cuddles from Sidney. A bonus was she sent us pictures and videos during our trip, as our kids were missing their fur babies. Sidney was so responsible and made sure everything was taken care of. We will continue to use Sidney for our pet sitting needs and love the confidence she displayed while caring for our animals.”

“Trisha is a person who truly enjoys caring for animals. She loves her own pets very much and would easily adapt to other pet’s needs. I would highly recommend her for pet sitting as she has a proven history providing great and loyal care to a variety of animals. She’s patient, kind and responsible.”

“Emma has a true love of animals which helps make her a wonderful pet sitter. She’s owned a bearded dragon, a gecko and currently has two goldendoodles. She is loving, gentle, dependable, respectful and responsible. She provides a fun and loving environment for her animals.”

“Becca is a phenomenal caregiver known for her above-and-beyond approach to pet care. Not only is she incredibly responsible, but her genuine love and affection for animals leave a lasting positive impression on both her furry clients and their owners. I wholeheartedly recommend Becca to anyone in need of a trustworthy and loving pet caregiver.”

About: I have a range of experiences caring for puppies, dogs, cats, fish, and even turtles. I am also a sitter and caregiver on Trusted House sitters, where I've had experiences caring for pets in lots of environments. I love animals and since I don't have any of my own at the moment, I especially love the time I get to spending pet sitting. All my work these days is done remotely and is currently only part-time, so I can be available for drop-ins and walks at almost any time of day. I am very insistent on following the owner's instructions to the best of my ability and like to familiarize myself with any other details of the pet sit before meeting the pets. I want to be able to take any precautions that the owner would normally.

“My dog is 3 years old, but enjoys her walks. Ana takes great care of Gretel.”

“Anne has cared for our dog, and was exceptional. She is very knowledgeable when it comes to all breeds of dogs, and has helped me train mine. Anne also has a heart of gold and treated our dog with all the love and attention.”

“She has taken care of our pets over the years, and we have been beyond appreciative of her care. When she walks through the door our pets greet her with such joy and excitement. This is reassuring to see that she shows them lots of love while they are in her care.”

“Brittany is a responsible person; she is always on time! She had a dog growing up and currently has a dog of her own that she cares for and loves! I would recommend Brittany to care for you fur babies, whether it is an overnight stay or simply needing a few weeks during the week.”

About: Our family has had pets (cats, dogs, horses) for our entire lives together. Pets are family to me and I will care for yours like they are my own. Due to my schedule I am only available to care for pets on weekends- Friday afternoons to Sunday afternoons. Other days might be considered on a case by case basis. Unfortunately I will have to care for your pets in your neighborhood or in your home.......our own dogs do not mix well with "strangers".......but I am happy to take care of yours in their own home environment.

“Maria is a conscientious and thoughtful person who will take good care of your beloved pets. I trust her completely to give my cats all the care and snuggles they need!”
