Dog Sitting in Newton

“She was very accommodating and understanding of my new 2 month old puppy and she is really quick to respond to last minute requests! Will definitely continue to book with her!”

“This was our first time using Rover and Allison went above and beyond taking care of our two cats while we were out of town!! She sent us pictures and kept us updated every day. We will definitely book with her again in the future!”

About: My love of animals started from a young age. I grew up on a farm with a variety of pets, from dogs and cats to pigs and horses! I have fostered and boarded a variety of dog breeds and cats, and I currently have a dog and 4 kittens - so you can trust your pet will be in great hands! I am an active teacher, so I stay busy throughout the week, but I am off on holiday breaks and weekends, which is when I will be most available! I do also have afternoon and nighttime availability thought out the week on occasion. I provide personalized care for your pets by sticking to their routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs they have. I ensure their environment stays comfortable and safe while you’re away, offering companionship and attention to keep them happy and relaxed. Regular updates and photos will keep you informed, so you can rest easy knowing your pet is in great hands!

About: Spending time and interacting with animals has always been a passion of mine. Over the years I helped my grandma run her dog sitting service, taking the dogs for walks and cleaning up the kennels. I also enjoy being outside and taking my own dog for long walks and fun trips to the dog park. My dog is a family member and I intend on treating yours the same way. Your dog will have a great time exploring the city and playing with others at the dog park. I hope to someday have my own place where I can board dogs just like grandma did!!! I spend 90% of my time with dogs and we enjoy playing with other pups at the dog parks, we are traveling nomads and look forward to meeting you My dogs live in my van with me Both are crate trained. I feed my dogs twice a day. They enjoy laying around the house being lazy. Going to the dog park to play with others is always fun too!!! We also enjoy walking

“Mackenzie is super reliable and I trust them to give my dog the care she needs and be in my home while I’m at work! I love getting the videos and pictures that they send me”

“It was so nice to be able to take a day trip and come home in the evening to a calm, happy dog. Normally she’s anxious without me but Kelli took her on a nice walk and then sat on the deck with her which is my senior dog’s favorite activity. Uli was so relaxed when I got home that I know she had been well cared for. Thank you Kelli!”

About: I’ve owed many different types of dogs my whole life. Including a Black lab, Beagle, Newfoundland, Lhasa Apso and of course St. Bernard’s. Growing up I helped my neighbor train bird dogs, too. I am a personal trainer, so I have time in between my clients to spend time walking and entertaining your pups. Hey they need some exercise too. I love playing ball and tug, with my dog. He was originally crate trained but now sleeps wherever he wants, since he outgrew the crate. Since I have a Saint Bernard, I’m constantly changing his water, so it’s always fresh. They are the types of dogs that can be lazy so I’m consistently encouraging outside playtime and easy walks to keep him active.

About: I had dog when I was only 5 years old and always been taking care of dogs since I was growing up and now have my own baby, Porky and everyone always relies on me to watch their dogs and caring fir them while they are gone. I really love animals and dogs big time. I always let them outside whenever they feel like it and play roam around in backyard with fence :) I would go on dog walking and they give me excuses to work out too lol. They are my world. I would treat ur dogs as if they were my own. I am working a full time student at college but very flexible with hours. I can do after work for dog walking and even babysitting them too. My husband, he will definitely help me out if I need to when I m at school etc. Can always talk about needs and when etc. I do have a big backyard with fenced around. I have two dogs they will love to play with others. I would like to introduce them to your first before start let them play. I can always separate them if need to so they can take turns. I can give them bath, feed, take them out for walk, and even stay overnight if need. I would let you bring ur own dog foods for ur pets so that way it Is separate. I will always give them treats if being good. All you have to do is let me know what not to do or to do for them so I can be prepared.

“Amazing job. She treated our cats like her own pets and followed our feeding instructions exactly. Highly recommend!”

About: I have had multiple pets from mice to dogs so I'm well rounded in diverse care. I love to play with animals especially dogs theyre just amazing. Weekends, work days, holidays (if needed). I can house for multiple days. I only leave to get groceries or to take my dog to the park. Safe and loving. Will have a great play partner Sammy loves to play he would all day if he could, we go on walks, park trips, sometimes just a drive.

About: I have had dogs my entire life. That’s a long time! I assure you your dog would be in good hands! I will love them like they were mine! I stay home now so I’m available pretty much anytime. I’m willing to go to your home if it’s not to far away. Just ask I’m sure we can work something out. I have a fenced in yard. I have two friendly dogs. One has a crate and one doesn’t. They both sleep where they want. I crate one only sometimes.

About: I grew up in a home with pets and enjoy being able to include them in our home and give them love and attention while their owners are away. I work from home and am able to care for your pet weekdays except for Fridays and occasionally over the weekend schedule depending. I have a kennel available if needed. I have a fenced yard and a very flexible schedule to allow for lots of attention and play time. I also have several pet loving children who are gentle and enjoy loving on pets.

“I highly recommend Ali’s services. I was looking for a sitter who not only loves my cats as her own but understands subtle changes in their health during my vacation. One of my cats is over 12 years old so I needed a sitter with veterinary skills and knowledges. I am glad that I have chosen Ali for my cats and will ask her again for next vacations. Her services are beyond my expectations.”

“Great meet and greet with Yasmin. Definitely a dog lover and our trio of pooches loved getting to know her. Will definitely keep her at the top of our Rover list!”

About: Prices are negotiable. I understand when having multiple dogs it racks up to a lot. I am willing to work with you on prices. I’ve had a dog since I was 8 years old. My love for dogs is never ending. I have been taking care of other peoples dogs since I was 19. I’m available to stay with your dog. I am not available to bring your dog to my house. I believe dogs do best in their own environment with all their toys and their own area. I’m currently work full time for a daycare in Polk City. I work 10hr days Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. On the weekends I like to take my sister’s dog for a walk unless I am watching someone else dog I will take that dog on a walk if able to. Majority of the dogs I watch stay at home because they know that area better. Anxiety is very common in dogs that get boarded or are away from home.

About: Like Dom Toretto said, I don’t have pets.. I have family. Been around all kinds of pets since I was a kid, and having the chance to engage with YOUR pets now is a great opportunity Im ready to take. I work from home, so I’m home all the time to watch after your fur baby. Your dog will get daily walks, treats, and affection. I have a fenced in yard, 3 lovely fur babies, and I can guarantee you almost every single toy in pet smart, I own😂 Your pet will be in a smoke and drink free home, we do have birds but they are caged together in their room, and do not get let out. My house, will now be your pet’s new temporary house until whenever you decide to come back! Getting to spend time with your pet, and keep mine company, is a delightful idea.

About: I prefer to dog sit in my own home or offer drop in service as I have dogs of my own at home. I know how important it is to feel comfortable knowing your pet is well loved and cared for while you're away from home and to be able to have that peace of mind. My baby (4 y/o spayed female) gets along well with any size/breed of dog and would LOVE to make new friends! Let me help you put your mind at ease and love on your 4 legged friend or friends. I can't wait to meet your fur babies! 💞 I work from home so I am present all day, not usually gone for more than a couple hours in the evening if at all. At home, I am present all day for bathroom breaks and playtime (or sun naps) in the fenced backyard. I do not force my dog to stay off furniture or out of the bed but can easily crate your baby if needed/required. My dog is crate trained but free roams while I'm away unless I'm dog sitting where crating is needed. In your home, I'll do as asked. I prefer to spend some play time with them rather than just potty and leave where possible to make sure they are getting exercise and attention while you're away.

About: Little about me-I've taken care of pets since I was about 10 years old. The first dog I took care of was a male maultese mix, until he was about 10 years old when he developed lung cancer and we had to put him down. We then got another male maultese-poodle mix. I have also owned and taken care of a female black lab, female corgi mix, male pitbull, and a male German shepherd/Rottweiler/husky mix. I have raised and trained some puppies, including the German shepherd mix. I've taken care of birds, cats, bunnies/rabbit, and guinea pigs. On top of those experiences I've spent a lot of time with friend's pets, helping take care of them when they need it. I loved watching Ceasar Mellan growing up and I've used a lot of his methods to train my animals. I am an animal person, loving animals is my passion. I understand how much our pets mean to us and how important it is for them to be in a safe environment. I am available for pet care any day of the week so please don't hesitate to reach out whenever you want. Usually mornings and early afternoons are best, as i work 3 days a week evening shift. I live in West des moines. I live with my boyfriend, my three cats, and his cat. I knit, which my cats love to play with at the same time lol. I will cuddle with them and watch movies. Sometimes I take my cats with me to the beach or parks, they stay in the car but they like the little adventure.

“Sam communicated clearly and showed up (for a meet and greet) when she said she would, and best of all, my kind-of-high-strung dog was calm and happy with her here! He liked her and she liked him, and I’m excited for her to take care of him because I feel confident he’ll be in caring and competent hands!”

“I feel very fortunate to have found Lucia. She has taken care of my cat and recently my King Charles Caviler. She does everything she promises and the animals love her. I will continue to use Lucia and can highly recommend her!”
