Dog Walkers in Nichols, IA

“Auden has given walks to our dog, Mochi, over the last six months. She was a lifesaver after I had a baby in January and it was harder for me to have the time to walk Mochi, especially in the cold weather. Mochi especially loved going on walks in Hickory Hill Park with her. Thank you, Auden!”

About: I have been around pets pretty much my whole life. I grew up with the dog name snoophy. When I came to college I started volunteering at the animal shelter where I volunteered with cats and dogs and helped foster cats and kittens. I help friends and medical school classmates watch their dogs and cats and just love being around animals in general! I am currently a full time medical student. I can be flexible but am more open on weekends. Love going on walks and playing with pets! I enjoy spending time with pets whether it’s playing with them, going on walks, or having their companionship around. Willing to just stop by or spend time.

“Our Teddy loves his time with Isabelle! He comes back ready for a nap! Isabelle is patient and kind. We couldn’t ask for anything more for our new rescue, as he works on training.”

About: I have always had a dog growing up and for the last 5 years I have always had 2. I was always asked to dog sit for neighbors, friends, and even my family. I also dog trained 2 dogs that went on to get multiple trophies. I am currently at home for the summer until I head to UNI in the fall. I have a part time job but always have time for my dogs and possibly others! At my place, I have a big yard space to walk them around and plenty of space for them to play inside. I would want to check on any rules when go to a clients place to make sure I am not doing anything wrong for the dog or owners

About: Grew up with all kinds of animals. Tons of experience babysitting animals for family, friends, and neighbors. Open to care for any pet any size/age! I’m currently working part time over night so I’m usually always available and have always had a passion working with all types of animals any age/size! I provide a safe space for your pet in a pet free and smoke free home. With years of experience there hasn’t been an animal I couldn’t handle!

About: I have always had a pet to take care of my whole life. I have a nursing background, so am comfortable with giving any medications as needed. I can bathe, feed and walk your pet as desired. I currently work part time but would be available to watch your pet on the weekends or make stops in to let them out or walk them throughout the day on days that I do not work. I have 2 dogs of my own and they are both very social and well trained dogs. I have a fenced in yard with two dogs who are well trained and socialized. I have the best of both worlds with an older (14 year old) dog who prefers to relax next to his owners and another dog (8 years old) who has energy for days! You can bet that I will care for your pet as if it were my own.

“Fawn has been amazing!”

About: I began providing pet care at 13 years old, starting with friends and family before expanding through social media to serve a wide range of clients. My experience includes dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, medication administration, enrichment, and personalized care. What began as a passion has grown into a trusted, professional pet care service. For more about my background, visit me at Jet Set Pet Care. Animal care is intentionally built into my daily and weekly routine to ensure consistency and reliability for every client. I structure my schedule around morning, midday, and evening care windows to accommodate feeding times, walks, litter maintenance, and enrichment visits. I limit bookings to maintain quality and punctuality, allowing me to provide attentive, unrushed care. Weekly planning includes route organization, client communication, and follow-ups to ensure each pet’s needs are met. Pet care is not a side task for me — it is a priority and a structured part of my routine. I tailor my care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and the specific service requested. In a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal schedule to reduce stress — including feeding, fresh water, walks, litter box cleaning, medication if needed, enrichment, and plenty of affection. I closely monitor behavior, appetite, and overall well-being and provide detailed updates with photos.

“Sidney was fantastic with my dog. Super easy to communicate with and has been very flexible. Recommend without hesitation!”
