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: 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.

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.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all kinds since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from energetic puppies to senior pets needing extra care. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or overnight stays, I ensure every pet is loved and well cared for! I currently work part-time, and am a student. I am free on weekends which gives me plenty of time to care for your pets! I’m available for pet sitting on weekends and can provide walks and check-ins on weekdays after 5PM. As summer ramps up I will have even more availability. I’ll work with your schedule to ensure your pet gets the best care possible! Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I provide a secure and loving environment where they can feel comfortable and stress-free.

About: I love all animals! My retirement dream is to spend my days with dogs and cats. I decided why wait! I have cared for dogs and cats for over 30 years. I have always had my own pets, but I have also cared for friends, family, and neighbor's pets over the years as well. During the week and the school year I work with children. There is nothing I love more than coming home from a busy day and spending time with animals. During the day I have time over lunch for dog walks or pet care. After school hours, weekends, and summers are free to spend time with pets. In my home I have a lot of area for pets to roam and lounge around. I have a fenced yard and I enjoy walking the trails around my house with dogs. In your home I will follow your expectations for your pet. I will talk to them, play with them, and give them lots of love.

About: Grew up on a farm and have loved animals ever since I can remember.Enjoy being around them and taking care of them. For the most part there has always been a dog & or cat in my household. Very patient so I think that comes in handy with all the different personalities that pets have. Being reliable is super important to me so if i say I'm going to do something or be there at a certain time its true 99% of the time. Currently have a cat and its hard for me to imagine not being around him every single day. If you let me take care of your pets they will be in great hands!! Work for my self mostly so I can set my own hours. An early riser, who wants to accomplish something new every single day. Plan my schedule out 2 weeks in advance I don't take care of pets in my home because I rent my place out for airbnb. Enjoy going to new places to see new pets

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats since I was young. I am the biggest animal lover in my family so I am always the go-to for anyone that needs help. I have given diabetes shots and know a lot about healthcare in animals. I also love making homemade treats! I am a college student with no job so I have plenty of free time in between classes and completely free on the weekend to spend as much time as needed with your pets! My pets are always top priority so when caring for your pets, they would be my top priority as well. I like to stay active and explore trails in the area so I would provide a diversity of areas when walking as well.
