About: Hi! My name is Crystal. I'm conveniently located in Monticello, Iowa. Halfway between Cedar Rapids and Dubuque. I've been around animals my whole life, especially dogs and cats. I am experienced with a quite a variety of pets. Growing up, my parents had plenty of pets. Fish, dogs, cats, mice, rabbits, turtles, birds, guinea pigs, hamsters and even snakes! Currently my family has 2 rescued cats, Tanner and Alex. I am fun, reliable, trustworthy and detail oriented. I will provide your loved one(s) with the best care and lovings while looking after them. Pets are indeed a persons best friend! Because I work from home, my hours are very flexible. This also allows me to provide a bunch of attention for your pets and repeat help when needed. Communication is key for trust. No fensed in yard? I can easily leash your pet when needed. Your pets safety and environment is my #1 priority!

“Sierra was amazing! We came to her in a rushed panic when our original dog sitter had backed out 12 hours before we were going away for a week. Sierra was super accommodating and picked up our dog and dropped her back off so when we arrived at home, our dog would be waiting for us. She sent us photos and recaps every day! Our dog Netty had a smile in every photo lol! We will DEFINITELY use her again!!”


“Angie was an amazing dog sitter for us!! She watched our dog, Rosie, and my brother in law’s dog, Kenobi, in our home when we were on vacation for 4 days. Angie came to our house prior to the sit for a proper meet and greet with the pups. It was clear how experienced she is around pets and the pups loved her immediately. Our dog Rosie is on a special diet which was no issue when we were away. Angie kept great communication and gave us daily updates with pictures of the dogs. I would highly recommend Angie!!”


About: I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember and have cared for pets my whole life. Growing up, my family always had both dogs and cats, and today I share my home with three wonderful dogs — a black lab, a yellow lab, and a Bernese Mountain Dog/Poodle mix — plus an affectionate orange cat. Living with multiple pets has taught me how to handle all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’m comfortable with daily routines like feeding, walking, brushing, litter box care, and giving medication if needed. More importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. Whether your pets want playtime, snuggles, or just a calm presence, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. 🐶🐱❤️ ⭐ What Sets Me Apart • Lifelong experience caring for both dogs and cats • Comfortable with all breeds and sizes — from tiny kittens to giant breeds • Flexible scheduling for evenings, weekends, and overnight stays • Personalized care — I pay attention to your pet’s unique routine and personality • Trustworthy & reliable — I’ll treat your pets and home with the same respect I give my own 💰 My Services & Pricing Overnight Stay (in your home) – $40/night • Includes feeding, walks/playtime, companionship, and a safe overnight stay. Evening Visit (after work) – $20/visit • Includes feeding, playtime, litter box cleaning, or a walk. Multi-Day Stay Packages: • 2–3 nights: $35/night per pet (10% discount) • 4+ nights: $32/night per pet (20% discount) • Perfect for vacations or extended trips — your pets get consistent care and routine. Extras / Add-Ons: • Wash & Brush Grooming – $40 per pet ⏰ My Schedule I work early mornings, starting around 5:30 AM, and I’m usually finished by early to mid-afternoon (between 11:00 - 2:00 PM sometimes). That means I’m available for evening visits, overnight stays, and weekends. This schedule works really well for pets who need: • Evening walks, feedings, or playtime • Overnight care with dinner, bedtime routine, and morning breakfast before I leave for work • Weekend visits or extended stays when you’re traveling If your pets need attention outside my working hours, I’m happy to discuss options and make sure their routine is covered. 🛡️ Safety, Trust & Environment Your pets’ safety and well-being are my top priorities. I provide care in your home, which keeps them in a familiar environment and reduces stress. I am reliable, responsible, and attentive, following any instructions you provide regarding feeding, medications, routines, and special needs. Because I do not host pets at my home, you can rest assured that your pets stay comfortable and secure in their own space, surrounded by the smells, sounds, and comfort they know. I treat every home with respect, and your pet’s happiness and safety are always my main focus.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. I have experience with small dogs all the way to Bernese mountain dogs. Currently I have a mixed breed named Arlo that is full of energy. We love to go on walks and adventure everyday. Your dog will not be bored and will be loved like they are my own. Currently working full time with the ability to work from home if needed. I only live 3 blocks from where I work so coming home is no issue. I am a early riser so my dog gets plenty of exercise in the mornings to wear him out while we are gone. I would be able to watch your animal any day of the week. I have a nice size backyard that isn’t fenced in (my dog doesn’t need) but have a chain in case your animal needs it. I have a very nice crate if they prefer to lay or sleep in one. I am mostly outside in the mornings and at night so your pup will always be moving or can lay around and relax if that’s what they prefer.

“Angela did such an amazing job with my 3 dogs. 2 bulldogs and a year old Great Dane is a lot to handle and she handled it with ease. My dogs were so chill and calm when I got home from my 7 day vacation. That tells me they were completely comfortable and well taken care of.”


“JeNeal was very accommodating last minute to watch our pups while we were away. She took great care of our pups and made sure everything in the house was in order when she stopped by-including our refrigerator ice maker issue leaving a mess in our kitchen! She is very easy going and we will definitely use her again for our next getaway!!”

About: I’ve had a dog ever since I was a little girl, up until he passed away at 14, so I’ve learned a lot about dogs. I’ve also helped plenty of my friends with their dogs, especially my close relatives and their three Aussies in the past three years. I’ve helped with potty training them, as well as feeding, watering, walking, playing ball with them. I’ve also helped with two litters of puppies! I do not have a job currently so I have much free time to spend with dogs and cats! I like to volunteer on Wednesdays and occasionally have dance that night too, and Sundays I have church in the morning, so I’m very free. I am very adaptable, and willing to work with all sorts of dogs to make sure they’re happy and safe!
