Dog Walkers in Oxford, IA

About: Hello I’m Joy. I live in Oxford where I work remote for the University of Iowa. I have been passionate about pets my whole life! My family always had pets; dogs, cats, birds, etc while I was growing up. I am very outgoing, I love taking my dog Rosy to the parks and on walks. I want to see more happy more happy tails in the neighborhood! I’m looking forward to meeting your pup, and getting them out for much needed exercise or just some nice couch cuddles and scratches! I work remote from the University of Iowa, so I’m at your pets beck and call! Just my chihuahua mix, Rosy and I will take at least 2 walks a day. I am flexible to what your pet needs; lots of walks to lap time cuddles! My apartment has a generous front and backyard, as well as plenty of sidewalk paths for walks in every direction. I have crates if your pet finds kenneling comfortable, or many sizes of dog beds in most every corner.

About: I have two mini goldendoodles who are my life. I've had them for over 6 years and they bring so much joy to my life! They love to play with other dogs and I'm always spoiling them. I've watched other pups before, giving them walks, spoiling them rotten. I'm very punctual and care for every dog like they're my own! Currently don’t have a full time job so I have availability all day! If you need a full sitter, they are more than happy to come to my house and spend time with my pups. I'm free after 5PM and on the weekends! I don't have a fenced in backyard but I do have two pups who can keep your baby entertained and wear them out! I give the best cuddles and love as it kills me to leave my pups with someone else so I get it! I can facetime whenever you'd like if it's an overnight stay, whatever makes you feel comfortable! :)

About: I’ve been around and have cared for animals basically my whole life with growing up on a farm and offering my services to others over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to care for a variety of animals for others from the age of 9! Neighbors, friends, family, and others have relied on me to walk, play, feed, water, and bathe their pets. Over the years I have cared for pets of all ages and I adapt to each of their unique personalities easily. Caring for animals has always come easily to me as it brings me joy making sure your pets are happy and healthy while in my care! I’m currently working a full time job, but I have plenty of time to care for and play with your fur babies! I’m available for in home care seven days a week, with the understanding that I might not be there all day as I work Monday-Friday, 7am-3:30pm. I am also available for overnight care and am open to boarding pets depending on size as I am currently living in an apartment with two cats. Your pet is my top priority when in my care, I will always be sure to take the time to play with your pet and make sure all their needs are met and that they are happy. I’m respectful of all house rules and will follow all specific instructions on how to care for your pet. I send pictures, videos and updates throughout your pet’s stay/care with me so that you can see your fur baby and know they are staying happy and well-cared for while you are away!

About: I've had dogs for my whole life. Currently 5 dogs run our household along with my wife! I love animals and would love to help care for yours! I like dogs more then people most days! I run a lawncare business and looking to make some extra money during the slower winter months! I love pets and have a fairly open schedule during the winter. Im available to do drop in visits and walks. I live on an acre of property that we have 5 rescue dogs currently. They are spoiled animals and treated like they are our own kids.

About: I have had dogs and cats since I was born. My parents share the same love for animals as I do, and I think I love them more honestly! I’ve dealt with losing a pet, and adding new additions to the family. In my eyes no breed of dog or cat is superior and I would love to meet all the pets I can!! I work part-time so I will put the days I am available into the schedule! On my days off I would be more than happy to take your dogs for walks or do drop in visits with dogs and cats! I also marked all days as available because my hours can be funky and I can sometimes work only 4 hour shifts. I take my dogs for walks frequently. They are a bit stubborn sometimes (especially my olde english) but after we get walking they love being outside! The summer heat gets to them both though, so I would love to get outside!

About: I’ve had dogs since I was a child. We’ve had all the way from a tiny Maltese to a Siberian Husky! I don’t think I have a favorite breed, but I do favor my senior dog (14+ year old) beagle, Rose, a bit 😉 I work 3-12 hour shifts per week but I am free any time outside of that. Morning, evening, or night would be fine by me. I don’t plan on caring for pets on my home, as I currently rent. However, I will follow your wishes on how you would like me to care for your babies!

About: I've personally owned animals my entire life. I've raised 3 dogs in the past and currently own qthat absolutely love other animals and people! I also have 3 cats that are all extremely friendly and love new things. I currently work at an animal shelter working with dogs, cats, small mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians. I have experience with friendly animals, reactive animals, and shy animals. I'm very skilled at giving medications as I have to do it daily for my job. My schedule is very flexible and I'm also good in medical cases with animals. I don't have a degree in veterinary sciences, but work with strange cases daily and have a close connection with vet techs. I'm excited to open my heart to new animals! I currently work part time in the mornings and can stop in before my shift to do a check in, potty breaks, and feeding. Once I'm off in the afternoon, I can do more check-ins and walks. In the afternoons, I can stick around longer to spend more time with them. I have experience with positive reinforcement and am also okay with using dog crates if the need is there. I'm experienced with different types of harnesses and collars as well and have worked with dogs with many different allergies.

About: With over 20 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and even small pets like mice, rats, hamsters, and fish, I bring a lifetime of knowledge and passion to pet care. I’m a Certified Veterinary Technician (CVT) with 7 years of veterinary experience and 1 year working in a pet resort, so I’m skilled at safely handling pets of all temperaments — from nervous pups to the spiciest of cats (I have one of my own!). I’m also experienced with administering medications and providing calm, compassionate care to ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m currently not working, so my schedule is completely open. I have plenty of time to provide your pets with all the attention, care, and love they need. With my veterinary technician background, safety and trust are always my top priorities. While in your home, I provide a calm, secure environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I’m skilled in reading body language, handling nervous or fractious pets, and administering medications when needed. Every pet in my care is treated like family, with plenty of patience, compassion, and attention to their unique needs.

“Alexis has been quick to respond, very friendly and wants the best for your pet. We’ve had a good experience with her and know that we can trust her with our puppy! She does great at communicating when we ask about the day or need to tell her something that wasn’t previously discussed.”

“Amazing job! Our dog loved Maddie! She was so patient with her. Maddie arrived exactly on time and was really great to work with. I would use Maddie again in a heartbeat. I think our dog misses her already! She is her new friend!”

About: Hey, it’s lovely to meet you! I’m Skylynn! But my friends call me “Cielo” 🩵 or “Lo” for short 😉 From cuddly kittens to wise old pups, pets have been part of my world since I could walk! 👶 💞🐾 I’ve shared my life with dogs and cats through every stage. From zooming around the house puppies 🐶⚡️💨 to sweet seniors who just want a comfy nap buddy. 🛌 But my care goes far beyond food bowls and leashes! 📈 I tailor walks and playtime to match each pet’s energy⚡️, keep a close eye on special diets 🥬, and gently handle medications 💊 and supplements when needed. 🔎 I even handle brushing and nail trims 💇‍♀️💅✨ to help your furry little fur ball feel their best! I’m all about making pets feel safe, loved, and happy! 💓 Whether they’re shy, spunky, cuddly, or curious, I tune into their emotional needs: offering play, snuggles, and calm companionship that makes them feel right at home. 🏡 Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me for years because I treat every pet like family. Because to me, they are! 🥰 And the love doesn’t stop at cats and dogs! 💕 I’ve also grown up around horses 🐴 , cows 🐮 , and reptiles, giving me a well-rounded understanding of animals big, small, and scaly! 🦎 No matter who I’m caring for, I bring kindness, patience, and a whole lot of heart to every visit! 😌 (También hablo español :) ❤️🌎 Caring for furry little angels is my full time mission 🚀👩‍🔬 so I have all the time in the world 🌎 to give your pet the attention they deserve!

It never feels like “extra” work, just the best part of my day! 🐾💛 When your pet stays with me, they’re not just being watched. They’re being welcomed into my home 🤍🐾 I offer both in-home visits/stays and boarding/dog sitting at my home, depending on what works best for you! In my home, your pet becomes part of the crew. 🚢 I have two very friendly, well-socialized cats (you could be a robber and they’d still flop on their backs and ask for belly rubs all the same! 😂) and a playful (but very gentle and respectful!) Shiba Inu puppy who loves making new friends. 💞 I always take introductions slow and make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. 🛟 My neighborhood is super walkable and safe. I’m right down the street from the police station 👮‍♀️, the fire station 👩‍🚒, local middle school 👩‍🏫, local vet 👩‍⚕️, and there’s a huge park directly across the street from my home! 🌳🐕 That means lots of fun walks, fresh air, and enrichment time! (I’m all about protective safeguards and organization, so living in close proximity to aid and community enrichment was a must for me :) 🙌 I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine: feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications, cuddle preferences, crate time, you name it. ✅ Whether your dog is high-energy and loves long walks or prefers cozy couch naps, I adjust to their vibe. 🐶💛 If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’m very respectful of your space and routines. I make sure food and water are fresh, litter boxes and potty areas are clean, and your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and love. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you always know how they’re doing 📸✨ My goal is simple: I want you to leave feeling confident, and your pet to feel safe, happy, and genuinely cared for. 🤍

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: My experience includes behavior modification, rehabilitation and foster care. Since I was my daughters age I have been pet sitting and working with animals and would like to share the experience I work at home everyday but Thursday. We are available for dog walking and live close to a park trail and we are looking for a family interaction. Crate services, roaming and family integrated home. We are able to walk your animals and provide check ins. I know how animals are part of the family.

“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: Hi!!! My name is Kadyn and I’ve always had a genuine love for animals!! I feel the happiest when I’m caring for them:) I worked for two years at a local doggy daycare in waukee Iowa, where I gained lots of hands on experience supervising, playing with, taking care of, and ensuring safety of dogs of all sizes, ages and personalities. I have also been a dog sitter and walker for the past five years, building trusted relationships with both pets and their owners while providing dependable care, including administering medications and following detailed instructions to make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved!!!

I care for them as if they were my own and I do my very best to make them feel comfortable and loved whether they are in my home or the clients!

About: Besides growing up with my family dog, I have cared for, walked, and sat for multiple dogs from my sister, coworkers, other family, and friends. My days mostly revolve around my cats whther that is feeding them 2-3 times a day, letting them be outside in nice weather, bathing them, playing with them, and cleaning up after their litter every couple days. My cats are always on harnesses and leashes when outside. They also always have on their collar with an apple airtag attached to it that is connected to my phone with updates on their movement.

“Katie saved the day answering a super last minute walk request! She's so good with Beaux and brought him for such a great long walk- I couldn't believe how chill and tired he was when we got home! We'll definitely be requesting more Katie walks. Thank you!”

About: Animals have always stuck out to me. Dogs specifically have been a shoulder to cry on and a warm furry pillow to rest my head on and over the years I’ve learned so many things about them. I’ve always found companionship with any animal whether or not they’ve personally been mines or someone else’s. Dogs specifically have changed the way I treat other animals, people, and have given me a new perspective on life. I plan to have a very big family and it includes multiple kinds of dogs. I treat all animals with respect and love. I do not love anything the way that I love dogs. If you’re looking for a sitter with a great personality and a loving spirit for all four legged things- I’m your girl. I am currently a stay at home mom looking for lots to do! I have all the necessary tools to make sure your pet has a cozy stay! I have a spacious home and living area and my neighborhood has plenty of dog friendly activities. I have a 4 year old who is a friend to all and he will be sure to keep your dog company as well!
