“Kayla went above and beyond for our boy! She is super reliable and took such amazing care of Jax! Just to add how amazing she is, our garage code wasn’t working and she stayed over an hour locked out trying to figure out a solution to make sure she got to Jax while we were out of town!! A+ from us!”

“Nicole was my first time ever using a Rover and she made it comfortable and easy! She was great with my dog and had good communication with me before and during my time away. I felt at peace being away from my puppers knowing Nicole was taking good care of her.”

“Haley was great with our dog, Harley. Conscientious and very caring. She took him on several walks and gave him plenty of love. Helped out with packages delivered and mail, too.”

“Kate communicated well and often when house sitting with my 2 dogs. She seemed patient and empathetic with my elderly dog. The house looked great when we got home and while away I was happy to see pics texted to me of them going for walks, which they love!”

About: I provide attentive, loving care for both dogs and cats, making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and understood. I’m patient, dependable, and take the time to learn every pet’s routine, personality, and needs. I currently work full-time. I would be available to walk/feed/play during the weekdays after work for a couple of hours. I have more time on the weekends (Friday-Sunday) for feedings, walks, playtime, check-ins, overnight care, etc. to make sure pets get the time and care they need. I would be able to care for pets in your home. Safety and trust are my top priorities in every home. I follow all care instructions closely and take time to understand each pet’s routine, behavior, and comfort level. My goal is to make the pets feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while keeping pet parents informed with regular updates and photos.

“5 stars for Julia! She took incredible care of my cat and was super reliable. I came home to a happy pet and a clean house. She is professional, thoughtful, and left absolutely no mess. I highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and currently have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you truly trust with your pets. My background is in education, which means I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and very comfortable creating structure and routine — something dogs thrive on. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I’ve fostered puppies and supported hospice animals, giving me experience with dogs at every stage of life. From energetic puppies who need consistency and training reinforcement, to senior dogs who need a gentle pace and extra care, I’m comfortable adjusting to each dog’s unique personality and needs. I offer walks, drop-ins, and boarding, and I treat every pet like part of my family. Safety, communication, and compassion are my top priorities. You can expect regular updates, photos, and peace of mind while you’re away. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and boarding with advance notice. Evenings and weekends are especially flexible for me, making it easy to accommodate work schedules and weekend getaways. Beginning June 1, I will be located full-time in North Liberty, which will allow for even greater availability and flexibility for local clients. I do my best to be dependable and communicative, so if you reach out with dates in mind, I’ll always respond promptly. How I Care for Pets Whether pets are in my home or their own, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. Structure, safety, and affection are my top priorities. In My Home (Boarding/Daycare): Pets are treated like part of the family. I follow your feeding schedule, exercise routine, and any training expectations you have in place. Dogs receive regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m experienced with puppies who need consistency and supervision, as well as senior or hospice dogs who may need a slower pace, medication, or extra comfort. I maintain a calm, clean environment and always supervise interactions carefully. In Your Home (Drop-Ins/Walks): I respect your space and your pet’s established routine. I’ll ensure they’re fed, exercised, given fresh water, and provided enrichment and affection during each visit. I’m attentive to behavior changes and will communicate updates clearly, including photos and notes so you have peace of mind while you’re away. Because of my background in education, I’m patient, observant, and very comfortable reinforcing training, boundaries, and routines. I understand that every dog is different, and I adjust my care to match their personality, age, and energy level. My goal is always the same: your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for — and you feel completely confident while you’re away.
“Kristine was amazing! She sent multiple pictures and videos throughout our trip so we could see that our furball was having a great time and left the house spotless. Will definitely be using her services again in the future!”

“Mika is a reactive dog around strangers, and this was her very first time staying alone without me — so it wasn’t an easy situation. The first few hours were tough, but Sky, with so much patience, love, and sensitivity, managed to earn Mika’s trust and affection on the very first day. It was truly amazing. 🤩 On top of that, Sky gave me so much peace of mind by sending frequent updates and photos of Mika, which really helped ease my anxiety. ADEMÁS que habla español, mi idioma nativo, así que no pude estar más cómoda en nuestra comunicación. Sky —a name that couldn’t be more fitting— is a kind, respectful, communicative, and very responsible young woman. I would trust her with Mika again a thousand times over. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Sky! 💖”

About: What sets me apart is real, lifelong experience—not just sitting. I rescued my own dog when he was a puppy and have been hands-on with him for 4.5 years. Through these years I've conducted my own training successfully, gone through medical emergencies, dealt with injuries, and have gained a lot of experience in doing so. I grew up caring for animals of all types: dogs, cats, snakes, birds, and a few wonderfully odd creatures. I’m calm, attentive, and deeply respectful of every animal’s needs. With me, pets aren’t just watched—they’re understood, safe, and genuinely cared for. I also completed Nero's Law training in 2025, which taught me canine CPR and basic life support for working and/or aggressive and non-working/non-aggressive dogs. I recently left the government and am traveling full-time around the country with my dog Murphy, so my schedule is extremely flexible. I will be available any time and date for the foreseeable future. If I'm in your area for a while, please reach out! I will be living and traveling in a van full-time, which makes it very easy for me to pay full attention to your pets needs when I'm in your home. I'm extremely respectful, clean, and understand needs such as crating, giving medications, doing basic training, and any other requirements your pup may have.
About: I provide reliable, loving care that keeps pets safe, happy, and healthy. As a dog parent to three dogs, I understand the daily needs, routines, and personalities of pets of all kinds. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, high-energy breeds, and pets with special needs, including administering medications, leash training, potty training, and extra cuddles for anxious or shy dogs. I’ve cared for multiple pets in one household and follow owner routines closely to ensure comfort and consistency. Every dog in my care receives daily walks, playtime, mental stimulation, and plenty of belly rubs—so owners can relax knowing their furry friends are happy, safe, and loved. Caring for pets is a natural part of my daily life. With three dogs at home and experience with cats, I’m used to regular feeding, walks, playtime, and giving medications to our youngest pup. I’m available throughout the week for walks, visits, or overnight stays, and I make sure every pet gets consistent attention, exercise, and affection so they feel happy and secure while their owners are away. I care for pets with the same attention and love I give my own three dogs and rescued cats. I maintain a clean, organized environment, whether I’m in my home or a client’s, and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I provide daily walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddles, and I’m experienced with grooming, including baths, nail trims, and haircuts. Every pet in my care receives attentive, structured care so owners can relax knowing their furry friends are well cared for.”
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.
About: I grew up with a fur baby, pet sitting and walking for my neighbors, and helped train my parents two new mini bernedoodles! 🐾 Pets have always had a special place in my heart and I love to show them love! I am a nurse that works three days a week, mostly consisting of nights and weekends! This allows me to have lots of availability during weekdays as well as some weekends! :) When caring for your pets, my priority is their safety, comfort, and happiness! I will follow your instructions carefully; such as feeding/walk schedules, medication needs, and favorite toys or activities! Please share anything special you would like me to know your pet and their typical routine 🤍🦮🐩
