“Brandon did great with our dogs while we were away and we got lots of pictures and great communication! They enjoyed his company and got along great with him.”

The dogs got lots of walks, the cats got plenty of love, and she kept us in the loop with tons of photo updates. We came home to happy pets and a clean house—what more could you ask for?”

It’s so great knowing when you are away that someone is loving on your fur babies as much as you do. We already plan on booking Phoebe for our next trip!”

About: I have my associates degree in Veterinary Technology! I previously have worked at dog/cat boarding facilities, and vet clinics. I have had dogs, cats, & goats throughout my life! I currently have my dog living with me here in Cedar Rapids, & 2 cats back in Indiana living with my parents. I am comfortable with any size dog & weight. I am also comfortable with medications if necessary! I am currently unemployed so I have all the time in the day or night for whatever your pet needs! I am very comfortable with whatever your pet needs whether it’s constant attention & playing for 2 hours, or even the ones who prefer to have their own space & only need check ins. Whatever your pet needs I am happy to provide! My dog is spoiled to the max & I ensure your pet will receive the same treatment! I am down for just opening a door to let them out in their backyard or walks around their neighborhood!
“Highly recommend!! Jeanette was booked to babysit 4 dogs while we went to a wedding. She was very kind and caring toward all the dogs. She kept in touch with pictures throughout the night and I never had to worry that everything was ok, which I appreciated. Thanks, Jeanette!!!”
“Ashleigh treated our dog very well and we loved all the videos and pictures she sent! It helped ease our minds to know she was taking good care of our pet. She was very responsive to any messages and left our house clean and tidy.”
“Savannah was very communicative and flexible with our last minute needs and house full of pets! It was our first time leaving our house to someone who wasn’t a family member and we didn’t have a worry or doubt at all.”
“Excellent care & great communication & very professional!”
“I was so thankful Samuel was open to watching our little puppy! He watched my elderly dog Darla previously, and he was so patient with her as she was taking a lot of meds and needed TLC. He gave the same TLC to our new puppy, Olav. He's a handful and is learning his manners in classes/practice. Samuel took him outside to play and run off that energy often, and he was a happy little guy when we got home. Will definitely book again. Samuel is awesome! :-)”
“Ashleigh was very accommodating to a last minute booking! Even went as far to pick up and drop off my dog from my house! And sent pictures and updates. Highly recommend!”
“Oriana was an awesome house setter. She took very good care of our two dogs. They went on many walks and had a lot of playtime. Oriana sent several pictures which was so nice. I have full confidence in her love and compassion for animals, and I will obsoletely be one of her many repeat customers.”
“DeMira did a wonderful job managing our pets and caring for our home! She stayed overnight and took care of our big dog - who has significant anxiety when we leave - and our two cats, who absolutely hate each other and have to be separated with locked doors. I feel like our pets are so complicated and she handled them with ease. And our dog was SO happy when we got home - it was clear he'd found a new best friend! I highly recommend DeMira.”
“Kaylyn did a fantastic job with my dog! Definitely recommend her for anyone needing a sitter to care for their furry friend”
“Mia did an OUTSTANDING job caring for our dog and two cats. She sent us daily updates w photos of walks, playtime, and even did a photo shoot with our dog! She did a home stay for 4 nights and our house was impeccable when we returned. To say I would hire her again is an understatement. We’re convinced our pup misses her and we wish we could hire her indefinitely. If you pass on having her watch your pets you are missing out, if I could give ten stars, I would ❤️❤️❤️”
“Landon was absolutely wonderful with my girls! He took great care of them, and spent a lot of time interacting with and loving up on them. Landon checked in often with pictures and communication. He left the house neat and tidy. I would highly recommend him to take great care of your pets and your home while you are away.”
About: I have owned pets my whole life. My two Bernese Mountain Dogs both recently passed and I would love to care for your pets as I get over their loss. I work 7:30-4:30 in Hiawatha Monday-Friday with a 1 hour lunch for letting the dog out at noon, all my other time is available before and after work. I am not currently offering in-home pet care. Will update if this changes in the future. No pricing has been provided for this particular service.
