Beckett did an amazing job caring for 6 of my pets while I was away for a wedding. They kept me updated the entire time and took special care of a sick senior pet. I came home to happy, well cared for critters, which is the best way to end a trip! Would definitely book with them again and so grateful for the care and attention provided in my home.

Amanda took great care of our little old man, Oscar! We’re so grateful that she cleaned up after him and made sure he got his daily probiotic. We would absolutely recommend her for cat sitting.

About: Hi! I've been a dog dad for over 30 years and know how important your fur baby is to you. I have experience with all different breeds, ages and levels of health. My promise is to focus on your dog's happiness and comfort level during their entire stay; further, I will follow all nutrition/medication needs, potty/feeding/play time/walking schedules, and will truly ensure they're loved and cared for just like they were my own. I’d greatly appreciate the honor of welcoming them into my home. You will receive frequent updates as much as you like. I recently lost my dog of 17 years. Now live alone, and have a strict one-dog policy, so yours will receive the individualized 24/7 attention they deserve. I work full-time from home, same employer for 20 years. I am available all seven days/nights for whatever attention your dog needs or wants, and any potty schedule your dog is accustomed to. I require little to 0 notice for booking or cancellations, and able to travel when needed. My house is on a quiet culdesac with no through traffic. The back yard is secure and completely fenced, very enjoyable space for your dog to play in. Dogs are welcomed on all furniture. Home is smoke-free. I can also travel to the client's home for all necessary dog sitting/walking services.

How did I get so lucky to find a pet caregiver like Nadine. My 10-lb. Chinese Crested Terrier mix is diabetic and needed someone who had the comfortable skill of giving him his daily shots. Not only is Tiago pleased with my choice of his caregiver, but Dion, my Persian cat is thinking “purr-fect” for me too. Nadine enjoys her work - truly a pet lover and my pets know it. Tiago meets her at the door and Dion does to if he is up - needs his beauty sleep! Nadine is a ‘keeper’ and will be invited back time and time again in my home to care for my special pets.

Nathan was very reliable, sending photos of every visit and responding to our comments. Plus our pets (cat and dog) are old and need lots of cleaning up after. The house smelled fresh and clean when we got home. Finally, he just seemed to have the right temperament for both our pets. We will book him again.

Jillian has taken care of our two German Shepherds many times. They are difficult dogs, but I trust her to make sure they are safe - and others are safe - when she has them. She has attended some of our training classes also. When I said they were difficult, I really meant it. She is reliable and always has a smile.

About: I have had dogs in the home for 18 years. I have seven small dogs of my own - so only consider our home if your dog does well with other dogs. My pack loves to play and run around the fenced yard. The dogs are family. They have free roam of the house all the time. They are allowed on the furniture and sleep in bed at night. Your dog will be treated the same way in my home. I am home on weekends, so I'll be able to be with your pet full-time. Your pet won't be left alone except for a possible short errand. I have a fully fenced yard. Pets are treated as family in this home. They are allowed on furniture, and can sleep in bed, unless you have another preference. Dogs must be dog friendly.

I am a first time user of this ap and service. I chose Ashleigh based to do a drop in a couple of times a day for a couple days. Ashleigh stopped to meet our dog before the initial drop in started which really helped in easing some nervousness about using this service for the first time. Once the drop ins started Ashleigh was amazing in sending me updates and photos and letting me know how our dog was doing. It was comforting getting so many photos for every drop in and knowing everything was going well. I would recommend Ashleigh to anyone thinking about using this service. I will definitely request her services again. She was truly great!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was eight years old. I come from a ranch in Oklahoma and so I have experience with multiple different kinds of animals. I am very fond of all types of dogs including band types as in pitbull‘s and Rott Weilers and many more. I do not mind bathing pets and I love to walk outside even during the winter. If you have a strict schedule I can follow that too. I am a healthcare worker from the University of Iowa hospitals and clinics and I also work as a CNA through a local agency . So taking care of things is kind of second nature to me. Pet care would start by seeing if there is a schedule that the owner sets out for me to follow or I will follow basic care needs if the owner requested that I am willing to do it if supplies is provided I also love to take dogs on walks so I do not mind doing that also. I live in an apartment that has plenty of trails and walking areas near it. I am also willing to come to you to watch your dogs and to take care of them. I love all shapes and sizes. I am also open to taking care of things other than cats and dogs.
