Pet Sitting Parkside Resident

“Natalie looked after my 9 month old kitten while I was overseas for 2 weeks, so I was naturally worried since I was away for so long. However she provided great updates and pics and was responsive. Was able to get along well with my cat even though he is naturally shy. Even bought litter since I forgot to restock until it was too late!”

Ben B.

“Helped out during a family emergency. Very responsive and followed directions perfectly. I highly recommend her for drop in care!”

About: Eric and Rachel share a love for their beloved Aussie-beagle Lilo and fostering rescue dogs together. We know that it is never easy to leave your beloved dog with someone new, and in a new place. As our own Lilo has struggled with separation anxiety before, we know how important it is to have a pet sitter who is present, patient, and able to cater their care towards a dog’s specific needs. Rachel has taken care of 6 different family dogs growing up, including a border collie, golden retriever, Boston terrier, 2 mixed breeds and a silky terrier. Eric has taken care of his family dog (chihuahua mix) since birth till now (11 years old). Together, we have fostered 16 rescue dogs these past two years, ranging from a high energy Great Pyrenees to 3 Border Collie puppies all at once, to a completely afraid and anxious Beagle mama and Shiba Inu mama that are recovering from very difficult situations. We have also looked after American pit bulls, a large Newfoundland, and senior doggies who have hip difficulties and special diets. Our own dog is a 3.5 year old Aussie-beagle, so we particularly love the herding dogs. :) We both have lots of experience working with dogs of all kinds of temperaments and needs, especially high energy dogs who require a lot of attention and care, and administering medication to dogs who have special needs. Rachel also loves cooking her home cooked meals for her dog, and can do that for yours too, if you need! We both work from home and have all weekends free. Our flexible schedules together allows us to bring dogs regularly on walks and to look after them consistently. We follow instructions really well, and can take care of your dog according to your requirements. We allow dogs to roam and sleep freely in our home, but we can also crate your dog easily if you prefer. We know how to work with your dog with lots of gentle care and love.

“Karly is awesome! She was super communicative, reliable, and conscientious while taking care of my cat, which was comforting since this was my first time leaving my recently adopted fur baby. I’l definitely be reaching out to Karly when I need to travel again!”

“My pups loved Beatrice during her drop-in visits throughout the week! She provided great pictures of both of them which let me knew that my dogs were well taken care of while I was busy at work. Thank you so much! I will definitely book her again for other dates! :)”

Emily P.

“Eleyna took great care of my dog, Luna, while I was away. She was very communicative and kept me updated throughout, which gave me a peace of mind. She was attentive, easy to work with, and made sure to understand all the details about Luna’s routine and needs so she could take the best possible care of her. I really appreciated how thoughtful and reliable she was, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and responsible pet sitter.”

About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I was a child, primarily Labs. I walk for exercise and would love to have your dog along. I’m a travel RN not on contract so my schedule is wide open. I drive to Madison daily to workout so I can easily exercise your pets at your convenience. I only offer walking services at the moment. I will ensure that your pet is safe from traffic and other animals. I will treat them as my own.

“Jen was so fantastic with our two kitties. They seemed really happy and we will definitely have her back! Thanks for making our trip so carefree”

Laura M.

About: I have always loved animals. I was the kid that would bring stray animals home asking my parents if I could keep them. I have always had dogs in my family homes. I graduated from Iowa State University with an Animal Science degree in May of 2016. I have dog sat for other families in the Waterloo/Cedar Falls area. I honestly love dog sitting and I have even taken care of some turtles and tortoises. I don’t really think of pet sitting as a job, but rather an opportunity to provide a safe and loving environment for your family pets while you are on vacation or if you have other obligations. I know how difficult it is to find someone who cares for your animals as you do, and I would truly love to be that person.

“Dustin took great care of our two cats! He was very responsive and professional and followed our directions. Our very shy cat even came out to greet him so clearly he knows what he’s doing! We will definitely book again!!”

The updates and photos were so thoughtful and made me feel connected even from afar. Thank you for keeping everything clean and making ssure they were happy and comfortable. I’ll definitely reach out again next time I need help. You were amazing!”
