Fantastic work. Anna took care of our two cats for a week while we were gone on vacation. She stayed in communication, took good pictures and handled all the random cat chaos without any problems. I could not be happier with her work. Highly recommend.

Patricia was absolutely wonderful with our three cats! She was willing to come do a meet-and-greet so our oldest was more comfortable, and she made sure our cats got plenty of attention while we were out of town. Will definitely be booking in the future!

About: I’ve had dogs for 7 years and regularly care for my parents’ and sister’s dogs. You can count on me to keep your home tidy, stick to your pet’s routine, and provide regular updates—because peace of mind is just as important as excellent care. I am a teacher, so during the school year I will be available weeknights and any time on weekends. During holiday breaks I’ll have more availability! When caring for a client’s pet in their home, I prioritize maintaining the pet’s normal routine to minimize stress and ensure comfort. I follow all instructions carefully regarding feeding, litter box cleaning, medications, and playtime. I take the time to bond with each pet, offering affection and attention on their terms—whether that’s active play or quiet companionship. I also respect the client’s space, keeping things tidy and secure, and I provide regular updates with photos and notes so they know their pet is safe and happy. My goal is to make both the pet and the owner feel completely at ease while they’re apart.

Angela was very flexible with us and was able to visit with Misty twice a day while we visited family out of state for a weekend. She made sure to get Misty her medicine, checked her water and litter, and gave her lots of love. She always gave updates and cute pictures. We appreciated working with her!

About: Growing up I had small dogs (dachshunds), currently I have two big pups. Copper, our German shepherd is somewhat reactive/anxious/strong dog, so I have experience with that personality. But I also have experience with the hyper/still learning not to jump/wants to kiss everyone golden retriever. I truly love all dog breeds. I work and live in Pella. I typically go into work at 8am and my hour lunch break is flexible, and then I am off at 4:30pm. I usually spend 25ish mins on my lunch break letting my own pups out and tending to their needs, so I would be available to care for your pet before or after that if I am needed in the afternoon. Our cat is an indoor kitty that roams around as he wishes. We have a fenced in backyard for our dogs and I also take them for a walk every evening. They get fed in the morning and after work (and of course treats). We groom them ourselves. They are always on schedule for every routine vet visit and we get their teeth cleaned. Brush them routinely as well.

I highly recommend Ali’s services. I was looking for a sitter who not only loves my cats as her own but understands subtle changes in their health during my vacation. One of my cats is over 12 years old so I needed a sitter with veterinary skills and knowledges. I am glad that I have chosen Ali for my cats and will ask her again for next vacations. Her services are beyond my expectations.

About: Hi there! My name is Kathlena, and I’m an animal lover with a big heart and plenty of experience caring for pets of all kinds. I’ve grown up around dogs and cats and understand how much they mean to their families. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or keeping up with routines, I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m responsible, dependable, and treat every animal like my own. I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and follow any special instructions so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in great hands. If you’re looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter or walker, I’d love to help make your pet’s day a little brighter! 🐾 I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be home most of the day, which is perfect for caring for pets. This means I can give frequent potty breaks, walks, and playtime while keeping pets company and sticking closely to their normal routine. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for any pet. I carefully monitor all pets to ensure they are safe, comfortable, and following their normal routines. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all provided instructions, maintain consistent communication, and ensure the home remains exactly as I found it. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs and make sure they always feel secure and cared for in their familiar environment.

About: I understand that hiring a pet sitter is a matter of trust. That's why I offer more than just a service—I offer peace of mind. As a longtime pet owner, I've navigated every pet-related situation imaginable, and my experience gives me a calm and capable approach to handling unexpected issues. When you leave your pets with me, you can relax, knowing their well-being is my top priority and that I will care for them with the same love, respect, and meticulous attention to detail I provide my own pets. My flexible schedule allows me to be highly adaptable to your needs. If your work hours change, you need a last-minute sitter, or your pet requires special timing for meals and walks, I can accommodate it. I am able to provide reliable and consistent care during all hours of the day, ensuring your pet's routine is never disrupted. My personal pets are my family, and I provide them with nothing but the best. You can rest assured that your pet will be treated with the same boundless love and attention that I give to my own "fur babies."

About: I grew up with animals and as an adult i have had cats and dogs my whole life. I have also enjoyed caring for friends and family pets when needed. I have volunteered at the ARL and received some training. I have an open schedule with lots of flexibility that allows for plenty of time to take care of or hang out with my furrbabies. I prefer to keep dogs leashed when a fence is not available. My cat stays indoors. I treat my pets as my children. For outdoor cats, it depends on the owner. I have seen GPS used to keep track of their location outside.

Allison checked in on our kitty while we were away. She did exactly what we needed and then some. I appreciate her bringing in packages without being asked and took extra care to clean up after our kitty. We will definitely be contacting Allison again for any future pet needs.

Anna was AMAZING! We booked her for a week long trip VERY last minute for two daily visits for three animals. We've never needed a sitter before and I was worried how our fur babies would do but we came home to happy, healthy pets. She sent multiple pictures every visit and laid all our worries to rest by the first day! We will definitely be booking with Anna again! We recommend her to anyone needing a sitter!
