Pet Sitting in Plato

“I can't say enough good things about Madison! She took incredible care of my dogs, stopping by twice a day to let them out and making sure they were happy and comfortable. It gave me such peace of mind knowing they were in such capable and caring hands while I was busy at work . She was reliable, professional, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. If you're looking for someone to care for your pets like they're her own, I highly recommend her!”

About: I have had dogs since for my entire life, so I have cared for all ages of dogs from puppies to seniors. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, spending time cuddling with senior dogs, and playing with puppies! I am currently a full time student at the University of Iowa in Iowa City. I have a few hours during the weekdays for potty breaks and feeding, and I am available on the weekends. I am willing to pet sit overnight in your home on weeknights, as well as weekends. My apartment is not pet-friendly, so I am not allowed to bring your pets to me, but I will drive to your home to care for your pets there. I will ensure to keep your pets safe, active, and content while you are away.

“Amazing, she did a wonderful job and Doodle loved her!”

“Gillian has watched my cats multiple times this year and I couldn’t recommend her enough. She’s always lets me know when she’s planning on being there and she takes the best pictures. All of my cats have medical issues and she’s always ready to get them their medicine when they need it. I used to be so anxious leaving my cats for any period of time but when they have Gillian all the anxiety has gone away, especially since I can tell she loves my boys as if they were her own.”

“Very glad to have found Macy and Luke to help me out, happy to have people who care about my dog!”

About: I grew up my whole life with dogs, I trained them as I got older, and even participated in dog shows for 4-H in middle/high school. I've cared for and watched my family's and friends' pets for years and have always loved to get to know each furry friend I meet! I am a college student and have class from 9-3 most days. I'll be able to return in the afternoon to visit your furry friend and stay the rest of the night! On weekends I'll be openly available! I can take pets for walks, let them outside, I am able to crate if needed, and have a history of giving medications. Let me know what you need, and I will make sure your dog is loved and cared for!

“Camryn has always been an amazing person to work with. We had a mishap with our schedule and she was extremely flexible. We are lucky to have Camryn take care of our little cat.”

About: Hi! My name is Madison, and I’m an experienced and dependable pet lover with a lifelong passion for caring for animals. I currently have one cat of my own, but I grew up with both big and small dogs, as well as indoor and outdoor cats—so I’m very comfortable around pets of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. While I now work as a server and bartender, I’ve always made time for animals. During college, I volunteered regularly at the local animal shelter, where I walked a wide variety of dogs. That experience taught me a lot about leash and harness handling, and gave me the skills to confidently care for dogs with different energy levels and personalities. Whether you’re looking for someone to walk your pup, check in on your cat, or just give your pets some extra love while you’re away, I’m here to help. I treat every animal like my own and take pride in providing safe, attentive, and reliable care. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family! Currently I work part time, which does give me more time to help out with your babies! My only “guaranteed” times off are Tuesday afternoons and Sundays, which is when I could be available for recurring bookings. Otherwise, I get my schedule for the next week on Friday afternoons, which means I can book one-times about a week out. Every pet in my care is treated like family - with kindness, attention, and genuine love. Whether I’m on a walk or watching them at home, I follow their routines closely and make sure they feel safe, happy, and understood. I’m big on cuddles, playtime, and keeping their environment clean and calm. I pay attention to each pet’s personality and needs, always making sure they’re comfortable and cared for like they’re my own.

“Sarah did a wonderful job keeping my kitty happy while I was out of town. She sent pictures during each check-in, and followed my instructions carefully!”

About: I have been the go-to neighborhood dog sitter ever since I was in junior high. Now I live in Iowa City with my husband and field retriever, Oakley, and am ready to continue opening my home to your pets! I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, personalities, and energy levels. I work from home, so I am here all day for your pet. My typical routine with Oakley includes a lunch time walk and a post work hike at Hickory Hill. I’d love to bring your pup along for these adventures but can also cater to your pups individual needs/preferences and adjust as needed! We have a fenced in yard as well for the pups to run around in. I work full time from home, so I am able to attend to your dog throughout the day as needed. I typically play fetch or tug or something or the sort with my pup in the morning, take her for a walk ~1 mi walk over lunch, and for a 1-2 hour hike after work. I can adjust the level of activity as needed to match what you’re looking for! I have a fenced in yard (standard chain link so not suited for high jumpers) and an active pup for your dog to play with! I am comfortable crating your dog or leaving free roaming, whatever is your preference and your routine!

About: I have dog sat for everyone I know. I am the first person someone asks to dog sit. I provide lots of care, attention, and play for dogs. I enjoy walking and spending time with as many dogs as possible! My summer is very open! I have free time almost all of the time! I am studying for my boards that I will be taking soon this summer! I have a park and woods near my house that dogs seem to absolutely love! I live alone with no animals so all attention and focus will be on the doggie!

About: I have owned many dogs in my life time. I can deal with dogs who don’t do well on a leash as well as senior dogs. I am located in Iowa City I am starting a new job in the beginning of July so in the meantime I’m free every day for drop in visits or boarding. Once my job starts I will only be free Friday-Sunday I live in a safe apartment complex with a pad lock on the front door so your pet will be safe. Experience with many types of dogs.

About: I have dog sat all types of dogs biggest being a Great Dane and the smallest a Chihuahua. I am very open to dog sitting any dog! I am currently working full time at the college of dentistry but I get off work at 5 everyday and have weekends and holidays off. I live in an apartment so I wouldn’t be able to board your dogs but I am very respectful of someone’s home and will take great care of your dogs.

“Sonja was super helpful when we were in a pinch and took good care of our pup! We would gladly use her again and recommend her to others”

About: I'm a 9th-year teacher and mom to a sweet 5-year-old daughter who’s never met an animal she didn’t instantly adore. For the past 10 years, I’ve fostered dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens—so I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m home all summer and love spending my time running, walking, exploring parks, and being outside—especially when animals are involved! Whether it’s a midday walk, overnight care, or just some extra love and attention while you’re away, I’ll make sure your pets feel right at home. My goal is to give them the same level of love and care that I give to my own furry family members. Let’s chat about how I can help care for your pets while you're away or at work! I am currently home for the summer so my daughter and I enjoy spending time taking dogs for walks, playing at the park, or just hanging out inside on days that are too hot or rainy. I have a large yard behind my house to run and play. I have fostered animals for years so I am experienced in kenneling animals, if preferred or I have lots of space to run around inside as well.

“Katlin was great as always. She responds quickly and keeps us posted on how our cats are doing. We will definitely use her again in the future!”

“Lindsey is great! She’s super reliable and responsible, and our pups really like her. I always rest easy when we are away, knowing the pets will be well taken care of.”
