“She has a special touch for sure. Our cat has a fear of strangers however, I received photos of Morgan brushing our shy kitty. Morgan was the perfect person to care for our pets.”
“Austin went above and beyond caring for our kitties, including a senior cat needing some medications. He was great at communicating, asking clarifying questions, and following up with any observations. Would recommend him to anyone needing a trustworthy sitter for your pets!”
“Nejra was so sweet and responsive and trustworthy. She came over before my trip to meet me and Roxy and made sure to tell me when she arrived at my apartment and send me lots of pictures of Roxy!! I’m so glad that my kitty had such a caring person come over to take care of her. Would definitely book again.”
“Wow! All I can say is that Briana was amazing! She was so communicative and provided me with so many updates and photos of my very very happy cat! If you are looking for a pet sitter, I highly recommend her. I know I will be booking her for future trips!”
“Alisa was a wonderful sitter for our two cats while we were away for 10 days. She came by every day and made sure our cats were fed and cared for and even watered a couple of our plants for us. We had zero issues while we were gone and it gave us real peace of mind knowing everything was in good hands. Our cat Lucy is usually very shy and hides from strangers, but she actually stayed out for Alisa! We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and kind sitter.”
“Celia did an amazing job caring for our horses and cats while we were out of town. She was also able to give some oral medications. Dependable, caring, and skilled with animals.”
“Jaron did a great job taking care of our kitties while we were away. He showed up on time and provided great updates for what he saw of them and how they were doing. They are not too fond of other people but our most shy cat even came out to greet him both times! Jaron was also able to stop by and meet our cats before hand to make sure everything went smoothly. I will definitely be using Jaron again for my next vacation!”
“Sara has been such a blessing to our family! Not only is she great with cats, she was a great communicator while we are gone and made leaving our cat- baby so much easier! She sends pictures at every visit, and is very detail-oriented. We felt very comfortable having Sara in our home and will definitely be using her again! Highly-recommend.”
“Katie is AMAZING! We have a disabled cat, a senior cat and an easily spooked cat and she handled them all with such care and love! We have complex routines with each cat and she did it all beautifully! She is very accommodating and patient with working around schedules. She took lots of pictures and wrote detailed descriptions after each night of dropping in. I am 100% a returning client for her services. Book her, you will not regret it!”
“Kendra was absolutely perfect! We had her check on our cat while we were gone for a week. Kendra sent daily photos, as well as an update on her food, water, and demeanor that day! She even watered my plants for me! Highly recommend, and we'll definitely use her again in the future!”
About: I am an experienced intensive care unit veterinarian assistant. I have grown up having dogs my whole life, including 2 Huskies, 4 Great Pyrenees, a Rottweiler, and a German Shepard. I have over 1.5 years of experience working in the Small Animal ICU at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and 1 year at Iowa State University's Large Animal Hospital, as well as volunteering at various barns/kennels/shelters. I am very confident in administering medications to older fur babies and being vigilant for any potential emergencies. You can rest at ease knowing I am watching your pet! At home, I have a backyard completely fenced in with a kiddie pool for the dogs and plenty of space to run! I have two Great Pyrenees of my own, so we are always going outside for playtime in the backyard and walks around the neighborhood with plenty of familiar furry friends to visit along the way! I have been working with animals in the professional field since I was 14 and have had pets my entire life. I grew up with cats, but no longer have them as two big dogs are plenty for me, but I still love and care for them! I love animals so much and will treat your pets like my own while you are away!
About: Aside from dogs, I have also taken care of birds, hamsters, and lizards! As a dog owner myself, I know the importance of making sure your companions get the best care and love while you are away ❤️ I am currently working part-time and have plenty of time and love to share with your pet companions! My daily schedule allows for one visit each morning, afternoon, and evening on weekdays and Saturdays. I am moving in August and will later be available in Dubuque. My dogs have toys to play with at home and I will make sure yours do too! Walks and playtime are important, and I will care for your companions as if they were my own!
About: I have had dogs for about 30 years. Dogs are not just pets, they are the love of a child's, man or woman's life. The way a dog greets you warms the heart and I melt whenever I get a puppy kiss. I myself have a sweet fur baby and he is spoiled rotten! Wait???? Can they actually be too spoiled???!! Hmm.... NOPE! You precious family member will be treated with love, kindness and more fun than they can imagine while you are away on vacation, work trip or just visiting friends for a long weekend. I look forward to meeting your fur babies and giving them love and kisses while you are away. Thanks for considering me for this role. I make my own pets part of my daily activities and routine. They are my little fur babies and they get all the love and attention they need right along with my family. We are strict leash outside family. Our pets are goomed regularly, played with each day and fed top of the line organic foods. Nothing is spared.
