Angie did a great job taking care of my two kitties they were both relaxed, healthy, and happy when I returned. I highly recommend her... she spent a good amount of time each visit not only feeding and cleaning up but also holding and petting them. I am booking her again for my next trip this coming February.

It was so nice to be able to take a day trip and come home in the evening to a calm, happy dog. Normally she’s anxious without me but Kelli took her on a nice walk and then sat on the deck with her which is my senior dog’s favorite activity. Uli was so relaxed when I got home that I know she had been well cared for. Thank you Kelli!

About: Hi, I’m Ireland! Growing up with dogs, I have years of firsthand experience in caring for them, from feeding and grooming to basic training, and being CPR & FIRST AID Certified making me the perfect fit for any medical emergency that might occur. My passion for animals extends beyond my own pets—I am dedicated to ensuring every animal in my care feels safe, loved, and well-attended to. I prioritize meeting each pet’s needs, including feeding, providing fresh water, regular potty breaks, and plenty of playtime. I understand that every pet has its own personality and requirements, and I take the time to ensure they are comfortable, happy, and treated with kindness. I’m majoring in Animal Ecology and this summer I have online classes so I will be more available than I am in fall, winter, and spring. On weekends, I travel home to care for my family’s animals, further reinforcing my commitment to animal welfare. I love to make sure that your pet feels at home even when away from home, I can mimic your daily schedule as best as possible and provide as many or as little updates as you wish! Whether it's every other day or every hour, I'll make it happen. There's no smoking or any sort of paraphernalia allowed in my home, as my family has a history of health issues.

About: I have spent a lot of time caring for puppies and senior animals and everything in between. I enjoy the differences in all different animals. I am currently not working during the weekends and am free to spend lots of time with your pets. We love to be active and to cuddle whichever your pet enjoys. I have a 6 foot privacy fenced backyard and a friendly 3 year old boxer. My cats do their own thing and have little interest in other animals.

About: I have lots of experience working with dogs with Thyroid disorders, joint problems, hip problems, diabetes, and special diets. I'm very flexible. All you have to do is ask and we'll see. I've had Chocolate Labs, Chesapeake Bay Retrievers, Poodles, Terriers, and Shih Tzus. I love animals especially puppies and dogs. I am also willing to watch your cats if you also have them. I wanted to be a veterinarian or veterinary assistant but I didn't quite have the grades for it so that's why I decided to become a dog sitter, a dog walker, pet care taker, dog lover, and pet lover. I will take the best care of your pet and love it like my very own. Hope to hear from you soon. I'm available for house sitting on weekends and some week nights just ask me. Availability for pet care all week depending on the hours needed. I always accompany pets when they are outside even in a fenced in yard. I take short or long walks depending on what is requested.

About: I’ve taken care of two dogs since I was 10 and enjoyed walking them and playing with them. I miss those Pups and want to help others. I am working full time but have flexibility over lunches and before and after work. I am very flexible with my schedule and have others to assist. I am very respectful of both clients and my own home. I want every pet owner to feel comfortable leaving their fur baby with me.

About: I love dogs! What sets me apart is my experience with both puppies and senior pets! I have a knack for training puppies and ensuring they learn good habits while having fun. Plus, I provide extra care and attention for senior pets, making sure they feel comfortable and loved! I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to take care of your dogs needs if you let me know a day in advance! For now I am only booking to let your dogs out/walk them! However I am looking into watching your dog overnight and will make some exceptions!!

About: I've grown up around dogs and cats and I've always loved being around them. Dogs always seem to come up to me and I've always enjoyed taking care of them. I would like to create a business working with dogs especially but I am using this app to gain reputation and to start out small. Eventually I will expand to doing some of the others such as house sitting. I love working with people and helping to meet everyone's needs. I have worked as a library page for two and a half years and so I see people on a daily basis. I am currently also working as a stable hand and a dog Walker at the ankeny pet salon. I've only just started working there however, but I am in it for the long run. I look forward to meeting some new dogs and cats! I can also do these same services for other types of animals, but please directly message me or call me to discuss this. Have a wonderful day!
