Dog Walkers in Raymond, IA

About: Hi! My name is Danielle and I can't wait to meet your four-legged fur-baby. :) I’ve had pets my entire life and for the past three years, I’ve started caring for others in addition to my own. I have experience caring for dogs with special needs, and of all different sizes and breeds. Plenty of feline experience too! If you have an athletic or active dog, I am the host for you!!! Trips to parks (on and off leash), and visiting nature trails are my jam. If your dog is less active, I can bring my activity level to where your dog is most happy and comfortable. I work full-time from home, but I have a flexible schedule to care for the needs of your feline or canine. For any scheduling concerns, reach out and let’s start a conversation. I live in a farmhouse with a few acres of land, so I offer lots of running around and play time! I always keep the water bowl full and am always willing to offer your pet a bath (if you'd like.) My main priority is a happy and healthy pet for the duration of care while maintaining your peace of mind with plenty of updates and pictures. If I sound like a good fit for your fur-baby, I'd love the to meet y'all and let's play fetch! Please note, I only board one family's pet(s) at a time unless discussed otherwise.

“Amina was super flexible and squeezed my puppy in her schedule, and on very short notice! She also snapped some cute photos of them outside, he looked like he loved it. So glad i reached out to her will definitely be using her in the future :)”

“Baylee is AMAZING! She was able to meet with me right away, and fit Winston in next day. She worked around my schedule and made me feel super comfortable. Listened to all my worries and made me feel so much better having a sitter. Winston absolutely loved her :) I wil definitely be re booking with her for any of my needs.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my extensive experience and specialized skills. I have a background in animal behavior, allowing me to understand and address each dog's unique needs. I’m trained in handling both senior dog's and those with special requirements, ensuring they receive the best care. Additionally, I can offer enrichment activities to keep them engaged and happy. My commitment to creating a safe, loving environment makes all the difference in your dog’s well-being while you’re away. Dog care is a key part of my daily routine. Each morning begins a walk to get the day started right. I am available anytime your pup needs me. When caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on creating a familiar and comforting environment. I provide regular feeding, exercise, and playtime, ensuring routines remain consistent. I also administer any medications as needed and monitor their behavior for any signs of distress. Daily updates are given to the pet owner, including photos and messages. Additionally, I prioritize keeping their area clean and safe, ensuring their pets feel secure and loved while their owners are away.

About: I've had dogs, and cats my entire life, whether it be the family pets, or my own. I've had and taken care of cats, and dogs. My girlfriend and I currently have two dogs, Harry a 2 year old Husky, Chow, Terrier, Poodle mix. Oliver a year and a half year old Golden Retriever. Pet care is a LARGE part of my day to day life. I try and give my dogs at least one walk or trip to the dog park every day. Our dogs are part of our family. They're very sweet, and loving. My girlfriend and I do not live together so they stay at both of our houses throughout the week. At my house, where I will be boarding clients dogs is partially fenced in, but when outside the dogs are always supervised and tied. I generally stay outside with them while they're outside because I don't think I can be too cautious when it comes to their safety. When it comes to a clients pets, I would be just as if not more diligent. As mentioned, I do have two dogs of my own, however when taking care of clients pets, my dogs will stay at my girlfriend's house to eliminate any possible conflicts. If hired to go to a clients home, I am happy to accommodate whatever instructions and routines they have for their own dogs or cats.

About: I am a college student and love pets. Currently living in Waterloo. I have had a few cats growing up and still have 2 dogs back home. I currently have 3 cats and are my fur babies! I have not only played and taken care of them most of my life, but also have helped train service dogs at Retrieving Freedom as a part of one of my college classes. Giving them food, baths, and bringing them on long walks, or to a park to play are all things that I have experience with due to being a pet owner myself. I am currently a graduate student and looking for a part-time job. Watching and caring for pets would fit well into my schedule as I have most early mornings, some afternoons and most evenings free. I am a full time graduate college student and looking for a part-time job. Pet sitting works well with my schedule as it changes every semester. I make sure I obtain as much information from the owner beforehand and do meet and greets to ensure safety for when I care for their pets.

About: I used to work at a dog kennel a couple years ago. For years I would also volunteer at the shelter in my home town. I’ve always had a dog with me while growing up and of course even now, I can’t imagine not having at least one! I’ve had dogs from all ages from puppies to old babies! I have 5 dogs (all different sizes) and 3 cats! I’ve baby sat my friends dogs and cats and neighbors pets like birds, rabbits, lizards, and handful of others plenty of times too! I’ve been around all kinds of animals and have owned a good diversity of animals. I absolutely adore animals and treat them like they are my babies. I’d love to help you out and take care of your pet while you are away or even let them come over for some doggy daycare! Pet sitting is becoming my full time job! I have plenty of time for my babies and I’ll have plenty of time for yours :) My life revolves around my pets! I have a fenced in yard for my dogs. I normally play with them in my backyard for at least an hour in the afternoon. They love to sunbathe outside so I like to sit outside with them and read. I have a kiddie pool that they love to play in too! In the evenings I take them on a walk through our neighborhood as well. At least one weekend day I’ll either take them to the dog park or on a longer hike/ walk which they absolutely love. I have devoted my days to pet sitting so I am available almost always. I take care of my own animals from sun up till sun down! I have a big fully fenced in yard that my dogs absolutely love! I normally am outside with them playing with them or just to keep an eye on them!

“Tiara helped us out with a last minute dog walk while my partner and I would be out at work for 12 hours. Serious life saver! She is so so nice and very caring. She sent the best photos and even texted another update after she left to assure us all was good. 10/10 recommend ? Booking again for sure! ❤️”

“Awesome service”

“Tee-Tee was amazing with Aspen and Ziggy. Ziggy is a large rescue with big feelings sometimes. I know others have had unfortunate experiences with sitters or walkers, but Tee-Tee is exceptional and will be brought back whenever our schedules align.”

About: I’ve had a dog since I was 8 years old so I’ve never been scared of dogs no matter how big they are. My dog is a Shih Tzu so he’s small but my brother recently got 2 big dogs that I help out with from time to time when he’s not home. They’re the sweetest dogs. I usually go to the gym on my free time but I always have a little more time to do extra stuff when I’m not working. In my home, we have a doggy gate and keep things put up because sometimes dogs are curious or like to eat random things. Always have water out for them when they come from outside.
