We couldn’t have asked for a better petsitter! Amy is incredibly attentive, caring, and reliable, and our pets were so happy and well taken care of while we were away. She provided regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind and comfort knowing how happy they were in her care. It’s clear how much Amy genuinely care about animals, and she went above and beyond to make sure all of our pet’s needs were met - she also kept the house very orderly and clean. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust to care for their furry family member(s). Thank you again for everything!

Paul was a fantastic pet sitter for our family this past week while we were out of town. He gave our dog, cat, and fish more love and attention than they typically get with our busy schedules. Our dog has struggled with sleeping when being boarded and having her normal environment kept her very relaxed and happy. Paul sent photos everyday with updates to let us know their status. A small bonus was Paul kept an eye on the house and grabbed our mail and packages and kept them put of the weather. Paul was reliable and trustworthy. Will definitely be using him in the future!

We really appreciate everything that Allison does for our Louie! She’s very punctual and arrives when she says she will and she does a wonderful job of staying in contact with us and filing us in on how things are going. We really appreciate the photos she sends us as well. She brings her own bedding and food and always leaves our home in great shape. We are always confident that our doggie will receive kind and loving care. We highly recommend Allison! 5 Stars!!

This is the 3rd time we book Angie and she has been so great every single time. We have 3 pups and one of them was just diagnosed with diabetes and Angie did so good giving Zoey her insulin shot. We will definitely book with her for future travel. 😃

Quinn was absolutely amazing with our pups! We had a last minute trip that required someone to stay with our dogs at our house for 7 days and Quinn went over and beyond. She took our dogs to the apartment dog park daily and played with them for hours. Would recommend Quinn to anyone needing a loyal pet sitter who will treat your animals like her own. When we returned she washed all the bed sheets and tidy up the house so we returned to a clean home.

Chloe stayed at my apartment with my fearful rescue while I was at work for two days. They got along famously and she was quite adept at reading him! The regular updates soothed my worry about leaving him. I returned to a joyous dog both times- could not have asked for anyone better.

About: I've owned multiple senior dogs, and volunteered at the ARL dog shelter. I am more experienced with cats, but am willing to work with dogs as well, especially if they're easy going. I'm currently attending college, so for the summer my schedule is pretty much open! I can work anytime of day, and am able to work holidays. I have experience working with senior and sickly pets, as well as some experience with kittens. If you have a cat who is harness trained I would be happy to take them on walks.

About: I am a student at Iowa State University, eager to get some good puppy love. After moving from northern Illinois, I miss my family dogs dearly and want to help others with their dogs and give them the attention they deserve. Growing up, I had many dogs and cats, ranging from small to very large dogs. I am also experienced handling less friendly dogs, and am good at making connections with them. I’m currently working part time as a customer services representative at Iowa State’s Recreation Services and do research remotely in a lab at the university. I tend to be able to do early mornings or afternoons! My apartment is safe, secured by multiple locked doors and is regularly cleaned and uncluttered. At a clients house, I am sure to respect your pet’s way of life and the house rules as well.

About: Weh di goh on? I’ve fed, ran with and taken care of dogs ranging from Pitbull to Pomeranian. I’ve stayed up all night with a sick dog and I’ve ran and played long and hard enough to make a dog want a power nap. I was the co-owner of a Pitbull-Mastiff mix, while living with two other roommates in a two bedroom apartment...we all survived (but A LOT of furniture was replaced in the process). You don’t need me, but your dog will probably be at their happiest by my side with the wind flowing in their whiskers. I love being outside. Do you have an high energy dog? I’m your guy. Want him or her to be loved, cuddled and properly cared for? I’m your guy. I look forward to meeting you and your little and/or big one✌🏾
