I had some temporary health issues that is preventing me from walking my dog. My sister has used Rover in Des Moines and was pleased. I like Jeans bio and used her last week. She was timely keeping me informed when she was on her way and sending pics on the walk. My dog came home tired. I am pleased with the service and Jeans professional demeanor and love of animals. I will continue to use her.

About: As a dedicated dog sitter, I offer a personalized and compassionate approach tailored to each pet's unique needs. With experience in puppy training, I help young dogs build essential habits. I focus on building trust with each dog, giving them the one-on-one attention they deserve. From playtime to gentle walks and administering medications when needed, my goal is to create a stress-free, happy environment so you can be confident your pet is in great hands. As a stay-at-home dog mom, I’m able to offer consistent, round-the-clock attention, with plenty of playtime, walks, and cuddles built right into my routine. My home is a pet-friendly space where dogs feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. Because I’m here throughout the day, I can easily adjust to each pet’s unique schedule and needs, whether it’s for feeding, exercise, or a quiet moment to relax. When pets are in my home, I provide a cozy, secure space where they’re treated like family. They have access to safe, pet-friendly areas for playing, resting, and exploring, along with daily exercise tailored to their energy level. I maintain a structured routine for feeding, walking, and playtime, ensuring they feel right at home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routines intact to provide comfort and familiarity. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special requests.

About: I've worked in animal welfare for almost eight years. I was a shelter manager and later assistant director for two local shelters. When I worked at shelters, I was one of many primary care takers for between 80-150 cats and 8-15 dogs. I'd monitor wellness, provide enrichment, and provide all necessary medication for animals. I am vaccine certified and comfortable with dogs of any breed/size, cats, many small mammals and most birds. I work full time Monday through Friday. I have semi-flexible 8:00-5:00 work hours and an hour lunch. I work partially from home and can work from your home if needed. I am deeply familiar with any and all signs of illness in animals after having worked in animal shelters for so long. I can also read dog body language, I am fear-free certified and able to work with reactive pups. I will send frequent photos and updates, I know pets are family! I recognize I am a guest in your home and will follow any and all rules provided.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs through both daily routines and extended stays. I regularly help with my SIL’s two Goldendoodles, ages 7 and 5 months, including walks, feeding, playtime, and cleanup. I also completed a two-week dog and house sitting stay for a friend, where I cared for a German Shepherd and maintained their normal routine. This gave me experience with both puppies and larger breeds, as well as managing a pet independently. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to dog needs. I prioritize clear communication and always follow owner instructions closely so your pet feels safe and well cared for. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind! **I go to school in Davenport, IA (live in Bettendorf), and travel often to Chicago - will frequently update weekends I’ll be in the city** 5/1-5/3 5/8-5/10 I’m currently a Physician Assistant Student finishing up my clinical year, which gives me a fairly flexible schedule depending on my rotation. Most consistently available on the weekends, potentially weekdays. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific care needs. I also keep the home clean and organized, handling things like food areas, accidents, and general tidiness. Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates and photos to keep owners informed and reassured while they’re away.

We are home at all hours of the day so availability is very flexible! We love to be active and can't wait to play with your pup!

About: I have hands-on experience caring for various pets, including my own two dogs—a Boxer and a Pit Bull. I played a key role in training them, ensuring they were well-behaved and happy. Additionally, I've taken care of pets for my parents' friends and looked after a friend's dog during her late-night clinicals in college. My diverse experience and dedication to each pet's well-being set me apart, ensuring your furry friend receives top-notch care and attention. As a full-time college student with a flexible schedule, I can easily fit pet care into my daily or weekly routine. I'm available to work whenever needed or requested, ensuring your pets get the attention they deserve. I genuinely love working with dogs and have a natural ability to connect with them. My calm and patient demeanor helps me handle pets effectively, even when they don’t listen right away. With my own dogs, we’ve successfully trained them while maintaining patience and understanding. When caring for other dogs, I follow the owner's instructions carefully and handle any issues with a caring and attentive approach, ensuring your pets feel safe and loved. I understand as a dog owner myself that pets are also a member of the family and they need about the same care and attention as a human.

Being away from my boy while working 12-hour shifts can be stressful. While searching for care services in the Bettendorf area, I worried about choosing the right caregiver for my boy. Knowing Tia is there for him when I can’t be has made all the difference. Her reliability, attentiveness, and compassion allow me to work with confidence. Thank you, Tia for all that you do!
