“Matt has been a blessing & has eased our fears of leaving our girl for the day. Matt sent a photo update & stayed in communication with us on a trial run. I know my girl is in good hands with Matt & feel so much better about my day away.”

From daily walks to specific dietary and other needs, we tailor care to match your pet's routine and personality! We're familiar with common training techniques/commands and behavior cues.

We do our best to go beyond basic pet sitting and provide a super loving and stress-free environment for your fur babies! We want to make sure your pets feel at home, even when you're away! I’ve incorporated daily and weekly pet care into my routine by setting aside specific times for feeding, grooming, play, and walks. It’s become a natural part of my schedule, and I enjoy the structure it brings to my day. Taking care of my pets is rewarding, and it helps me stay mindful of balancing responsibilities with quality time. I will come back to this. I wrote this out and need to find it and come back and type it here and will do that shortly.

About: I have always had a dog be part of my family and I have always been a reliable pet sitter for family and friends. I have experience with both playful puppies and senior dogs. I understand that every dog has their own personality, quirks, and comfort zone-and I always adjust my care to meet their specific needs. I work from home and create my own schedule so I have a very flexible schedule to be able to take very good care of your furry friends! With my flexible schedule I can easily stick to your dog’s schedule to ensure that the transition into my care is smooth. I also have my own little dog who absolutely loves all dogs and will be so excited to meet your dogs!

About: I've been around and cared for dogs on and off since I was a young child. Currently, I volunteer regularly with the Iowa City Animal Care and Adoption center and have gone through their training classes on dog behavior and providing appropriate stimulation and play. I've cleaned kennels and walked dogs as small as a Yorkie and as big as a Great Dane with a variety of quirks and behaviors. I love throwing a ball or just sitting and scratching some soft ears; whatever your pupper needs. I work a full-time, remote job that allows me flexibly to work from anywhere and the passion to shower your pet with the love they need and deserve. I work full-time fully remote during the day. I am able to do in-home, overnight, or drop in care with lots of flexibility. If you're close enough, I can drop in over breaks or lunch if necessary. I'll follow all house rules regarding your pet: on or off furniture, outdoor or indoor time, treats, feeding, and walkies. I can drop in multiple times a day, or work from your home to provide all day care/attention

I am excited to start working with you and your pet(s)! If you have any questions feel free to reach out! I am looking to provide my services part time, I have the most availability during the week and some weekends! I do not do overnight stays but can check in frequently, depending on your pets needs. As a sitter for Rover, my main focus is your pets safety, comfort, and happiness. I create a calm, secure environment where your pet will feel loved and at home. You can trust that I will treat your pet just as my own, keeping their well-being my top priority!

About: Grew up on a farm and have loved animals ever since I can remember.Enjoy being around them and taking care of them. For the most part there has always been a dog & or cat in my household. Very patient so I think that comes in handy with all the different personalities that pets have. Being reliable is super important to me so if i say I'm going to do something or be there at a certain time its true 99% of the time. Currently have a cat and its hard for me to imagine not being around him every single day. If you let me take care of your pets they will be in great hands!! Work for my self mostly so I can set my own hours. An early riser, who wants to accomplish something new every single day. Plan my schedule out 2 weeks in advance I don't take care of pets in my home because I rent my place out for airbnb. Enjoy going to new places to see new pets

About: I have dog sat for everyone I know. I am the first person someone asks to dog sit. I provide lots of care, attention, and play for dogs. I enjoy walking and spending time with as many dogs as possible! My summer is very open! I have free time almost all of the time! I am studying for my boards that I will be taking soon this summer! I have a park and woods near my house that dogs seem to absolutely love! I live alone with no animals so all attention and focus will be on the doggie!

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have had dogs since I was little. I am well versed in knowing what your dog needs and how to go above and beyond your expectation! I have experience caring for dogs of all breeds! From golden retrievers to American bullies! I live a very active lifestyle so your dogs will have the time of their lives when they’re with me! I also have experience caring for cats, Guinea pigs, and rabbits! You can go about your day stress free, knowing that your pet is getting the best care possible! I am currently working part time as a waitress and am a nursing student at the university of iowa! I am currently doing a summer internship that takes up most of my weekends, however I am mostly free during the week! I strive to make every animal I am around as comfortable as possible. They will feel the most love and care when they are with me. Your fur babies safety is my greatest concern, and I will make sure that they feel their safest! I will be extremely attentive to make sure that as we are on our walk or just playing outside that there is no danger nearby and that your pet feels at ease!

About: Hey, it’s lovely to meet you! I’m Skylynn! But my friends call me Cielo :) From cuddly kittens to wise old pups, pets have been part of my world since I could walk! I’ve shared my life with dogs and cats through every stage—from zooming-around-the-house puppies to sweet seniors who just want a comfy nap buddy. But my care goes far beyond food bowls and leashes! I tailor walks and playtime to match each pet’s energy, keep a close eye on special diets, and gently handle medications and supplements when needed. I even handle brushing and nail trims to help your furry little fur ball feel their best! I’m all about making pets feel safe, loved, and happy! Whether they’re shy, spunky, cuddly, or curious, I tune into their emotional needs—offering play, snuggles, and calm companionship that makes them feel right at home. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me for years because I treat every pet like family—because to me, they are! And the love doesn’t stop at cats and dogs! I’ve also grown up around horses, cows, and reptiles, giving me a well-rounded understanding of animals big, small, and scaly! No matter who I’m caring for, I bring kindness, patience, and a whole lot of heart to every visit! (También hablo español :) I work part-time with mostly short morning shifts—so pet care fits perfectly into my day! I have plenty of time in the afternoons, evenings, and even weekends to give your four-legged-ball-of-joy the attention they deserve. Whether it’s a midday walk, dinner and snuggles, or a weekend playdate, I’ve got the time (and the love!) to spare. Caring for animals brings me so much joy—it never feels like “extra” work, just the best part of my day! 🐾💛 I choose to care for pets in their own home, because my #1 goal is to make everything feel just right—for both you and your fluffy buddy! I follow your instructions closely to keep routines familiar and stress-free. Whether it’s feeding schedules, walk times, favorite toys, or cozy sleeping spots, I make sure your pet feels safe, secure, and totally at ease! I treat your home with the same respect and care I give your pet. Clean, tidy, and trustworthy is the name of my game! I always double-check doors, gates, and anything safety-related to make sure your pet stays secure and happy while you’re away. You can count on regular updates (and cute photos, of course!) so you know your pet is in loving hands. Familiar smells, their own bed, and a loving sitter? That’s a recipe for tail wags and purrs all around!

About: I have taken care of dogs, pigs, chickens, cats, birds and fish for my family and for friends. I also have a Persian senior cat at home :) I am currently unemployed so I am available most of the time other than taking care of my family. I am looking for check ins, I can feed, walk, play, etc. and clean up after animals. I don’t mind multiple animals at one time. I go on long walks every day now and need a partner! I love older animals as well as babies. I have come to raise kittens and puppies and help teach potty training and good manners. Tricks too.

About: I have grown up living with 2+ large dogs in the house always. I am a huge dog lover and love animals in general. Recently I have also become a cat owner. I’m currently a full-time student and part-time employee in a management position. I am looking to get a little more income and broaden my experience with pet care. I will not provide in home pet care. I will instead be able to come to clients homes to care for their pets. Thank you!

About: I have always had a dog growing up and for the last 5 years I have always had 2. I was always asked to dog sit for neighbors, friends, and even my family. I also dog trained 2 dogs that went on to get multiple trophies. I am currently at home for the summer until I head to UNI in the fall. I have a part time job but always have time for my dogs and possibly others! At my place, I have a big yard space to walk them around and plenty of space for them to play inside. I would want to check on any rules when go to a clients place to make sure I am not doing anything wrong for the dog or owners

About: I have owned many dogs in my life time. I can deal with dogs who don’t do well on a leash as well as senior dogs.

Once my job starts I will only be free Friday-Sunday I live in a safe apartment complex with a pad lock on the front door so your pet will be safe. Experience with many types of dogs.

About: I have always had a pet to take care of my whole life. I have a nursing background, so am comfortable with giving any medications as needed. I can bathe, feed and walk your pet as desired. I currently work part time but would be available to watch your pet on the weekends or make stops in to let them out or walk them throughout the day on days that I do not work. I have 2 dogs of my own and they are both very social and well trained dogs. I have a fenced in yard with two dogs who are well trained and socialized. I have the best of both worlds with an older (14 year old) dog who prefers to relax next to his owners and another dog (8 years old) who has energy for days! You can bet that I will care for your pet as if it were my own.
