5. Auden B.
“Auden has given walks to our dog, Mochi, over the last six months. She was a lifesaver after I had a baby in January and it was harder for me to have the time to walk Mochi, especially in the cold weather. Mochi especially loved going on walks in Hickory Hill Park with her. Thank you, Auden!”

“Jaxson takes care of my very high maintenance yet adorable dogs frequently. They like him more than me if that tells you anything about the care and attention he gives them both. He is kind and patient and loves my dogs! Thank you Jaxson for being the best pet sitter ever! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

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
9. Hannah F.
“I completely trust Hannah to take care of my dog when I am away. The multiple times she has dog sat for me, I know she is in good hands and don’t have to worry one bit. Hannah is very responsible and patient. She also takes great care of her dog, Henley, and I am 100% sure she would do the same for your dog! I completely recommend her as a caretaker!”
10. Morganne M.
“Morganne made an instant connection with my big, hypervigilant dog. She's also very friendly to humans! She arrived on time and it's evident she knows dogs very well! I'll be reaching out to her again.”
11. Alexander K.
“Alex is awesome and really loves walking my dogs! Very nice and walks the extra mile :)”
12. claudia s.
“Claudia has watched my dog several times and he gets super excited when he sees her! He is young and a bit high maintenance but Claudia handled him with ease. She gave him LOTS of love and attention and even sent me multiple updates and photos while I was away! I used to feel terrible dropping him off at a kennel but now I know he's in great hands with Claudia. 5 Stars all the way!! Highly recommend!!”

“Matt has incredible attention to detail and deep intuition when it comes to caring for animals. I call Matt the cat whisperer because cats gravitate towards them so easily!”
14. Katherine C.
About: I have 4+ years of pet care experience, offering reliable and compassionate services for dogs and cats of all ages. As a Certified Nursing Assistant, I bring a calm and patient approach, ideal for senior pets or those needing extra attention. I’m comfortable administering medications, handling special diets, and providing extra playtime or exercise. With flexible availability and my own transportation, I can easily accommodate your schedule. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I love creating a fun and stress-free environment for them while you’re away! As a college student with a flexible schedule, I’m able to offer morning, afternoon, and evening visits for walks, playtime, and feeding. I make sure each pet gets plenty of attention and exercise, whether it’s a midday walk or an extended play session. I’m also available for overnight stays and can adjust my routine to meet your pet’s needs, ensuring they feel loved and well-cared for, even when you’re not home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow the routine they’re used to, so they feel comfortable and secure. I provide regular walks, feedings, playtime, and lots of affection based on your pet’s needs. I’m happy to stick to any specific instructions you provide, like administering medication or following a special diet. I also keep the home tidy, clean up after the pets, and make sure they have fresh water at all times. I’ll send you updates and photos throughout my visit to give you peace of mind while you’re away!
15. Shelby S.
“Our cat hides from most people from outside our family, but when Shelby arrives, he comes running to see her. She has a natural affinity for cats and certainly does a fine job with ours. I recommend her highly.”
16. Krista H.
About: Hello!! I have had two dogs since I was 10 years old. I was the primary care giver of my Shih Tzu until going to college in 2021. I also trained both of my dogs from puppy to adult. I love all types of dogs, and have always been interested in training! I even went to Cesar Milan’s ranch when in California! I am currently in classes, but only from 10 until noon each day. Most weekends i’m free during the day, but usually busy at nights. I also have a part time job, but I know my hours well in advanced. I want to be a good companion for your animal, providing it with positive reinforcement and giving it the love they deserve. I am also very flexible with certain routines or special needs that the animal needs.
17. Jenna B.
“Jenna is such a great person and absolutely loves animals. If you’re looking for someone to look after your pets as their own, look no further. Her dogs are so friendly and well mannered and my pups always enjoy their visit. I’m so thankful for Jenna and the care she provides my two dogs.”
18. Emma S.
“Emma is a dedicated dog owner. She is attentive to her dog's needs for activity, care and love. She provides stimulation to her by playing, teaching tricks and walking. She is committed to walking her dog several miles a day no matter the time, weather or availability. She is Intune with her animal and her needs.”
19. Fawn B.
“Fawn was wonderful with our pups. She spent extra time with our younger dog that has more energy than our senior dog. Will definitely use her again.”
20. Rose T.
