“Kayla went above and beyond for our boy! She is super reliable and took such amazing care of Jax! Just to add how amazing she is, our garage code wasn’t working and she stayed over an hour locked out trying to figure out a solution to make sure she got to Jax while we were out of town!! A+ from us!”

“Auden and Yen (her right hand canine assistant) kept our 8 month old female Birdie safe, loved ,exercised and entertained for eight days at our house while we had a trip out of state. First time we have left our puppy with a pet sitter and we’re naturally anxious at first but felt completely relaxed and confident with Auden especially after many cute pictures and texts of Birdie and Yen playing, sleeping and on walks together. Such a relief to find someone you feel safe leaving your pet with.”

“Amber was phenomenal with my dog, Arya, while I was out of the country!! She house sat for me and sent me daily updates and photos so I never had to worry how things were. I came home to a very happy pup! I can’t recommend her enough and will be using her again and again!”

About: I began providing pet care at 13 years old, starting with friends and family before expanding through social media to serve a wide range of clients. My experience includes dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, medication administration, enrichment, and personalized care. What began as a passion has grown into a trusted, professional pet care service. For more about my background, visit me at Jet Set Pet Care. Animal care is intentionally built into my daily and weekly routine to ensure consistency and reliability for every client. I structure my schedule around morning, midday, and evening care windows to accommodate feeding times, walks, litter maintenance, and enrichment visits. I limit bookings to maintain quality and punctuality, allowing me to provide attentive, unrushed care. Weekly planning includes route organization, client communication, and follow-ups to ensure each pet’s needs are met. Pet care is not a side task for me — it is a priority and a structured part of my routine. I tailor my care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and the specific service requested. In a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal schedule to reduce stress — including feeding, fresh water, walks, litter box cleaning, medication if needed, enrichment, and plenty of affection. I closely monitor behavior, appetite, and overall well-being and provide detailed updates with photos.

“Did an excellent job while we were gone!”

“Thanks Angie for taking such great care of our 3 puppies! Angie was very prompt, responsive, and communicative. We have 2 very vocal small dogs and one senior dog. She did so great with them and we knew they were in good hands. We got regular pictures and updates. Angie also took great care of our house. Highly recommend using Angie to watch your dogs - they'll be well loved.”

Emily M.

“Elise was wonderful to our dog and cat while we were away! The boys had a blast and hardly noticed we were gone. We will definitely be hiring her again in the future.”

About: Paid through ISU business school by being a Live-In Dog "Manny" in exchange for free rent, took care of 5 dogs daily, and rotating foster pups through college. Very clean, responsible, punctual, and trustworthy, have been walking neighborhood pups daily for over 5 years, specializing in walks, feeding, check-in/drop-ins for all furry animals big or small. References available upon request. I work from home with a very flexible schedule, making it easy to run out and check in on your furry member of the family, whether in event of an emergency or daily scheduled visits or walks, whatever fits your needs I am here to help! I have a 6ft fenced in back yard filled with toys and an outdoor dog house for some shade during outdoor play time if your pup needs to stay over, plenty of food and fresh water available at all times, and a camera in the backyard if you wanted to check in on your furry best friend.

“We are so grateful to have found Christine. She is AMAZING sitter. You could tell pups were very well taken care of. This was first time having sitter at our place and I was definitely anxious. She sent us updates with photos throughout and ensure that one of my pup got medication he needed on time daily. She is kind, communicative, responsible. Can’t recommend her enough. We had a lovely trip knowing that pups were in good hands. Thank you Christine!!!”

“Lauren was absolutely amazing with Axel and Layla! I needed last second care for them and she took great care of them! She was punctual, communicative, and open to do more for them. Hands down the greatest experience I’ve had on Rover for the pups! 12/10 stars and would highly recommend her! Your fur-children will be in the best care with her!”

About: I’ve taken care of a dog ever since I was 8, I love to be around animals and can’t wait to expand my pet caring experience! I am currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pets! My schedule can be pretty flexible to fit your needs! I will almost always be available if you need to contact me while I am taking care of your pets, and will do whatever you instruct me to!

About: Lived with dogs for 20 years, cats for almost 10. Worked with dogs and cats for 5 years as a sitter/walker unprofessionally. Looking to watch friendly animals looking for a companion! I work part time with short shifts in a local shop, so i’m available often and rarely out of town/completely booked. Willing to do 3+ visits daily depending on location and distance / additional fees on top. Not available to care for pets in home. Can do home visits to feed, water, walk, administer care/med routines (when informed ahead of time with proper instruction), and just chill with animals of all kinds and sizes.

About: I have been the go-to neighborhood dog sitter ever since I was in junior high. Now I live in Iowa City with my husband and field retriever, Oakley, and am ready to continue opening my home to your pets! I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, personalities, and energy levels. I work from home, so I am here all day for your pet. My typical routine with Oakley includes a lunch time walk and a post work hike at Hickory Hill. I’d love to bring your pup along for these adventures but can also cater to your pups individual needs/preferences and adjust as needed! We have a fenced in yard as well for the pups to run around in. I work full time from home, so I am able to attend to your dog throughout the day as needed. I typically play fetch or tug or something or the sort with my pup in the morning, take her for a walk ~1 mi walk over lunch, and for a 1-2 hour hike after work. I can adjust the level of activity as needed to match what you’re looking for! I have a fenced in yard (standard chain link so not suited for high jumpers) and an active pup for your dog to play with! I am comfortable crating your dog or leaving free roaming, whatever is your preference and your routine!

About: From growing up on a farm, to all family pets- I’ve worked with them all & welcome all fur babies! I’m flexible with sitting/walking opportunities, just reach out! As recent college graduate, I’m looking to fill in some time when given! I’m flexible for timeframes, with both short and long term care experience. I’ve worked more with dog and cat sitting over longer-weekend terms, family friend wise, but my older sister and mom have many cats to love and care for. Along with basic pet care, I’ve had farm pets of all forms therefore super comfortable with various forms of pets!
