“Had a great room for my two cats to stay in! It has a window ac that kept them nice and comfy. She sent me messages every day on how they were doing and even sent a few cute pics! Very attentive to them. Did not let them out of the room as per requested. Would definitely use again!!”
About: I grew up with dogs and have always enjoyed taking care of them. I've taken care of old dogs, puppies, and dogs in their prime. I love taking dogs on walks, especially if I can run with them. Getting outside is great. I'm a busy guy, but any second I'm not working is a waste. I work overnights during weekdays and part-time jobs every day except Sunday. I hope pet care can fill the gaps in my schedule. I don't board now because of the rules of my landlord, but I will stay in other homes and get dogs outside whenever I can. I love taking dogs to the park and getting them exercise.
“Sonja was terrific! She stayed with our cat Jingle for 3 weeks while we were on vacation. She communicated well, sent photo updates, cleaned house, watered plants and cleaned up Jingle’s, umm, dead critters in the house! She went above and beyond what was expected and I would recommend her whole heartedly!! Thanks, Sonja😍”
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. I am located in Iowa City I am starting a new job in the beginning of July so in the meantime I’m free every day for drop in visits or boarding. 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.
“Sidney has pet sat two times for me and has gone above and beyond! She made an extra stop to check in on my cat while we were gone, which meant a lot. Highly recommend and will definitely be using her again in the future.”
About: My name is Grant . I’ve had German shepherds my whole life. I grew up with three of them at all times throughout my life. This made me passionate about taking caring for others dogs in addition to my own. I walk my dogs once a day so I have experience caring for dogs and will treat them as my own. I will take care of your dogs by taking them on long walks or any other requests you ask for. I’m able to give your dog all the attention needed. I have a part time job and go to school for anthropology. I am available mostly during the evenings because I go to school during the day. I offer a lot of services for your pet like pet sitting, long or short walks, and throwing a tennis ball. I’m happy to hear any of your requests. I have a small fence in my yard. In my yard I throw the ball for my dogs. I feed my dogs twice a day but I would accommodate on how your feeding schedule works. If you any specific requests on how I should care for your pet definitely let me know.
