“I landed in the ER and needed someone to walk my dog while I was in the hospital because my 92 yr old mother couldn't do it. I found Luke, who actually lived very close to my home. Luke is a very friendly, polite, courteous, and caring person who loves dogs. He took excellent care of my 15 yr old dog while I was in the hospital for a couple days and for two days after, which really helped me a LOT. Luke loves animals and I never worried about my dog while he was in Luke's care. Thanks so much Luke for all you did!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ranging from small to very large in the last 4 years. I administer medication every morning to my own dog and I have great time management to fit my pets feeding schedules. I currently work at a daycare every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 1pm-6pm and Tuesday’s and Thursday’s from 7:30am-4:30pm. However I will be leaving that job at the end of July and I am looking for short term employment as I will be moving in the coming months. I have reliable transportation so you would never have to worry about your pet not getting cared for in a timely manner. I also have a crate to use in the car if needed for transporting pets. Although most of my pet care experience is with dogs, I am open to caring for cats and other pets as well!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was about 14 years old. For my 14th birthday I asked for a dog and we named him max. Max was a Maltese and he grew up with epilepsy and sadly passed away when he was 5 years old from the disease. I now have two 3 year old dogs one is named Charlie and he is a lab mix the other is named king who we recently adopted from the shelter and he is a pit mix. I am well experienced caring for all kinds of pups! I am currently trying to build up my customer base for my new dog walking business called QC Paws On The Go. So I am very dedicated to finding people who need a little extra help making sure their pup gets everything they need on a daily basis! I can only offer services at the clients home. Unfortunately my newly adopted dog named king is quite reactive and territorial due to his troubled past of abuse and neglect. I can offer daily walks or if your pup likes to stay at home I can come by and get some play time in the yard and any other care that is needed!
About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I can remember I have always enjoyed taking care of them and making sure they are living their best life. I have three dogs of my own including a labradoodle and two french bulldogs. I consistently watch all the dogs in my neighborhood and watch my friends cats as well. I also have a lot of experience with puppies due to my family being guide dog raisers for a long period of time. Along with puppies I am also good with senior dogs due to my family choosing to foster a lot of senior dogs. I also have experience and love all sizes and kinds of dogs. I look forward to treat your animals as if they are my own and show them every bit of love and care you would show them. I am staying in staying in Davenport over the summer and working part time so I have plenty of time to care for your pet! I am available for housesitting pretty much any day because my shifts are short and I am able to go check on your pet during my shift if needed. I’m also available for walks and check ins most days except for Fridays after 11 a.m. I also know the summer is are a busy time and I am usually pretty flexible and ALWAYS open to any last minute pet sitting requests. Whenever I am watching a neighbors dog while staying in their house I make sure I am constantly spending time with them and getting their energy out, whether it is playing fetch, taking them on a walk, or even just cuddling on the couch with them. I always make sure they consistently get out to use the restroom. I love spending my time with your cute doggos and making sure they are happy as can be while your away!
About: I have experience walking, feeding, bathing and brushing pets. I have loved living with pets my whole life. I enjoying bonding, playing and caring for animals of all kinds. I am a recent high school graduate and will be attending a local college in the fall. I have a flexible schedule and am available all days of the week. My two dogs, have very different natures. Being able to care for each of them, they've taught me how I need to adjust to match their needs best. I like to get to know pets, and their personality. With that, I love being able to care for them with whatever needs they may have.
About: Hi! My name is Amanda. I have worked in doggie daycare, worked as a bather and in the sales department! At work I got to experience different breeds, temperaments and personalities! My favorite part of my job is building strong relationships with the owners and their dogs! I also have experience dropping in homes while their owners are at work, school or out of town. When I do drop ins I have taken them on walks, picked up after them and fed them. I absolutely love working with all animals! I am known to have great communication skills, I am compassionate , and I am responsible. I pride myself in those traits and look forward to building a relationship with you and your family member!

She took him in without hesitation and gave him the best last days of his life. She stayed with him around the clock to take care of him and make sure he was comfortable and as happy as he could be. She took her time and had so much compassion for him and you can tell how much time and love she puts into animal's.”

Lukas H.
“Lukas has taken wonderful care of our two cats while we travel! He is very trustworthy and conscientious. We have also entrusted other duties to him, such as taking in the mail and watering the plants. It is apparent that Lukas really loves working with animals - - a perfect characteristic for a pet-carer! We are very happy with the services he provides.”
Amanda K.
“Amanda has been a pillar in my life, and in the life of my two tweens. I had an out-of-town weekend and Amanda stayed with my children, got them to school, fed them dinner, etc. But the best part was how she handled their tweenie attitudes. She was firm, honest, and gave them straightforward consequences for their actions and behavior: She actually empowered them to be better people. Oh, ops. Was this supposed to be a testimonial for pet sitting? She did that, too. Walked the dogs, fed the cats, honored the house rules about furniture, and I got super cute photos of them all in action. She took care of the pets for both day-at-a-time and when we were away for a few days at a time. She's great for both the pets and the pets!”
