I was in 4H and have multiple years of experience with various animals but currently work the most with dogs who I have 10 years experience pet sitting with. I've also worked for multiple animal shelters and volunteer currently at shelters in my free time! Our home has a great back yard to play in and we allow dogs to any part of our house, which also means they are constantly being looked after. Any food, treat, sleep, play time, or medication routine will be followed per owner instructions.

“Tiffany was great! We were traveling through Iowa and needed a place to leave Tommy for the afternoon so we could take a riverboat sightseeing tour. Due to poor planning on my part we had to find someone just a few days before our trip, but Tiffany responded to my request very quickly and was able to take him on short notice. She was so kind, and Tommy warmed up to her quickly. We really appreciated having a great place to take him for the afternoon!”

About: An an animal lover and long term pet owner, I have a wide variety of personal experience in puppies and senior animal care; cats and dogs included. I elevate the pet care experience by seamlessly integrating experience in puppy training with positive reinforcement in my own dog, personal and compassionate experience with senior cat and dog care, the added touch of a peaceful backyard garden oasis, and child free home. Working from home allows me to extend my commitment to your pet's well-being into a peaceful supervised indoor and outdoor experience, where my passion in community garden work contributes to a unique and stress-free environment. Imagine your furry friend exploring lush surroundings, benefiting from the sensory delights and tranquility of nature, with no immediate pet neighbors for an accommodating sensory environment for your pet. I wake up around 5am to take care of morning feeding and outdoor breaks before my workday starts at 8am. Typically, I let dogs out in about 2 hour increments throughout my teaching day, keeping my pet and guest pets separate for optimal supervision. After work, about 5-6pm I'll feed pets dinner, and then take my dog on its daily walk, and your dog is welcome to join if that is their preferred activity. If leash walking is not preferred, then a jaunt in the backyard for exercise is a great happy medium. I have a privacy fenced in yard that can keep your dog safe during outdoor play. Pets are limited to the main floor for optimal supervision during my work day. During feeding, dogs are fed in separate rooms as a preventative behavior measure in a new environment.

I have trusted her with many of my animals while I have been gone for weeks or during the day when I am too busy to let them out quickly. She is a gem!”


Rhiannon W.
“Rhiannon, has pet sit my two dogs and cat while I was out of town multiple times over the past few years. They aren’t the easiest bunch to deal with! One of them is a large intimidating “aggressive breed” and the other is a scrappy little human biter. I think Rhiannon is one of the only people who he hasn’t bitten. The Cat is a picky eater and escape artist but Rhiannon has kept them happy and (the rest of the world ) safe while we are away. As someone who ran my own small pet sitting business in the past for 6 years I know what it takes to care for my own and other people’s pets. Rhiannon is a sweet and gentle soul who I’m confident will be a wonderful friend to your fur babies!”
