About: I’ve had a dog ever since I was a baby and grew up visiting my grandpa’s farm in the country! My family also had cats, and I had four fish growing up! I love taking care of my family’s dog whether it be walking, exploring, or just cuddling and petting! I have had experience with all types of pets, from super energetic to ones that would sit on the couch all day long if they could! I have experience staying overnight for multiple days if needed with your pets, or dropping in a couple times a day as needed! I also love taking walks!
“Coree was reliable, friendly and took great care of my cat, Flipper. I was gone for a week and she came in daily to care, feed and play. I will use her again and would recommend 👌 her to Ft. Madison, Iowa area residents.”

About: I have three cute doggies and a loving cat. I have been taking care of them since I was 21 years old and I am now 34, so I have experience caring for animals. I am currently working full time but am free Thursday evenings through Sunday evenings. I am available to stay overnight on those days or do several check ins during the day.

“I LOVE having Tessa care for Darla. She's very attentive & I love that she brings her own pup along for play times. Would definitely recommend Tessa to anyone! 💚”
Natalie B.
“We love Natalie! Natalie not only took exceptional care of our 2, “4-legged children” Boe, laid-back, lovable Springer and Porter, who is an energetic, lovable Lab; she also watched over our home and cared for our rooster, Raymond and chickens. Natalie is responsible, as we needed her to give meds to our Porter from her surgery. Knowing Natalie was at our home and with our babies, my husband and I were able to thoroughly enjoy our vacation. Highly recommend Natalie to care for your Family fur babies!”

Stephanie M.
“Stef is a kind, patient, and extremely responsible pet sitter. She took care of our two demanding cats at her apartment for a week while we were out of town last summer. One cat required twice-daily oral medication - no fun for us as her owner, much less for a pet sitter, but Stef did it with ease. On the day of our return, she brought our kitties home and got them settled in - one less thing for us to worry about.”
