“Madison took great care of our cats! Both cats loved her, which is a pretty big deal since one is typically afraid of most people. This was the first vacation I've had in a long time where I could fully relax, because I didn't have to worry about how my pets were doing. We will be repeat customers!”
“Briana is always reliable and provides thorough reports and several pictures when she’s caring for my cats. I love being able to leave my cats in her care and never having to worry about them or my house. My cats love her. I appreciate her neatness and never come home to a mess. 100% recommend! Thank you Briana!”
“She has a special touch for sure. Our cat has a fear of strangers however, I received photos of Morgan brushing our shy kitty. Morgan was the perfect person to care for our pets.”
“Megan was a wonderful sitter! We had a power outage that messed with our automatic feeders, and she came back to the house to get them working properly. We are so grateful for her help and would recommend her services to anyone!”
“Kendra was absolutely perfect! We had her check on our cat while we were gone for a week. Kendra sent daily photos, as well as an update on her food, water, and demeanor that day! She even watered my plants for me! Highly recommend, and we'll definitely use her again in the future!”
“While we debated having someone come check in on the cats while we were going for two nights, we are glad we had Sara come. We ended up having a water leak with water dripping through the ceiling. Sara let us know about this and put towels and bowls under the drips to lessen the damage from the water. Thank you, Sara! :)”
“I recently boarded my two cats with her on short notice, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! Lisa was incredibly accommodating and went out of her way to ensure their needs of privacy and attention. The space for the cats was clean, spacious, and had great views for them to enjoy. Thank you so much and I look forward to future services!”
“Cory took great care of my cat while I was away. He was always on time and very professional. He sent photos and replied quickly to my messages. Thanks again Cory!”
“Rachel was great with our cats while we were away. She was able to give out medicine with no problems. She even had our shy cats coming out to check her out while we were gone.”
“Grace was great to work with! She let us know how her visit went with our cat and he posed for pictures for her. It’s so nice to know Axl is well cared for when we’re gone for a while!”
“Emily is so awesome! She checked in every visit and took excellent photos. I didn’t have to worry about my cat at all because I knew she was in good hands. We will definitely re-book with Emily in the future! :)”
About: I spent most of my years in college and grad school pet sitting or house sitting for my professors. I am the go to person to check on pets in my family/friend groups and I look forward to it every time! I work from home Mondays/Fridays so would be able to come any time, and have an hour long lunch break M/T/W when I'm in the office. My weekends are wide open with plenty of time for walks, playing or cozy visits in. I'm an experienced dog walker, I've taken large dogs who like to pull and small dogs who want to turn around before they get out the door. I'm cautious around other pets in the neighborhood, and have both hands on the leash at all times. I'm a big fan of letting them sniff everything we pass, but will not let them eat those pesky acorns.
About: Hello! My name is Sarah, but I go by Sam. Thank you so much for your consideration! Ever since I was a child, I’ve always loved having pets. There was hardly a time when I didn’t have some kind of companion in my life. Growing up, I had a variety of different pets, but most of my experience is with dogs, cats, birds, and rodents! However, I love all kinds of creatures (I’ve even had tarantulas)! These days, my boyfriend and I share an Aussie named Newman that we love to spoil. I’m a former doggy daycare attendant and dog groomer, so I have some experience handling pets of varying energy levels and temperaments. I also have some experience with pets that have special needs. I’m currently unemployed in the traditional sense, so I’ve got a lot of free time on my hands. I do volunteer with Iowa Bird Rehabilitation sometimes, but my main focus right now is pet sitting. It’s something I enjoy doing, and I’ve found that I get the most joy out of spending time taking care of client’s pets. Some day I do hope to go to school for something animal behavior or social service related, but I’m still trying to figure that out! I’m very understanding and adaptable to whatever schedule you’ve got set for your pets, so that they still have the sense of security that comes from having a routine! During house sittings, I offer overnight care to ensure your pets have someone to care for them around the clock. I always keep a close eye when at home with the pets to ensure nothing goes awry, and I always make sure they are safely secured if they need to be left alone for a period of time. Water is always made available unless otherwise specified. I love to spoil pets with treats when I can but I’m very good at following instructions if they have a strict diet, physical limitations, medications, etc.
