“Jeanette was amazing! There are very few people I will leave my baby boy with. She did amazing. She was willing to come and meet him and he is high strung but she was still willing to deal with his size and personality. We will be requesting her if we need again.”
“Jess was such a great choice to watch my Sammy boy. We were gone from 5/22-6/1 and had no idea it was getting VERY warm here in Iowa. We did not yet have our window air conditioners in. At one point, it got to 85 in our house. I was able to have a neighbor install the window ac’s. Jess was concerned for Sam and offered to stop by to check on him (on a day that wasn’t originally on the calendar). I truly appreciate her doing that! We were in Florida and that helped eased my mind!! We’re already set up to have her take care of him later this summer. Thanks again Jess!”
About: I am an animal lover! I currently own two young vizslas and two adopted cats. I do live with my parents so my animals are well taken care when I take care of yours. I have had cats and dogs my entire life and I am almost 25 years old. I know how to feed and properly take care of any animal. I am willing to follow any directions and trust me no fur baby is too high maintenance. All fur babies are just our fur babies and I will treats yours like my own! I often give medicine too so no need to worry if your baby needs any medicine I can definitely handle that! Feel free to reach out and we can set up a meet and greet! I currently work from home and can work anywhere as long as I have Wi-Fi and luckily I have a mobile hotspot so I can work pretty much from anywhere and anytime if the day or night. I have plenty of time to care for your fur baby. Many times I will let you know when I am at your home and give you an update for each drop in visit. I will send pictures. I will also play fetch or other stimulating games that are available in the home or in the backyard. My focus is to let you know I’m in your home and when I leave. My other focus is let you see your dog/cat so you know they are being well taken care of. The third focus is making sure all requests are being filled such as feeding and medicine and others as requested.
About: I grew up with my favorite dog and had him for 13 years and was my best friend. My passion is dogs and I love spending time with them. I currently work full time so I am available after 4 on weekdays and then available on weekends for animals to stay with me as needed. Multiple walks a day and all the snuggles possible. Feeding schedule based on the clients preference. Play time is important and will play as much as the cute pup wants!
About: Hi! My name is Kaitlyn and I’ve been a full time Vet Tech for the past 4 years and the Lead Tech for the last year. I absolutely adore my job! I know how to properly administer medication and insulin and I’m trained to know when a pet is feeling sick or injured. I work from 7:30am-6pm from Tuesday-Friday I have every other Saturday off and my days off are Sundays and Mondays. You can always message me and ask about my availability! As a Vet Tech, I’m always working with animals at my job daily while I also dog/cat sit as a little side job. I’m devoted in aiding all animals and making sure that they receive the proper care needed in my presence. How I care for your pet will depend on your pet’s health, personality, and what they like to do! All animals are different and have different wants and needs. I’m comfortable and familiar with caring for all pets whether your pet is young with high energy, or if your pet is old and blind. Pets will be watched thoroughly throughout the day and will be let out several times a day to avoid any damages to my property, however; owner’s will be responsible for paying for any damages that may be done by their pet. Urinating and defecating on furniture, chewing on furniture, ripping up carpet, etc. To avoid damages when I’m not home, I recommend bringing a crate that I can put your pet in while I’m away (if they do well in crates). Pets must be up to date on core vaccinations (Rabies, DHPP, Bordetella). They also must be on flea and tick preventative and have a negative fecal check (no intestinal parasites).
About: I’ve volunteered walking dogs at shelters and worked in a vet hospital, giving me experience with puppies, seniors, and providing loving, attentive, reliable pet care. I’m a college student home for the summer with plenty of free time, so I’m available to provide consistent, attentive care for your pet daily or weekly. I prioritize safety by following your pet’s routine and rules closely. During walks and drop-ins, I create a calm, trusting environment to keep pets comfortable and secure.
“Libby responded to my request quickly and was very accomodating with a last minute booking. When meeting with her, I was impressed with her cheerful & confident manner. She was comfortable giving my cat her medications and was happy to give me updates and pictures with each visit. I would definitely trust her in my home to care for Alice again!”
About: I have cared for cats since I was a kid. I am looking forward to being a warm host to their needs, or I guess they own me, so I will be a good pet to them. I can host a cat forever. I am also good with dogs, mostly dog walking. I work from home on weekdays. I can be flexible with my schedule during weekends for longer sittings. Overnight cat sitting is the best. Dog walking is available during weekdays only. I live in an apartment so the pets will mostly stay inside, I will give them a walk as needed for poo, and pee breaks or work from your insight on what your baby likes to do and their schedule.
About: I’ve taken care of many animals since I was right around 9 years old. Many of my friends and family still ask me to watch their animals. I do work a full time job but I work a job that allows me to leave during and I will be available before and after work. I will follow all your directions and make your Pet is very well taken care of. I will treat them as if they’re my own.

“Ashley is awesome. I have a very anxious German Shepherd that doesn't like to be alone or away from his family. Ashley went above and beyond my expectations and we use her every time. Not only did she let him out but she sat on the floor with him, threw his rope, and sent us plenty of pictures. I would definitely recommend her.”
