Cat Sitting in Shipley

“Kelley was nothing short of amazing! She handled everything perfectly and was consistent and on time. It was a great feeling to know that my fur babies were being well taken care of. If you want someone that pays attention, is on time and great with animals.. call Kelley!”

“Allyson was a wonderful caregiver for my Sunny boy. She sent pictures every day and seemed to capture every mood of his. She is a polite young woman who cares about animals and it shows. My Sunny warmed up to her and let her pet him. I would recommend Allyson if you’re looking for someone to take care of your fur babies while you’re away. I have complete confidence in her and would use her again. 😽👍👍”

“Izabelle showed a lot of interest and care for our cat at our initial meeting. She was very dependable and followed our care instructions. She sent several photos of our cat after each visit, though I did have to prompt her to send me messages as to how our big boy was doing overall. She immediately complied, though the messages were brief. When we arrived home it was nice to find our home just as we had left it, as well as a a happy cat who obviously had not missed any meals or treats. I would definitely use Izabelle again”

“Eleanor took great care of my cats and followed instructions closely! She also sent photos at every visit and was easy to communicate with.”

“She did a very great job taking care of my babies. She actually made another visit in between times so they wasn't inside to long. Highly recommend her. I'd definitely have her do it again if she is available. Great job”

About: I've been a registered vet tech since 2020, but working in vet clinics prior to then, and house sitting/daily check-ins for even longer. I am also fear free certified and CPR certified. I can easily adapt to your kiddos needs. Animals are my passion. I grew up on a hobby farm, so I've handled all sized dogs and cats from neonatal to geriatric. I would love to meet you and your kiddo before I take care of them. This way I can learn about your kiddo and their needs. I work from 7 am to 6 pm. I alternate between weekends and weekdays every other month. I am flexible and willing to see what I can do to help care for you babies while you're away. I prefer at least 1-2 weeks in advance notice. I have a fenced in yard for my two German shepherds. I also created a large rabbit pen for my rescued Mini Rex. My husband and I built a large coop and pen for our chickens. I take my boys for walks on a local trail especially on cool days. I always monitor the weather to make sure they are comfortable on their walk. I would be happy to provide the same care for your pet! I will offer all the approved treats and get as much activity in as possible to assure your baby isn't stuck at home full of energy.

“Emily was fantastic!! She gave little updates with each visit so I knew exactly what was happening while we were away from our lil guy. I highly recommend and will be using Emily from now on!”

“Josie is a great pet sitter! She was responsive to messages and proactive about setting up a meet & greet. She took our lab out for some long hikes, gave her lots of playtime, and sent us in depth report cards after her visits. It's comforting to know a vet student is taking care of your pet. Highly recommend.”

“Super thankful for the care our cats got this Thanksgiving weekend. Great updates and communication!”

Sylvia S.

“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!”

Beth P.

“Claire was wonderful with our fur babies. She sent photos to keep us updated and worked to make friends with our smallest one who was shy. So appreciate Claire and her help.”

“Devin and Kelsey were amazing with our anxious schnauzer for drop in visits while we were away. They went above and beyond to comfort her during their visits. I highlight recommended them and would rebook in the future.”

About: I’ve grown up around animals and have experience taking care of my own cats and dogs. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and giving pets the attention and care they need to feel safe and happy. I genuinely love animals and will treat your pets like they’re my own. I’m available weekdays and Saturdays with flexible scheduling. I’d love to help care for your pets and make sure they feel safe and happy. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment by following each pet’s routine, giving plenty of attention and care, monitoring behavior closely, and I will make sure pets feel comfortable, secure, and happy while in my care.

About: Hello! I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life even though I’ve never had any of my own. This includes looking after and taking care of family members’ pups while growing up. Other than family, I’ve watched the same dog on multiple occasions, including two separate 3-week stays where I was responsible for feeding, walking, playing, and keeping him company. One of those stays was in my own space, so I’m comfortable managing a dog’s needs independently and keeping up with their routine. I don’t currently have pets of my own, but I’m very attentive, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I offer drop-in visits, walks, and in-home sitting, and I’ll send updates and cute photos of your pup so you feel at ease while you’re away. I work from 12–8 M-F, so I’m available in the mornings and later in the evening for walks, drop-ins, and check-ins. I can also do overnight house sitting depending on the situation. On weekends I have more flexibility and can spend more time with pets or do multiple visits throughout the day. I’m pretty consistent with my schedule, so it’s easy for me to plan around a pet’s routine and make sure they’re taken care of. I know every dog is a little different, so I try to stick as close as possible to whatever routine they’re used to. Whether that’s specific feeding times, walk schedules, or just how they like to hang out, I’ll follow what you leave for me. I’m pretty mindful in general, so I’m always making sure doors are locked, they’re not getting into anything they shouldn’t, and they’re safe and comfortable the whole time. I’ll keep you updated while you’re gone so you don’t have to worry, and I’ll treat your home and your pet with respect. My goal is for you to come back to a happy pet and everything exactly how you left it.

“Thanks for helping us out with the dogs while we were at the game! Allowed us to really enjoy it and not worry about rushing back. Much appreciated.”

“Kevin has been helping us with my aunt's cat who needs daily medication. He is professional, friendly, quick to respond, and most importantly, Cleo is getting her pills. He also sends us a photo of her after each visit which we find funny (she doesn't look too happy after being pilled but she does have a lot of attitude!) and also comforting to know she is being taken care of by someone who knows what he is doing and enjoys it.”

About: I have always loved animals and caring for them. I grew up taking care of mostly dogs, but I have experience with other animals like cats, goats, guinea pigs, and hamsters. I love meeting new animals and helping care for them. I am currently a student at Iowa state but am available all day Tuesdays and Thursdays and weekends. I’m available in the afternoon on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I cannot provide boarding because of the pets I have at home, but I can visit pets or stay overnight with them at their homes. I’ve stayed in ankeny overnight a few times but prefer to stay in Ames due to my classes being in the morning.

“Great job!”

“Roswell was incredibly kind, caring, and communicative. She took great care of our puppies while we were out which gave us peace of mind. We will absolutely trust her to care for our fur babies again.”
