Dog Sitting in Silvis

“Emma is an awesome caregiver for our dogs! We have a new puppy along with an older dog and she is so tolerant of puppy antics and she checks in providing detailed information. Emma is great!!”

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for most of my life. I've walked and sat my neighbors, brothers, and family friends dogs and cats whenever they leave town or want to have a day trip. I'm currently in my first year of Chiropractic School at Palmer. Pet sitting is one of the ways I like to use my free time. It also fits in my schedule very well. I know every animal is different. I like to get to know them better and build there trust by playing with them or taking them on a walk.

“Grace took great care of my dog during her drop in visit!”

“She is fantastic!! She's patient and very caring. I don't trust too many people, but I completely trust her. She took amazing care of my dog and spent some extra time with her when she was sad. Just an incredible young lady, and I highly recommend her.”

About: I am a current dog mom and have experience with a variety of dogs and cats. I would love to care for your fur kids! I am an active person and enjoy being outdoors. I work full time and nearby with varying hours that allow me to care for pets. I always ensure my dogs’ safety by keeping them in a fenced-in area or on a leash. I value each dog’s unique personality and tailor services accordingly.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ranging from small to very large in the last 4 years. I administer medication every morning to my own dog and I have great time management to fit my pets feeding schedules. I currently work at a daycare every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 1pm-6pm and Tuesday’s and Thursday’s from 7:30am-4:30pm. However I will be leaving that job at the end of July and I am looking for short term employment as I will be moving in the coming months. I have reliable transportation so you would never have to worry about your pet not getting cared for in a timely manner. I also have a crate to use in the car if needed for transporting pets. Although most of my pet care experience is with dogs, I am open to caring for cats and other pets as well!

“She was great! Will use her again for sure.”

“April was quick to respond and did a fantastic job with Duker, getting him outside and sending pics each time. She really put my mind at ease while I was away for the day!”

About: I have been around dogs my entire life. There is no such thing as a bad dogs just bad owners. I have been around fluffy dogs to “fighting” dogs. No dogs are off limits. I do work a 8-4 job but my flexibility within the job is amazing. I am a social worker and a patient person. I love to be surrounded by animals. I do live in a condominium. But it is an amazing area filled with other people and animals. They are loved by many. There is never people not wanting to pet.

About: I've been taking care of dogs of friends and neighbors for years, including my sister and roommate's dog for 5 years. Additionally, I have been working in a hospital caring for patients for a year. I have a passion for caring for all other beings, and I have a soft spot in my heart for dogs. I'm currently taking the summer off before going back to school, so I will have endless time to spend with your pups! I am looking forward to doing some rewarding work caring for animals during this time off. I am willing to travel to your home in order to keep your babies in the comfort of their own place. I am also willing to spend long periods of time walking, playing, and just hanging out with your dog. I am very flexible for whatever their needs may be!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs if every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to check in, feed, and play with their pets! I have a relatively flexible schedule, I so can check in most days at any given time. I’m available most nights and most weekends when needed. I can email crate your dog if needed and am very respectful when it comes to entering your home. I’ve dealt with animals of all types, so will be able to adapt to any interaction.

About: With 5 years of animal shelter experience at the Animal Aid Humane Society, and 1 year of dog boarding and daycare experience at Wags Pet Resorts in Ankeny, as well as countless years of personal pet ownership, I have more than enough knowledge to provide safe pet care for pets of all ages and sizes. I currently work part time as a barista, but have my schedule set in a way that I never work more than 7 hours at a time, so I will always be able to check in on dogs at least three times a day. I keep my summer availability frequently updated, but I will also be moving back to Ames August 1st and therefore won’t be able to do Quad Cities jobs from then until December. When it comes to providing care in a client's home, I like to abide by the client's guidelines first and foremost. As for my personal preferences, I aim to provide all client pets with enriching playtime, as well as one to two walks a day in suitable weather. I am also happy to indulge animals in snuggling if they are comfortable with it!

“We just LOVE April! She always comes through for us, and she loves our animals even though our dog is crazy!”

About: Hi! We’re Lindsay and Matt, just a couple of 30yos who love dogs! Lindsay has always had dogs in her family and always will. She’s been caring for dogs ever since she was little and she has a knack for training them too! Her family loves to send their new pups to her whenever one joins the family. Matt adopted his first dog, Lola, when she was 6 months old and inspired his mom to get a dog of her own. We got to spend 8 wonderful years with Lola, part of that time was learning how to support her in her new life as a tripawed. In our families we currently have 6 dogs (4M & 2F) altogether at family holidays. In our home we have an 8yo male Corgi, Thor and earlier this year we added Stella, a Golden Retriever. Our dream would be to one day run a sanctuary for all kinds of animals 💜 Lindsay’s schedule has some flexibility as she can work from home, Monday through Friday. Matt works Monday through Thursday with some Fridays working from home. Currently, since Stella is still pretty young, we don’t leave her kenneled more than 4-5 hours at a time. So any pets in our care would be in good company the majority of the time. We have a privacy fenced in yard with friendly puppers to keep your pet company if they need some socialization. We have the availability to crate XS to Large breeds, as well as give them their own space within eyesight and earshot if needed. We respect whatever care and rules you may have for your fur baby in your home as well as visiting ours, for example: “fur baby isn’t allowed on furniture at home so please don’t encourage them on yours”. Our pups are big snugglers so they cuddle on the couch with us often.

“Thank you so much! Koda was in good hands and a happy boy when we got home!!”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life. From my own dogs to the alpacas on my family’s farm. I currently have two fur babies. One is my family dog that I helped train when she was a puppy. She was super active and hyper, but now that she is 12 she only wants cuddles. I also have my own dog that I rescued from a shelter. She came from a traumatic background and has found peace and comfort in my home. I have dog sat for many friends and families and have gotten more experience dealing with dogs of various backgrounds.

About: I’m a total animal lover and have lots of experience with many different kinds of animals. I look forward to helping pets feel safe, loved and cared for while their owners are away. I will go the extra mile for your pets ALWAYS! I’m a photographer so my schedule is very flexible with my photo sessions usually only lasting one hour. I am home editing most of the time and free to give animals the quality time and care that they need. I live in a 3 level town house where I have watched several cats and dogs. I have a yard that is not fenced in but two blocks away is a large hidden field where we like to play fetch and sometimes we go several times a day to burn some energy.
