About: Beyond the care for my own personal doggies, I have 5 years of experience working at a premier doggy day care and boarding facility, Camp Bow Wow. Here, I cared for many dogs at once all varying in breeds, size and ages. I was responsible for supervising play time, feeding, administering medications, basic grooming and cleaning. I have also had experience with my own personal pet care boarding service out of my home where I have mostly cared for dogs in my home but have house/farm sat for clients. I'm currently in veterinary school so my schedule can be sparse at times. I am available on the weekends as well as Wednesday mornings with the potential for some afternoon care the rest of the week days. I care for others pets just as I would my own. When I care for pets in their own home, I love and care for them just as I would mine and uphold any special request the owners leave for me. I like to send photos and precise updates to owners while caring for their pets. I can relate to the desire to hear from a pet sitter since I have my own!
About: While I've had pets my entire life, I've professionally cared for the animals of others for nearly 10 years. While I was in the Army, I fostered for a local rescue and did the basic training and socialization for young, abandoned puppies to get them ready for forever homes. While pursuing my BS of Animal Science at ISU (Class of '19) I worked at Lloyd Veterinary Medical Hospital with equines of all ages, and spent several years as professional Animal caretaker working at the USDA with small animals. I have experience with dogs and cats, young and old, as well as rodents and other small animal pets, geckos, and freshwater aquarium fish. I am semi-retired, and work my own hours part time so schedule is flexible and it's easy for me to fit your pet(s) into my daily life Your pets will be most comfortable in their own environment, and I am committed to caring for them in a way most similar to what they are accustomed to.
“It was the first time I hired a pet sitter. Lauren was really great, she reassured me and answered all my questions. She followed all the necessary instructions, and also played with my cat. Every time she was visiting she sent me two photos of my cat and a brief description of the day. I'm got more than I expected. We managed to spend our holidays without constantly worrying about our little fur baby.”
About: I have grown up with pets all my life, starting at the age of 7. My family currently has three dogs (one small and two medium) that I care for regularly. I am able to walk the three on a lease comfortably and have played a large role in training them. Although I prefer dogs, I grew up with a cat that I loved and cared for. I am able to provide compassion and care to a variety of pet personalities. With years of experience caring for cats and dogs, I understand how important it is to find a sitter/ walker you can trust. Whether your pet needs playtime, a dependable routine or just company, I’m here to provide loving and reliable care. I just received my Doctorate of Physical Therapy in May and am currently studying for the licensure exam that will be at the end of July. My availability is open as I have the freedom to adjust my study schedule as needed. I care for pets in their home by meeting them where they are at; literally and personality wise. With three dogs of my own at home, I am unable to watch your pet outside of their home. In caring for your pet in their environment it helps reduce stress and attempt to maintain any form of routine they have. I am considerate of multiple personalities and consciously make an effort to accommodate the pets needs. With dogs I have watched in the past, I attempt to give them familiarity with their routine, within mine and their comfort. I walk familiar roads/paths, feed them on their schedule (if possible) and attain to any of their needs. I will use any devices/ equipment you typically use and will prioritize safety outside the home (using leases, collars, etc.).
About: Hi there! We’re Justin and Esther—animal lovers with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. Justin is an author who’s had pets his whole life, starting with a sweet cat named China, who had a litter of kittens he raised until their passing. Today, we care for Lunae Lux, our energetic Siberian Husky, and Fayth, Justin’s affectionate cat. For Esther, being surrounded by animals was always a dream—and marrying Justin made it a reality. It’s allowed her to bond deeply with both Lunae and Fayth, fulfilling her lifelong wish to share her days with furry companions. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or training, we’re passionate about giving every pet the care and love they deserve. Animals are the first and most important priority of the day, afternoon and night. They are like children in that aspect, or fur children as people say. My cat and dog get along very well. I have trained my Siberian Husky to be more understanding and caring to smaller animals such as cats.
About: I’ve taken care of animals of all shapes and sizes for as long as I can remember, and it has instilled in me a deep love for animals of all kinds. I have extensive experience with dogs of all sizes and cats of all temperaments, and can also administer oral medications. While I have experience with both cats and dogs, at the moment I only have a 5 year old cat named Atticus. He is up to date on all of his vaccinations and is my best friend. He’s very friendly and acts more like a dog than a person. I have had experience taking care of my own and other animals for my entire life, and I would love the opportunity to take care of yours ! Although I am a full time college student, I have quite a bit of flexibility in my schedule ! I’m willing to work holidays and weekends if needed. Occasionally I have other obligations but I will let you know if there is any conflict ! I really value respecting an animals boundaries and keeping them on a routine. This means regular feeding, playing and down-time to make any animal in my care feel more safe and comfortable !
“Erryne was wonderful. Very professional and great with our dog. She has a veterinary background as well for those who have pets that need extra care! We will surely use her again in the future!”
About: I have been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember, primarily dogs, but my experiences also include caring for cats, a bird, a rabbit, guinea pigs, and a gecko. I believe that providing care and compassion for animals is essential, as they deserve the same love and attention that we extend to humans. I have 3 small dogs of my own, my work schedule is flexible so I’m able to go home and let them out and play during the day. I care for them as if they were my own, a lot of love and snuggles and a lot of play outside! I think it’s important to show them the most attention
About: I currently have a cat and a dog of my own, but I have always had at least one pet ever since I was a kid. I love working with dogs to train them, as well as spending lots of time cuddling and playing. I am comfortable grooming dogs. I love pets of all ages, but I have a soft spot for senior pets. I currently work as a caregiver all day Mondays and Tuesdays. I also draw and work on art a lot in my free time. I participate in various art markets and exhibitions throughout the year, but have a lot of free time aside from those days. I don't have a fenced in yard and I have a dog and a cat so I typically don't offer to host other pets at my home, but I am happy to spend some time with your pets in their own home where they should feel the most comfortable. I can take dogs on long or short walks, take them to a dog park, or just spend time with them at your house. I can bathe, brush, play, and cuddle your dogs. I am not a certified trainer, but I can work on simple commands and behavior modification. It's up to you how you prefer I help take care of your pet!
“Calvin joined our family about a month ago- my dog Charlie, as well as son Sidney, and I have all grown accustomed to and enthusiastically welcome Calvin's presence in our home. Charlie looks delighted every time Calvin comes over, and the pics he sends to me of he and Charlie playing brings a smile to my face knowing that even though I can't be there myself all of the time to play, I find comfort knowing that Charlie has grown to love Calvin in my absence. And...the fact that Calvin served in the US Army is an additional bonus, as I know he understands the importance of responsibility as well as accountability.”
About: Hi, my name is Alexia and I'm here because, like you, top quality pet care is my priority! I grew up around animals, and have always been passionate about their well-being. While my long term goals are more focused on conservation, I've found that dogs bring me back to my roots and give me such joy, and I hope to return that favor. I have a BS in Biology and Animal Behavior, Ecology & Conservation. In total, I have about 10 years of professional dog-related experience in various settings. I've also worked in a zoo, a veterinary clinic, a dairy farm, and on a horse farm. I have two years experience with dog boarding, and three years experience in dog daycares. I have also been employed as a dog bather, and can perform services such as nail trims and ear cleanings, among others. I have about five years experience in training and I am certified in pet first aid. In my free time, I love hiking and photography, and I'd love to take your kiddo(s) along for an adventure! I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends. :) I am a full time graduate student, so my availability changes often. I am open most days, but at different times, so please contact me for details and we can work something out! I have an extensive background in training and working with dogs in all environments. I have worked with dogs of varying skill levels, including untrained and "stranger danger" dogs. No matter the layout or size of a home, my goal is always to set your dogs up for success. The safety of your pets will always be my first priority.

“Katie watched my two cats when we left for a vacation. One of the cats is old and has GI issues. Katie was very patient with her, keeping me informed of appetite and upset stomach via text when they occurred. She also sent me happy pictures of both cats, which eased my mind. She was willing to come over twice per day, which made a difference for the cats as I could see they were relaxed when we returned. Her attention kept them healthy and unstressed, and allowed me to enjoy my vacation!”

Holly H.
“I’ve known Holly for over 5 years, and she is one of the greatest people I know. We worked together for two years and even lived together for a year, and she was always respectful, responsible, and considerate as a housemate. Holly has pet sit for my cats numerous times over the past 5 years, and she has always gone above and beyond - whether it be sitting with them for hours on end so they don’t get lonely, to sending me and my husband pictures and videos of our fur babies so we know they’re okay. From very specific feeding times and routines, to medication administration, she’s done it all for us. Holly is dependable, reliable, and always goes the extra mile. Her heart is huge and her love extends to all animals. Holly is a pet parent herself, and she loves her own pets as if they were people and cares for them with no bounds. I have honestly never trusted anyone more than I trust Holly with my pets!”
