About: I have taken in aggressive and puppymill dogs. I have had at least 100 dogs through my home either as rescue, transport or sitting. My family loves all dogs! I work 6 hours per day temporarily but my husband comes home at lunch. If dogs require walks we can do that. We separate everyone at meal times to keep safe. I have fenced in large yard. We have some rescue dogs that are super friendly and used to new dogs visiting. Pets can be on sofa, bed and anywhere you would like them.

“We have used Maddie for about a year now to watch our cats. Maddie is an expert at caring for them and it really shows in the details for the care she provides. We have a cat with special needs and we feel super comfortable leaving them in her care. She’s really thoughtful in everything she does, is a great communicator, responds in a timely manner, and is super fair with pricing. I love having her around and would always be willing to give her any kind of reference she needs”

“This was my first time using Rover and Amanda will surely have us as returning clients! She went above and beyond for my boys and I am extremely satisfied with her service!”

“We could not have asked for a better pet sitter for Walter while we were away. Megan went above and beyond during every drop-in visit to make Walter and us feel comfortable. She made sure he was fed and cared for and also gave him genuine attention, playtime, and affection. We received thoughtful updates and photos that gave us so much peace of mind on vacation. It was obvious how much she truly cares about animals, and Walter absolutely adored her. We will absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!”

About: I live on a farm back home & have over a decade of animal care of all kinds! I have many farm cats and two dogs at home, as well as two cats that live with me! I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes & would love to spend time with your best friend! I would especially love to hang out with dogs as I don’t want to get my own until I can give them a fenced in yard:) My boyfriend Gabe also helps out with the pet care! I am pretty free all summer & I can give as much or as little attention as your pet requires! I’m available to do random walks throughout the day or stay full time at your residence to give 24/7 care to your pet. I would like to follow your routine as much as possible, so honestly whatever you do with your pet I will copy! It’s important to keep their routines from changing frequently!

“Carol is so reliable and sends lots of pictures. My cats really like her and it's nice to have someone they know rather than a different sitter every time. Carol is very quick to respond to new requests.”

About: I've taken care of dogs specifically since I was like 5. Whether it was a friend's dog, a family members or my own. Cats I have taken care of since I was 8. Changing litter? Done. Walking dogs? Done. Training? I do that too! I actually trained my own service dog who has since retired. Feed and water? Of course! Gotta get the essentials. Following directions, I will follow how YOU want your pet(s) taken care of. I have dealt with chihuahuas to great Danes to dogs bigger than that! No animal is too small. I will pick up messes, play with them, train them if you want, and obviously feed and water them. I can even stay over night with a pet if needed! I know some pets need extra support when their humans are a away, and I understand that may mean me staying over night. I have two dogs and two cats. I take care of the two dogs on a daily basis. Cats? Not so much but I do help out when asked as they are not actually mine but my roommates. I take my dogs out at LEAST 3 times a day typically more in warmer weather. But I take them out at least once when I wake up, once after or before lunch, and once before bed after they've ate their dinner. My dogs have stomach issues and only eat once a day near dinner time for me. I get them out more often to play now that its warming up outside In my clients home, as I don't do boarding at my own home, I can bring my own dog if asked for a play buddy but I would like a copy or to see the vaccination records to be safe. I will make sure the animals get some time to play and have plenty of attention while I am there. I will make sure dogs get outside to potty on either the specified schedule from my client or on a schedule I am able to run, but they will get out as much as I can make happen. Cats I'll make sure get some play time, if you're the kind of cat person who let's their cat out on a catio or leash or trust your cat out on its own for a bit I can make those happen too. I will make sure they have fresh litter when needed/requested. I will make sure both cats and dogs have fresh water and food on a schedule determined by the owner or when its needing refilled/changed.

About: I’m a veterinary technician with emergency and critical care experience, and an Equissage-certified canine massage therapist. I notice things most pet sitters don’t. I understand that boarding can disrupt a dog’s nervous system. Some dogs do better at home while you’re away, and my massage therapy background means I have techniques that genuinely help calm and settle an anxious or overstimulated dog in their own environment. During drop-in visits and walks, I’m assessing your dog the whole time. Gait, energy, behavior, subtle signs that something’s off. You’ll hear about it either way. I’m experienced with medically complex dogs, seniors, and anxious dogs, and equally comfortable with your healthy, bouncy lab who just needs a solid walk. Cats are absolutely welcome. Cat owners, I see you. Your cat has a whole life, a whole routine, and very strong opinions. I get it. Fill me in on the Royal Treatment and I’ll do my best to make sure it happens. I look forward to meeting you and your animal friend(s) soon. 🐾 I offer drop-in visits and dog walks seven days a week. Visits are typically 30 minutes. I send updates with photos at every visit so you know exactly how things are going. I’m a veterinary technician with emergency and critical care experience. I know how to recognize when something is wrong and what to do about it. All dogs are kept leashed on walks unless we are in a securely fenced area. If your dog jumps fences, we do not go off leash outside. I do not combine your dog with unfamiliar dogs without prior owner approval. I come to you. Drop-in visits and walks take place in your home and neighborhood, which means your dog stays in a familiar environment with their own smells, sounds, and routine intact. I treat every client’s home with respect and leave it exactly as I found it. For drop-in visits that occur at dark or during nighttime hours, I may occasionally have another person with me. This is for my own safety.

“Came in very last minute and was so ready to watch our fur babies! Very helpful and sweet to watch them. Great job 😊”

About: I've been surrounded by dogs my entire life and truly can't imagine a home without them. My passion for caring for animals led me to start pet sitting during the COVID pandemic, and what began as a way to help friends and neighbors quickly grew into something I absolutely loved. Over the years, I've cared for pets with all kinds of personalities, needs, and routines. My experience includes overnight boarding, long-term stays, doggy daycare, drop-in visits, daily walks, grooming and bathing, and caring for recurring clients who became like family. I'm also comfortable administering medications and following any special instructions needed to keep your pet happy, healthy, and comfortable. A few years ago, I stepped away from pet sitting to focus on one of my children's health needs. Now that life has settled down, I've been excited to return to something I've genuinely missed—spending time with animals and helping pet owners have peace of mind while they're away. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. Whether your dog loves long walks, endless fetch sessions, cozy couch cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I'll make sure they receive the same love, attention, and care that I would give my own pets. I believe communication is key, so you can expect plenty of updates, photos, and check-ins while your pet is in my care. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family members! ❤️🐶 I just moved back up to cedar rapids and I am currently a PRN CNA where i choose the hours i would like to work and i also am a Wedding Coodinator on some weekends out of the year. My schedule is very open and flexible to whatever your needs are! I do live in a house now and while i dont have a fenced in yard, I live in a community where its safe to walk around and there are plenty of dog parks near by!

About: I've been taking care of animals since I was 13 and there was no limit too what I had at home I've taken care of them all I'm currently looking for another job cause I quit my factory job so I currently have open availability any time your pet need a sitter I'm your guy I stay in apartment with a nice park right up the road and other dogs stay within my complex my neighbor has a 1 yr old husky and she is the nicest cutest thing

About: Hi, I’m Raven! I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always had a deep love for animals. As a dedicated dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet’s care. I treat every dog as if they were my own, providing plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while ensuring they feel safe and comfortable. I have experience with dogs of all ages, including senior dogs, and I’m comfortable administering oral medications when needed. I currently own a Catahoula Leopard Dog, so I’m familiar with energetic breeds and the importance of daily exercise, enrichment, and consistent care. I currently work as a Family Support Specialist and have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable pet care throughout the day, including walks, drop-in visits, potty breaks, and companionship. I work both from home and in the office, giving me flexibility to accommodate your pet’s needs. I cannot have other dogs in my home due to my Catahoula Leopard being protective. I have always kept an eye on dogs when they go outside and I even go outside with them to allow them to go the bathroom and also play with the them.

“Talia was great and pleasant to meet. She was on time and reliable and took great pictures of the dogs. We will try to work with her again in the future!”

About: Drop ins: I’ll take your dog on a little walk before feeding them and spending time with your little furry love (20-30 minutes or so) Walking: I’ll take your pooch for a walk and/or run for as long as they require. House sitting: we will go on walks, snuggle, eat and I will be respectful of the owners home- clean up after myself and the animal so you come home to a nice clean home and you don’t have to rush to take care of your beloved fur baby! Boarding: not my preferred method of watching your pooch but if it’s absolutely needed, I can accommodate to make your pooch feel warm and welcome in my home.I have 2 large male dogs and a 2 year old- they’re great but getting older and less tolerant of other dogs.

About: Dogs have been part of my life since childhood, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’ve owned and cared for both small and large breeds, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and care needs. I spent years volunteering with All Breed Rescue & Training in Colorado, where I gained experience supporting rescued dogs. For a year, I traveled across the country providing in-home pet care through TrustedHousesitters, staying with pets in exchange for room and board. This allowed me to care for dogs in many different homes, routines, and regions—learning how important consistency, communication, and trust are when owners are away. Today, I share my home with my own small dog, so I understand firsthand how much your pet means to you. Whether your dog needs playtime, structured walks, companionship, or just a calm and reliable presence, I treat every animal like they’re part of my family. I currently work remotely from home and have a flexible schedule. I am available for drop in visits and walks in the middle of the day and check in on your baby. I treat every dog like my own but also respect every dog's individual needs. Whatever approach or structure is needed to make your pet happy, I am happy to follow.

About: I have been talking care of family and friends animals since the age of 10 and still to this day. From walking to feeding to bathing, and grooming I have done it all. I wouldnt be the person I am today if it wernt for being around and taking care of animals. Pets make my life so much more enjoyable seeing them happy them showing love in return. I have a Morkie who is the biggest lover on this planet. She is great with other animals and will keep them great company. I also use to train dogs when I was younger and have had the privilege to train all of my family and friends pets. So if your fur baby is in need of a little extra help I would be thrilled to work with them! I am currently a stay at home mother who has lots of time and love to give and would be honored to care for your fur baby. I have a fenced in back yard and a very loving and friendly fur baby to keep your pet company and lots of toys and love to give little one

“Tiffany was great about a last minute booking. She took great care of our cats and kept me updated. The cats were happy and healthy when we got home!”
