Kirsten has taken care of our boy Murffy since he was eight weeks old. She is very attentive and active with him - taking him for walks and even brings him special treats. He is so excited when she comes to the house and watches out the window when she leaves. He loves her so much! Whether it’s been checkins during the day or overnights, we trust Kirsten to take the best care of our pup.

Arlyn took care of my dog Rudy while my husband and I were on vacation for a week. Rudy really enjoyed the walks and snuggles he got that week! Arlyn kept me updated with daily notes on how he was doing along with cute pictures. Rudy and I were happy with his care.

Gina is the absolute best. She has cared for my senior Boston Terrier for over a year and I have nothing but great things to say. She is so caring and gives me the reassurance that my pets are taken care of while I am at work. She even came over one day to comfort my dog during a thunderstorm. She has such a big heart and I truly appreciate her. Thank you, Gina.

Kimi did such a great job! When I requested a walk she asked if we could do a meet and greet that day, which I really appreciate. She was very personable and knowledgeable about dogs.

My dogs adore Elizabeth! My great pyrenees, while friendly, rarely let's strangers touch him right away and immediately let Libby pet him! She was able to control both my young german shepherd and my great pyrenees on a walk without issue. She even asked if she could bring treats for them that she bought herself. She made sure to put everything back where she found it and made sure that my black german shepherd didn't get too hot on his walk. I will definitely book with her again!!

Autumn is my sister and also the "main" owner of our doggo, Jean. She works at a vet clinic currently and has been for a couple of years now. From what I've heard feom both places she's worked, she's amazing at her job. And amazing with the animals as well. Autumn has always had a soft spot for animals, and that's why she chose her career choice as a vet. She's a vet student now at ISU and is an amazing student. She's a very loyal and safe person when it comes to animals/pet and just in general. She's been responsible and loving towards our dog Jean too. Jean Bean is her whole world(and mine) and she gives all pets the same loving treatment she gives Jean. Thank you, Allison R.

Kenzie has grown up with dogs and cats her whole life. When I travelled for pleasure or work I have trusted Kenzie with my dog. Being that my dog is now geriatric, she has many special feeding and supplemental needs. Kenzie follows her regimen to a tea every time. She shows love, compassion and goes the extra mile to make my dog feel safe while I am away. I highly recommend Kenzie to watch your beloved fur babies!!!

About: I have over 2000 hours caring for shelter cats. I am the guardian of five cats. I'm comfortable around shy cats, kittens, old cats, all cats! I can administer simple medication if needed. I'm extremely patient and will take the time to let your cat get comfortable with me, or back away if your cat is stressed. I would love to play with your cat! I love cuddles! I love chillin' from a distance if that's what your cat needs. I'm a responsible adult and will follow the directions you leave for me. Your trip away from home will be worry-free in my care. I can also provide excellent care for small animals. Growing up I had a summer job caring for rabbits and a rabbit of my own who lived to be 12 years old! I also had a pet guinea pig named Oreo. I have flexible job hours and can work around your schedule. I have a car and am not afraid to drive in inclement weather conditions. With my own cats, I feed them twice per day and give them hours of cuddle time. My experience at animal shelters has given me a lot of experience approaching cats with different personality types.

Isabella is the most compassionate and kind animal caregiver there is! All of my animals adore her (and so do we!). I am very picky with my fur babies, and Isabella is the absolute best person for the job. She is thorough and knowledgeable and truly cares.
