“Danika is a wonderful dog mom as well as a phenomenal pet sitter. She takes great care of her dog, Nellie, at home whit taking her on daily walks around the neighborhood and on trails as well as being sure to give her plenty of play time and cuddles. Danika is one of the few people I trust to watch my cat, whether it be for a couple of hours or for a few days. She does well with following directions and making sure my animals feel right at home with her. Danika has always been timely and incredibly flexible when I need her. I couldn’t recommend a better caring and passionate person to take care of anyones pets.”

About: Hi! I’m Kerri :) I’ve had dogs and cats for pets since I was in preschool. I currently have a 5 year old Teddy Bear dog named Teddy and a 1 year old cat named Merle. They are definitely important parts of my family! Having adopted a puppy in the last few years, I feel like my skills dealing with younger dogs is fresh in my mind. They definitely require patience, love, and understanding - as any child would! The joy of seeing a dog learn and grow has been a wonderful experience. I would love the opportunity to help you out with your pets needs - whether that is dog walking, dog sitting, or cat sitting. If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know I work from home and have a flexible schedule - which is great because I’m able to care for pets whenever required. I understand routine is important and I’m happy to work with pets and their owners to accommodate their needs. I’m happy to provide pet setting services in your home, but I’m unable to care for your pet from my house due to animal limits. Both of my pets are indoor animals. I understand that pets thrive on routine and may have different needs on acclimating to new people in their space. I’m happy to work with pet parents on whatever their pets needs are.

About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life and helped those around me with walking their pets, taking care of their pets, and even grooming! I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and I’m currently studying at ISU to become a vet! I’m currently available weekdays (except wednesday) after 1pm! Weekends I’m available at any time! Because of my own pets at home (a cat and seven birds), I’m not available for boarding. I’m very good at following instructions and will make sure every one of your and your pets needs are met! I love taking my family’s dogs on walks around the neighborhood and playing with them.

About: I love animals so much that I have decided to pursue a degree in animal science! I am currently going into my senior year and have taken nutrition, behavior, and genetics courses. I would like to be able to spend as much time with them as possible so that I could have more hands on experience. By allowing me to take care of your pets, it will not only help you out but me as well! I hope you can choose me to take care of your family member! I will love them like my own! Oh yes, I do have a cat at home but she is very friendly towards other animals and will usually just sleep the day away no matter what is going on. -Thank you so much! I am currently working Sunday through Thursday but will be around at night to care for your animals! I am very flexible and times can be changed if needed! My apartment complex has a very large dog park with obstacles available and socialization opportunities as well! I am also located close to the bike trail so walks are no problem!

My doggie came from a rough background so it has been a long but rewarding road to get where we are today. If you want to know if I have any experience doing something or if I am willing to help with something specific, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I am willing to take care of your pet as much as I as take care of mine. I prioritize their well-being by having a pet first aid kit on hand and providing a stimulating environment with toys and treats. I will even take care of your plants if you are away! I know how hard it is to find someone to do that as well. I set my own schedule so it is flexible. I am free from as early as 6 in the morning until 11 pm most days. The times I cannot do are Mondays/Tuesdays 9-11 am, and Fridays 11:30 am-1:30 pm. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their familiar routine to minimize stress. I adhere to their feeding schedule, take them for walks or play in the backyard, and provide companionship. I also follow any specific care instructions provided by the client, such as administering medications or adhering to house rules. Communication with the client is key, and I keep them updated on their pet’s activities and well-being throughout my visits. My primary goal is to ensure the pets’ comfort, safety, and happiness while maintaining open and transparent communication with the client to provide peace of mind during my care services.

20. Harlie T.
About: I am a loyal person and trustworthy and I’ll do anything to make your animals as happy as can be. I like to go above and beyond to make an animal feel loved. I work from home so my schedule works great with taking care of animals. I prefer not to be staying the night with animals but be with them during the day. In my home I always make the time to take my dog on a walk at least three times a day. I let her play around the yard. I manage when she eats and she tells me when she needs to go potty. With a customers animals I would be pushing myself to follow their routine for their animals as much as possible and push to make sure everything is down correctly.
