Avery is a great pet caregiver. She always takes great care of my dog while I am away. My dog loves when he gets walked or gets to hangout with Avery.

Melany is a consistent go to for us. I’m hesitant to write this because I want her to always be available for us, but she truly is so great with dogs. Our dogs are always at ease when she’s around and she is so communicative and responsive. We love her!

Taylor did a wonderful job with our dog. He is usually nervous around strangers, but Taylor made him feel at ease right away. She sent us updates and photos throughout our trip and I did not worry about him at all. Taylor cared for him very well, including administering twice daily medication. I absolutely would rebook and would also recommend Taylor to care for your dog.

J was a great house/dog sitter. The dogs were really comfortable with him. At the end of his stay, he provided a day-by-day run down of what the dogs did. I hadn't asked for it and it was quite fun to read.

Lily did a great job looking after our two dogs, no drama, and even our nervous boy liked her right away. Would recommend (and we'll try to get her again).

Neko did a great job with my hyperactive, not well-mannered, very large puppy as well as my older, very nervous dog. He also take great care of my two cats. My older dogs meds were given successfully and the house was cleaner than I left it. Highly recommend for house/pet sitting.

Riley is an amazing person and does excellent with all animals, and especially dogs. I’ve been able to tell that she has a soft spot for all shapes and sizes of pups. She does really good at handling dogs and is always sweet towards them! Personally, I’d trust her to look after any of my puppers.

Cat was fantastic! She took care of my 1 year old dog Lucy and my cat Leon and was very attentive with both of them. She sent tons of pictures throughout her stay and it was obvious she went above and beyond with them! I would definitely book another house sitting visit with her and highly recommend!

About: I am a doctoral student studying Animal Science at Iowa State, I have cared for many different typed of animals in the past from cats and dogs, fish, pigs and sheep! I am in Ames most weekends. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask, I am willing to travel for some openings as well. I have a dog and already in the routine of letting pets out mornings, afternoons and evenings. Since I am used to this schedule I can easily add another dog to my daily schedule. My dog is crate trained and is in his crate when I am out of the house for longer than an hour. I have previous dog sitting and house sitting experience and spend evenings walking dogs that I am watching or playing fetch in the backyard.

McKenna was a great help with taking care of our 2 dogs, cats, and fish. We have a senior dog that requires medicine and McKenna made sure she took it everyday we were on vacation. She even came by the house when our younger dog was stuck under the deck and made sure he was safe and was able to get back inside. I highly recommend her. She is very responsible and kind.

Gina is a caregiver at heart. I have seen this through our 45 years of friendship. Gina has loved on her own pets as well as caring for pets of her friends. I trust Gina with my life and trust her with any animal in my home. Animals sense her love for them. Not only does Gina have a love for animals, but she is trustworthy, kind, and dedicated.
