About: Id love to come back as my own pet in the future. Both my mini aussie and my standard size Aussie basically run the place. Im just allowed to live here. My mini aussie loves cats and playing fetch like it is his job. We take him absolutely everywhere because he has become our baby. Tilly loves every dog and person she's ever met and has a very goofy personality. We have a lot of fun playing fetch or frisbee in our yard. Their toy collection is crazy impressive and seems to be the staple decoration around the house. Come visit to meet our pet friendly home I am a stay at home mom to a 2 year old farm boy and a happy 6 month old baby girl. We love to be outside or go for walks! Dogs are his absolute favorite as they make him laugh and laugh!! Our dogs are early risers and we usually get up with them around 6 am for breakfast! We take them on a walk or have our breakfast with them outside before their morning naps on the couch! They go out as many times as they want and share cuddles and attention throughout the day. They play clean up crew around the baby's meals which is great for all involved! We play fetch after dinner and spend most of the night outside together before the dogs snuggle up with us in bed. And repeat :) Weekends usually consist of a special car ride to get coffee and donuts or just sight see
“Shelby watched my high energy 75 pound Shepherd/Husky mix, and she did great! She gave him a one hour walk each day for nine days and never had any issues. I could tell she is experienced around higher energy dogs. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for a piece of mind while you’re on vacation. I will definitely be using her as a dog walker in the future. Thanks Shelby!”
About: My family has had dogs my whole life. A couple years ago, I started professionally dog sitting and I greatly enjoy it. I'm patient, I learn each dog's personality, and I make sure they have a safe fun time. I currently balance different self-scheduled gig work. Having no set or minimum hours, my time is highly flexible. I can schedule to fit your needs. I keep a careful eye on pet behavior and surroundings. For yards, I make sure fencing/gates are secure and keep an eye the dogs. For walking, I ensure leashes, collars are comfortable but very secure and tied to my arm as a back up. I keep a bottle of water. I can walk fast and keep pace but also encourage the dog to not wear themself out.

About: My name is Meagan and I have loved animals from the beginning of time. I have a rottweiler named Karl and a pit mix named Roman, so big dogs don't seem to phase me. I am in the process of getting my animal science degree from Ellsworth Community College with dreams of vet school in the future. I have a background of dogs of all sizes and ages as well as cattle and equine. I have watched family friends dogs for years, so I have a lot of experience when it comes to animals from other homes. I have never met an animal I didn't like and I'm not about to start now. I look forward to spending time with many more animals that will enter my life in the future.

About: I am a college student and love pets. Currently living in Waterloo. I have had a few cats growing up and still have 2 dogs back home. I currently have 3 cats and are my fur babies! I have not only played and taken care of them most of my life, but also have helped train service dogs at Retrieving Freedom as a part of one of my college classes. Giving them food, baths, and bringing them on long walks, or to a park to play are all things that I have experience with due to being a pet owner myself. I am currently a graduate student and looking for a part-time job. Watching and caring for pets would fit well into my schedule as I have most early mornings, some afternoons and most evenings free. I am a full time graduate college student and looking for a part-time job. Pet sitting works well with my schedule as it changes every semester. I make sure I obtain as much information from the owner beforehand and do meet and greets to ensure safety for when I care for their pets.
