Dog Walking Tiffin

“Kaylee is a delight! She’s lovely and kind, and was such a good sport about dunking his paws in warm water and wiping them. I’m looking forward to being a “regular” on her schedule. Thank you, Kaylee!”

About: I’ve had a cat since I was eight and have been walking dogs for years, along with providing in home care for a few clients. I’m currently working multiple jobs but typically my shifts aren’t very long so I’d be very much able to dedicate time to pet sitting/dog walking frequently! I’m a pet person and so I am very caring and playful with other pets. I’m very comfortable with animals and animals are usually very comfortable with me.

About: I have loved critters of all kinds since childhood. I attended obedience training for my family Rottweiler at age 6, and have cared for many big-breed dogs such as pitbulls, American bulldogs, mastiffs, Great Danes, labs, and more. I have been the trusted pet sitter for friends and family starting as early as middle school, and am also very comfortable around small breeds and senior babies. I have experience with Boston terriers, yorkies, daschunds, beagles, and more. I have and am comfortable with administering necessary meds or topicals for pets with extra health needs. I have also cared for cats, bunnies, fish, and turtles. I am very passionate about rescuing, and happy to discuss any extra care your pet may need due to a life transition like fostering or rescuing. I watched a PETA ad when I was 9 years old and have been vegetarian ever since… I just really love animals! :) I am working part-time from home at the moment, so I am very flexible currently with my schedule. I am typically available in the mornings, afternoons, and early evenings! I have a fenced in backyard, and I do not have a dog of my own. I have a dining area with an extra couch that can be sectioned off if needed for a crate or food. I do have a senior cat who is indoor, who is very friendly with dogs. He grew up around my mom’s beagles, so he doesn’t mind company/energy! I can section off my basement stairs and kitchen for safety if needed. I cannot board any cat-aggressive dogs for my cat’s safety. I do not use any non pet-safe cleaners or pest control in my home.

“Sammy is compassionate, knowledgeable, and professional. She and her pet-loving family provide excellent care and attention. Highly recommend! 🐾”

“I've booked Shae multiple times and she has done a great job helping out with my dog and getting him out for a walk and potty during the day.”

About: I've had dogs and cats my whole life. Currently have 4 dogs: 80lb bernadoodle, 60lb bernadoodle, 28lb bernadoodle and a 22lb golden doodle which I walk at the same time everyday. I have 2 kittens which are fully integrated in our home and get along well with the dogs. I believe love, kindness and patience is the way to be with our loving pets My weekends are wide open so am able to visit and take care of pets multiple times per day. I am physically active so walking isn't an issue. I have a fenced in yard for our dogs and clean up after them multiple times per day. I take all 4 dogs on a walk at the same time everyday for at least 30mins and play with them when I arrive home from work. We have 2 large cat trees in our home which allows the cats to climb, play and sleep. I am always keeping an eye on where our animals are and what they are doing because I love them and want to keep them safe.

About: I have had the opportunity to care for pets in a wide range of settings. These include personal pets, pets at a shelter, assisting in clinic work, and running adoption programs to find the perfect family for furry friends. I have experience in caring for multiple pets at once, whether that is taking them out for walks, or separating for feeding. I currently work part time and can easily add your pet care around that routine. Weekdays and weekends are not a problem. I have my own personal transportation and can easily come and go. I believe the regular routine is extremely important. Let me know what your pets schedule looks like and any specifics. I’m here to meet that schedule and special needs.

About: Work training ESA animals for 1+ yr. I love working with dogs of all sizes. I follow a (direction, correction, praise method) of training. Cat are also welcome I currently have open availability. Please reach out and we can make plans that fit your routine and schedule. Open to making multiple visits a day. I make sure water is always available and trust my pets to be out of the kennel most of the day. I potty at least once every 4-6hrs. And feed after first potty in the morning and in the evening.

About: I grew up on a small farm in Iowa always surrounded by animals - indoor and out. As an adult I've had a shihpoo, yellow lab, and now have two lovable German Shorthair Pointers. Our old man Benson (11) and energetic pup Luna (2) are lovingly referred to as snuggle pigs. And they get ALL the snuggles as would your fur babies in our house. I'm able to care for puppies - seniors and am more than happy to follow any and all instructions to ensure your fur baby is given the top care. I have an odd work schedule as I take 24 hour call shifts where I'm often home. I will only accept sitting requests for times I'm available to provide adequate care to your furbabies! I have a fenced in yard for those staying with us. We have a lovely neighborhood for dog walks and am flexible to provide whatever else might be warranted for your pets stay.

About: Hi! I'm Jamie! I work full-time as a hairstylist, but I've always loved animals and wanted a fun way to spend more time outside while helping busy pet parents. I have experience caring for my family's dogs and have loved getting to know each of their different personalities. My parents have a small/medium-sized dog who I've watched while they've been out of town, including caring for him for a full week on my own. I also regularly spend time with my sister's two larger dogs on weekends, letting them out, playing with them, giving them lots of attention, and of course getting in plenty of cuddles! I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and treating every pet as if they were my own. I'll always send photo updates and let you know how your pup did after every visit! I'd love the chance to meet you and your furry best friend! I work fulltime as a hairstylist, so I plan my pet care around my work schedule and only accept bookings that I can give my full attention to. I'm available for walks and drop-in visits during my available days and times, including evenings and weekends. I'm dependable and will always make sure I have enough time in my schedule to give your pup the care and attention they deserve. Your pet's safety, comfort, and individual needs are always my top priority. Before each booking, I'll ask questions about your pet's personality, routine, training, leash behavior, reactivity, triggers, and how they interact with other dogs, cats, and people. I want to understand what makes your pet comfortable and what situations I should be aware of before we head out. For walks, I'll follow your instructions regarding leashes, harnesses, and walking routines and will keep your pet supervised and secure at all times. I'll never let a dog off leash unless you've specifically asked me to and we're in an appropriate, safe area. For drop in visits, I'll follow your instructions for potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and cuddles. I'm also comfortable giving oral medications such as pills when clear instructions are provided. I'll make sure doors, gates, and other entry points are securely closed before leaving. I know every pet is different, so I don't assume that one approach works for every dog. I'll take the time to learn your pet's needs and follow the routines and boundaries you've established for them. I'll also send photos and an update after each visit so you know how your pup is doing!

“Katie is great! Very communicative and my boy is always very excited to see her come by.”

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and have cared for dogs for friends over the years. While I don’t have formal training or certifications, I bring a lot of heart, patience, and playfulness to every pet I care for. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I’m all in. I know how important it is to feel like your pet is safe, happy, and loved while you’re away—and I’m here to provide that kind of care. I work for the Iowa City School District and have the whole summer off—so I’m looking for something fun to do, and what’s better than hanging out with animals? I’ve got plenty of free time and would love to spend it walking dogs, giving belly rubs, and making sure your pets are happy! I do everything I can to make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved in their own environment.

I know how important trust is, so I’ll keep you updated and make sure your pet gets all the attention, play, and care they need while you’re away.

About: I’ve watched many dogs and two cats over the past 4 years usually over family friend vacations. I’ve worked with reactive dogs as well as two young puppies. I spoil my dogs and would be happy to treat your pets with just as much love! I am a part time college student so I have a TON of time to pet sit! As I prepare for dental school in the fall, I will also be free for summer work. I love staying with dogs in either an environment they are used to or my own depending on what the pet parent prefers! There is a fenced in dog park behind my apartment that is never occupied where I run around with dogs. If it is occupied, I would walk around the park nearby with lots to smell on the trail. I also love giving dog baths, so that could totally be included!

About: I have been working with dogs since 2016. I consistently bring fosters into my home, watch friends dogs, and am always looking for the next dog to help.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have independently cared for dogs on many occasions. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and reinforcing basic routines.

About: Although I don’t have any pets of my own, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for pets belonging to friends and family. These experiences have allowed me to spend time with different animals, learn their individual needs, and provide them with care, attention, and affection. I understand how important it is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away, and I would treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. I’m currently flexible and available throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. My availability may change, but I’ll communicate any scheduling updates promptly. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll provide a calm, caring environment, follow your instructions closely, and respect your pet’s routines and individual needs.

About: I have had dogs and cats in my life for as long as I can remember. In addition to my own fur family, I've watched several other's fur babies for the past 10 years. I work from home, so I'm home the majority of the time. That means your animals always get the attention they need, plus always another animal for companionship. I don't have a fenced yard, but I ALWAYS tether or take them out on a leash when at my home. I do like to give treats like kongs for added stimulation as well. I do have crates or have room for crates for sleeping or if they need alone time.

“Katrina has been so kind and helpful already! Easy to get along with and flexible and just jumped right in to help a fellow single mom. Super grateful 🤎”
