Dog Walking Tiffin

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.

“Brooke was awesome! She was attentive and took such good care of our boy koda. If she was delayed slightly she always communicated and made sure it was okay! We will definitely be using Brooke again!!”

About: I’ve been taking care of and loving my own animals and my family’s animals since I was young and they’ve trusted me since I was a teenager to help take care of their animals and walk them when they are gone I take care of my own pets daily and make sure they get lots of enrichment. I love any and all animals and have always wanted to help other people take care of their animals when they need it I have a very friendly dog of my own but not a friendly cat so I will have to pet sit in your home for your pets safety and my cats safety. I make sure my animals are fed and taken care of properly and I’m not afraid to clean up messes when needed

“Would hire Sydney again. She was very punctual and friendly.”

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!

About: I have two mini goldendoodles who are my life. I've had them for over 6 years and they bring so much joy to my life! They love to play with other dogs and I'm always spoiling them. I've watched other pups before, giving them walks, spoiling them rotten. I'm very punctual and care for every dog like they're my own! Currently don’t have a full time job so I have availability all day! If you need a full sitter, they are more than happy to come to my house and spend time with my pups. I'm free after 5PM and on the weekends! I don't have a fenced in backyard but I do have two pups who can keep your baby entertained and wear them out! I give the best cuddles and love as it kills me to leave my pups with someone else so I get it! I can facetime whenever you'd like if it's an overnight stay, whatever makes you feel comfortable! :)

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 stick closely to their usual routines, follow all instructions you provide, and treat your home with the same respect I’d want for mine. 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.

“Alexis has been quick to respond, very friendly and wants the best for your pet. We’ve had a good experience with her and know that we can trust her with our puppy! She does great at communicating when we ask about the day or need to tell her something that wasn’t previously discussed.”

Allison J.

“Robert is very nice and great with our dog Junior. He was easy to communicate with, timely, and even dried off our wet pup with his own sweatshirt! Would recommend without a doubt.”

About: I have always had at least a dog or cat in every part of my life which I was expected to take care of in my household but feeding, walking, cleaning, and letting outside. Which was the best chore of all, and always love each animals personalities. I am currently a student and University of Iowa and often have many gaps in my day that I would love to fill with animals. Especially any excuse to be item my mood and be more active!! I had my own cat all through high school that I took care of by feeding and cleaning litter but also have had many dogs that I fed and would constantly take on walks.

“Ellie is great and I would absolutely recommend her anytime! She walked my dog weekly and was kind, timely, responsive, and willing to add on extra walks!”

About: I’ve always had a natural connection with animals and truly love caring for them. Growing up, even before my family adopted our dog Rylee, I would often visit neighbors just to spend time playing with their dogs, and it’s something I’ve always enjoyed and felt drawn to. Once we brought Rylee home, I learned firsthand the importance of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement when caring for a dog. I also believe verbal communication plays a big role in helping dogs feel comfortable, understood, and loved. Over time, I began dog sitting and walking for neighbors in my community. I’ve provided midday walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship, always making sure each dog feels safe and happy in their routine. As your dog sitter, my goal is to bring that same care, attention, and positivity into your home, so both you and your pet can feel relaxed and confident while you’re away. I’m currently preparing for the DAT this summer before I go back to school at the University of Iowa in the Fall. I plan to dedicate prep time for my early mornings. Therefore, I would be available to drop in for walking or anything else in mid day and evenings I would prefer to be a drop in sitter. I can ensure that I am very comfortable with walking dogs. I have provided care to private residents for dog care and babysitting, and therefore I have a great understanding every family has different needs and I’m more than willing to accommodate with any needs you have:)

About: I've had dogs of my own my whole life. I have cared for a variety of dogs such as administering to my neighbors diabetic dog to caring for my own 100 pound doberman pincher. I am also a certified nurses assistant which as taught me immense skills in caretaking and focusing on the health and wellness of others; skills in which carry over to animal caretaking!! I'm currently working part time and have a pretty flexible schedule!!! My schedule is super easy to work with and I am willing to work around your schedules as well! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I understand that every dog has unique needs, so I take the time to follow each owner's instructions carefully and provide attentive, reliable care. Whether we're going for walks, playing, or relaxing at home, you can trust that your dog will be treated with the same love, patience, and respect that I would give my own.

About: Hi there! My name is Grace, it’s nice to meet you! I’d love the chance to get to know you and your pet, and hope that I can help you with your pet care needs! I’ve loved any and animals my whole life, and grew up with cats of all temperaments as well as both large and small dogs. I've also been pet sitting for friends and family since I was a teenager, so I'm very comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, energy levels, and quirks! I’m also experienced with administering medications to both cats and dogs, including shots, and am comfortable with complex routines. I know that being away from their best friends can be stressful for pets, and I believe keeping their routine as consistent as possible helps them feel safe and comfortable. Whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, playtime, walks, medication, or giving them space when they need it, you can trust that I will take care of your pet as if they were my own! Not only is it my goal to make sure your pets feel cared for and loved while you're away, I also want you to have peace of mind knowing that your pets are safe and cared for! I'll keep you updated with as many photos, videos, and status updates as you like! Feel free to reach out with any questions, let’s chat! :) My work schedule is flexible, which gives me plenty of time to do drop in-visits throughout the week. I’m available for morning and evening visits on weekdays, and I have open availability on weekends for visits. I’m also available for house sitting any day of the week, including weekends. When I'm caring for pets in a client's home, I treat both their pets and their home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I understand that trust is a big part of inviting someone into your home, so I'll keep your space clean and tidy, lock doors and windows, and make sure your pets are safe and comfortable at all times. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are happy and well cared for while you're away.

About: I began providing pet care at 13 years old, starting with friends and family before expanding through social media to serve a wide range of clients. My experience includes dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, medication administration, enrichment, and personalized care. What began as a passion has grown into a trusted, professional pet care service. For more about my background, visit me at Jet Set Pet Care. Animal care is intentionally built into my daily and weekly routine to ensure consistency and reliability for every client. I structure my schedule around morning, midday, and evening care windows to accommodate feeding times, walks, litter maintenance, and enrichment visits. I limit bookings to maintain quality and punctuality, allowing me to provide attentive, unrushed care. Weekly planning includes route organization, client communication, and follow-ups to ensure each pet’s needs are met. Pet care is not a side task for me — it is a priority and a structured part of my routine. I tailor my care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and the specific service requested. In a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal schedule to reduce stress — including feeding, fresh water, walks, litter box cleaning, medication if needed, enrichment, and plenty of affection. I closely monitor behavior, appetite, and overall well-being and provide detailed updates with photos.

About: Paid through ISU business school by being a Live-In Dog "Manny" in exchange for free rent, took care of 5 dogs daily, and rotating foster pups through college. Very clean, responsible, punctual, and trustworthy, have been walking neighborhood pups daily for over 5 years, specializing in walks, feeding, check-in/drop-ins for all furry animals big or small. References available upon request. I work from home with a very flexible schedule, making it easy to run out and check in on your furry member of the family, whether in event of an emergency or daily scheduled visits or walks, whatever fits your needs I am here to help! I have a 6ft fenced in back yard filled with toys and an outdoor dog house for some shade during outdoor play time if your pup needs to stay over, plenty of food and fresh water available at all times, and a camera in the backyard if you wanted to check in on your furry best friend.

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 🤎”
