Pet Boarding Tiffin

“They took wonderful care of my new puppy and senior dog that is fearful of storms. My senior dog was given meds as instructed and I was told DL stayed up with him til midnight to comfort him during the storms. I so loved the pictures they sent.”

About: I've been caring for animals of all kinds since I was 12 years old, and for the past two years I've provided professional pet sitting for cats, dogs, and small animals. My experience includes overnight care, drop-in visits, feeding, exercise, habitat and litter box cleaning, medication administration, and plenty of companionship tailored to each pet's individual needs. I'm experienced caring for both playful kittens and puppies as well as adult pets, and I understand that every animal has a unique personality and routine. For active dogs, I'm happy to include them on walks or runs (with owner approval), while cats enjoy interactive play, enrichment, or even supervised outdoor time using harnesses or pet strollers when appropriate. I also have three guinea pigs of my own, giving me hands-on experience with the daily care and habitat maintenance required for small animals. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or needs extra attention, I'll provide patient, reliable care and treat them with the same love and respect that I give my own pets. Pet care is a regular part of my weekly routine. I work full-time with a flexible schedule, allowing me to accommodate midday drop-in visits for dogs, cats, and small animals for feeding, walks, playtime, litter box or habitat cleaning, and companionship. I'm available for boarding on weekends and most weekdays after 3:00 PM. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, so I strive to provide dependable, attentive care that helps them feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I'll follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, medication, and any special care instructions you provide. I also keep owners updated with regular photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. For energetic dogs, I enjoy staying active and regularly go on morning runs and afternoon walks. If your dog enjoys exercise and you're comfortable with it, I'd be happy to include them in these outings to help keep them happy and mentally stimulated. For pets that prefer a slower pace, I'm just as happy to provide leisurely walks, playtime, or plenty of companionship. In addition to caring for dogs and cats, I have three guinea pigs of my own, so I'm very familiar with the daily care and habitat maintenance that small animals require, including feeding, spot cleaning, and enclosure upkeep. My experience caring for dogs, cats, and small pets has taught me that every animal has unique needs, and I'm committed to providing patient, attentive care tailored to each pet's personality and routine.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and currently have a friendly 4-year-old Lab mix named Maverick. I also volunteer with local animal shelters, giving me experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, energy levels, and personalities. As a medical student, I’m used to staying organized, following detailed instructions, and paying close attention to routines and behavior. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether your dog needs lots of exercise, extra patience, medication, or just a comfortable place to relax, I’m happy to tailor their care to their individual needs I’m currently a medical student, and much of my coursework can be completed from home. This gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care throughout the day. While my schedule varies slightly week to week, I’m generally available for frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals, and plenty of companionship. I make every effort to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible while you’re away. For house sitting, I do have one requirement during the school year. I have my own friendly 4-year-old Lab mix, Maverick, who would need to come with me. He’s well socialized and enjoys other dogs, but I completely understand that this isn’t the right fit for every home. If your dog enjoys having a canine companion, I’d love to discuss whether it would be a good match during a meet and greet. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor play and exercise, and I only board one guest dog at a time so they receive plenty of individual attention. I also have a friendly 4-year-old Lab mix who enjoys other dogs when it’s a good fit. I always take introductions slowly and make sure both dogs are comfortable before allowing interactions. I’m happy to accommodate specific feeding schedules, medications, crate routines, and any other instructions that help your pet feel at home.

“Ashley was the perfect doggy sitter! Rusty loved their backyard and daily walks together! Ashley was wonderful at sending daily updates and pictures and was easy to communicate with. She was also very willing to let my pup make himself right at home. I will definitely book again if needed!!”

“Our dog had a great stay with Kaylee! He seemed happy when we picked him up. We also had to extend our stay and Kaylee was very accommodating. I would definitely recommend her for watching your fur baby.”

About: I have had pets in the house as long as I can remember. I love animals and adopt all of my friends animals whenever I get the opportunity. I have also volunteered at SAINT cat shelter in Cedar Rapids! I am a student at Iowa studying Psychology! Every day is a little different, but my schedule allows me to have breaks throughout the day to go home for lunch and hang out with my cat! In the evenings I like to spend time with my friends or work on my art or music. I live in a studio apartment in Iowa City. I am very type A, so I tend to keep things very clean and with my school schedule, I can make times to check in several times throughout the day.

“Max and Suki had an amazing time at Auden’s! She was great caring for them and giving them lots of love. She also sent us frequent updates. We will definitely use Auden again next time. Thank you for everything!”

“Ashley was very accommodating and flexible and understood that Hank was stressed when we left him. She let him snuggle for comfort and made sure he had what he needed to settle in. We will use her again. Thanks, Ashley. We appreciate the care you gave Hank.”

“Left my 3 dogs with him and can say It went great! I got daily updates and felt comfortable knowing they were in good hands, I would definitely board again! Thank you So Much, Nathan!”

“Steve was fantastic for Danny Boy! Several updates with photos each day and very conscious of Danny’s needs. Prompt replies to texts and questions. Daily walks at nearby parks and evening fetch in the yard. Steve’s home is well-suited for hosting animals and Danny was very comfortable. I picked up a healthy and happy boy on the final day!”

Kat K.

“Christian was wonderful! Extremely responsive, easy to contact, friendly, and organized. He sent us updates throughout the stay and we felt very relaxed knowing our dog was in good hands. Highly recommend!”

About: I have grown up with dogs and animals of all sizes my whole life! I currently have a family dog back at home in Illinois (cavachon, 6 years old) who I miss taking care of deeply. I am in med school here in Iowa city for the summer and have very flexible hours, weekends, and payment choices! As I mentioned earlier, I am an ultrasound student in Iowa City Monday through Friday from 8am-5pm. I have certain days off through the week / available almost every weekend! I live at a graduate student / health care worker apartment complex with a dog park and lots of grass and greenery / walking trails all around the complex! Very animal friendly buildings. I also live alone and have a lot of space!

“Our little Ronnie was comfortable with Sana the first time he met her. She gave him her undivided attention the entire time he stayed with her. She walked him over 2 1/2 miles during the day and we believe he loved every minute of it. She even got up at 3 am with Ronnie to make sure he got outside to go potty. She sent photos of Ronnie so we could see how good he was doing while we were away from him. We highly recommend Sana and we will be looking for Sana, first, every time we need a dog sitter for Ronnie. Thank you Sana!”

Robert & Fayetta S.

“Faye and Robert helped us out with a last minute sitter for Kaia. They sent us timely pictures and updates. Kaia enjoyed her stay and was well cared for during her stay!”

“I was nervous using Rover as it was our first time. Aimee watched my dog for 9 nights and she and her family did an amazing job looking after our dog, including walks and playtime. I highly recommend Aimee as she is a caring and compassionate provider.”
