Dog Walkers in Urbana, IA

About: Hi! My name is Danielle and I can't wait to meet your four-legged fur-baby. :) I’ve had pets my entire life and for the past three years, I’ve started caring for others in addition to my own. I have experience caring for dogs with special needs, and of all different sizes and breeds. Plenty of feline experience too! If you have an athletic or active dog, I am the host for you!!! Trips to parks (on and off leash), and visiting nature trails are my jam. If your dog is less active, I can bring my activity level to where your dog is most happy and comfortable. I work full-time from home, but I have a flexible schedule to care for the needs of your feline or canine. For any scheduling concerns, reach out and let’s start a conversation. I live in a farmhouse with a few acres of land, so I offer lots of running around and play time! I always keep the water bowl full and am always willing to offer your pet a bath (if you'd like.) My main priority is a happy and healthy pet for the duration of care while maintaining your peace of mind with plenty of updates and pictures. If I sound like a good fit for your fur-baby, I'd love the to meet y'all and let's play fetch! Please note, I only board one family's pet(s) at a time unless discussed otherwise.

“Pamela was wonderful with Nala. She made time to meet her before their walks and was patient while Nala was nervous the first couple of nights.”

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.

I currently have my dog living with me here in Cedar Rapids, & 2 cats back in Indiana living with my parents. I am comfortable with any size dog & weight. I am also comfortable with medications if necessary! I am currently unemployed so I have all the time in the day or night for whatever your pet needs! I am very comfortable with whatever your pet needs whether it’s constant attention & playing for 2 hours, or even the ones who prefer to have their own space & only need check ins. Whatever your pet needs I am happy to provide! My dog is spoiled to the max & I ensure your pet will receive the same treatment! I am down for just opening a door to let them out in their backyard or walks around their neighborhood!

“Landon is so chill & sweet with Trygve, my sweet Norwegian Elkhound. Tryg loves to "scent walk" and is a big boy and tends to pull very hard ( & I'm a small person), so this has been a win-win for us! Welcome to the family, Landon!”

About: I grew up on a farm in Iowa taking care of a variety of animals and it's turned into a passion very quickly. As an adult aside from my own pets I worked for a dog groomer for 5 years and heald many titles! I was personal assistant/ lead bather/ weekend boarder/ vacation boarder for clients going out of town. In my personal life I also did many rescue and rehomes for mainly cats and dogs. Working with animals has helped me so much to have a better understanding of them and how they communicate their comfort zones. I have worked with the sweetest and most cuddly animals to very aggressive and anxious animals of all sizes and breeds over the years and have only had to turn down services a handful of times while offering an owner safer suggestion that could work for them and their fur children. If you are wanting to work on your dogs social skills with other dogs I've got that covered too! My traveling companion is a 8 year old boarder collie mix named Bunny. She is completely submissive to all sizes and breeds. I've worked with her many times with introductions and she is very patient. 🙂 I am free nights and weekends for walks and boarding. I will be attending school M-F 7 to 3:30 so anytime after this I am available. My personal dog is a senior so she does have a special diet. My background in working with animals I am comfortable giving any medications they might need if scheduled at my time of service. I'm open to following any instructions or rules you would like me to as long as I feel that I have built enough trust with your animal to provide this if you are not present.

About: I love dogs! I have grown up with dogs and had my own or as long as I can remember. I am attentive, detailed, consistent, and reliable. I provide quality care and take great care of your dogs. Also included is doggy doo pickup when I drop in at your home. I will also keep a written log of your dog’s feeding and bathroom schedule so that you know how he or she did. I am available every day of the week. My children are older and also trained in dog care. My home is safe, spacious, and loving. I am flexible on times. Thank you for considering my pet sitting and drop-in service. We service the Cedar Rapids, Center Point, Independence, and Vinton areas. I hope you consider my service!

About: I’ve been raised around dogs since I was born. I’ve owned multiple dogs until they were in their old ages. I am experienced with cats dogs pigs and other smaller animals. I offer daily walks, a ton of belly rubs and attention. We have another young dog with high energy. We love giving out treats. Your dog is safe with me. I offer daily walks. I offer tons and tons of belly rubs. I am super active and we love going To pet co and petsmart. I work full time out of home but my wife is full time in the home. We allow couch surfers and bed snuggles. She has her own rover so she’s background check certified as well. We will tend to any food or med needs.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was eight years old. I come from a ranch in Oklahoma and so I have experience with multiple different kinds of animals. I am very fond of all types of dogs including band types as in pitbull‘s and Rott Weilers and many more. I do not mind bathing pets and I love to walk outside even during the winter. If you have a strict schedule I can follow that too. I am a healthcare worker from the University of Iowa hospitals and clinics and I also work as a CNA through a local agency . So taking care of things is kind of second nature to me. Pet care would start by seeing if there is a schedule that the owner sets out for me to follow or I will follow basic care needs if the owner requested that I am willing to do it if supplies is provided I also love to take dogs on walks so I do not mind doing that also. I live in an apartment that has plenty of trails and walking areas near it. I am also willing to come to you to watch your dogs and to take care of them. I love all shapes and sizes. I am also open to taking care of things other than cats and dogs.

About: I've been taking care of dogs from a very early age. My mother is the founder of Deafinitely Dogs! - a service dog training non-for-profit facility that I frequently help with.

I am willing to work around your schedule to make things as easy as possible. Currently, I am unable to provide boarding services at my house due to our rescued kittens we have. Other animals tend to stress them out.
