“I had to leave the country for about 3 weeks due to my personal business and I asked Jason as always to care for my babies. I heard the weather was crazy here in Iowa on the first week of February, to the point where cars couldn't move. He notified me thoroughly throughout the whole 3 weeks which made me very comfortable. When I was out of contact due to time difference/internet issue, he still kept helping me out with suggestions and waited for me to respond which could've been a long burden. He truly TRULY cares about the pets, not because of business but from his heart. I really appreciate your help Jason. Thank you so much for the great care.”
“Gracy loves it here. She gets excited coming down the lane and runs straight for the house like it was her own. We used the pick up option this time and watched on our house cams as our dog ran straight to Sherrys vehicle and jumped right in. It's a relief to know she has no hesitation about spending time here!”
“Avery was great! I was in town for a wedding and Avery was extremely flexible with me as I needed to make last minute changes for my pick up and drop off time! She communicated quickly and sent us picture updates of my dog Rambo! I would definitely recommend her to friends and family!”
“Stacy did an AWESOME job with my 1 year old (LARGE) dog, Jemma. She worked with her on commands that we'd been working on and gave her lots of love! She sent pictures every day and was very easy to work with. She is great with animals and was able to watch Jemma for a week while I was travelling - what a life saver she is!!!!”
“Laylah was so great with our dog! We felt great leaving him with her, because it was clear he was loved and well taken care of. When we dropped him off for his second stay with Laylah, he was so excited to see her again.”
“So glad I had Lindsey to watch my little doggie! She was quick to respond to my request, and took the time to get to know my Molly and her routine. Even with my senior dog’s needs, Lindsey was excited to watch her. When I picked her up, they had been cuddling and cozy on the couch, so sweet! My picky Molly was so at ease, I was amazed! Can’t wait to use Lindsey as my sitter again.”
About: I’ve always loved animals, and caring for them has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember! For the past 4 years, I’ve worked hands-on with all kinds of animals at an animal sanctuary, giving me experience with animals of different ages, personalities, and needs. I’ve had dogs my entire life and have experience raising and training puppies, as well as dog sitting for family, friends, and others. I’m comfortable caring for multiple dogs at once, including puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with special needs. I also have experience giving medications and making sure pets receive the extra care and attention they need. One of my most memorable experiences was caring for a baby goat in my home for 6 weeks! I bottle-fed her, cared for her around the clock, and made sure she was happy, healthy, and comfortable. Experiences like this have taught me how much patience, responsibility, and attention to detail goes into caring for animals. What sets me apart is that I genuinely treat every animal like they’re my own. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable handling everything from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra TLC. Whether your pet needs playtime, exercise, training, medication, or simply someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. I work part-time, which allows me to have plenty of flexibility in my schedule for pet care! I’m available after 3 PM on weekdays for walks and drop-in visits, and I’m available for boarding on weekends. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and provide consistent, attentive care while you’re away! For boarding in my home, your pet will have access to a fully fenced-in backyard and a safe, comfortable environment. I also live in a walkable area, so I can provide nice, long walks when the weather permits. I’m happy to accommodate your dog’s individual needs and routines, including crate use, feeding schedules, medications, or other care instructions. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own, and I’m respectful of your belongings and your space during drop-in visits.
“Our dogs LOVE staying with Dillon and Shadow! They always come home super exhausted from playing the entire time. Dillon loves our pups like his own. He is very responsive, sends pictures/updates, and was able to accommodate giving our dogs special food and medicine for stomach issues. Highly recommend for any pet sitting needs.”
“Mary is literally the best pup sitter. She takes such care of our pup like he is her own. You can tell her heart belongs to the dogs she sits for by how she takes care of them. You won't be sorry for choosing Mary.”
About: I am college student who is pursuing their dream of becoming a Veterinary Technician. After my schooling, I want to further my education and become an animal behavioralist and dog groomer. I used to clean houses for my mother's business. From time-to-time people would ask if we could watch their pets while they were away. We took this opportunity! Who wouldn't? I have experience in nail trimming and some grooming too. I also like to keep the home tidy while owners are away. Whether that is for a day or a week! A clean home and a clean pet! What is better than that?! Your needs will be met along with your animals. If they want belly rubs, they get it! If they want to go for a walk, we do it! I attend college but in between classes or days I have off, I make room for animals who need to be cared for. No matter the circumstance, I will be there for your pet! I care for the well-being of anyone's pets. If they need a bath, they get a bath (at the extent of your permission). If they are rambunctious, they can have a ball outside for a walk with me! If they need love and attention, they can get all the snuggles they want!
“Joe was really great with my dog who has separation anxiety. He took the time to let her get comfortable and trust him. He also checked in throughout, which gave us peace of mind!”
“Savannah was quick to communicate and accommodated our schedule. Norman settled in right away and even snuggled with her dog! Savannah is very patient and great with animals. We hope to be back in the future.”
About: I am a responsible college student athlete who is very active and loves to be around pets. I have grown up with 1-3 pets in the house my whole life, and I have learned to take care of them to the best of my abilities. I have gotten used to doing the many duties involved with taking care of a pet, including picking up waste. My summer is busy enough to create a schedule to keep me organized, but I have more than enough free time to take care of your pet(s)! I have always been a lover of bigger dogs, which is the size of dog I have the most experience with, but I have been a dog-sitter for small dogs too. I am open and comfortable with a variety!
“I left my pup with Alysha for a week and could not have better things to say about her and the care she gave my dog. I am usually a bit anxious leaving my dog with anyone but was so comfortable because I knew that she was being treated like a part of her family. I got several pictures a day and my pup seemed so happy. Would definitely board my dog with her again and recommend her to anyone!”

About: I’ve interacted with all types of animals and shadowed at veterinary clinics since I was a child. In the past few years, I’ve startedi helping pet sit for friends and family for periods ranging from a couple of days to a few weeks. I work 8:30-5 M-F, but have an hour lunch everyday. I have availability and reliable transportation before and after work hours as well. I make sure to follow owner preferences and safety precautions. This can mean making sure a dog stays away from other animals during walks, or making sure there is no trash around the house that the pet could easily get into.
