About: I have had a lot of experience with dogs over the years and am just getting started with pet sitting. My priority is providing a safe and caring home for your pup while they are in my care. I currently have a yellow lab mix who loves other dogs. I have some experience with high energy dogs, nervous dogs, giving medicines, and helping finicky dogs eat. I work full time, but have a flexible job that will allow me to let your dog out as needed. Our routine includes three walks a day so I will make sure your pup is exercised. I am home evenings to spend with your dog. Weekends are the best times for me to board and your pup will be sure to get a lovely walk or hike! I have a comfortable and dog friendly apartment and access to a fenced yard/private dog park to play in. My yellow lab will love to keep your dog company, play, or show your dog the best places to nap. I can be flexible with whatever care instructions you need.
About: I love animals and have been taking care of family and neighbor pets since I was young. I previously worked at a veterinary clinic and have experience taking care of dogs of all size and ages! We have an active 6 year old golden retriever, and a 9 year old cat who we love very much! I am a 1st grade teacher, and love to spend my summers taking care of pets. I am home all day in the summer, and can make sure dogs get plenty of attention and outdoors time! We have a fenced in yard and a friendly golden retriever who loves to meet other dogs. We like to take walks on the trails around our neighborhood, and play in the backyard.
About: I am a student at Iowa State University, eager to get some good puppy love. After moving from northern Illinois, I miss my family dogs dearly and want to help others with their dogs and give them the attention they deserve. Growing up, I had many dogs and cats, ranging from small to very large dogs. I am also experienced handling less friendly dogs, and am good at making connections with them. I’m currently working part time as a customer services representative at Iowa State’s Recreation Services and do research remotely in a lab at the university. I tend to be able to do early mornings or afternoons! My apartment is safe, secured by multiple locked doors and is regularly cleaned and uncluttered. At a clients house, I am sure to respect your pet’s way of life and the house rules as well.

About: I have been around cats my entire life and understand the responsibility that comes with caring for them. I currently have two cats of my own who are truly spoiled and deeply loved! When caring for your cat, I will ensure their litter box is clean, their food and water are properly maintained, and they receive plenty of playtime and attention.

In addition to pet care, I also offer light household cleaning services for an additional fee.

In this role, I've had extensive experience in animal care, including handling, feeding, bathing, and administering medications to all types of dogs and cats. I currently have one dog and two cats. I feed them both morning and night. I typically take my dog outside 3-4 times a day to go to the bathroom and play. I would treat my client's pets like I would treat my own, with love and care. I try to remain patient and calm, and take it slow if a pet isn't listening. I will always ask the client if the animal has any special needs and ensure those are met. I will also ensure that the animal feels safe and comfortable with me.
About: I have always been an animal lover. Growing up my parents bred golden retrievers and I currently have a golden that my family and I adore.

I would care for your pet the same way I do my own - walks, play time, and plenty of cuddles. I live on an acreage, but it is not fenced in. I would keep your dog on a leash outside to because it will not know the boundaries. But we will go for walks and my dog loves other dogs and will be so happy for a visitor.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Beaver
About: I live in ogden iowa but can travel to the des moines area to pick up pets! This is what I do for a living, so I will always be home with your pets! I live on an acreage with a large fenced in back yard. I was born and raised a farm girl! Have 25+ years of experience with all types of animals including livestock, dogs, cats and small animals!!! Animal lover to all big and little! Im an energetic person who will give your pet all the loving and play time they need!! I do not take pets who are not house broke. I'm a full-time college student getting my degree online in psychology. I'm home all the time and love to cuddle with fur babies. I'm a home body so don't travel or go places very often. I have a fenced in yard. I give dogs lots of walks and play time. I also have a very large finished basement that is wide open for playing in when the weather is bad.
About: I grew up caring for dogs my entire life so far, and cats/exotic animals later on. I had a golden retriever from ages 0-10, two Bichon Shih Tzu mixes from ages 11 into my late teen years, and a mini golden doodle and Bichon poodle mix from my teens until i moved out at 18. I also grew up keeping exotic animals since age 8 with help from my parents, and started caring for them on my own since age 16. I have kept frogs, toads, an anole, and even a praying mantis! My partner and I currently have a Husky/German shepherd mix, 3 cats, a bearded dragon, a red eared turtle, a day gecko, and an american toad. I am well versed in caring for all kinds of reptiles and amphibians of all habitats, including arboreal/tropical, desert, aquatic, etc. When it comes to feedings, any kind of feeders/bugs don’t scare me😅. I currently work part-time, and am a full time student. I am doing online college, and working towards a business management degree. My coursework is online, so my schedule is pretty flexible when it comes to pet care. I am home daily, and my partner has days off on Mondays and Tuesdays. We are both huge animal lovers, and have endless love to give! I live in a 3 bedroom condo, with a partial non-fenced backyard, so I would be walking any dogs on a leash. We have 3 cats, so we have 2 litter boxes in the house for use.
“Angela and her family are absolutely wonderful! Daisy loves spending the day at their house while I am at work and she receives plenty of treats, love, and playtime when she is there. Angela is always quick to respond to requests and accomadating to our puppy training pursuits. If you’re looking for a reliable, convenient, and caring dog sitter, look no further!!”
“They are so lovely! A massive yard for Ace to run in which he definitely needed. Her dogs are so friendly and playful. Her children are also very helpful and respectful in asking if they can give my dog one of their dog toys. Will definitely be coming back!”
“Samantha is so great to work with! She follows directions perfectly and takes excellent care of all the (3) dogs we’ve had her sit for (doggie day care). She communicates effectively and timely and we never have to worry.”
About: I’ve taken care of fur babies of all kinds since before I could walk. I grew up with a dog and cat always in tow. I lived in the country, so learned fast that the world can be hard for an animal, thus beginning my rehab ‘career’. As I got older, I pet sat for neighbors and family friends. In my mid 20s I trained as a vet tech, prepping animals for surgery, giving vaccinations, nail trims, etc. Until the ISU Wildlife Clinic closed, I volunteered there, learning more care for wild native animals. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, I can’t imagine life without animals. I currently have a senior border collie named Lola, she has arthritis so sometimes she needs help getting around and I’m always willing to help my girl. I also have a senior cat. Currently I’m a doordash/grub hub driver, so I literally am free 24/7 to care for your pets! I will prioritize Rover over delivery, so I can work with any schedule you need. I’m available for repeat needs (several walks a week, drop ins, etc). I live in a duplex with a yard. For me to board a pet, they would need to get along with my dog, and she can honestly be a bit grumpy meeting new dogs, so I feel going to the client’s home would be best. I will respect your home and follow whatever instructions you have for the care of your pets.
“I left my two dogs with Katrina for an entire day while I had a work commitment. She was very pleasant, professional, and thorough in making sure I felt comfortable leaving them with her for the first time. She communicated throughout the day and was flexible when I had to pick them up later than planned. Working with her was a wonderful experience for me and my boys.”

“Our dog was happy and relaxed when we picked him up. It seemed like he had a fun afternoon and it was clear that he was well cared for. Thank you Tilaine and family, and extra thanks for working with us on such short notice!”
“I was referred to Mallory when my last doggie daycare person moved out of town recently. I'm so glad she did! Mallory is amazing! So many pictures and videos throughout the day and I can tell Misty had so much fun that she wants to sleep for the rest of the day! Gives me and my husband peace of mind that Misty is in good hands when we are both at work. :)”
About: I have cared for dogs and animals since I was 10. Family and neighbors alike have relied on me to take care of their animals, whether it was drop-in visits, walking, or daycare; I did it all and have excellent experience raising my fur babies. I love animals, and I cannot wait to make your life easier! I am a senior at Iowa State as a triple major studying English, Criminal Justice, & Technical Communication with aspirations of becoming a multi-genre author.

I offer other services as well, so I try to make my home as comfortable and safe as possible for my personal pets and my clients' fur babies.
“I was visiting town for a work trip and was beyond impressed by the care and communication! My pup Barley is older and just had surgery - it was so wonderful leaving him without worry, knowing he would be extra loved and cared after during the day!”
About: I’ve had animals my whole life, as a kid we had four dogs at one time and I was out there walking each one of them every hour or two. I’ve always had a passion for every kind of animal, big or small, skinny or fat. At the moment I have a cat, who is well trained around other animals of all kinds and love to play with others as well. If you want someone who is dedicated to care for your animals I would be the one for you, if your animal has a set schedule for everyday just let me know. I’m currently working part-time on DoorDash so I don’t have a set schedule because I make my own hours for that so if your looking for a pet sitter and believe that I would be great for your pet message me 1-2 days beforehand and we can get it set up! I am willing to walk dogs/cats every hour (or less) if needed. I rely on u to let me know feeding schedules of your pets preference and I stick to that.

“I was visiting town for a work trip and was beyond impressed by the care and communication! My pup Barley is older and just had surgery - it was so wonderful leaving him without worry, knowing he would be extra loved and cared after during the day!”
“Shweta was amazing with my three month old puppy. He looks forward to seeing her! Shweta took the time to chat with me on the phone prior and was great with any special directives for the puppy. It was a very easy and pleasant experience! 10/10 recommended! Definitely eased my mind while leaving him for the first time :)”
About: Seasoned dog owner offering full-time pet care you can trust. My passion for animals started early—even before spending summers volunteering at the Ames Animal Shelter as a young girl. Every opportunity to pet sit for family and friends had me thrilled to spend time with animals.

I’ve also worked 1.5 years in veterinary medicine at a vet hospital, gaining hands-on experience in animal health and care. 🐶 Services I Offer: • Dog Walking • Doggy Daycare • Boarding • Pet Transportation ✓ Extended stays and special requests welcome ✓ LGBTQ+ friendly 🌈 With over 15 years of dog care experience, I’m confident and comfortable with pups of all sizes and temperaments.

I worked at a pet store for a year, caring for everything from ferrets and snakes to hamsters, chinchillas, bearded dragons, and tropical fish. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out!

I’ll keep you updated with plenty of pictures and videos—and we can even FaceTime if you’d like! If there’s anything else I can do to make your time away from your pets easier, just let me know.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Beaver
About: I used to work as a certified dog trainer and managed a daycare / boarding facility for 2 years. I was an employee there for longer. 12 hour days every day with dogs of all types. I know how to administer medications, including insulin. I also know how to handle myself in emergency situations, I've learned dog first aid and I've broken up fights in my time that would've been deadly if I wasn't there. I am currently a general contractor making my schedule very open, my wife loves helping with pets of all kinds as well which allows for more care opportunities. The only thing that wouldn't likely work would be multiple days of house sitting IF I am not able to leave for 3-4 hours at a time. I have a hard time spending an extended amount of time not being able to see my infant son! I'll do whatever someone wants for their pet, assuming it's reasonable. I'm okay on multiple large walks, extended play time outside, anything like that is 100% okay. From dogs- cows- fish we would love to help provide dependable care and always ensure your pets are treated with the upmost respect and attention they deserve!

About: I have had my own dogs my entire life and have always been the one friends and family have called to care for their pets. I love all animals and have never met a dog I don’t get along with. I treat all animals the same way I would treat my own and have formal education in animal body language. I am currently self employed and have all of the time in the world to spend helping out others with their pets. My only day that I have reduced availability is on Sundays, but I am available before 2pm and after 8pm. I am willing to do late nights as well if needed! I have a dog who gets along wonderfully with all other dogs! I have a small fenced in backyard as well as walking trails near my home. I have dog seatbelt straps in my car if your pup needs transport and plenty of room to put a kennel in my car if needed!

“Katrina and her family were great! They watched our dog Lucy for about 4 days, and during our time was extremely communicative and accessible for photos or updates. She was also extremely flexible when our travel plans had to change due to flight problems during our trip. Felt like our dog was well cared for, and had a great time with her pups and family as well! We will be back for sure!”
“Brooke and Brent were a delight to work with. I admittedly had a last minute booking and they were very gracious. Their family was very welcoing to my dog and they were a delight to with. Very grateful to them and happy to enthusiastically recommend!”
“Nicole was a great sitter. Rowen was happy and well taken care of. This is the first time she had been left for this long with a sitter who wasn’t a close friend and we were anxious. Nicole put our minds at ease, sent pictures and updates. She answered all of my nervous Nelly questions. We will definitely be calling on her again.”
“Amanda was so great with our pups! She was always keeping us in the loop with our pups and gave us such a peaceful trip knowing our pups were having such a great time with her and her family! Would definitely use her services again and recommend her to anyone!”
“Steve and Tilaine were the best host to our rescue pup. Steve sent us pupdates and pics. and lila was the best/ chillest doggie companion for our buddy. We felt like our dog was made a part of there family. Im so excited our pup has a family to stay with next time we’re in Ames!”
“We absolutely loved having our Weimaraner, Hollis stay with Jacquelyn and her family! We felt so comfortable leaving her and Hollis enjoyed her time with them as well! There was never a doubt that she was safe and in excellent hands with them. We will definitely be rebooking with Jacquelyn every time we need to leave our Hollis.”
“This is Coco’s 3rd stay with Amy & Casey. She loves going there and comes home exhausted from a full stay of play, walks, and even a pool party once 😁. She loves their dog Duke! We highly recommend Amy & Casey and look forward to Cocoa next stay!”
“Angus received All-Star treatment from the whole family! I appreciated the pictures, up-dates, and the meet-and-greet we scheduled a few days before we left. I look forward to returning when we go on vacation this summer!”
About: I have had a lot of experience with dogs over the years and am just getting started with pet sitting. My priority is providing a safe and caring home for your pup while they are in my care. I currently have a yellow lab mix who loves other dogs. I have some experience with high energy dogs, nervous dogs, giving medicines, and helping finicky dogs eat. I work full time, but have a flexible job that will allow me to let your dog out as needed. Our routine includes three walks a day so I will make sure your pup is exercised. I am home evenings to spend with your dog. Weekends are the best times for me to board and your pup will be sure to get a lovely walk or hike! I have a comfortable and dog friendly apartment and access to a fenced yard/private dog park to play in. My yellow lab will love to keep your dog company, play, or show your dog the best places to nap. I can be flexible with whatever care instructions you need.
About: I love animals and have been taking care of family and neighbor pets since I was young. I previously worked at a veterinary clinic and have experience taking care of dogs of all size and ages! We have an active 6 year old golden retriever, and a 9 year old cat who we love very much! I am a 1st grade teacher, and love to spend my summers taking care of pets. I am home all day in the summer, and can make sure dogs get plenty of attention and outdoors time! We have a fenced in yard and a friendly golden retriever who loves to meet other dogs. We like to take walks on the trails around our neighborhood, and play in the backyard.
About: I am a student at Iowa State University, eager to get some good puppy love. After moving from northern Illinois, I miss my family dogs dearly and want to help others with their dogs and give them the attention they deserve. Growing up, I had many dogs and cats, ranging from small to very large dogs. I am also experienced handling less friendly dogs, and am good at making connections with them. I’m currently working part time as a customer services representative at Iowa State’s Recreation Services and do research remotely in a lab at the university. I tend to be able to do early mornings or afternoons! My apartment is safe, secured by multiple locked doors and is regularly cleaned and uncluttered. At a clients house, I am sure to respect your pet’s way of life and the house rules as well.
