Personalized care for your dog or cat - Brooklyn

“Christina did such a great job with my Vizsla! She exercised him multiple times every day, sent regular updates and photos, and generally took great care of him. I'd definitely recommend and will reach out the next time I need someone!”

Gabe D.

“I was a little nervous leaving my 8 month puppy with someone that she didn’t know for the first time but Chrissy and her family were great. Sadie got alone great Chrissy kept me updated on how Sadie was doing with pictures and messages. In fact I wasn’t sure if Sadie would want to come home. Lol definitely going to be using Chrissy again if I need to”

Dana K M.

“Our 2 dogs (7yrs & 10 mos) had a great time!! We didn’t have to worry once while they stayed. Drop off was easy, we were given several updates a day, and both pups seemed relaxed and excited to see us when we picked them up. Would definitely go through Sasha again.”

About: I have always been surrounded by pets and animals - I am currently hosting two cats on my lap as I type! - and absolutely love them. My first job as a kid was dog sitting and dog walking for a giant, senior golden retriever and a tiny, spunky papillion. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages and stages (including newborn kittens and very senior, diaper-wearing dogs), plus rats, rabbits, birds, fish, shrimp, snails, and bearded dragons. I am warm, loving, flexible, have a great sense of humor, and have my fair share of cleaning up pet "whoopsies" - all crucial traits for your next pet sitter! I work from home and have an extremely flexible schedule, so can easily fit your pets' schedule into my daily work - including coming over multiple times a day or even spending my working day (or the entire day!) at your home hanging out with your pets for added companionship and care. I am also available for periodic overnight pet sitting at your home! I am highly respectful of your home and the routines you have created there, which are critically important to keep your pets' stress levels low and happiness levels high (and yours, too!). I will follow any standards you have set, will keep the space organized and tidy, and will respect your privacy to the highest degree. Do you not let your dog on the couch? I won't either. Does your cat demand the blue bowl for his food? I'll use it and shun any others. Do you need your door unlocked at a certain time for a delivery? I'll make sure it's done. I am there to meet your pets' needs and your own needs, so let me know how I can help!

“Emily took care of my Bucky for 5 days while I took a trip back to my hometown. She always kept up updated and sent lots of pictures of him ! It help me feel calm and relieved knowing he was in good hands while I was away and was having so much fun with bowser and odie !! I would definitely recommend her for pet sitting your babies!”

About: I have had a pets my entire life, mostly dogs and cats. I currently have 2 labs and 1 golden doodle who roam the yard with our farm animals; chickens and ducks. They are kennel trained and wouldn’t be around customer pets. I have 3 kids who love learning and helping out with chores. They are in extra curricular activities but I would ensure a schedule with you before the time of watching your fur baby. My husband is home most nights and weekends (besides hunting seasons) and he works construction during the day. I am home most nights and weekends besides when I have drill with the Iowa National guard, I work full time with the guard. Our dogs currently have an underground fence but because we have one mischievous lab (Mayble) who likes to convince the other two to go on adventures, we kennel her and our youngest (Bailey, golden doodle) during working hours. Our eldest (Max) is pretty lazy and wonders our yard freely during the day and night without his collar.

“Christina was so helpful and accommodating, even when our plans changed at the last minute. She is very kind and knowledgeable about pets. I will definitely plan on hiring her again!”

Jackie S.

“Roswell is great! Our cats loved her. She sent pictures and videos 1-2 times per day and responded to all communication quickly. We would book again.”

Robyn B.

“Ali took great care of my 3 cats in Age 14 to 10 months. They have different needs but she made sure they were well fed and less stressed while I was out for vacation. I highly recommend her care.”

Yoriko O.

“Chrissy did such a great job with our small pack of beagles. She came to our house everyday to make sure they were well taken of. I can’t thank her enough!”

Sean N.

“Hannah was very responsive & easy to communicate with. I would book her again!”

About: I’ve had cats ever since I was growing up, and I’ve always had a deep love and connection with all pets, but cats specifically.

I have experience caring for cats of all different personalities and am happy to provide and care for your cat the way that’s most like home to them. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, relaxed, and cared for, and giving you peace of mind while away.

“Second time booking with Christina was a blast! She was very attentive to our puppy and sent a lot of updates through out the week.”

About: I've been taking care of my mom's dog when she is out of town for over 10 years. My brother recently got a puppy and I have added her to my list! Dogs are near and dear to my heart and are treated just like a child on our home! I am a stay at home mom to our 2 year old. We are generally not gone for more than a couple of hours, if at all. We live in a nice quiet town and go for walks often. We have a very shaded front yard that we are in a lot. We take walks often and live in a nice town. Our yard is not fenced in.

“We had a great experience with Chrissy! She was very communicative from the beginning through the end of my dog’s visit. I felt comfortable leaving her and received lots of pictures and videos during her stay.”

“Booked for dog walking and I am confident my dog also gives her 5 stars. My dog loved Ali immediately, first sight. Ali is attentive to her and clearly skilled with her. My dog is intelligent and PARTICULAR about leaving me. Notoriously bad at taking commands from strangers. When Ali arrived for just the second walk, my dog was loving her and ready to head out at the first sight of her. And my dog gets long walks every day the weather allows, so walking alone is not the draw here. Ali communicates beautifully with me as an owner, does great follow-up when she returns from the walk, and clearly loves what she does. No complaints in my house. I don't generally leave my dog care to anyone else, but Ali”

I’m active, patient, and detail-oriented, and I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I’m happy to follow specific routines, medication instructions, feeding schedules, and anything else that helps your pet feel at home. I also have experience with dog training that increased my love and passion for handling all kinds of different dogs and pets.

About: I live on a farm back home & have over a decade of animal care of all kinds! I have many farm cats and two dogs at home, as well as two cats that live with me! I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes & would love to spend time with your best friend!

I am pretty free all summer & I can give as much or as little attention as your pet requires! I’m available to do random walks throughout the day or stay full time at your residence to give 24/7 care to your pet.

About: Spending time and interacting with animals has always been a passion of mine. Over the years I helped my grandma run her dog sitting service, taking the dogs for walks and cleaning up the kennels. I also enjoy being outside and taking my own dog for long walks and fun trips to the dog park. My dog is a family member and I intend on treating yours the same way. Your dog will have a great time exploring the city and playing with others at the dog park. I hope to someday have my own place where I can board dogs just like grandma did!!! I spend 90% of my time with dogs and we enjoy playing with other pups at the dog parks, we are traveling nomads and look forward to meeting you My dogs live in my van with me Both are crate trained. I feed my dogs twice a day. They enjoy laying around the house being lazy. Going to the dog park to play with others is always fun too!!! We also enjoy walking
