Personalized care for your dog or cat - Castalia

“We had a last minute request for a full day appointment in Decorah. Jenn was available and close to where we were. She was awesome and our dog acclimated quickly. She took him on a walk with her two dogs and they had a great time! Would definitely use her again!”

About: I have a dog of my own now and understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet! I stay active and go on daily walks (sometimes twice a day), so your dog will get plenty of exercise, attention, and care. I also have two cats, so I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats and their different needs. I’m reliable, patient, and treat every pet like my own—whether that’s going for walks, playtime, or just giving them love and attention while you’re away. I have a full time job that is very flexible. I go on walks in the middle of the day lots of times, and am also free some mornings and evenings. I care for pets based on each owner’s preferences and routines to make them feel as comfortable as possible. I’m experienced with leash walks, playtime, and outings like the dog park if approved. Safety is always my priority, and I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, energy level, and needs. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel loved, secure, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a fur baby of my own that is glad to keep yours company if needed as well!

“Ashley did a great job. Our dog and two cats were happy and well taken care of when we came home. She did a wonderful job keeping us updated and sending pictures while we were gone. We will definitely use her services in the future.”

About: I have taken care of animals from a very young age. But the past 15 I have watched my adult children's dogs many times at my home. I have had several senior dogs and dogs on medications. Our current dog, Riley loves all dogs and is very playful I work part-time from home and am able to take multiple breaks for outside time and walks throughout the day. During nice weather I am outside in the yard gardening frequently. We have a large fenced yard and a fun loving pup, Riley who really would love a playmate. We also have a doggy door in the outside porch. The door to the upstairs is kept closed unless we are up there to prevent accidents.

“Our boxer had a great stay with Justine. When we picked her up from daycare she was happy, but quickly fell asleep in our truck from all the fun activity she had with Justine's dog. A nice experience. 😀”

Scott H.

“Benji had soooo much fun with Shelby and her pups and even gained a best friend! Shelby also sent pictures and videos throughout the day! I definitely recommend her, she’s awesom!”

About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life and have raised puppies and kittens. Growing up I also cared for elderly dogs. Keeping animals active and making sure their needs are being met is something I enjoy. When pet sitting I like running and playing fetch with pets or even just sitting and petting them if that’s what they prefer. I have volunteered with humane societies to walk dogs and play with cats. For 2 years I was a veterinary technician at an animal hospital in florida and worked with animals everyday. I am able to give prescribed medications or injections if needed. I have availability on nights and weekends as well as on my days off. I am flexible about traveling and am willing to travel about 30 minutes for pet sitting. Just contact me with any questions about schedule availability. Very flexible on nights and weekends. Work a swing shift at work so some weeks my availability is different. When caring for pets in my clients home I am always careful to make sure the pet is as comfortable with me as possible. I respect that the home is their space and make sure to let the pet make the first move when meeting for the first time.

About: I have 3 fur babies; Rusty 🐱, Palm 🐈‍⬛, and Skeeter 🐶. I also have been dog & cat sitting for neighbors and friends since I was in middle school. I have a flexible schedule and can easily make time for pet care throughout the day. I’m able to provide regular walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention, and I’ll make sure each pet’s routine and needs are prioritized. I’m happy to follow specific instructions for feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and other needs. I’ll also keep the home clean and treat both the pet and their space with care and respect. I’m not able to have other pets stay in my home, so I primarily offer care in the client’s home.

About: I’ve had a variety of dogs my whole life and feel like I have a good grasp on varying temperaments and understand of behavior. I love dogs and have 4 of my own. ❤️ I currently work full time but I’m off and free after 430. I love helping out others and taking care of animals just like they are my own I will follow your guidelines to what your animals routines are and adapt to their space. I will come to you since I have 4 doggos and they are welcoming but could be chaotic based on the age ranges I have.
