Personalized care for your dog or cat - Dana

“Mallory is the best dog sitter you can find ever in Ames. I submitted a late request and she responded really fast. She treated my pups as babies and being extra patient with their separate anxiety. I’ll definitely go to her when I have to be out of town.”

About: I have several years of training by and experience with handling and caring for pets. I have experience with all different animals from being a dog trainer, working in vet clinics to working with large farm animals. I’m currently looking for early morning opportunities and evening opportunities. I’m also open to overnight stays as needed. I can be flexible in those early and evening hours! I provide lots of care for your animals, if they need any maintenance (nails clipped, ears cleaned, medications, etc.) I’m totally comfortable with that from my work experience. I love to spend lots of quality time with your pet and get to know them and what they need!

“Lizzy took the best care of our French bulldog. She is truly passionate about caring for dogs. She sent photos daily. It was comforting to know our dog was being taken care of while we were away. We’ll definitely utilize her skills again.”

“Olivia did a fantastic job. She kept me posted on how my girls were doing and gave me pictures of them each day we were gone. I will book again with her if she is willing to deal with my crazy dogs again! 🙃”

About: I have loved pets all my life. Growing up, our family had a dog, and I had two rabbits. Now my family is full of six dogs and lots of hair. I currently have two golden retrievers — Midas and Enzo. They are 4 years old and 11 weeks old! The puppy phase has been fun to enjoy again. In the past I have dog and cat sat and also worked at a grooming facility. I have worked at a veterinary clinic as well. At the clinic, I was an assistant so I interacted with each animal making their visit a positive experience. I am currently working full-time during the weekdays. I can check in on your furry family member early in the morning and as soon as 4pm in the afternoons! Many of my weekends are free! So I have lots of time to prioritize your pet. I will treat your pets as I treat mine. I’m a big believer in positive reinforcement and want every pet to have a positive experience. Each fur-baby I watch will be spoiled to the max!

“Courtney and her daughter did an excellent job for my cats and I!! This was my first experience using Rover and Courtney, but I will definitely be using them again in the future the piece of mind of seeing the photos of my cats while I’m away and knowing that they’re getting great care is 100% worth every penny. Thank you!”

“Tiffany is so kind and does such a great job checking in on our puppy! Such a great experience with someone who is diligent and caring!”

About: As a future veterinarian, many of my friends have relied on me to care for their cats. Ive done everything from feeding, changing the litter, and even nail clipping. I'm comfortable caring for anxious cats that like to hide away and active cats that like to play and vocalize. I can't wait to meet your fur baby!

About: I have taken care of my dog since he was a puppy and my brothers do for about 4 years. I also work at a doggy day care and am around all sorts of dogs and understand body language. I work mostly on the weekends. I am most available to spend the most time with your pet during the week. I have school but no more than 4 hours a day. I provide attentive and reliable pet care either in my home or in the client’s home, depending on their preference. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any specific care instructions. I make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and well-cared for by giving them plenty of attention and maintaining a clean environment. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space, keep everything tidy, and ensure the pet experiences minimal disruption to their normal routine. I am also comfortable administering medications if needed and monitoring pets for any changes in behavior or health. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience for both the pet and the owner.

“Mackenzie is super reliable and I trust them to give my dog the care she needs and be in my home while I’m at work! I love getting the videos and pictures that they send me”

About: I am a veterinary student at ISU with experience pet sitting, caring for shelter animals, and clinical care.

I have school on weekdays, but I'm available for walks during the lunch hours from 11am - 1pm. I'm also available after 5pm Monday - Friday and have full availability on weekends. Your pet's comfort is my number one concern so I have no problem coming to you or taking your pet to their favorite park. I'm comfortable walking larger dogs that pull the leash and explore or older dogs with limited mobility. My dog has a vestibular issue, so I'm experienced lifting pets to help them up and down stairs and getting into cars. I'm also experienced giving oral medication, clipping/shaving nails, and bathing.

About: I have been pet sitting since I was about 12 years old! I have pet sitted dogs, and cats! Each pet deserves as much attention and comfortablity when their owners/parents are away. I am very organized, dilegent, and cautious when it comes to pet sitting. I strive to give a great experience for both the pet and the parent so do not hesitate to reach out! If you have any questions please feel free to reach out and I will respond as soon as possible! :) I am currently working as a receptionist at Holistic Health, only working about 30hrs! My schedule if very flexible and can be adjusted based off of the times you need me to petsit! I am able to take care of cats inside of my home, if they get along with other cats!. For taking care of pets in your home, you should expect them to be fed at their normal times, played with, and being taken care of using the expectations of the owner!
