“Shelley was amazing! She sent pictures often, made sure my dog was comfortable and was very accommodating. If I’m in the area again I’ll leave my pup with Shelley!”

“Excellent, attentive care for my two toy poodles! Kyla took wonderful care of my dogs during their two-night stay. I especially appreciated her understanding and patience with my elderly poodle who has vision difficulties. She made sure both dogs were comfortable and well-looked after. I really appreciated the pics she sent me! My pups came home happy and relaxed, which gave me great peace of mind. Would definitely book with her again!”

“She was amazing and was wonderful with my dog. She sent multiple daily updates and photos. Her dogs played well with mine and they had a great time. I will definitely keep her in mind for next booking.”

About: For most of my life, I grew up on a farm full of a variety of animals. We owned chickens, cows, pigs, goats, ducks, geese, horses, and sheep. On top of that, we also kept many dogs and cats around too. Due to this, I grew up loving all my animal companions and practicing the best ways to care for our furry friends. I now live in an apartment with just my two cats but take with me my past experience of two years working at a vet clinic as a ward attendant, participating in dog walking, administering medications, and other general animal care. Currently, I am looking for ways to fill my free time with a little extra animal love, as I am someone who likes to always be busy doing something for others. With my current job as a teacher, my schedule is pretty strict, unfortunately. However, my evening availability can be very flexible. I could be available from 5 pm to 10 pm during the weekdays and then free all day during weekends. Therefore, if you need my help with your furry family member, I would be glad for you to use my low-priced services offered ranging from walks to house sitting to drop-in visits! I am a teacher and will be working every weekday from 7 AM to 4 PM. Expect that availability for me will change during winter and summer breaks. In my home, I have two cats that are experienced with dogs and other cats. We have multiple rooms so if a door needs to be shut for an animal's privacy while in my care, that can be done.

About: I have 3 dogs of my own, they go places with me and lots of walks. I am polite, trustworthy, hard working, caring, and reliable. I am by myself caring for your pet. I am available all evening, morning, and weekends. I can clean cat pans, pick up dog feces, take.dogs for walks, clean and play with pets. I have a big house, lots of space, and a fenced in yard. I have multiple water fountains and keep a schedule. Animals are aloud on the furniture and to play and be themselves.

“I was so nervous to leave my baby girl, Ginger, with a stranger for a week. However, Jacob was great. His dog was so friendly and he and Ginger got along wonderfully. I got updates and pictures. Jacob always returned my messages when I was feeling worried or guilty. When we picked Ginger up, she was excited to get back home, but I could tell she missed Jacob and R. too. I hope I don't need a dog care provider in the future, but if I do, I will be messaging Jacob.”

About: My name is Diego and I have a 16 year old cat and am very attentive to their needs and have had experience with senior dogs as well. Looking forward to caring for your pets as I would my own. Open to accommodate for your pet's needs. Making sure my own cat is fed in a timely manner as they are older. Take the time to brush them frequently as they are a long hair and cleaning up after them as needed. I am unable to sit for pets where I live but am open to do drop in visits to care for your pets if needed.

“Coree was reliable, friendly and took great care of my cat, Flipper. I was gone for a week and she came in daily to care, feed and play. I will use her again and would recommend 👌 her to Ft. Madison, Iowa area residents.”

“Jacob was great with communication and my animals were all taken care of despite how short notice our trip was. I cant thank him enough for easing our worries knowing how well our fur babies were taken care of.”

About: I've always loved dogs ,and have had at least one throughout my life. My dream is to have my own doggy daycare. I love giving each dog their own special attention. I work from home certain days of the week and am available on weekends. I love to take walks and have a big yard to play. If I am taking care of your dog at my house they must do well with other dogs and a baby. However I am happy to come to your house. I know how hard it can be to find quality dog care in southeast Iowa. I am willing to work with you to find the best fit. My dogs have always been family and your pet will be treated as such.

“Shelley is a great sitter. She took great care of my dog, Coal. Coal was very happy and healthy when we picked her up. Shelley was great to work with. We had some travel issues and was very understanding and accommodating. I would definitely use Shelley again if we are ever in the area. She watched Coal while we were visiting some historical sites on vacation. It might be a while before we get back to Missouri. She gave us a hand drawn portrait of Coal when we picked her up. That was awesome.”

“Julie was great! This was the first time we had a sitter for our 6 month old puppy, Charley. Julie was very patient and understanding and very flexible concerning our ever-changing schedule. She kept us updated on Charley throughout his stay. We were very happy with Julie's care of our pup and will not hesitate to request her services again.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. I use to show them in 4H when I was younger. I’m a stay at home mom, so I can give your dog plenty of attention throughout the day! They’ll be able to run, have fun, be played with, and get lots of potty breaks! I am home all day, everyday! Therefore I am available to take them potty as much as they need, take them on walks, play with them. Whatever their needs are. I’m here for them! I have two big outdoor kennels for the nice weather days, but they are also welcome in our home. We have a tiny little rat terrier and then a boxer that love other dogs. They’re very friendly and playful. I can crate your dog, or put them in the outdoor big kennels that have coverage, or if they are good at free roaming indoors, they’re welcome to free roam the house.

About: I truly care about animals well-being. A pet can be a wonderful addition to any home, but whether you're an experienced pet parent or a first-time adopter, it's important to keep your pet companion's health and happiness a top priority. I enjoy playing with them and showing them new things. If someone leaves their dog with me they can feel completely safe they are taken well care of. I will treat any person's dog the same as I would my own. I know what to look for if the dog does not feel well or needs extra attention. I have a very good sense of dogs needs such as when they are hungry or need to go outside. I look forward to hearing from you. I work from home, so I can be with the pet full-time. I enjoy meeting new pets and owners and ensuring they have nothing to worry about while I am sitting. I work from home, so I can be with the pet full-time.

About: Animals love me. I have a lot patience and I reward with treats and affection. I’m semi- retired now but I used own a pet grooming business. I have 2 dogs Marlo and Harper, 1 cat and I live in Linden Heights. We do have cameras so you can check on your pet via camera, Snapchat or FaceTime. We walk at least once a day and if your dog likes to play frisbee or ball we also play once a day. The dog park is just about a mile away when we need a fenced in area. Let me know if you’d like to set up a meet and greet for you baby. I can do sitting or boarding for work or vacations. I’m semi retired And am home during the day. In the mornings, I take my dog on one to 2 mile walk. In the evening we play frisbee. I would be available to take the dogs to the dog park, which is only about a mile away or I would take them out on a leash. Our house is very secure. We have a security camera outside and we have a camera inside. The dogs would not be able to get out unless they were on a leash. I live in minimal trafficked area.

“Dana was wonderful with our dog! The atmosphere is very comforting for the dog to get adjusted and you can tell that the whole family are dog lovers. She sent us picture updates and we could tell he was relaxed. We would not hesitant for a minute to leave our little guy there again. Dana accommodated us last minute as well and it allowed us to go out for a celebratory dinner with our son. Great experience!”

About: Working professionally with dogs for over 11 years. I train, walk, care, and am able to handle dogs of all ages and many temperaments. I can come to your home or they can come to mine. Dogs are my life. I currently volunteer at a shelter where I just relocated to. My schedule is wide open while I rebuild my business locally to offer quality, loving, and affordable pet care so people can have the best in life and not have to worry. I follow all owner direction regarding meals, walks, medication, and socialization. I like to walk every two to four hours for at least 30 min, and play one on one throughout the day.

“Jacob has been great. He came at the last minute to help when I was unable to walk my Toffee. Very friendly and helpful. Even gives me tips to help train my new dog. I'm greatful to have found him!”
