“Traci is awesome! She took my dog in last min cause I had to go to a funeral and took great care of her. She sent photos daily and allow me to extend. Her family and home is very welcoming. Will definitely rebook with her.”
“Ashlee was great! Our sweet Raven warmed right up to her and her family, and was treated like one of their own fur babies. Ashlee was wonderful when our trip got extended by almost a full day, and kept us updated with pictures and videos. Would love to let Raven stay again in the future!”

“Gabby and her family did an excellent job caring for and looking after Cooper for a night and day. They provided ample stimulation through backyard activities with other dogs and children. She sent nice videos/photos of Cooper letting me know he was doing okay and was timely in her communications. I would definitely go back again.”
About: I’ve had a dog in the home for almost my entire life, and got my first on my own during Covid to have a friend around 😊 My second dog moved in two years ago.

I allow dogs on the furniture and have a gate to prevent them from getting downstairs. My neighborhood is quiet and great for walks.

About: I grew up on a farm in Southwest Iowa and always had animals surround me! Inside dogs, outside dogs, inside cats, outside cats, I take care them all! I have three dogs of my own who I love dearly! I’ve had cats and dogs growing up and have also worked as a kennel attendant throughout high school and then worked as a vet assistant for 3 years! I work full time as a CNA at the hospital in Red Oak! I do work 12’s so on the days I work I can let out early morning and late at night! But I have three days off and most weekends!! I’d love to meet you and your pets!! My dogs get kenneled during the day and obviously if I’m home I let them roam the house! Or we go for walks and get outside!! My personal dogs get fed 2 times a day and get their monthly prevention for heartworm and fleas and ticks!
About: I've lived with several cats of varying ages for many years. I have a 2 year old domestic long hair and she is my baby. I understand how sensitive cats can be to different routines and will always do my best to accommodate to make your absence as easy for the cat as possible.
About: I have had several cats throughout life & know how complex & loving these animals are. Cats are animals that require boundaries & understanding communication. While cats can be very easy-going, they also can be very sensitive. I have had experience with tons of different cat personalities & like to consider myself a “cat whisperer”. I love to snuggle & love on any & all kitties! But I also understand that some cats are independent & are not very affectionate, which is totally ok! Rest assured knowing your cat(s) are taken well care of while you are away. I will respect their boundaries & make sure they feel safe & taken care for! :)
“Linda provided excellent care for my cat while I was away and was very good about sending photos and videos. I will definitely hire Linda again to check in on my cat.”
“Sheri was amazing while I was away! She made sure to update me with pictures everytime, and Luka was definitely happy with the service as well! Will definitely be reaching out again for stays in the future.”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember. I’m patient and love to go on walks as much as possible. Available on weekends and some evenings.

They will stay busy and entertained but also have plenty of time to relax and be comfortable.
About: I have experience caring for cats of all ages, from curious kittens to laid-back adults. I’m comfortable with feeding, litter box care, playtime, and giving plenty of love and attention to make sure your cat feels safe and happy while you’re away.

About: I am a Veterinary student. I have been working in pet clinics in a while and I know how to get along with most of the dogs. I have reatriced times for job because I have to do homework and other stuff but If we are going to have an appointment, I’ll make sure that your pet is going to be fine. I also have CPR knowledge about animals (not only dogs), so leave your pet to me and I will take care of it. I am also doing a research on dogs life style, so working this job will also give me a chance to do a research and have a good chance of getting my research approved by my college.

“Joan is an excellent dog sitter and I would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs. She was great to communicate with leading up to the stay, and kept us informed through texts and pictures of how Mia was doing while she was there. Mia was worn out after her day of fun at Joan's house. We will definitely reach out to her again for our future needs!”
“Jennifer took such great care of our energetic pup! It was so nice to know Willow was being well loved & cared for. Jennifer sent a great report card each day and Willow was always worn out when we picked her up. Willow can’t wait for her next play date with Jennifer’s pup & attention from her family.”
About: I’ve had a dog in the home for almost my entire life, and got my first on my own during Covid to have a friend around 😊 My second dog moved in two years ago. I work full-time from home, so, other than leaving once a day for working out at the gym, my schedule is flexible to fit around your pet’s needs. I have a fenced yard and two dogs who love to play. I allow dogs on the furniture and have a gate to prevent them from getting downstairs. My neighborhood is quiet and great for walks.
About: I’ve spent the past 11 years loving and caring for my three pups—Dori (11), Sammy (9), and Gracie (3). We’ve been through all the stages together—from puppy potty training and teething chaos to senior snuggles and slow walks. I know every pet has their own quirks and comforts, and I do my best to make them feel right at home. Whether it’s walks, playtime, belly rubs, or cuddle sessions, your furry friend will get all the love and attention they deserve while you’re away! As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time for playtime, walks, and potty breaks throughout the day. I’m available for boarding or doggy day care any day of the week, so your pup will always have company and attention! Whether they love to nap, play, or go on adventures, I’ll make sure they get the care and routine they’re used to. Your pup will feel right at home here! We’re a busy, happy household with three friendly dogs and two sweet kiddos (ages five and two) — plus a new baby on the way! So visiting dogs get plenty of love, attention, and playmates, both furry and human. All of our dogs and children are wonderful with other animals. Our home has a fully fenced backyard that’s perfect for safe running and playtime. Inside, there are cozy dog beds, soft blankets, and plenty of toys to keep tails wagging. For pups who need their own quiet space, we also have two x-large crates available. I always make safety my top priority and take time to learn each pet’s comfort level with kids and other dogs. Whether your pup loves to play or prefers a calm, quiet spot, I’ll make sure they feel secure, comfortable, and cared for every step of the way.
About: Our Weimaraner keeps us active with daily hikes and play time in the yard. I am very particular with the care provided to him so I understand the importance of meeting your expectations. My husband and I raised Siberian Huskies for 6 years and couldn’t imagine our home without a canine companion. I am excited to provide others with the care I desire for my own! I am a teacher looking for a flexible schedule to stay busy throughout the summer and breaks. I enjoy staying active and love experiencing breeds of varying sizes, ages, and energy requirements. Our Weimaraner thrives on socializing with other dogs and will keep the play time interesting. We have a large crate available if necessary. Although we do not have a fenced in yard we have a tie out as well as a membership to the nearby dog park. We travel with our dog and will take yours along, too!
“Samantha was so kind and helpful. We needed a dog sitter for a couple hours in the middle of a road trip from Colorado to Illinois, and she took great care of our pup (who can be a little nervous about new places) and had great communication. Plus, she made sure our dog got plenty of exercise before the next leg of our drive!”

About: I've been big dog lover since I was a little girl. Growing up, all the families in the neighborhood had dogs except us, so I would always go to their houses to play with them- until the day I finally convinced my mom to get one of our own! Since then, we've had two dogs whom I absolutely adore. Schnauzer's and Labradoodles have a special place in my heart. I work from home most days of the week, so I have flexibility and time to give your dog attentive care. I love being outside, so taking your dog for a walk or run would fit right into my daily schedule! There is a dog park very close to my apartment. It's big and located in a park, which offers even more space for dogs to spend time! While inside the house, I will play with them and ensure their needs are met.

About: Hello, my name is Faith! I grew up around exceptional dogs and lifelong animal care through my mom’s award-winning breeding and show dog business. From puppy care to understanding different temperaments and routines, I’ve had hands-on experience my whole life — giving your dog attentive, knowledgeable, and personalized care in a safe, loving environment. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I work a very flexible job just down the street from my home. This allows me to provide consistent attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and plenty of companionship throughout the day.

I care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while staying in their familiar home environment. I follow your pet’s normal routine closely — including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, training reinforcement, and plenty of affection — to keep stress low and tails wagging. With my background in dog handling and training, I pay close attention to behavior, safety, and individual needs while also keeping your home clean, respected, and secure. I provide dependable communication, photo updates, and personalized care so you can travel with peace of mind knowing your pet is in experienced, caring hands.

About: My family owned a dog when I was in middle school for about a year and a half, but due to busy schedules at the time we had to give him up. My brother had a dog for a little over five years, and I enjoyed helping him take care of her while I was living with my parents, and I went to their house to see her and help take care of her when needed before she passed away! I am different from other sitters because I will spend as much time as I possibly can with your pet! I know that with my brother’s dog, Emma, I wanted to be home with her as much as I can when I was living with my parents so she could be out of her kennel as often as possible. I will also make sure that everything you require of me will be completed in the most appropriate manner possible. I will always make sure that your pet is safe! I will always have an eye on your pet when they go to the bathroom outside, and will talk with you to get as many details as possible to make sure everything goes well while watching your pet! I am a teacher full time, so I would want to make sure that both you and your pet are okay with me being at my full time job during the day when I am house sitting. I am available to do house sitting all seven days of the week. I am available to do drop-in visits and dog walks only on the weekends (I am available all day on Saturdays and Sundays to do these) due to working as a teacher, however if you ever need a drop in or dog walk in the evening during the week please feel free to send me a request for it! I also regularly change my calendar so I am usually am available to do drop-in visits and dog walks on weekdays that I am out of school! I will make sure that your pet is my priority while under my care! I will take great care of your home, no matter which service you request! I will be very respectful of everything in your home, and I make sure I am around to take care of your pet(s) as often as possible! If you have any requests on what you would like me to do with your pet(s), no matter which service it might fall under, please let me know!
About: I have had a personal doggy care system for about 6 years. I tend to do a lot of house sitting because I want your animal to feel safe and comfortable in their environment. My business primarily has been through word of mouth but I have taken care of little fur babies from old to young, I also can give meds to any dog, no matter the issues; I’ve worked with epileptic dogs to dogs with heart issues, truly I don’t mind! I’ve worked with anxious dogs/cats to aggressive dogs/cats. I am a dog nanny to my sisters 3 dogs now, they brighten my day, daily! I absolutely love animals and hope to help yours! I work full time from home with a very flexible schedule. I am able to let out/walk your little ones at any and all times of the day. I don’t need much heads up, as long as I can get there, I’m able to stay as long or take them to parks, on car rides, etc. I have a pretty big fenced yard and 3 friendly dogs at home, one small and two medium, all very friendly to keep any fur baby company. I am comfortable house sitting as well, I also can crate if needed. I believe in providing comfort and creating a low stress environment for your baby!
About: I have helped take care of animals all of my life! My grandma had a lot of animals when I was a child, growing up I had to help her care for her pets and others pets as well a lot of the time! My aunt was also wildlife rescue and when I’d stay over at her house on weekends and summer visits I would help her with what I was allowed to help with I am currently working as agency through my job so I pick my schedule and days I work. I also am looking to change my career and hopefully become a vet tech soon! I have a fenced in big back yard! My home is spacious and I have my own crate in case I need to use it

“Ashlee was great! Our sweet Raven warmed right up to her and her family, and was treated like one of their own fur babies. Ashlee was wonderful when our trip got extended by almost a full day, and kept us updated with pictures and videos. Would love to let Raven stay again in the future!”
“Gabby and her family did an excellent job caring for and looking after Cooper for a night and day. They provided ample stimulation through backyard activities with other dogs and children. She sent nice videos/photos of Cooper letting me know he was doing okay and was timely in her communications. I would definitely go back again.”
“Autumn was great with our black Lab for a long weekend away. She sent updates with pics and videos. I felt like she spoiled our dog with lots of love and attention! Easy drop off and pick up. She definitely cares for your pet like they were her own.”

About: being around dogs is both a joy of mine but also a necessity! i have taken care of and grown up with many different breeds and sizes of dogs throughout my life and would love to continue to help you and your furry friend! as every dog is different and specific to their own needs, i will do my absolute best to take good care of your dog and make them feel right at home however you please currently, i would say i am working a pretty full time job with 6-8 hour long shifts but am flexible to adjust my schedule as long as you contact me a week in advance. however if this does sound doable for your pup i am generally available throughout the whole week except for mondays! i do live in an apartment, however there is plenty of grass nearby including the secluded neighborhood that it is in. i would be happy to take your dog on walks or to nearby parks. perhaps a dog park also if that is something they do well with and enjoy. i live in a fairly spacious, yet cozy space and and am willing to provide a kennel if need be.
