Personalized care for your dog or cat - Fort Madison

“She sent a lot of pictures and videos every day, which helped me feel less anxious about leaving my pup behind. She was very nice, and I could tell Groot was happy to be there and was getting all the love he needed. It was a warm environment that really made him feel at home.”

“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.”

“Traci was excellent! She took great care of our puppy while we were out of town, but on top of that, she was s great communicator, flexible with timing, and seems to have a great pack of critters to entertain her furry guests! We will definitely be using her in the future!”

“Excellent care of our dogs and great communication!”

“Reagan watched Notch for me while I went on a 16 day international vacation. The stay was last kind of last minute as my dad had to go out of town at the same time and he is usually the pup-sitter. She was very amicable and easy to communicate with and responded to all messages very quickly. We did a meet and greet and all went swimmingly. She came to pick up Notch from my home. He appeared to enjoy his time with her from the pics and vids she sent. She was attentive to his dietary needs and his exercise requirements (he loves to chase his ball) and his ear and back scratch quotas. I’d happily use her to sit my pup if the need ever arises again in the future.”

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.

“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.”

“Julie was great with my kitty. He had never been around other cats or dogs before and she made sure to give him his own room while he slowly adjusted to being around other animals. She sent pictures and videos daily. Louie had a great time!”

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.

“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: 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.

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.

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.

“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!”

“Did an amazing job!! My dog seemed very happy when she returned?”

“Julie went above and beyond for my dog, Halley. I was recently in town for work and needed someone to walk her. My hotel situation was not ideal for walking dogs, so Julie went out of her way to take care of Halley every single day I needed her. Halley became great friends with her two goldens and she had a wonderful time. I could completely trust Julie, which was a huge relief as it took away any stress I might have had worrying about Halley during the day. Don’t hesitate to contact Julie if you are in need of someone to take care of your pup!!!”
