Personalized care for your dog or cat - Fort Madison

“Shelly was a true blessing! It's always hard to leave the fur babies especially in a new place but she eased my heart on the very first update she gave me and the regular updates after! Drake was having a blast. She was also very flexible with drop off and pick up times. I will definitely be using her services again!!”

“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!”

“Outstanding!!! Our babies loved staying with Traci. They were spoiled and got to play in a big yard which they absolutely loved! Traci provided updates and pictures of the dogs which was so nice for us. We really appreciate it, and will definitely contact her again in 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.

“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!”

“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.”

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.

“Shelley was so great and caring. Our dog was nervous and timid, but by the end of the day they were pals!”

“Wonderful experience! She was very flexible and easy to book. Her love for dogs shined through her care for Gidget. Thank you!”

“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 previously worked at a veterinary clinic for 3 years with dogs and cats! I have experience from puppies/kittens to senior dogs/cats and giving some medications. Growing up I’ve dog sat for neighbors and friends. I enjoy taking my dogs for walks around the neighborhood! I am currently working part time. However, I am available for in home boarding any day of the week. I’m available for dog walking on weekends or week day evenings. If you have any further questions feel free to reach out! I have a fenced in yard, 2 friendly dogs and 2 cats to keep yours company for their stay. There’s a walking trail close to my house that my dogs and I enjoy going to.

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.

“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!!!”
