About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals for my entire life. As a kid, my family bred and raised Shih Tzus. I have experience with all ages! I am currently working part time/as needed while attending college part time. I have a flexible schedule and commute from Charles City to Waterloo most every day. I have a private, fenced in backyard. My wiener dog, Tootsie, enjoys roaming our 3-bedroom house, sunbathing on the couches, and snuggling in bed.
About: I love to walk with dogs. My dog Buddy and I have walked and ran countless miles around Cedar Falls for the past 9 years. I believe that every dog can benefit from exploring the environment outdoors, and regular exercise is very important, so I would love to make that happen for them. My schedule is very flexible so we can meet at a time that is convenient for you. My dog enjoys longer walks during the later morning time and/or at night with a playtime scheduled in between. Just message me and I will get back to you soon! My senior dog has lots of energy because we have exercised quite often together throughout the years. When we are not walking or running, we enjoy spending time on our balcony, watching tv together, and playing with toys. Buddy loves to run and play with giant bouncy balls. I would love to spend time with your pet and/or take them for a walk.
“Adriana definitely eased our minds while we were away on vacation! Not only did Adriana care for our family 😻 pet we all love very much, but she also “looked after” the outdoor neighborhood “pets” that sometimes eat & stay in the makeshift “house” built to help them stay as warm as possible during these winter months!! She also went above & beyond doing some light housework inside & outside!”

“Rachel was GREAT! She was able to help out with our dog at the last minute when we decided to go out of town and couldn't take our dog along! Dozer has a lot of anxiety and doesn't do well with boarding, so having someone who could come into our home and care for him was a perfect solution!!”
About: Hi there! I have lots of professional experience caring for pets of all kinds! I’ve worked at several doggy daycares, including Camp Run-a-Mutt, where I became comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments.

I traveled throughout the city providing dog walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays for all different kinds of pets. I absolutely love animals and take pride in making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual needs and would love the opportunity to give your furry friends the care and attention they deserve! :) I'm currently working as a part-time barista, so I have plenty of time to fit in some pet sitting! My schedule is flexible! I take your instructions very seriously, and will care for your pets in the best way possible. Theirs and yours happiness are my top priority!
“Jordon has done extended stays caring for my long haired cat, Oliver. Oliver really doesn’t like to be social with anyone, but me! Jordon sends pictures everyday and to my surprise some of the pics….Oliver is sitting next to and relaxing with Jordon. He is very responsible & caring. He goes above and beyond. I will ask for Jordon every time I need someone to stay with Oliver while I’m away. Thank you, Jordon!”

“Angie was great, filled in for us last minute! She was easy to work with and accommodated a virtual meeting to go over instructions to fit our schedule. We were very happy with the care our two cats received!!”
“These 2 were so wonderful! They took care of our sick kitty so well. He looked comfortable and happy in all their update pictures and they followed our feeding instructions to a T. 10/10 would recommend them.”
“Sage was a wonderful sitter! She was attentive to our pets and took care of playing, feeding and their litter boxes and other accidents. She went above and beyond by bringing in our mail, moving objects out of kitty reach and bonding with our animals by holding them and playing with them. She kept us updated daily with detailed notes and pictures. We would definitely have her watch our kitties again and would highly recommend to others! Thank you so much!”
