About: I have had a lot of experience with dogs over the years and am just getting started with pet sitting. My priority is providing a safe and caring home for your pup while they are in my care. I currently have a yellow lab mix who loves other dogs. I have some experience with high energy dogs, nervous dogs, giving medicines, and helping finicky dogs eat. I work full time, but have a flexible job that will allow me to let your dog out as needed. Our routine includes three walks a day so I will make sure your pup is exercised. I am home evenings to spend with your dog. Weekends are the best times for me to board and your pup will be sure to get a lovely walk or hike! I have a comfortable and dog friendly apartment and access to a fenced yard/private dog park to play in. My yellow lab will love to keep your dog company, play, or show your dog the best places to nap. I can be flexible with whatever care instructions you need.
“Tiffany was great with our 2 shih tzus. Fast response time from the beginning, provided multiple updates even though we were only away for about 24 hours. We really appreciated how attentive she was during the meet and greet - it helped us feel confident that the visit would be successful! Definitely looking forward to the dogs staying with her in the future.”
“Communicated really fast with us, asked us important questions she needed to know about our dog Teddy, and Teddy came home really tired (which is a very good thing). Thank you so much for taking care of my dog!”
About: I am an avid animal lover who worked as a vet tech for five years. My spouse and teenage girls are also animal lovers! We LOVE to have animal visitors! We have small dogs of our own who enjoy making new pet friends. I am a full-time nurse with very flexible hours and my spouse is home all summer! My teenagers are also available to help with our guests. We have a fenced in yard, and love to take our dogs for walks. Our dogs are very friendly with other cats and dogs. We have a special needs dog, so we are very comfortable with giving medications and other special needs.
“We’re so grateful to have Elizabeth sit for Rusty when the other sitter canceled our booking in the last minute! Elizabeth provided outstanding care for Rusty and ensured that Rusty’s needs be met while spoiling him as well. She also sent a bunch of pictures and videos of Rusty that we enjoyed so much! Her acreage yard allowed Rusty to run around and exercise as he loves to be outside! Thank you so much for your care! Highly recommended and will definitely use the service again in the future!”
About: I am a student at Iowa State University, eager to get some good puppy love. After moving from northern Illinois, I miss my family dogs dearly and want to help others with their dogs and give them the attention they deserve. Growing up, I had many dogs and cats, ranging from small to very large dogs. I am also experienced handling less friendly dogs, and am good at making connections with them. I’m currently working part time as a customer services representative at Iowa State’s Recreation Services and do research remotely in a lab at the university. I tend to be able to do early mornings or afternoons! My apartment is safe, secured by multiple locked doors and is regularly cleaned and uncluttered. At a clients house, I am sure to respect your pet’s way of life and the house rules as well.
“Libby did an outstanding job as always with my dog and cat. She graciously cared for them for an entire two weeks while I was away. She is so warm, kind, and flexible. My dog can be clingy with me when I leave him behind but he remembered Libby and was so happy to see her that he forgot all about me and danced over to greet her, his face completely lighting up and covering her with kisses.. That says everything about her wonderful loving care! So grateful for Libby!”
“My pups came home very tired! Sign of a good time? Not sure but they sure were quiet & slept a lot! Cristina said they did well & she would gladly take them again. The house was nice & spacious. I enjoyed the pictures, just wished there were a few more.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals from all age and size. I’ve been around dogs and cats since I was born and have a lot of experience in dog sitting! I’m currently participating in an internship during the summer. When I’m not doing that, I would love to be taking care of any animal that needs it. I make sure my dog doesn’t go outside alone and we always make sure they are on a leash when being walked. I make sure to put their safety first!
About: I have been around animals all my life. I love playing with them and taking them for a walk. Its been a pleasure to be with animals. I am retired so I can be available at anytime to take care of dogs. I will care for them like they are my own. I will be able to walk them or just play with them in the yard. I like taking dogs for a walk because it gives them exercise and me too.
“Amy is wonderful pet sitter. She is very responsible and punctual. Amy asked a lot of details about my cat and how to care about him. It was very easy to communicate with her - she sent a report about each visit (with photos) and responded promptly and in detail. I recommend her as a pet sitter.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Hubbard
“I left my two dogs with Katrina for an entire day while I had a work commitment. She was very pleasant, professional, and thorough in making sure I felt comfortable leaving them with her for the first time. She communicated throughout the day and was flexible when I had to pick them up later than planned. Working with her was a wonderful experience for me and my boys.”
“Angela and her family are absolutely wonderful! Daisy loves spending the day at their house while I am at work and she receives plenty of treats, love, and playtime when she is there. Angela is always quick to respond to requests and accomadating to our puppy training pursuits. If you’re looking for a reliable, convenient, and caring dog sitter, look no further!!”
“They are so lovely! A massive yard for Ace to run in which he definitely needed. Her dogs are so friendly and playful. Her children are also very helpful and respectful in asking if they can give my dog one of their dog toys. Will definitely be coming back!”
“Kelley did a wonderful job taking care of our 15 year old dog, including mealtime and medicine. Kelly is kind and responsible and we could tell that Adi felt comfortable in her home. 5 out of 5 stars. We highly recommend.”
About: I have had pets in my life since the day I was born. I got my first cat when I was 3 and have had many more since then. :) Caring for my pets has become something that I have worked on and improved over the years - and I love meeting new pets! I own my own business that is run from my home and a downtown location - just three blocks from my home. :) My husband runs our household and is home or helping me daily. We have a fenced in yard that is big enough for the dogs to run laps - and three other dogs who adapt well to having friends over. :)
“Samantha is so great to work with! She follows directions perfectly and takes excellent care of all the (3) dogs we’ve had her sit for (doggie day care). She communicates effectively and timely and we never have to worry.”
“Our dog was happy and relaxed when we picked him up. It seemed like he had a fun afternoon and it was clear that he was well cared for. Thank you Tilaine and family, and extra thanks for working with us on such short notice!”
About: I’ve taken care of fur babies of all kinds since before I could walk. I grew up with a dog and cat always in tow. I lived in the country, so learned fast that the world can be hard for an animal, thus beginning my rehab ‘career’. As I got older, I pet sat for neighbors and family friends. In my mid 20s I trained as a vet tech, prepping animals for surgery, giving vaccinations, nail trims, etc. Until the ISU Wildlife Clinic closed, I volunteered there, learning more care for wild native animals. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, I can’t imagine life without animals. I currently have a senior border collie named Lola, she has arthritis so sometimes she needs help getting around and I’m always willing to help my girl. I also have a senior cat. Currently I’m a doordash/grub hub driver, so I literally am free 24/7 to care for your pets! I will prioritize Rover over delivery, so I can work with any schedule you need. I’m available for repeat needs (several walks a week, drop ins, etc). I live in a duplex with a yard. For me to board a pet, they would need to get along with my dog, and she can honestly be a bit grumpy meeting new dogs, so I feel going to the client’s home would be best. I will respect your home and follow whatever instructions you have for the care of your pets.
“I was visiting town for a work trip and was beyond impressed by the care and communication! My pup Barley is older and just had surgery - it was so wonderful leaving him without worry, knowing he would be extra loved and cared after during the day!”
About: Seasoned dog owner offering full-time pet care you can trust. My passion for animals started early—even before spending summers volunteering at the Ames Animal Shelter as a young girl. Every opportunity to pet sit for family and friends had me thrilled to spend time with animals.

I look forward to connecting—and giving your pets my very best. 🫶 I provide pet care full-time, so your pet gets all of my love, attention, and care—day and night. I know how hard it can be to leave your furry family, which is why I go out of my way to make them feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. I’m available 24/7, and I send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing they’re in kind, capable hands. I like to do a meet and greet before we book anything. It’s a great chance for your pets to get to know me, for us to go over how a typical day looks at your place, and to talk through anything I should be ready for—so I can make sure your pets get the best care possible. I’ll keep you updated with plenty of pictures and videos—and we can even FaceTime if you’d like! If there’s anything else I can do to make your time away from your pets easier, just let me know.

I will supply the care your pet needs per your instructions and make sure that your loved one is healthy and happy while you are away from home. If you have questions, feel free to ask! Pet care is my main gig! Between grooming, training, and pet-sitting, I am always keeping busy.

In addition to a fenced area, we have 10 acres for walks and individual play time. My work schedule varies throughout the year, but we always have someone at home to care for our personal pets in addition to any other pets staying with us.

About: If you’re looking for a calm, safe place where your dog can relax, play, and get plenty of exercise, you’re in the right spot. I provide dog boarding in a quiet country setting with lots of open space for dogs to run and burn energy. Many dogs feel overwhelmed in busy boarding facilities, so my goal is to give them a low-stress environment where they can feel comfortable and cared for. Your dog will get: • Plenty of outdoor time and exercise • Constant supervision and attention • A safe, peaceful environment away from crowded kennels I’ve been around dogs for years and understand that every dog has a different personality and comfort level. I take the time to make sure they feel secure, get the activity they need, and settle in like they’re at home. Whether your dog loves to run, explore, or just relax, they’ll have the space and attention they need while you’re away. I also provide updates and photos so you can see how your dog is doing during their stay. Caring for dogs fits very naturally into my daily routine. Because I’m located in a quiet rural area, dogs staying with me have plenty of space to get exercise and enjoy the outdoors throughout the day. My day typically includes multiple outdoor breaks, playtime, and regular check-ins to make sure every dog is comfortable and getting the attention they need. I keep a consistent routine with feeding, activity, and rest, which helps dogs settle in quickly and feel at home. Since I’m around throughout the day, dogs are closely supervised and never left alone for long periods. I also make sure to send updates and photos so owners can see how their dog is doing while they’re away. Providing a calm, structured environment with lots of outdoor time is a normal part of my day, and I enjoy making sure every dog has a safe, comfortable, and fun stay.

My goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and at home while their owner is away. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pet is being well cared for.

About: I am a HUGE animal lover! I grew up on a farm so I’ve been around all types of animals and livestock.

About: Animals are my life — I grew up on a farm surrounded by dogs, horses, and livestock, I’ve been caring for pets for as long as I can remember (28 years professionally I started pet sitting at age 16 ). I’ve trained and competed in personal protection with dutch Shepherds, lovingly nursed my own Cane Corso through colon cancer, and raised countless puppies and cared for senior dogs with patience and medical know-how. Whether your pup needs structured walks, medication, extra cuddles, or just a calm, experienced friend, they’ll be treated like family in my care. Reliable, strong on safety, and 100 % devoted to happy, healthy pets.” Pet care is my daily routine! My fiancé, our dog, and I travel full-time across the country for his work, ( I will be the only one caring for your pet) so my schedule is completely flexible and built around animals. Mornings start with me walking and feeding our own pup, then I’m free all day for drop-in visits, walks, or overnight stays with your pets. Afternoons and evenings are the same — I’m almost always within a short drive and ready to help whenever you need me. I never have conflicts with a traditional job, appointments, or commuting. Your dog (or cat!) for however long you’re away, will be getting the same love, exercise, and attention I give my own. Reliable, experienced, and always available — that’s how pet care fits into my life every single day.” I treat your house with the same respect I expect for mine — shoes off, counters wiped, lights/temperature left exactly as you like. • Double-leash walks, secure harness/collar checks before every outing, and I carry a pet-safe first-aid supplies at all times. • 28 years of experience means I’m calm in emergencies and know the warning signs of distress, bloat, seizures, etc. Whether at your place or mine, your pet gets the same love and vigilant care I gave my own dog through her cancer journey — they’re never just ‘another booking,’ they’re family while they’re with me.”

I work full time, but have a flexible job that will allow me to let your dog out as needed. Our routine includes three walks a day so I will make sure your pup is exercised. I am home evenings to spend with your dog. Weekends are the best times for me to board and your pup will be sure to get a lovely walk or hike! I have a comfortable and dog friendly apartment and access to a fenced yard/private dog park to play in. My yellow lab will love to keep your dog company, play, or show your dog the best places to nap. I can be flexible with whatever care instructions you need.
“Tiffany was great with our 2 shih tzus. Fast response time from the beginning, provided multiple updates even though we were only away for about 24 hours. We really appreciated how attentive she was during the meet and greet - it helped us feel confident that the visit would be successful! Definitely looking forward to the dogs staying with her in the future.”
“Communicated really fast with us, asked us important questions she needed to know about our dog Teddy, and Teddy came home really tired (which is a very good thing). Thank you so much for taking care of my dog!”
About: I am an avid animal lover who worked as a vet tech for five years. My spouse and teenage girls are also animal lovers! We LOVE to have animal visitors! We have small dogs of our own who enjoy making new pet friends. I am a full-time nurse with very flexible hours and my spouse is home all summer! My teenagers are also available to help with our guests. We have a fenced in yard, and love to take our dogs for walks. Our dogs are very friendly with other cats and dogs. We have a special needs dog, so we are very comfortable with giving medications and other special needs.
“We’re so grateful to have Elizabeth sit for Rusty when the other sitter canceled our booking in the last minute! Elizabeth provided outstanding care for Rusty and ensured that Rusty’s needs be met while spoiling him as well. She also sent a bunch of pictures and videos of Rusty that we enjoyed so much! Her acreage yard allowed Rusty to run around and exercise as he loves to be outside! Thank you so much for your care! Highly recommended and will definitely use the service again in the future!”
About: I am a student at Iowa State University, eager to get some good puppy love. After moving from northern Illinois, I miss my family dogs dearly and want to help others with their dogs and give them the attention they deserve. Growing up, I had many dogs and cats, ranging from small to very large dogs. I am also experienced handling less friendly dogs, and am good at making connections with them. I’m currently working part time as a customer services representative at Iowa State’s Recreation Services and do research remotely in a lab at the university. I tend to be able to do early mornings or afternoons! My apartment is safe, secured by multiple locked doors and is regularly cleaned and uncluttered. At a clients house, I am sure to respect your pet’s way of life and the house rules as well.
“Libby did an outstanding job as always with my dog and cat. She graciously cared for them for an entire two weeks while I was away. She is so warm, kind, and flexible. My dog can be clingy with me when I leave him behind but he remembered Libby and was so happy to see her that he forgot all about me and danced over to greet her, his face completely lighting up and covering her with kisses.. That says everything about her wonderful loving care! So grateful for Libby!”
“My pups came home very tired! Sign of a good time? Not sure but they sure were quiet & slept a lot! Cristina said they did well & she would gladly take them again. The house was nice & spacious. I enjoyed the pictures, just wished there were a few more.”
About: I offer friendly service and plenty of extras. I can do grooming services while sitting. I also can offer group play sessions and off-leash play time (in a secure field). Your pet (s) will be safe and happy with me. I am experienced with many sizes and temperaments and I can handle anything. I know how to seperate dogs from other pets/animals as well, if needed. I will supply the care your pet needs per your instructions and make sure that your loved one is healthy and happy while you are away from home. If you have questions, feel free to ask! Pet care is my main gig! Between grooming, training, and pet-sitting, I am always keeping busy. The care of your pet is my highest priority I have a fenced in yard that I ensure to check the perimeter of on a regular basis. Additionally, I can leash walk dogs or allow them to spend time in a large 10x10 run that is inside a fenced yard
