About: I have loved pets all my life. Growing up, our family had a dog, and I had two rabbits. Now my family is full of six dogs and lots of hair. I currently have two golden retrievers — Midas and Enzo. They are 4 years old and 11 weeks old! The puppy phase has been fun to enjoy again. In the past I have dog and cat sat and also worked at a grooming facility. I have worked at a veterinary clinic as well. At the clinic, I was an assistant so I interacted with each animal making their visit a positive experience. I am currently working full-time during the weekdays. I can check in on your furry family member early in the morning and as soon as 4pm in the afternoons! Many of my weekends are free! So I have lots of time to prioritize your pet. I will treat your pets as I treat mine. I’m a big believer in positive reinforcement and want every pet to have a positive experience. Each fur-baby I watch will be spoiled to the max!

About: As a future veterinarian, many of my friends have relied on me to care for their cats. Ive done everything from feeding, changing the litter, and even nail clipping. I'm comfortable caring for anxious cats that like to hide away and active cats that like to play and vocalize. I can't wait to meet your fur baby!

“Mackenzie is super reliable and I trust them to give my dog the care she needs and be in my home while I’m at work! I love getting the videos and pictures that they send me”


About: I have taken care of my dog since he was a puppy and my brothers do for about 4 years. I also work at a doggy day care and am around all sorts of dogs and understand body language. I work mostly on the weekends. I am most available to spend the most time with your pet during the week. I have school but no more than 4 hours a day. I provide attentive and reliable pet care either in my home or in the client’s home, depending on their preference. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any specific care instructions. I make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and well-cared for by giving them plenty of attention and maintaining a clean environment. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space, keep everything tidy, and ensure the pet experiences minimal disruption to their normal routine. I am also comfortable administering medications if needed and monitoring pets for any changes in behavior or health. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience for both the pet and the owner.

About: Hello! My name is Nina and I am 24 years old. I love both cats and dogs as I have had many of my own growing up and now! I am available pretty much anytime to care for your furry friends! Feel free to reach out! I stay home with baby and need to get out of the house. This is a great way for me to make money and get out more! I make sure to let the dogs have as much potty time and free time as possible! With me around of course. It’s hard being alone I’m sure!
About: I have had pets my whole life from dogs to cats. I have been pet sitting professionally for 4 years now. And have worked in an animal shelter for one year as a caretaker. I like to take pets out for potty breaks around noon, morning, and evening during the week, offering walks when available. And stay at homes for overnight care on the weekends. I keep a clean home and make sure pets are clean and calm. I will treat your home with respect, and am honest about mistakes or issues that arise.

About: I am a veterinary student at ISU with experience pet sitting, caring for shelter animals, and clinical care. I am comfortable caring for pets with special diets and administration of oral medicine. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs, and I have flexibility in caring for pets of varying activity levels. I can't wait to meet your fur baby! I have school on weekdays, but I'm available for walks during the lunch hours from 11am - 1pm. I'm also available after 5pm Monday - Friday and have full availability on weekends. Your pet's comfort is my number one concern so I have no problem coming to you or taking your pet to their favorite park. I'm comfortable walking larger dogs that pull the leash and explore or older dogs with limited mobility. My dog has a vestibular issue, so I'm experienced lifting pets to help them up and down stairs and getting into cars. I'm also experienced giving oral medication, clipping/shaving nails, and bathing.
