Personalized care for your dog or cat - Le Mars

About: Lifelong dog care is more than just a hobby for me—it’s a passion that began with childhood dog walking and grew into a deep commitment after my Air Force service. Today, my own dog is my constant companion and she absolutely loves making new friends, making my home a welcoming environment for your pup. My flexible part-time schedule allows me to prioritize a consistent, high-quality routine for every guest, from strict feeding schedules to plenty of one-on-one attention. I am also currently expanding my professional skills through the American Red Cross Cat and Dog First Aid certification to ensure your furry family members are in the safest hands possible. Whether providing a calm environment to relax or a reliable home-away-from-home experience, I treat every dog with the same love and discipline as my own. With a highly flexible schedule, I offer dedicated care that mirrors your pet’s home routine. I am experienced in administering medications, maintaining strict feeding schedules, and providing plenty of exercise through daily walks. Whether it is a midday stroll or overnight boarding, I have the availability and experience—including caring for my senior neighbors' dogs—to ensure your best friend is safe, healthy, and happy. I prioritize safety through a structured home environment and professional preparation. As a military veteran, I am naturally disciplined with following your specific feeding, medication, and exercise instructions to the letter. I am currently completing the American Red Cross Cat and Dog First Aid course to ensure I can handle any situation with confidence. My home is a secure, routine-driven space where your pet will enjoy a familiar flow—including morning dental treats, timely meals, and daily evening walks. I have a long-standing history of trust in my community, regularly boarding and walking younger, high-energy dogs for my neighbors. I also happen to be a world-class cuddler, but shh... don't tell anyone! ;)

“Samantha made everything wonderful for our dog, Stanley, while we were away. She sent messages and pictures to keep me updated on how things were going. I would highly recommend Samantha as a dog sitter!!”

“Daisy was an excellent dog sitter for my pup for a week. She kept us updated with daily pics and answered all texts. She took him to the dog park and her home had a yard which he enjoyed playing in. Definitely will be looking forward to having her as a dog sitter again.”

Teresa V.

“Milo loved his stay with Tia! She welcomed him into her home and treated him as her own. She loved on him, her children loved on him, and played with him. He was the happiest at her house. Tia is warm and welcoming. She sent pictures so we could see him while we were gone. I highly recommend Tia for your pet.”

About: Reliable and caring pet sitter with a genuine love for animals. I provide attentive care, walks, feeding, and plenty of affection so your pet feels comfortable while you’re away. I treat every pet like family and keep owners updated with messages and photos. As a full-time homemaker and mom of two (plus two stepkids) with a dog of my own, caring for others is a big part of my daily life. Because I’m home most of the day, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to check in on pets, go for walks, and make sure they get the attention and care they need while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I provide a safe and loving environment and treat every animal like part of the family. My yard isn’t fenced, but I have a secure tie-out and can provide additional tie-outs so dogs can safely enjoy time outside while supervised. I’m always attentive to pets’ needs and committed to making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Our dog had a great very with Jennifer. She was very warm to both our pup and us, and assured us that he would be well taken care of. We met her pets (1 dog, 2 cats) before we booked and felt comfortable that our boy was in good hands. Jen was great about communicating every day we were gone. Our dog clearly had a good time and came back to us healthy and happy.”

“Elsie was amazing. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She reliably came twice a day as requested and took excellent care of my kitties. She tidied up after them, made sure food & water was readily available, gave lots of pets and treats. She went above & beyond and even utilized a video chat so I could see them. I highly recommend her and will book her every time.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for 8 years I have my own dog who just turned 2. The very first dog I ever adopted was kind of “scary” looking and played aggressively she was very sassy and didn’t enjoy the company of other dogs or people (she sadly passed away 2 years ago). While my current puppers is hyper active but has extreme anxiety and loves being around people and other pets. I also often petsit my best friends doggo who is a senior and disabled, he can’t use his back two legs and has a lot of medical issues. I know and understand how to work with dogs of all personalities :) I’m working on getting my GED right now so I have a lot of free time lately. I can work on my classes any time during the day so my schedule is pretty open. I can kennel your dog if needed, take them on walks, feed them, play with them, even cuddle with them!! Our fur babies get lonely too!

“Alecia was incredibly caring, organized, and very attentive with my cats.🐱 Every day she kept me informed about how everything was at home and also sent me photos of them, which made me feel very calm and reassured during my time away. She not only took care of them and administered their medication, but also made sure their water bowls were always clean. She went above and beyond by taking extra time to clean the litter boxes, clean up vomit, sweep, and keep the mat tidy. These are the kinds of details that truly make a difference.✨️ She played with them, spoiled them, and cared for them with so much love and dedication. Alecia is very kind, respectful, and warm in her communication, which builds even more trust. 🌸 Without a doubt, I highly recommend her for taking care of your furry loved ones.🐾 It’s very comforting to know that someone like her exists someone who can care for your pets as if you were there yourself. It’s clear that she truly loves what she does, and her work is simply outstanding ✨️.”

“Elisie was wonderful! We booked last minute, and she was very flexible and responsive. She gave our pup lots of attention and even adjusted for extreme weather—we had a blizzard and 90 degree weather all in the same week! We’d definitely recommend her and would happily have her care for our dog again in the future.”

“We were in town for a wedding and needed someone we could trust to take care of our dog, Dougie, while we were away. Alexia was absolutely amazing! She came to our hotel the evening before to meet us, get to know Dougie, and learn about his routine and needs. That immediately gave us peace of mind. The next day, while we were at the wedding, she visited him twice at the hotel. She took him for walks, played with him, gave him lots of attention, and made sure he was comfortable and happy. Throughout the day, Alexia sent us thoughtful updates and adorable pictures, which meant so much to us. Knowing Dougie was being so well cared for allowed us to fully enjoy the wedding without worrying. We are incredibly grateful for Alexia’s kindness, professionalism, and genuine love for animals. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, we can’t recommend her enough. Thank you, Alexia! You are the best!”
