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!

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.

I was extremely about leaving my super energetic pointer puppy while we went out of town but it turned out great! He got excellent care and looked very content in every picture I received.

About: I grew up on a farm, so I've always been surrounded by animals and have developed a natural ability to care for them. This experience has taught me patience, responsibility, and a strong understanding of animal behavior. I’m not only comfortable with dogs of all ages but also have experience handling puppies and providing senior dog care. I work from home, which allows me to give your pet my full attention throughout the day. With a flexible schedule, I'll be the one taking care of your pet personally, ensuring they get plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles. We have a dog at home and an unfenced yard, but we're just one block away from a dog park, so your pet will have plenty of opportunities for outdoor play and exercise. If needed, we can crate our dog to ensure safety and comfort during your pet's visit. We always prioritize the well-being of all pets in our care and will adjust our home environment as needed to meet your pet's needs.

I was so nervous to leave my baby girl, Ginger, with a stranger for a week. However, Jacob was great. His dog was so friendly and he and Ginger got along wonderfully. I got updates and pictures. Jacob always returned my messages when I was feeling worried or guilty. When we picked Ginger up, she was excited to get back home, but I could tell she missed Jacob and R. too. I hope I don't need a dog care provider in the future, but if I do, I will be messaging Jacob.

I currently go to school in Iowa City and wanted to watch some pets over break! I am free for the entire break, Mid December-Mid January! Either in my home or the clients I keep a close eye on the pet! I ensure adequate exercise and keeping the pet out of trouble. When in the clients home I make sure that I am locking doors and can take care of other household chores like garbage, shoveling, and dishes!

About: I’ve taken care of many animals since I was just a little kid. I’ve always held a special place in my heart for dogs, along with small critters. Just recently I moved from Wisconsin, working at a humane society there where everyday I did all the basic care routines/evaluations for approximately 40 dogs. It was a blast, but I’d also love to slow down, and give 1 on 1 attention to the needs of each. I am currently a pretty free person, beginning my career of dog training, Bait’s Purpose: K-9. I plan my future around my dogs, and training. I care for pets however is requested by the owner(s), this just varies on what each dog is comfortable with. Dogs are in great care, however.

Shelley is a great sitter. She took great care of my dog, Coal. Coal was very happy and healthy when we picked her up. Shelley was great to work with. We had some travel issues and was very understanding and accommodating. I would definitely use Shelley again if we are ever in the area. She watched Coal while we were visiting some historical sites on vacation. It might be a while before we get back to Missouri. She gave us a hand drawn portrait of Coal when we picked her up. That was awesome.

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: I truly care about animals well-being. A pet can be a wonderful addition to any home, but whether you're an experienced pet parent or a first-time adopter, it's important to keep your pet companion's health and happiness a top priority. I enjoy playing with them and showing them new things. If someone leaves their dog with me they can feel completely safe they are taken well care of. I will treat any person's dog the same as I would my own. I know what to look for if the dog does not feel well or needs extra attention. I have a very good sense of dogs needs such as when they are hungry or need to go outside. I look forward to hearing from you. I work from home, so I can be with the pet full-time. I enjoy meeting new pets and owners and ensuring they have nothing to worry about while I am sitting. I work from home, so I can be with the pet full-time.
