Personalized care for your dog or cat - Ottumwa

“Stewart was able to accommodate us last minute for a few hours of doggie daycare while we met up with old high school friends in Ottuma. Stewart and his dog, Sophie were both great. Stewart sent pictures and had a large fenced back yard and a lot of toys for Maddie to play with. Callie felt at home and cuddles on Stewart with Sophie while Maddie napped among the toys LOL. THANK YOU Stewart for making us feel comfortable and taking great care of our babies.”

“She always does so well with my dog. I get lots of photos and updates so I am always comfortable while gone! My dog can be nervous with new people and dogs but does so well with them. She even initiates playing with her dogs!”

About: I’ve had dozens of people rely on me in the past to care for their dogs - walking, dog park, baths, feed - I’ll do it all! I currently work full time from the comfort of my home with my 6 little loves. I’m available mornings & evenings for drop ins but can do mid day as well! My go-to is taking pups to the dog park whether that’s alone or with friends to let them explore and have fun! We enjoy the outdoors so our pups love hiking, swimming, and playing fetch!!

About: Hello, I have lots of experience caring for pets. I also have a lot of flexibility and would be willing to work with you and your fur friends. I am able to do walks, drop ins, play time, feeding and overnight or longer term care. As well as cleaning up after pets and bath times. I have much flexibility. I’m able to work most days, especially with notice. The more ahead of time notice I get the better I can prepare. I have 4 cats and we do feeding time 2-3 times a day. We clean litter boxes daily. We also try to incorporate play time with each one wheneve possible. With clients, it will have to be at their home, I am able to do feeding, cleaning, excercise and play. As well as spending time frames when needed so they aren’t lonely for too long.

About: I have been around animals of all kinds throughout my life. Dogs, especially have been a constant for me. Life’s always better with a dog around. I am retired so care is available 24/7. I'm available to communicate with you throughout the day. Whether you like pictures or just random check-ins. I have a large fenced in backyard. Lots of room for running and playing. I have a small schnoodle, Sophie who gets along and plays well with other dogs. She always loves the extra company.

“Our cat Misty had an unexpected medical condition come up shortly before we were due to be away in MN for our wedding and she required a pill twice a day. Ali was able to drop in to give Misty her medicine, some love, and us a piece of mind so we could enjoy our special weekend. We appreciated how easy she was to work with, her knowledge of animals, her communication with us when we checked in, and of course the pictures she sent of our baby.”

About: I have had all kinds of diffrent dogs growing up along with other animals, I currently watch a few dogs and cat, wich involves feeding walking and playing with them!

I currently go to clients homes to take care of their pets, wich involves feeding, watering, walking them, and give them love and play with them!

“Stewart responded to our request the evening before we had a golf scramble and needed someone to watch our 90 lb Bernedoodle. His little Sofie kept Reuben occupied and we felt comfortable knowing Stewart had a fenced in backyard for him to exercise.”

About: I’ve had dogs all my life but within the past 4 years I’ve been dog sitting and taking care of others dogs. I love spending time with dogs and will make sure they are happy and healthy. Walking, brushing, feeding, and even giving medication are all normal things I’ve done while dog sitting. I make sure to communicate well and follow the rules and comments you’ve made for your dog. I want your pet to be as comfortable as possible. :) I currently only work two days a which, those two days do vary week by week. I am a student but my classes are online so I am typically available at short notice if needed. I am more than happy to chat about a schedule that is convenient for you and your pup. I currently have two dogs so I do not offer dog sitting in my home. In your home or even for walks you can expect me to follow all rules, after all this is your dog. Walking, brushing, kenneling, and giving medication if needed are all things I am comfortable with.

“Sonja was excellent with my senior dog - he appreciated the treat and the care she provided!”

“Booked for dog walking and I am confident my dog also gives her 5 stars. My dog loved Ali immediately, first sight. Ali is attentive to her and clearly skilled with her. My dog is intelligent and PARTICULAR about leaving me. Notoriously bad at taking commands from strangers. When Ali arrived for just the second walk, my dog was loving her and ready to head out at the first sight of her. And my dog gets long walks every day the weather allows, so walking alone is not the draw here. Ali communicates beautifully with me as an owner, does great follow-up when she returns from the walk, and clearly loves what she does. No complaints in my house. I don't generally leave my dog care to anyone else, but Ali”
