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.

“This was my first time boarding my small dog and I was anxious. Kayla and her family were very warm and welcoming and took good care of Belle. She was very happy to see me and still ran to Kayla for last minute cuddles. I would board her with Kayla again if I could! I left a tip with her husband. Thank you!”

“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!”

“This was the first time with Katherine. Rylee(dog) seemed very calm and relaxed when picking her up. The photo shot gave me a sense of relief in see she was acclimated to her new environment. Thank you!”

“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.”

About: I love cats and have 2 of my own, whom receive good care and lots of love. I know cat language very well so I know when the cat is overwhelmed or anxious.

“Coree was reliable, friendly and took great care of my cat, Flipper. I was gone for a week and she came in daily to care, feed and play. I will use her again and would recommend 👌 her to Ft. Madison, Iowa area residents.”

“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.”

I work remotely so care is available 24/7. Im around for walks morning & evening, and available to communicate and send pics throughout your pets stay. I provide extra love and care to make sure your pet is fed, exercised, loved on, and super happy while you're away. I will send pics while you're gone so you can see what a wonderful time we're having together.

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. I enjoy meeting new pets and owners and ensuring they have nothing to worry about while I am sitting. I give the same care to pets, whether at home or with clients.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. I use to show them in 4H when I was younger. I’m a stay at home mom, so I can give your dog plenty of attention throughout the day! They’ll be able to run, have fun, be played with, and get lots of potty breaks! I am home all day, everyday! Therefore I am available to take them potty as much as they need, take them on walks, play with them. Whatever their needs are. I’m here for them! I have two big outdoor kennels for the nice weather days, but they are also welcome in our home. We have a tiny little rat terrier and then a boxer that love other dogs. They’re very friendly and playful. I can crate your dog, or put them in the outdoor big kennels that have coverage, or if they are good at free roaming indoors, they’re welcome to free roam the house.
