Personalized care for your dog or cat - Carthage

“Shelley was great with our dog. We’ve only had him for a short time but he’s had a 2 year journey prior to us and is very timid and shy. She did great with him, making him comfortable, and he enjoyed playing with her dogs. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing he was in great hands!”

“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!”

“Julie was great with my kitty. He had never been around other cats or dogs before and she made sure to give him his own room while he slowly adjusted to being around other animals. She sent pictures and videos daily. Louie had a great time!”

“Debbie is the best. Our dog had trouble with going potty inside and she still took great care of him. He is very timid around people he doesn’t know and Debbie was very comforting to him. You don’t leave your dog with just anyone and Debbie is very special!”

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for countless pets, and I still love every moment of it! I’m the proud dog mom of three and have been surrounded by animals my whole life.

I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing them with love, attention, and top-quality care. I offer house sitting, drop-in visits, dog walking, and doggy daycare. Whether your pet needs a cozy place to stay, a mid-day walk, or care in the comfort of your home, I ensure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise. I also have experience working with pets of all temperaments, including shy or anxious animals. I love building long-term relationships with clients and their pets. If you’re looking for a reliable, experienced, and passionate pet sitter, I’d love to help!

In my home, I provide a secure, pet-friendly environment with ample space for pets to feel relaxed and at ease. I ensure the area is pet-proofed, keeping hazardous items out of reach. For house sitting, I treat your home with the utmost respect, following any specific care instructions you provide. I take extra care with introductions to ensure pets feel safe and comfortable.

“Chris was awesome! She took Ophelia on short notice, showed me the whole setup and introduced me to the other dogs, sent updates and photos, and clearly our dog had a lot of fun! Definitely recommend her.”

“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.”

“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.”
