Highly-rated overnight sitters - Beetown
“This was our first time with Karen and it was great. Easy drop off and pick up for our dog. She sent us an update ½ way through our vacation to let us know how he was doing, which was nice.”
“We have used Lottie twice now and feel so comfortable leaving our dog with her. She is very quick to respond, easy to communicate with and sends photos/updates while watching our dog.”
“Mark and his family were amazing with our dog! It was the first time we'd ever left him with anyone else, so we were a bit nervous when we dropped him off. Mark sent photos throughout the weekend letting us know how Griffin was doing, and we couldn't have asked for anyone better to take good care of our good boy.”
“Boarded my dog for the first time with Cassandra for four nights. She was very easy to work with and was very receptive to texts regarding our travel plans. She also snuck in a photo or two of our pup when giving us periodic updates on how he was doing. One day back home, and I think my dog is sad that all the friends he made at Cassandra's aren't here to play with him today.”
“Mya was very friend when I first reached out to her. She came to our home to meet our dog prior to any booking. Last week our dog had his first stay with Mya and I'm very happy to say he was well cared for and very much enjoyed his stay. We plan to use Mya for many future boarding plans.”
“Nicole and family took such great care of our dog, we are so thankful for the comfortable and caring home they gave to our dog while we were away! He got walks and lots of love and we couldn’t have hoped for more!”
“Jacqueline was amazing! From making me feel welcomed right from the first message to going above and beyond with communication, photos, updates and flexibity. 11/10 would recommend, if you care about your furry friend, with Jacqueline you can rest assured they are in safe hands :)”
“We were thrilled to see that Taylor was available to watch Kenny over the Fourth of July holiday. She makes things extremely easy (ha, yes, for both humans and pups). There is no doubt that she'll always be our first pick in the Dubuque area!”
“Ruth is absolutely amazing! From the moment we met her at our Meet and Greet, her love for dogs was so evident! She provided our Yadi with LOTS of love, one-on-one attention, walks, and play time while we were away. Ruth communicated with us during our entire absence, sending many photos and several videos. She is so energetic, fun-loving, and positive! We will definitely be contacting her again when we need someone to care for our fur baby. Ruth is a real gem!!”
About: I have recently started dog sitting in my home. I have helped friends and now opening my home to more furry companions to help your family. I am a teacher in Dubuque and have the summers off. During the school year I work from 7:30-4:00 and home full time in the summer months. My home has a fenced in yard and is in the perfect location for walking. I am willing to accommodate any of your family requests for your pet including giving medication, daily walks, play time, and special attention.
“Tammy and her family were amazing! Eli loved running around in the big fenced yard and playing with Ranger. He felt right at home and was napping on the couch in no time. We enjoyed getting updates when we were away and felt confident that Eli was in good hands. Very experienced family of pet sitters. Would recommend and hope they are available again to watch Eli.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities, including feeding, walking, playtime, and providing companionship while owners are away. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable in their routine, and I do my best to keep things familiar and stress-free. I’m reliable, attentive, and always treat every dog with care and patience. I maintain a very flexible routine and am home the majority of the day. I do volunteer a few hours daily, but I’m otherwise available to care for pets, provide attention, and keep them on their normal schedule.

I make sure pets are always supervised, comfortable, and kept in a clean, secure space where they can relax and feel at home.

If you could please let me know of any special needs your dog may require or want.
“JoAnna and her whole family went out of their way to really welcome Loki into their home. A puppy learning to stay away from home for the first time and interact with new people and dogs is a big step. I really appreciate the consideration they gave Loki.”

About: I am a very positive and outgoing person. I believe in the old-fashioned way of doing things and treating people. I have lots of experience taking care of numerous cats and dogs. I grew up living in the country and we always had lots of outdoor cats and a couple inside. Learning what treatments to give them and the right kind of food is very important to me. Along with this I have had a couple of dogs. Taking time on walk every morning was the best way to start my day. I currently have a puppy so I am very fresh on puppy training and tricks. I have an open schedule Monday through Friday and some weekends depending on what is going on. I currently travel with my boyfriend who works on the road so I have lots of time to spend with your furry friends. I will always keep a close eye on your pet as if they are my own. They are just as important as young children and must be watched and played with as such.

I am very respectful of individual needs and desires. I care that each animal receives the specific care it requires to stay happy and healthy.
“Samantha is AMAZING! She was so good with our high maintenance kitty and followed all of our directions. She even searched all of her hiding spots so she could check on her and send us a pic. Would recommend!!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Beetown
“Mya was great! She helped out fairly last minute dog sitting while we had movers at our house. Ollie had a great time playing with the other dogs, but was given some indoor puppy naptime/snuggle time too. She sent photo updates throughout the day. Highly recommended.”
“Becky was phenomenal! My dog was very anxious and being a bit of an a-hole when we first arrived, and Becky helped reassure me and put me at ease that things would settle down once I left (just as good with the "moms" as she is with the dogs!). Pictures that she sent throughout the day of my dog playing with hers showed me she was right! Penny had a great time playing with Phoenix, and Becky was very communicative throughout the day. She was also incredibly flexible and understanding of my last-minute scheduling changes. I will definitely be reaching out the next time I need a sitter!”
“Karen was awesome with Bailey. Really the first time Bailey hasn't been with me but Bailey got really excited when we would pull in. When we would get home she would need a nap from playing with Karen and the other dogs, a great place will be taking Bailey back. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi! I am an owner of a smart, service, doodle named Brody. I love all animal & have cared for many dog breeds and ages. I am currently working from home and have plenty of spare time. I am available weekdays/weekends & overnights to care for your furry friend 🐾 We live in a great, peaceful neighborhood with plenty of backyard space for your pup to exercise, play & have plenty of potty breaks. I have undivided love for animals and believe they deserve the best care. I have a young boy that love dogs. Our home is very pet friendly. If your pup likes to relax on the sofa, sprawl out on the floor or snuggle in bed it's all 100% acceptable!
About: I’m new to this site, but I have had the pleasure of owning several dogs. I have dealt with multiple dog personalities, so i'd say I have the knowledge to address many types of dogs. I am a very active person, so I would be glad to give your dog a workout. I look forward to seeing my furry counterparts! I am available to dog walk/ take care of pets during the week day, after 9 pm. On Friday and Saturday, I am able to pet sit. On Sunday, I am able to offer any service aside from pet sitting or pet boarding. I am able to feed, provide water, bathe, and walk pets. I am also able to brush pets, and play with them.

“It was great to pick up a happy & exhausted pup after a long day at work. Took him for multiple walks in a day. Responds quickly & is friendly. Merlin was very comfortable around him. Will book again!”
About: Nestled in the quiet countryside, I offer loving, in-home boarding for dogs and cats in a peaceful, natural setting. With plenty of fresh air, daily walks, and attentive care, your pets are treated like family while they’re away from home. Able to care for animals at all stages in their life. I love taking long walks with canine companions! Your dogs will not be unleashed on a walk unless your specify! A client’s cat or dog fits naturally into my daily routine because their care is built around their needs, not a rigid schedule. Each day follows a calm, predictable flow—morning feedings, medications if needed, fresh air, walks or supervised outdoor time for dogs, and quiet check-ins or play for cats—mirroring what they’re used to at home as closely as possible. Throughout the day, I weave in one-on-one attention, enrichment, rest, and observation, so pets aren’t just “fit in,” but thoughtfully included in a rhythm that keeps them comfortable, engaged, and well cared for from morning to night. Tailoring your services starts with seeing each pet as an individual, not a “one-size-fits-all” guest. Begin with a detailed intake or meet-and-greet to learn the pet’s routine, personality, energy level, medical needs, fears, and preferences. From there, you can adjust care in a few key ways: • Routine-based care: Match feeding times, walk schedules, playtime, and sleep habits as closely as possible to what the pet is used to at home. • Personality-aware handling: Offer extra quiet and space for shy or senior pets, more structured play and exercise for high-energy dogs, and gentle, low-stress interactions for anxious animals. • Health-focused support: Follow specific instructions for medications, mobility limits, special diets, or senior care, and keep careful notes so nothing is missed. • Environment choices: Decide whether a pet thrives with social interaction or prefers solo time, indoor lounging, or outdoor exploration in your country setting.
“Derek was flexible and my dogs loved him. 1 of my dogs has a lot of anxiety & I assumed would stay hid from him the whole time. She’s had no problems warming up to him. (She still even barks at my brother, sometimes.) I recommend & we look forward to seeing Derek again.”
About: Hi! My name is Ryley! I’ve had pets of my own since I was 6 years old, and have been caring for them since. I started helping others care for their animals since I was about 12 years old, and do obedience training on the side. I currently have no traditional employment, and am home basically at all times. I like to go for regular walks and can bring your pet with me, as well as help with bathroom breaks while you’re at work, or vet visits when you’re busy! I have an open yard with a fenced in dog park within a 5 minute walk. I have a crate available, and extra rooms if the animal doesn’t enjoy crates.

About: Hi! My name is Mikayla, and I have a lifelong passion for animals and their care. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every dog in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. I have experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. In addition to pet sitting and daily care, I work with dogs on basic obedience and agility training using positive reinforcement methods. I enjoy helping dogs build confidence, learn good manners, and have fun while staying active. I also provide dog grooming services on the side, which has given me experience handling dogs in a calm, safe, and patient manner. Because of my grooming background, I am comfortable recognizing when a dog may be stressed, anxious, or in need of extra care and attention. Whether your pet enjoys walks, playtime, training, cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I believe every pet deserves individualized care, and I strive to make their time with me as enjoyable and stress-free as possible.
