“Karen's facility was a perfect home-away-from-home for our pup Kinley. There was lots of room for play and great surroundings on the farm to keep her curious and happy. Everything was well maintained - safe and clean. Most importantly Kinley got lots of socialization with other dogs and with Karen herself. I highly recommend Karen as she loves dogs, is easy to work with, and responds very quickly to all questions. She sent a few pictures throughout the stay that helped us relax on our vacation because we could see how well Kinley was being cared for.”

“I can’t say enough great things about Candi and the care she took with our two dogs. I’ve never felt so comfortable with “boarding” my dogs while I was gone for a long trip. I knew they were being treated like part of her family. She sent videos and pictures to keep me updated. My big dog ended up having some stomach issues and Candi didn’t skip a beat. We called my vet and she picked up some meds and got her back on track. Her four dogs were great with mine - they had such a blast. Not sure who enjoyed the vacation more, me or the dogs. She also has a beautiful acreage for them to run around and get fresh air. Wish I would have found her earlier! Thank you Candi!”

About: I have years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and more! I love all animals and will treat them with love and all the snuggles. I can administer inhalers for animals, and other medications. My dog and cat are very sweet and love having other animals visit. I look forward to meeting your pets! I currently work from home, and can care for your pets with the flexibility they require. I love going for walks and spending time outdoors. I have a large yard, and many rooms to keep your pets feeling safe and comfortable. My dog and cat are both friendly and enjoy when other animals come to visit.

“Rachel and the team (dog friends) were wonderful. So much personal care and attention. Lots of exercise and cuddles. She is GREAT. We can't recommend her enough. We will most definitely book again. Thank you for taking such great care of our pup.”

About: I have taken care of cats for years. Rather they have been outside cats or a family friends cats. I am currently working at the Iowa county humane society. I always note if something is wrong or if I notice something new. I will send the owners updates on how their animals are doing.

“Ann is a thorough and caring sitter. She looked in our cat while we were away for a long weekend. Because he is an indoor/outdoor cat, the care instructions are a bit different than an indoor only cat. Ann followed through on all which we really appreciated. Plus, she took the time to give Toby plenty of attention during her visits which he loves. She is terrific!”

About: I have taken care of cats for around 5 years, and am very reliable. I know all the good scratch areas as well as how to give them the love and care they need to develop trust.

“Sage was in good hands with Candida! When we picked him up he seemed to be tired, but in good spirits from a lovely day playing with the other pups in Candida's care. I loved all the photos Candida sent and she has such a lovely home. Would 100% book again! Thank you so much!!”

“Louie loves going to daycare at Karen’s! He’s so excited to socialize with Bella and run around the play yard. I can always tell he gets plenty of exercise because he snoozes soon after we get home. Karen goes above and beyond with being flexible and is fast with communication. Thank you Karen for taking care of Louie!”

“Close to House on the Rock. Wish we didn't have had to cancel”

About: I genuine care and give attention to every dog as if they were my own. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs. I’m comfortable working with puppies who are still learning routines, including basic training and potty schedules, and I’m also gentle and mindful with senior dogs who may need slower walks, medication reminders, or extra comfort. My goal is to make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while their owner is away. I currently work only 2 days out of the week, but my schedule is very flexible, and can switch days if need be! Will accommodate I care for pets by making sure they stay comfortable and follow the routine they’re used to. In a client’s home, I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention so pets feel safe while their owner is away. I also keep the home tidy and make sure pets stay on their normal schedule. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean environment with supervised play, regular potty breaks, exercise, and lots of affection. I always pay close attention to each pet’s needs, personality, and any special instructions from the owner to make sure they feel happy and cared for.

About: I’ve been a proud dog owner for over 15 years, and caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. Over the years, I’ve gained hands on experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, from energetic puppies to senior pups. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve volunteered at local animal shelters, where I helped walk, feed, and socialize dogs from all backgrounds. I'm comfortable with a variety of breeds and activity levels, and I always tailor my approach to each dog’s individual needs, whether it’s a long walk for an active dog, playtime and enrichment for a curious pup, or calm companionship for an older one. My goal is to make every dog feel happy, safe, and loved. I don't have much experience with cats but am eager to learn and help any cat parent that needs it. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule that allows me to check on or walk pets during the day or anytime during the week. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m walking your dog, visiting for a drop in, or staying in your home, I make sure each pet feels relaxed, secure, and loved. During walks, I always use secure leashes, avoid unsafe areas, and keep a close eye on your dog’s behavior and surroundings. For drop in visits, I follow your routine for feeding, playtime, and potty breaks to keep things consistent and stress free. When staying in your home, I treat your space with respect and keep everything clean and tidy while maintaining your pet’s usual schedule.

“Clayton did a great job with Ozzy! Ozzy can be a real handful on his walks, but Clayton did a great job. I really appreciated the pictures from the walks and the report card. I would recommend Clayton to anyone who wanted any of the services you provide for dogs. I will definitely be using Clayton services in the future.”

“Jessica has been walking our dog for over a year. She is great with him and he gets so excited when she arrives. We have also had drop in visits that helped us out. Highly recommend her services.”

About: I have been taking care of animals ever since I was little, between dogs, cats, reptiles, and even farm animals such as dairy cows, pigs, goats, chickens, rabbits, and guinea pigs. I have open availability so I can take pets anytime and any day. I can do both cats and dogs as I have experience in both and experience in different energy levels I have a fence for my pets, we play with toys, and we go on walks (depending on the weather). My dog will sleep where she is most comfortable and she always goes to the bathroom on time.
