Cat Sitting in Van Cleve

“Sasha is a very reliable pet sitter and we were in constant contact about my 3 guinea pigs throughout my two-week trip away. :) As a person who is anxious about leaving her guinea pigs alone, she was very sensitive to that and made sure that my worries were eased by providing updates and completing my day by day requests. She follows care instructions carefully and exactly. Daily guinea pig care can be a little messy, and I'm glad she was up for it! She took my last minute booking request, and we met prior to my departure to get through care instructions! Thank you so much, Sasha!”

“Angie did a great job taking care of my two kitties they were both relaxed, healthy, and happy when I returned. I highly recommend her... she spent a good amount of time each visit not only feeding and cleaning up but also holding and petting them. I am booking her again for my next trip this coming February.”

“Sasha watched my 2 cats in my house while I was out of town. She was very professional and prompt with communication and sent photos every day. My cats are very wary of new people and she made an effort to interact with them on a level they were comfortable with. I will be thinking of Sasha in the future when I need someone to take care of my cats.”

“Amy is wonderful pet sitter. She is very responsible and punctual. Amy asked a lot of details about my cat and how to care about him. It was very easy to communicate with her - she sent a report about each visit (with photos) and responded promptly and in detail. I recommend her as a pet sitter.”

“Super great pet care!! Each check in was described well and I got photos of my pets each time. She even met me an extra time so I could hand over my keys before leaving, and was super understanding when I forgot to send a delivery code once! I felt like my pets were in great hands!”

“Kylee has strong attention to detail with dogs. She has a gentle touch and a solid foundation in canine obedience. Kylee is not someone who just wants to hang out with your dog, she wants to ENRICH them while in her care. Kylee is not just a "dog lover", she is a dog "person"”

“I can’t say enough good things about Caitlyn! I work a lot and sometimes have very long workdays if I have to do a double shift. Caitlyn always makes sure that my three dogs are happy and content. I have three dogs, two German shepherds and a Great Pyrenees. They can be a lot for people to handle sometimes but Caitlyn has done fantastic! I’d highly recommend for anyone else who wants their own pets taken care of like family!!”

“We know Jolene as Jody. We had Jody care for brother & sister pupples Chase and Chloe. They were 16 yrs old. Jody cared for the with loving care. She has experience with animals and there was never a problem. Because of their age she kept them inside her home. I would recommend Jody's services to anyone that needed care for their puppies. We lost Chase and Chloe this last year.”

“Emma is a responsible and loving dog mom, to her own dog, Luma. As a pet caregiver, she will treat your fur baby as well as her own. You can count on Emma to go above and beyond, to give your pet all of the attention and care that they need.”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 11 for my neighbors during the summer. Later on, during high school, my family adopted a dog as we planned to train her to be a service dog for my sister. I helped care for Lexi and even taught her some tricks like shake in exchange for belly rubs. I could also help with Pet Transportation and Pet Walking. I'm currently enrolled in college but am free every weekend. I am also available Monday and Friday nights. However, I do not currently own a pet, but I have had to care of my sibling's pets since they were younger and often forgot to do it. I have cared for my sister's dog Lexi and my brother's hermit crabs, and will sometimes take care of my aunt's dogs. I am often good with pets after meeting them. I normally list down important information related to the pets. I also often ask for more detail on how I can accommodate the client's pet.

“Ellie has worked with animals for over 10 years. They are receptive to her and show immediate trust. With her job skills from working at different zoos, she has worked with a variety of animals with their care, nutrition, exercise, and habitat. She would be an excellent addition to the field.”

“Donna has had several pets throughout her life that she has taken care of through thick and thin. She loves animals, especially dogs. I feel she would be a good fit for anyone looking to trust someone to sit with their dog.”

About: Hi! My name is Karynna and I have taken care of many different dogs at all stages of their life. Family, friends, and neighbors have relied on me to watch their pets. I just graduated in May at DesMoines Area Community College. I have a lot of free time to spend with animals, I am usually available at anytime. My boyfriend and I have a cat named Marvin, he is a little younger than 2 years old. We also have a great pyrenees. She is almost 3 years old and weighs 110lbs. They are our pride and joy so I know how it feels to leave your furry babies at home. But I will do everything in my will to make it a fun and calming experience for everyone! I have a lot of free time, therefore I am available most days. I will mark off the days that I am not. I am very excited to meet some amazing animals! At my apartment I will take Boo, our great pyrenees on daily, afternoon or night walks. I also take her out 2-3 times a day just to potty. When Boo is on her last potty for the day I will also bring our cat Marvin. He loves the dog park!

“They had great communication!!!!”

“I appreciate how Makayla is kind and attentive to animals. She shows responsibility with all that is involved in taking care of animals. I am grateful that I have Makayla to take care of our animals.”

“Katie watched my dogs/ house for a month while I was in Texas she did so good . She medicated my dog 3 times a day for me . I came home to a cleaner house then when I left she did a very good job and did everything I asked her too.”

About: I’ve had cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, and horses growing up. Having a wide range of animals growing up has helped me learn what a pet is wanting and needing. I’m currently a college student, my evening can be flexible as well as my weekends! Willing to work with owners to create a balance that works for me and your pets. I would prefer to have your pet in your home! I think that will be best for your pets safety and mine too. I’m willing to do what the owner is wanting for their pets comfortability.

About: I grew up around a variety of animals. From pigs to cows. Sheep, goats, rabbits, hamsters, dogs, cats, fish, and more. I’ve seen and cared for so many animals growing up with a farm in the country and living in suburbs during school time! I know animals are too good for humans. Therefore I will do anything I can to always care and help animals in need. I can confidently say your animals is in safe hands :) As a college student, tending for my animals is a big responsibility. Feeding and maintaining the happiness of my pets is a great joy in my life. It is just a task that comes with caring for any animals. It is always worth the responsibility. Having two cats in my home allows for me to clean the litter box, provide food daily, take my cats for time outside, and to provide them with endless petting sessions. A clean environment ensures the pets happiness and well being.

“Desirae is a very smart, kind, loving, and very passionate about animals. She is currently enrolled at Ellsworth Community College, studying to become a Veterinarian. Desirae loves spending time with animals. Your pet would be in excellent care with Desirae. Desirae loves to be outside, walking, playing, with your pet would be a bonus for her.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was around 8 or 9. I’ve fed, walked, and cleaned up after my family’s pets and also have worked at a doggie daycare and boarder for the past few years. I’m working part time at a doggie daycare and boarder and should have some time each day to fit caring for and playing with your pet in! I would care for your pet in your home the way you want me to. If you have a safe crate you want them to stay in, I will put them in there while I am away.
