From daily walks to specific dietary and other needs, we tailor care to match your pet's routine and personality! We're familiar with common training techniques/commands and behavior cues.

I’ve incorporated daily and weekly pet care into my routine by setting aside specific times for feeding, grooming, play, and walks. It’s become a natural part of my schedule, and I enjoy the structure it brings to my day. Taking care of my pets is rewarding, and it helps me stay mindful of balancing responsibilities with quality time. I will come back to this. I wrote this out and need to find it and come back and type it here and will do that shortly.
“Very happy with Brandon and Brianna watching our three girls!! They were so good about making sure to confirm about dog sitting directions, sending status and pictures!! We will definitely use them again!!”
“Josh did an amazing job with Kona for our vacation. He kept us up to date with walks and pictures, which we appreciate with being away from our pup. Definitely recommend him ! Very responsible and takes great care of your home while living there.”
“Kuennen took great care of my Willie boy! Communication was great, she sent pictures, and she made sure he wasn’t too anxious when I was gone and there were fireworks for the holiday.”
“Kinzley did a great job taking care of Missy while I was gone. Would definitely use her again. Sent pictures and let me know how things were going.”
“Brie was great to work with, she did a great job and sent the cutest pictures of our pups. It was a last minute booking at a tough time in our family and she was so kind and easy to work with that we had absolutely no worries about our sweet girls getting the best care.”
“Jeanette took great care of our three dogs. We have two elderly dogs that require more care and we felt at ease leaving them with her. She sent us updates and pictures. I highly recommend her!!”
“Anden was such a fantastic house/dog/cat sitter. We highly recommend her. It’s always nerve-wracking leaving our floofs and home with a new sitter; and Anden set our worries to rest. She was highly communicative, sent regular pics and videos of floof cuteness to reassure us that everyone was doing well, and we arrived home to a clean house and happy, calm pets. Moreover, Anden gracefully handled several unexpected situations that arose. The first night we were gone, a storm took down several trees in our very long driveway- Anden immediately informed us and reassured us that she, her car, the pets, and our house were okay until we were able to get someone to clear the drive the next day. Then when we were delayed overnight on our journey home, Anden was flexible and agreed to stay an extra day to make sure the floofs were ok. We won’t hesitate to contact her again!”
About: I have my associates degree in Veterinary Technology! I previously have worked at dog/cat boarding facilities, and vet clinics. I have had dogs, cats, & goats throughout my life! I currently have my dog living with me here in Cedar Rapids, & 2 cats back in Indiana living with my parents. I am comfortable with any size dog & weight. I am also comfortable with medications if necessary! I am currently unemployed so I have all the time in the day or night for whatever your pet needs! I am very comfortable with whatever your pet needs whether it’s constant attention & playing for 2 hours, or even the ones who prefer to have their own space & only need check ins. Whatever your pet needs I am happy to provide! My dog is spoiled to the max & I ensure your pet will receive the same treatment! I am down for just opening a door to let them out in their backyard or walks around their neighborhood!
“Tiffany took great care of our dog Cody. Her daughter was great with Cody also. We have used her twice for house sitting Cody.”
“This was our second time booking with Ashleigh and she was great! Our flight home got delayed a couple of hours and Ashleigh was able to go back over and care for our pup for a little longer, which we were very thankful for!”
“Excellent care & great communication & very professional!”
“Samuel has watched our puppy a couple times now and is always communicative and thorough. We appreciate his patience as our puppy grows and learns manners. :-)”
“Thank you for taking such good care of my fur baby and communicating with me throughout your overnight stay. Definitely eased my nerves and I knew she was good hands! Look forward to booking with you in the future.”
“Savannah was very communicative and flexible with our last minute needs and house full of pets! It was our first time leaving our house to someone who wasn’t a family member and we didn’t have a worry or doubt at all.”
“Mia did an OUTSTANDING job caring for our dog and two cats. She sent us daily updates w photos of walks, playtime, and even did a photo shoot with our dog! She did a home stay for 4 nights and our house was impeccable when we returned. To say I would hire her again is an understatement. We’re convinced our pup misses her and we wish we could hire her indefinitely. If you pass on having her watch your pets you are missing out, if I could give ten stars, I would ❤️❤️❤️”
“There’s truly nothing we could say to adequately convey how awesome Reilly was. He met every hope for how our dogs would be loved but also went above and beyond in unexpected ways again and again and again. We will absolutely book with Reilly again every time!”
“Sasa did an amazing job with my dogs. They are a challenge I know. She handled them like they were her own. I would hire her again for sure. She was amazing with them.”
“Leah was wonderful with our pup while we were away for 10 days. She was communicative, reliable and kept the house tidy. I know our pup felt happy and secure with her here. We would definitely re-book with Leah!”
About: I have always been a dog lover since I was young, I have had dogs basically my whole life and now I will be starting vet school in the fall! I currently am giving myself a break this summer before I start Vet School this August so doing pet care, walks, sitting will fit perfectly into my routine! I take my dog and my sisters dog for a 4 mile walk everyday. Growing up I had all the responsibilities of caring for a dog, feeding, walking, cleaning, etc. I have worked at two dog daycare boarding facilities for years (Heartland and Cedar Run)!

“Haley was an amazing dog sitter for us several times. She truly loves and cares about animals and it shows! You will not have to worry if she will show up on time or how long she will be there. She always played, petted and snuggled our dog. Which by the way was a Rottweiler. He warmed up to Haley right away and she became one of his favorite people. I cannot recommend Haley enough for all animals big and small!!”
