About: I have lived with animals and taken care of them all of my life. As an adolescent, I had several dogs (sizes ranging from a chihuahua to a saint bernard mix) that I would frequently take on walks, clean up after, feed, play with, and overall care for. I also worked with a service dog trainer for about a year to train a dog I had in the past since she was three months old. I will be going to college in August, but until then I am completely free to watch, walk, or visit any furbabies at any time for as long as needed! (Starting May 25th, as I do not move to Cedar Falls until then) My cat is rather spoiled with hundreds of toys, constant access to food, and lots and lots of love. I understand the importance of socializing your animals to new people and other animals, and take it very seriously, hence why he is an absolute cuddlebug for everyone that meets him! I would make sure to give the same amount of care and attention to your pets. Spending as much time as they need to socialize, play, and relax, as every pet is different and has different needs!

About: Over the past several years I have helped care for family and friend’s pets. I currently have 4 chaotic cats. I’ve always loved looking after our 4 legged friends! I am currently doing factory work so my schedule is a bit more limited. I am fully available three days of the week, and the other four I am available 3:30-10pm. I can walk dogs as needed, as well as provide the attention and play that they need. I am also able to ensure all the owners rules or guidelines are kept to standard.

About: I have been pet sitting for three years so family friends and have always been asked back or recommended to others. I will love and care for your pets including walks, play time, pets or cuddles. Typically I will start work at 4:30-5pm going to about 9:30pm and no later than 10:30pm without communication with pet owner. Before my 4:30 shifts on scheduled days I can walk, feed, and play with your pet as much as they need. I have one medium sized older dog in my home who does not care much for other dogs at his age and a male cat that keeps to his own as well. We have a medium sized fenced in yard and a large safe neighborhood to walk around. In your home I am easy to adjust to your pets daily routine and needs.

About: I’ve had pets and taken care of them since I was a kid. I have also taken care of the pets of friends and neighbors. Everyone I has been very happy with the care their fur babies received! I currently work from home and am flexible with my availability. I am available for drop in visits and walks throughout the day as well as more continuous care, depending on the situation. I can care for your pets in your home following your instructions to accomodate how you and your pets are most comfortable and the schedule they are used to while you’re away

“Claire is wonderful to work with and takes great care of my babies!”

About: I have always loved pets and appreciated the love they give us in return. Growing up, our household always had a dog and a couple cats with the occasional fish or two as well. I currently live with two very precious cats that need a lot of love and attention. As someone who truly loves furry (and not always furry) friends, I understand the importance of taking care of them, just like how they take care of us. I am currently a student at UNI and have a few part-time jobs, but I have a lot of flexibility in my daily schedule. My evenings are usually the busiest time for me with various rehearsals and concerts, but those are scheduled in advance and are easy to plan for. Having been around pets my whole life, I know how to respect a pet's boundaries and how to gain their trust. I understand that I am a stranger in their home and that it can take time and patience for them to welcome me.

About: Hi! I’m Kennedy, I’m experienced with dogs of all temperaments and routines. I love getting outside for walks, playing fetch, and giving all the cuddles in between. I’ll treat your dog like family and make sure they get all the love and attention they deserve while you’re gone. I’m experienced with dogs of all temperaments and routines I am currently working part time so I have time to care for animals in the afternoons and evenings. I am also in nursing school but have availability on some weekends. I have a fenced yard which allows dogs to exercise and play without the fear of them running away or losing sight of the dogs.

About: I have been a dedicated dog lover and caregiver for as long as I can remember. My experience ranges from raising my own beloved Boxers in the past to regularly working with a wide variety of breeds and sizes. Because I used to own Boxers, I am very experienced with high-energy, medium-to-large dogs. However, I consistently work with dogs across the entire spectrum. This goes from larger breeds like English Mastiffs to small breeds like Terriers and Chihuahua mixes. Beyond my personal history with pets, I am a certified Humane Society volunteer. Whether your dog is high-energy or a just likes to chill, I am committed to providing a safe, fun, and reliable environment tailored to their specific needs. I am fully comfortable administering medications (with provided instructions) and am experienced with most harness types. I also love sending photo and video updates so you can see exactly how your pup is doing! My schedule is currently limited as I finish my senior year, but I will have much more flexibility starting in June! During the summer, I will be balancing pet care with some part-time babysitting and occasional family trips. I am very diligent about keeping my booking calendar up to date, so please check my specific availability for your dates. I love spending my free time making sure your pups get plenty of exercise and attention! I will take great care to follow your specific house rules and keep your pets comfortable in their own space. I make it a point to double-check that all doors and gates are locked and that your dog is always secure on their leash during outdoor time. My goal is to maintain your pet's normal routine while giving you peace of mind with regular photo updates and clear communication throughout the stay.

“Benjamin was outstanding. I have a shy and nervous GSD who he cared for like her was his own dog. They got along great! Frequent picture updates and narratives about how each visit went. Would absolutely have him watch over my doggo again!”

“Our situation was a new three-year-old rescue of a new-to-us breed and our very first experience hiring a drop-in service over boarding while I had surgery over an hour away. I can't recommend Sydney enough. She was patient, kind, intuitive, and did amazing with Lucy and was incredibly flexible working with us on my ever-changing surgery schedule. Very intelligent in her mind and heart. Will definitely rebook!”

Christina K.

“Megan was wonderful! Communicates very well took care of bear like if it was her own pet! Absolutely recommend Meagan! Looked after bear for about 6 months, I was very please.”

About: I have had pets for as long as I remember. Cats, dogs, hamsters, I’d have a farm of animals if I could! My excitement to meet a new animal never fades.
