Baylee is wonderful. I trust her completely with my elderly dog. She's very knowledgeable about the proper way to introduce dogs to each other and it's obvious she cares deeply about animals

Jenny did a great job making my anxious dog comfortable. She also did a great job making this anxious owner comfortable by sending pictures and updates throughout Comet's time at her house. Thank you Jenny!

About: I grew up with dogs and love them! I am a current dog mom to a spunky 3 year old golden retriever. We spent two years training him in home and out. I am currently a work from home employee so I am happy to let the pups out at any time of the day and can walk them after work. I have a decent sized fenced in back yard for the dogs to play in! My dog is super friendly and will love having play dates. He is neutered as well!

Rachel was great! Very friendly, open and responsive! And she was so considerate and kind around this being Cosmo’s first time away from home without family -both with him and with me. I appreciated her updates too. Plan to have Cosmo visit again. Thank you!

About: With over a decade of dedicated pet care experience, I've honed my skills as a compassionate caregiver. My journey began with my best friend, Franklin, a thirteen-year-old dog whose loyalty has taught me the true meaning of responsibility and empathy. From late-night walks to soothing belly rubs, I've embraced every moment, cherishing the bond we share. Ultimately, our animals aren't just pets; they're family. We treat them like family, spoil them like family, and love them like family. You can rely on me to go above and beyond for your furry friends! Rest assured, I am committed to providing your animals with the exceptional care they deserve, mirroring the love and attention I give my best friend. As a teacher, I cherish my breaks and am eager to fill them with something I'm genuinely passionate about, ensuring our pets live their happiest lives possible! In both my home and my clients' homes, I prioritize creating a nurturing environment where pets feel comfortable and loved. This includes regular feeding schedules, ample exercise tailored to their needs, and plenty of playtime and affection. Additionally, I am able to maintain open communication with pet owners to ensure their specific preferences and requirements are met.

About: I am happy to help you and your family in anyway I can! I keep my rates low so your pet can get quality individualized care at a reasonable cost. My husband and I adopted a black lab mix from the humane society. We are training her to be a therapy dog. Growing up I had a variety of small breed dogs. We also have a cat adopted from Cedar Bend. We recently moved into our first house and have a fenced in yard. We also live close to paw park. I can stop in and check on your furry friend, give them a bathroom break, play with them, feed them, and do any other cares you request. We can board dogs or cats on the weekend if they are potty trained and get along well with our cat and dog. I work from home so I am free for daycare. Looking forward to working with you soon! I have a fenced in yard. We have a black lab mix and a cat to keep your pet company. We enjoy all the extra cuddles and play time when we host a pet. I am currently working from home and am able to take care of pets during the week and on the weekends. We are flexible with pick up/drop off. We let our dog go outside to the bathroom and/or to play in our fenced in yard every 4 hours minimally. She is welcome on the furniture. If we are on a walk she’s always on the leash.

I have used Angie for in home drop ins and in home day care at her place. I had a senior dog and she took the time to learn his needs, and understands the personality of high strung crazy golden retriever. Also love getting the text and picture updates. She was very willing to help me out when I was in pinch also!

Highly recommend Jan, she was professional and greeted Mabel with affection!! She did have a couple other dogs during Mabels stay, and she was cautious as she introduced them to each other. We could tell Mabel enjoyed here stay as she had to go give Jan hugs before we left. We will definetly use jan again!

About: Since I was young, I have always been around pets of all sizes. My parents had dogs of all types and sizes which range from a large German Shepherd/Siberian husky mix all the way down to a cute little Cockapoo. We love on all of our animals and treat them just as family, they are our entire world! Throughout the time, I got my fair share of walking the dogs daily, feeding them morning and night (unless they were a puppy that required more) and just being able to love on them all the time! I have raised all 4 dogs alongside my family so I am aware of what to do in circumstances! Walking dogs is a great time for both me and your dog because they get exercise and I get to relax with nature and a pup! Caring for dogs and seeing their tails wag when their owner or loved one comes in the door is one of the sweetest things to see! I'm currently a student at UNI and have a part time job in Waterloo. Having the flexibility in my own schedule allows me to pay more attention and care towards your furry friend! I have a fenced in yard that is big enough for even large dogs to burn off tremendous energy as well as an open floor plan. This allows for the dogs to not feel cramped up and have enough space to lay and play indoors as well.

About: I have a very soft spot in my heart for animals, especially dogs. They bring a smile to my face. Not only do they need me,I need them. They bring so much joy to my life. Growing up on a farm, we always had alot of animals and dogs were one of them. So my love for animals, especially dogs continued into my adult life, that I've been blessed to be able to have and care for many over the past 36 years. I love taking them on walks, playing Fitch with them, brushing them, rubbing their bellies or ears and just snuggling with them. I'm retiring and would love to take care of your best friend. I would care for them just like they were my own children.

About: I grew up with cats and dogs. I love dogs and cats so much, and I treat them as my siblings. I can be patient, and I am willing to learn how to get better. I can start working as soon as possible. I will be around this whole summer. (Summer break from College) I won't be around after summer bc I'm going back to Iowa. :( I will do whatever you want me to, I mean, it is completely depends on the costumers requirements. I am pretty flexible, so, thank you so much .
