“Abigail is very talented and very knowledgeable person. My Shepherd Harper loves spending time with her and Abigail loves her time with Harper. I would highly recommend Abigail to anyone to have her help train and take excellent care of your pets”

“Haley is kind and simply amazing with everyone and their pets! She is always willing to do more! She loves animals and she’s extremely responsible! She’s the best for this job!”

“Breanna is absolutely amazing! She takes such great care of my dog, always making sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and love. She’s reliable, punctual, and clearly has a genuine passion for animals. My pup is always so excited to see her, which speaks volumes! I also appreciate the updates and photos she shares during walks—it gives me peace of mind knowing my dog is in such good hands. If you’re looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker, Breanna is the best choice. Highly recommend!”

“Hailey has been caring for our pets for several years and I put my full faith and trust in her. When we are away we've had as many as four pets requiring care which includes a dog and three cats. We've had her stay at the house overnight as well as working out a care schedule where she arrives several times throughout the day and night. Either way she is dependable, responsible and accountable. Hailey is the first person I go to for assistance with my pets when I need to be away.”

“She has always been a person who loves all animals as her own. She is someone that I have never had to worry about when watching my dog. You would be so lucky to have her watch/help with your animals.”

“Super kind, friendly and punctual.”

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of pets my entire life. I have experience dog-sitting, cat-sitting, dog walking and even some grooming. My passionate love for animals doesn’t vary between small, large, young, or old - I love them all! I have plenty of weekend availability, but I am a student during the week, so my flexibility has been a little restricted. This summer I will have 8-10 hr days twice a week (including commute). Please reach out to see if my exact schedule will work for you! My goal is to make your furry friend feel as comfortable as possible with me. I take caution when getting to know a new animal, making sure to give them the time and space they need in order to get to know me.

“Samantha is great! She’s communicative, flexible, and always right on time. Mostly importantly my dog absolutely loves her. Highly recommend.”

“Emma is great with pets! She is patient and calm. She has the energy to keep your pets entertained. She loves to walk our border collie. Short or long walks she responds to the energy of the pet. I trust her to walk, feed, play and clean up after any pet. In addition to dogs, she has experience with birds and hamsters.”

“Heather and her crew bring a dependable exciting, socializing aspect to her service is top notch! She asked and offered first and, it was a bonus i had not factored in. She gives my dogs tons of attention and pack like walks. Even going further than expected on the beautiful days. I can not say enough great things about her. And, her kids helping is an aspect i did not expect. She has asked if she can include her dog on the walks sometimes. I told her absolutely! The more socializing with anyone, anywhere has been really great! And, above and beyond expectation. I highly recommend her for anyone with puppies, empty nesters like me, and or, dogs that have lost their fur sibling. Exceptional! Worth every penny and then some!”

“For as long as I can remember Katie has LOVED animals! My family loves to travel and we have had Katie come stay at our home many times to take care of our dogs and cats. I know she provides them daily walks and lots of snuggle time. One of our dogs has medical issues and needs medicine several times a day plus eyedrops and I can always count on Katie to make sure that she is taken care of properly. I highly recommend her and she is very trustworthy!”

“Colton is awesome! This was his first walk with one of our pups and our pup adores him. Colton is super friendly, down to earth, and communicative. We couldn't have found someone better suited for us!”

About: I am an avid pet lover. I’ve been around dogs all my life (minus a short time when I lived in an apartment and couldn’t have a dog, so we decided to adopt 2 cats!). I am a pretty active gal, and am able to take dogs for walks (and even run if they want to). I'm open to drop in visits, housesitting, walks, etc. I am unable to provide boarding at my house, as our Chloe is selective about her friends. We are working with her on being more tolerant of others. If boarding is your preference, I would be open to a Chloe meet-and-greet to make sure your dog and Chloe are comfortable with each other. I work locally around Columbia, so I am able to do some petsitting during the week. I have more availability on the weekends. If my schedule allows, I can drop in on lunch to check on your pets. Your rules are my rules. As long as the dog/cat/etc. is happy, I am happy. My dogs are allowed on furniture and have the run of the house. Of course, they are not chewers and (typically) do not destroy things.

About: I have been around all types of pets for most of my life! I do have quite a bit of experience house training puppies and adult dogs Basic commands. I also have experience taking care of our pets when they get old and gray and need the extra little bit of help around the house. My availability is just about as open as it gets, my current job is only 4 to 8 days per month so 90% of the time I’m a stay at home dad! Willing to be as active or lazy as your pet wants! Though I do not have a fenced or large yard, the back of the property is right up against the practice ball field in Waterloo, so we will have plenty of space to run around and play in a safe environment.

“Annie is so great at caring for furry friends! She loves them like she loves her own dog and considers animals to be an extension of her own family. She, along with her husband and children, are very active in the outdoors and will gladly take your dogs on walks and runs. Your dogs will definitely not be bored and will be showered on with love, attention, and treats. What more could a dog want? :)”

“Tammy is amazing and loves animals. When we go out of town, she takes care of our dog, Gracie. I know she is taken care of because Gracie is so excited to see Tammy when we drop her off, plus Tammy sends us pictures and videos of her, which we love.”

“Her love of dogs and her understanding of them sets her apart from others. Volunteering at an animal shelter gave her the gift of loving and taking care of these precious pets.”

About: I have had pets in the house my whole life. My grandpa had a farm so I have been around animals since I was little. We have even had several pet pigs that were litter box trained. When I was younger, I would sneak stray cats into the house so they would have a place to stay and I always made sure to feed any stray animals that were too scared to come to anyone. I am that person that always stops if I see an animal wondering around outside, even in areas where I probably shouldn't even stop at stop signs. I have two boys, 7 and 19 months old that share my love for animals. We would be thrilled to spoil and love on your pets if you are planning a trip out of town or just need someone to stop by so your fur babies can have some play time and a bathroom break. I work full time close to Lambert Airport so I have limited availability during the week. On the weekends I am typically home amd welcome any dogs to stay with us as long as they are up to date on vaccines and currently taking flea and tick treatments. Our pups are just like family members. They have free roam throughout the house and are allowed on furniture. We have several dog beds, plenty of toys, and a fenced in backyard.

“Her love for animals shines through! Her knowledge of pet care and pet health comes from her years of fostering pets. A true pet lover!”
