“Allison checked in on our kitty while we were away. She did exactly what we needed and then some. I appreciate her bringing in packages without being asked and took extra care to clean up after our kitty. We will definitely be contacting Allison again for any future pet needs.”
About: Hi! My name is Sophia. I am a nurse with a passion for working with children that extends to loving on strangers' pets! Whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior needing patience and routine, I’ve cared for them and treat every pet like they’re my own. My uncle has two American bullies, and my aunt has a senior dog that I offer to take care of from time to time while they are away. Those three angels are the reason why I decided to get my own dog! I have a deep love for animals and a calm, confident approach to pet care that helps pets feel safe, happy, and stress-free. I work three times a week on a self-scheduled basis. I will make sure to update my availability as soon as my schedule is out. When I have my free time I would love to give some TLC to your fur babies and make sure they are content and happy! I will care for your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I’d give my own three fur babies. Your pet’s safety and happiness come first. I will follow your routines closely to make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I will make sure to provide you with regular updates and tons of cute photos while you are away. My goal is peace of mind for both of you!
“Mikayla did an amazing job cat sitting for me :) she willingly and eagerly listens to every nitpicky detail and understands what it means to take care of someone else’s family. When I returned my cats were happy, healthy, and my home was left the way she found it. Will gladly try to have her back.”
About: I’ve pet sit for family/friends and I work at a kennel. I also own my own pets as well. I’m going to school to be a veterinarian technician. My work schedule changes a lot but I’m more than happy to work pet care in for you and your pet to make you happy! I treat the pets like they are my own and making sure they are getting enough attention and have the necessities they need through out the day.
About: I'm a current dog foster through a local shelter, and I've been around dogs and cats for most of my life! I'm comfortable with most ages and sizes, and have picked up a lot of skills and knowledge on how to work well with dogs. I'm just as comfortable with cats, and I have some good experience cat sitting for relatives. I have a very flexible schedule as a graduate student, so I have a lot of availability to fit taking care of pets into my day/week. I try to keep a consistent feeding schedule and make sure dogs go out as soon as I return from being away. I make sure any hazards or chemicals are far out of reach, and always keep dogs on leashes when going on walks outside of a fenced in area. I make sure to monitor toys that can break into small pieces (nylabones, benebones, etc.). I am comfortable crating dogs if there has been previous crate training.
“Jess was such a great choice to watch my Sammy boy. We were gone from 5/22-6/1 and had no idea it was getting VERY warm here in Iowa. We did not yet have our window air conditioners in. At one point, it got to 85 in our house. I was able to have a neighbor install the window ac’s. Jess was concerned for Sam and offered to stop by to check on him (on a day that wasn’t originally on the calendar). I truly appreciate her doing that! We were in Florida and that helped eased my mind!! We’re already set up to have her take care of him later this summer. Thanks again Jess!”
About: Hello and thank you for taking the time to learn about me! I have had a number of jobs in the past however most of them contained some element of caring for others (human AND friends with fur or fins!) Due to the pandemic I have found a couple of fun ways to earn some $. I enjoy being a driver for Uber and Lyft. And I have fun caring for a few of my neighbors' pets. I am looking to increase my income by expanding my pet care services. Things that set me apart from other pet sitters: * My schedule is wide open / VERY flexible! * I have a reliable vehicle. * I am a mature, caring, and dependable adult who enjoys all types of pets! I hope to hear from you!
About: I started off my experience with pet sitting 10 years ago with 2 Bichon dogs. They required a lot of care and I loved every minute I spent with them. I had a dog growing up and she was my pride and joy. When pet sitting, I make sure that I give the pets attention and love that I would like to give my own pet. When pet sitting, I typically have the dog come to me or I can do drop in visits to your home. I can also spend the day going on walks and relaxing with your dog. I do not have a dog of my own, but I do have a lot of experience interacting and caring for all kinds of dogs. I am a teacher, so I have the summer off to be able to take care of your dog during morning and afternoon. I can also take them on long walks. I plan to make sure that your dog gets what they need. For example, make sure that they have food and water. Also, provide them time to be outside and to be active if needed.
About: I’ve had cats my whole life and have always enjoyed caring for them. My cats have some medical needs so I’m open to discussing anything like that. I have also been around dogs my whole life, including watching neighbors and family member’s pups. I typically work irregular hours but will update my availability when I know!! I have weekends off and after 4:30 for sure every week day I have a fenced in yard with lots of room to roam and shade to cool off. If I’m coming to your home depending on it you have a cat or dog, I love to play and give animals lots of pets. But I will also follow the given instructions with food, water, and litter box if necessary.
“Katie did a great job with our cat. He had always been boarded when we were out of town and I was a bit nervious leaving him at home. What a great result. He was happy, healthy, and relaxed. When boarded it takes a couple of days for him to get back to his normal personality. I plan to schedule at home visits whenever we must be out of town. Thanks for your care and attention Katie.”
About: I've taken care of pets since I was a young child, but have been doing so professionally for 10 years. What sets me apart from other pet sitters is that I am a full time vet tech and have been in the veterinary field for over 10 years. So I am uniquely qualified to administer all kinds of medications, including oral, transdermal, and injectable, as well as subcutaneous fluids. I am also a certified dog trainer so I am able to train puppies (and dogs of all ages) and keep up with their current training while you're away. I currently work full time, so I have limited daytime availability. I am off on Thursdays and Sundays as well as most Saturdays, but otherwise can only provide midday drop ins if they are within a short drive from my job in Waukee. I will follow your instructions meticulously and treat your pets as I do my own. I believe it is important to keep as close to a normal routine as possible to make sure the pets are comfortable with their pet sitter while their owners are away. I provide daily text check ins with pet parents as well as pictures of your beloved pet.

Julie D.
“I think Julie would make a super care giver for people's pets. I say this because of her love of animals and their needs. She is responsible, considerate and would be sure she knew what the owners wanted in taking care of their pet. She will pay attention to details and has a heart to serve. If she had question or needed clarification, she wouldn't hesitate to ask. She is dependable and a communicator. If she noticed something that might be wrong or different in the behavior of a pet in her care, she would be sure to take notice, details and report it to the owner. I have not doubt she would be a great asset to your operation.”
Molly G.
