About: Dogs have always been in my life. I volunteered at Animal Lifeline for 8 years and had a dog daycare of my own for a while. Dogs are everything and I’d be honored to love on yours. I currently work full time but my day ends at 3 pm so I can be that late afternoon or evening potty break or walk. Weekends are definitely doable as well with pre-arranged time and notice. Should your dog(s) stay with me during the day, I have a fenced yard and no carpet in case of oopsies! If you request that I come to your house I am very reliable, responsible and respectful. I can guarantee a boat load of scritches and belly rubs as well as time for “business”.
About: I have had pets my entire adult life, and I know how important it is to you to find the right person to take care of them while you’re away. I am committed to taking care of your pets like they’re my own, and I’m excited to provide lots of love and fun! I work from home, and my husband is a full time dad, so we’d be happy to spend time with your pets, go for walks as a family, and see to their every need! We have pet gates throughout the home, extra kennels if needed, and a fenced in yard. We are also comfortable giving medication orally or via injection if needed.
About: Growing up on a family farm, I have had the opportunity to care for many different kinds of animals (dogs, horses, cats, chickens, goats, pigs and cows). I have taken care of family and friends dogs for the last 20 years. I have raised 5 puppies and have shown a few of them in local shows. My kids are 10 and 7 and love taking our dogs for walks, hikes and playing with them in our very large back yard. I am home all summer and my school year schedule varies so I have plenty of time to take your pup on walks and play with them. I have a large fenced back yard and 2 pups friendly pups. I have the ability to take your dog to either a paved or dirt trail for walks or runs. My dogs walk 4 to 5 miles a day but I can definitely make the walk shorter if needed. I have the ability to separate the dogs if needed. I can also crate the dogs. Our dogs love to lounge on our couches.
About: I have had a dog most of my life until recently. I grew up with a wonderful Bichon named Brody. Brody was my best friend growing up and lived to about 18 years old! My husband and I got together in 2008 and a year later we both decided we wanted to get our first dog together. His name was Tank. To keep Tank young we got him a friend in 2012, Miles. Tank and Miles were our fur babies as we didnt have children at the time. Both of our guys had their share of illnesses. Tank required allergy injections for a few years. Tank eventually was diagnosed with prostate cancer which we did chemo for 2 years with him. Miles also started to have his own health issues. He was diagnosed with Cushings early on, diagnosed with diabetes which we then were administering insulin twice a day for, and then we discovered he had a tumor in his chest. We loved and cared for these guys through it all. Doing EVERYTHING we could for both of them. Visits to ISU, Blue Pearl, multiple local clinics. We gave them the best life we could. I think just saying that I love animals isnt enough. They are family to me and mean so much more. I care for all animals as they are my own. My husband and I provided intense care for our guys until it was time to say goodbye for now. I miss our guys. I would love to help care for others fur babies as I would treat them as my own, giving them the best care possible and the love they deserve. I currently work remote full time from my home and have decent flexibility in my daily work schedule to meet the needs of my clients. I have a fenced in yard. No other animals at this time. We do have a 4 year old child who is great with animals and always has been. Dog park nearby. Walking paths nearby/great neighborhood for walking outside.
“I loved all the pictures of Rex throughout the day. They really made me feel that Rex was being well cared for. I loved seeing that he was able to relax in his surroundings and hang out with friends.”
“Jill & her family are awesome!! They treated Benji as if he was their own! We are nervous dog parents sending our pooch to just anyone, Jill eased our minds with a lovely meet & greet, updates throughout the day and filled us in on how Benji was at pick up time :) Would definitely recommend Jill!”
About: I’m very attentive to details and love all fur babies. I believe in keeping animals on regular schedules for feeding and exercise. Your dog will be well loved and cared for at my house! I live on a farm with equines, so my schedule is built around their feeding and exercise, which means that I’m home most of the time. My dog (and yours) is inside the house, except when outside in the fenced area or on a leash while on a walk around our property each evening. Millie is our very active senior dog who is less than 20 pounds. She lost her older buddy a few years ago and would love a friend to hang out with. We have a very large fenced yard for them to play in, but they will be inside unless they want to play outside.

Hayley & Zach K.
“Hayley looked after my two cats while I was away, and I was very pleased with the care she provided. She was reliable, respectful of my home, and clearly experienced with cats. Both of mine can be a bit shy around new people, but they warmed up to her quickly, which says a lot. She kept everything tidy, followed feeding instructions carefully, and even took the time to play with them and send me a few updates. It was reassuring to know they were in good hands. I’d definitely recommend Hayley to anyone looking for a dependable and thoughtful cat sitter.”
