House Sitting Wolf

About: I live in ogden iowa but can travel to the des moines area to pick up pets! This is what I do for a living, so I will always be home with your pets! I live on an acreage with a large fenced in back yard. I was born and raised a farm girl! Have 25+ years of experience with all types of animals including livestock, dogs, cats and small animals!!! Animal lover to all big and little! Im an energetic person who will give your pet all the loving and play time they need!! I do not take pets who are not house broke or unnutured male dogs. I'm a full-time college student getting my degree online in psychology. I'm home all the time and love to cuddle with fur babies. I'm a home body so don't travel or go places very often. I have a fenced in yard. I give dogs lots of walks and play time. I also have a very large finished basement that is wide open for playing in when the weather is bad.

“Courtney was amazing with our dogs while we were out of town for the weekend and she was so highly communicative and prompt with everything we asked. We will most certainly continue to use Courtney for any future needs with our dogs!”

“I rarely leave my pets with non-family members, and it was such a relief finding Devin and Kelsey to stay with them for an extended stay. They were more than willing to come over for multiple drop-in visits prior to my trip to spend time with me personally, learn the pets’ routines, and let my dog and cat get to know and enjoy them. They’re kind, responsible people with a definite way with animals and commitment to their care. We communicated daily and the pictures of obviously happy pets were very much appreciated. I fully anticipate having them back for future visits! Thanks so much you two!!”

“As first time Rover clients, we couldn't be happier with the service and Jenna in particular! She was kind and compassionate and helped our old boy feel safe and comfortable.”

“Tiffany did a great job taking care of our pets and small hobby farm. She communicated regularly before, during, and after our trip. Tiffany was also flexible when unexpected things came up. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Grace was amazing. I know she kept incredible care of my pets because my little doggo was looking for her the morning after she left. She sent tons of pictures and was very communicative.”

About: I have taken care of my dog since he was a puppy and my brothers do for about 4 years. I also work at a doggy day care and am around all sorts of dogs and understand body language. I work mostly on the weekends. I am most available to spend the most time with your pet during the week. I have school but no more than 4 hours a day. I provide attentive and reliable pet care either in my home or in the client’s home, depending on their preference. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any specific care instructions. I make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and well-cared for by giving them plenty of attention and maintaining a clean environment. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space, keep everything tidy, and ensure the pet experiences minimal disruption to their normal routine. I am also comfortable administering medications if needed and monitoring pets for any changes in behavior or health. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience for both the pet and the owner.

About: I am a veterinary student at ISU with experience pet sitting, caring for shelter animals, and clinical care. I am comfortable caring for pets with special diets and administration of oral medicine. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs, and I have flexibility in caring for pets of varying activity levels. I can't wait to meet your fur baby! I have school on weekdays, but I'm available for walks during the lunch hours from 11am - 1pm. I'm also available after 5pm Monday - Friday and have full availability on weekends. Your pet's comfort is my number one concern so I have no problem coming to you or taking your pet to their favorite park. I'm comfortable walking larger dogs that pull the leash and explore or older dogs with limited mobility. My dog has a vestibular issue, so I'm experienced lifting pets to help them up and down stairs and getting into cars. I'm also experienced giving oral medication, clipping/shaving nails, and bathing.

“Nicole stayed at our home with our small dog for the weekend. She communicated well and left everything in great shape. I'd be happy to have her watch our pup again.”

About: Hello! My name is Nina and I am 24 years old. I love both cats and dogs as I have had many of my own growing up and now! I am available pretty much anytime to care for your furry friends! Feel free to reach out! I stay home with baby and need to get out of the house. This is a great way for me to make money and get out more! I make sure to let the dogs have as much potty time and free time as possible! With me around of course. It’s hard being alone I’m sure!

About: I grew up taking care of dogs on our family farm. I was responsible for feeding, watering, cleaning, and spending time with them each day. I also grew up with a cat in the home. I love animals and enjoy taking dogs on walks. Besides my school schedule, I am very free. I have my own car and I live on campus. I am available in morning and evening and in between classes. I can fulfill any need that you may have for caring for your animal in your home. I live in a dorm on campus, which is not animal friendly:)

About: I am a student at Iowa State University, eager to get some good puppy love. After moving from northern Illinois, I miss my family dogs dearly and want to help others with their dogs and give them the attention they deserve. Growing up, I had many dogs and cats, ranging from small to very large dogs. I am also experienced handling less friendly dogs, and am good at making connections with them. I’m currently working part time as a customer services representative at Iowa State’s Recreation Services and do research remotely in a lab at the university. I tend to be able to do early mornings or afternoons! My apartment is safe, secured by multiple locked doors and is regularly cleaned and uncluttered. At a clients house, I am sure to respect your pet’s way of life and the house rules as well.

“Jenna did awesome with our two mastiffs! She was very communicative and sent pictures while we were on vacation, which made me miss them less. Highly recommend!”

“Jennifer took great care of our pup, Rocky! She spent quality time with him, made sure to only take him on walks in safe temperatures, and he was happy and tired when we got home!”

About: I've grown up with pets my whole life - dogs, cats, cows, horses, hamsters, mice, you name it I probably had it at one point. I have a dog of my own as well. I like to say I've had animal experience my whole life, but formally I have had over 8 years of experience in the animal care industry. I have spent time in veterinary clinics, grooming, boarding, doggy daycare, dog training, permanent sanctuaries, rehabilitation facilities, and farms. I have also fostered multiple dogs from local rescues. I recently earned a bachelors degree in animal science and currently attend veterinary school at ISU. I really really love animals and everything about them, and I would love to spend some time with your pet when you're not able to! Pet care is built into my schedule and comes as second nature to me now after being immersed in it for so long. On average, a minimum of 3-5 hours of my day are dedicated to my animals. I enjoy taking my dog on multiple walks a day, of varying lengths, to ensure he has enough mental stimulation and exercise to meet his needs. Training is also a constant in my household, whether that be scheduled training sessions, or simply consistent work throughout daily tasks. I find it important to build a bond with my animals as well as those I meet, and training helps strengthen that bond. Outdoor activities (walks, meeting friends dogs, swimming, fetch, etc.) and training exercises are my primary methods of exercise and activity with my pet, and would be with clients pets as well. On days it's not so nice I like to work on training inside or find new enrichment activities to keep my pet occupied and stimulated. I take pride in keeping my environment and my animals’ clean, so I regularly bathe and brush my dog, as well as clean food and water bowls. I will care for my clients pets as I would care for my own.

About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of different ages, personalities, and energy levels. I’m patient, attentive, and believe in positive reinforcement and respecting each pet’s individual needs and boundaries. I’m also comfortable administering medications and adapting my care for pets with special needs or specific routines. My goal is to provide loving, dependable care that helps every pet feel safe, comfortable, and at home.🐾 I currently work from home, so I’m able to spend plenty of time with your pet throughout the day. I’m available for boarding during both weekdays and weekends, and I can provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, attention, and lots of company. Your baby won’t be left alone for long periods and can easily become part of my daily routine. I share my home with Sky, my friendly dog, and Gigi, my cat, so I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. I have a cedar garden where dogs can safely enjoy some fresh air using a secure tether while supervised, and I live close to beautiful nature trails that are perfect for daily walks and exploring. I also have a separate, quiet space for pets who need a break, feel anxious, or simply prefer some alone time. I always respect each pet’s personality and boundaries and use patience and positive reinforcement to help them feel safe, relaxed, and at home.

“Sam took care of our home and four dogs for a week and a half and did such a great job! She was great at communicating and sending photos, and you can tell she loved on the pups hard while we were gone! We will absolutely book her again!”

About: I have been pet sitting since I was about 12 years old! I have pet sitted dogs, and cats! Each pet deserves as much attention and comfortablity when their owners/parents are away. I am very organized, dilegent, and cautious when it comes to pet sitting. I strive to give a great experience for both the pet and the parent so do not hesitate to reach out! If you have any questions please feel free to reach out and I will respond as soon as possible! :) I am currently in college, studying for my associates in Liberal Arts: Math and Science! I primarily take online classes, and will update my schedule if I am unavailble due to an in person class! This summer 2026, I will be unavaible due to class Mondays and Wednesday from 10:10-12:10pm. I am unable to have any pets stay with me due to my three cats. Unless they are reptillian, then they are welcome to stay in my home in a seperate and secure bedroom away from my cats! For taking care of pets in your home, you should expect them to be fed at their normal times, played with, and being taken care of using the expectations of the owner!
