I have booked with Jessica a few times now and recommend her to anyone looking for top notch care for their pet. This most recent time I did not realize that my pup had a broken nail before dropping her off and Jessica saw it right away, took her to the vet, and went above and beyond to care for her during her week long stay. Also, my flight back to Des Moines was extremely delayed and Jessica was super accommodating and understanding. Jessica is incredibly responsive and I trust her completely with my dog Iommi. Whether you need a daycare stay or extended stay, Jessica is the person to book with. Thank you so much again Jessica!

Erin and Chris did an excellent job with our energetic little guy! They provided him with exceptional care and love. They went above and beyond to send us pictures through this stay, also! We would highly recommend them!

Justin was great watching our dog Chase for a week! He added all the supplements into our dogs food daily, gave him 1:1 time, let him play everywhere (in his home and the backyard,) and sent us daily update photos and videos of Chase! When we first met Justin he asked appropriate questions about Chase and was very welcoming to us and Chase. We are extremely happy to have someone we completely trust to take care of Chase in the future!

As always Briana and her family provided exceptional care for our Kahlo. We had a medical procedure that was scheduled on short-notice and Briana made us feel at ease knowing Kahlo was well cared for.

Elizabeth was very responsive and asked questions to ensure it was a good fit ahead of time. During our dog’s stay she provided several daily updates with pictures and videos. She had him out playing with new dog friends in the fenced yard, and he came home a tired boy. Highly recommend! We will definitely book her again.

Casandra is the best with our babies. Always sending photos and videos. Both of our dogs are worn out when they come home from all the playing and excitement. Highly recommend her.

I’m extremely pleased with the care provided by Megan when she took care of my 2 dogs for 6 days/5 nights while I was out of state on vacation. I had never left them that long with anyone before, and one of mine (Callie) is very attached to me and has some separation anxiety. But my fears were put to rest by Megan’s kind and reassuring manner when we first met and even more so when she sent me updates and several pictures every day to let me know how my pups were doing. She let me know my 2 pups were getting along well with her 2 little dogs, and the pictures reinforced they were making themselves at home. I really appreciated that she has a large fenced in yard for the dogs since mine are used to that. I will definitely use Megan again and am so relieved to know I can leave my dogs with her and they will be well cared for. She is awesome! I highly recommend her.

When our new puppy fell into our lap, we were SO EXCITED! She fit right in to our family!! However, within 2 weeks of having her, we had a previously scheduled road trip that didn’t allow for a puppy to tag along. In came Scott to our life! I had never used Rover before, but after meeting Scott, we knew Trooper would be in good hands. We received daily updates, photos, and videos while we were gone…easing our minds that our sweet girl was doing well. She had so much fun run and playing, meeting other dog friends, and forming a special bond with Scott’s own dog. We would highly recommend their services and will definitely use Scott in the future!

Cory took great care of our dog while we were away. Our dog can have periods of anxiety and does not do well with other animals, he was able to handle her behaviors without a problem. He sent us regular updates and kept her active all weekend. She was happy and worn out when we picked her up. We would definitely recommend and plan to use him again for future trips!

This was my first time looking for a sitter and I am a first time pet owner so you can imagine the worries of making sure you found a good sitter! Sue was the first and only sitter i got in touch with! She is extremely friendly, and a great communicator, I even did a pre-trip visit with my cat bento to where he would be staying with her! After leaving bento with Sue for over a week, it is safe to say that Sue is the best at what she does, I would never look for another sitter again!

My dogs were happy and exhausted when I picked them up from a two-night weekend stay at Lucia's. Lucia sent me a photo each day to let me know my two fur babies were doing well and I had no worries at all while I, too, enjoyed my weekend. Would recommend Lucia. Definitely worth the drive.

You can just tell right away Dana is good with dogs. I immediately felt comfortable leaving Walter with her. She kept me updated and sent pictures. Walter's a shy fella but i think he warmed up to her pretty easily! Also has a good sized back yard for the dogs to play. We will be seeing her again!
