Duncan had so much fun during his stay at Justin's, judging by the looks of the pictures that were sent and the fact he slept all day after he came home. Communication was great and was very responsive. Will book again!

Ashley and Oziel did an amazing job watching my dog Maddox. It was my first time issuing rover and they made me super comfortable with it. They sent lots of updates and Maddox had a great time. Definitely will use them again!

Oscar always has a blast with Casandra. It’s wonderful knowing that when we go on vacation Oscar gets to have a vacation as well. He is always very excited to meet new friends and get pampered.

Scott was fantastic! Easy drop off/pick up. We got sent photos of our dog each day along with updates, which we greatly appreciated. They have a big backyard, lots of running & playing fetch. We will definitely be going back. Great experience!

We love taking our dog to Jessica for dog sitting. Our dog loves playing with her dog. She sends me videos of the dogs playing, which eases the anxiety of being away from her.

Where do I start, Jennifer is one of the most thoughtful, aware, compassionate, intuitive, patient and respectful human beings that I've ever met. Her love for animals is above and beyond. Jennifer has a special gift of tapping into each animal's individual characteristics/ personalities. She treats every animal as if it were her own and gives 110% when it comes to making sure they feel safe, loved, and fulfilled. I would highly recommend Jennifer to watch anyone's fur babies.

We came to Iowa for a wedding. Cory took good care of our 2 senior dogs (labs). One has separation anxiety that he was able to comfort and the other took a nap on his bed. He walked and fed them.

They took extra special care of Pause and made sure he felt at home. They even sent him home with an extra doggie bag of treats!! He is tired out from all the fun and will be staying over again in the future!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 12. Friends and family have relied on me for pet sitting whenever they are out of town. I currently work full-time Hybrid. I work from home Mondays and Fridays. During this time I can provide care specific to your pet and their needs. I can provide potty breaks every 0-2 hours at least. I have a giant fully fenced back yard and 2 friendly dogs. One dog prefers more to watch the other dogs play while the other dog loves to be in all the action!

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.

Jasmine was excellent with watching two of my dogs, Toby and Leia! She already had a full house of her own but she made sure my pups were comfortable and happy while my partner and I were away. Highly recommend!

Liam took excellent care of our energetic mini-labradoodle! They are a dog friendly home and truly welcomed her right in! She got a lot of snuggles, attention, and walks. I was SO grateful having Liam watching her over a weekend while I was out of town. He kept me updated on her activities and sent darling pictures of her, I had such peace of mind knowing she was being so well cared for. I highly recommend Liam and will certainly be booking him again! Thank you, Liam! 🐶
