“Samantha is amazing! I felt instantly comfortable leaving Ethel in her capable and experienced hands! I had peace of mind all day knowing my pup was getting the best care and fun time socializing with other dogs. In addition, I love how Samantha keeps the group small enough and not overwhelming in order to build confidence in my pooch. The variety of mental and physical stimulation that occurs throughout the day is also a welcome bonus. Ethel is a new addition to our family and still a puppy and I know Samantha will assist us in making her a well-rounded happy dog as she matures. We can’t wait to come back!”
2. Scott S.
“We feel so fortunate to have found Scott! Our golden retriever has the absolute best time at his house; she comes home tired and happy. And he sends the best pictures showing us what she’s up to throughout the day … I wish my kids’ daycare was this thorough!”
3. Sherilynn G.
“We were so lucky to find Sherilynn to care for my Bailey! I am a nightshift nurse and she kept Bailey overnight 12-13 hours. Bailey looked forward to her stay and playing with Sherilynn’s dogs in the big fenced in yard:) Great communication and would send pictures that would help me get through being away from her. She treats your dog like her own!”

7. Jennifer K.
“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.”

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!

“Maggie and Betty had a lot of fun playing in the yard, and I loved getting pictures from McKenzie during their stay. Thanks for taking care of my treasured pups!”
12. Daisee & Cole W.
About: My husband and I love all dogs and look forward to having more in our home. We’ve both grown up with dogs our whole lives - all different types of breeds, shapes and sizes! I also previously trained service dogs and am prepared for all different types of dog personalities. I currently stay at home and can give your dog lots of love and attention. My husband also works from home and is flexible to help! Caring for pets fits easily into both of our schedules. I have a friendly, playful golden retriever who can’t wait to make new friends in his fenced in yard. As long as your dog is potty trained and not destructive, they don’t need to be kenneled in our house - but it’s also totally fine if you prefer to bring one.

16. Shelly E.
“Shelly is the absolute best! She has been helping me with my 3 year old lab since May. She walks him a couple times a week and picks him up from daycare as well! He’s made frequent trips to pick up her kids from school and a few trips to Starbucks for a pup cup. She not only takes care of Gus, she also brings in package from my door step and leaves the house how it was when I left that morning. She makes sure to leave the tv and a light on for him when she drops him off from daycare and also makes sure he has plenty of water. Gus adores her and her daughter! HIGHLY, HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend!”

18. Alison J.
“Alison did the most incredible job caring for my dog while I lived in Des Moines. She is extremely reliable, communicative, trustworthy, and treated him like her own pet. My dog was so happy to see Alison every time I dropped him off, which really put my mind at ease when I went out of town. I was confident that in her care, he received tons of attention, love, exercise, and was always safe. I can't more highly recommend Alison to care for your dog. I wish I could teleport her to where I live now! She's the absolute best.”
