Jenevieve was more than we ever expected. She and her family treated our Suzi like one of their own. Sending pics a couple times a day made us feel so good to know we made the right decision. Suzi has found her home away from home! ❤️

Our dog Penny recently stayed with Stephanie and TJ while we were away and we are so happy with the care she received. They have a lovely, pet-friendly home with a large fenced-in backyard and 2 sweet, happy pups of their own who were very welcoming to Penny. Penny was walked often and got the attention she deserves. I received daily messages and pictures that showed she was having a good time. We highly recommend Stephanie and TJ for any overnight or daycare needs. We enjoyed our vacation so much more knowing that Penny was safe and happy. Thank you, Stephanie and TJ!

Kim was very loving of our Ruby! She sent us pictures and let us know how things were going while we were away. Ruby had a great vacation playing on Kim’s farm and being loved on by her family. We very much appreciated that we didn’t need to worry about Ruby while we were gone! Will use Kim again and again, every time.

Briana has been AMAZING with our little Hades! She goes above and beyond to make his experience fun, interactive, and even educational. This was our very first Rover experience, and as a bit of a helicopter dog-mom, I LOVED getting consistent updates and photos! We will definitely continue to trust Briana with our little man in the future!

Paula was incredible! Oscar loved spending time with her and her husband. From the daily updates she provided, it was clear they made him very comfortable and he settled right in quickly. She took the time to understand his feeding schedule and process which helped for when we returned. Provided lots of snacks and cuddles to make him feel at home. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy dog sitter.

My two pups had a great time at Lyndsey’s! Perfect place to use up their endless energy playing with her dogs and cats. Lyndsey was very easy to work with and clearly has a lot of patience with animals! Would definitely bring them back if she would have them :D

Beautiful, Spacious, Clean home for my baby kitty to play around in. Responded very quickly to a somewhat last minute booking. Super nice and super sweet to baby Shadow. Offered everything to make him a little more comfortable. I did ask for pictures during the stay and she did not disappoint with making sure I know how he’s doing.

Serius absolutely loved his first time going to a doggy babysitter. He was a stressed out neurotic mess for 2 weeks before we found Cassandra. He came home so much calmer, and happy. This will become a regular part of his routine now, so he can get out of the house, and socialize a little more.

Kyra was fantastic with Sage. She sent photos to keep us updated on how she was adjusting. Sage ate well which has been a problem for her at times while she is away. We hope to use Kyra again for our snuggle bug.

Maricela was awesome with easing in Sami into her home, giving her space to get used to the new environment. She sent pictures daily and was always incredibly responsive in both the inquiry and once booked. She accommodated our requests and was incredibly friendly. Definitely recommend Maricela if you are looking for someone that will treat your pet as their own!

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!

Milli had a great weekend with Erin & Chris! They spoiled her while she was there! She also was very relaxed even after she returned home! I would definitely recommend them and appreciate that they limit the number of dogs at one time! Thanks Erin & Chris!
