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.

Sara was great! Very responsive and saved us on a last minute request. This was our first booking for our new (4 month old) puppy and so we were thankful she took a puppy and it seemed to go very well. Sara shared photos/videos and was responsive to any messages sent to our time away. Appreciate her communication and flexility - will definitely use Sara again!

Tashia took great care of our 14yr old dog while we were away. She needs a bit more attention and has a routine for eating, pills and going outside. We set up a meet and greet and Tashia took extreme care in meeting and getting to know our dog’s habits. Tashia sent pictures and updates while we were away to ease our concerns. Highly recommend Tashia.

My dog, Coal felt at home from the minute he got to Ebonee’s home. This transition made it easy for me to leave him while I went on vacation. I would highly recommend Ebonee! ?

Kayla provided lots of pictures/updates while our dog, Gator, stayed the night at her house, which was really appreciated! Her communication was great, and she was so understanding and helpful. She took great care of Gator and we would definitely rebook with her in the future!

Cathy was so kind! She took wonderful care of our dog and spent a lot of time playing outside with him. He came home happily exhausted. She also sent updates and pictures, and we never worried about him at all while we were gone.

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!

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!

We absolutely loved having our Weimaraner, Hollis stay with Jacquelyn and her family! We felt so comfortable leaving her and Hollis enjoyed her time with them as well! There was never a doubt that she was safe and in excellent hands with them. We will definitely be rebooking with Jacquelyn every time we need to leave our Hollis.

Odin, our Great Dane loved his stay this past week! I was out of the country on a vacation, and Alysha made sure to provide pictures and feedback to me the entire time regardless of my bad connection. I also had to change the schedule of Odin’s stay because my flight was changed (you know how travel is lol) but she was super flexible!! Definitely will be booking again & recommending her to others!
