Cynthia took great care of our dog, Maizy! She went above and beyond to make sure was Maizy was comfortable and engaged. Maizy can be a picky eater and Cynthia even got her to eat a full meal. She was lovey to communicate with, was very responsive, and sent lots of pictures. We will definitely be dropping our pup off with her again!

We were so lucky to find Beth! With just a few days notice, Beth was available to watch our senior pup while we toured Iowa State with my son. It was so nice to bring our dog along and also not worry about him while we took our tour. Cody was treated to two long walks and is sleeping soundly on our trip back home. Thank you so much, Beth!

My dog had a great first daycare experience with Mackenzie and Anthony. He’s had issues with anxiety with sitters in the past, and did very well with them and their 2 dogs. I highly recommend.

Ali is always prompt and attentive, she gives my pets the love and attention they deserve. She is clearly experienced with animals, and passionate to boot. She sends me cute photos of both my cats, and confirms that they have been played with and fed as scheduled. I love having her petsit!

This was just about as easy as it gets. Dropped Kayce off with a good conversation before I left. Picked him up with another good conversation about how he did and headed home. Normally when I pick him up from doggy daycare he just goes to sleep. He seemed relaxed and not completely worn out. It was great!

Samantha is amazing! So are her pets! We booked last minute and she was so willing to work with us! She is very responsive, will get back to you quickly. She sends lots of videos and pictures throughout your pets day! Your pet will get plenty of exercise if you book with Samantha! We have already booked another week with her! My ONLY negative with her would be Ollie is definitely going to miss his friends! ☺️

Ashlynn is very responsible and kind to humans and animals alike! Over the years, all of my dogs have loved her. She will show up on time, follow directions and treat your animals with TLC. She will walk, play, feed and cuddle your dog as if it were her own. Ashlynn is kind, trustworthy, full of energy and one of the sweetest people I know. She would make the perfect dog sitter!

About: I love dogs! I have cared for dogs my whole life. First with family dogs while growing up and now with our own. We currently have a golden retriever and know especially how important activity and fun are! I work from home and can be with your dog all day! Occasionally I may need to run out for an errand in which case I may crate your dog (depending on behavioral needs) but otherwise I am normally home. We love guest dogs as our own! We have a very large fenced in yard that I let our dog, Penny, run around in (monitored, my office window looks into the back yard) for short periods of time to play and do her business. While inside, your dog will have access to the whole house. At night, your dog can sleep in our bedroom or if you prefer to crate your dog at night, we can do that as well.
