“Thank you so much! The dogs were so happy when we got home. Ashlee communicated with us the whole time and sent pics of the pups and cat. She made sure they felt comfortable and safe with her. 10/10 !!!”

“We left for a full week. I was really nervous to leave my 2 dogs and cat with a “stranger” but Allison provided us with a visit before our trip to make sure that we felt comfortable with her as well as the puppies. The day we left she show up on time as scheduled and she make me feel really good before we left assuring me that everything will be okay. Every day she send me pictures of my puppies and she gave me constant updates. My dogs absolutely love her, and even the cat that really doesn’t like anybody, warm up to her. If you are looking on someone reliable and loving to take care of your best friends I should absolutely recommend Allison.”

“Nadine watched Bodhi for me while we were out of state, she was amazing! I got daily updates and pictures and was not worried about him at all while we were gone. She took such great care of him!”

“Mackenzie and Anthony were great! We got lots of photos and videos of the pups having a blast and we returned home to three very tired and happy pups! Thanks, again!”

“I wish I could give Megan more than 5 stars! Megan was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Benji! She came to our home to watch him, & I could tell right away she genuinely cared about making him comfortable and happy. She was punctual, kind, and so easy to communicate with. While we were out, she kept us updated with messages and adorable photos, which gave us total peace of mind. Megan treated him like her own, which made us feel so at ease! When we got home, he was relaxed, happy, and clearly had a great day. It’s rare to find someone so reliable, caring, and trustworthy, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend Megan to anyone who wants their pets cared for like family!”

Brett & Jessica C.

“Kendra is great! She took great care of my young puppy while I was out of town. On time, good communication about how everything was going, fun photos and video. It was relatively last minute, and she was still able to make it work.”

“I left my dog for the first time ever and I was nervous. Nancy put me at ease sending me videos and reassuring me the dog was fine. Nancy was really good with my dog and allowed me to really enjoy my trip. She is dependable and reliable. I highly recommend her.”

“Angie is fantastic! Super friendly and reliable. We came home to happy, healthy dogs after several days away. Can’t wait to have her come watch them again!”

About: Hi there! My name is Emma. I recently returned from a year abroad in New Zealand, where I spent my final three weeks on a farm, feeding and running the farm's working dogs and caring for a 3-month-old litter of puppies. At home, I have two dogs and two cats whom I adore. Growing up in a pet-filled household has made me very familiar with the diverse needs of animals. Over the years, neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and play with their pets. I’ve cared for various sizes and breeds, including senior dogs and those with special needs, such as medication and physical assistance. I'll be in Iowa for 5 weeks before heading off to travel in Australia, so I'll be completely available to spend time with your furry friends. I’m incredibly reliable and flexible—just let me know a day in advance if you need my services. I ensure pets receive the same level of care and attention in my home or your home as they would in their own. This includes following their feeding and medication schedules, maintaining cleanliness, and providing plenty of affection and playtime. I prioritize understanding each pet’s unique needs and routines to ensure they feel comfortable and loved while in my care.

“Adrianne took wonderful care of Oliver. She kept us updated and sent pictures throughout the weekend. Oliver has a happy pup when we returned, we will definitely be booking her again!”

“Angeline was so good to our pups! She took them on walks (sent pics) and kept us updated throughout her stay. We would definitely hire her again!”

Julie S.

“Rose was a wonderful house/dog sitter while we were away! She was very responsive with our questions and sent daily pictures and videos of the pups. We could tell they were comfortable with her as they were acting like their usual goofy selves in the videos. She did an excellent job of keeping the house tidy, bringing in our mail and we especially appreciated that she brought in all our packages as we are getting married in a month and have wedding gifts delivered almost daily. We will certainly be hiring Rose again and she made us feel very comfortable being with our dogs in our house. Would highly recommend her to anyone who is in need of trustworthy, caring and reliable dog care!”

Laura K.

“I’ve used Jodie multiple times now and could not be happier. Having a senior dog with medical issues makes it difficult to find the right person and Jodie and her girls are fantastic with him as well as my cat (and guinea pigs)! I can travel and feel confident my fur babies are being well cared for!”

Melissa H.

“Lauren was great. Very receptive to what we needed, and took good care of our pets. She communicated very well through the whole process. We would absolutely hire her again.”

Sebastian S.

“Lexi has stayed with our dog twice now for week long vacations. She does a great job at communicating with updates. She also went above and beyond to treat our pup to her own special vacation treats like pup cups and walks in various different places. We will definitely book with her again!”

Cathy V.

“Talia was phenomenal with our 2 dogs and cat. They bonded very well while we were gone 10 days. Our cat usually hides but she was sleeping calmly out in the open when we returned. Talia played games and she introduced some new commands to our shepherd. Our little dog got his cuddles too. Her training skills and personality were a great match. Our home and pets were left in perfect hands. We definitely would recommend her to anyone needing a pet/home sitter.”

Jeanne S.

“Our pup had some extra needs, and Elena met those needs very willingly! Thank you for giving Bailey all the love and support while we were out of town.”

Kelsi W.

“Kennedy took great care of our dogs and our home while we were away for the weekend. We felt comfortable knowing our dogs were in good hands and would definitely book with her again in the future!”

Teagan I.

“Jake was incredible with our pets while we were gone! He was prompt, reliable, and had fantastic communication throughout our trip! He made everything at home stress-free and I never had to worry about our fur babies! We will absolutely be booking with him again for our next trip!”
