“Left our 12 yr. old springer spaniel with Mike and Sherry for 10 days and were very pleased that he seemed to be very comfortable and right at home. Enjoyed the many photos that were sent along with updates on how he was doing. Will definately call upon them in to future.”



“Jason did an incredible job caring for my 18 month old lab mix, Mehdi. He provided text and picture updates throughout the boarding and with the help of his dog Timber, kept Mehdi entertained and happy. It rained almost the entire time I was gone, so no dog park visits, but there was enough space for Mehdi and Timber to play inside. Jason constantly provided Mehdi with treats, rawhides, and peanut butter filled kongs. Mehdi has occasional seizures, and while thankfully he didn't have any while I was away, Jason made sure he was well educated about what to do should it happen, which helped ease my mind. I highly recommend Jason and his buddy, Timber for when you are out of town.”


“Darcie was AWESOME! This was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t be happier. She watch my two dogs for a week and was communicative and sent photos the whole time. She has a sweet pup of her own that was great with my dogs. The cherry on top was her home and family were both so warm. It felt like leaving my dogs with a friend.”


“Maverick had a good time!! He came home the same dog I dropped off (which is 💯 a relief) and he made friends with a tiny dog! Also very appreciative for a shorter notice booking.”


“Andrea was a great host to our KoKo. She kept us in the know with status updates as well as pictures. We contacted her last minute, but her communication and willingness to serve was evident as we came up with time lines that worked for her and us. 10/10. Andrea will get our service in the future.”


“Madison was great! I booked last minute and she worked with me on the time and everything. My pup came home and slept the WHOLE DAY because she was so tired out from the playing she got while with her! She sent pictures and communicated through the whole stay! Definitely rec booking your pup with her!”


“Everything went great as expected. Thanks for keeping us posted with all the pictures and videos. Holly was for sure in great hands and will look to schedule another visit in the future. A++”


“If we could rate more than 5 stars we would! It’s stressful leaving your pets behind while you go on a trip, but we knew they were in good care with the daily updates and photos we received. We would recommend them to anyone looking for pet care. Thanks Sydney and Michael!”


“Kathleen took great care of Poppy. She gave him tons of walks and love and even introduced him to her friends. She went above and beyond feeding Poppy healthy food that she purchased herself. Kathleen sent Poppy home clean after giving him a bath. None of this was requested. This shows the love she pours into the animals she cares for. A++.”


“Jake was fantastic with Stewie and Oscar - he made various accommodations for our cat who took some time adjusting to a new environment. Our dog, Stewie, made himself at home and had a great time hanging with Walter, Scout, and Jake. Highly recommend! Thank you so much ?”


About: I have been the go-to neighborhood dog sitter ever since I was in junior high. Now I live in Iowa City with my husband and field retriever, Oakley, and am ready to continue opening my home to your pets! I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, personalities, and energy levels. I work from home, so I am here all day for your pet. My typical routine with Oakley includes a lunch time walk and a post work hike at Hickory Hill. I’d love to bring your pup along for these adventures but can also cater to your pups individual needs/preferences and adjust as needed! We have a fenced in yard as well for the pups to run around in. I work full time from home, so I am able to attend to your dog throughout the day as needed. I typically play fetch or tug or something or the sort with my pup in the morning, take her for a walk ~1 mi walk over lunch, and for a 1-2 hour hike after work. I can adjust the level of activity as needed to match what you’re looking for! I have a fenced in yard (standard chain link so not suited for high jumpers) and an active pup for your dog to play with! I am comfortable crating your dog or leaving free roaming, whatever is your preference and your routine!

“So glad I had Lindsey to watch my little doggie! She was quick to respond to my request, and took the time to get to know my Molly and her routine. Even with my senior dog’s needs, Lindsey was excited to watch her. When I picked her up, they had been cuddling and cozy on the couch, so sweet! My picky Molly was so at ease, I was amazed! Can’t wait to use Lindsey as my sitter again.”


“The dogs’ stay with Gillian was super convenient and easy. I loved the vibe and the dogs did too, lots of other dogs, cats and other animals to keep the hounds interested. Communication was really easy and helpful. A lot more personal and a nice, homesy vibe compared to a professional boarding kennel.”


“Erica was very good with Jude. She has a big back yard for Jude to run and play with her dog and still took him on walks. She was very accommodating on times for drop off and pick up.”
