Nash always loves to go to Scott’s place, and now our new puppy, Nala, got to join in on the fun, too! They both had a blast and got to run around and play outside most of the day! Scott is so great about sending picture updates throughout the day. We will absolutely keep bringing our pups to Scott!

Sam was fantastic and so accommodating for our Daisy! Our pup had a blast at her house and Sam updates us and sent pictures of the fun pool time and lounge time our pup got. We will 100% use her again!

Kayla is awesome. I trust no one with my puppy, I’m an extreme helicopter mom and worry constantly. She kept me updated with pictures all day which was really comforting, I always felt at ease. Her times were very flexible with my work schedule and I couldn’t be happier I left him with her! Thank you Kayla!!!

Emily and her boyfriend took care of my puppy Luna. Luna was happy when she came home and was excited the next morning to go back! I appreciate the love and care they gave my puppy, and if anyone is looking for flexibility, a convenient location (downtown), and people that will love and spoil your dog, I recommend!

Our Golden boy, Yaz, had a great time with Evan and his family! Yaz is very much a family dog, so he adjusted well to the loving family environment at Evan's. I have now booked stays for 2 different dogs at Evan's, both of them were well cared for, and I trust him and his family implicitly. Highly Recommended!

About: We are a household of animal lovers. We go on daily walks, play in the yard, and make sure the pets are pampered and living their best life I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule where I can monitor and play with the animals at all times throughout the day. We have a decent sized fenced in yard that the dogs love to run around in. We also go on daily walks that we require leashes for.

Dana was able to accommodate a last minute request on a Holiday weekend. Very responsive with messages and remained very flexible with drop off and pick up times. Theo and Piper returned home completely exhausted and very content! They enjoyed their stay! I would definitely recommend Dana to all fur parents!

Lyndsey works with animals everyday at work and comes home to her dogs, cats, horses, mules, and chickens. If you want someone with animal experience she is it! Lyndsey watches over my mini farm of around 60 animals everytime I need to head out of town. All of my animals love her and she really takes her time and cares for them. I would highly recommend her to take care of your loved pets as well!!

Marisa is the best with your doggie! She will take them for multiple walks a day. She makes sure to give them all the belly rubs and that they get the same love they would from mom and dad while they are gone. If you need her for 2 weeks or 2 days, Marisa is your girl! Nobody else I would trust my dog with!

Amethyst was so spectacular! This was the first time me leaving Sandy with someone she didn’t know and it went great! She sent photos throughout their time there which helped with the tiny bit of worry I had. 10 out of 10 would recommend this lovely sitter.

Crystal and her family are amazing with dogs. I had a conference to attend for two days in Des Moines and Crystal was super communicative and helpful the entire time. I felt confident leaving my dog with her knowing that she would be well cared for while I was busy. 10/10 would recommend every time!
