Justin took such great care of my girl Winnie when I was away on vacation. He provided pictures of everyday and she looked like she was having so much fun with his dog Burton. I knew she was in great hands and didn’t worry while I was away. Thank you!

Erin and Chris are amazing with Neumann! I have never trusted anyone as much with him, and I think he was even a little sad to come home with me after his last stay... Can't wait to book with them again!!

We're entriely comfortable leaving our dog with Jenevieve. She has great communication, and gives us regular updates while our dog is staying with her. Her pup Roman is a great host as well and makes our dog feel right home. They've become the best of pals!

My dog was well cared for and very loved. She sent pics during his stay to show how happy he was. The only issue was on our return day. I texted to see if we could pick him up after midnight, and never received a reply all day and phone calls went straight to voicemail. So I was worried something had happened to her. All was fine in the end, but it was concerning.

Noah has been a fabulous help to us by keeping one of our cats with him while we determine whether or not rehoming is necessary. I couldn’t have imagined a better “foster” for her. Noah communicates well, is flexible as needed, and has given her a loving place to stay.

When our last booking cancelled at the last minute, Lisa stepped up and agreed to watch Violet for us last minute. She was amazing with her! Violet has anxiety and is a bit high maintenance but Lisa and her husband went above and beyond making sure she was taken care of, had her medicine, and was loved during the week while we were gone. She sent daily updates and pictures of the fun they were having. I highly recommend having Lisa take care of your furry friends!

Kayla was able to accommodate my 2 month old puppy by boarding him super-last minutes while I was in from out-of-town. She was super helpful and so sweet with my dog Rāz! She had some other pups and a kitty to socialize with as well. Highly recommend if you're in the Des Moines area. Thank you, Kayla! (:

Callie and her family are terrific and we won’t hesitate to book with them again. Our shy dog took to them like long lost friends. I feel confident he was living his best life when he stayed with them. She sent photos throughout his stay so I could feel at ease. Can’t recommend enough!

Our dogs stay with Jessica was fantastic! She took our dogs on short notice and was very responsive to all my messages and questions. Jessica sent photo and video updates throughout our dogs’ stay. I appreciated these so much knowing my pups were doing well and in good hands. We will definitely use her again!

Hope had a great time at Evan's. You can tell that he is a 'dog' person and Hope took to him immediately. Hope was ready and waiting for us when we came to pick her up. I felt very comfortable leaving my baby girl (actually she is 2 1/2 years old but she is a rescue and very dear to us) with him and would do so again. Highly recommended.
