“Jason took great care of our dog. He woud sent multiple pics (30+ pics in a day!), and ensure that the daily routine was followed. He went above and beyond to ensure that things were going great while we were traveling. I’d definitely recommend Jason.”


“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!”


“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!”


“Jake is so easy to work with. My dog had a great time while we were away. He’s always on the anxious side and Jake and his dog, Walter made him feel comfy. I didn’t worry at all while we were out of town. Thanks again!”


“Jackie was a wonderful sitter for our pup! She treated her with such affection, we felt like we were leaving her with a dear friend. I could see how happy our dog was at Jackie’s home from the photos she sent. She was such a joy to work with and will do so again!”


“Adela was great! She set pictures and gave us updates on Bella daily! She met with us in advance and had Bella meet her two dogs! Bella had a great time! We will definitely book with Adela again!”


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!

“Great sitters! They included our dog in everything extra they did with their own dogs. They knew she loves to hike/explore, go on rides, play & she loves to cuddle and they did it all!! We would definitely recommend them as they treated her like their own.”


“Nova had great time staying with Isaac and his family for a long weekend. He and his daughter were wonderful caretakers of Nova! We received updates and pictures throughout the day, which is always nice! They were incredibly accommodating with our changing schedule. They spoiled her with treats and walks. We will definitely be reaching out again next time we need someone!”


“Pip had a wonderful time at Emily’s home with her and her Fiancés dog Frankie! Emily was flexible with scheduling pickup and drop off times and sent plenty of fun photos! Pip will be visiting again!”


“We had the best experience with Trish! She watched our two goldendoodles for two weeks while we were away. She sent several photo updates everyday - of them getting snuggles, playing fetch in their backyard, getting yummy homemade treats - which showed that she was taking such great care of our pups. Trish even brushed our dogs routinely which we didn’t ask her to do! She was so warm, welcoming, responsive, and trustworthy from the first message to the final pickup. She clearly adores dogs, well definitely book her again and we would strongly recommend her to anyone!”


“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.”


“I haven’t left my pups overnight in years and I was nervous. However, Beckett took great care of them and made me feel good about leaving them for a weekend. Highly recommend!”


“Anne Was very positive about Freddie and sent many photos through out the day. We did an overnight stay for our 9 month old lab puppy. Freddie did well. He will be staying for a week soon. Thanks so much”


“So happy to have left our pup with Tiffany and her family! He made himself at home and had a much better time than at a boarding kennel. Will absolutely rebook again!”
