“Milli had a great weekend with Erin & Chris! They spoiled her while she was there! She also was very relaxed even after she returned home! I would definitely recommend them and appreciate that they limit the number of dogs at one time! Thanks Erin & Chris!”
“I have booked with Jessica a few times now and recommend her to anyone looking for top notch care for their pet. This most recent time I did not realize that my pup had a broken nail before dropping her off and Jessica saw it right away, took her to the vet, and went above and beyond to care for her during her week long stay. Also, my flight back to Des Moines was extremely delayed and Jessica was super accommodating and understanding. Jessica is incredibly responsive and I trust her completely with my dog Iommi. Whether you need a daycare stay or extended stay, Jessica is the person to book with. Thank you so much again Jessica!”
“Scott has watched our pup multiple times now and we are so thankful for him! We are finally able to travel knowing that our dog Ace is safe, happy, and taken care of. I never stress or worry when we are away, and he is always SO happy to arrive there and is a happy pup when we leave. Thank you Scott for everything!”
“I cannot recommend Lucia enough for the amazing care she provided for my dog, Haymish. From the moment they met, it was clear that she had a natural connection with animals. She was incredibly attentive, patient and loving , making sure Haymish was comfortable and well cared for at all times. Lucia kept me up to date with photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. When I picked him up, he was so excited and he looked great! I am so grateful for Lucia and her kindness and dedication. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after your fur baby, Lucia is the perfect choice. 😊”
“We are so grateful for Casandra! She played with Noah so much and kept us updated with pictures and videos while we were gone. I know he felt right at home with her. Would highly recommend!”
About: I have spent my entire life around animals, especially larger, older dogs. I am home full time while classes are online and am very flexible with sitting times. I am currently taking classes online for the summer, so I have plenty of time to take care of your furry friends! I tend to be busier on the weekends but if you give enough time in advance I am pretty flexible. I live in an apartment complex, and don't have a yard, so animals will have to be leashed when outside. I do not have a lot of space, so smaller animals are preferred, especially for longer stays.
“My pups had an absolute blast with Elizabeth! They came home happy and tired! She was great with providing updates with photos and videos while I was out of town which was so amazing!”
“Butter loved her stay at Ashly’s! Ashly is a professional and we felt instantly comfortable when dropping Butter off. Ashly did a great job following all of our care instructions. Butter had a great time playing with Ashly’s dog and definitely needed a bath from all the fun after we picked her up! Would definitely use Ashly’s services again. Thank you so much!”
“Second stay for our Rose with Samantha and it couldn't have gone better! Received multiple photos while we were away and very happy to have such a wonderful option while we are gone!”
“We came to Iowa for a wedding. Cory took good care of our 2 senior dogs (labs). One has separation anxiety that he was able to comfort and the other took a nap on his bed. He walked and fed them.”
“Lisa took care of our baby when we're out of town. She sent me regular updates which felt really nice. We were able to visit her place before booking to ensure our dog will get along with Missy. I will definitely recommend her. Thank you”
“Scott and Jessica were so sweet and fast with communicating. We loved their flexibility and the pictures they sent while they had our dog. We will definitely be using them again!”
“We needed a sitter at the last minute and Clare was able to take our little dog. I feel she took wonderful care of Chewey with ample walks and plenty of attention and sent pictures of a happy dog relaxing in the sun.”
“Ashley was great! I did not worry about our dog Harley while we were gone. Ashley answered me immediately when I checked in. I will definitely use her again, and highly recommend her.”
“This was our first time away from Stanley for more than a few days. Stanley seemed happy while we were gone and we felt better knowing he was well taken care of! He really likes Christy and Erkam!”
“We were worried about leaving our dog for 5 days with someone we didn't know and he hadn't stayed with before. That worry wasn't needed. Patty knew I was worried and was wonderful! We got pictures, videos, and comments about how the days were going twice a day. Patty loves and is knowledgeable about dogs and the wonderful care they get shows that. Our guy was obviously fond of Patty and we will definitely book with her again.”
“Alexandra made me feel very comfortable leaving Homie with her for a week. Her house is perfectly set up for dogs and she has a massive backyard. She washed Homie’s bedding before we picked him up and his food bowls too. She provided photos every day and really kept us reassured that he was well taken care of.”
“Our pups had an amazing time and they were cared for as if we were caring for them ourselves! Can’t say enough great things. Will definitely bring them back in the future!”
