“Flights got messed up. Doyle and Mike graciously took care of our little one for an extra night, and it was such a relief to not worry about hunter while we dealt with everything else.”

About: I attended Iowa Westerns vet tech program, I have worked for various veterinarians, and have over 20yrs of experience pet sitting and boarding. I have experience with all breeds and sizes of dogs including puppy and senior animals. I am a stay at home mom so your dog will have 24/7 loving care. They will have access to 7acres of trails to hike. With lots of pets and cuddles. My home is pet friendly, however your pet must be ok with children and cats. Home not suited for Aggressive animals. Animals will be treated as if they are part of the family
“We had the most pleasant experience! This was our first time ever using Rover, and they made it such a positive one. They kept us updated throughout the day with pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that our dogs were receiving lots of love and attention! We honestly felt like they were being spoiled the entire time! They truly went above and beyond for our pups and treated them as if they were their own. Their care, communication, and kindness made all the difference, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend them and would absolutely trust them with our dogs again. ❤️🐾”

“Melody was great with Bucky! She was very flexor with our schedule and helped watch my dog while traveling for the holidays. Extremely friendly. Would let he watch Bucky anytime.”

“5 star household! Our old man was so tired from all the play time. They provided great photos and updates and showed concern when he had a bit of bleeding from tug of war. Knowing they pay attention to details gave us additional peace of mind.”

“Alexis did an amazing job watching my doggo for me over the weekend while I was out of town! She sent multiple updates daily which included pictures of my dog having a great time:) I never had any doubts as to his safety and wellbeing. If you need your dog boarded I cannot recommend Alexis enough!”

About: I’ve had a dog in the home for almost my entire life, and got my first on my own during Covid to have a friend around 😊 My second dog moved in two years ago. I work full-time from home, so, other than leaving once a day for working out at the gym, my schedule is flexible to fit around your pet’s needs. I have a fenced yard and two dogs who love to play. I allow dogs on the furniture and have a gate to prevent them from getting downstairs. My neighborhood is quiet and great for walks.
“As always, Roger took great care of our pup. The multiple pictures he sent throughout each day gave us great peace of mind while we were gone. Our pup came home happy and tired! Thanks again, Roger!”

“Millie loved her stay at Robert’s house! It was my first time leaving her for two weeks so I was nervous, but Robert checked in daily with updates and photos. Millie loved his backyard and their daily walks/ runs. Definitely plan to use Robert again in the future!”

“Super friendly, beautiful home on top of it all has frenchies. So very knowledgeable about this type of breed. Next vacation I will be using her. Was updated everyday about my Berkie and didn’t have to worry about my fur baby, thank you so much”

“We’d never done private personal dog care before and we were blessed to have Bethany be our first sitter. Bethany was very attentive as if Jax was her own dog. Staying with Bethany and her family seemed to keep Jax calm and relaxed. We will ask for Bethany again.”

“Gabby and her family did an excellent job caring for and looking after Cooper for a night and day. They provided ample stimulation through backyard activities with other dogs and children. She sent nice videos/photos of Cooper letting me know he was doing okay and was timely in her communications. I would definitely go back again.”


“Really great would definitely use them again! I really appreciate such detailed updates and multiple times a day. It made me feel a lot more at ease about leaving Ellie with someone new. Thanks again!”

“Highly recommend Jaclyn! Although I’d kind of like to keep her a secret! You can tell she is dog lover! My dog had fun running with their dogs! Would definitely use her again!”

“I appreciated to meet and greet prior to leaving Sasha with Ashlee. Ashlee was prepared for our arrival and ready when I returned earlier than expected. Sasha was relaxed when I picked her up, not anxious. Thank you for taking good care of my girl!!”


“Jill and her family love Stella and take such good care of her when she stays at their home. Jill sends pictures of Stella and lets us know how she is doing. We are so blessed to have Jill and her family care for Stella.”
“Allyson was amazing. I loved the fact she had a fenced in backyard for goose to run wild. My guy is a little hyper and humper lol, but they took it all in stride. I will definitely be using Allyson and her loving pet friendly home. She is so nice and caring a total genuine person.”

“Very happy with the communication and picture updates. Kristen kept my concerns checked before I even expressed them. I also sincerely appreciate the flexibility of drop-off and pick-up by another party. Will gladly use again next time!”

“Bailey was very good with Oakley - a very large but "old" dog. She had her best interests in mind the whole time and just let Oakley be herself. Very friendly, accommodating, and immediately communicative at all phases of booking, the stay, and the pick up”
