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!

Justin was great watching our dog Chase for a week! He added all the supplements into our dogs food daily, gave him 1:1 time, let him play everywhere (in his home and the backyard,) and sent us daily update photos and videos of Chase! When we first met Justin he asked appropriate questions about Chase and was very welcoming to us and Chase. We are extremely happy to have someone we completely trust to take care of Chase in the future!

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

Alice is absolutely amazing ! As soon as we dropped Benji off, we felt like he was in the best hands! This was one of the first times we were away from him this long and Alice made us feel so at ease and reassured throughout the whole trip! I’ve found a permanent dog-sitter in Alice ! I highly recommend and appreciate you, Alice ! Thank you for everything !!

Maricela was awesome with easing in Sami into her home, giving her space to get used to the new environment. She sent pictures daily and was always incredibly responsive in both the inquiry and once booked. She accommodated our requests and was incredibly friendly. Definitely recommend Maricela if you are looking for someone that will treat your pet as their own!

Cory did great with our pups! We were gone for 10 days so we were a little worried but the dogs did great with Cory. They got a lot of walks in and when we picked them up they were as happy as can be! Would definitely rebook with Cory.

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!

Elizabeth was very responsive and asked questions to ensure it was a good fit ahead of time. During our dog’s stay she provided several daily updates with pictures and videos. She had him out playing with new dog friends in the fenced yard, and he came home a tired boy. Highly recommend! We will definitely book her again.

Freya had the best week with Scott and Jess! If you’ve got a pup that loves to play, look no further for the best boarding experience. From the meet and greet, it was clear that Scott and Jess have dog boarding down to a science. They have a great space for it, and dogs are clearly their passion. After that, drop off was a breeze, even for us teary eyed owners. We received picture updates every day, and we could see the joy and care in each one. Freya experienced a doggie birthday party, time in the pool, and running with the pack around the yard. Since picking her up, she’s been out like a light! We couldn’t recommend Scott and Jess more—they took the anxious/guilty feeling of leaving our pup behind for vacation and turned it into “Freya’s on vacation, too!”
