Alice was fabulous!! She sent photos and a video and updates as to how our pupster was doing. We felt confident that she was in very good hands. Our dog is usually anxious around other dogs but she warmed up quickly to Alice’s little frenchie and they even had some play time. We will use her again if we need this service in the future.

Sadie enjoyed her stay with Lisa so much, I'm not sure she wanted to come home! She even had her own Thanksgiving dinner. We appreciated the pictures and updates during her stay. Thanks!

She was wonderful and I already rebooked with her. I got updates and I know that my dogs were happy. Her kids also helped and loved them. It was like they were just visiting in another family. They weren’t just in crates for days. They were with the family.

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!

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!

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 amazing! My dog Chewie stayed at her house for 6 days and he had so much fun. She kept me updated and sent me pictures every day. She's got a backyard so he was able to run around with all his new dog friends and get his energy out. I will definitely go to her again when we need to.

Ashley and Ozzie took good care of our dog while we vacationed. We appreciated the photos they sent along with updates on how it was going. I was nervous about leaving him but they put my mind at ease with their reassuring words.

Liam took excellent care of our energetic mini-labradoodle! They are a dog friendly home and truly welcomed her right in! She got a lot of snuggles, attention, and walks. I was SO grateful having Liam watching her over a weekend while I was out of town. He kept me updated on her activities and sent darling pictures of her, I had such peace of mind knowing she was being so well cared for. I highly recommend Liam and will certainly be booking him again! Thank you, Liam! 🐶

Knowledgeable and kind caretakers. My dog seemed to like it there and I appreciated hearing how well he did for them. The pics throughout the week were a very nice bonus (and a comfort). :)
