Right when we walked in Wilbur sniffed out the toys and bully sticks! Cynthia kept us updates with pictures and videos of Wilbur running around and playing in the yard all weekend.

Casandra came to our rescue when we needed to leave town on short notice. She was so wonderful with our dog Louie and sent updates on his stay (including an adorable picture of her grandson snuggling with him). She was quick to respond and flexible with the drop-off/pick-up. Louie loved the attention that he got while staying with her.

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.

Andrea was one of a kind sitter. She took great care of our fuzzball, so well that we could enjoy our vacation without worries. She responded quickly to all our messages and sent us pictures. She went above and beyond to accomodate our delayed flight. So very sorry, Andrea. Will definitely book again when we are in the area. Highly recommend Andrea!

Meagan and her sweet daughter are spectacular! They took amazing care of our energetic dog, Betty. She sent daily updates with photos, followed Betty’s care info, and absolutely made Betty feel comfortable, loved and welcome into their home! Betty was exhausted after we picked her up, so I know she enjoyed her stay. We felt completely as ease knowing our dog was in such great hands for the week and will definitely be booking with Meagan again!

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!

We hit the lottery finding this family!!! Alicia, Dan, and their daughter took absolutely incredible care of my dog, Coco. From the moment we connected, they made me feel completely comfortable leaving her in their care. They treated Coco like she was part of their family! Every day Alicia sent updates and photos, which meant so much to me and gave me total peace of mind while I was away. It was clear from the pictures and messages that Coco was happy, loved, and getting tons of attention 😊 I could not have had a better experience!!! I will absolutely be booking with them (and only them!) again! ❤️🐾

Kevin is simply the best! We have known him for two years and he does a wonderful job every time. He is the type of person that all dogs love and can relax around. Kevin’s communication before, during, and after stays is awesome; I’m able to relax and know things are going well while we’re away. I’d recommend Kevin to anyone and everyone!

Morgan did such an amazing job of taking care of our pup. This was our first time using Rover and leaving her with a non-family member, so we were a bit nervous but Morgan immediately put us at ease. She was so thoughtful, caring, and attentive. Bella stayed with Morgan for a week and we were able to fully enjoy our vacation knowing she was in the best hands possible being well taken care of and spoiled while we were away. We would recommend Morgan to anyone without the slightest hesitation and will absolutely trust Morgan to care for Bella during future vacations! Thank you again, Morgan!

I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Carly took great care of my little Yorkie, Teddy while I was away on a work trip. From the moment we met, I felt completely at ease knowing my fur baby was in such good hands. She kept me updated with photos, messages, and videos, which meant so much and gave me real peace of mind. Teddy came back happy, well cared for, and clearly loved all the attention and affection. It’s never easy trusting someone with your dog, but Carly truly went above and beyond. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitter.

Elizabeth was super accommodating when our travel plans kept us an extra day longer (snow storm). She was very good at communicating with us by sending picture and video updates but not over the top where it was too much. Our dog Zeus had a blast and we would definitely have him stay with her and her family again!
