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.

Meagan took exceptional care of our Maycee! She sent regular updates daily and kept us informed on what she was doing and how she was doing. I really felt like she was being cared for by a friend or family member after meeting Meagan just once. This was the first time we have used Rover and having Meagan care for our dog gave us such piece of mind.

They took extra special care of Pause and made sure he felt at home. They even sent him home with an extra doggie bag of treats!! He is tired out from all the fun and will be staying over again in the future!

Kevin watched our pug for six nights while we were in Hawaii and kept us updated with photos and fun stories. He made us feel super comfortable, leaving our furry family member. Kevin‘s dog Ricky is a big bonus. He’s a fun little guy and Sushi loved having a friend for the week. Can’t wait to book with Kevin again in the future highly recommend.!

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!

Hannah was amazing! She showed our sweet Butter so much love and we felt totally comfortable and confident that our anxious dog was being cared for so well the entire time we were away. Hannah sent tons of photos and updates which is always the best. We highly recommend her and would leave Butter with her again in a heartbeat.

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!

Amazing! A Huge Thank You and Shout Out to Rex! My frenchie has never stayed with someone else before and my anxiety was through the roof. Rex instantly connected with Oliver and made him feel right at home! I loved the communication and the pictures of their day. It definitely put me at ease while I was out of town! I 100% recommend Rex and will be using him for all my future boarding needs! Thank You Rex! Oliver says Thank You too! 💙

Megan was absolutely incredible!! She accepted our request to watch Maverick last minute & was very accommodating. He loved running around her big yard & hanging out with her dogs. She sent lots of photo updates. Our dog has a lot of separation anxiety but he was perfectly great & happy with her. If you need someone in the Des Moines area, 10/10 couldn’t recommend enough!!✨
