When our last booking cancelled at the last minute, Lisa stepped up and agreed to watch Violet for us last minute. She was amazing with her! Violet has anxiety and is a bit high maintenance but Lisa and her husband went above and beyond making sure she was taken care of, had her medicine, and was loved during the week while we were gone. She sent daily updates and pictures of the fun they were having. I highly recommend having Lisa take care of your furry friends!

Our dog Beulah had an amazing stay with Ally for almost 3 weeks. Ally communicated well and sent updates on how Beulah was doing. She even made her a gift and took care of her as if she were her own. We highly recommend Ally and plan to book with her again.

Justin took such great care of my girl Winnie when I was away on vacation. He provided pictures of everyday and she looked like she was having so much fun with his dog Burton. I knew she was in great hands and didn’t worry while I was away. Thank you!

Kayla was able to accommodate my 2 month old puppy by boarding him super-last minutes while I was in from out-of-town. She was super helpful and so sweet with my dog Rāz! She had some other pups and a kitty to socialize with as well. Highly recommend if you're in the Des Moines area. Thank you, Kayla! (:

Hope had a great time at Evan's. You can tell that he is a 'dog' person and Hope took to him immediately. Hope was ready and waiting for us when we came to pick her up. I felt very comfortable leaving my baby girl (actually she is 2 1/2 years old but she is a rescue and very dear to us) with him and would do so again. Highly recommended.

I used Sarah because I wanted to take my dog with me on a road trip… she was super flexible on drop off and pick up. My dog loved playing with her pups in her fantastic back yard. Next time I am in DM I will definitely try to use her again!

Our pup Tucker loves his vacation days with Scott. Each time we've booked with Scott, he has been prompt and provided regular updates and pictures. It's always been a pleasant experience and we will continue to go with Scott for all of our future bookings.

Erin and Chris are amazing with Neumann! I have never trusted anyone as much with him, and I think he was even a little sad to come home with me after his last stay... Can't wait to book with them again!!

My dog was well cared for and very loved. She sent pics during his stay to show how happy he was. The only issue was on our return day. I texted to see if we could pick him up after midnight, and never received a reply all day and phone calls went straight to voicemail. So I was worried something had happened to her. All was fine in the end, but it was concerning.

Maricela was amazing!!!! Tito our little 6 month old Shih Tzu Maltese mix had a blast. Many walks and lots of outdoor time. Tons of pictures and videos of his time with her. We will 100% be using her again. Thank you so much for a top notch experience
