Melia and Benjamin have been fantastic caretakers for our dog Apple. They truly took care of Apple as she was their own and kept updating us daily about her with pictures and checking in. When we picked her up it was obvious she was happy and looked well cared after. They were also extremely accommodating with us. We ran into multiple issues and returned 2 days later than originally planned but they kept Apple during that time and were very supportive. We are thankful we found them and will definitely keep coming back to them as schedules allow!

Gina is friendly and accommodating 😀. Her house is wonderful and very "puppy proof". There is space for the pups to play and a great selection of toys/bones. My dog made himself right at home during the meet & greet and didn't want to leave! 😅 She sent pictures/video during the stay. I also got sick during my trip and she was very kind to offer and drop Charlie off so I didn't have to drive there when I didn't feel good.

Mirna was EXCELLENT!!! She went above and beyond for our two dogs. She played fetch with our puppy and gave adequate and loving cuddles with our senior dog. Mirna sent pictures and made a fun video of the dogs enjoying their stay! Would highly recommend!

Sarina has the perfect personality for taking care of pups, and her dog is a great playmate!! We came home to very content and worn out dogs, which means it was a great stay for them! Loved getting the pictures throughout their stay!!

I was so pleased with Sidney. My dog had a great time during her stay! It was like a summer camp for dogs...so many trips to the dog park and relaxing in kiddie pools! Sidney's dog J.C. was also a great companion for my dog. Sidney was also a great communicator. I received numerous updates, pictures, and videos. I would definitely book with Sidney again!

Jake was great and very accommodating to our schedule/plans. We booked a week out before our trip and was worried we wouldn’t find a sitter for our corgi, Archie, in time since we didn’t want to board him at a facility. Glad we were able to do a meet and greet prior to finalizing. His dog, Walter, was very kind and patient to be around Archie. I can tell Archie had so much fun in the pictures we were sent and at pickup. Thanks, Jake! Will be working with him in the future!

Charlie, loved his visit with Macy and Luke. When we met Macy, she immediately greeted Charlie with tender attention and warmth. We received cute photos while we were at the football game, and we didn't worry about him at all while he had his "sleep over:) When we picked Charlie up on Sunday morning, Macy was ready with him outside, and he seemed so calm and happy. Our dog has issues with anxiety, but it was immediately evident that he felt comfortable with Macy. Normally, he'd race to us with a "take me home" look, but he stayed by her side until we reached down to pick him up:). Our son is in grad school in Iowa City, and we would absolutely leave Charlie with Macy and Luke again while visiting town. We recommend them very highly.

Lori and Kelly were wonderful with my canine kids. My dogs are very far apart in years, and they knew just what to do to make them both feel comfortable. They were patient with my high energy girl, providing suitable outlets for her to get her yayas out! And they were welcoming to my geriatric one. My dogs played well with their dogs, which was so good for their socialization. I highly recommend Lori and Kelly!

Kelly treated my dog as one of her own! She took him on walks, made him a special Sunday breakfast, and let him play in the kiddie pool with her 2 other dogs all weekend. I will absolutely be rebooking with her if I ever need boarding services in the future.

If you're looking for someone to watch your pet, know they're in exceptional hands when staying with Seth! At his core, Seth is a caregiver — for humans, animals, plants, ...you name it. He has the energy, love, and attention you want around your furry companion when you're away. He can run through the woods if that's what they need or he can assist them down stairs if their legs just don't work the way they used to. Seth is responsible, tech savvy, and communicative. All the strong, high-energy dogs I have owned have stayed with Seth and I have always found comfort knowing he can handle their energy and also check on them via web cam if he has to leave his house for any reason. I don't hesitate in reaching out to Seth to pet sit and you shouldn't either. 10/10

I have known Jace for several years and he has helped me out with my dog on countless occasions. From taking her out during the day, to walking her, and even watching her for a weekend away, I can always trust him to take care of my sweet girl Bella. He would do amazing in this roll!

Abbey is amazing. She watched my dog with the utmost care and attention. My dog has anxiety and social issues, but she was able to care for Dean as if he was her own dog. She sent me daily updates on his health, behavior status. He had been having stomach issues recently. I highly recommend Abbey for your dog sitting needs. She’s the best!
