“We had a last minute need for daycare and Brianna responded immediately to my request saying she could watch him for us. We were very comfortable leaving him in her care, sounds like he had a great day! Will definitely reach out to Brianna first when we need someone to watch benson for us again!”
“I was looking for a place to kennel my dog for 4 days. I had never done that before so I was worried. Scott was recommended to me by a trusted friend, who also has Scott watch her pup. First time meeting him and Brinley, things went really well. Lily had her first full day with him, I received updated pictures throughout the day and when I went to pick her up, she passed out in the car on the way home. Fast forward to a week later, Lily had her 2nd full day there. She could hardly keep her excitement in check when I pulled into the driveway. As soon as I opened the door, she charged up to the front to meet Scott. She absolutely LOVES going there. I have full confidence she'll be taken care of the 4 days, 3 nights she'll be there!”
“What a wonderful daycare for our 11 month old, high energy black lab. Mackenzie had to deal with a lot from our Eddie, and she handled him so well. Her other dogs are such a delight, fun and happy!”
“Andrea was a great communicator and I appreciated how responsive she was. Monte seemed really happy when I picked him up and I am sure we will be in touch with Andrea soon for future daycare/boarding opportunities.”
“Heather has been taking care of my pup, Junie for a few weeks. Between her and her two kids, they make sure my girl is well cared for. I never worry about Junie when she is with Heather. Heather even takes her for walks of an evening and drops her off. Heather truly goes above and beyond for my girl! Highly recommend her.”
“My first time using rover and Samantha was so great to work with. Easy to communicate with and my pup had the best day with her! He was well taken care of and enjoyed playing in her big back yard. Will absolutely use Samantha again!!”
“Jen was an absolute delight and took great care of both of my dogs! She was extremely accommodating and friendly! I highly recommend and will definitely rebook with her in the future as the need arises!”
“This was an amazing experience! I needed to make a trip to Ankeny and couldn’t leave my dog home for that long of a time so I hopped on this app and found her, so glad I did! He was a little scared at first but shortly made himself at home. Good communication and she sent photos! Made me feel good 💕I will be contacting Meagan again!”
“Ashley & Oziel we’re so accommodating when I explained that my pup had recently been sick & might still have some issues with vomiting or diarrhea. They sent me a pic in the afternoon & we’re very open to our picking him up whatever time we needed. Would highly recommend this nice, dog loving couple!”
About: I have experience with a wide variety of dogs, but especially with specials needs, senior, and small and large dogs. My old fur-baby, Jack, was special needs (born with scoliosis) and I did the majority of care for him. He lived to be 17 and a half. I work from home with a relatively flexible schedule. During the weekdays I am available for daycare, pop-ins, walks, and house-sitting. On the weekends I am available for boarding and overnights. I live in an apartment but am very active and can ensure plenty of outside time if desired. My complex also has a large fenced-in dog park area. I have one dog who is very friendly and can keep your dog company and play with. I am available to go to your place as well if prefered.
“Katie is a fantastic sitter ! She was very patient with my pup ? it was his first time staying in a stranger’s home. When I came to pick him up he looked so happy and energetic! She sent me multiple updates with pictures throughout the day which eased my nerves and worries. I will be using her again!!!”
“Jaden was very nice and easy to work with. He was very quick to respond. He sent pictures during the couple hour day care. Winston was happy when we came back. Will use Jaden again.”
“Penny has some new best friends! She always looked like she was having a blast! Jennifer even took her to her first water experience at the lake! Definitely will book with them again!”
“First time ever using this app and Lucia made it easy to book with her, nice and responsive! She sent me a video of my dog and that was comforting! Kona was happy and got to play her little heart out! Thank you so much!”
About: I’ve grown up with animals my entire life. I grew up on a farm, very experienced in pet sitting; my own dog had diabetes for 4 years so I’m experienced in administering medications.

I will care for your pets per your request, I will follow each clients requests while providing quality and loving pet care for your baby!! I take care of animals every day!! I have my own puppy who I care for, as well as cats that I help take care of I will do whatever you need me to do, and take care of your fur baby. Just let me know what you need and I will do that. I am not picky at all, and can work with you!
About: After saying goodbye to our beloved Brady of 14 years, we are now empty nesters who have been dog parents for 36+ years. We currently have two "grandogs" who we continue to love like family. We know how hard it is to find others to love your dog like you do. We would love to provide that love and care during times you are needing to be away from them. We are retired, very active grandparents to 5 kiddos. We enjoy walks and playing outdoors, and would love to include a dog in both. Potty breaks have always been a routine thing for us, and something we are mindful of even on a lazy day inside. I'm a firm believer in a dog always having access to clean water, including those hot days when they are outdoors. Because we quite often have our grandkids around, we would want to ensure that your dog is comfortable around children as well as safe around children. We will honor requirements you may have for crating your dog, but we prefer to allow them to have free roam of the home. We do not have a fenced in back yard. However, neighbors on both sides of us our fenced in, and there is a 50+ foot patch of prairie grass behind our yard. Your dog will not be outside off a leash without us, if he/she is not well trained. We do have a large, covered deck with a gate to provide additional outdoor opportunities for your dog.

Not only has she cared for her own dog that struggled with diabetes for four years, (insulin shots twice a day etc.) but she has helped many families dog and cat sit, walk dogs as needed, and give fur babies all the love and attention they deserve. I would trust her with any animal, she is amazing! She is the one I request whenever I need to go out of town. A+!!!”
