1. Yasmin M.

“Great job by Yasmin. Cyrus the dog got to run in the yard and play tug, and Frank the cat was safely fed in the privacy of his bedroom. Well done and we appreciate Yasmin's pet care.”


2. Mackenzie W.

“Our senior dogs tend to get really scared with new people and are high anxiety when we get home. This time was different - they were happy, calm and went right back to their normal routine when we got home. We had daily photo/video updates which was so appreciated. Highly recommend!!”


3. Allison G.

“Allison did a great job with our elderly, diabetic dog and our cat while we were away for a trip! Our animals were well cared for, and our house was taken care of for us while we were gone. Allison followed all of our instructions, and communicated well. We would definitely reach out to Allison for help again!”


4. Brenda E.


“Brenda was amazing with our boys! She also sent pictures so we could see them daily. She also took care of our fish and our house. Even changed the sheets! Definitely would book again. Thanks again Brenda!”


5. Ashlee M.

“Thank you so much! The dogs were so happy when we got home. Ashlee communicated with us the whole time and sent pics of the pups and cat. She made sure they felt comfortable and safe with her. 10/10 !!!”


6. Jenna R.

“Jenna was such a wonderful sitter for our 2 dogs for a 3 day vacation. House was very clean and she took out the trash and stripped the beds, even though we didn’t tell her to do so. The dogs were so comfortable with her and it was like we weren’t even gone! We will definitely be booking again in the future!!”


7. Nadine H.

“We booked Nadine last minute for a trip for our dog. She was great about sending updates and pictures while we were gone. Definitely would use again!”


8. Summer M.

“Summer did an amazing job. This was our first experience with in-home care and it was really reassuring to know that Bama was getting good care. She noticed if there were any issues, worked with me when things came up, and, most importantly gave her love and attention when we weren't there. Her vet tech training gave me peace of mind since Bama is an older dog. She sent pics and videos, which I really appreciated. I would definitely use Summer again if the need arose. Thanks, Summer!”


9. Jessica D.

“Jessica was wonderful with our dogs and the overnights she did for us while we were out of town. She kept us notified of how things were going! Thank you Jessica!!!”


10. Alexis G.


“Alexis is phenomenal. She's great with our two giant dogs, in fact I'm pretty sure one of our dogs like her more than us when she comes over. We've had Alexis several times and would highly recommend to anyone else needing a sitter.”




11. Kendra M.

“Kendra is the absolute best! I trust her and know my dogs are being cared for. She eagerly took on the new puppy I just got - she is top notch!”

13. Nejra V.

“This was our Winnie’s first ever stay with a sitter and I couldn’t have picked a better person! Nejra was absolutely fantastic! She provided photos throughout the day which were great. She was definitely approved by all the animals which was great!!”


14. Nancy P.

“Nancy stayed at our house for two nights and was great with our two cats! One needs liquid medicine administered twice a day and she handled it with no problem. Nancy was very communicative, and sent pics & videos for us to see how well our kitties were doing while we were away. We will feel perfectly comfortable using Nancy again!”


15. Jess P.

“Jess is amazing and we will def use her again! She went above and beyond even getting meds from vet ! Our boys are very happy!”

17. Cameron L.

“Cameron did a great job with our two large dogs that believe they are still puppies! The dogs were very well taken care of and loved. When Pookie and Belvedere had a rough first night, Cameron communicated with me and we found a way to help them both out. House was in great shape when we got home. We appreciated Cameron’s photos of our dogs and communication.”


18. Katlin S.

“Katlin is a saint and great with my dogs! We usually use her for house and dog sitter, she's responsible and respectful of our home. Gladly schedule her again.”


19. Dakota S.
“Dakota has taken care of my dog multiple times, and I couldn’t be happier with the care and attention he provides. He’s always reliable, keeps me updated with photos and messages, and makes sure my dog feels comfortable and loved. It’s clear he genuinely enjoys spending time with animals, and I always feel at ease knowing my dog is in great hands. I highly recommend Dakota to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet caregiver!”


20. Erin W.
About: My family had our beloved French Mastiff (From Turner and Hooch!) for 9 years before he passed. I miss playing with him and want to help care for others pets as best as I can! We recently moved back to Iowa from Texas to be closer to family and I am a licensed teacher for Health and FCS! I'm taking a break from the classroom since we've been back and love walking! What a better way than to help others, get some exercise and play with animals! I have good flexibility for pets! My kids go to school and I am a full time stay at home mom. I am available for short walks, longer walks, drop in checks and love wrestling with high energy animals! Pets are family! They deserve space, love, affection and respect just as any other family member... maybe a few extra hugs sometimes! I am happy to provide in client home care and walking as it suits the family's needs!
