My wife and I LOVED Travis and Danielle. We booked them for five days and everything went smoothly. They adapted extremely well to our vocal Siberian husky and seemed to enjoy her company. They had a fenced in yard with playmates that kept her company while we were away which was nice. They are very thorough about asking ALL the questions on how to take care of your dog, they send you a questionnaire that’s all about your dogs needs and quirks which was so comforting to know they actually care - and this was before even having her. They are very prepared and send you a bunch of photos through a google drive link if you request daily updates (the photos were hilarious). They live in a great location and have outgoing personalities that’s hard not to like. They gave us a great experience so we will be booking with them for now on. Five stars all around, you will not regret choosing them!

We have used Myle several times now to watch our dog Frankie and are very pleased. Frankie fits right in with her home environment and gets along well with her dogs. She spends a lot of time playing tug and fetch with him and takes him out for many walks. Frankie is well cared for and Myle posts lots of pictures of him to keep our mind at ease. We highly recommend Myle!!!

Thank you again! Saige had a wonderful time playing with you, your family and the other dogs! She was very well taken care of during her stay. She is even showing more interest in playing frisbee.

Amanda’s communication was excellent and we discussed my dog’s feeding schedule and needs and she made sure to accommodate. I also received several cute photos during his stay. I could tell he was happy when I went to pick him up. Definitely recommend!

I left Kota with her for the day while at work and she kept me updated and made sure to give him attention. I got picture and video updates while at work and had an easy drop-off and pick-up. Would definitely recommend her and go back to her in the future!

This was Coconut's first stay with Amanda, and I think she really bonded with her. Amanda was flexible with times, and she has her own dogs that Coconut loved to play with! Since Coconut is used to sleeping in bed with me, Amanda let her sleep in her bed to make sure she was comfortable. She also sent pictures which I loved. I would highly recommend Amanda!

About: I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life, also caring for other people’s. Between my five children, I have 10 grand dogs, with weights ranging from 15 pounds to over 100. We are a very pet friendly family with dogs, cats, and Guinea pigs! Each and everyone are not just our pets, but family, This is exactly how I treat other people’s fur babies in my care. I’m currently retired with a walking trail behind my house. I walk 6 to 7 miles a day and really enjoy it when I can have a fur baby along. I are home all day, so I have plenty of time to love on your pets. I let them up on our furniture and in my bed. I always treat them as family, just like all my own pets were treated. I have a large yard, so plenty of space to run. There’s a walking trail right behind our home. With permission, there are dog parks close by. Pets are welcome anywhere in my house. I’ve cared for dogs from 10 pounds to over 100, all loved just the same.

I had to leave the country for about 3 weeks due to my personal business and I asked Jason as always to care for my babies. I heard the weather was crazy here in Iowa on the first week of February, to the point where cars couldn't move. He notified me thoroughly throughout the whole 3 weeks which made me very comfortable. When I was out of contact due to time difference/internet issue, he still kept helping me out with suggestions and waited for me to respond which could've been a long burden. He truly TRULY cares about the pets, not because of business but from his heart. I really appreciate your help Jason. Thank you so much for the great care.

She went above and beyond, Nixon has some health and incontinence issues, we already made arrangements for Nixon to stay with her, but suddenly he had to stay at the vet. She offered to visit him at the vet. When he was ready to leave she picked him up and gave him great care untill we returned home
