1. Jenevieve Y.
“She was wonderful and I already rebooked with her. I got updates and I know that my dogs were happy. Her kids also helped and loved them. It was like they were just visiting in another family. They weren’t just in crates for days. They were with the family.”
2. Madison P.
“Madison was amazing watching our dog, Gator. She sent tons of pictures and we were confident Gator was in safe hands with Madison. It is evident she cares so much about the pups she takes care of and best of all, Gator came home happy and tired. We won’t hesitate to call her again in the future!”

6. Alexandra H.
“This was an amazing choice for us and we will absolutely reach out again if we need a dog sitter. The dogs clearly had a great time and I'm so glad Hazel was around so they had an extra pal to hangout with. Communicating was easy and we felt well updated (and we loved the photos of the doggos)”
7. Maricela V.
“Maricela was awesome with easing in Sami into her home, giving her space to get used to the new environment. She sent pictures daily and was always incredibly responsive in both the inquiry and once booked. She accommodated our requests and was incredibly friendly. Definitely recommend Maricela if you are looking for someone that will treat your pet as their own!”
8. Scott S.
“Scott did a great job watching our dog over the weekend. He provided us pictures all weekend long and helped ease our anxiety with our first experience of boarding our pup. Will definitely book again in the future.”
9. Alice b.
“Alice was amazing! I was so nervous about leaving my dog with someone I did not know but she put me at ease as soon as we met. It was readily apparent that she has a lot of experience with dogs, and the safety and well-being of those in her care is her primary concern. She sent daily photos, videos and updates while I was gone. And it was obvious that Lucky enjoyed himself while he was there. Alice is a kind-hearted and responsible caregiver. She is at the top of my call list for future needs. Thanks Alice!”
10. Madison T.
“We loved Madison!! Our bloodbound Belle is the sweetest dog but with her size can be a handful..Madison was wonderful with her.....and her dog and our dog Belle became fast friends. I would definitely reccomend her!!!”
11. Jaden B.
“Jaden is simply the best! He will make your dogs feel loved and adapt to the individual needs of each pet. He gives great updates and provides plenty of photos. He will make sure you’re at ease when leaving your pets with him being that this was the first time we used Rover this was very important to us. We will definitely be booking again.”
12. Cory W.
“Lifesaver and LOVES animals. Never left my dog with anyone other than my mom and I didn’t feel nervous at all. Sent me pictures and played with blaze. BLAZE LOVED THE BIRDS 🤣🫶🏼”
13. Carlee J.
“Carlee did great with our pup! We were gone at a music festival, and we received so many updates. We felt that she had a great time with her and her family.”
14. Jessica V.
“This was the first time we’ve boarded our dogs, and we were nervous. Jessica put us at ease by doing a couple of meet and greets to see if the dogs would be compatible. One at a public place, and one at her house. She treated our dogs as if they were her own. Jessica sent us photos and updates each day. They had a blast, and we will definitely use Jessica again the next time we need to board them.”
15. Ashly B.
“Butter loved her stay at Ashly’s! Ashly is a professional and we felt instantly comfortable when dropping Butter off. Ashly did a great job following all of our care instructions. Butter had a great time playing with Ashly’s dog and definitely needed a bath from all the fun after we picked her up! Would definitely use Ashly’s services again. Thank you so much!”
16. Briana M.
“As usual Briana was awesome! I think Kahlo may even have more fun there then she does at home. She gets so much love at Briana’s and is always happy to see her. She also made us another cute piece of puppy art!”
17. Ashley G.
“We hit the jackpot with Ashley and her family- both human and furry! We left our quirky little guy, Dewey, with her for over a week. He can be anxious around new people and in new places. He was so comfortable with Ashley and loved her yard. They loved on him and let him be his quirky self. We will definitely be repeat clients of Ashley’s any time we need a place for Dewey to stay.”
18. Shaelea R.
“Happy doggos! Loved that house was clean and organized and kids played with the dogs. They got plenty of snuggles and great fenced in back yard. Thank you!”
19. Elizabeth W.
“I wish I could leave more than 5 stars. Liz is amazing with Rudy. She kept me updated about how he was doing with lots of photos and videos. I never once had to worry about my Rudy while I was busy with wedding stuff. She is my go to person to take care of Rudy when I’m in Des Moines.”
