Pet care experience

We love caring for Dogs!!

I've taken care of dogs my whole life. I have helped friends and family take care of their dogs while they are out of town. My family loves dogs and taking care of them. I have two daughters who love to play and walk dogs. I'm currently working full time. I usually get off work after 3 and have most evening free. I'm available for boarding for weekdays and weekends. I have a medium size yard and have a fence on two sides. We have a dog park within walking distance. I have two daughters ages 20 and 18 who love to walk and play with dogs. I also have a very wonderful husband who loves dogs, we do not have dogs because of myself. I am allergic to them, I love to watch other people's dogs to get my fix. I will always be with my children when and if they are helping take care of your pets.

We are so thankful for the care our Eliza received from Micki and her family. The pictures showed she was relaxing like her normal self which is the best thing we could've asked for. We will definitely book again when we need care near Iowa City.

Excellent experience time and time again. I received plenty of updates and pictures. I even ran into an issue with my flights and micki was flexible and accommodating with the pick up times. Don’t think twice about booking, your babies will be in excellent hands !

Micki and her family are the best of the best. We had one bad Rover experience and they topped it by 200%. They watched both our dogs for 8 days and there wasn't one day that went by, without a photo and update. One of our dogs is diabetic with other medical issues and they immediately contacted us with an issue. We will be 100% returning customers!

Schedule

I currently work full-time. My family and myself assist in taking care of these amazing dogs. We work well with us have different schedules so the dogs are only alone for a few hours.

Safety, trust & environment

We can crate dogs of all sizes. We do not have a fenced in back yard. We do go outside with your dogs either on a leash or on a tie out. We have fun playing with dogs in the backyard with catch or tug of war. Those seem to be the most played games.

A typical day

We love to stimulate dogs physically and mentally. We'll play a bunch of games and check out all the new smells in our neighborhood. We love to explore the park near our home.

Let me know if your dog(s) have any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. I can be very accommodating with many dogs.
