I couldn’t have asked for a better person to look after my dog! She was incredibly caring, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure my pup was happy and comfortable. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos — it was clear she truly enjoyed spending time with my dog and treated her like her own. My dog came back happy, well-exercised, and full of love. I’d 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter!

Tam and her partner were exactly who you'd want to leave your fur baby with, and in my case, totally saved the day with a last minute booking. They were friendly, extremely responsive and from the pictures, my picky chihuahua had a great time. Would def book again!

Kevin watched our pug for six nights while we were in Hawaii and kept us updated with photos and fun stories. He made us feel super comfortable, leaving our furry family member. Kevin‘s dog Ricky is a big bonus. He’s a fun little guy and Sushi loved having a friend for the week. Can’t wait to book with Kevin again in the future highly recommend.!

Ginny was amazing with Tiny!! When I picked Tiny up she wasn’t smelly at all. Sometimes little dogs are stinky at pick up- not today! I loved the whole set up at Ginny’s house. I wasn’t worried one bit. I need to leave town more often so Tiny can go see her new friends.

If Pluto has to be away from home -it’s with Scott I can’t think of anyone else. It’s second time that Pluto is staying with scott. He shares pictures everyday and keeps me posted how Pluto is doing. Thanks!! Scott for being flexible with my short notice and taking good care of Pluto.

Cliff did absolutely amazing with my dog while my husband and I were on a long vacation. I haven't boarded her anywhere in the past, she has always stayed at home and we had a dog sitter come in. Cliff was so attentive to our dog, gave her lots of attention and sent us pictures and videos. I would highly recommend him to look after your dog. He is always very responsive and my dog absolutely loved hanging out with Cliff and his dog and any other clients he had while we traveled. Excellent dog sitter!!

We came to Iowa for a wedding. Cory took good care of our 2 senior dogs (labs). One has separation anxiety that he was able to comfort and the other took a nap on his bed. He walked and fed them.

I had to travel halfway across the world for over two weeks without my anxious little Emma. Christy and Erkam did such a great job dealing with Emma - keeping her calm, going out for walks, and giving her medicine. They gave me frequent updates and immediately reached out whenever they have questions and concerns. Really appreciate the love and attention they showered Emma with. Highly recommend Christy and Erkam!

Wouldn't hesitate to have Lucia watch her again for us. Thanks for watching her for us and treating her like a member of your own pack, Lucia!
