1. Patricia T.

“Amazing! My sweet Golden loved spending time with Patricia and the other dog she was caring for. It worked out so well. She is particular, asks great questions, very accommodating, shared fun updates and photos with me and my kiddos (who were missing their buddy). I didn't have to worry for a moment that Hope was in good hands! Thank you so much! See you next time!”


2. Carmen M.

“Carmen was great. She's a very sweet and caring person. She has a beautiful place out in the country. And I needed a place for my pomeranian to stay at the last minute for a long weekend and she was willing to take him.”




3. Julie P.

“Julie was great. She watched Loki while we were out of town for Thanksgiving - when we picked him up he was happy and looked like he had a great time. Would definitely have Julie watch him again.”


4. Summer B.
“I could not recommend Summer enough as a pet sitter and person! She watches my kids and my dogs for me... and occasionally my cat! Summer has been my go-to pet sitter ever since she was in high school, and now I use her services when she is back in her hometown for the summer or breaks! She makes my two dogs feel loved and comfortable, and I completely trust her to stay in my house whenever I leave. Bonus--Summer cleans my house before I come back, too! She is a great person and a great dog sitter! Both of my dogs get excited when I merely say her name, and they both go crazy whenever she stops over!”


5. Ali L.

“Ali was great. Very responsive to questions prior to the reservation, and flexible on drop off and pick up. Our dogs did great and didn’t seem to have any problems getting along with Ali’s pets.”


6. Jessica A.

“Jessica was wonderful. This was our first time boarding our 4 yr old lab. She took pics each day, walks, and allowed our dog to be a part of their family. My girl came home happy and healthy.”


7. Joanne C.

“We've been looking for someone to watch our two dogs when we travel out of town for quite a while now, and are so excited to have found Joanne! Our dogs enjoyed their time with her and came home relaxed and tuckered out. Joanne was easy to communicate with and stayed in touch with us while our dogs were with her- even sending us a picture. We look forward to bringing our dogs to Joanne regularly in the future!”


8. Braydon R.
About: I've always had pets growing up. I currently have 2 dogs of my own, one female and one male. The female is 40 lbs and the male is 10lbs. I currently work a full time job so I'm only available on nights and boarding on weekends. But I'm usually always home when I'm not working. I have outdoor tie ups so your dogs can still get exercise. I will be fencing in part of the yard eventually. The 2 dogs I have are high energy and will play with any animal. I do have crates if they need to be crated.

“Hannah is always great with my Lab Bailey. She is willing to help when I’m out of town; feeding or letting out. Bailey looks forward to play dates with her pups and enjoys going over there where it’s welcoming and fun!”


10. Brandon P.

“Brandon takes the BEST care of our active dog! He gives lots of walks and is attentive to our pup’s sensitivities to certain stimuli. Our dog loves to go to Brandon’s!”


11. Ashlee S.
About: I’ve had dozens of people rely on me in the past to care for their dogs - walking, dog park, baths, feed - I’ll do it all! I currently work full time from the comfort of my home with my 6 little loves. I’m available mornings & evenings for drop ins but can do mid day as well! My go-to is taking pups to the dog park whether that’s alone or with friends to let them explore and have fun! We enjoy the outdoors so our pups love hiking, swimming, and playing fetch!!


12. Tessa S.
About: I’ve always been an animal lover. I have 5 dogs and 2 cats of my own. I’ve grown up around animals all my life and I know it can be hard sometime to watch them so that’s why chose to help you out. I want you be comfortable leaving your pet with someone that will love them as much as you do. I currently do daycare for two kids so I am at home majority of the day so I am willing to watch your pet during the day or even at night if that is what’s needed I have 2 acres of fenced in pastures and access to indoors. I have a mix of inside and outside dogs. At night they all come inside though.


13. Terri H.
“Terri will be an excellent caregiver for pets. She is empathetic and loving to all animals, but has a special bond with rescue dogs. She has two at present. Terri has the financial means to care for as many as she chooses and will not hesitate to supply their needs.”


14. Maria K.
“Maria has a strong love for animals and years of experience with cats, dogs, guinea pigs and hamsters. Maria is kind, responsible, dependable and trustworthy. Her experience working at both a doggy daycare and volunteering at the Iowa City animal shelter for a year each solidified her skills. She also has solid experience house training both a kitten and puppy with excellent results. Maria can read the room, kennel, or cat tree and take excellent care of your pet. I wouldn't think twice about leaving my beloved pet with Maria. Have and will again!”
