Jenevieve was a great sitter for our dogs. Leaving your little ones is very hard, but Jenevieve made everything so easy. I'll absolutely ask her again for our next trips and I highly recommend her great service. Thank you so much for watching Mila and Bruno.

Absolutely the best sitter I could have found. Spoiled my dog to the point he expects more from home now :). He has separation anxiety and she accommodated his every need and did everything to make him feel just like he is at home, she even let him sleep in her bed with her. I cannot recommend Casandra enough.

Kevin was incredibly responsive in scheduling a somewhat last-minute booking, shared photos of Monte throughout his stay and provided consistent updates, and treated Monte like his own. Will absolutrly be using Kevin again and would highly recommend him.

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!

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 have booked with Jessica a few times now and recommend her to anyone looking for top notch care for their pet. This most recent time I did not realize that my pup had a broken nail before dropping her off and Jessica saw it right away, took her to the vet, and went above and beyond to care for her during her week long stay. Also, my flight back to Des Moines was extremely delayed and Jessica was super accommodating and understanding. Jessica is incredibly responsive and I trust her completely with my dog Iommi. Whether you need a daycare stay or extended stay, Jessica is the person to book with. Thank you so much again Jessica!

Elizabeth was amazing! My dog Chewie stayed at her house for 6 days and he had so much fun. She kept me updated and sent me pictures every day. She's got a backyard so he was able to run around with all his new dog friends and get his energy out. I will definitely go to her again when we need to.

Amazing!! Samantha took great care of my dog and was always interested in learning more ways she could show him love while boarding him! Even though my dog tends to be shy and have a hard time warming up around new people, he LOVED spending time with her and her dogs. Every picture and video she sent was filled with lots of tail wags and smiles. Definitely would book with her 100 more times.

I dropped off a happy dog, and picked up an even happier one!! She gave my 80lb lab all the love he needed as if he was her own. Was super nervous about leaving my son with a stranger, but overall a great experience and would 100% do that again.

Amazing and very understanding family. They took care of Maxim very well and he likes playing well with his new friends. It seems our baby had a great time and we got all timely updates! Would definitely recommend this family for sure and we would definitely look forward to come back to Robbie for future. Thanks again!

After reading several stellar reviews, I decided to contact Maggie to schedule time for her to kitty-sit my cat, Pebbles. I wasn't quite sure of the time frame to reserve because I didn't know when exactly I would be returning home. Maggie assured me it would be no problem if I needed an extra day. I did, in fact, request an additional day because when I returned home, I was too tired to drive across town to pick up my cat. Maggie said it was fine which I really appreciated! Before I brought Pebbles to Maggie's, I informed her that I wasn't sure how well she would interact with other animals because there are no other pets in my home. Maggie said not to worry and that she has space to separate pets if needed. As anticipated, the next day, Maggie texted to inform me that Pebbles was a bit stressed and did not appreciate the other animals. She kept Pebbles away from the other pets to keep everyone safe and comfortable. Maggie was very good about texting updates and pictures of Pebbles throughout my trip. This was definately peace of mind for me. I have never used a pet sitter before. While on trips, I have either taken my pets to the vet, family, or friends have come to my house to care for them. I was very pleased with Maggie taking care of Pebbles and will definately use her again in the future! I highly recommend Maggie to take care of your pet(s)!

Cory and his family of pets really did well taking care of my puppy and when she got home she was tired and happy for twenty four hours straight. She seemed happy both at drop off and pick up times; a blessing for us indeed!
