“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!”

About: We are a 2 person team of Jaleah and Drew. We both grew up having dogs of many different sizes and can handle almost anything if communicated! We’d love to give your pet exercise, cuddles, or whatever they need! Drew wakes up around 5 am and will be able to take your pet out and when Jaleah wakes up around 7, they’ll go out again. Drew gets off work at 1 and will take them on a long walk. When Jaleah gets off work around 5, we usually go for another evening walk. We live in an apartment but are near many trails and even have access to a mini dog park. We are very responsible with pets. We will make sure they’re cared for and will follow any directions given to us. We have a variety of skills with dogs so there’s a good chance I can do whatever you need! We will treat your pets as if they were our own!

About: I’m a dog lover and have two corgis of my own who are both very friendly with other dogs and people. I’m used to caring for dogs every day, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of attention and cuddles. My dogs are social and welcoming, so your pup will have some friendly company while staying with me. I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and treated like part of the family while you’re away. I’m also happy to follow your dog’s normal routine and any special instructions you have! I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to give your pup attention, playtime, and care. I’m available for boarding on weekends and most weekdays after 5PM. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay. I have two friendly corgis, Sushi and Boba, who can provide companionship if your pup is comfortable around other dogs. I keep a close eye on all dogs during outdoor time and can crate or separate them when needed. I focus on providing a calm, clean, and safe home environment for your pup.

We are extemely pleased with our decision to book with Casandra. We are “first-timers” and we were gone for 9 nights. Casandra sent pictures and videos of our two boys every day, usually several times a day. They looked like they were having fun and not anxious at all. They looked right at home with Casandra. We will certainly be booking another visit with her! Thanks Casandra. Maverick and Goose send their love and snuggles.

Big thanks to Alexandra for taking such good care of my boy! She was able to accommodate a near last minute request when my prior arrangements fell through just a week before my vacation, and was very understanding when a delayed return flight out of Chicago meant an extra night of boarding. Thanks! Artoo can't wait to visit again.

Andrea took great care of our dachshund, Cari, while we were out of the country for two weeks. She was kind, responsive, and easy to communicate with throughout the process. She sent us updates and photos during Cari’s stay, which gave us peace of mind while we were away, and she was always quick to respond whenever we reached out. Cari came home calm, and all of her belongings were returned in great condition. We would definitely trust Andrea to care for Cari again and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter. Thank you again, Andrea!

Hannah was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond for our pups!!! She was so responsive, constantly checking in with us, sending us photos, and doing whatever needed to be done to help our pups feel at home. One of our dogs is a bit anxious and Hannah was so patient and sweet and made her feel so safe and comfortable. She knows exactly what she’s doing and it was so great to know our dogs were in good hands while we were gone. She was so great and I know our dogs were her top priority and I am just so thankful!! I cannot recommend Hannah enough, we will definitely be booking with her again the next time we go out of town.

Kevin is simply the best! We have known him for two years and he does a wonderful job every time. He is the type of person that all dogs love and can relax around. Kevin’s communication before, during, and after stays is awesome; I’m able to relax and know things are going well while we’re away. I’d recommend Kevin to anyone and everyone!
