“Bailey is the best. I had some changes to my plans, and she really went above and beyond to make sure my puppies were taken care of. She is my #1 preferred puppy sitter.”

“This was our dog's first boarding experience and we are so grateful to have found Nicole! Our pup needed more time to warm up to the stay than I might have guessed, but Nicole and her family are experienced dog owners and let her settle in on her own terms. She got lots of love during her stay and Nicole sent us several much appreciated updates throughout. Highly recommend!”

“Our dogs has a great weekend with Steve and Tillie! They came home happy exhausted and had so much fun. We know they got lots of love and attention from the whole family. We appreciated the meet and greet beforehand and the pictures during their stay. We hope to return again !”

“Another wonderful stay with Sheryl! Ollie got loads of attention and the best possible care. Sheryl is a great communicator, both with photos and texts. She goes above and beyond to make sure Ollie is happy. I would highly recommend her!”

“Took great care of our boys and provided updates often!”

“Communication was great with Kelly, from scheduling the initial meeting and throughout the duration of Maggi's stay. Lots of pictures and updates. Maggi had lots of fun with her dog and family. I'm a little worried that Maggi was actually sad to come home. Highly recommend Kelly's sitting services and will definitely seek her out in the future.”

“Super clean and comfortable space! No odor of dog hitting you when you walk in the door. Personalized attention for your pets! Our dog was safe and cozy during her stay - we plan to use him exclusively!”

“Tiffany was flexible, communicative, and knowledgeable. I appreciated her willingness to take in my giant breed dog last minute and would highly recommend her to other people.”

“Jordan was great about sending updates and photos of my dog, Hendrix, while on his stay. Hendrix is a high energy dog and really enjoyed playing with Jordan’s dogs.”

“Avery was great with my dog. She made sure he was comfortable in her home and took him for plenty of walks to help with his nervousness. She was also happy to meet prior to the boarding to help my dog get accustom to the environment, which I really appreciated. Overall I would feel very comfortable leaving my dog with her again.”

“Had a great experience boarding with Emma! Pups were so happy and she provided periodic updates. Would definitely board with her again and recommend to others!”

About: I have taken care of furry friends of neighbors, friends and family for about 10 years. I just recently moved to Iowa from New York after just graduating with my animal science degree from Cornell University and worked in a veterinary clinic for the last three years before moving! Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions! Hi! For house sitting: I prefer NOT to stay at your house at night but am happy to hang out with your pets throughout the day. However, here is my schedule for most of my clients: feed/play/take out around 6-7am, let them out between noon-1pm, feed/play/take out around 5-6pm, and let them out between 9-10pm again. Although this is the scheduled I follow, I would love to know your schedule with your pets and will try to accommodate them as best as I can! For Boarding: Your pup(s) will join into my family and interact with my two friendly dogs. There is a bell on the door so they can ring it to go out (if trained to do so). I hike almost everyday with my own dogs and typically take any dog that is boarding with me along. I also have a large fenced in back yard for the dogs to play all day! My dogs are rarely left alone but when they are, they are crated and I ask that dogs staying with me are also crate trained. All dogs that I board are introduced slowly to my own personal dogs and are closely watched until I feel it is safe for them all to be together. Please let me know if your dog has any type of food/toy aggression before hand so I can accommodate! Drop Off/Pick up is between 6:30-7:30am and 6-8pm the day of. Please reach out with any questions! For drop-ins/house sitting: I am happy to keep your pets on their schedule as best as I can weather that be keeping them in a crate during the day/at night or letting them roam free in the house, ect. I am willing to do anything that keeps your pets happy and stress free while you are away including walks, hikes, playing fetch, or just hanging out on the couch! PLEASE READ THE SCHEDULE THAT I FOLLOW IN THE TYPICAL DAY SECTION! For Boarding: I have two of my own dogs that are friendly so your dog will just become a part of my small pack while you are away. I hike almost everyday with my own dogs and typically take any dog that is boarding with me along. My dogs are rarely left alone but when they are, they are crated and I ask that dogs staying with me are also crate trained. All dogs that I board are introduced slowly to my own personal dogs and are closely watched until I feel it is safe for them all to be together. Please let me know if your dog has any type of food/toy aggression before hand so I can accommodate!

“Mallory did a great job looking after Eris. She was very accommodating with times and dates. She sent a ton of pictures and videos and was very responsive if I had a question.”

“Gina was the perfect person to leave our dog with! She sent updates and some pictures throughout his stay! She has a beautiful back yard that he could run around in, and she even took him for walks! Even though he was happy to see us and come home, I think he loved being spoiled with attention all weekend! Highly recommend Gina to anyone, and we will definitely use her again!!!”

About: I’ve fostered and have cared for multiple dogs while dog sitting for multiple people when they go on vacation! I will make sure your pup has the best of care. Many people have relied on me to walk, feed, & care for their pets! I’m a D1 softball player at Iowa State who has a lot of free time since I am on summer vacation! I am very flexible and can adjust to your schedule! I love taking dogs on walks! I am home majority of the day so I have a lot of free time to give your doggies the attention and love they need!

“Hailey did a great job with our dog! She kept us updated on everything she did with our dog over the weekend and it sounds like they had lots of fun. She did a great job following through with our preferences for walks and our dog seemed well taken care of when we picked him up. She was also flexible and accommodating of our drop off & pick up times.”

“Sam has been great for Hero this summer. Work has taken me away from Iowa for the last couple months and Sam has taken in my little pup when my parents needed to be out of town for a few days at different points. Hero has medication and can be finicky about eating, but Sam handled her care so well and I never felt any worry after meeting her and her husband. Great home environment and lots of pictures. I will definitely reach out again in the future.”

“They were amazing with Bingley and were super responsive and communicated very timely! I would recommend to anyone their service, will be coming back to them for my future dog sitting needs ?”

“This was my first time using Rover so I was little nervous. However, Alex and his girlfriend were SO nice and helpful! They responded very quickly when I texted them and they were sure to send me pictures. I even asked them very last minute to keep my dog another night and they were more than willing to. I loved that they have a fenced in back yard too. Definitely would recommend them!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Chloe. She did day care for our 10 year old Vizsla, Penny. We had to adjust our schedule a bit and Chloe was so accommodating and flexible. Penny seemed to enjoy her stay and wasn't stressed or anxious about being separated from us. Chloe sent an update and photo so we knew Penny was doing well. We're fortunate to have connected with Chloe and will schedule with her again. Highly recommend!”
