“Lauren and Michael were amazing with my dog! They took very well care of Izzy and all her needs. I also appreciated the cute photos Lauren sent me of her. I would 100% book with them again.”
“Kyle took such good care of my baby Reba! Kyle had high communication with me regarding an ear infection that my pup was struggling with and even took her to the vet when she needed to be seen. My pup was at Kyle’s for over a week and had the happiest demeanor when I picked her up. It was clear to me that she was treated well and had a good time. I’ll definitely use Kyle again for Reba’s care.”
“My 4 1/2 year old pup had her first experience overnight other than with me. Right at the meet and greet I knew they were the perfect fit! They sent me pictures and videos while they had her but I was off the grid so didn’t get them right away. I didn’t worry about anything as I felt completely comfortable with them taking care of my girl. . I will have them watch my nakia many times to come. You could not ask for a more loving home to watch your puppy! Thanks Nicole and David for being so awesome!!”
“Lan, Lucy and family were wonderful with Mochi! Lan is a kind and experienced dog caregiver. We were gone for about a week. Mochi came home happy, tired, and clean! Thank you so very much.”
“We are so incredibly thankful for Sheryl. She went above and beyond taking care of Lenny. Our family was nervous to leave him with someone we didn’t know but we couldn’t have been happier. She sent many updates including photos and videos. It made us feel at ease knowing he was in such good hands. He went on lots of walks, got lots of snuggles, and even went on an adventure in the car. We will definitely leave Lenny with her the next time we come to Ames.”
“As a pet owner who is very attached to her dog, I can say that Reachel has been a wonderful sitter during Milo’s stay at her home. She truly cares about animals and their well being. I would trust her to care for our dog again without any second thought. She understands animals and their needs. I would not hesitate to recommend her as a pet sitter.”
“Susan did a wonderful job caring for our dog Rio. Rio stayed at Susan's home for a week while we were out of town. Rio was in mutiple foster homes before we adopted him and we were not sure how he would respond to being in another new home while we were on vacation. From the meet-and-greeet to allowing Rio stay with her for a half-day prior to our trip, Susan went above and beyond to ensure that we, and our dog, felt comfortable before leaving him for an extended period of time. We knew that Susan and Rio had made a positive connection when the first thing he did when he saw Susan after the meet-and-greet was to jump into her lap to request belly rubs. Susan was always responsive with her communication and ensured that we received photos, messages, and video clips each day we were on our trip. It was such a joy seeing our little guy running, playing, and hearing all about how he went on walks and got to snuggle with Susan in bed at night. It gave us so much peace of mind to know that Rio was in a safe, caring home with someone who truly loves caring for dogs.”

“Robert and his wife took excellent care of our dog Jasper over a long weekend. He sent daily updates, which was very appreciated. I can tell that Jasper settled in and felt comfortable there, and he came home relaxed and happy. Thanks!”
“Robert was the BEST Rover we have ever had!!! I cannot recommend him enough 😃 Our dog, Archie, had a great time staying with him and got lots of love, attention, and walkies 🐾 Robert sent such fun updates, pictures, and videos that we loved getting and made us smile so much while away from our little guy 🤍 We will definitely be booking with him anytime we need to board Archie again in the future. I would give him 10 stars if I could ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Katie was amazing! She kept us in the loop the whole time and had great communication. Even though our dog chewed the door frame a bit, Katie was very understanding and didn't blame our pup. She has 2 other dogs Wally and Daphne. She has a fenced in backyard. Our dog got along with them both. They are both older dogs and calm. Highly recommend Katie to anyone needing a sitter.”
