We are already considering booking again for our next trip!”

“Melissa‘s kindness, sincerity, and genuine warmth shine through from the moment you meet her. Her home has that same welcoming energy –comfortable safe and full of thoughtful touches. The meat-and-greet Melissa offered before the stay was generous and reassuring, and Copper, her pup, was the perfect host - basically the mayor of hospitality town! He welcomed Peanut like an old friend and immediately showed her around. Melissa was flexible, thoughtful, and attentive, and she sent photos and videos throughout Peanut’s stay that absolutely made my day. Peanut came home ready for a nap, content, and clearly well-cared for - the Holy Trinity of a perfect pup vacation! Copper even taught Peanut how to go down the stairs, which definitely deserves its own merit badge. I am grateful for people like Melissa who create a safe, honest, and welcoming space for visiting pups. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, trustworthy, and genuinely caring home for their dog. You almost want to ask if she offers human boarding too. Melissa is agem – five stars, many tail wags, and a standing ovation from Peanut.”

We could see along the way that they didn't just do the basics for care, but also interacted with them as if they were there own pets. It was a great experience and we had no worries whatsoever.”

About: Hi! My name is Melissa and I'm so happy to be here! I have 15 years of experience caring for and walking my own dogs, and sitting for friends and family. I know the importance of getting some exercise in for your fur friend, and how challenging it can be to find the time some days! So I am here to help, let me take care of that task for you! I enjoy walking and being outdoors and I'd love to have your pup accompany me! I also own my own home with a fully fenced in backyard, and I work full time from home, so if you need boarding or daycare services, my home would be great for you! I have two pups of my own that absolutely love other dogs, so if you are ok with that, we'd love to care for and keep your pup with us, too! I work from home full time, so it’s easy to attend to my pups (and yours!) during the workday. I can make a lunch hour walk or drop work easily. And afternoons and evenings are pretty open! I have a fully fenced in yard and I am able to let my dogs out as often as they need, and they would be perfect companions for your pups when staying here as well

About: I work remotely so I’m home most of the day☺️ This allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, care, and supervision throughout the day! My husband and I are both dog lovers and have a dog of our own, Carter, a 9 y.o. black lab/blue heeler mix. She’s very friendly, easygoing, and gets along great with other dogs🐶 We don’t have kids, so our home is calm and quiet, and the dogs get lots of attention🥰 They’re welcome on the furniture if that’s what they’re used to at home, and we have a large fenced yard where they can safely run and play. We also live in a safe, dog-friendly neighborhood that’s perfect for regular walks! I’ll treat your pup like part of the family and do my BEST to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re here🥰 Feel free to reach out with any questions about availability or how boarding/daycare works, I’m always happy to help!☺️ Because I work remotely, I’m home most of the day and able to give dogs lots of attention🥰 Walks and outdoor time are already a regular part of my day, so caring for dogs fits naturally into my routine I only take up to 2 dogs per day to keep things calm, comfortable, and low-stress for everyone. I treat every dog like family and work from home, so they get plenty of attention and supervision! My home is clean, pet-friendly, with a large fenced yard for safe playtime, and I always follow each dog’s routine to help them feel at ease🙂

“Anna and her family are great! We used her daycare services while we had some work being done at our house and she was super flexible when we needed to adjust days last minute. Anna takes such good care of our pup, I highly recommend her!”

Meredith J.

“Took really amazing care of my pup! He seemed so happy!!”

Marisa G.

About: I grew up with pets and love and respect them very much. We can learn a lot from them. I would love to make your pet feel safe. I work from home so your pet will always be with me and I like to give them a lot of attention. My schedule is very flexible. I make sure that your pet feels at home. I will follow your instructions to make your pet feel at home and I always hace extra snacks.

“Oliver loved being at Lauren and Corey’s house. They took great care of him and made our first experience with Rover wonderful. We will definitely be contacting them again when we need care for him in the future.”

Cathi W.

About: Hi everyone - I was a mom to older English Bulldogs who have recently passed and understand the need for a sitter at times. I used to use a dog sitter myself during the day and understand how hard it can be to get home sometimes! Now that my doggos are no longer with me, I would love to help you out. I work from home so can accept daycare or overnight boarding at my place. I live in a safe neighborhood and have a fenced in backyard for all of the potty breaks and I can also bring them on short walks if requested. I live in a zero-entry, one-level home with no steps which is great for pets with bad joints.

“Thank you Nyree, my Inosuke was so happy and comfortable in your home my son said Inosuke cried because he had to go home. You help me reduced my anxiety especially since this was his first day care. I appreciate you so much, highly recommend and will use again.”

About: Hi! I’m Chelsey — an interior designer by day with a lifelong soft spot for animals. If I hadn’t found my calling in design, I truly believe I would have pursued veterinary medicine. Animals have always been part of my world. I grew up around both cats and dogs and have over 15 years of experience pet-sitting for friends, family, and clients. My home is a very calm, grounded space, so I’m best suited for low to moderate-energy pets who enjoy a slower pace, gentle walks, and lots of presence. My puppy Nova plays well with other dogs and I'd love to have friends over for her during the day as I work from home with a close eye! Spending time with animals feels genuinely nourishing to me, and caring for yours would be something I do with a lot of intention and love. Because my home has carpet and an Airbnb guest suite above me, I’m best matched with pets who are past the puppy stage to teach mine good manners lol, are house-trained, and not prone to frequent barking — especially in response to normal household sounds like people walking. Creating a peaceful environment is important to me and helps pets feel relaxed and secure while they’re here. I enjoy walking in all seasons, maintaining consistent routines, and creating a space where animals feel safe, calm, and cared for. While you’re away, you can rest easy knowing your pet will be treated as if they’re my own. Caring for your animal would truly be my pleasure 🤍 — Chelsey Aside from Mondays being 9-hour days at work, I am home the majority of the week which is perfect for walks, attentiveness and allowing potty breaks in my fenced backyard. For boarding and daycare, I provide a calm, consistent routine so pets feel safe and settled. I follow your pet’s normal feeding schedule while offering plenty of companionship, gentle movement, and rest. My home is best suited for low to moderate-energy pets, and I adjust activities based on their needs to keep them comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for. :)

About: Growing up on a farm, I have had dogs, cats, and all kinds of livestock. Observing animal behavior is key in knowing that an animal is happy and comfortable in their environment. I also have an animal science degree that has given me more insight to general health and diet. I work here on our farm. So my schedule is very flexible and can be adjusted to your pets routine and care. Going for walks or getting outdoors is an easy activity living on an acreage. We have multiple dog beds and allow pets on the furniture. We also have crates available if your pet needs some quiet time or if that is something they are used to.

“Madison was incredible. She helped us out last minute and was incredibly flexible and very easy to communicate with. Our dog absolutely loved her. We will definitely be booking with her again!”

Nara T.

About: I have trained and owned animals my whole life. I graduated with a veterinary assistant degree from western Iowa tech in Sioux city Iowa. Animals are my world and I love working and hanging out with them daily. I own a dog and 2 cats and love to cuddle them and train them so they can become and live their best life possible. I can give all my animals baths, exercise, positive reinforcement and love anytime they need it. I have a huge back yard and love to play with them outside too.

“Very helpful and accommodating (even when our dog wasn’t!). Highly recommend Samantha!”
