“Ali was great. Very responsive to questions prior to the reservation, and flexible on drop off and pick up. Our dogs did great and didn’t seem to have any problems getting along with Ali’s pets.”
“My dog warmed up to Autumn right away, and Autumn excitedly welcomed her into her home. She took her on long walks even when the weather was not very nice. She kept in contact with me throughout the day to keep me posted on how my dog was doing. They became good buddies.”
“Amazing! My sweet Golden loved spending time with Patricia and the other dog she was caring for. It worked out so well. She is particular, asks great questions, very accommodating, shared fun updates and photos with me and my kiddos (who were missing their buddy). I didn't have to worry for a moment that Hope was in good hands! Thank you so much! See you next time!”
About: My husband and I have 8 Huskies that we have rescued. I have a ton of patience and lots of love. Your dog will be considered as part of our pack. I will be the one taking care of your baby. I work at a hospital 4 days a week. Our dogs are kenneled for their safety while I'm at work. They are fed twice a day (morning and night) and walked 2 miles a day We do not have a fenced in yard, but we do have tie outs so your dog will be safe. They are allowed on the furniture and we have a full basket of bones and toys to share.
“Carmen was great. She's a very sweet and caring person. She has a beautiful place out in the country. And I needed a place for my pomeranian to stay at the last minute for a long weekend and she was willing to take him.”
“Stewart was able to accommodate us last minute for a few hours of doggie daycare while we met up with old high school friends in Ottuma. Stewart and his dog, Sophie were both great. Stewart sent pictures and had a large fenced back yard and a lot of toys for Maddie to play with. Callie felt at home and cuddles on Stewart with Sophie while Maddie napped among the toys LOL. THANK YOU Stewart for making us feel comfortable and taking great care of our babies.”
“Joanne and her family were awesome taking care of our spoiled dog during our recent extended trip. We were lucky to find them as our dog does not fare well in the typical kennel situation. Joanne was extremely patient dealing with our dog's anxiety. She sent us periodic photos during our trip which was nice. We highly recommend Joanne's family. ”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Oskaloosa
“I have a tiny 7lb dog named Poppy that Jessica introduced to all the other daycare dogs (big and small) with ease right in front of me. It made me feel so comfortable. She sent me pics and videos of Poppy throughout the day as she was rotating between playing, napping and basking in the sun. I would definitely recommend Jessica. In fact, I’ve already scheduled my next daycare drop off for next week!”

“Stewart responded to our request the evening before we had a golf scramble and needed someone to watch our 90 lb Bernedoodle. His little Sofie kept Reuben occupied and we felt comfortable knowing Stewart had a fenced in backyard for him to exercise.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats, horses for over 40 years I love all types of animals. In addition I have a variety of wildlife I feed all year long. I’m home all-day long so, lots of time to love on your animals while you are away. We can go on walks then nap on the couch. I live in the country so lots of room for them to play, or have time to hangout at your familiar home with them as needed.

“Booked for dog walking and I am confident my dog also gives her 5 stars. My dog loved Ali immediately, first sight. Ali is attentive to her and clearly skilled with her. My dog is intelligent and PARTICULAR about leaving me. Notoriously bad at taking commands from strangers. When Ali arrived for just the second walk, my dog was loving her and ready to head out at the first sight of her. And my dog gets long walks every day the weather allows, so walking alone is not the draw here. Ali communicates beautifully with me as an owner, does great follow-up when she returns from the walk, and clearly loves what she does. No complaints in my house. I don't generally leave my dog care to anyone else, but Ali”
About: Ever since I was a little girl I have always loved being around dogs. I have grown up around many dogs my family owned and learned how to properly take care of a dog from a young age. My high school job was working at a doggy daycare facility and thats when I blossomed. It was a job I was excited to attendant and fell in love with many of the dogs there. I am very patient with dogs and will give them all of the attention they need. I would be a great fit for your dog because I will love the dog just as much as you do! At the moment I only work 3 days a week. This benefit's me because the other 4 days off I am free and more than happy to take care of your dog. I have flexible scheduling on my days off and can even set up a weekly schedule if needed. I live in a very loving home. It will just be me taking care of your dog so you wouldn’t have to worry about any strangers being around. I have a very big yard to be able to play fetch with your dog and a very nice neighborhood to take your dog on walks. I am more than willing to travel to your own home to take care of your dog as well and any needs that come along with it.

About: I understand that hiring a pet sitter is a matter of trust. That's why I offer more than just a service—I offer peace of mind. As a longtime pet owner, I've navigated every pet-related situation imaginable, and my experience gives me a calm and capable approach to handling unexpected issues. When you leave your pets with me, you can relax, knowing their well-being is my top priority and that I will care for them with the same love, respect, and meticulous attention to detail I provide my own pets. My flexible schedule allows me to be highly adaptable to your needs. If your work hours change, you need a last-minute sitter, or your pet requires special timing for meals and walks, I can accommodate it. I am able to provide reliable and consistent care during all hours of the day, ensuring your pet's routine is never disrupted. My personal pets are my family, and I provide them with nothing but the best. You can rest assured that your pet will be treated with the same boundless love and attention that I give to my own "fur babies."
About: Spending time and interacting with animals has always been a passion of mine. Over the years I helped my grandma run her dog sitting service, taking the dogs for walks and cleaning up the kennels. I also enjoy being outside and taking my own dog for long walks and fun trips to the dog park. My dog is a family member and I intend on treating yours the same way. Your dog will have a great time exploring the city and playing with others at the dog park. I hope to someday have my own place where I can board dogs just like grandma did!!! I spend 90% of my time with dogs and we enjoy playing with other pups at the dog parks, we are traveling nomads and look forward to meeting you My dogs live in my van with me Both are crate trained. I feed my dogs twice a day. They enjoy laying around the house being lazy. Going to the dog park to play with others is always fun too!!! We also enjoy walking

About: I've always had pets growing up. I currently have 2 dogs of my own, one female and one male. The female is 40 lbs and the male is 10lbs. I currently work a full time job so I'm only available on nights and boarding on weekends. But I'm usually always home when I'm not working. I have outdoor tie ups so your dogs can still get exercise. I will be fencing in part of the yard eventually. The 2 dogs I have are high energy and will play with any animal. I do have crates if they need to be crated.
