“Millie seemed to have a great time with Ming and his pups. Very accomodating to our needs and times. Thanks again for watching her - I know she is a handful at times!!!”
“Travis and Danielle were awesome! We booked a little last minute, and had some slight changes to our pick-up times. Our senior pup was placed on meds earlier in the week and they were perfectly ok with his crazier med schedule. They uploaded photos of happy pups and kept us updated through the journey, were also very accommodating to making sure our dogs stayed where they felt most comfortable. I’m so grateful for finding them and would 10/10 recommend! Our dogs came home happy and tired.”
“I’m so thankful for Jena! She took such great care of my dog Hank. She was very patient with his ‘puppyness’. When we picked him up he was happy and tired. It makes me feel good that Hank has a safe place to stay while we are away. I will definitely book with Jena again.”
“The stay was excellent. Great home and sitters. We were a bit concerned that our older and sometimes grumpy dog wouldn't get along with their dog Ivy. But Ivy was so relaxed and chill that it made the stay even better than we expected.”
“Steve was fantastic for Danny Boy! Several updates with photos each day and very conscious of Danny’s needs. Prompt replies to texts and questions. Daily walks at nearby parks and evening fetch in the yard. Steve’s home is well-suited for hosting animals and Danny was very comfortable. I picked up a healthy and happy boy on the final day!”
“Tiffany and family were great with my old pup. They made him feel part of the family while we were gone and were responsive with communication. They were flexible with pick up time when our flight was delayed.”
“This was the first time boarding Lucy. Ann and her family adopted Lucy. They were the best and way more than I could have asked for. They treated Lucy so good I was not sure she would want come home. The photo updates were fantastic. If Ann and family will take her again we will be back. 10 stars in our opinion Thanks Ann and family. Jerry and Marijo”
“5 stars! Aimee cared for my dog for 5 days while I was out of town. She took good care of my dog and made sure all of his needs were met. I received updates with pictures and could tell my dog was happy and taken care of. I will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Deb took such wonderful care of our puppy! She was only 13 weeks when we had to leave her for 2 nights, and she went above and beyond helping her adjust! She listens and cares how we are training her, does the same things, tries some of her own stuff, and just loves on Luna. I couldn't ask for a more caring sitter and Luna will be back. She got undivided attention, and training..I couldn't ask for a better place for her. She sent videos and photos the whole stay! And responded whenever I checked in with her. Thank you for loving Luna.”
“Jessica and her husband are AMAZING! They took such good care of our two boys as if they were their own. Our dogs are high energy and can be a lot to handle but they felt right at home from the start. We received photos and updates everyday that made us feel like they were in extra good hands. Thank you so much ♥️”
“Nova had a great stay with Nathan! His responses were incredibly prompt. He was accommodated a last minute request to watch our dog for a week. His communication was fantastic and we had no concerns leaving our dog with him while we were gone. Will definitely use again!”
“Ashleigh was so so caring and conscientious in her care of our slightly grumpy and annoyed older dog! Definitely the best possible care out there! We will definitely be back. :)”
“They took wonderful care of my new puppy and senior dog that is fearful of storms. My senior dog was given meds as instructed and I was told DL stayed up with him til midnight to comfort him during the storms. I so loved the pictures they sent.”
“Ashleigh’s level of care was amazing. She sent so many pictures while we were away and kept us informed often on how our dogs’ days were going. The way she described each of our dogs’ personalities and daily habits matched perfectly to how they are at home which reassured me that our dogs felt comfortable and at ease in her home. Will absolutely be using Ashleigh again without hesitation.”
About: I’ve been taking care of my dog since I was 7 years old. Recently I started taking care of my neighbor’s dog as well. They rely on me to walk and feed their dog when they go on vacation. I love spending time with dogs and cats!!!! I am currently on summer vacation so I am available any day of the week. This will change once school starts, then I will be available after 4pm. I have a fenced yard, one dog and one cat to keep your fur friend company. If needed I can keep them away from each other.
“Nadine was the perfect choice for boarding our sensitive pup Meera. I’m super picky about who I leave Meera with because she can be temperamental (either super chill or super anxious), but Nadine handled her like a pro and will be my top choice when we return to the Iowa area. She updated us with pictures, and I’ve never seen Meera look so comfortable in someone else’s home before. Nadine was able to handle Meera’s medication schedule, noise phobias, and odd eating habits. I have no reservations about leaving Meera with Nadine again, highly recommend!”
