“Ming and Makenna were amazing. Teddy had a wonderful time. We got daily photo updates along with an occasional video update. Teddy was well cared-for and we will definitely use Ming and Makenna again in the future.”
“Andrea was a pleasure to work with. She took great care of our pups. I look forward to working with her again and would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to watch their fur babies.”
“So happy to have left our pup with Tiffany and her family! He made himself at home and had a much better time than at a boarding kennel. Will absolutely rebook again!”
“We have used Myle several times now to watch our dog Frankie and are very pleased. Frankie fits right in with her home environment and gets along well with her dogs. She spends a lot of time playing tug and fetch with him and takes him out for many walks. Frankie is well cared for and Myle posts lots of pictures of him to keep our mind at ease. We highly recommend Myle!!!”
“this was my first time using rover. Beckett watched my mom’s dogs with little notice and cared for them for 5 days while my mom was in the hospital. The dogs came home happy and worn out!! Absolutely will be using again for my own dogs!!”
“Travis and Danielle were awesome! We instantly felt comfortable leaving our pups (2 medium sized dogs) when we met them the first time. They updated us with lots of pics of them playing and hanging out with the pups. We will definitely be reaching out to them again in the future.”
About: Dogs are my favorite thing in this world. My personal mission is to meet all of them :) I’ve loved dogs since I was a kid and even cut out dogs from a magazine and stuck them all over my wall as a kid. I volunteer at a dog shelter, I foster dogs, and have had dogs of my own. I have had experience with dogs of all sizes. I love adding dogs into my routine! We can go for walks, cars rides, play fetch, or whatever! I’m pretty laid back and we have small children in the home who also love dogs. I have a fenced in yard and we will frequently go for walks. I like to be outside and in nature so we can also just hang out in the back yard if walks aren't your dog's thing :)
“Shannon and her family were so amazing with our pups! We got daily updates with pictures of them enjoying their time away from home. Definitely would recommend for anyone and will return the next time we someone to watch our pups!”
“Ashleigh was absolutely amazing with my 2 dogs!!! She kept me up to date all of the time to let me know how they were doing. She also sent me pictures all of the time of what they were doing and what they did during the day. She was also very flexible due to a family emergency that came up while I was on vacation out of the country. I would 100% recommend her to anyone who needs someone to care for their dogs and not have to worry while you're away from them and I will be booking with her again in the future!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“Nathan was amazing. Communication was wonderful. I could tell from photos that Wrigley was having a great time. Wrigley is skittish with new people, which concerned me. He warmed up pretty well at meet and greet. Not to the point he would let Nathan pet him, but he didn’t bark or growl at him. To me that was perfect. Nathan was patient and kind. I would recommend him to anyone in our area.”
“Paul was awesome! My doggies had a great time and I know they were well cared for. Winnie was so tired at pick up, so I know she played a lot with his little dog which gave Ellie some time to relax. Appreciated the update during the stay to make sure all was well! Thank you Paul! Especially with a short notice weekend stay for two doggies. Thank you!”
“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!”
“I left Kota with her for the day while at work and she kept me updated and made sure to give him attention. I got picture and video updates while at work and had an easy drop-off and pick-up. Would definitely recommend her and go back to her in the future!”
“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. :)”
“I was nervous using Rover as it was our first time. Aimee watched my dog for 9 nights and she and her family did an amazing job looking after our dog, including walks and playtime. I highly recommend Aimee as she is a caring and compassionate provider.”
“She was so great with our shih-tzu! Our dog has a bit of anxiety when not with me (honestly, I do too!) but Anne was so patient and willing to work with her to make her comfortable. Highly recommend!”
