Elizabeth kept us updated the entire time she had him with multiple messages and pictures which was great to see while we were away. I will definitely use Elizabeth again for boarding and she made it super easy with pick up and drop off as well! Definitely a convenient option for us with 4 kids! Thanks again, Elizabeth

Jenevieve was so wonderful to work with! She wanted all the info to make sure was fully prepared to take care of our Phil and super patient with all my questions! I literally could not have asked for a better first Rover experience! Jenevieve did have other bookings that were her regulars, but to make things more comfortable for our pooch, she had us come a little early so he could see that all was good, and he could get familiar before more friends came to play. I got lots of pictures of Phil having lots of fun and getting lots of snuggles. He truly made himself at home and that made us so happy! I appreciate how accommodating and thoughtful Jenevieve was throughout the whole processes and that made our visit to DSM really stress-free because I didn't have to worry about our little buddy at all! Thank you, Jenevieve!!! If we ever come back to Des Moines, you will be the first person we look up!

Cory took great care of our dog while we were away. Our dog can have periods of anxiety and does not do well with other animals, he was able to handle her behaviors without a problem. He sent us regular updates and kept her active all weekend. She was happy and worn out when we picked her up. We would definitely recommend and plan to use him again for future trips!

About: I have spent my entire life around animals, especially larger, older dogs. I am home full time while classes are online and am very flexible with sitting times. I am currently taking classes online for the summer, so I have plenty of time to take care of your furry friends! I tend to be busier on the weekends but if you give enough time in advance I am pretty flexible. I live in an apartment complex, and don't have a yard, so animals will have to be leashed when outside. I do not have a lot of space, so smaller animals are preferred, especially for longer stays.

I had to travel halfway across the world for over two weeks without my anxious little Emma. Christy and Erkam did such a great job dealing with Emma - keeping her calm, going out for walks, and giving her medicine. They gave me frequent updates and immediately reached out whenever they have questions and concerns. Really appreciate the love and attention they showered Emma with. Highly recommend Christy and Erkam!

We hit the jackpot with Ashley and her family- both human and furry! We left our quirky little guy, Dewey, with her for over a week. He can be anxious around new people and in new places. He was so comfortable with Ashley and loved her yard. They loved on him and let him be his quirky self. We will definitely be repeat clients of Ashley’s any time we need a place for Dewey to stay.
