1. Jason W.
“Jason took great care of our dog. He woud sent multiple pics (30+ pics in a day!), and ensure that the daily routine was followed. He went above and beyond to ensure that things were going great while we were traveling. I’d definitely recommend Jason.”
2. Gina F.
“Gina is friendly and accommodating 😀. Her house is wonderful and very "puppy proof". There is space for the pups to play and a great selection of toys/bones. My dog made himself right at home during the meet & greet and didn't want to leave! 😅 She sent pictures/video during the stay. I also got sick during my trip and she was very kind to offer and drop Charlie off so I didn't have to drive there when I didn't feel good.”

About: I’ve been watching dogs for 15 years. I live in a large house with a spacious backyard that is also close to parks, for your dog to be in heaven while you are away. I am well-versed in handling dogs of all sizes and breeds, big and small, puppies to seniors and also dogs with special needs. Over the years, I have acquired experience administering medication if needed and contend to all sorts of situations should your dog require any special needs and attention. I love sending check-in pictures and videos and have even been known to make music video reels with your precious baby to make you feel connected when you’re away from your loved one. I also pride myself on being a great communicator and respond to all messages and calls immediately 24/7. I am home all day, so your dog will never be alone. I pride myself on combining this is a job and also a passion. I pride myself on adapting to your dog(s), whether it be a sleepy pug that wants to cuddle or an active boxer who loves to run, as I am an active person and will take them on many walks and runs even if needed. I offer all sorts of service: boarding, walking and even home sitting. When boarding, your dog will be in good hands at my house located in beautiful west side Iowa City location, in a modern home with central air-conditioning, heat for the cold winters and the spacious backyard for easy outdoor access.

“Lori was incredible from beginning to the end. She was flexible about drop off and about pick up. Unfortunately, I had gotten sick and she was accommodating about picking up Cookie a day later. She gave us regular updates and photos of Cookie during the day. Overall, I appreciate how well she took her care of Cookie during his stay and her flexibility.”
13. Kelly A.

“Rosie was well cared for and appeared to have so much fun with her new friend, Margot. I was nervous leaving my dog with new pet sitters but, during the first few minutes of meeting Henry and Kaylie, all my concerns disappeared. The pictures they shared while I was gone were reassuring and fun to get. I will be using them again!!”
19. Trish C.
“We had the best experience with Trish! She watched our two goldendoodles for two weeks while we were away. She sent several photo updates everyday - of them getting snuggles, playing fetch in their backyard, getting yummy homemade treats - which showed that she was taking such great care of our pups. Trish even brushed our dogs routinely which we didn’t ask her to do! She was so warm, welcoming, responsive, and trustworthy from the first message to the final pickup. She clearly adores dogs, well definitely book her again and we would strongly recommend her to anyone!”
