Justin was great to work with! He asked great questions at drop off to get to know our dog and care for him well. Would recommend him and use him again in the future! He was also transparent about other dogs he was boarding the same time ours was there.

As usual, Lola loves going to Scott & Jess’ house! This time when I dropped her off and Scott came out to get her, she ran up to the house with him and was so excited! Makes me so happy she enjoys being there. You guys are so great with her!

Lisa took care of our baby when we're out of town. She sent me regular updates which felt really nice. We were able to visit her place before booking to ensure our dog will get along with Missy. I will definitely recommend her. Thank you

Milli had a great weekend with Erin & Chris! They spoiled her while she was there! She also was very relaxed even after she returned home! I would definitely recommend them and appreciate that they limit the number of dogs at one time! Thanks Erin & Chris!

I could tell my dog was so happy during her stay and she returned to us so tired from playing all day. Ashley is great at communicating, treated my dog as her own, and her dogs are so friendly!

Liam took excellent care of our energetic mini-labradoodle! They are a dog friendly home and truly welcomed her right in! She got a lot of snuggles, attention, and walks. I was SO grateful having Liam watching her over a weekend while I was out of town. He kept me updated on her activities and sent darling pictures of her, I had such peace of mind knowing she was being so well cared for. I highly recommend Liam and will certainly be booking him again! Thank you, Liam! 🐶

Casandra came to our rescue when we needed to leave town on short notice. She was so wonderful with our dog Louie and sent updates on his stay (including an adorable picture of her grandson snuggling with him). She was quick to respond and flexible with the drop-off/pick-up. Louie loved the attention that he got while staying with her.

Alice is absolutely amazing ! As soon as we dropped Benji off, we felt like he was in the best hands! This was one of the first times we were away from him this long and Alice made us feel so at ease and reassured throughout the whole trip! I’ve found a permanent dog-sitter in Alice ! I highly recommend and appreciate you, Alice ! Thank you for everything !!

Jessica took care of my dog Iommi for a long weekend while I traveled out of state for my brother's wedding. It was my first time leaving Iommi and Jessica was the perfect person to leave her with. I was admittedly anxious about leaving Iommi for the first time, but as soon as I arrived the morning of drop-off Jessica made me feel 100% at ease. She took care of Iommi like she was her own and I know Iommi had a great time staying with Jessica and her family and playing with her dog Rip. I highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for care for their pet! I will definitely be booking with Jessica again!

I wish I could leave more than 5 stars. Liz is amazing with Rudy. She kept me updated about how he was doing with lots of photos and videos. I never once had to worry about my Rudy while I was busy with wedding stuff. She is my go to person to take care of Rudy when I’m in Des Moines.

Ashley & Oziel did great with our pup, Dakota! He was exhausted when we picked him up, which is the best case scenario! They checked all the boxes and we can't wait to have them watch Dakota in the future!

Great communication; Coco was well cared for and enjoyed her stay. Ashly's dog, Tony, is very patient and well-mannered - great for my skittish pup.

My dogs were happy and exhausted when I picked them up from a two-night weekend stay at Lucia's. Lucia sent me a photo each day to let me know my two fur babies were doing well and I had no worries at all while I, too, enjoyed my weekend. Would recommend Lucia. Definitely worth the drive.

Maricela was awesome with easing in Sami into her home, giving her space to get used to the new environment. She sent pictures daily and was always incredibly responsive in both the inquiry and once booked. She accommodated our requests and was incredibly friendly. Definitely recommend Maricela if you are looking for someone that will treat your pet as their own!
