“Lifesaver and LOVES animals. Never left my dog with anyone other than my mom and I didn’t feel nervous at all. Sent me pictures and played with blaze. BLAZE LOVED THE BIRDS 🤣🫶🏼”


“I knew Debora was the right person to care for Cindy when I brought her to Debora's house to introduce the two of them. Debora had taken steps ahead of time to insure that Cindy did not get into an unsafe situation. Debora understands that a healthy cat cannot resist an open door of any kind. Debora let Cindy explore. She recognized Cindy's reactions to this unfamiliar environment. Debora was relaxed and patient. She quickly understood Cindy's personality. Debora was thorough in asking about Cindy's health. Debora is alert to nuances in behavior that may indicate a health issue in a cat. When I picked up Cindy after this her first stay, Debora commented on Cindy's vigorous, even startling, purring. Yes, that is Cindy when she is contented. I am pleased to have found such a fine caregiver for Cindy. I have already booked for two more stays with more coming up. Thank you, Debora!”


“Erin and Chris did an excellent job with our energetic little guy! They provided him with exceptional care and love. They went above and beyond to send us pictures through this stay, also! We would highly recommend them!”


“Alice was amazing! I was so nervous about leaving my dog with someone I did not know but she put me at ease as soon as we met. It was readily apparent that she has a lot of experience with dogs, and the safety and well-being of those in her care is her primary concern. She sent daily photos, videos and updates while I was gone. And it was obvious that Lucky enjoyed himself while he was there. Alice is a kind-hearted and responsible caregiver. She is at the top of my call list for future needs. Thanks Alice!”


“Our two dogs were lucky enough to stay with Sam and her family for a weekend. She is the best! Our dogs loved running around with her dogs in the large fenced yard. She kept us updated with lots of pictures and it was obvious they were being loved! It is such a relief to be able to leave and not worry about your dogs! We will be repeat customers!”


“Jessica and Scott treated our fur baby like he was one of their own! They were able to squeeze us in for a nine day stay after a different provider was unresponsive. They gave us a helpful list of items to bring and made drop off anxiety free for pup (& mom)! Reese loved being able to play outside all day and to meet new friends. Jessica communicated with us multiple times a day and provided updates on how our boy was doing! We knew he was in great hands every step of the way! We absolutely recommend Jessica and Scott and will be returning customers!”


“Gave my pup a great time with her whole family! He even ate most of his food, which he hasn’t ever done before anywhere else. He’s happy, sleepy, and content after a few nights with them. Thank you Candace!”


“Absolutely perfect experience. We were going to be in Ames for a night and needed a sitter for our two boys. Jenevieve was awesome. Friendly and personable and had a great environment for the dogs. Couldn’t have asked for anything more!!!! We are after nervous leaving them with someone we haven’t used before but when we dropped them off we could tell immediately they were in GREAT HANDS. Would 100% recommend her to anyone.”

“Absolutely recommend. She kept us updated on our babies and was always quick to answer when I checked on them. She sent pics of the girls at dogpark and took many pics during the girls visit. She was absolutely amazing!”



“Evan and his family are just amazing. My English cream golden retriever - Loki , just didn’t want to leave his place when we went to pick him up after 4 days. Evan had to come to our car to drop Loki because he wouldn’t move 😂 and Loki legit sulked for hours after reaching home because we brought him back. Clearly shows how much he loved his stay at Evan’s place. Loki had a great time with Evan, his family and his dog - Winny. I can blindly recommend him to all the dog parents out there. Thank you once again, Evan .”


“Gracie loves coming over and Jessica is her favorite! She treats our dog like family and did an awesome job of sending pics almost nightly. She’s always top of our list! ❤️”



“Cliff did such a great job with our dog. You can tell he really loves dogs and taking great care of them. Cliff even helped us with potty training our puppy along with buying her a gift to play with. Really cared about and cared for our dog. We so appreciate you.”


“Happy doggos! Loved that house was clean and organized and kids played with the dogs. They got plenty of snuggles and great fenced in back yard. Thank you!”


“Absolutely the best sitter I could have found. Spoiled my dog to the point he expects more from home now :). He has separation anxiety and she accommodated his every need and did everything to make him feel just like he is at home, she even let him sleep in her bed with her. I cannot recommend Casandra enough.”


“I cannot say enough nice things about Scott! Our Ruby loves staying there! We spent so many years not traveling because we were not comfortable leaving our beloved pup with anyone. Scott changed that! Now when we pick her up she doesn’t want to leave😁”


About: Growing up on a family farm, I have had the opportunity to care for many different kinds of animals (dogs, horses, cats, chickens, goats, pigs and cows). I have taken care of family and friends dogs for the last 20 years. I have raised 5 puppies and have shown a few of them in local shows. My kids are 10 and 7 and love taking our dogs for walks, hikes and playing with them in our very large back yard. I am home all summer and my school year schedule varies so I have plenty of time to take your pup on walks and play with them. I have a large fenced back yard and 2 pups friendly pups. I have the ability to take your dog to either a paved or dirt trail for walks or runs. My dogs walk 4 to 5 miles a day but I can definitely make the walk shorter if needed. I have the ability to separate the dogs if needed. I can also crate the dogs. Our dogs love to lounge on our couches.

“Another great visit with Christy and Ekram. I’ve never left my baby with someone else this long but they sent pictures and updates every day and made a huge effort to make sure she started eating again.”
