“This is our first Rover booking and we couldn't be happier. Brooke did an excellent job of making sure our "new to us" rescue dog had a good experience. Amee got to read stories at bedtime and take walks with the family. She'll be back for more fun.”
“This was Rosey's first time staying with Wendy. She seemed very relaxed and felt safe and comfortable in all of the correspondence I received. Communication was A+. Wendy is very knowledgeable about dogs and has a great/safe place to board. Makes visiting dog feel welcome. We will definitely go to Wendy's again!”
“We were nervous leaving our semi-newly adopted puppy anywhere, but also wanted to visit family for the holidays that we had not seen in awhile. We couldn't have chosen a better family! The whole family took such great care of our Mango with lots of love, runs, and snuggles. Thank you for all the pics! Helped my kids make it through our trip!”
“Nicole and her family took excellent care of Teddy. Quick, easy communication and zero drama. Both drop-off and pick-up were smooth/seamless. Nicole sent pictures and updates daily. Teddy left Nicole’s home tired and happy. Many thanks to Nicole/kids/husband and resident pack for a lovely stay!”
About: I’ve been a devoted dog owner since 2009, and my dogs have always been cherished family members. Our home includes two friendly dogs who get along well with others, plus two kids who love being part of the “pack.” We have a secure 6-foot privacy fence for safe playtime, and I can work from home when hosting dogs that need extra attention. Life here is relaxed. Our dogs run and play in the yard, nap on the couch, and soak up attention all day. I work in Ames and can work from home if pups need more company during the workday. My kids love to help with feeding, walks, and snuggles. I am even available during ISU football games to swing by, feed, or let your dog out. In our home, pets are treated like family. Visiting dogs can play safely in our fenced yard, relax on the furniture, and enjoy plenty of supervised attention. I make sure water is always available, follow any feeding or medication instructions, and keep a close eye on interactions with my own dogs to ensure everyone is comfortable. My kids also pitch in with gentle play, walks, and extra snuggles, so your pup will feel right at home.
“We had such a wonderful experience with Hope. They took amazing care of our dog, while we were away. We got regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. I highly recommend Hope to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with them.”
“It’s our first time, our dog, Ty was staying with Kelly. Kelly is so great in taking care of Ty, she took Ty for walk and watched what he needed, also sending us updates and pictures of Ty. We feel very comfortable living Ty in Kelly’s care. We will definitely using Kelly’s service again in our future needs.”
“Samantha was amazing! She send me photos and updates of Carl and was so helpful to do a late pickup because of my flight delay. I would definitely feel safe and happy if I get to board Carl with her.”
“Amazing boarding experience!!! Erin was wonderful taking on a last minute boarding booking for my girl. She was very attentive to all the details of taking care of my pup and keeping in communication with me before and during my time away. My girl enjoyed snuggles, walks, and meeting Erin’s roommates. I could tell she enjoyed her stay from the photo updates. Whether your pup has a lot of specifics for their care or you just need someone reliable and dependable, Erin is wonderful! Definitely will be booking again in the future. Thank you again Erin!”
“Sasha took great care of our dog and puppy while we were visiting fam :) my older dog can get nervous and he seemed totally great and happy when we picked them up. thank you Sasha!”
“Jody (Jolene) was very quick to respond and took great care of our lab! He had double ACL surgery in previous years so she ensured he was not roughhousing with other pets. Thank you!”
About: I have about 2 years experience working in the ICU of an emergency animal hospital. I’ve had to take care of puppies, seniors, injured dogs, dogs recovering from surgery, dogs prone to eating things they’re not supposed to, and everything in between. I’m working towards getting into vet school, so I’m trying to save up money while doing what I love most: spending time with animals! I have classes at 8 or 9am every morning until evening so I am free to shower your baby with love anytime after classes, during lunch, or overnight if needed! Pets in my home are treated as if they are my own! That means they’ll be staying with me in my room and get supervised playtime with my animals if allowed. I will be respectful of your space while making sure your furbaby will get everything they require!
