1. Ashley D.
“Ashley and her family were absolutely wonderful! My normally anxious dog was excited to return each day to see Ashley and spend the day with her. Ashley sent regular picture updates, communicated thoroughly, and was flexible with pick up/drop off hours. My dog loved having children and their cat to interact with, backyard time, and Ashley’s company on the couch while she worked from home. My dog came home in a great mood each day, no anxiety at all like with daycare facilities. We will absolutely book with Ashley again!!”
2. Morgan F.
“Ivory and coco love staying with Morgan! great communication throughout the day along with pictures updates, already booked next daycare with Morgan again, definitely recommend”
3. Danny P.
“Danny was great. Easy to speak to, easy to organize the logistics of drop off and pick up. Danny kept us updated throughout the day on how our dogs were and sent picture and video updates. Our dogs loved their time and were all worn out when we got home! Highly recommended.”
4. Kasey B.
“Kasey was an absolute blessing to us! Our daughter was admitted to Iowa City Hospital and we were traveling with our 2 fur babies. We had no idea how we would be able to visit her, but Kasey made it possible! Her location to the hospital is absolutely perfect! Her love of animals is extremely evident when you visit her lovely home! Knowing she will be able to care for our dogs for future hospital visits with our daughter gives us such peace of mind! You will not be disappointed if you choose Her!”
5. Jason W.
“Great communication, kind, flexible sitter. Jason is conscientious--I appreciated the meet and greet and that he took notes. Bonus--my dog learned that cats aren't squirrels! Will recommend and definitely book again.”
6. Samantha W.
“In the 4 years I known Sam I’ve never met anyone else as caring and compassionate as she is about animals. She has a huge heart and it shows in the respect and love she gives to her own animals and all the animals she cares for. She will treat your dog as if it is her own and your animal is sure to love her too. She will make sure all of your dogs routines are followed so they are comfortable and happy while you’re away. You could not make a better choice than picking Sam to care for your dog.”

About: I will love your fur babies like my own. I grew up on a farm, have my own pets, and my daughter is a dog groomer. They will be in good hands. If they are staying with me, Mon-Fri, I am able to walk them every 4-5 hours during the day, and every two hours in the evenings. On weekends, I’m available all day and night. I have two small, friendly dogs who I walk on leash several times a day. My dogs (& two cats) LOVE all the pets we’ve had visit our home…well the cats just watch us disapprovingly, but the dogs love them anyway! 😂
8. Ariel & Patrick J.
“Ariel was excellent with our miniature poodle and we will definitely be using her again. She sent us frequent updates and photos of our dog.”
9. Auden B.
“Auden was very communicative with us, sending pics throughout the day, and seemed to understand what our dog liked best (being outside) and letting him do that. Auden was also willing to ask questions on how to best take care of our dog (he's blind). We greatly appreciated that approach to learning.”
10. Jeanette R.
“Jeanette was excellent with our dog babies. We have a Great Dane and Mastiff mix which can both be a handful due to their size and our Dane has anxiety issues. Jeanette takes extra care to make sure he stays calm and gives him lots of love when we are out of town. We hire her whenever she’s in town.”
11. Daniel F.
“Dan has been a great friend of mine, but also a fantastic sitter for Peppy. He’s thorough on taking care of him during his stay and accommodate his needs. Dan is also a pet owner currently and does so well. He is very responsible and takes time to give pets attention and cares for them appropriately. They would be in amazing hands with him.”
