Kalanie & her gangs are so kind and lovely people. We got the updates and pics every day. Our flights were delayed a few rime and couldn’t get back home to pick Ocean upon time but Kalanie was so understanding. I would go back and use her service again with no hesitation. Thank you.

I have booked with Jessica a few times now and recommend her to anyone looking for top notch care for their pet. This most recent time I did not realize that my pup had a broken nail before dropping her off and Jessica saw it right away, took her to the vet, and went above and beyond to care for her during her week long stay. Also, my flight back to Des Moines was extremely delayed and Jessica was super accommodating and understanding. Jessica is incredibly responsive and I trust her completely with my dog Iommi. Whether you need a daycare stay or extended stay, Jessica is the person to book with. Thank you so much again Jessica!

Justin was incredible! He made sure that our pup Nash felt comfortable as well as reassured us that Nash was being taken good care of! He sent lots of updates and pictures to make it feel like we weren’t even away from Nash! Nash got to play outside, got lots of love, and even got some one on one time with Justin! We have one tired pup coming home with us! We highly recommend Justin and will definitely be taking Nash back in the future!

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!

This was my first time looking for a sitter and I am a first time pet owner so you can imagine the worries of making sure you found a good sitter! Sue was the first and only sitter i got in touch with! She is extremely friendly, and a great communicator, I even did a pre-trip visit with my cat bento to where he would be staying with her! After leaving bento with Sue for over a week, it is safe to say that Sue is the best at what she does, I would never look for another sitter again!

Casandra watched our boys for a whole week, and she did a fantastic job! She sent us tons of updates with pictures & videos that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that she cared for our two pups like they were her own, and she clearly gave them lots of love. They had a great time! I highly recommend Casandra, and we will definitely be using her in the future!

Jenevieve was everything you could want in a pet sitter! We left our dog and cat with her while we were gone for a week. They both thrived and got loved on by the whole family. She followed feeding instructions to a “T” and gave them so much loving and attention. We will definitely book with her again! Can’t recommend enough.

About: My husband and I have had dogs all our lives, but we are now empty nesters/retired and wanting to travel. We miss the companionship of having pets and are ready to give special care to yours! Retired & available day and night while caring for your pets. Able to go on walks anytime. Able to provide extra love & care. Last minute scheduling is usually ok. Just let us know the needs and wants of your fur baby! Fenced yard. No other pets (or kids) in home. Potty breaks any time of day. Great neighborhood with walking trails. We offer reliable and responsible care in our home with lots of time and love to give.

Lara and Cary provided Bear the home away from home that he needed while we were away. Lara sent pictures of Bear reassuring us that he was the king of the castle at yet another house. They enjoyed him and pampered him. Quite a treat for our older dog who can be a bit grumpy with his new playful younger sister, Sadie Mae.

Scott and Jess are truly the best! We have used them several times. Our dogs love to go on vacation at their house, and we enjoy our own trips knowing they are receiving excellent care. This last visit, Scott didn't even bat an eyelash at the idea of us sending our large dog with a cone and healing tail. We recommend them to everyone we know who needs a pet sitter.
