They are amazing! We have now sent our dog to stay with them twice and they will always be our first choice for a dog sitter. We are pretty sure our dog has more fun and activities with them then he does at home.

Duncan had so much fun during his stay at Justin's, judging by the looks of the pictures that were sent and the fact he slept all day after he came home. Communication was great and was very responsive. Will book again!

Taitum was the perfect sitter for my Svenny! She sent me photos and updates throughout the weekend which gave me such a peace of mind! Sven came home tired and happy so I know he was well taken care of all weekend. Taitum’s puppy was the perfect play mate for Sven as well!

Our pup, Kevin, had a great weekend with Jessica. We had plenty of updates, and Kevin had tons of outside time doing his favorite thing — playing fetch. Jessica and her husband were so accommodating with our last minute plans and flexible with pick up and drop off times. We will definitely have Kevin stay here again. I highly recommend for all dog parents, but especially if you have a mid-large size pup who loves the outdoors and has lots of energy.

This was Pippa’s second stay and she enjoyed it just as much as the first. Jennifer is always so wonderful with her! Pippa comes home happy as can be. I hate taking trips without her but I know she's in good hands and I have peace of mind.

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!

We were worried about leaving our dog for 5 days with someone we didn't know and he hadn't stayed with before. That worry wasn't needed. Patty knew I was worried and was wonderful! We got pictures, videos, and comments about how the days were going twice a day. Patty loves and is knowledgeable about dogs and the wonderful care they get shows that. Our guy was obviously fond of Patty and we will definitely book with her again.

Ginny welcomed my feisty little rescue fella with open arms. He found doggie friends and cuddled up with the family. She sent me pictures often of these cozy activities. My Wilbur came home missing his friends you can be sure. I will be looking to Ginny as a go to pup nanny and would highly recommend her to anyone who asks.

Lisa was a wonderful host to our two senior dogs. This was our first time using Rover and the dogs had a rough start adjusting (had multiple accidents in the home). Lisa was patient and was solution focused. She tried different methods to decrease their anxiety and provided us frequent updates on how they are doing. They definitely adapted with her help! One of our dogs is diabetic and Lisa helped us administer his medication injection as well.

I’m extremely pleased with the care provided by Megan when she took care of my 2 dogs for 6 days/5 nights while I was out of state on vacation. I had never left them that long with anyone before, and one of mine (Callie) is very attached to me and has some separation anxiety. But my fears were put to rest by Megan’s kind and reassuring manner when we first met and even more so when she sent me updates and several pictures every day to let me know how my pups were doing. She let me know my 2 pups were getting along well with her 2 little dogs, and the pictures reinforced they were making themselves at home. I really appreciated that she has a large fenced in yard for the dogs since mine are used to that. I will definitely use Megan again and am so relieved to know I can leave my dogs with her and they will be well cared for. She is awesome! I highly recommend her.

Evan is a kind person. He communicates regularly and makes both the dog and it’s owner feel good during the stay. He kept in touch providing me updates and pictures. I felt very confident that Lynk was in good hands. Thank you Evan.

Elizabeth was great! She bailed us out after some of our regular sitters fell through and went above and beyond the call of dog-sitting duty. We got lots of updates, including pictures and videos, during our pup's stay. Highly recommend. She was amazing!
