“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”
2. 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!!”

“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.”

“Jason was really friendly. Ollie had an excellent time with Jason and the doggy friends. We really appreciate how flexible he was on such a short notice. He was very responsive to all of our text, and updated us very often.”
6. 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!”

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! 😂

10. Travis V.
“Wow. Travis was great! I was just in town from Chicago to see a play and reached out with maybe 30 minutes notice. I immediately felt comfortable with how calm and good natured he was with Kensley. This was her first rover experience! And mine. And was so happy with Travis who also sent cute pictures of Kensley hanging out with his dog and one other who is a regular visitor in his home. Highly recommend!!! If I’m ever back in iowa city/coralville and Kensley needs a sitter, Travis will be my first choice.”
