Dog Boarding in Boone

“Sheryl was an amazing pet sitter. She was very accommodating to all of Ollie's needs, including 2 types of dog food and medications. Sheryl is a dog lover and I was grateful to see how quickly Ollie warmed up to her. I know he got lots of attention and playtime. She sent photos and updates on a regular basis. Ollie is already booked for a repeat stay at Sheryl's.”

“This was our dog's first boarding experience and we are so grateful to have found Nicole! Our pup needed more time to warm up to the stay than I might have guessed, but Nicole and her family are experienced dog owners and let her settle in on her own terms. She got lots of love during her stay and Nicole sent us several much appreciated updates throughout. Highly recommend!”

“Fantastic! If I could give Kelly 10 stars I would. Her communication with us was perfect. This was my first experience with Rover and she put my mind at ease. Kelly sent me pictures throughout Henry’s stay, he had a ball playing with her lab. Highly recommend!!! Thanks Kelly!”

“Bailey was awesome with my cat and dog! She was fantastic with keeping my pets active during their stay. I absolutely love the pictures She sends throughout their stay, giving me peace of mind. I will be using her again for upcoming events & trips to come.”

“Kenneth was very communicative and checked in with pictures of Timmy! I had Timmy boarded for 10 days and knew he was well taken care and had plenty of fun while I was away. Would absolutely rebook. Very professional and kind.”

“Had a great experience boarding with Emma! Pups were so happy and she provided periodic updates. Would definitely board with her again and recommend to others!”

“Jordan was great and worked with us on short notice. Milo had a great time and got along well with both of his dogs. He went for long walks and and sent picture updates each day.”

“Steve and Tilaine were the best host to our rescue pup. Steve sent us pupdates and pics. and lila was the best/ chillest doggie companion for our buddy. We felt like our dog was made a part of there family. Im so excited our pup has a family to stay with next time we’re in Ames!”

“Took great care of our boys and provided updates often!”

About: I have taken care of furry friends of neighbors, friends and family for about 10 years. I just recently moved to Iowa from New York after just graduating with my animal science degree from Cornell University and worked in a veterinary clinic for the last three years before moving! Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions! Hi! For house sitting: I prefer NOT to stay at your house at night but am happy to hang out with your pets throughout the day. However, here is my schedule for most of my clients: feed/play/take out around 6-7am, let them out between noon-1pm, feed/play/take out around 5-6pm, and let them out between 9-10pm again. Although this is the scheduled I follow, I would love to know your schedule with your pets and will try to accommodate them as best as I can! For Boarding: Your pup(s) will join into my family and interact with my two friendly dogs. There is a bell on the door so they can ring it to go out (if trained to do so). I hike almost everyday with my own dogs and typically take any dog that is boarding with me along. I also have a large fenced in back yard for the dogs to play all day! My dogs are rarely left alone but when they are, they are crated and I ask that dogs staying with me are also crate trained. All dogs that I board are introduced slowly to my own personal dogs and are closely watched until I feel it is safe for them all to be together. Please let me know if your dog has any type of food/toy aggression before hand so I can accommodate! Drop Off/Pick up is between 6:30-7:30am and 6-8pm the day of. Please reach out with any questions! For drop-ins/house sitting: I am happy to keep your pets on their schedule as best as I can weather that be keeping them in a crate during the day/at night or letting them roam free in the house, ect. I am willing to do anything that keeps your pets happy and stress free while you are away including walks, hikes, playing fetch, or just hanging out on the couch! PLEASE READ THE SCHEDULE THAT I FOLLOW IN THE TYPICAL DAY SECTION! For Boarding: I have two of my own dogs that are friendly so your dog will just become a part of my small pack while you are away. I hike almost everyday with my own dogs and typically take any dog that is boarding with me along. My dogs are rarely left alone but when they are, they are crated and I ask that dogs staying with me are also crate trained. All dogs that I board are introduced slowly to my own personal dogs and are closely watched until I feel it is safe for them all to be together.

“Makiah was a great sitter for our dog! She was friendly, communicative, and punctual. Took our dog out for pup cups, car rides, and walks and sent pictures and videos the whole weekend! I would definitely recommend Makiah and contact her again for future pet sitting”

“Mallory did a great job pet sitting Colby! He has a chronic illness which requires twice a day medication which she had no problems giving, and he recently had developed some issues urinating in his kennel, which Mallory had no problems handling and helped me also solve this new behavioral problem while I was gone. I got picture and video updates almost every day while I was on my vacation which were greatly appreciated. And I know he enjoyed his time there playing with the other dogs.”

“Tiffany was flexible, communicative, and knowledgeable. I appreciated her willingness to take in my giant breed dog last minute and would highly recommend her to other people.”

“Hailey did a great job with our dog! She kept us updated on everything she did with our dog over the weekend and it sounds like they had lots of fun. She did a great job following through with our preferences for walks and our dog seemed well taken care of when we picked him up. She was also flexible and accommodating of our drop off & pick up times.”

“Avery was great with my dog. She made sure he was comfortable in her home and took him for plenty of walks to help with his nervousness. She was also happy to meet prior to the boarding to help my dog get accustom to the environment, which I really appreciated. Overall I would feel very comfortable leaving my dog with her again.”

“Super clean and comfortable space! No odor of dog hitting you when you walk in the door. Personalized attention for your pets! Our dog was safe and cozy during her stay - we plan to use him exclusively!”

“This was my first time using Rover so I was little nervous. However, Alex and his girlfriend were SO nice and helpful! They responded very quickly when I texted them and they were sure to send me pictures. I even asked them very last minute to keep my dog another night and they were more than willing to. I loved that they have a fenced in back yard too. Definitely would recommend them!”

“Chloe was super friendly and incredibly flexible with me. I could tell she made my dogs feel right at home. Definitely a great place for them to stay! I would recommend her!”

“Gina was the perfect match for our yorkie. She communicated with us everyday even sending pictures so we knew Gabbi was comfortable. We will definitely be asking Gina to care for our dog the next time we need it.”

“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.”
