Dog Boarding in Winterset, IA

“Absolutely recommend. She kept us updated on our babies and was always quick to answer when I checked on them. She sent pics of the girls at dogpark and took many pics during the girls visit. She was absolutely amazing!”

“Having peace of mind that Zoee is content and well cared for is super important to me. Debora provided excellent care, and a calm vacation spot for our little mini-yorkie while we were out of state. Highly recommend :)”

About: I have had all kinds of animals my whole life, especially dogs. I also have 20 years vet tech experience with large and small animals. I work 4 days a week with flexibility so I can give your pet the care it needs. I have the holidays and weekends off which is when most people vacation. I have 3 friendly dogs of my own that will keep your baby company. I have crates if needed. I will hand walk if needed.

“Lucinda was able to watch our Nova girl last minute and welcomed her into her home as one of her own. Nova was very comfortable and enjoyed her stay.”

“Highly recommend booking a stay with Samantha and her husband. Right away they were very welcoming and all my nerves of leaving my dog were at ease. She makes sure to send multiple pictures each day and provided updates on how Charlie was doing each day and night as well as the activities they did! Will definitely book Charlie another stay with Samantha when I need to leave town again!!”

About: Growing up on a family farm, I have had the opportunity to care for many different kinds of animals (dogs, horses, cats, chickens, goats, pigs and cows). I have taken care of family and friends dogs for the last 20 years. I have raised 5 puppies and have shown a few of them in local shows. My kids are 10 and 7 and love taking our dogs for walks, hikes and playing with them in our very large back yard. I am home all summer and my school year schedule varies so I have plenty of time to take your pup on walks and play with them. I have a large fenced back yard and 2 pups friendly pups. I have the ability to take your dog to either a paved or dirt trail for walks or runs. My dogs walk 4 to 5 miles a day but I can definitely make the walk shorter if needed. I have the ability to separate the dogs if needed. I can also crate the dogs. Our dogs love to lounge on our couches.

“Scott took our pup on a short notice and we are so grateful! Went out of his way to make sure we got photos and videos which really gave us peace of mind. My pup had a lot of fun playing with the other dogs and Scott and his wife are extremely kind! Will be reaching out to Scott in the future. ? highly recommend!”

About: Are you looking for a more personal dog sitting experience rather than kennel? I will keep to your dog's routine with feeding schedules and outside breaks. I have two of my own spoiled dogs and a well behaved 12 year old son. We live in a few acres with a large privacy fenced backyard with plenty of room to play! I can give your pet lots of love and attention, and outside play time! I work at a local vet clinic taking care of many different animals with a variety of needs (including medication). I am very easy to contact, if necessary. I have references available upon request! I can't wait to meet you and your fur family- always open to meet and greets but up to your comfort level :) I prefer a weeks notice to adjust scheduling. Your dog must be dog and cat friendly. Outside breaks are offered in the morning, afternoon, early evening and evening. Breaks are typically 15-20 minutes or more but also dependent on weather. Feeding schedule can be 1-3 times a day. I have a six foot privacy fence and latched gates. All doors are locked when I'm away from home and at night. We're in the country away from any busy roads.

“Thank you, Carlee! You make your home a home away from home for Daisy. She loves it and your family!”

“Wiley stay with Evan and his family was great! We received pictures/videos everyday which we greatly appreciated. This was our first time using Rover, and Evan made us feel very comfortable with the whole process. Wiley was greatly taken care of and we could tell he had a good time. The yard was perfect for our dog to run around and get the outside time he needs daily. They even walked Wiley to the park. We will be using Evan in the future.”

“These guys are great! Very caring & attentive! Sent us a few pics while we were gone that put our minds at ease & even took Coco for a walk. Looking forward to them keeping her next time. Thank you for the great care of Coco!!”

“Absolutely recommend - great communication & updates (with photos)! We felt very confident leaving our dog knowing she was going to be safe and loved. Wonderful family & the perfect set up for dogs to have everything they need.”

“Jeffrey and Nicole took great care of our dog Beau! Played fetch with him and even took care of an unexpected ear infection right before we left. They sent us updates just the right amount. We will definitely use them again!”

“Teddy had a great time during his stay. Very well taken care of and I would to leave Teddy again with Maria in the future. Maria shared multiple pictures and video's of Teddy throughout the duration.”

“Patty was great to work with and always prompt with responses. I appreciate the updates and pictures. I let her know I have a nervous dog and she was open to a meet and greet and asked what would help my dog to be comfortable while he was with her. Will use her again. Thanks Patty!!”

“Shelly was a fantastic dog sitter. Communication was great, she sent me updates several times a day. The level of care and love that was shown for Beau was top notch. He was a part of her family during his stay.........couldn't ask for anything better!”

“Couldn't ask for a better house to leave my girl at. She had a blast with Juno (the house pup) and the constant updates gave us peace of mind. Thank you Brianna. We will definitely leave our girl with you any time we need to.”

“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.”

“Elyssa is AMAZING! She sent so many photos and videos of my pup playing with her sweet dogs! Beautiful home with large backyard! My pup was so spoiled there and I will absolutely be calling Elyssa the next time I need someone to watch my fur baby!”

“A safe and wonderful home with great people to watch over my doggies is what I was looking for and Craig and his wife came through! Very loving people that took great care of my older dog Spud and my little puppy Lola, it was a handful and I appreciate them taking on the task and at such a late notice! I’m a very happy and satisfied dog mom.”
