Dog Boarding in Ames

“My dogs had such a great time with Mallory while we were away! They were well taken care of and loved having other dogs to play with! Will definitely be using her again!”

Alex S.

“I was very happy with the care my dog received while staying with Steve and his family. I received pictures and updates while I was gone. I will definitely use them again and would highly recommend them.”

Anna R.

“Katrina and her children took great care of my pup while I was away for the holidays. She sent lots of updates and photos. Her dogs are super sweet and were great playmates for Luna. She came home happy and tired from all the playtime. Katrina provided all of the dogs with Christmas treats and they each got to unwrap and keep a present! Great service. I will definitely contact Katrina in the future when Luna needs a place to stay.”

Sarah B.

“It was very comforting leaving my dog with such a nice family. I loved it that she was home most of the time with my dog who needs a lot of companionship.”

Tara G.

“Sarah did a great job spending two weeks with our St. Bernard! She sent updates and pictures and was super accommodating. We would use Sarah again in a flash!”

Drew M.

“We had a wedding outside of town and didn’t want to leave our dog In the hotel for 10+ hours so we boarded him with Angela and her family. They are the best! Such nice people and did an amazing job with Winston. Got a few pictures and heard he had a great time. Highly recommend you use them whenever you have a need !”

Chaz F.

“Java had a great time! I loved getting pictures each day and Java made a new friend as well!”

Travis S.

“Our doggo loved his stay! He had a nice balance of outdoor play time (his favorite thing!) and inside rest. He had fun with a variety of other dogs to socialize, which is great for him, and plenty of space to take a break too. It was like he had a mini vacation! He came home happy and exhausted. We'll definitely rebook with Nicole! Thanks for taking such good care of our pup--such a relief to not worry about him when we're apart. 💚”

Oakley C.

“I’m convinced Zion has officially claimed Meagan and her family as more members of his pack. 😂😂 He literally wouldn't leave her side at pickup and politely tucked himself into her hip and a corner of her staircase to avoid being leashed up! I love so much that he is “at home” on his visits to Meagan’s! Couldn't ask for better! 😍🙈”

Eddye J.

“Great sitter. It was a GR party of 3! My dog was worn out, happy and well taken care of. Daily updates with a picture was sent. Thx for your care! Would recommend and use Kayla again.”

Lynnette S.

“Brooke and Brent were a delight to work with. I admittedly had a last minute booking and they were very gracious. Their family was very welcoing to my dog and they were a delight to with. Very grateful to them and happy to enthusiastically recommend!”

Lewis C.

“This was Rosey's first time staying with Wendy. She seemed very relaxed and felt safe and comfortable in all of the correspondence I received. Communication was A+. Wendy is very knowledgeable about dogs and has a great/safe place to board. Makes visiting dog feel welcome. We will definitely go to Wendy's again!”

Cheri N.

“Kimberlee provided an amazing home for my Oakley to stay at! She took such great care of my dog and made the whole experience stress-free. I could tell Oakley was happy, comfortable, and well loved while I was away. Kimberlee kept me updated and went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. I would 100% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring Rover sitter!”

Jenna J.

“Alivia was an amazing sitter for Ares! She was incredibly attentive and made sure he had everything he needed while I was away. She sent regular updates and photos, which kept me completely in the loop and gave me peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after, and I could tell Ares was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. I would absolutely trust Alivia to watch him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter!”

Jaylee S.

“Sophia was so sweet with my 2 year old dog. She made her feel safe and loved. Would highly recommend and will schedule with her again!”

Kedra H.

“Another great stay! Amanda treats our Great Dane Saturn as one of her own! It’s great having someone familiar and comfortable with big dogs!”

Whitney C.

“I had to leave my dog for a week while I was on vacation, and Jodi did an amazing job making sure she felt comfortable, safe, and loved while I was away. I came home to a happy and relaxed dog, and I truly appreciated the updates/pictures she provided throughout the week!”

Genevieve D.

“Tucker had a great time with Amanda! She sent lots of pictures and updates! He was nice and tired when he came back home from all the playing. 5 ⭐️”

Matthew B.

“Sam watched my dog Milo for two nights. We did a meet and greet the week prior so Milo and her dog could get acquainted. Sam was flexible with drop off and pick up times and kept me updated throughout the weekend with notes and pictures. She worked through Milo's first night anxiousness and he settled in well by the next day. Milo loved the long walks and puzzles.”

About: I am a student at Iowa State University, eager to get some good puppy love. After moving from northern Illinois, I miss my family dogs dearly and want to help others with their dogs and give them the attention they deserve. Growing up, I had many dogs and cats, ranging from small to very large dogs. I am also experienced handling less friendly dogs, and am good at making connections with them. I’m currently working part time as a customer services representative at Iowa State’s Recreation Services and do research remotely in a lab at the university. I tend to be able to do early mornings or afternoons! My apartment is safe, secured by multiple locked doors and is regularly cleaned and uncluttered. At a clients house, I am sure to respect your pet’s way of life and the house rules as well.
