Dog Boarding in Aplington, IA

“Shaun and Katie are fantastic! Their family played with and loved on my pup while I was away and sent me photos and videos. She had so much fun playing on their farm that it was like she was on her own vacation! Knowing she was being taken such good care of allowed us to enjoy our vacation even more. I’ve already rebooked them twice for this summer.”

About: I have had so many different pets growing up. I have owned dogs, cats, hamsters, tarantulas, snakes, scorpions, and many different lizards. I personally believe in positive reinforcement when it comes to training animals and I have a special heart for senior animals. I will be home from Tuesday to Friday all day. I would do my daily exercise with the animals depending on the species. I am a very routined person and can follow strict and specific instructions. I have one cat at home who is friendly but can be kept away if animal doesn’t react well to others. Each animal will be taken very good care of depending on the instructions of the owner.

“Matt took GREAT care of our Ollie. We were gone for a week and the previous visit at Matt's house had only been one day. Matt was confident from that one visit that Ollie would do well and that he'd behave. Well, Matt was right. Matt knows dogs and has watched MANY. He is relaxed and calm with dogs, which is a must for any caretaker. Our pup had so many other playmates between doggy daycare dogs and Matt's own dogs during his stay. Ollie was so depressed for a good four days after leaving their house!! We're thankful Ollie had a good time and that Matt had a safe, loving home for our dog while we were on vacation. We had some troubles getting home (flight delays, missed connections) and Matt was very accommodating and helpful with pickup. BOOK WITH MATT! :)”

“Max really enjoyed staying with Shannon. I really liked getting the video updates from Max's stay. I would definitely recommend Shannon to anyone that is looking for a trusted person to watch their dog. And Max got to play with his 3 dogs, his dogs are all very sweet and loving❤️ Max will be staying here again!”

“Murphy had a fantastic time with Bryson, Ashley and their family pets! It is great to get away and know that he will be well taken care of!!! Thank you again for your hospitality! I will definitely reach out for Murphy to visit again! ❤️”

“Couldn’t ask for better sitters for Frankie. Gave us daily updates & pictures. Also worked with us on our uncertain schedule. Would definitely use Tim & Sonja again.”

“Cash had a great time with Jenny and Remy! Jenny sent us pictures throughout his stay and Cash and Remy played so well together! It was great to know Cash was well taken care of and had a friend to play with:) Cash is excited to go back to visit again!”

About: I've had furbabies of all types since I was a child, worked as a veterinary tech for several years and foster cats and small pets. I currently work part time remotely from home and can take my work with me anywhere I go! I love kitty cuddles and no pup is too big to sit on my lap. I have 6 ft fenced in yard, kennels, dog/cat beds, cat trees, toys and kids to play with them. My furbabies are family and are treated as such.

About: I am a HUGE animal lover! I grew up on a farm so I’ve been around all types of animals and livestock. I used to work at a veterinary clinic for 3 years, an animal shelter for a year, and now I’m back to livestock. I currently have 4 cats of my own. I have been around and worked with all types and kinds! I will make sure your pet is comfortable and happy at all times! I do have a full time job, but am very flexible when caring for your animals. I am available week days in the afternoons and most weekends. You let me know what is needed and I can make it work with my schedule! I am comfortable with staying in your home if that’s desired! I will give them lots of love and always take care of their needs.

“I could not have asked for a better sitter for Cooper! Rachel was very responsive and sent a couple pictures a day. She let me know right away that he had settled in so I didn't worry. Walks, exercise, games--she did all the things he loves! Worked with us schedule-wise for drop off/pick up. I hope she will be available next time he needs a place.”

“Jennifer took such good care of Oka and kept me updated with pictures and everything! Would highly recommend her!!”

“Rachel was great about giving me updates, sending pictures, and video. Overall communication was excellent. Our dog looked like he was at ease and enjoying his time with Rachel and her family. We will definitely book with Rachel and her family in the future.”

“The entire family welcomed a golden doodle with open arms and love. Picked up quickly on the silliness of our quirky girl. We will definitely be rebooking and will recommend them to others.”

“OMGGG IM SO THANKFUL FOR YOU 2!! We have never left Willa anywhere before so this was our first night away from her. All the pictures and videos made leaving our baby for the first time so much easier! I can't begin to tell you how much I appreciate you! Willa is napping away now after her fun weekend ❤️”

“This was our first time using Rover and Angie was a great sitter. She kept me updated with multiple photos a day! We knew our dog was in good hands and will definitely use her again!”

“Chelsey took great care of Annie and provided great exercise opportunities for her. She also sent updates and pictures while Annie stayed with her. I would recommend Chelsey to others and wouldn’t hesitate to have Annie stay there again!”

“Emily was great! She sent photo updates and was quick when communicating!”

About: Hello! I am looking forward to meeting your doggie! I have a very energetic dog and two kids ready to play too! I work during the day but evenings and weekends are open for doggy kisses and love from all of us! Reach out and we can set up a time to meet. I work full time during the week. However, I can meet your dog’s needs based on a schedule we agree on! We can plan this together. We love walks and playing outside! We can discuss further on your dog’s specifics once we meet! Every dog is different and so is their environment!

“Alisha has been around animals her whole life. She has taken care of fish, cats, hamster, ferret, horses, chickens, and dogs. She was taught at a young age how special her animals were. She was responsible for taking care of them by walking them, she kept them well groom and fed. While in high school and college she took her dog to the local nursing home to visit the residents, where she went room to room visiting for hours. Her and Kia, her black lab, would love to dress up and parade around to nursing home, neighborhood and shut in elderly and sick people to see the excitement on all ages from children to elderly was an excitement that they loved to do on a weekly base. After moving out on her own she purchase a Bernese Mountain Puppy, she named her Sequoia, the two of them have been inseparable they do everything together. Sequoia loves to go to doggie parks, trail walking car rides and especially loves to have yearly birthday puppy parties where Alisha remembers to bring treats for the other puppies who come to the party. Moving in with her love of her life the two of them along with Sequoia and three cats have adopted another dog, Frankie Mae, the two dogs love hanging out together like sisters. When they come to visit they are calm and relax, well behaved you would think you would worry about the kids but you don't need worry they are well mannered dogs. The love and attention Alisha and her husband give these animals are remarkable. Your pet would be well taken care of if you leave them in the hands of Alisha she will make sure they are nurtured loved and cared for she always gives 100% into the love of her animals.”

“Savannah was great to work with. My cat Leo was returned to me healthy and happy. I was sent severely pictures of Leo during the week I was on vacation. I would be happy to use Savannah again!”
