Doggy Day Care in Boone

“They are so lovely! A massive yard for Ace to run in which he definitely needed. Her dogs are so friendly and playful. Her children are also very helpful and respectful in asking if they can give my dog one of their dog toys. Will definitely be coming back!”

“Angela and her family are THE BEST! We have such peace of mind knowing our dog is loved and taken care of. Our dog loves being able to play with her dogs and the other dogs she watches and she takes them for walks and trips to the dog park. She sends photo and video updates and has been amazing with our demanding schedule. We could not recommend her more!”

“I'm pretty sure my dog, Frank, is currently petitioning for a legal name change to "Frank of Ames" after his stay with Katrina yesterday. We were in town visiting our daughter at Iowa State and needed a safe, fun place for Frank to stay, and we hit the jackpot. From the moment we dropped him off, Frank was already sizing up his new crew—Katrina's two incredibly friendly dogs—and planning his fun. The photo and video updates she sent were amazing, showing Frank living his absolute best life, running around and making new friends. Seriously, if you ever need photographic evidence that your dog is having a better time than you are, book with Katrina. Frank came home happy, perfectly exhausted, and now gives us serious side-eye every time we suggest a plain old walk instead of a dog playdate at her place. Thank you, Katrina! You made our trip worry-free. Highly, highly recommend!”

“I was referred to Mallory when my last doggie daycare person moved out of town recently. I'm so glad she did! Mallory is amazing! So many pictures and videos throughout the day and I can tell Misty had so much fun that she wants to sleep for the rest of the day! Gives me and my husband peace of mind that Misty is in good hands when we are both at work. :)”

About: I grew up caring for dogs my entire life so far, and cats/exotic animals later on. I had a golden retriever from ages 0-10, two Bichon Shih Tzu mixes from ages 11 into my late teen years, and a mini golden doodle and Bichon poodle mix from my teens until i moved out at 18. I also grew up keeping exotic animals since age 8 with help from my parents, and started caring for them on my own since age 16. I have kept frogs, toads, an anole, and even a praying mantis! My partner and I currently have a Husky/German shepherd mix, 3 cats, a bearded dragon, a red eared turtle, a day gecko, and an american toad. I am well versed in caring for all kinds of reptiles and amphibians of all habitats, including arboreal/tropical, desert, aquatic, etc. When it comes to feedings, any kind of feeders/bugs don’t scare me😅. I currently work part-time, and am a full time student. I am doing online college, and working towards a business management degree. My coursework is online, so my schedule is pretty flexible when it comes to pet care. I am home daily, and my partner has days off on Mondays and Tuesdays. We are both huge animal lovers, and have endless love to give! I live in a 3 bedroom condo, with a partial non-fenced backyard, so I would be walking any dogs on a leash. We have 3 cats, so we have 2 litter boxes in the house for use.

About: I’ve taken care of fur babies of all kinds since before I could walk. I grew up with a dog and cat always in tow. I lived in the country, so learned fast that the world can be hard for an animal, thus beginning my rehab ‘career’. As I got older, I pet sat for neighbors and family friends. In my mid 20s I trained as a vet tech, prepping animals for surgery, giving vaccinations, nail trims, etc. Until the ISU Wildlife Clinic closed, I volunteered there, learning more care for wild native animals. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, I can’t imagine life without animals. I currently have a senior border collie named Lola, she has arthritis so sometimes she needs help getting around and I’m always willing to help my girl. I also have a senior cat. Currently I’m a doordash/grub hub driver, so I literally am free 24/7 to care for your pets! I will prioritize Rover over delivery, so I can work with any schedule you need. I’m available for repeat needs (several walks a week, drop ins, etc). I live in a duplex with a yard. For me to board a pet, they would need to get along with my dog, and she can honestly be a bit grumpy meeting new dogs, so I feel going to the client’s home would be best. I will respect your home and follow whatever instructions you have for the care of your pets.

“Fritz had a great time with Alex, Andrea, and his new friend Nala! Thank you for the updates and for taking good care of him while I was away for the day. Will definitely re-book!”

“Our dog was happy and relaxed when we picked him up. It seemed like he had a fun afternoon and it was clear that he was well cared for. Thank you Tilaine and family, and extra thanks for working with us on such short notice!”

“Samantha is so great to work with! She follows directions perfectly and takes excellent care of all the (3) dogs we’ve had her sit for (doggie day care). She communicates effectively and timely and we never have to worry.”

About: I have cared for dogs and animals since I was 10. Family and neighbors alike have relied on me to take care of their animals, whether it was drop-in visits, walking, or daycare; I did it all and have excellent experience raising my fur babies. I love animals, and I cannot wait to make your life easier! I am a senior at Iowa State as a triple major studying English, Criminal Justice, & Technical Communication with aspirations of becoming a multi-genre author. In my downtime of not studying or working on being an entrepreneur, I give my animals lots of attention and make yummy paw treats for my fur babies! I am currently working at a different job from 11a-8pm Tues, Wed, Thurs, Fri and Saturday. I am available for day care, on the weekends of Sun and Mon. I am available for boarding, drop in visits, dog walking, and house sitting any time. * It is always best to contact me first to ask me if I am available!! * When you choose me for your needs I will have plenty of time to care of your fur babies! I am dedicated and motivated to help you with your pet's needs and make your and your fur babies' lives easier. I have a fenced backyard and plenty of space for your fur baby to run around. I also have a lot of house for your lovely pet to play and relax in. I have a cat and a small adult dog breed for your baby to play with and have company while they are here for boarding or day care. I offer other services as well, so I try to make my home as comfortable and safe as possible for my personal pets and my clients' fur babies.

About: I’ve had animals my whole life, as a kid we had four dogs at one time and I was out there walking each one of them every hour or two. I’ve always had a passion for every kind of animal, big or small, skinny or fat. At the moment I have a cat, who is well trained around other animals of all kinds and love to play with others as well. If you want someone who is dedicated to care for your animals I would be the one for you, if your animal has a set schedule for everyday just let me know. I’m currently working part-time on DoorDash so I don’t have a set schedule because I make my own hours for that so if your looking for a pet sitter and believe that I would be great for your pet message me 1-2 days beforehand and we can get it set up! I am willing to walk dogs/cats every hour (or less) if needed. I rely on u to let me know feeding schedules of your pets preference and I stick to that.

“Orion is always exhausted after spending a day with Cameron. Cameron spends their time together teaching him and making sure he interacts well with the other pups. Orion is always excited to go to daycare!”

“I was visiting town for a work trip and was beyond impressed by the care and communication! My pup Barley is older and just had surgery - it was so wonderful leaving him without worry, knowing he would be extra loved and cared after during the day!”

About: Seasoned dog owner offering full-time pet care you can trust. My passion for animals started early—even before spending summers volunteering at the Ames Animal Shelter as a young girl. Every opportunity to pet sit for family and friends had me thrilled to spend time with animals.

I’m available 24/7, and I send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing they’re in kind, capable hands. I like to do a meet and greet before we book anything. It’s a great chance for your pets to get to know me, for us to go over how a typical day looks at your place, and to talk through anything I should be ready for—so I can make sure your pets get the best care possible. I’ll keep you updated with plenty of pictures and videos—and we can even FaceTime if you’d like! If there’s anything else I can do to make your time away from your pets easier, just let me know.

“Shweta was amazing with my three month old puppy. He looks forward to seeing her! Shweta took the time to chat with me on the phone prior and was great with any special directives for the puppy. It was a very easy and pleasant experience! 10/10 recommended! Definitely eased my mind while leaving him for the first time :)”

About: I have grown up with a dog and cats. I am very familiar with how to successfully care for pets because I don’t remember my life without pets. Growing up, I had a dog and cats which I helped care for. I would help with feeding them, bathing, and making sure they feel loved. With my dog, I spent a lot of days taking him on walks. I care for pets through showing them attention, making sure to aid to their needs. Depending on the temperament of the animal, I will play with them with toys.

“You should feel completely comfortable leaving your pet with Vickie. Great environment with a caring family !”
