Dog Boarding in Ely, IA

“Great communication and wonderful hosts! Our pup seems to have had a wonderful time. For her first time staying with someone I felt felt confident she was in good hands. I will gladly book again.”

“Ashley was great with giving photo updates on my dog’s stay at her home. We met briefly the day before and drop off the morning of was easy! She was flexible with times and was very kind. Would definitely book her again. :)”

“If you want your pup to feel like they are at home Karla’s is the place to send him! She was wonderful with communication and updates- especially when our buddy got sick and she took extra special care to make sure he stayed healthy❤️”

“this was my first time using rover. Beckett watched my mom’s dogs with little notice and cared for them for 5 days while my mom was in the hospital. The dogs came home happy and worn out!! Absolutely will be using again for my own dogs!!”

“After meeting Ashley prior to our dog’s week long stay, we were excited and relieved. She has a love of dogs that is very apparent. While gone we received daily updates with pictures and he was happy and content when I picked him up. Our mini Aussie is high maintenance and a lot to handle but also adorable and fun so it is sometimes difficult to find people willing to take him. We would definitely recommend Ashley to friends and hope she will be willing to watch our dog again in the future.”

“I can't say enough good things about Anne!! I usually leave my 4 yr old dog with my dad and sister, but we have a rambunctious 5 month old puppy, and this is not an option. So for the first time, I "boarded" them both. I would not call this boarding, even though it is by definition. I felt that I'd left them with a trusted friend, totally devoted to their safety and happiness. The pictures and messages were amazing. My concerns about the puppy's separation anxiety were unfounded! They did great! I feel like we should be going back for a visit, because I'm sure they miss Anne and her family! ❤️?”

“Michaela helped us out with watching our lab when other arrangements fell through. Super nice and accommodating. Ezra had a great time and is currently passed out from his big weekend. Always a good sign!! Thanks Michaela!!”

“We loved Debra. & oh my, so did our Buddy Bear. She spoiled him rotten. We will definitely be using Debra again. We highly recommend her. She has a sweet, loving & cozy home. Your pups will love her back yard. ❤️❤️❤️🐶”

“Amazing as always! Jason is the absolute BEST dog sitter we have ever experienced!!! Our dogs came home happy, healthy and well cared for. Jason provided daily updates and pictures making us feel very confident that our dogs always have a great time while staying with him. We will definitely go back again and again. We highly recommend Jason for your fur babies!!!!! A+++++++”

“Janet took wonderful care of my senior pup Shiloh! She sent several photos and video updates of my girl running around in their large backyard, set her up with a cozy spot by the window and made she sure Shiloh got all her medication. I would definitely use Janet’s services again in the future.”

“A-MAZE-ING!!!! Jena communicates e tremely well. We loved getting pics of.our dog while se was staying with Jena. She takes care of dpgs as if they were he own. No concrete kennels, just a home like ours for our older dog to stay in. Our girl was tired but happy from all the attention and socializing!”

“Amanda was great, she sent me pictures of my baby doggie and let me know she was doing great. Amanda has a very nice pet friendly home with a great fenced in back yard and lots of toys to play with. She didn't even use our doggie bed but instead let my baby sleep w her and her daughter. She was great and I will definitely use her again and would highly recommend her to others.”

“Tiffany did a good job with Tilly. Gave a little extra attention. Tilly enjoyed having other little dogs to play with.”

“Cierra was the BEST!!! Oakley had the best time playing with her doodle and stayed active with runs and walks. Cierra sent multiple photos throughout the time I was away with updates of how Oakley was doing and showing the fun he was having ! Not to mention she is the sweetest person!! I would recommend booking with Cierra to anyone who asks and I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future! 😊 Thank you so much, Cierra!!!”

“Cody and Ashley were great with my dog, Louie. I had great communication with both of them during his stay with both texts and photos. I knew from the first meet and greet that Louie would be well taken care of. I will definitely be a repeat customer!”

“This being our first time with Rover - and Josh- and being somewhat late in the planning stage, I was of course a bit nervous, but Josh put us at ease right away. He first offered a Meet-n-Greet where we got to visit him at his home, get to know him a bit, and talk about expectations and our senior dog’s needs. He was flexible with the drop off and pick up scheduling and followed up during our trip with daily text updates and pictures to keep us “in the know”. We joked with our family that our pup wouldn’t want to come home with us because she was being loved on so well. 😊 Being a bit of a high anxiety dog, she often will shed a lot when nervous, but when she arrived home it was obvious to me that she had had a good experience. She was not only bright-eyed and tail wagging, but her coat was shiny and smooth – she was happy and feeling good. As any pet lover would agree, it does a momma’s heart good to know that there is someone out there who will care for your fur-baby with the same, if not better intent than your own. We believe Josh treated our dog with the utmost care, and would definitely reach out to him again if we need a safe place for our pet. ~Thanks Josh!!”

“Rizzo had a great visit with Adela. If your dog likes to play and enjoy an expansive fenced backyard, I encourage you to consider Adela. Communication was great and I appreciated her flexibility. Thank you!”

“Ming looked after my dog for 4 days while I was out of town. It’s always a bit unnerving leaving your loved ones with someone else and I’ve had mixed experiences using Rover, but this was a very positive experience. Ming has a nice house, fenced yard and works from home, so he was able to give my dog a good amount of attention. He was very good about checking in every day and sending photos and, overall, a very responsive communicator. I will most definitely use Ming the next time I need a sitter!”

“Loved the consistent updates and communication on our furbabys. Lot of photos were sent! Thank you so much and we will be coming again soon with us having to do a lot of traveling!”

“Rosie was well cared for and appeared to have so much fun with her new friend, Margot. I was nervous leaving my dog with new pet sitters but, during the first few minutes of meeting Henry and Kaylie, all my concerns disappeared. The pictures they shared while I was gone were reassuring and fun to get. I will be using them again!!”
