About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life! I hope to one day own my own doggy daycare, large enough for 30+ pups! It’s been a lifelong dream of mine to work with animals everyday. I promise to take very good care of yours while they’re in my care. I will send photos, videos and updates as often as you’d like while I have them. I work as a Nursing Assistant at the hospital here in Mason City, I'm also a full-time student at NIACC going to get a degree in Mental Health Counseling. I take my own dog on 2 walks every single day and have room in my day for many more! While boarding they’ll go on plenty of walks throughout the night/day and will get as much attention as they would if they were my own.


11. Baylea M.

“Baylea and her family watched my dog and I don't think he has ever been happier! They sent me photos everyday and he had all the space he needed to run and play. I would definitely recommend them to anyone!”
