Dog Boarding in Forest City, IA

About: Hi, our names are Amanda and Avery, a mother/daughter team! We have pets and love them dearly! We know what it’s like to struggle to find someone to watch our pets, who will love them as much as we do. We want to be for other people, what we’ve been looking for! ♥️ We are willing to drop by your home, feed, water, and play with your pet(s). We look forward to serving you soon! We home educate so we will have plenty of flexibility to play with you pups on days, nights, and weekends. Thank you for you time and consideration. We have two dogs and a bunny, and we know every animal requires something different. It is our joy to make sure each animal’s unique needs are met.

“Very grateful for another great stay with Aaron, this time with both of our dogs! They are happy and tired from lots of playing. We can’t thank you enough for caring for our dogs like they are your own!”

“5/5 🤩 Nansy is awesome! Very nice person and accommodating, helping us out in a pinch when our usual sitters fell thru. Our senior pupper needs special care, so it was a true relief when we met with Nansy and she asked a lot of questions, going the extra mile to make sure our pup had a comfortable stay. Would definitely book her again if needed. Thank you Nansy!!”

“Madison is very generous, caring, and understanding. Norman came home freshly bathed and tuckered out. He slept the entire 2.5 hour car ride back home!”

“Stephanie is absolutely wonderful with my dogs! Initially it was drop ins/walks with my black lab approximately 2 years ago, this past year I got a 12 week puppy so they started going to Stephanie’s house for daycare to meet the puppies consistent needs! If we load into the car at 5:45 am they know they are going to Stephanie’s house and get very excited! Sometimes they go for just the day, other times they go for a couple nights! They always come home exhausted from all the playing they’ve been doing! Her communication is excellent, I receive photos and feedback frequently throughout the day when they are there! I highly recommend Stephanie!”

“Hailey took care of our chocolate lab, Julius, for two weeks while we were away. Hailey was a great communicator and very responsive the entire time - even sending photos and updates. When we picked Julius up he was content and happy. He seemed to have fit in well with her family and dogs. I would definitely recommend Hailey. Your pup will be in good hands.”

“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!”

About: I've had dogs for most of my life. I've adopted from rescues and love making my pets feel safe and loved. My current dog is a senior male who's very sweet. He gets lonesome so it would be nice to have dog friends visit. I'm patient and kind. We love to go on walks and relax iny gated yard. I work full-time but I'm very close to work and come home every day during lunch to let my dog have some yard time. We go for a walk at night to get outdoors. I have a senior dog and a nice fenced backyard for them to roam around. My dog is allowed on furniture and sleeps with me.

About: I have owned animals since 2020 and still have quite a bit of animals at home! i just got a certificate for dog grooming and graduated at Niacc for that. Soon I will be open to the public hopefully for dog grooming. I have loved animals since I was young and took care of them since 2020 I still currently own animals and always will I have my cats and dogs I have been taking care of for a while now. I'm available on Mostly on wed,Thur,Fri and Saturdays. I will take potty for mostly every 6 hrs or more and give them a good amount of attention and make sure they are doing good. I have them leashed in the front yard till I get a fence built. Have there good available all the time and water and not kenneled unless naughty. I try to give them as much attention as I can!

About: I've been dog sitting on and off since my 20's. Most were co-workers and family. I walked, bathed, brushed and given medicine, both orally and topical as required. I'm currently retired and can dog sit 7 days a week with advance notice. I can also day board as early as 7am and pick up as late as 6pm. If different hours are needed I can be flexible. I have a very large home where your dog can roam freely inside. However, I don't have a fenced in yard. I do have a secure tie line attached to my home. Your dog will never be left outside by themselves as I will be there with them.

“Mickey had really a nice time staying. Thank you so much for your care and also your flexibility in hours.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience with both young and senior pets, including those with medical needs. I’ve cared for my parents’ dog after a major surgery, which involved giving medications, monitoring recovery, and making sure he stayed calm and comfortable. I’ve also watched my aunt’s senior dog and her kittens, so I understand the different care routines, energy levels, and attention each age group needs. I’m very patient, responsible, and always make sure pets feel safe and loved in my care. I work full time from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m., which gives me plenty of availability in the afternoons, evenings, and on weekends for pet care. I’m very organized and plan my schedule around the needs of the pets I’m caring for. Whether it’s evening visits, feeding, litter box cleaning, or just spending quality time with them, I always make sure they get the attention they need. In my home, I make sure pets have a safe, calm, and clean environment where they can feel comfortable and relaxed. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications they may need. I also make sure they have quiet spaces to rest and lots of attention and love throughout the day. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect I would my own. I stick closely to their normal routine to help reduce stress, keep everything tidy, and make sure the pets feel secure in their own space. I give regular updates so owners know how their pets are doing and can feel at ease while they’re away.

About: I’ve cared for a variety of pets over the years, including dogs of all ages. I have hands-on experience with puppies who need structure and patience, as well as senior dogs who require extra attention, medication, and a gentle touch. Whether it’s going for long walks, playtime, or just providing comfort and companionship, I genuinely love caring for animals and making sure they feel safe and happy. What sets me apart is my attention to detail and calm, caring nature. I treat every pet like they’re my own, taking time to learn their personality. I’m reliable, communicative, and always go the extra mile to make sure both pets and their owners feel comfortable. I fit pet care into my routine during my free time, usually in the mornings and evenings during the week, and more flexible on weekends. I ensure a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment. I build trust through gentle handling, consistent routines, and lots of affection. I follow specific care instructions and prioritize the pet’s comfort and well-being.
