Pet Boarding in Gilbert

About: In addition to having dogs and cats as my childhood pets, I also worked with the Puppy Jake Foundation training service dogs for wounded veterans for two years, and spent a summer interning at Kawa Farms K-9 Training. I have always adored all pets, but dogs and cats have a special place in my heart! I’m spending the summer in Ames and have a flexible schedule, so I’m available for last-minute bookings, frequent walks, overnight care, and lots of attention/playtime. I’m working part-time remotely over the summer, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for pets. I typically work about 4–5 hours on weekdays, leaving me with lots of availability for drop-in visits, walks, boarding, daycare, and overnight sitting. Because I spend most of my time at home, I’m able to give pets lots of attention, supervision, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I also have flexibility for early morning, evening, and weekend care, and I’m happy to accommodate pets’ normal routines as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and cared for. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for based on their individual routine and needs. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, medication instructions, and any specific preferences owners share with me. In my home, pets would have plenty of attention, supervision, and space to relax indoors. I do have an unfenced yard, so all outdoor time would be supervised and pets would always be kept safely on a leash when outside. In clients’ homes, I do my best to maintain pets’ normal routines to help them feel comfortable while their owners are away. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, cuddles, updates/photos, and lots of companionship throughout the visit. I also make sure the home stays clean and secure while I’m there.

“Our dog sitter canceled on us last minute before we left the country. Amy and Casey were very accommodating, took our dog in the next day and sent us many pictures, updates and even bathed our dog when he got into the mud. Would definitely use them again.”

“I had to leave my dog for a week while I was on vacation, and Jodi did an amazing job making sure she felt comfortable, safe, and loved while I was away. I came home to a happy and relaxed dog, and I truly appreciated the updates/pictures she provided throughout the week!”

“Tucker had a great time at Teija’s house! He got plenty of exercise and attention! He was a tired pup when we got him back😂 His favorite part was playing with Skye and the kids!”

About: I am an avid animal lover who worked as a vet tech for five years. My spouse and teenage girls are also animal lovers! We LOVE to have animal visitors! We have small dogs of our own who enjoy making new pet friends. I am a full-time nurse with very flexible hours and my spouse is home all summer! My teenagers are also available to help with our guests. We have a fenced in yard, and love to take our dogs for walks. Our dogs are very friendly with other cats and dogs. We have a special needs dog, so we are very comfortable with giving medications and other special needs.

“Leo had a great time with Johanna! It was kind of a late notice trip and she was able to accommodate having Leo for 4 days. So nice having someone local and right here in town. She sent a pic each day and let me know how he was doing. He will be very excited to go back when we need to board him again! Leo gives a 5 paw rating! ??”

“We absolutely loved having our Weimaraner, Hollis stay with Jacquelyn and her family! We felt so comfortable leaving her and Hollis enjoyed her time with them as well! There was never a doubt that she was safe and in excellent hands with them. We will definitely be rebooking with Jacquelyn every time we need to leave our Hollis.”

“Colleen was amazing! She was flexible and responsive throughout the whole process and shared photos during boarding. Most importantly, she was great to our pup! We highly recommend using her if you’re looking to board!”

Anthony T.

“Nicole and her family were so great with our 6 month old cavachon. They loved on her like she was their own. We knew from our first visit to their home, that they were a perfect fit! Piper was so worn out from all the love and attention she received, she fell asleep on our 5 minute drive home. We will definitely be back!”

Kristen G.

“Angus received All-Star treatment from the whole family! I appreciated the pictures, up-dates, and the meet-and-greet we scheduled a few days before we left. I look forward to returning when we go on vacation this summer!”

Cindy C.

“My pups came home very tired! Sign of a good time? Not sure but they sure were quiet & slept a lot! Cristina said they did well & she would gladly take them again. The house was nice & spacious. I enjoyed the pictures, just wished there were a few more.”

Beverly L.

“Me and my baby boy Stewie love Savannah! She took the time to get to know Stewie and asked questions to provide great care. She has excellent communication, sent pics and provided updates on how he was doing. Stewie is a small senior dog and enjoyed the company of her two dogs. Savannah is very flexible scheduling drop off and pick up. She is a very caring and welcoming person and I would definitely use her again!”

Tina W.

“We will absolutely use Kati again! She stepped in at the last minute to care for our guy when our last sitter we were used to didn’t respond. Not only did she make him feel comfortable immediately but she kept our mind at ease all week with multiple updates and pics. Her girls are great with him too. Overall, I think he was treated just like he would be at home which brought us so much comfort during a stressful situation. Thank you Kati!”

Melisa B.

“We’re so grateful to have Elizabeth sit for Rusty when the other sitter canceled our booking in the last minute! Elizabeth provided outstanding care for Rusty and ensured that Rusty’s needs be met while spoiling him as well. She also sent a bunch of pictures and videos of Rusty that we enjoyed so much! Her acreage yard allowed Rusty to run around and exercise as he loves to be outside! Thank you so much for your care! Highly recommended and will definitely use the service again in the future!”

Amelia K.

“Amber was easy to get a hold of and responded quickly to messages. She was welcoming and shared updates.”

Amanda W.

“Jen and her family were so welcoming, caring, and loving to my Buddy. They went above and beyond to meet his quirks about hard floors and let him eat on the rug. He’s adjusting to being home well which tells me he felt comfortable and cared for during his stay.”

Kay A.

“Very kind and patient people. We have a big dog with high energy level and they did amazing!”

Abby K.

“Jolene is so wonderful and patient with our rescue Kara who is quite timid and anxious. Thank you so much for making accommodations for her unique situation each time we have to go away.”

“Cynthia did a great job of making Ollie feel welcome and accommodating his needs! She communicated promptly and sent a video. I would recommend her services!”
