Dog Boarding in Goddard, IA

“Chris and Erin were fantastic with Arya. They sent pictures daily and they definitely treated her like their own. She had a blast and hopes to have more play dates in the future. Thank you so much for caring for our girl♡”

“Jenevieve was everything you could want in a pet sitter! We left our dog and cat with her while we were gone for a week. They both thrived and got loved on by the whole family. She followed feeding instructions to a “T” and gave them so much loving and attention. We will definitely book with her again! Can’t recommend enough.”

Daette L.

“Gracie loves coming over and Jessica is her favorite! She treats our dog like family and did an awesome job of sending pics almost nightly. She’s always top of our list! ❤️”

Heather H.

“Alice is absolutely amazing ! As soon as we dropped Benji off, we felt like he was in the best hands! This was one of the first times we were away from him this long and Alice made us feel so at ease and reassured throughout the whole trip! I’ve found a permanent dog-sitter in Alice ! I highly recommend and appreciate you, Alice ! Thank you for everything !!”

“We are very happy with the care our Dachshund mix, Sophie received from Lisa and Dennis. Our girl is very timid and not friendly with strangers. They worked with her and in the short time she was with them, started to open up a bit. We will definitely try to schedule with them in the future if the need arises!”

Carole J.

“Despite fairly short notice (the sitter we'd expected to use became unavailable), Cory was very flexible and easy to work with. It was obvious at the meet & greet that Molly was going to be in good hands and fit in fine with Cory's own pets. He sent daily update messages and lots of pics, which put me at ease being out of state during Molly's stay. We will definitely consider rebooking with Cory for future trips!”

About: I have spent my entire life around animals, especially larger, older dogs. I am home full time while classes are online and am very flexible with sitting times. I am currently taking classes online for the summer, so I have plenty of time to take care of your furry friends! I tend to be busier on the weekends but if you give enough time in advance I am pretty flexible. I live in an apartment complex, and don't have a yard, so animals will have to be leashed when outside. I do not have a lot of space, so smaller animals are preferred, especially for longer stays.

“We’re very happy with Madison as a dogsitter. She communicates well and often with pictures and videos. She took care of our dog Penny for the day, and Penny enjoyed a walk and snuggles. Penny and Madison’s dog got along well. He was playful but knew when to back off. We’d be happy to work with her again! I definitely recommend her.”

Carolyn R.

“Absolutely the best sitter I could have found. Spoiled my dog to the point he expects more from home now :). He has separation anxiety and she accommodated his every need and did everything to make him feel just like he is at home, she even let him sleep in her bed with her. I cannot recommend Casandra enough.”

Chris H.

“Amazing!! Samantha took great care of my dog and was always interested in learning more ways she could show him love while boarding him! Even though my dog tends to be shy and have a hard time warming up around new people, he LOVED spending time with her and her dogs. Every picture and video she sent was filled with lots of tail wags and smiles. Definitely would book with her 100 more times.”

Cheyenne M.

“She was amazing. Gave pictures and updates all the time. My dogs were so relaxed and excited when they left. You can really tell they care and love all animals just like their own! 10/10 would recommend. Definitely will be using her again.”

Amber L.

“It was our dogs' first time staying with someone other than family, so we were a bit nervous at first... but upon meeting, we were immediately put at ease. Our dogs had a blast and were absolutely treated with the same love and snuggles our family gives. We loved the updates, and both dogs came home ready for a long nap from lots of playtime with their new friends. We are grateful and will definitely use Mackenzie and Anthony again!! Thank you, thank you!!”

Maggie S.

“My baby boy had a fantastic overnight with Bailee and her fur babies. It's so important that I know Tootie is comfortable and loved in my absence. I watched as Tootie entered the home. He walked around, sniffing. I saw that Tootie was comfortable. Bailee sent pictures and many comical comments. She brought many smiles to my face. Thank you Bailee for loving Tootie.”

Carolyn M.

“Amber made us feel very comfortable with leaving our dog. She sent us videos and pictures daily with updates to let us know he was doing well. It was evident. If needed, we will definitely book with her again in the future.”

Amber M.

“Nicole (and her family) took the best care of Margot while our family was at Disney. She communicated and organized a meet up with plenty of time in advance and made sure I was comfortable. She answered the many questions I had and it was obvious how much she loved having dogs in her home. From the minute Margot was in her care, I received pictures and videos. Her entire family loved on Margot and even with an unexpected health issue during Margot’s stay, I never doubted she was being loved. Can’t wait to have Margot stay with them again!”

Kelly E.

“Kim and her family have been so welcoming and patient toward our dog that can be skittish toward people and other dogs. It gives us such a peace of mind when we drop her off, we'd definitely recommend!”

Brittany H.

“This family took such well care of our boys while away! The updates and photos were so great! There was an incident that occurred and we were given all the details, updates, and even offered support from them! Will definitely choose them again!”

Madison B.

“Crystal is a life saver and an amazing sitter to my little buddy Cade. She treats him like one of her own and cares for him so much. I appreciate her and her husband Ben so much I’m watching my little guy.”

I follow routines closely, keep a clean and hazard-free space, and always treat pets with kindness, patience, and respect. I take trust seriously; communicating clearly, sharing regular updates, and making sure you feel confident that your furry friend is in caring, capable hands at all times.

“Wow, can not say enough about Leah and her family! So professional and knowledgeable, gave me updates, and photos! Their dog was bigger than our puppy and they were very professional keeping them separated most of the time but let them have a little play together time after draining the bigger dog energy a bit, which again, just speaks to how well they know dog behavior! Absolutely 💯 will utilize Leah again in the future for pup sitting!”
