Pet Boarding Iona

About: Animals have been the heartbeat of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up on a ranch, I learned early on that caring for animals is a 24/7 commitment that requires patience, hard work, and a sharp eye for detail. From chickens and bunnies to cats and dogs—and even more unique pets like ferrets and birds—I was raised with the understanding that every animal has its own personality and specific needs. My parents gave me my first dog when I was 1, she was best friend till she passed away when I was 17 years old. I learned at a very young age how to care for dogs and all the responsibilities that go along with them. She was by my side, even when she passed. I have owned several more through my adult life and currently have 2 senior pups that have been with us since Itty bitty babies. ​As an animal mom myself, I know exactly how hard it is to head out on vacation. Leaving your fur babies behind and worrying about the level of care they are receiving can be incredibly stressful. Because I understand that bond, I promise that any pet in my care will receive the exact same level of love, attention, and high-standard care that I expect for my own. My goal is to give you total peace of mind; I’m here to make sure your pet’s routine is followed perfectly and their day is a little brighter while you’re away. My husband owns his own business and I am currently taking classes online at home on my own time to get my bachelors degree in accounting so rover fits my schedule perfectly and lets me do something I love. How perfect is that! Care in Your Home (Drop-ins & House Sitting) ​"When I care for your pets in your home, my priority is maintaining their sense of security and routine. I understand that a disruption in their environment can be stressful, so I focus on the details that matter: I stick strictly to your feeding, exercise, and medication schedules. Whether it’s a high-energy game of fetch or quiet snuggles for a senior pet, I’m there to provide genuine companionship, not just a quick visit. ​ ​Care in My Home (Boarding & Daycare) ​"I treat every pet in my home like a member of my own family. My space is a 'pawsitive' environment where your fur baby can feel relaxed and loved while you’re away. Pets are never left unattended and have constant access to fresh water, cozy resting spots, a fenced in back yard, and plenty of affection. Can also crate if needed. Because I’m an 'animal mom,' I know that some pets need extra reassurance. I provide a calm, organized space where they can settle in quickly. Drawing on my years of experience growing up on a ranch, I am highly observant of animal behavior and health. I keep a close eye on their appetite, energy levels, and overall well being. You’ll receive regular photos and updates so you can see exactly how much fun your pet is having, letting you enjoy your time away worry-free."

“William was great to work with as a sitter. He responded quickly to my request and helped adjust dates as needed. We set up a meet and greet and met him and his family and their dog. They were great!”

“Natalia and her family took very good care of Bodie and gave me good updates on how he was doing during his stay with them. I look forward to using her again to watch Bodie.”

Linda G.

“Alexandra was amazing with our pup Winsor. He’s a senior with all kinds of medications and needing extra potty breaks. She was so great to accommodate and love him like he was her own. She kept us updated throughout his stay and provided all kinds of pictures. Would highly recommend!”

Chelsea D.

“We left our border collie pup for 3 nights /4 days and everything was great! We loved getting the picture updates and felt assured our dog was getting all her needs met. Usually she struggles the first day somewhere new, but she was completely comfortable and didn’t have the separation anxiety we anticipated. She also loved playing with their dog, who taught her how to relax :) 10/10 would use Ryan & Rebekah again.”

Kandace W.

“Kylie and Nathan took great care of our golden doodle. We really appreciated all the pictures and updates! We would definitely use them again!”

Mike And Joni D.

“June sent photos and annedotes all the time she had Benny. The contacts relieved my mind of his care. He probably had better care than I give him.🥰”

About: I have taken care of many animals, I have pet sat in homes that have 1 dog up to 5 dogs and other farm animals. I will treat every animal like they are my own, and give them all the love and care they need! I am a teacher who is off for summer break so I will be home every day, I do leave the house but for now longer than 3 hours at a time as we have our own dog. I have had experience in many different homes caring for animals. We have a fenced yard and when your animal is here they will be supervised at all times or in their crate to keep them safe.

“Buster loves going to Christine’s place. He gets so excited when we pull up to her house. That’s a great relief when we have to leave him knowing he is in good hands!”

Marsha S.

“Our dog had such a great time! We’ll be asking her again! Thank you so much!”

Lana P.

“Kortni was phenomenal with my senior dog, Mamut. She treated her with so much love and care and kept me updated with pics and news. Mamut has gotten a bit more anxious as she has aged and Kortni was very understanding and compassionate for my ole gal. Thank you Kortni! I appreciate you so much!”

About: I currently own husky, responsibilities include walking and running her. Feeding her and making sure she has water throughout the day. I've grown up with dogs my whole life and have been the soul caretaker. I'm currently working a part time job and doing online courses. I'm free throughout the day anywhere from 7am until 6pm day time I'm also available for overnight stay if needed. I make sure they have water throughout the day. I usually take my dogs on a walk at least three times a day. Definitely love giving attention to any pets.

“Jaylin was amazing! She loved on my pup as much as I do, sent pictures and videos, and sent updates. While we were on vacation he had a fun vacation too with Jaylin :) Will be using her again.”

Summer A.

“Camile & Aaron were amazing! They were super easy to communicate with and very accommodating. They sent pictures and videos of my dogs during their stay, and overall took great care of them. I would definitely recommend them! 😊”

Lexie H.

“Jaralee was so amazing, I felt completely at ease leaving our dog with her! She spoiled her and sent pictures letting us know how our pup was doing which I appreciated so much. She was also really flexible with our time coming home, as we were on an emergency family trip and weren't exactly sure of our return. We will definitely use Jaralee again if need be!!”

I’ll keep them company and make sure they are comfortable, safe, and having fun!
