Dog Boarding in Kalona, IA

“Melia and Ben were great sitters for our two mini goldendoodles. They sent us daily pics, and we came home to happy dogs. Thanks to you both!”

“I had to leave the country for about 3 weeks due to my personal business and I asked Jason as always to care for my babies. I heard the weather was crazy here in Iowa on the first week of February, to the point where cars couldn't move. He notified me thoroughly throughout the whole 3 weeks which made me very comfortable. When I was out of contact due to time difference/internet issue, he still kept helping me out with suggestions and waited for me to respond which could've been a long burden. He truly TRULY cares about the pets, not because of business but from his heart. I really appreciate your help Jason. Thank you so much for the great care.”

“FANTASTIC! She took our pup on a last minute issue we had 1-1/2 before Christmas. That alone was awesome. Considering we are out of towners. She sent us many pictures to keep us uodated, and at ease leaving our pup with a total stranger. Highly recommended. If you’re going to Riverside Casino, she is nearby. Thank you so much.”

“We are so lucky to have found Gina! From the first few minutes of our meet and greet I knew she would be the perfect one to watch Winston. We could tell he had the best time because she sent tons of picture and video updates, which eased a lot of anxiety around leaving him in a new place. We will 100% be booking with Gina again!”

“Thank you Ginger Ann for watching over Lucky and taking such good care of him! He came home happy and exhausted, a good sign that he enjoyed his time with you! We can’t wait to book with you again!”

“Thank you so much Morgan for watching Ben and Rosie! She was an amazing sitter and went great lengths to ensure they enjoyed their stay. From daily walks, trips to the dog park, and cuddle time in bed, Morgan went above and beyond. She sent daily pictures of the two and kept us updated. We will definitely be using her again!”

“Joy and her two chihuahuas welcomed Kili to their home and took great care of him for a week while we took a vacation. She was prompt, flexible, and willing to drive to us to pick him up/drop him off. Will definitely use Joy’s services the next time we plan a trip!”

“Adela was great as always! She took great care of Ollie, sent frequent pictures, and was flexible when travel plans changed. We love knowing that our dog is in good hands when we are away!”

“Lori was incredible from beginning to the end. She was flexible about drop off and about pick up. Unfortunately, I had gotten sick and she was accommodating about picking up Cookie a day later. She gave us regular updates and photos of Cookie during the day. Overall, I appreciate how well she took her care of Cookie during his stay and her flexibility.”

“We had the best experience with Trish! She watched our two goldendoodles for two weeks while we were away. She sent several photo updates everyday - of them getting snuggles, playing fetch in their backyard, getting yummy homemade treats - which showed that she was taking such great care of our pups. Trish even brushed our dogs routinely which we didn’t ask her to do! She was so warm, welcoming, responsive, and trustworthy from the first message to the final pickup. She clearly adores dogs, well definitely book her again and we would strongly recommend her to anyone!”

“My dog loved it. Received lots of pics and updates. Next time I need someone to watch my dog , I’ll definitely use Yiqing and Xuan again”

“An AMAZING sitter. Is extremely professional, friendly and accommodating. Worked with me on short notice to help with a scheduling issue that forced me to drop off my pup a bit earlier than discussed and sent me daily pictures while I was away. 100/100 would absolutely work with her again.”

“Maggie had a wonderful time at Katrina’s once again! It was so comforting to know she was well taken care of while we were gone.”

“If you want your pup to feel like they are at home Karla’s is the place to send him! She was wonderful with communication and updates- especially when our buddy got sick and she took extra special care to make sure he stayed healthy❤️”

“Jake was fantastic with Stewie and Oscar - he made various accommodations for our cat who took some time adjusting to a new environment. Our dog, Stewie, made himself at home and had a great time hanging with Walter, Scout, and Jake. Highly recommend! Thank you so much ?”

“As first time users Tabitha helped us feel comfortable and her dog Sushi welcomed our 2 dogs into their home. We appreciated the daily updates on their hijinks and they seemed very much at home when we came back for them. Good access to outdoor space, walks, and cuddles.”

“Brittney took excellent care of our two dogs and bearded dragon during our time away. She walked our dogs daily and made sure all their needs were met. She took time to come and meet our dogs before we left, which we really appreciated. She communicated well and even helped us identify a health issue with one of our dogs. We will definitely reach out to Brittney for future stays and we highly recommend her to anyone that needs a pet sitter!”

“Robert was available short notice to watch Lily. He sent me pictures and updates of Lily throughout her stay, and even took her to the dog park numerous times! He went above and beyond to make sure Lily felt comfortable and well-cared for. I will definitely book with Robert again!”

“Auden did a great job caring for Buddy. I was a little nervous about finding the right place for Buddy because he's a senior rescue who's used to being an only dog. I wanted a petsitter who understood him. He was a little nervous when I left him and Auden was great at proactively contacting me and letting me know how Buddy was doing that first night. He had some stomach issues that she worked on by adjusting his food and responded to his preference for time outside in the sunshine. I was very pleased with Buddy's care and Auden's professionalism and communication. We will hire her again.”
