Dog Boarding in Minburn, IA

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats all my life. I have owned dogs ranging in different sizes and breeds: St. Bernard, Maremma Sheepdog, Boxer, Cocker Spaniel, German Shorthair Pointer, and Hush Basset. I have experience with Ragdoll, Himalayan, and Persian cat breeds. Also have experience with rabbits, sugar gliders, geckos, and guinea pigs. We are a family that loves animals, and we would be happy and grateful to love on yours while they are in our care! I am a stay at home mom so I have a fairly flexible schedule, and am available to pet sit most any day of the week. I have 3 female dogs that are all very friendly, and get along well with other dogs and cats. We do not have a fenced in yard, but we do have a cable, and an outdoor kennel run for dogs that would like some outside time.

“Deuce had a great time with Leila and his new doggie pals over the Easter weekend. Leila was very responsive with updates and videos of Deuce.”

“Lara and Cary were so great with our dog, Nola! It was our first time leaving her after an incident at a local kennel this summer so we were worried and anxious. They sent several photos and updates and put our minds at ease. She had a nice, relaxing stay and we will definitely use them again and again!!”

“So kind and welcoming. Went above and beyond with communication and making sure my dog was comfortable and happy.”

“Maria kept in touch and sent pics and videos multiple times each day giving me the peace of mind that our dog was going well while we were on vacation. Her family showed our dog the same love he would receive at home. I managed to mess up our pick-up day but she was understanding and flexible. I highly recommend Maria and will be reaching out again next time we need a sitter.”

“I had a fabulous time staying with Patty and her family! Doggie Vacation Time is the best. I can’t wait to go back again. And my mom was so happy I had such a great time while she was out of town on a work trip. ♥️ Bailey Sue 🐶🐾 (and her dog mom Beth 👩🏼‍💻)”

“Couldn't ask for a better house to leave my girl at. She had a blast with Juno (the house pup) and the constant updates gave us peace of mind. Thank you Brianna. We will definitely leave our girl with you any time we need to.”

“Highly recommend booking a stay with Samantha and her husband. Right away they were very welcoming and all my nerves of leaving my dog were at ease. She makes sure to send multiple pictures each day and provided updates on how Charlie was doing each day and night as well as the activities they did! Will definitely book Charlie another stay with Samantha when I need to leave town again!!”

“Sheri was amazing! She kept me updated on my dog the entire time! She asked what kind of treats my dog liked and kept her feeling safe during the 4th of July weekend! I highly recommend Sheri and her family to watch over your 4 legged children!”

“Macklin enjoyed his time with Michelle and Mark. He got along great with their two pups. He even helped celebrate their 3rd birthday with pup cupcakes and treats. I would recommend to anyone and we will definitely bring Macklin back.”

“Milli had a great weekend with Erin & Chris! They spoiled her while she was there! She also was very relaxed even after she returned home! I would definitely recommend them and appreciate that they limit the number of dogs at one time! Thanks Erin & Chris!”

“I have booked with Jessica a few times now and recommend her to anyone looking for top notch care for their pet. This most recent time I did not realize that my pup had a broken nail before dropping her off and Jessica saw it right away, took her to the vet, and went above and beyond to care for her during her week long stay. Also, my flight back to Des Moines was extremely delayed and Jessica was super accommodating and understanding. Jessica is incredibly responsive and I trust her completely with my dog Iommi. Whether you need a daycare stay or extended stay, Jessica is the person to book with. Thank you so much again Jessica!”

“These guys are great! Very caring & attentive! Sent us a few pics while we were gone that put our minds at ease & even took Coco for a walk. Looking forward to them keeping her next time. Thank you for the great care of Coco!!”

“As always Jen and her family were amazing with Shiva! I was a bit worried about the storm over the weekend making Shiva's anxiety worse but Jen gave her the extra attention she needed to put her (and myself) at ease. We also needed to extend the stay since the storm shifted our plans and Jen was more than accommodating. I highly highly recommend her and her family to anyone looking for your dog to be treated like she's part of the family!”

“Freya had the best week with Scott and Jess! If you’ve got a pup that loves to play, look no further for the best boarding experience. From the meet and greet, it was clear that Scott and Jess have dog boarding down to a science. They have a great space for it, and dogs are clearly their passion. After that, drop off was a breeze, even for us teary eyed owners. We received picture updates every day, and we could see the joy and care in each one. Freya experienced a doggie birthday party, time in the pool, and running with the pack around the yard. Since picking her up, she’s been out like a light! We couldn’t recommend Scott and Jess more—they took the anxious/guilty feeling of leaving our pup behind for vacation and turned it into “Freya’s on vacation, too!””

“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.”

“Shawna and her family watched our lab while we were out of the country and we felt very good about leaving her with them! She gave us great updates and our lab loved having space to run and play.”

“Our dogs enjoyed their time with Alok and his family. They were well taken care of and we’ll definitely use Alok again to take care of our fur babies while we are gone.”

“Jeffrey and Nicole took great care of our dog Beau! Played fetch with him and even took care of an unexpected ear infection right before we left. They sent us updates just the right amount. We will definitely use them again!”

“Cliff is a wonderful dog sitter. He has watched our 2 dogs in his home on 3 different occasions. Once did a weekend and twice for 2 week long vacations. Cliff is great in communicating with us with texts, pictures and videos during their stay. Our pups come home happy and relaxed.”
