Dog Boarding in Newton

“Absolutely perfect experience. We were going to be in Ames for a night and needed a sitter for our two boys. Jenevieve was awesome. Friendly and personable and had a great environment for the dogs. Couldn’t have asked for anything more!!!! We are after nervous leaving them with someone we haven’t used before but when we dropped them off we could tell immediately they were in GREAT HANDS. Would 100% recommend her to anyone.”

“We had a great experience leaving our 11 month old mastiff with Sam and her family. It was our first time ever having to leave a pet with a non relative and they eased our nerves and lovingly welcomed our dog into their home. We are so appreciative of their love for our big puppy and if the situation arises, we would definitely use Sam’s services again.”

“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!!”

“Madison was great with my two doodles!! She was consistent with sending me updates and photos over the weekend while I was out of town. My dogs and her lab got along great as well, so that’s always a plus! I have already booked their next stay with her later this month 🙌🏻”

“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.”

“After reading several stellar reviews, I decided to contact Maggie to schedule time for her to kitty-sit my cat, Pebbles. I wasn't quite sure of the time frame to reserve because I didn't know when exactly I would be returning home. Maggie assured me it would be no problem if I needed an extra day. I did, in fact, request an additional day because when I returned home, I was too tired to drive across town to pick up my cat. Maggie said it was fine which I really appreciated! Before I brought Pebbles to Maggie's, I informed her that I wasn't sure how well she would interact with other animals because there are no other pets in my home. Maggie said not to worry and that she has space to separate pets if needed. As anticipated, the next day, Maggie texted to inform me that Pebbles was a bit stressed and did not appreciate the other animals. She kept Pebbles away from the other pets to keep everyone safe and comfortable. Maggie was very good about texting updates and pictures of Pebbles throughout my trip. This was definately peace of mind for me. I have never used a pet sitter before. While on trips, I have either taken my pets to the vet, family, or friends have come to my house to care for them. I was very pleased with Maggie taking care of Pebbles and will definately use her again in the future! I highly recommend Maggie to take care of your pet(s)!”

“Graeme and Kirsty took excellent care of Lola. This was Lola's first stay with Graeme and Kirsty and we will be definitely be using them again. Graeme kept us updated with daily pictures and notes on how Lola was doing. Lola also got along with their sweet dog Mia. Lola loved going for long walks. When we picked Lola up she was a tired and happy pup. My husband and I highly recommend Graeme to take care of your fur baby.”

Katie S.

“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 amazing and I highly recommend her. She was great with Kinnick! She sent texts and pictures to keep me informed. She was flexible with drop off and pick up times. Kinnick seemed very happy when I picked him up. I would use Crystal again!!”

Jody K.

“Sadie loved her stay, with Kim and her family! Kim does a great job of updating you daily, and also sends pics daily, as well! They took great care of our fur baby, and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a dog sitter! 🙂”

Carolyn S.

“She was very accommodating and great communication. We had just one of our pups with her and If we are ever back in the area we would feel very comfortable leaving our pups with her. Great yard and relaxed area. If you are looking for a person in this area you will not be disappointed.”

Steve T.

“I seriously cannot recommend her enough! I was absolutely amazed by how well my dog adapted to her and loved her!! She is so sweet and an amazing person all around! Book her now!”

Brittney H.

“Jaden did an amazing job with Jax! Jaden was very attentive and accommodating, he treated him as if his own. I also appreciated the regular communication and updates with pics/vids! Jax had some jitters at first (he can be an anxious little guy), but Jaden’s patience, high engagement, and care soon brought Jax around to being the happy pup that he is. Jax truly enjoyed his stay with Jaden and I know the little guy would be excited to stay with him again!”

James S.

“Priscilla was great to work with and our Pitbull, Star, loved her time with Priscilla and her dogs! We booked last minute and Priscilla was able to quickly get a meet and greet scheduled to see if it was a good fit. We got tons of pictures, videos and communication during our stay and could tell Star was in GREAT hands and was a happy girl the whole time. Our return home was in the air due to travel and Priscilla was very flexible and ok with our pick up time remaining flexible. Our dog was in great hands and well taken care of with Priscilla!”

Jessica S.

“Sasha is amazing, and pepper is comfortable and loves her. She always sends update wherever she is watching pepper. Will always continue to rebook”

Eni A.

“Natasha was wonderful and did well with Winston! I will definitely let her watch Winston again!”

Kelsey D.

“Kristy was great! She was very responsive & made us feel very comfortable having our goldendoodle stay overnight. She provided photos which was nice as well.”

Allison K.

“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!”

Beth J.

“Jody (Jolene) was very quick to respond and took great care of our lab! He had double ACL surgery in previous years so she ensured he was not roughhousing with other pets. Thank you!”
