Dog Boarding in Otley, IA

“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.”

“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)!”

“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!!”

“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! 🙂”

“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.”

“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.

“Her and her fiancé came in clutch for us when we had a last minute trip! Our dog was extremely happy when we picked her up. I loved that Priscilla sent me daily updates and lots of pictures! Very big yard space. They were amazing people and very big animal lovers. Your dogs will be in good hands!”

“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.

“MacKenzie was amazing to work with! She was so kind and was very responsive! She was also very flexible with drop off and pick up. I was visiting the area and TWO sitters cancelled (one cancelled the week before and the second cancelled the morning of scheduled drop off). MacKenzie (I am not sure why she didn't come up on my initial search) was so amazing in this stressful time and with our last minute request. During Moose's stay, she sent pictures and kept me updates on how he was doing. That communication was so comforting and appreciated. I definitely recommend MacKenzie!”

Amy B.

“Carmen was great. She's a very sweet and caring person. She has a beautiful place out in the country. And I needed a place for my pomeranian to stay at the last minute for a long weekend and she was willing to take him.”

Diana C.

“We had a great experience boarding our dogs with JoAnne! Your dogs will feel right at home. She is a true dog lover. She kept in touch with lots of updates and pictures. Very satisfied with our boarding experience.”

“Haley was warm, patient, attentive and responsible when she took care of our dogs. That she had a Golden Retriever puppy made my dogs love her even more. I wouldn't hesitate to have her care for our dogs again.”

“My dog warmed up to Autumn right away, and Autumn excitedly welcomed her into her home. She took her on long walks even when the weather was not very nice. She kept in contact with me throughout the day to keep me posted on how my dog was doing. They became good buddies.”
