Dog Boarding in Story City, IA

“Brooke and Brent were a delight to work with. I admittedly had a last minute booking and they were very gracious. Their family was very welcoing to my dog and they were a delight to with. Very grateful to them and happy to enthusiastically recommend!”

“This was our first experience with a home stay and it was awesome in every way. Steve answered my questions and made drop off so easy. Nellie was immediately comfortable and I left knowing she was going to have a great experience. We got a couple of nice updates during the stay. We have already rebooked for another stay! I 100% recommend Steve and Tilaine. What a wonderful family. Thank you!”

“This was our dog's first boarding experience and we are so grateful to have found Nicole! Our pup needed more time to warm up to the stay than I might have guessed, but Nicole and her family are experienced dog owners and let her settle in on her own terms. She got lots of love during her stay and Nicole sent us several much appreciated updates throughout. Highly recommend!”

About: I know how energetic dogs are, and I am as well so we’re a perfect match! I can keep them entertained while they are also making my day so much brighter! I am a full time student but classes do not take up much of my day! I love to go on long walks and I can entertain any dog for hours. I can do late afternoons and mornings, as well as nights if need be. I have 2 dogs at home, but here at college I do not have any pets. My apartment does allow pets so it would be no problem to have them over:) I also have the option of a fenced in yard if your little pup prefers to run around freely.

About: I’ve been a devoted dog owner since 2009, and my dogs have always been cherished family members. Our home includes two friendly dogs who get along well with others, plus two kids who love being part of the “pack.” We have a secure 6-foot privacy fence for safe playtime, and I can work from home when hosting dogs that need extra attention. Life here is relaxed. Our dogs run and play in the yard, nap on the couch, and soak up attention all day. I work in Ames and can work from home if pups need more company during the workday. My kids love to help with feeding, walks, and snuggles. I am even available during ISU football games to swing by, feed, or let your dog out. In our home, pets are treated like family. Visiting dogs can play safely in our fenced yard, relax on the furniture, and enjoy plenty of supervised attention. I make sure water is always available, follow any feeding or medication instructions, and keep a close eye on interactions with my own dogs to ensure everyone is comfortable. My kids also pitch in with gentle play, walks, and extra snuggles, so your pup will feel right at home.

“Kelly and her family have an amazing home for our pets when we need to leave town without them! I have used Kelly twice now and wouldn’t think twice about using her again. Great backyard and stress free environment for your dogs. Plus they often have other friend staying there as well. Winnie, of course, is a major plus. Thanks again Kelly and family!”

“Tiffany was flexible, communicative, and knowledgeable. I appreciated her willingness to take in my giant breed dog last minute and would highly recommend her to other people.”

“Sam has been great for Hero this summer. Work has taken me away from Iowa for the last couple months and Sam has taken in my little pup when my parents needed to be out of town for a few days at different points. Hero has medication and can be finicky about eating, but Sam handled her care so well and I never felt any worry after meeting her and her husband. Great home environment and lots of pictures. I will definitely reach out again in the future.”

“Amazing boarding experience!!! Erin was wonderful taking on a last minute boarding booking for my girl. She was very attentive to all the details of taking care of my pup and keeping in communication with me before and during my time away. My girl enjoyed snuggles, walks, and meeting Erin’s roommates. I could tell she enjoyed her stay from the photo updates. Whether your pup has a lot of specifics for their care or you just need someone reliable and dependable, Erin is wonderful! Definitely will be booking again in the future. Thank you again Erin!”

“Wendy does a wonderful job with our dog Timmy. He's a bit of a handful but Wendy never minds and is so good with him. She goes above and beyond every time he stays and we're so grateful to have someone we can trust to care for him! Thank you!!”

“Fantastic sitter. Jalyn gave tons of great updates and she got Niko outside with her dog having lots of fun frequently! I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her and would do it again in a heartbeat!”

“Another great stay! Amanda treats our Great Dane Saturn as one of her own! It’s great having someone familiar and comfortable with big dogs!”

“Thanks Jacquelyn and little girls for taking good care of Sultan. He found a great family to stay with when parents are out:😊. Pets stay free and friendly environment. I will definitely recommend her for pet sitting service.”
