Dog Boarding in Swanwood, IA

“Jen is amazing! Watched my girl last minute for a week. Jen is very communicative, sent a bunch of pictures and kept me updated on how my girl was doing! Definitely recommend Jen! ?”

“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.”

“Jaden did a great job with our dogs. You can tell he is an animal lover! Both of my dogs came back content. He told me they were great, which always makes my heart smile. Thanks Jaden!”

“My dog was well cared for and very loved. She sent pics during his stay to show how happy he was. The only issue was on our return day. I texted to see if we could pick him up after midnight, and never received a reply all day and phone calls went straight to voicemail. So I was worried something had happened to her. All was fine in the end, but it was concerning.”

About: I have spent my entire life around animals, especially larger, older dogs. I am home full time while classes are online and am very flexible with sitting times. I am currently taking classes online for the summer, so I have plenty of time to take care of your furry friends! I tend to be busier on the weekends but if you give enough time in advance I am pretty flexible. I live in an apartment complex, and don't have a yard, so animals will have to be leashed when outside. I do not have a lot of space, so smaller animals are preferred, especially for longer stays.

“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!!”

“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)!”

“I think Bella settled in happily at Traci’s home which was a huge relief for me while away. Traci sent messages and photos while I was vacation which was so thoughtful. Thank you for caring for my little girl.”

“Cory has been a fantastic companion dog sitter for us time and time again! He does well with Skip's anxiety and give him great attention and exercise to keep him comfortable when we travel!!”

“Lisa took care of our baby when we're out of town. She sent me regular updates which felt really nice. We were able to visit her place before booking to ensure our dog will get along with Missy. I will definitely recommend her. Thank you”

“My baby boy had a fantastic overnight with Bailee and her fur babies. It's so important that I know Tootie is comfortable and loved in my absence. I watched as Tootie entered the home. He walked around, sniffing. I saw that Tootie was comfortable. Bailee sent pictures and many comical comments. She brought many smiles to my face. Thank you Bailee for loving Tootie.”

Carolyn M.

“Kevin was incredibly responsive in scheduling a somewhat last-minute booking, shared photos of Monte throughout his stay and provided consistent updates, and treated Monte like his own. Will absolutrly be using Kevin again and would highly recommend him.”

Ryan S.

“Elizabeth provided a safe and fun place for our energetic dog to stay and play all week. I think our dog may have been more spoiled than we were on our vacation! I know Elizabeth spent ample time walking, snuggling, and playing fetch. The updates and photos she sent often were comforting and reminded us that our dog was in very god hands. We will definitely be back!”

“Briana- has watched our pupper twice now. He enjoys staying at their house and they treat him as one of their own. The last time they had him for 4 days they even gave him a C bath before sending him home. 5 star service. Highly recommend.”
