Dog Boarding in Winterset, IA

“Laura was great! She took our dog to the dog park three times over the span of her one night stay and she came back to us good and tired. Our dog really likes playing my with Pepper and Laura sent us lots of pictures, so we were never worried about her. Highly recommend!”

“Having peace of mind that Zoee is content and well cared for is super important to me. Debora provided excellent care, and a calm vacation spot for our little mini-yorkie while we were out of state. Highly recommend :)”

About: I have had all kinds of animals my whole life, especially dogs. I also have 20 years vet tech experience with large and small animals. I work 4 days a week with flexibility so I can give your pet the care it needs. I have the holidays and weekends off which is when most people vacation. I have 3 friendly dogs of my own that will keep your baby company. I have crates if needed. I will hand walk if needed.

“Lucinda was able to watch our Nova girl last minute and welcomed her into her home as one of her own. Nova was very comfortable and enjoyed her stay.”

“Our Rosie loves staying with Scott. She is always excited to head to his house when we travel. Scott is very responsive and easy to coordinate with. We are grateful for this resource!”

About: Are you looking for a more personal dog sitting experience rather than kennel? I will keep to your dog's routine with feeding schedules and outside breaks. I have two of my own spoiled dogs and a well behaved 12 year old son. We live in a few acres with a large privacy fenced backyard with plenty of room to play! I can give your pet lots of love and attention, and outside play time! I work at a local vet clinic taking care of many different animals with a variety of needs (including medication). I am very easy to contact, if necessary. I have references available upon request! I can't wait to meet you and your fur family- always open to meet and greets but up to your comfort level :) I prefer a weeks notice to adjust scheduling. Your dog must be dog and cat friendly. Outside breaks are offered in the morning, afternoon, early evening and evening. Breaks are typically 15-20 minutes or more but also dependent on weather. Feeding schedule can be 1-3 times a day. I have a six foot privacy fence and latched gates. All doors are locked when I'm away from home and at night. We're in the country away from any busy roads.

About: Growing up on a family farm, I have had the opportunity to care for many different kinds of animals (dogs, horses, cats, chickens, goats, pigs and cows). I have taken care of family and friends dogs for the last 20 years. I have raised 5 puppies and have shown a few of them in local shows. My kids are 10 and 7 and love taking our dogs for walks, hikes and playing with them in our very large back yard. I am home all summer and my school year schedule varies so I have plenty of time to take your pup on walks and play with them. I have a large fenced back yard and 2 pups friendly pups. I have the ability to take your dog to either a paved or dirt trail for walks or runs. My dogs walk 4 to 5 miles a day but I can definitely make the walk shorter if needed. I have the ability to separate the dogs if needed. I can also crate the dogs. Our dogs love to lounge on our couches.

“Sam was amazing with Lucy. Lucy has anxiety issues when she is left with others. We met Sam and her dog Buddy prior. Lucy and Buddy hit it off immediately. Buddy is a very sweet dog. Sam and Lucy got a long during the visit and Lucy was not showing any issues being around them. The weekend Lucy stayed with Sam went awesome. Lucy was spoiled and never had one issue. Sam was great sending pictures and emails with what Lucy was doing. I will use Sam again in a heartbeat. I never worried about Lucy all weekend so that gave me a chance to enjoy my weekend away.”

“Candace and her family are amazing! Abby was so well cared for while I was away and she was loved by the entire family, and, she had wonderful playtime with their own sweet dog! Candace sent pictures and updates so I rest assured Abby was doing great! Will definitely use them again!”

“Carlee was so good with our 2 dogs! Loved them like her own and you could tell they were cared and loved for as if we were with them! They were happy as ever!”

“Second time with Evan for our two dogs. Everything thing went well, and Evan was very accommodating with our schedule. Hope to continue using him when the need arises.”

“I recently hired Maria to watch my dog Jax while I was out of town for 4 days for spring break with my family. Not only she did take care of my pup, but she also sent daily updates with pictures, which gave me peace of mind. Maria's genuine love for animals shines through in her work. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter.”

“Tamara and her husband were great to work with and I know my dog had a great time! Will definitely be booking with them again in the future!”

“We were worried about leaving our dog for 5 days with someone we didn't know and he hadn't stayed with before. That worry wasn't needed. Patty knew I was worried and was wonderful! We got pictures, videos, and comments about how the days were going twice a day. Patty loves and is knowledgeable about dogs and the wonderful care they get shows that. Our guy was obviously fond of Patty and we will definitely book with her again.”

“Taitum was the perfect sitter for my Svenny! She sent me photos and updates throughout the weekend which gave me such a peace of mind! Sven came home tired and happy so I know he was well taken care of all weekend. Taitum’s puppy was the perfect play mate for Sven as well!”

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

“The best! Is all I need to say, they were so great with our dog. Special requests requested with our dog and there was no issue! So thankful. :) Thanks again!”

“Duncan had so much fun during his stay at Justin's, judging by the looks of the pictures that were sent and the fact he slept all day after he came home. Communication was great and was very responsive. Will book again!”

“Shelly did great watching our German Shepard mutt for a week while we were outbof town. She sent a few photos a day of what they were getting up to and he came home extremely happy! I would totally recommend Shelley if you are looking for someone to watch your pup!”

“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.”
