Dog Boarding in Oskaloosa

Our dogs were happy to stay at Sydnie’s place. She sent regular photos during our trip, and was quick to communicate. The dogs were looking great on pickup. We’ll be happy to book it her again!

Carolyn & Daniel were amazing! We needed to make a change to our itinerary and she graciously helped make that happen. Our 9 yo maltipoo was well-loved and cared for and we are so grateful. These Rovers have three dogs of their own, and knowing that our little guy gets a little anxious around new dogs, she had all three out of the room when I brought in my little guy. Then, she introduced them one at a time. It made for a smoother transition that many will not take the time and care to do. I hope they are still in the Rover business next time we need to go out of town... I would book them again for everytime we need a sitter!

Daina and their family took good care of my cat. We did a meet & greet beforehand and I got a chance to see the space, which includes at least one small room a pet could more or less have to themself if they need a quite place to adjust to their new environment. There is a backyard, but there were some gaps in the lattice structure under the deck, meaning it is possible for a pet to roam down there and it would be tough to get them out. The only area in which I would dock a point is that Daina never sent me any photo updates of my cat during her stay, even though I checked the box requesting such updates when filling out the initial booking request, and I also didn't receive much in text updates. Just for comparison's sake, the other two sitters I have used on this platform have both sent a few photos during my cat's stay. It's not a big deal for me; I tend to be more in the camp of "no news is good news" for pet sitting. It's just something to consider if you prefer frequent updates with photographs of your pets. The more important thing for me is that Daina was quick to contact me when my cat was not adjusting well to the new environment, so that I was able to quickly help resolve the issue. Overall, I would say that Daina did a good job taking care of my cat. They sent fewer updates compared with other sitters, but they were quick to communicate when it was most important. They also quickly and thoroughly answered all of my questions and concerns. I was on a tight schedule for drop off and pick up, and they were ready on time in both instances. I would definitely consider asking them to watch my cat the next time I need a sitter.

I am so impressed with Marilyn and the care she took of our 2 dogs. Drop off and pickup was very easy. Marilyn sent pictures and updates throughout the whole stay. I felt very comfortable leaving the dogs with her. They were able to take walks and swim during the hot summer days. It was a great experience and I highly recommend Marilyn. We will be booking again.

Rachel and her family were so patient and caring with our pups. One of ours is a little diva, but she figured him out right away. She sent videos and pictures regularly and kept us posted on how they were doing. There are more animals and pets at their home so other animals make themselves comfortable pretty quickly. I could tell our pups had a good time by how relaxed they were when I picked them up. Couldn't have asked for a better home to care for them! Thank you!

Lindsay did so great with our dog! Our dog came home so happy and loved. We will definitely be booking Lindsay again anytime we need to leave our first baby.

Perfect host. Not much more to say. Very accommodating, updated with pics, Rory was happy and healthy when I got back (hasn't always been the case).

Magen and greet family have Ralphie the very best care! She sent daily updates and pictures, took time to read details I'd written down, and felt comfortable asking questions about behaviors she was observing. She very knowledgeable and comfortable working with dogs and her family is super kind. They even made him some special homemade dog treats to take home. We will absolutely choose Magen anytime we need care for Ralphie on the future!

They are an amazing and loving couple that treated my fur babies like family. My fur babies were full of such joy when I picked them up. I definitely recommend this family to care for your fur babies. I truly appreciate all the love they gave Ginger and Riley. Also it is a plus they have kids in the home who provide extra love.

Josh was great from the beginning. He called immediately after sending the request to several other sitters. He put any of my worries aside by making me familiar of his setup and success with other pets. I have 2 Huskies and one is very active and can leap fences, Josh has both the patience and the setup to accommodate them. When I met him in person, he walked me around and showed me some of the areas the dogs gather around. He has pets himself, which makes me feel even more comfortable (knowing how much they mean to me). My dogs took a liking to him, he was familiar with giving them time to sniff around and wonder, he continued to update me with messages and pics (great photos by the way). Over all, Josh was a great Host to my pets and I’ll definitely continue to use his services in the future.

Matt was fantastic with our big guy and we will absolutely be using him again. Bravo can be pretty anxiety ridden when it comes to new places but he was comfortable immediately with Matt. We got updates and photos as well. Thanks again Matt!!

Doug had a great visit with Nicole and her crew. She sent lots of pictures and updates each day so we knew he was having fun. Doug was walked a bunch and made great progress on his training! We had to adjust our dates a bit which was no problem. Drop off and pick up was a breeze. We will book again with Nicole.

Kelsey is an amazing sitter! She is incredibly responsive, takes excellent photos, and her whole family spoiled my little one. Rory absolutely adores Kesley. I will definitely rebook for my next trip.

Thanks for watching Busta! Looks like he had a good time.

Kathi did great with my baby! You could tell she really cares about caring for pups and I greatly appreciated the pics and updates throughout the stay! Would definitely recommend her to a friend.

Regan was communicative, sent us daily updates and photos, and our dog had fun playing with her dog. We appreciated that she took the time to introduce them slowly and to meet Sam ahead of his stay with her. She was also flexible when we had slight delays.

I think my dogs look forward to when I go on vacation at this point. I always book with Brandin, his family takes care of my dogs well and my dogs like their dogs.

Toby and Chloe were absolutely spoiled!! Would recommend Xue if you love a happy home! Xue also did a great job with communication and making sure my dogs were comfortable the entire time.

Carissa was great with our dog. He received a lot of individualized attention and TLC. Carissa is a great communicator and sent frequent and fun updates. Highly recommend!
