Me and my husband absolutely LOVED this place!!
We were very worried about boarding our little June because of a terrible previous experience with another facility, but Tracie Louise and her partner were wonderful with our dog! They treated her like their own as soon as we dropped her off, and she had a BLAST; they sent us multiple updates with pictures during the day, and our dog improved so much in her chewing training in just three days of boarding! (which I’m really grateful for lol)
We will for sure board June again at Iva’s Place, and I highly recommend this to everyone that is very protective and anxious about their dog dog because for the first time me and my husband were able to relax for a weekend without a single worry!! Thank you so much, we will see you very soon! 😊❤️
Peanut had the best time at Iva’s. Everything about our first experience was wonderful. We felt so comfortable leaving our pup overnight. We got lots of pictures and updates! I am happy we found a place that doesn’t just put her in a kennel. She was “part of the family” while she was there. She can’t wait to go back.
Iva’s Place is wonderful! Our dogs boarded there for 5 nights and we were so impressed with the care they received. TL communicated with us every day with fun updates and loads of pictures for us to see our girls. Our 3yr old had a blast running around with her new friend group – jumping in the pool and exploring the expansive grounds. Our 14yr old, whom we were worried about leaving, spent time in the yard with her older peers, and rested on the porch or inside for some quiet time. We were able to enjoy our vacation without worry, knowing they were in such good hands and in a safe environment. TL and her partner opened up their home and welcomed our girls like they were their own. They catered to each dogs individual needs and made sure they were well taken care of. We couldn’t have found a better place for them to be while we were away, we will definitely be back!
Such a great experience for my lab. If you’re looking for a boarder who is cage free, allows dogs the freedom to roam their fenced in 1+ acre lot, and gets to sleep on comfy dogs beds (or couches) this is the place for your dog (or cat)!
Iva’s place sent me 2 daily updates (with pictures) and even provided a report card when we picked up our dog. I also appreciated their intentional “get to know me” process prior to them committing to take my dog on. This gave me the reassurance that he was in good hands and that he’d enjoy his new animal friends.
We’ll definitely be back!
This is the place to be if you’re a dog away from home! We had only boarded our girl once in the past and it was a bad experience. We wanted to get her established someplace that would help socialize her and treat her as she is treated at home (spoiled). I’m so happy we found Ivas Place! We received regular updates a couple times a day, lots of photos, and a report card at the end of the stay. TL spent extra time with our girl to ease her nerves and made sure that she felt included in the pack. I love the fact that there are no cages or kennels. There are tons of dog beds and a human bed and they truly become one of TL‘s pack. If you are accustomed to kenneling your dog, this may be unconventional to you, but for the dogs, what an amazing experience! And for us, it was so comforting to know that she was in a home environment, and not a cage! I highly recommend TL and Ivas Place!
