your dog should be on vacation too.
At Iva's Place, we aim to provide you with a worry-free experience for your pets when you have to leave them behind. Whether you're on vacation or at the office, we want your pets to feel like they're on vacation when you're away.
Our goal is to be a loving pack for your pup and to give you the confidence that your dog is safe, loved, and happy.

in loving memory of Iva
At the very beginning of the pandemic, our rescue Shepherd, Iva, was diagnosed with chondrosarcoma. When we learned she would need radiation therapy and profound care to get her through to the end comfortably, we found ourselves grateful for the global disaster that afforded us the opportunity to stay home with her.
That time we shared with Iva, giving her the most love and joy we could until the end, was the best way we could have honored her with the life she always deserved to have. Iva passed on 2.21.21. The idea to start "Iva's Place" felt like she was returning the favor of our care from beyond - she's giving us the opportunity to share her paradise with your pets at our very own in-home boarding facility. Come on over. We're excited to meet you.
don't be surprised if they don't want to leave!
(it's ok. they can come back.)
"I can’t say enough good things about my experience with her! She was absolutely amazing and truly treats each pet that comes to her home as if they were hers. I appreciate her so much and I am SO happy we found her! Can’t wait for many more stays! And I’m pretty sure my pup went into a short depression when we picked her back up because of how much fun she had! :)"

"From the moment we arrived, we knew our 18 month old border terrier was in capable, experienced and loving hands with T.L. He immediately took to her sweet and friendly dogs and cats and took off to explore the huge, wooded, fenced back yard. T.L. has a warm and welcoming manner and was an excellent communicator, with lots of pictures and updates during the 7 days Duffy stayed with her. I would highly recommend this caregiver."

"Oh my goodness! I'm surprised my dogs even wanted to come home with me. They had so much fun, were so well taken care of by TL and they were exhausted when they got home. She kept us informed on what they were doing and sent tons of pictures. I highly recommend her!"

"I was so nervous to leave my pupper at the sitter’s for the weekend. But, my anxiety was totally unfounded when I left her with TL. She took lots of pics and sent them to me. I was worried that my pup would not mesh with her doggies but when I got there to pick her up, I don’t think she would have protested if I had left her there!! We will definitely ask TL to care for Brimley in the future. She was a life saver."
