Dog Boarding in Greater South Side, Des Moines, IA

“Lisa was a wonderful host to our two senior dogs. This was our first time using Rover and the dogs had a rough start adjusting (had multiple accidents in the home). Lisa was patient and was solution focused. She tried different methods to decrease their anxiety and provided us frequent updates on how they are doing. They definitely adapted with her help! One of our dogs is diabetic and Lisa helped us administer his medication injection as well.”

“Alice is absolutely amazing ! As soon as we dropped Benji off, we felt like he was in the best hands! This was one of the first times we were away from him this long and Alice made us feel so at ease and reassured throughout the whole trip! I’ve found a permanent dog-sitter in Alice ! I highly recommend and appreciate you, Alice ! Thank you for everything !!”

“Justin was great to work with! He asked great questions at drop off to get to know our dog and care for him well. Would recommend him and use him again in the future! He was also transparent about other dogs he was boarding the same time ours was there.”

“Another great visit with Christy and Ekram. I’ve never left my baby with someone else this long but they sent pictures and updates every day and made a huge effort to make sure she started eating again.”

“She is amazing! Got pictures and videos while on vacation. She actually cares about animals. Will definitely use her again and highly highly highly recommend using her!!!”

“Ren had a great time playing with all the dogs! She will definitely be back.”

“So lucky we found Evan to take care of Flower, our furry daughter came back exhausted and happy, he took great care of her, and will definitely contact him again for future boarding.”

“Maricela was awesome with easing in Sami into her home, giving her space to get used to the new environment. She sent pictures daily and was always incredibly responsive in both the inquiry and once booked. She accommodated our requests and was incredibly friendly. Definitely recommend Maricela if you are looking for someone that will treat your pet as their own!”

“Rebekah took such great care of our dog when we were in town for a wedding. Sent a lot of pictures and made Sky feel right at home. Thanks!!!”

“Our first time using Rover was with Casandra. We boarded our two pups for over a week with her. She was very flexible with pickup and drop off times, and she did an amazing job with sending updates and photos. I felt at ease knowing that our dogs were with someone who treated them like family. They looked so happy in every picture. I would highly recommend using Casandra for your pet watching needs!”

“Jenevieve was a great sitter for our dogs. Leaving your little ones is very hard, but Jenevieve made everything so easy. I'll absolutely ask her again for our next trips and I highly recommend her great service. Thank you so much for watching Mila and Bruno.”

“Ashley & Oziel did great with our pup, Dakota! He was exhausted when we picked him up, which is the best case scenario! They checked all the boxes and we can't wait to have them watch Dakota in the future!”

“Steven was very accommodating for our last minute weekend trip, and was very attentive & patient with our 2 large dogs. We highly recommend having Steven watch your fur buddies!!”

“Chris and Erin were fantastic with Arya. They sent pictures daily and they definitely treated her like their own. She had a blast and hopes to have more play dates in the future. Thank you so much for caring for our girl♡”

“This was our first time ever leaving our pup with anyone and Heather made it the absolute BEST experience for us! She sent lots of pictures and updates of all their fun adventures and he was in the best mood when we picked him up and he even seems to be listening better after his stay! He definitely got his own little mini vacay with Heather and her family. I would 100% recommend Heather, and we can’t wait to schedule another play date!”

“Kayla was awesome! I was very nervous about leaving my dog with someone I didn't know but she provided so many photo updates and my pets genuinely enjoyed spending time with Kayla. My other sitter had a family emergency last minute so I had to find a new sitter on very short notice and kayla was very willing to help me out. I will definitely be using kayla next time we travel. I cannot say enough great things.”

“Scott was very attentive to Queenie . I left her for a short overnight trip and she was treated like a Queen . Scott made sure she ate well and played a lot outside . He kept in great communication. She even got a dog Cookie snack at the end . Definitely will return !”

“We came to Iowa for a wedding. Cory took good care of our 2 senior dogs (labs). One has separation anxiety that he was able to comfort and the other took a nap on his bed. He walked and fed them.”

“Jenny has boarded Korra a few times now. She and her husband are awesome and loving to my puppy girl! She has a blast every time. Jenny sends lots of updates with pictures so you never have to worry!”

“Thank you for taking care of Daisy. You are awesome!”
