Dog Boarding in Merle Hay, Des Moines, IA

“Justin was great watching our dog Chase for a week! He added all the supplements into our dogs food daily, gave him 1:1 time, let him play everywhere (in his home and the backyard,) and sent us daily update photos and videos of Chase! When we first met Justin he asked appropriate questions about Chase and was very welcoming to us and Chase. We are extremely happy to have someone we completely trust to take care of Chase in the future!”

“So nice to know Copper had the comfort of a home and people to love on him while we were away! He has anxiety so having Chris & Erin around almost all the time was so wonderful for him.”

“I could tell my dog was so happy during her stay and she returned to us so tired from playing all day. Ashley is great at communicating, treated my dog as her own, and her dogs are so friendly!”

“Cassandra is amazing! She sent videos and pics of Chief showing how much fun he was having. He played with other dogs, played fetch, played in water, and was tired. She’s the best!!”

“Hudson had a great time staying with Scott! I got lots of pictures of all the fun Hudson was having, and Scott helped him settle right on in while I was away!”

“Had a great experience booking with Lucia! She took great care of our dog for 3 days and sent pictures/updates. She brought him to the dog park and he got lots of play time. Lucia was a great communicator too!”

“Jessica was amazing and took great care if our Sumo while we were on vacation. She was a great communicator and sent us updates everyday. It really made our vacation better because we knew Sumo was being well taken care of back home. I will for sure use her service again in the future!”

“I’m extremely pleased with the care provided by Megan when she took care of my 2 dogs for 6 days/5 nights while I was out of state on vacation. I had never left them that long with anyone before, and one of mine (Callie) is very attached to me and has some separation anxiety. But my fears were put to rest by Megan’s kind and reassuring manner when we first met and even more so when she sent me updates and several pictures every day to let me know how my pups were doing. She let me know my 2 pups were getting along well with her 2 little dogs, and the pictures reinforced they were making themselves at home. I really appreciated that she has a large fenced in yard for the dogs since mine are used to that. I will definitely use Megan again and am so relieved to know I can leave my dogs with her and they will be well cared for. She is awesome! I highly recommend her.”

“I moved here from TN a month ago and had a pretty cushy situation there with my dog sitter and was hoping to find the same. It seems like I have. For reasonable prices and the fact she has two fairly active dogs for my high energy Dox to play with, he was very happy from his overnight stay there and I'll definitely be taking him back. Nothing like peace of mind for pet parents!”

“Ashly took great care of my Golden overnite. My baby came back happy, and even ate her food, which often doesn't happen when she is away from me. Thanks Ashly!”

“Jasmine was excellent with watching two of my dogs, Toby and Leia! She already had a full house of her own but she made sure my pups were comfortable and happy while my partner and I were away. Highly recommend!”

“Cory took great care of our dog while we were away. Our dog can have periods of anxiety and does not do well with other animals, he was able to handle her behaviors without a problem. He sent us regular updates and kept her active all weekend. She was happy and worn out when we picked her up. We would definitely recommend and plan to use him again for future trips!”

“Highly recommend! Our dog had a blast and Elizabeth gave us frequent updates on how he was doing. Very friendly and had a lot of the dog gear such as crate, toys, etc”

“Ashley and Oziel did an amazing job watching my dog Maddox. It was my first time issuing rover and they made me super comfortable with it. They sent lots of updates and Maddox had a great time. Definitely will use them again!”

“Liam took excellent care of our energetic mini-labradoodle! They are a dog friendly home and truly welcomed her right in! She got a lot of snuggles, attention, and walks. I was SO grateful having Liam watching her over a weekend while I was out of town. He kept me updated on her activities and sent darling pictures of her, I had such peace of mind knowing she was being so well cared for. I highly recommend Liam and will certainly be booking him again! Thank you, Liam! 🐶”

“We're entriely comfortable leaving our dog with Jenevieve. She has great communication, and gives us regular updates while our dog is staying with her. Her pup Roman is a great host as well and makes our dog feel right home. They've become the best of pals!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 12. Friends and family have relied on me for pet sitting whenever they are out of town. I currently work full-time Hybrid. I work from home Mondays and Fridays. During this time I can provide care specific to your pet and their needs. I can provide potty breaks every 0-2 hours at least. I have a giant fully fenced back yard and 2 friendly dogs. One dog prefers more to watch the other dogs play while the other dog loves to be in all the action!

“Amazing experience. Our dog gets homesick but Alexandra was there to help him adjust while we were out of town. He LOVED the big backyard and his new dog friend. Thank you for taking such care of our dog and giving us updates along the way - you went above and beyond.”

“They took extra special care of Pause and made sure he felt at home. They even sent him home with an extra doggie bag of treats!! He is tired out from all the fun and will be staying over again in the future!”

“Tripp had the best time with Samantha. He loves his time with all the other doggies and I always get so many gorgeous pics of him. Warms my heart and I know that he is having a blast and getting soooo much love and attention. I always have the best peace of mind with him there and she has helped me out in so many scenarios. She’s a gem!!”
