Doggy Day Care in Slater

About: We have 2-13 year old girls who love playing with dogs! We currently have 4 dogs of our own and a large yard! I’ve had dogs almost all of my life(40 years). Animals in our care will be treated like family just like ours! I work from home 4 days we week and there is always someone home with our 4 dogs! Our dogs are like family and get lots of exercise outside and lots of lounging time inside. I have a large yard with a 6 ft privacy fence. Dogs are allowed out several times a day sometimes several times an hour. Dogs dictate how often they want to go out.

“Java started to trust Kenneth after 2 daycare visits, which is very rare. It means Kenneth did a lot of work with him. I feel very confident leaving Java with him, and I can focus on my work . Thank you 🙏🏽”

“Excellent experience. Bailey kept me informed all day with fun pictures and videos of Finley playing with her dog and at the park and dog park. Communication was excellent.”

“Georgie had amazing time and played a lot with puppers at Kelly’s house. Kelly shared pictures throughout the stay and was very responsive. Will definitely rebook again!”

“Our dog was happy and relaxed when we picked him up. It seemed like he had a fun afternoon and it was clear that he was well cared for. Thank you Tilaine and family, and extra thanks for working with us on such short notice!”

“Kelley did a wonderful job taking care of our 15 year old dog, including mealtime and medicine. Kelly is kind and responsible and we could tell that Adi felt comfortable in her home. 5 out of 5 stars. We highly recommend.”

“We had something come up last minute and Mallory was very accommodating to our situation! Our puppy Ivy had a blast, she came home all tuckered out and she was so excited to go back the next day! Mallory also gave us a cute Polaroid of our puppy when we came to pick her up gave our puppy a nail trim without asking her too! We will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!”

About: Since I was 12 years old I had a strong love for companion animals which pushed me to gain experience with a variety of them; from dwarf hamsters to pigs. Growing up I always imagined becoming a veterinarian and, I am proud to say I have finally received my bachelors in animals science from Iowa State University. Throughout my four years at Iowa State I learned important training techniques, behavioral training, and basic health information for small and large animals. I currently work from home which gives me flexibility during the day for last minute bookings! Services that clients need help with is already built into my routine and I am confident in my experience that I can care for your pet as I do mine. I live in 2 bedroom apartment with 2 small dogs. My dogs are polar opposites since one loves to sleep all day while the other enjoys running with all the toys. If you know your dog will be comfortable in that setting they are more than welcomed in my home. Although I do not have a fenced in yard I do have access to the Ames dog park for zoomies.

“another absolutely amazing week of daycare for my fur baby!! they are sooooo good at making sure he gets group play and mentally stimulating games as well as working on basic commands with him to make sure he doesn’t lose them:) highly recommend if you need anyone to watch your fur baby while you have work, school, or simply need a break and want your pup to get his workout in!!”

“Samantha is so great to work with! She follows directions perfectly and takes excellent care of all the (3) dogs we’ve had her sit for (doggie day care). She communicates effectively and timely and we never have to worry.”

“Avery is a great pet caregiver. She always takes great care of my dog while I am away. My dog loves when he gets walked or gets to hangout with Avery.”

“Emma was very nice and took great care of my two dogs. I would recommend her to other others!”

“Carson took great care of my dog every time! I have a shy dog so I definitely appreciate the care that my dog get so he doesn't get nervous while being watched over a few days.”

“I could not have been happier with how the day went for my 2 girls while staying w Jalyn. She communicated very well throughout from booking to, sending me some beautiful action pictures. I am looking forward to booking w Jalyn again in the future. Mija was actually worn out at the end of the day. Which is not easy to do, so that is greatly appreciated”

“Our 10 week old puppy had a great time with Gina while we were gone for the day. She had a large fenced in yard for him to play in, lots of toys to help with his puppy energy and soft places for him to sleep! We are thankful he was taken good care of and gave us great peace of mind.”

“Leah is a dog lover through and through! When we were kids, she wanted a dog so badly, she spent 4 months caring for a ceramic dog to prove to our parents she was responsible enough to have one. We used to have a dog of our own, he recently went to heaven and Leah wants to share her love with other pets here on earth. She has a special place in her heart for older dogs and loves making them happy. She will treat your dog just like she spoiled our pup for the 15 years we had him!”

“Beth is AWESOME!!!!!!! Beth was so welcoming from the start! I had a very unusual need as I was traveling across the state and needing a dog sitter for just a few hours so I could take my wife on a side trip that didn't accommodate dogs and she not only graciously accommodated my plan but she was willing to switch gears at the drop of a hat to change things from one planned time to a different planned time! This is not to say that she should be able and or expected to do this all the time, just that she is awesome and helped make our perfectly special trip become an awesome trip!! And the dogs clearly loved her and felt VERY comfortable with her!!! Thank you Beth!”

“Tyler is the most amazing person I have ever met with animals. He is extremely patient and loving. He has spent his life caring for animals. He has wanted to work with them from a very young age.”

“Hailey was so attentive and considerate of my puppy's needs, and she did a great job keeping me informed during the day. Would highly recommend!”

“Kristen is wonderful with animals! She's very caring and patient. She's also very responsible and will give your pets the best care! If you want a dog sitter that treats your furbabies like kings/queens she's your girl! She's also very active! So walks and outing will be a great addition to your pups routine!”
