Doggy Day Care in Union Park, Des Moines, IA

“My pup junior loves going to daycare at Samantha’s. He is super excited each morning for it, plus Samantha sends out pics of him enjoying his day with the fellow pups throughout the day. 10/10 recommend, very handy with my schedule too given i work 12 hour shifts some days. Can’t find these kind of hours available elsewhere.”

“Zero loved spending the day outside and in the pool! Such a tired pup for the day! Definitely having her come back again. I’m glad I found another husky house for her to play at!”

“Kayla is awesome. I trust no one with my puppy, I’m an extreme helicopter mom and worry constantly. She kept me updated with pictures all day which was really comforting, I always felt at ease. Her times were very flexible with my work schedule and I couldn’t be happier I left him with her! Thank you Kayla!!!”

“Samantha is amazing! So are her pets! We booked last minute and she was so willing to work with us! She is very responsive, will get back to you quickly. She sends lots of videos and pictures throughout your pets day! Your pet will get plenty of exercise if you book with Samantha! We have already booked another week with her! My ONLY negative with her would be Ollie is definitely going to miss his friends! ☺️”

“Kristy was great. Cleo was super happy. We did pick up and drop off for daily daycare. She was very flexible which was great as I had to emergency take care of my mom in the hospital and had a very unpredictable schedule.”

“I needed a dog sitter last minute after my original arrangement fell through. They saved the day and agreed to watch our dog! We appreciate them being available and taking good care of our guy.”

“First time having my husky with her and she is so tired ! Im happy Priscilla kept me updated on her throughout the day, because I was nervous with this being her first time. Priscilla is so nice and Jojo WILL be back.”

“I needed a sitter short notice and Heather was very helpful in accommodating my schedule. Jimmy was happy and healthy when I picked him up. If I'm ever in Des Moines again I'll definitely rebook!”

“This was our first meeting with Alex. We got to know her a bit, and she spent quality time with Jake. She's on time and on top of everything. We (and that includes Jake) are looking forward to having her take care of Jake in the coming months.”

“Lyndsey works with animals everyday at work and comes home to her dogs, cats, horses, mules, and chickens. If you want someone with animal experience she is it!

About: I've grown up around dogs and have a passion for animals. I have succeeded in training my current puppy in multiple commands and managed to have him fully housebroken by the age of 4 months. I typically work from home Mondays and Fridays and can check on pets at regular intervals. Occasionally I may run 1-2 hour long errands while the dogs play in the back yard. My current dog is a loving 4 month old Great Pyrenees/GSD mix who has a wonderful temperament and is a perfect early socialization experience for nervous dogs. There is a decent-sized fenced in yard for dogs to run around in complete with a plastic kiddie pool to help cool off on Sunny days. While inside the dogs will be regulated to the kitchen and living areas.

“Not only does Janiya hang out with our babies, she gives them a bath with her own bathing/grooming set. We didn’t even ask, she offered and Cane and Tank truly love that extra attention.”

“I absolutely recommend Nichelle to work with dogs of any sort. I know Nichelle to be loving and doting and VERY protective of animals particularly with dogs. I personally have left my dog with her occasionally and enjoyed seeing her interact with dogs, especially to be noted is that she has a big beautiful warmth about her that attracts neighbors and pets.

About: I’m the friend that’s relied on for training support. Puppy, Senior citizen, separation anxiety to adoptee experience; 10+ years. I’m passionate about learning new training techniques, implementing, and teaching. Every dog and companion deserves to understand each other. I have a 3 year old xl breed. Every day we focus on consistency and communication. I personally focus on the individual needs specific to my companions for the best life experience. From avid exercise to slow paced walks to muscle and joint massage and even reinforcing habits that create healthy confidence. I love paying attention to body language and understanding what it means for a companion as well as the companion’s caretaker and being able to provide comfort and training techniques based off of that. I can’t wait to be a certified dog trainer and help people understand there’s no such thing as a bad or impossible breed. It’s all about understanding, communication, implementation, and consistency. My goal is to keep your companions day as regular and consistent as possible. We will be on time for walks, they will get a lot of attention, I love animal body language so I’ll be able to build a connection with your companion based on their comfortability level, and I prefer to go by your rules. I understand no dogs on couches and I also fully support couch cuddles. It’s all about your companions happiness and well being along with providing ease and comfort for you and I will make sure to provide everything you need to maintain that. I chose a neighborhood great for king walks and close to downtown for easy access to greys lake. apartment that offered a dog park for comfortable potty breaks. And being right next to greys lake offers great adventures. I can crate if required, as I crate my 2 yr old for his safety. I encourage as many “rules” and your guidance to abide by to make your companions day to day as regular and enjoyable as possible. This is all about you guys and making your lives easy and comfortable.

“Maren is amazing! She’s extremely responsible and always puts Lili’s (my dog) safety first. She’s extremely kind and loving, and Lili warmed up to her right away...they’re besties now! Hands down, she’s one of the best sitters we’ve found in San Diego!”

“I worked with Lexi at a boarding facility and she has so much love for animals! She cares for every dog and makes sure they have a good time in her care, whether they need cuddles or lots of running, she will make sure your dog is cared for and feels loved❤️”
