Doggy Day Care in Beaverdale, Des Moines, IA

“We have a 5 month old Saint Bernard and after trying doggy day care at a commercial kennel, we knew we wanted to try something a little more personal. We chose Scott and his wife for our first experience with Rover, and it was the best choice! We met for a meet and greet before hand and instantly felt comfortable. Scott lives on a quiet street and has a large back yard for the dogs to enjoy. They sent us several pictures during the day of them going on walks and playing with other puppies. It definitely made the experience better seeing him so comfortable in the photos. We look forward to building our relationship with Scott, his wife Jessica and all their puppy friends in the future!”

“Samantha is truly the greatest pet sitter in the area. She is extremely knowledgeable about dog training, behavior, pet care, and is confident in what she does. My dog loves spending time with her, and the moment I pull into her street, he knows where he is at. He has had poor experiences with other day cares, to the point he shakes when I try to drop him off, but when he sees Samantha he starts to get so antsy and can hardly wait for me to open the car door so he can run to her! I have a very large guardian breed and she does so well with him. If you are anxious about finding a great sitter because your dog has some quirks, do not worry. She sees your pet as an individual and works with you and your pet to make sure everyone has the best experience! I do not trust any other person to handle my dog appropriately, other than her! She goes above and beyond every time.”

“My dog had a great first daycare experience with Mackenzie and Anthony. He’s had issues with anxiety with sitters in the past, and did very well with them and their 2 dogs. I highly recommend.”

“I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my pets other than Maggie. She is not only kind, responsive, and experienced; she is down to earth and has a genuine love for all animals! Maggie has consistently taken care of my animals (2 cats) since 2019. She is an excellent communicator and always goes above and beyond! A cat (and dog) mom herself, she is always making sure my kitties are fed and happy. Your pets will be in great hands. I would recommend Maggie 100 times over!”

“Alexandra is a true godsend. Every time I leave my pets with her, I know they’re getting the love and care they need and a little extra too. ☺️💕”

“Jaden has an obvious love for dogs! He is very knowledgeable about handling different breeds and handling them together. Jaden went out of his way to accommodate my schedule as well as my boy Duke's special needs. I wish I never had to be without my bud, but when I do I will leave him with someone like Jaden!”

About: I have raised dogs, cats, bunnies, horses, and chickens my entire life. I currently have a Pug and a Boston Terrier, both puppies. I work from home and can provide day care, over nights, walks, pop-ins, etc. I am right down the street from Gateway so if you need a place to drop your animal off on your way to work downtown, I make a convenient drop off location. Very flexible with times. Air conditioning inside, large fully fenced backyard, and walks daily. 24/7 availability for pet care so long as we communicate in advance. I work from home and can be available based on your needs. I am available for drop off and pick up any time. There are a few times throughout the day where I will be driving my kids to and from events. We can communicate and work around those times. I also have a keypad. Animals are watched closely in the home and kept inside the fence in the backyard under supervision. When on walks animals are always on leash and are one on one with me. Separate food and water bowls are used. My yard is cleared of excrement daily. All animals must be up to date with shots and worming and flea/tick prevention.

“Patty came in clutch when my sitter cancelled on me a couple days before I left for vacation! She even took the time to come the day before to meet both Penelope and I. She sent us plenty of photos too! Penelope absolutely loved her. Will definitely use her again :)”

“Really enjoyed Jasmine's flexibility and willingness to work with our schedule! She gave great updates and our pup is tired (in the best way).So grateful she took such great care.”

“Jessica took amazing care of my baby girl Juniper! Jessica sent me photos and videos throughout the day and Juni looked so happy and was having the best time. She was a tired girl when I picked her up after all of the play time and activities she did throughout the day. I would highly recommend Jessica’s services!”

“Kevin was wonderful! I entrusted him to keep my two dogs for a week after I had neck surgery. He kept my 16 year old dog and my new 2 pound puppy. He sent daily updates including pictures which helped me to relax since I had never left the puppy with anyone. He is knowledgeable about dogs behavior, schedules and needs. I could see in the pictures he sent that my dogs were relaxed and enjoying their time with him. I won’t leave my dog with anyone else!!”

“Where do I start, Jennifer is one of the most thoughtful, aware, compassionate, intuitive, patient and respectful human beings that I've ever met. Her love for animals is above and beyond. Jennifer has a special gift of tapping into each animal's individual characteristics/ personalities. She treats every animal as if it were her own and gives 110% when it comes to making sure they feel safe, loved, and fulfilled. I would highly recommend Jennifer to watch anyone's fur babies.”

“When I was going out of town, I asked Courtney to watch my cat for me. I left her at home and Courtney came every day a couple of times to make sure she had enough food and to play with her. I recognize that cats and dogs aren't the same thing, but my cat thinks she is a dog. Anyhow, every time she went over to check in on my cat, Courtney sent me pictures of them playing and of my cat curled up next to her. My cat doesn't always like people she hasn't met before, but she took to Courtney really quickly and was very happy and healthy upon my return. Courtney is not only super friendly toward four-legged friends but is also kind toward her two-legged friends as well!”

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!

“Gizmo is so happy at Alicia’s I didn’t think twice about bringing him back for a day visit.”

“Osvaldo, his wife and daughter are an amazing dog family! It was seriously like going to an amusement park for our dog. They did lots of walks/runs, playing, training and sent lots of pictures. We will be going back!! I'm am so thankful to have found them for our pup. They even took the time to work with my special needs son on training our pup. They deserve 10 stars! ?”

“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.”

Safety is paramount and your animal will not be left unattended in my home or property. I want your fur baby to have fun and be safe at all times!

“Morgan is the ultimate dog lover and has never met one she doesn’t like. If she comes across a dog while we are out, she always has to stop and ask if she can give the pup some love. I have seen first hand how caring she is with animals and always gives them all her attention. Morgan is extremely prompt, responsible, and organized. She would be the ultimate Rover employee!”
