Dog Boarding in Capitol Park, Des Moines, IA

“Jen is amazing! Watched my girl last minute for a week. Jen is very communicative, sent a bunch of pictures and kept me updated on how my girl was doing! Definitely recommend Jen! ?”

“Casandra came to our rescue when we needed to leave town on short notice. She was so wonderful with our dog Louie and sent updates on his stay (including an adorable picture of her grandson snuggling with him). She was quick to respond and flexible with the drop-off/pick-up. Louie loved the attention that he got while staying with her.”

“Kevin was amazing at working with me when I change her drop off time twice due to flight changes. He sent me pictures and videos and let me know Cookie was warming up to him (as I was worried about that, as she is wary of people she doesn't know). He was also accommodating in letting someone else pick up cookie for me as I wouldn't be able to. Cookie seemed to be her normal self when I returned home and hopefully she was good for Kevin during her stay. I would book with Kevin again as he was very chill and laid back about Cookie.”

Samantha S.

“Super nice, great communication! Received pictures&/or videos every day. Coco really seemed to enjoy herself and came back happy and freshly bathed! Thank you!”

Kimberley M.

“Sadie enjoyed her stay with Lisa so much, I'm not sure she wanted to come home! She even had her own Thanksgiving dinner. We appreciated the pictures and updates during her stay. Thanks!”

M D.

“I think Bella settled in happily at Traci’s home which was a huge relief for me while away. Traci sent messages and photos while I was vacation which was so thoughtful. Thank you for caring for my little girl.”

Neta U.

“Alice was an amazing sitter!! She sent me daily updates and my pup loved to play with hers. She was in constant communication and always answered. Thank you for watching my sweet boy!”

Joelle W.

“Jaden was great with our senior dog! He sent lots of pictures and updates. He was patient with him and some of our dog’s quircks. We liked the fenced in yard and the freedom he had in his house. Will definitely use again!”

Meri M.

“Christy and Erkham were so great! Dilly had a great time and were so thankful we found a trusted caregiver for us! Thank you Christy & Erkham!”

About: I have spent my entire life around animals, especially larger, older dogs. I am home full time while classes are online and am very flexible with sitting times. I am currently taking classes online for the summer, so I have plenty of time to take care of your furry friends! I tend to be busier on the weekends but if you give enough time in advance I am pretty flexible. I live in an apartment complex, and don't have a yard, so animals will have to be leashed when outside. I do not have a lot of space, so smaller animals are preferred, especially for longer stays.

“Amazing! A Huge Thank You and Shout Out to Rex! My frenchie has never stayed with someone else before and my anxiety was through the roof. Rex instantly connected with Oliver and made him feel right at home! I loved the communication and the pictures of their day. It definitely put me at ease while I was out of town! I 100% recommend Rex and will be using him for all my future boarding needs! Thank You Rex! Oliver says Thank You too! 💙”

“Shaelea is great to work with. She has watched my dog twice now. She is very friendly and a great communicator. She accepted my fairly last-minute request, which was so helpful. I highly recommend her to others.”

Aimee M.

“Cory and his family of pets really did well taking care of my puppy and when she got home she was tired and happy for twenty four hours straight. She seemed happy both at drop off and pick up times; a blessing for us indeed!”

Janelle M.

“Jessica will be our first call the next time we need to board our dogs. She took care of them like they were her own, was very organized and responsive with communication. This was our first time using Rover, but now I can’t imagine sending our dogs back to the kennel.”

Sarah R.

“We had a great experience leaving our 11 month old mastiff with Sam and her family. It was our first time ever having to leave a pet with a non relative and they eased our nerves and lovingly welcomed our dog into their home. We are so appreciative of their love for our big puppy and if the situation arises, we would definitely use Sam’s services again.”

Tiffany D.

“This family took such well care of our boys while away! The updates and photos were so great! There was an incident that occurred and we were given all the details, updates, and even offered support from them! Will definitely choose them again!”

Madison B.

“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.”

Cathy G.

“Only positive things to say, whether it’s communication or how caring she is of our dog and other dogs in her care. Our dog can’t get out of the car fast enough when we get to her house, the truth is in the tail wags, he loves staying with Elizabeth!”

Alexis W.

“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!”
