Doggy Day Care in Chautauqua Park, Des Moines, IA

“Samantha was great, both my dogs were well taken care off for the short period that they were gone. I appreciated the little extra that was done for them. I would definitely recommend her to anyone and will be using her again in the future.”

“Scott and Brinley were a perfect answer to our needs on Black Friday. Teddy and Teesa were not only well cared for, they must have had a wonderful time, because they were totally exhausted when they got home. Many thanks for the help!”

“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! ☺️”

“I think Buddy loved it there. Thank you! I appreciate the kindness and all the attention to Buddy and the nice photos. If I need in home daycare, you will be my first choice!”

“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.”

“Ky has watched my dog several times throughout the years. She recently joined Rover, but I couldn't recommend her enough. She is very kind and attentive towards my dog, and my dog warmed up to her very quickly. She also has great communication and provides updates on how the stay is going. You can tell she loves doing her job.”

“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!”

“I have know Holly for 16 years. She is amazing with animals and wonderful dog Mom! She has very good maners with dogs and will be amazing with your dog too! She loves her dog very much and she will love your dog too!”

“Emily and her boyfriend did a great job looking after Echo. They were great with communcication and updates. Super convenient location downtown. Echo was more excited at drop-off than pick-up!”

“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.”

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!

“Nichelle is an energetic person who cherishes animals. She is a great mom to her dog, Freckles. She has a special bond with dogs--they are drawn to her and seem to love her instantly. She is a very warm and fun person who instantly shares her heart with animals, whether it be her own dog or other dogs we may encounter while on a walk. It is honestly inspiring to watch the joyful way Nichelle interacts with animals. She delights in their individual personalities and enjoys doting on them. I was especially impressed at the careful attention she pays to her own dog's diet and care. She is also very meticulous--always making sure her dog is well groomed and of course, cleaned up after on walks. Nichelle's huge heart for animals makes her an ideal candidate to work with anyone's pet.”

“Dana was able to accommodate a last minute request on a Holiday weekend. Very responsive with messages and remained very flexible with drop off and pick up times. Theo and Piper returned home completely exhausted and very content! They enjoyed their stay! I would definitely recommend Dana to all fur parents!”

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.

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.

“Marisa has cared for my two labs a number of times, for days at a time and overnights as well. One of my labs is of older age (90 lbs.) and the other lab has a history of seizures (80 lbs.). All in all, not the easiest dogs to care for with their specific needs and being large dogs. Not only did she help them get plenty of exercise outside and take them for walks throughout the day, but she administered medication and sent plenty of updates so I knew they were in great care. Would highly recommend Marisa for your pet needs!”
