Dog Boarding in Des Moines

“Thank you very much for taking such great care of our pups. We are excited to have found wonderful people where we can leave them for getaways and plan on scheduling more stays!”

“Kristina responded quickly to my last minute request. She was open to chatting with me to learn about him and how she could make him comfortable. Even though my dog has some behavior problems, Kristina was still open to working with him. She kept us up to date with pictures and comments on how he was doing. She treated my dog very well. I wouldn't hesitate to have Kristina watch my dog again in the future.”

“Photo and video updates, walks, snuggles, and Harlem - a furry companion my dog actually bonded with <3 Thank you Debra for making sure Orbit was safe and happy!”

“First, logistically Samantha was awesome. She got us in last minute and was tolerant/patient as our return was delayed a few hours. For the actual dog portion, even better. Our _slightly_ neurotic dog seemed to have a great time and the pictures sent throughout the stay were so cute and made us feel at ease. We will definitely be booking again for our next trip(s).”

“It was my first time using Rover, and I could tell my dog enjoyed staying with Chuk. She sent daily updates and was responsive to all my questions. I had to drop my dog off early in the morning and pick her up late at night, which can be challenging, but she was incredibly flexible with the timing. Thank you so much!”

“Excellent experience! David & Betty communicated quickly, paid great attention to detail and truly spoiled Buddy with love & care. Highly recommend!”

“Alex and Amanda did such an amazing job taking care of my bull terrier, Gizmo. It’s been a minute since he’s been away from me and not many people are knowledgeable about the breed, so I was very picky with who I wanted to leave him with. So glad I found them! And at the last minute too! They were very accommodating. I love that they do a meet and greet and slowly introduced the pack. You can tell they know what they are doing and genuinely care about every pup. They showed me around the areas where he and the pups have access to, which not many sitters do, so I definitely loved that. Their doggy den is one of a kind; You’re going to have to see it yourself! They invest so much in providing the best stay and making sure each pup (and owner) feel comfortable. They have a nice yard for the pups to play as well. I was updated with pictures and knew my furchild was in good hands. Can’t recommend them enough! We’ll definitely be back ?”

“My dog Ninja is very high energy and requires sitters with a bit more experience. Brandon is extremely knowledgeable and patient working with larger/ active dogs. He was able to watch my furbaby last minute, adjust to his needs, and send pictures throughout the stay. Highly recommend!”

Mabel K.

“Daisha and her husband are so incredibly nice and wonderful. My pups are somewhat handful and required lots of attention. They got all the love, care, and more staying with Daisha. I love the fact that Daisha's home is so neat and clean and she has a beautiful yard for the dogs to run around and enjoy. I specially appreciate Daisha's attention to details and her and her husband's genuine love and care for my dogs. I completely trusted and felt very lucky to have found Daisha to board my dogs. We'll definitely be back and work with Daisha again. Thank you so much Daisha!!!”

“Rosa was a sweetheart and took really good care of our puppy ❤️ We felt perfectly good leaving our baby with her and picked up a happy camper ;-) Thanks Rosa, we'll hopefully see you again”

“Alyssa jumped in while Dane was out of town and made Lobster’s stay feel like a mini vacation. Lobster came along with his buddy Ren and they were straight into dog park adventures, backyard playtime, and running around with Lady (their adora-pup) like old friends. Between hanging out with Alyssa and her two daughters and all the fun outside, the dogs were clearly living their best lives. The steady stream of happy photos made it obvious they were having a blast and being so well cared for. We live 35 mins away from Dane and Alyssa, and the distance didn't bother us because we know our pup will be in good hands. We will book again and again!”

“Why only 5 stars, for Tamar there should be 20 stars!!! Such a fun weekend for our puppy staying with Tamar and his doggy friends. Pictures of Murphy playing with dogs, cuddling and making himself at home. Such an amazing find, we feel so lucky to have such a safe and fun place for our dog to stay when out of town or busy at work!”

Marcus W.

“Left our dog with Erica for a week and she was awesome. Had really great, caring questions for us prior to the stay that made it clear she really cares about the dogs she watches. Got daily updates with photos, would definitively have her watch our pup again.”

TJ T.

“Rikke was awesome!! Owen and Wilson enjoyed staying with Rikke and her family. Pictures everyday of their adventures and walks. The boys were definitely happy and loved their stay!!!!”

Maria R.

“Wow. Just. Wow. Cyndi was so communicative and Caspian was so well cared for. I was nervous at first because we'd never left him with anyone before but my fears were nullified by the end of the first day. So amazing.”

Franklyn T.

“I was so happy to find Maria to watch Bucky for my vacation. Her house is a small doggie paradise! I got pictures and videos regularly and I was confident that he was in good hands. I look forward to many future visits and I’m sure Bucky does too!”

About: I have been an animal lover my whole life! Growing up, I had dogs both big and small, as well as cats. Now I have a dog (June) and a cat (George) of my own. They are the loves of my life! I have experience with puppies and seniors, as well as administering medication to dogs and cats. I’ll treat your pet as if it were my own! I am currently in school, and it is self-paced, so my schedule is quite flexible! I can provide pet care basically any time, and adjust my school schedule accordingly. If I am caring for a pet in a client’s home, I will be sure they feel comfortable and safe with me. If I’m caring for a pet in my own home, it is important that they are comfortable with cats and other dogs. I have a fenced yard with plenty of space to play!

“Sourabh and family are always our go to for a peace of mind stay. They are responsive, providing daily videos and pictures for our assurance.”

“Highly recommend Daniel and Joelle’s family to anyone looking for a warm, responsible, and loving home for their pup. From the moment we met them during the meet & greet, I could tell how kind, genuine, and attentive they are. Daniel and his family truly love dogs and treat them like part of their own family. Daniel stays home full time, and there are usually at least two people home at all times, which gave me great peace of mind knowing our dog would never be left alone. One of their adult children has been dog sitting for years and is very experienced, and the other spent lots of time playing with our dog, which made him so happy. It’s wonderful to see how they all work together to make sure every dog gets plenty of attention and care. They kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the stay, took our dog on walks, and made sure he felt comfortable and loved while monitoring all the dogs closely. Our dog absolutely adored them and he gave everyone tons of kisses when we picked him up, which is his special way of saying “I love you.” Their own dog, Meelo, is such a sweet dog. Even though he’s blind, they’re very mindful and careful, introducing dogs slowly so everyone feels safe and at ease. I’m so relieved to have found such a kind and reliable family who will give our dog the same care and attention we do at home. We’ve already booked them again for the upcoming holiday and plan to keep returning in the future!”
