Dog Boarding in Des Moines

“Our dog bonded so well with Linda!! She became siblings with Dino too! The daily updates eased our mind while we traveled and we could see that Hazel was well-taken care of and relaxed. She had lots of fun throughout the day with Dino and they settled well together too! I loved that Linda was home for our anxious dog. Linda did an amazing job with our dog!!”

“This was our first time boarding Pepper and we are so glad to have found Kathy and Craig. I was a bit apprehensive before our meet and greet but after getting to know Kathy and Craig we knew Pepper would be in excellent hands. Pepper had the best time during her week there, receiving lots of love and making new friends. Kathy sent us updates and photos which put my mind at ease during our vacation. We plan to have Pepper attend doggy day care and board with Kathy and Craig in the future as well!!”

“Brandon took wonderful care of our dog (Ollie) while we were away for 9 days. Ollie had a great time playing with Brandon’s younger Belgian Malinois (who was able to match Ollie’s energy) and with the other pups. Brandon shared videos, answered all of our questions, and went above expectations to meet all of Ollie’s needs. We would definitely recommend him as a dog sitter!”

“Alex and Amanda provide just what my dog needs - lots of fun outside broken up by periods of quiet time and gentle guidance/training throughout the day to continue learning to be a "good boy". He enthusiastically walks through the gate to play with his buddies when I drop him off, and comes home exhausted. I highly recommend them to others!”

“Naomi did a great job with the weenies. She even came over super late one night because my flight was not until midnight which I super appreciated. She always leaves me house super clean, takes out the trash and the weenies do seem super happy when I come back. Thanks so much as always !!!”

“Stephanie and her partner Kellan were the best pet-sitters we could hope for! Stephanie always responded very quickly to Rover messages. I realized that I had messed up our dates and asked if I could modify the booking to drop her off a day early and they were completely fine with that. When we arrived, they had a dog bed, dishes and toys ready for Chesapeake to help her settle in right away. They took her for lots of walks. They showered her with love and treated her like she was their own dog. They sent photos and videos of our happy dog throughout her stay. And when we got home after picking her up, we found that they had given her a toy, a stuffed hedge hog that she had enjoyed playing with. I will definitely be checking to see if they are available next time we need sitters. They are the absolute best!”

“Jodi is an exceptional communicator, sending updates and pictures of my car regularly and responding to my questions promptly. The area where she keeps the pets is well maintained and it's obvious that she has a love for pets. My cat comes back to me happy and healthy every time, and I can't wait to continue to use Jodi as a repeat customer.”

“Sourabh took great care of Veeru. He send daily updates and pictures. My dog seemed to get along well with them and their pets. They took care of Veeru like their own dog evident from the pics. Veeru was definitely loved and spoiled. I had to make a modification to the itinerary after 5 days and he was extremely accommodating. Highly recommended Sourabh to care for you fur baby. Bonus point for house with back yard and for working from home so he was always able to keep an eye on veeru.”

“Christina was amazing and our dog had the best time with them and their pups. They played and ran at the tennis court just about every day and Christina was really great with communication and updates every day.”

“Gino was fabulous with our two older dogs. I’m so pleased with how much communication Gino provided us through their stay. He sent pictures and let us know how they were doing every day. I highly recommend him. We will definitely have Gino watch them again when we are out of town.”

“Tyler and Alexis Rule! They were both warm, welcoming, asked all the right questions during our meet and great, and are clearly dedicated to making their space inviting for dogs and people alike. Our big boy Ted had a great week at their place with sweet pups Roo and Darwin and got all the affection and play time he could ever want! Really lovely to have folks close to our home (and the airport) who are available all day every day for your pooch. Looking forward to next time!”

“Katie came home happy and healthy. She is a ball of energy so I knew that her stay with a play mate Luna and 3 kids would keep her busy. There is lots of room to run and play. Rikke kept me updated with pictures of Katie and her adventures. Will use their services again.”

“Maria was a fantastic sitter for our highly anxious pup while we were away on vacation. She sent videos and photos everyday and was very responsive. Would recommend her!”

“Rosa took excellent care of our daschund for a week while we were out of town. She was very loving and took Annie on walks and gave her plenty of cuddles. She sent pictures and videos to calm my nerves while I was gone. I will definitely use her services again!!”

“Tamar’s place is like a heaven for my pup Otter! Every time when I pick up Otter she’s always exhausted from all the play / chase with other doggies staying at Tamar’s. It’s a kindergarten for my baby girl. Great communication is a plus. Would 1000% recommend!!!”

“Katherine and Brian took excellent care of my buddy Jax. They were thorough and attentive when it came to understanding his needs, and took the time to send pictures and updates to help ease my mind while I was away. Great experience overall.”

“Myrna loves dogs! I wholeheartedly recommend Myrna as a dog walker and dog sitter. Myrna has gained a lot of experience volunteering as a dog walker with WAMAL (Washington Alaskan Malamute Adoption League). Walking and training large, stubborn rescued Alaskan Malamutes is no small feat! Myrna ended up falling in love with huskies and malamutes, and decided she wanted to adopt a rescue. Her landlord didn’t allow pets, so Myrna saved up and bought a house just so she could adopt a dog. Well, she ended up adopting three! Myrna is very responsible, and is a great dog mom. Her dogs are very well cared for and well socialized. They get along with dogs of any size. Your dog will have a lot of fun with Myrna and her brood!”

“Sara was amazing! It was our first time leaving Caramelo for an extended period of time. Sara gave us comfort that Caramelo was cozy and doing well. Sara was very responsive and communicative. Caramelo loved his time with her and will be visiting her again!”

“My anxious pup Ginger had the best time with Marisol and Twinkie. I was so happy to see how much Ginger enjoyed herself. Marisol is a wonderful person who goes above and beyond to ensure your dog gets all they need while you are away. I am so grateful for her loving kindness and I will book again for sure.”

“We felt very relaxed on our vacation knowing that our dog was in good hands. We got frequent updates from Erika and our dog was in great spirits when we picked her up. Erika is a great communicator and dog sitter and we would book with her again.”
