Dog Boarding in Des Moines

“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.”

“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).”

“David and Betty were very attentive to Jr and Quinta. I know our dogs loved getting so much attention and love during their stay. Betty also commented on all our dogs little quirks like how Quinta likes to watch her person make coffee in the morning while Jr snoozes on the couch. Or like how Jr likes to talk / chat sometimes like he has something to say. My family and I really appreciated all the videos and photo updates. I always feel stressed leaving my dogs for vacation but all the updates made me feel much more at ease. My daughter commented that the dogs were having a fun vacation just like we were. I would definitely recommend Betty and David to watch your dog while you are on vacation.”

“Alex and his wife were great with our puppy Covi. Alex was a good communicator and kindly helped us through some of the Rover hurdles as first time users. Covi seemed to enjoy his time with the other dogs. Alex and his wife anticipated his needs as the puppy of the pack. We added on grooming and appreciated that they offered this as we spent the next week with our pup in the van. Thanks, Alex!”

“Our furbaby Bailey enjoyed his first time with Erika (and with any sitter) and her family. Erika was very mindful of the instructions we left. She was very prompt with updates, provided many pictures on how Bailey was doing and treated Bailey like her own. Bailey got along well with her dog Jet and seemed to have adjusted smoothly. We would definitely trust Bailey in her care again. Thank you Erika for taking such good care of Bailey and easing my anxiety separation. 🐶💗🐾”

“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!!”

“I absolutely loved Debra and so did Oliver!! He had such a wonderful stay. She so attentive and kept me updated the entire time. I actually felt like I was leaving him with someone who made him feel completely at home which is the best I could ever ask for. Oliver can’t wait to go back!”

“Tamar was great with our two dogs, Comet and Luna! They had regular walks and trips to the dog park and she sent us regular updates and photos of them having a great time! It was a real comfort knowing they were well taken care of and happy while we were vacationing overseas! We would definitely use Tamar again and highly recommend her to take care of your fur babies!!”

“Rya is an extremely wise and inviting spirit of a woman and dog sitter, walker, and intuitive! If you want her to truly care with intellectual and openess to learn your dogs needs and properly give them a safe and relaxed, or fun depending on your dogs needs, she is Amazing! She worked with me getting my crate in her proposed place for my dog Chili. She was creative with her approach with Chili and he was safe and cared for boarding over night. Not only this, she worked with my late night schedule change for work. Meet and greet was utterly lovely and an enjoyable experience. She walked him, as well. Her communication with me how he was doing getting settled was so very much appreciated through texts and pictures of any changes she made caring for him. I had arrived early next morning, earlier than the end pick up time. My Bluetooth speaker lost charge and my alarm didn't sound into my bt. She had him longer than expected as I napped to consider her sleep being there earlier than pick up time. I recieved Chili and his crate and we departed, as she tended to her day. Mind you she worked her schedule around for both of us and I very much appreciated her willingness and her care for my Chili. I Highly recommend Rya for your dog care needs. I'd leave 20 stars if I could. Thank you so very much, Rya and rover.com. I have to leave her a tip and give her this more than deserving review. She exceeded my expectations and she will for your and your fur babies. Thousand thanks, Rya.”

“Ayla did an amazing job watching my dog Poptart! She was very responsive and provided daily updates. I would recommended using her to anyone looking for a safe and comfortable place for there pup to stay! Will be using her again!”

Grayson C.

“We absolutely love using the best westie for our dog sitting. Luna is a very kind dog that welcomes all the dogs to the house and she has such a cute face. Larry and Rikke are great caregivers who are wonderful at sending photos to keep our minds at ease and they are great at keeping the dogs on schedule and they are very patient with my brand new puppy which I'm very very grateful for and I'm so glad I get to book them again”

Emily J.

“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.”

“Cynthia and Nikolas have watched Sonny multiple times, and they are wonderful! Communication, drop off, and pickup are always super easy. Sonny always has a great time!”

“Kristin fit me in on super short notice, and was wonderful when it came to communication. It was amazing to know my skiddish, nervous dog had a safe place to run around and be himself while I was away!”

Aaron R.

“Shannon (and Bert) have been taking care of my nervous senior dog regularly for daycare and short stays for 1.5 years now. Shannon impressed me with her dedication, professionalism, and care from the start and has been a godsend consistently throughout. I often worry about my dog when I'm not with her, but when she's in Shannon's care, I'm relaxed. My dog and I are about to move out of the city (and Shannon's care), so I thought it was high time for an updated review. Thank you, Shannon and Bert!”

Soo Jee L.

“Have you ever been on vacation and spent the whole time stressing about your animal you left at home? Wont happen with Gino. He takes great care of my dog, sends me updates each day and really reduces the stress I have around being away. He is very flexible with scheduling and close to the airport. Love coming home to a tired, happy dog. Thanks Gino!”

“Yixin was great! She saved the day when our other dog sitter canceled unexpectedly. She treated our dog with so much care and attention. She sent us lots of pictures, which we appreciated!”

Gabrielle G.

“I’m a repeat client and always very happy with the care my pet receives! The sitter is responsible and kind. My dog feels comfortable and happy every time, and I always get updates and photos while I’m away. Highly recommend!”

Mariia P.

“Maria was amazing with my dog Comet! He had such a good time with her and her dogs! He was wagging his tail both when I dropped him off. I look forward to having him stay with her again!”

Angela A.

“Daniel and Joelle are absolutely amazing. We were in a very hard situation with our aggressive dog. He has a hard time trusting new people, but Daniel and Joelle did everything in their power to make my dog feel comfortable and safe. They separated an area just for him, and put so much time and effort into Kairo. They went above and beyond. Highly recommend to anyone. Thank you so much Daniel, Joelle and to their children for accepting our baby last minute and giving him a chance. It means the world to us, and was the best birthday present anyone could have given me!!”
