Doggy Day Care in Drake Park, Des Moines, IA

“Samantha was wonderful with Janice and Falkor. Janice is a social one year old and Falkor is a 10 year old man. Janice I knew was going to fit right in. With Falkor, I was a nervous mom. As soon as we arrived, Samantha was greeting me at my car and taking one of the dogs. Once inside, she escorted Janice right out the back door to explore the back yard and do her business and then did the same with Falkor. That was the transition I needed. No sad puppy dog eyes from Falkor and Janice was all kinds of happy. Throughout the day, Samantha sent videos of Janice playing and pictures of Falkor with his sofa-sleeping possy. I'm very happy with the experience and I look forward to booking again soon.”

“Scott was incredibly friendly and easy to book with. They took such great care of our husky Bolt and sent plenty of cute pictures and updates on our boy. They easily accommodated our schedule and had the cutest little pug that our husky loved. Bolt enjoyed his time and got to play and make friends with some adorable dogs, he even got a yummy treat to take home with him at the end. If you are in need of a an excellent sitter who clearly loves dogs and enjoys taking care of them, then we can’t recommend Scott enough! We will definitely be booking again!”

“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!!!”

“Shaelea R. LOVES animals! If she sees one in need of care or abandoned, she will take it in. She saw a post of a man living in a car with 11 guinea pigs, needing a home for them, because he couldn't feed them anymore. She went and picked up all 11. She was able to safely rehome a few, she still has the rest, plus a few babies. Shaelea is very patient and caring. She has had a daycare business, in her home, for 9 years. The children and parents love her and feel safe leaving their children with her. Shaelea is very responsible and dependable. I highly recommend her!”

“Ky and her son watched my dogs while on vacation. They did a tremendous job. Took my dogs for walks and really treated them like their own. I will def be using their services in future. Very caring and great communication. They will do very well on Rover and I highly recommend them!”

About: My husband and I love all dogs and look forward to having more in our home. We’ve both grown up with dogs our whole lives - all different types of breeds, shapes and sizes! I also previously trained service dogs and am prepared for all different types of dog personalities. I currently stay at home and can give your dog lots of love and attention. My husband also works from home and is flexible to help! Caring for pets fits easily into both of our schedules. I have a friendly, playful golden retriever who can’t wait to make new friends in his fenced in yard. As long as your dog is potty trained and not destructive, they don’t need to be kenneled in our house - but it’s also totally fine if you prefer to bring one.

“Maggie and Betty had a lot of fun playing in the yard, and I loved getting pictures from McKenzie during their stay. Thanks for taking care of my treasured pups!”

“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!”

“Really enjoyed Jasmine's flexibility and willingness to work with our schedule! She gave great updates and our pup is tired (in the best way).So grateful she took such great care.”

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!

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.

“James is an outstanding pet parent. When I met James, he had a Labrador retriever named Albert. He had adopted Albert as a puppy. Albert was the best cared for pet ever! Albert just passed here recently at the impressive age of 14. He has also pretty pet sat for my Akita, Cash was a puppy mill rescue. I adopted him at about a year old and he was super under socialized and extremely fearful with strangers. James was wonderfully patient with Cash in giving him both the space and the nudges he needed. Rover would be fortunate to get James as part of your team”

“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!”

“Alexandra and Andy took great care of our pup! Thank you!”

I personally have left my dog with her occasionally and enjoyed seeing her interact with dogs, especially to be noted is that she has a big beautiful warmth about her that attracts neighbors and pets. Please consider her as a candidate for a position with your company, she will bring warm and love to any pet in her care. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me at (845 ) 649-9854 Sincerely, Kelly Cahill”
