Doggy Day Care Iowa Colony

About: Dogs have been part of my life since I got my first pup at age 5, and I’ve been raising and caring for them ever since. Our home includes a 7-year-old mini Frenchie who’s a pro at reading the room - she loves a good play session but also knows when to give other dogs their space. My 3.5-year-old is growing up with the same love for dogs and has learned to respect boundaries and recognize when it’s time to play or give pets their space. Your dog will be treated like family here, with plenty of love, attention, and a calm, dog-savvy household that understands every pup is unique. We have a fenced-in backyard for as much outdoor play your pup may require. I work full time from home with a very flexible schedule, which means I’m around throughout the day to provide attention, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. My routine naturally revolves around my own pup’s needs, so caring for your dog fits seamlessly into our daily flow. Whether it’s morning walks, midday play sessions, or just hanging out together while I work, your dog will have consistent supervision and plenty of quality time. We have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and explore. My 20-pound mini Frenchie is always up for a playmate when the vibe is right, but she’s equally content to let other pups do their own thing. For peace of mind, we’re just 8 minutes from the nearest emergency vet, so immediate care is readily accessible if ever needed.

“Ashley was incredibly communicative right from the beginning.. Bentley is a very shy dog who takes a while to warm up, but to my surprise, he settled in and got comfortable with her very quickly. She was very clear and thorough with Bentley’s care. That says so much about her calm and caring nature. She truly put me at ease the entire time, making the whole experience completely stress-free. I’m so grateful to have found someone so attentive and reliable. 💛”

“Mathew and his fiancé provided the best day for my fur baby! From start to finish the experience was stress free with them. I was updated throughout the entire time. They sent pictures and a video so i knew she was comfortable and settled in well. They accommodated her troubles with other dogs, had no issues taking her out and even kept up with her feeding schedule! I was nervous to trust anyone with her breed and her boundaries, but they have absolutely changed my mind! They are truly so caring and understanding of what a dog truly needs to feel safe and be happy. Words cannot express how grateful i am for them. Definitely will be letting my fur baby stay with them again the next trip we take here!”

“Silvia and family are absolutely the best! My pups have stayed with them a few times now and I am always comfortable doing so. Her communication throughout their stay lets me know that they are happy and well cared for.”

“Eva and Kallven treated my new 4 month old puppy lovingly like one of their own. I was happy he was able to socialize with other dogs and Eva even separated him from the larger livelier dog she was boarding so he would feel comfortable. She sent me pics and videos showing how well he was doing and was very responsive to my messages. I did a trial doggy daycare to see how my pup did before boarding him for a few days and he did very well!! I felt very comfortable using them to board him during my vacation.”

Amanda R.

“Mary and Khamtane are wonderful pet sitter who takes excellent care of our Charlie! Right off the bat when we first met them we got an excellent first impression. They are very good with communication and giving constant updates. Charlie gets very excited when we drop him off and he enjoys playing with his furry friends.”

Naina U.

“I regularly rely on this sitter, often on very short notice. Communication is clear and timely, scheduling is easy even last minute, and most importantly my dogs are always well cared for. They treat my dogs like their own, keep me updated, and give me total peace of mind while I'm at work. I'm incredibly grateful to have them as my go to sitter when I'm in town.”
