Doggy Day Care in Johnston

“Sara did a great job with my dog Ocean. She took him in short notice and dealt with all that comes with a 4 month old puppy. I would recommend her highly.”

“This was an amazing experience! I needed to make a trip to Ankeny and couldn’t leave my dog home for that long of a time so I hopped on this app and found her, so glad I did! He was a little scared at first but shortly made himself at home. Good communication and she sent photos! Made me feel good 💕I will be contacting Meagan again!”

“I had something come up last minute and Alexandra was so sweet, responsive and accommodating. So nice and easy to work with and Moose seemed comfortable with short notice set up!!”

“Osvaldo, his wife and daughter are an amazing dog family! It was seriously like going to an amusement park for our dog. They did lots of walks/runs, playing, training and sent lots of pictures. We will be going back!! I'm am so thankful to have found them for our pup. They even took the time to work with my special needs son on training our pup. They deserve 10 stars! ?”

Tonya W.

“This was the first time my dogs have gone over to her house and they loved it!! They loved hanging out with her dog and just being able to be around someone all day! She was very sweet and attentive to their needs!”

Alivia M.

“What a wonderful daycare for our 11 month old, high energy black lab. Mackenzie had to deal with a lot from our Eddie, and she handled him so well. Her other dogs are such a delight, fun and happy!”

Matt D.

“Jen and her family are amazing and I think our pup Nila would go to their house to visit every day if she could. Nila initially had some anxiety from some bad past experiences when Jen first started watching her, and Jen was incredible at helping her feel safe and gain confidence back. And her own dog Mia does such a good job of respecting Nila’s boundaries but also encouraging her to play and get out of her comfort zone. Jen treats every dog with so much love and care as if it was her own, and goes above and beyond any expectations we had.”

Katelyn P.

“Angela did a fantastic job with our Wally! She was flexible in sitting longer hours when needed and was very easy to work with. Her dog Ava loved Wally and it helped out so much to get our puppy some socialization with other dogs. I’d recommend her to anyone needing someone to watch their dog(s).”

Nate B.

“Taitum was so accommodating to my schedules and my pup seemed to have so much fun. Even though his stay was for just a few hours, she was so communicative and sent pictures!!”

About: I have personally had a pet or 3 since I was 13 years old. I begged for a cat for years and once I got one, I never have been without at least one pet. I have been volunteering with the ARL since 2005. I have had 30+ foster dogs through them as well. I just love animals. I do have weekends blocked but just ask about availability! I am retired. I enjoy going for walks with dogs and depending on the dog spending time outside in my fenced in backyard. I have a 6 foot fence. Your dog will have the ability to be part of our family and our family pets are on our furniture. We do separate our home animals, fosters and house guests at night. The "regulars" get to sleep in our beds while our guests get other accommodations. It makes for better harmony for us. Because we foster on a regular basis our animals are very used to different dogs coming into our home. Our home is pretty quiet and relaxing.

About: I have grown up with dogs and taken care of dogs my whole life!! I absolutely love dogs more than anything and have dog sat a ton!! But what sets me apart is I am home almost all the time so I will be here to take care of your dog 24/7!! I can take them on walks as much or as little as you would like! :) I am currently a student on break this summer so I am home very often to play, walk and care for your pets!! I am planning to go study animal science after this summer to be a vet!! Your dog will get more than enough affection from me as I love all animals!! ;) I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room for your dogs to enjoy! I also have a friendly goldendoodle who would be able to keep your dog company and play together!!

About: My experience in the dog industry goes beyond just boarding or sitting. I have the knowledge, skills, and experience training dogs of all ages and breeds, including service dogs. I currently work part time teaching group classes, leaving quite a bit of my time available to do other things involving dogs. In addition to a safe and friendly place to stay, your dog will get daily enrichment activities and, if needed, house manners training (go to place, leave it, keeping all 4 paws on the floor, going in/out of doorways). I work part-time training group classes, which allows me to have the time needed to care for the dogs staying with me. I'm available for boarding during the week, weekends, most holidays, single overnights and extended stays. My availability for day time sitting can vary but my calendar will always be updated with those times. All interactions between dogs are supervised to ensure those interactions are a positive experience and a safe experience. I don't have a fenced in yard so each time going outside is on leash, so leash manners will be worked on. I have crates and exercise pens for dogs who get crated at night. During meal times dogs are separated from each other as a precaution to prevent resource guarding. I do have a "gated community" inside my house to prevent mischief in the kitchen or going upstairs to bedrooms.

About: I’ve been trusted and relied on to take care of and love family and neighbors dogs of all sizes and needs while they have been away for a weekend or on extended vacations I work fully from home so I am always here to care care of and attend to your animals needs and to take a needed walked over lunch. I have a fully fenced in backyard with no dogs on either side of me. Your dog is more than willing to run and play and will get plenty of walks.

“Gizmo is so happy at Alicia’s I didn’t think twice about bringing him back for a day visit.”

“My puppy enjoys his stay with the sitter ❤️ Very caring and reliable sitter. Harsha was comfortable and well taken care of, and communication was clear throughout. I really appreciated the flexibility and attention to his routine. Would happily be my go to sitter for Harsha.”
