Doggy Day Care in King-Irving Park, Des Moines, IA

“This was Lady’s first time away from home and she had a wonderful time! The picture updates throughout the day made us feel comfortable knowing Lady was cared for and having fun with the other pups! We have already booked again!”

“When I tell you these 2 are the Best….they are the BEST!!! Super friendly and very welcoming! My big baby Zeus literally never wants to leave! And he gets beyond excited when we drive down the street to their house! By all means I will continue to bring Zeus just so he can get play dates with his other pup friends!!!”

“I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my pets other than Maggie. She is not only kind, responsive, and experienced; she is down to earth and has a genuine love for all animals! Maggie has consistently taken care of my animals (2 cats) since 2019. She is an excellent communicator and always goes above and beyond! A cat (and dog) mom herself, she is always making sure my kitties are fed and happy. Your pets will be in great hands. I would recommend Maggie 100 times over!”

About: My partner, Anthony, and I are the Rover duo here! Together, we have a combined 20+ years of experience working with dogs. Anthony primarily does the house sitting and we both work together for boarding in our home. We currently have 2 dogs of our own who are both rescues. Arthur is our 6 year old playful, loving lab mix and Taz is our 4 month old sassy pit mix puppy! We love caring for pets and are excited to spread the love to more doggy friends! You can count on us to be reliable, respectful, engaged, and loving to your pets. We will ensure that they get exercise and the love they need while under our care. We will make sure the environment is safe for all pets and make sure your pet has access to food and water at all times. We work from home full time and will make sure your pet has the necessary potty breaks they need and will not be left in a kennel all day long. We love dogs and are excited to provide a safe + comfortable place for your pet so you can enjoy your time away from home knowing your dog(s) is/are in good hands. Anthony and I work from home, which makes pet care fit very easily into our daily and weekly routine. We have 2 dogs of our own and we never leave them home alone longer than 4 hours. We have a fenced-in yard. The yard is safe and a great size to give your pet ample space to run around and exercise. We also have outdoor cameras to monitor if we are not outside with them.

“First time having my husky with her and she is so tired ! Im happy Priscilla kept me updated on her throughout the day, because I was nervous with this being her first time. Priscilla is so nice and Jojo WILL be back.”

“My pup had a ton of fun. She played most of the afternoon and got to go on walks. She is very high energy and she was pretty worn out by the time I got there. Very happy”

“Jaden was very nice and easy to work with. He was very quick to respond. He sent pictures during the couple hour day care. Winston was happy when we came back. Will use Jaden again.”

“Alexandra is a true godsend. Every time I leave my pets with her, I know they’re getting the love and care they need and a little extra too. ☺️💕”

“My girl is currently wiped out on the couch she had so much fun with them for doggy daycare. Very communicative and kind on pick up and drop off.”

About: Hi there! I'm Dax, a lifelong dog lover with plenty of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes. Whether your pup needs medicine, a special diet, or any other personalized care, I've got it covered. At home, I have two of the friendliest small dogs who would love to have some company while I work from the office. I'm dedicated to ensuring every dog feels safe, loved, and comfortable during their stay. Looking forward to meeting your furry friend! I work from home full time and able to care for dogs at any time of the day. I walk dogs every 2-3 hours around the neighborhood. Dogs are allowed to roam the entire 3 story home and play or lay on all furniture including couch, beds, dog beds, etc. More than happy to have your pup sleep in bed with us or crate if you’d prefer!

“Kevin was wonderful! I entrusted him to keep my two dogs for a week after I had neck surgery. He kept my 16 year old dog and my new 2 pound puppy. He sent daily updates including pictures which helped me to relax since I had never left the puppy with anyone. He is knowledgeable about dogs behavior, schedules and needs. I could see in the pictures he sent that my dogs were relaxed and enjoying their time with him. I won’t leave my dog with anyone else!!”

“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!”

“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.”

“First time ever using this app and Lucia made it easy to book with her, nice and responsive! She sent me a video of my dog and that was comforting! Kona was happy and got to play her little heart out! Thank you so much!”

“I needed a sitter short notice and Heather was very helpful in accommodating my schedule. Jimmy was happy and healthy when I picked him up. If I'm ever in Des Moines again I'll definitely rebook!”

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.

About: I have raised dogs, cats, bunnies, horses, and chickens my entire life. I currently have a Pug and a Boston Terrier, both puppies. I work from home and can provide day care, over nights, walks, pop-ins, etc. I am right down the street from Gateway so if you need a place to drop your animal off on your way to work downtown, I make a convenient drop off location. Very flexible with times. Air conditioning inside, large fully fenced backyard, and walks daily. 24/7 availability for pet care so long as we communicate in advance. I work from home and can be available based on your needs. I am available for drop off and pick up any time. There are a few times throughout the day where I will be driving my kids to and from events. We can communicate and work around those times. I also have a keypad. Animals are watched closely in the home and kept inside the fence in the backyard under supervision. When on walks animals are always on leash and are one on one with me. Separate food and water bowls are used. My yard is cleared of excrement daily. All animals must be up to date with shots and worming and flea/tick prevention.

“This was our first meeting with Alex. We got to know her a bit, and she spent quality time with Jake. She's on time and on top of everything. We (and that includes Jake) are looking forward to having her take care of Jake in the coming months.”
