“Megan had a great time at Jessica’s. It was Megan’s first daycare experience and she didn’t even hesitate going in. Megan came home exhausted, which made for a nice relaxing evening. We will definitely be booking with Jessica again.”
“This was our first Rover booking for a day of daycare. Our sheepadoodle was pretty anxious when we arrived. Scott did a good job of putting her at ease. His dog Brinley is gentle and did her part in making our dog less nervous too. It wasn’t long after we left that we got a video of her playing with 3 other dogs. That was very reassuring. We chose Scott because we liked that he and Jess were full time dedicated to the care of dogs. We liked that there would be other dogs there because we felt being busy with playmates would be a positive. It’s clear that Scott is serious about providing great care to dogs and it appears he has earned many loyal customers. I don’t think anyone should have any qualms about giving them a try! I am glad we did!”
“My dog had a great first daycare experience with Mackenzie and Anthony. He’s had issues with anxiety with sitters in the past, and did very well with them and their 2 dogs. I highly recommend.”
About: Dogs have always been in my life. I volunteered at Animal Lifeline for 8 years and had a dog daycare of my own for a while. Dogs are everything and I’d be honored to love on yours. I currently work full time but my day ends at 3 pm so I can be that late afternoon or evening potty break or walk. Weekends are definitely doable as well with pre-arranged time and notice. Should your dog(s) stay with me during the day, I have a fenced yard and no carpet in case of oopsies! My 2 dogs are older and laid back. If you request that I come to your house I am very reliable, responsible and respectful. I can guarantee a boat load of scritches and belly rubs as well as time for “business”.
“Thanks for taking care of our baby Louie. Much appreciated. It’s great to have trusted family’s to take care of our loved ones.”
About: I live and work downtown (full-time remote). I can host your pet overnight in my home; stay overnight in your home if needed. Pop-in visits to provide breaks, walks, feeding. I can also provide day care services if needed. I do not have a crate but bringing your own crate is optional but not required. House broken/trained is preferred. I prefer to host 1 dog at a time. 2 dogs from the same household would be possible but prefer not to mix dogs from multiple households. I work remote full-time Mon to Fri 8-5. Can do pop-in visits, walks and feeding as needed or on a set schedule that works best for your pet's current routine Condo here and unfortunately do not have a yard but there are lots of green spaces near my condo at 10th and Mulberry. Space is over 1200 sq ft so plenty of room for your pet. I do have a small (Havanese) 8mos old puppy that loves attention but is very smart and picks up on queues from other dogs. Shy and timid upon introduction and will play only if the other dog engages. Loves people and attention.
“My sometimes anxious blue heeler had never done daycare before, and Savannah and her husband were so great with him! I will definitely reach out to them again if he needs daycare in the future.”
“My Venus had an incredible day with two other frenchie pups! Miss Alice is so sweet and took excellent care of my baby girl while we visited Des Moines for the first time! Can't recommend her enough!”
About: Family has relied on me for all pet needs. I’ve helped with sitting, potty breaks, feeding and walking. Or even just to keep their fur babies company. I work remotely with the ability to adapt my schedule as needed for pet care. I would love to take care of your sweet baby! We have a fenced in backyard with a huge deck for sunbathing. We have 1 dog who would be a great playmate for your baby! We also have 3 children that love animals and would provide great companionship.

About: Having two adorable vizslas of my own, I have a gained plenty of hands-on experience with dogs! I understand the importance of a consistent routine, from feeding and walking to playtime and rest. I will provide a safe and calm environment for your dog! As a very active person, I love staying on the move and can easily keep up with dogs! My work commitments are close to Des Moines, which gives me flexibility and plenty of time throughout the day and week to give your pup the attention and care they need. In my home, pets are treated like family! I follow their usual routine as closely as possible and be sure to create a calm, pet-friendly environment.
About: I have spent my entire life around animals, especially larger, older dogs. I am home full time while classes are online and am very flexible with sitting times. I am currently taking classes online for the summer, so I have plenty of time to take care of your furry friends! I tend to be busier on the weekends but if you give enough time in advance I am pretty flexible. I live in an apartment complex, and don't have a yard, so animals will have to be leashed when outside. I do not have a lot of space, so smaller animals are preferred, especially for longer stays.
“Our 14 year old dog developed some issues that meant he couldn’t be alone while I was at work. He goes to Melanie’s a few days a week now. He loves it. We will continue to work with Melanie when we need pet care.”
About: Caring for people and pets comes naturally to me. I worked in nursing for several years before leaving to care for my father full time. I have 3 dogs of my own, and have had 3 previously to these as well. I am a big believer in fresh air and exercise. Let's get those steps in for your 4 legged family member. I don't work a regular job, I care for my elderly father and do some side work here and there. So I am available for walking or drop in visits at a moments notice. I have a fenced in yard and food and treats at the ready. Many leashes and brushes and more. I have 3 dogs of my own that love to play with each other and yours too. I can also keep my dogs away if yours isn't socialized to others.
About: I grew up on a farm, caring for pets of all shapes and sizes! I've had many dogs over the years, from young to old and big to small. I am experienced with giving medication, baths, nail trims and love! I am very adaptable to your pets needs. For the summer, I work weekdays two hours a day with some volunteer work on the side. I have occasional shifts on my campus that may be longer but will know in advance if I am available that day or not to make sure the pet sitting does not overlap. Starting August 25th, I have classes that last 3-4 hours during the day Monday-Thursday. If your pet can wait that long for me to come back, I am available to book! I am still fully free Friday-Sunday. I am able to host pets in my apartment! I live in an upstairs apartment and spend most of my time there. I have a 360°camera installed to watch your pet if I have to spend any time away. My apartment complex has a spacious lawn that is entirely fenced in. In my clients home, I am extra careful to follow any house rules. In case of overnight caretaking, I am comfortable with any sleeping arrangements (couch etc.). My top priorities are your pup and your preferences!
About: I have been taking on the responsibility of training and caring for my puppy for over three years! Through my efforts, my dog has undoubtedly developed a strong bond with me and has benefited from the loving care and attention. Caring for a dog also requires a great deal of responsibility, from feeding and exercising to providing medical care and attention. I am committed to meeting your furry friend needs. ❤️ I am currently working from home. With my flexible work schedule, I can walk your pet every week, or just drop in to check on them. I am able to stop by at your home to feed, play and walk your puppy! But let’s meet first to make sure your furry friend likes me.
