“Kelsey was wonderful with our girl Bonnie! Bonnie is a little anxious at first and has a bit of a loud mouth 😂but Kelsey was patient and had her relaxed and playing/napping in no time. We will absolutely trust her with Bonnie again.”

“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.”

“Kevin and Ricky were very nice. My Ollie loved meeting them and played well with Ricky. Kevin communicated well and I had no worries knowing he was caring for Ollie.”

“It has been a privilege to have met Ali. Her joy over these silly, unique, fun, and personable dogs is infectious. Ali helped to train my dog! Ali helped me to better train my dog! Ali excellent communication skills, easy laughter and a person I could count on. Both Gracie and I will miss her greatly as we have to move out of town. But between Gracie's nose and my memory, we will hope to get near her again.”

“Meghann was so responsive when we reached out somewhat last-minute and communicated seamlessly while providing care for Monte. Would absolutely recommend Meghann and we’ll be using her again!”

About: I believe that animals were put on this earth to show us how to love! The least we can do is return the favor ❤️ I work from home so I have all the time to show your pet love away from home! When I'm not working I have most evenings and weekends available to check in when they are at home! I have a Fenced in yard and two dogs to keep your pup company! I also have an XXL crate needed if that helps comfort them, so that they have their own space when needed!
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 from home so doggie day care is definitely doable! My day ends at 3 pm so I can be that late afternoon or evening potty break or walk. Weekends have potential 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! 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”.
“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: I have been taking care of a dog almost all of college. I have also been taking care of my 15 year old cat for most of college as well. She was recently diagnosed with thyroid disease so that has been another obstacle that we have had to work through caring for her! I grew up around animals and was an only child so I was the one that had to take care of our dogs and cats growing up. I love taking dogs on walks and cuddling with any dog possible! I look forward to working with you and your fur-baby soon! I am currently working very part-time as I wait to move states to continue on with school and attend nursing school. I will be home quite a bit during the weeks and have a very flexible schedule especially during the days! I have one puppy myself that will keep any of your fur-babies busy! I also have an elder cat that loves to chill and lounge. I take the dogs out on a leash everytime I let them out and will tend to usually take them on a short walk during every potty break.
“Above and beyond, thats about how I describe Tanya and her family. We have a very shy rat terrier mix with high anxiety and in just a few minutes warmed up to this dog loving family and played like shes known them all her life. Spending the whole day (over 12 hours) we had absolutely no worries and nothing but pure confidence. The photos she took were fantastic! If you need someone to care for your fur baby for a while, look no further than Tanya!”

“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.”

“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!”

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. I am currently in college, so I do have classes 4 days a week (Mon- Thurs). I am only away from home 4 hours at the most, and can make stops in to my apartment between classes on longer days. I am able to host pets in my apartment! I live in an upstairs studio apartment and spend much of my time there, when not in school. 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!
McKinley School dog parents share their Rover experiences
Priscilla and her partner were so good with my dog. They sent lots of videos and pictures, were so flexible with pick-up/drop-off and available last minute! They even gave her a toy when she left 🥺 would highly recommend them! We had such a good time at the state fair knowing she was in good care.

Rylee was a responsible and responsive sitter. She took great care of my elderly pup, feeding her, administering medication, sending me pics in a regular basis and making sure she stayed happy and safe. My pup was walked, loved on, given treats and even taken out for a pup cup. When I picked her up on the second day of care, my pup was happy to see me but disappointed to leave her pal Rylee. I will absolutely reach out again for care in the future and share Rylee’s profile with my family in Des Moines!
