Annayah took such good care of our labradoodle while we were away for a week! We especially appreciated the responsiveness when booking as our original dog-sitting plans fell through just days before our trip. Our dog had never been away from us and he showed no signs of anxiety or stress when we picked him up, he got right back into routine at home. Would definitely book with Annayah again next time we have a chance to travel.

Doggy Day Care • Mar 03, 2026

Annayah was communicative, friendly, and excited to meet my dog. She sent pictures showing my dog having a good time with everyone, and she walked him twice the 5 hour stay. I picked up my dog happy and well regulated. I will definitely contact her first next time I’m in Iowa City :) Thanks!

Schedule

Pet care is currently my full-time job, so I get to spend most of my day with the pups in my care! ♡ I’m home throughout the day for plenty of potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, meals, and attention. On the occasions that I do need to step out, I have family at home who help me care for and supervise the pups, so they’re never left alone for long periods of time. There’s almost always someone home to keep them company and make sure they’re happy and comfortable!

Safety, trust & environment

I know how important it is to feel comfortable with the person caring for your pup, so I always treat every dog like I would want someone to treat my own. ♡ I keep a close eye on the pups in my care and make sure they have a safe, calm, and comfortable place to stay. We have a fenced-in yard for supervised potty breaks and playtime, along with doggy gates inside when needed. I follow each pup’s usual routine and any instructions you leave for me, and my family is also around to help when I need to step out. Most importantly, I give every pup time to settle in and never force them into situations they aren’t comfortable with.

Pets

A typical day

Every pup’s day looks a little different depending on what they’re used to at home! I try my best to stick to their normal routine so they can feel comfortable while they’re here. Our days usually include lots of potty breaks, outside time in our fenced-in yard, playtime, walks, naps, cuddles, and plenty of attention. Some pups love following me around everywhere, while others just want a cozy spot to relax, and I’m happy with either! I also love taking pictures, so you can expect lots of cute photo updates throughout their stay. I want you to be able to relax knowing your pup is safe, happy, and getting plenty of love while you’re away. I take photo & video updates daily on my instagram @capypawspetcare 🤎🐶

I’d love to know a little about your pup before their stay! Tell me about their personality, normal routine, feeding and potty schedule, and anything they really love (or really don’t!). Please also let me know about any allergies, medications, health needs, anxiety, or behaviors I should be aware of. Since I have my own little Shih Tzu, Mei Mei, it’s especially important for me to know how your pup does around other dogs.
