Hi, my name is Jessica! I have been around dogs my entire life and have enjoyed caring for our own, friends, family and professionally for the past few years full time. Our family currently has one Pug (Brinley). Don't let her size fool you, she loves to play with all dogs no matter what size! Our family started our Rover journey after using it personally when we needed someone to watch Brinley. We loved the home environment and thought it was a great fit for our girl. Getting the one-on-one attention in a not so overwhelming environment, was so important to us. I've spent years training and caring for dogs of our own! From Pug’s to Mastiff’s, i've worked on basic obedience, crate training and etc. I love to find out what you as an owner are working on at home, as we strive on working on the fundamental skills while you are away too. I love seeing our puppies and enjoy watching them grow! Over the years, we have enjoyed our dogs that run laps around the backyard, but also love the ones that just need a great resting spot on the couch. We want to be the best home away from home! We started this journey in our West Des Moines location, but have learned that we needed to provide a bigger spot for our furry friends! 10 mins west off Cumming/Norwalk exit. We currently offer drop off times (7-9:00am) & Pickup times (4-5:30pm) Monday - Friday. Weekend pickup/drop off is scheduled by appointment! To ensure that we are providing the best and safest care in our home, our family is state licensed, bonded and insured through the state of Iowa. We offer Full Time Doggie Daycare throughout the week (Monday - Friday ) and dog boarding drop off. During our daycare time we offer plenty of yard space to run and play, but also work on getting dogs out into their favorite spot (Nature!) and working on building that confidence! We frequently visit dog friendly spots in DSM area (Some local spots we like to hit Raccoon River, Gray's Lake, Nearby Trails & Parks, Dog Friendly Retail spots, and etc!) We are always asking what you are working on home to continue striving with this outside. I always strongly encourage meet and greets for first time guests to ensure it's a great fit for everyone! This is where we open our home to your family as this is the place where we want them to be most comfortable and start getting familiar with surroundings. I have found this is so beneficial during drop off periods and ensuring that your dog is in the perfect spot while you are away. I also encourage a trial daycare prior to a longer stay to ensure it’s a great fit and that your dog will be comfortable in a new environment for a longer period. Safety is a number one priority and our door is always open wide open to all great pups and families! Always a phone call away if you have additional questions. Look forward to meeting you and your furry friend soon! Jessica
