We are an active crew and typically head out for a ride and a run first thing in the morning. I am primarily sitting on weekends as I am back to work in the office. Should you need care M-F they would have some time unattended, typically not more than 4-5 hours and kennels optional for trained dogs. Weekend time will entail LOTS of play and activity! My boy Fezzik is the best greeter, and we love new friends!

Julie is wonderful! Her communication is stellar and she sends cute pictures of my dog when they go for drives and walks. Her home is conveniently located if you want to drop your dog off on your way out of Des Moines!
