Dog Boarding in Merle Hay, Des Moines, IA

“Justin was great to work with! He asked great questions at drop off to get to know our dog and care for him well. Would recommend him and use him again in the future! He was also transparent about other dogs he was boarding the same time ours was there.”

“They did absolutely amazing with my pup! Murphy spent the weekend with Erin and Chris and came home exhausted.. exactly what I was hoping! I received pictures throughout the weekend and felt li”

“Jessica was amazing and took great care if our Sumo while we were on vacation. She was a great communicator and sent us updates everyday. It really made our vacation better because we knew Sumo was being well taken care of back home. I will for sure use her service again in the future!”

“Oscar always has a blast with Casandra. It’s wonderful knowing that when we go on vacation Oscar gets to have a vacation as well. He is always very excited to meet new friends and get pampered.”

“I could tell my dog was so happy during her stay and she returned to us so tired from playing all day. Ashley is great at communicating, treated my dog as her own, and her dogs are so friendly!”

“Elizabeth provided a safe and fun place for our energetic dog to stay and play all week. I think our dog may have been more spoiled than we were on our vacation! I know Elizabeth spent ample time walking, snuggling, and playing fetch. The updates and photos she sent often were comforting and reminded us that our dog was in very god hands. We will definitely be back!”

“This was our first rover experience and I don’t think we could have asked for a better one. Ashly took great care of snoopy and sent me some cute pictures as well. He had so much fun playing with the other dogs. We will definitely be back!”

“Ashley and Oziel did an amazing job watching my dog Maddox. It was my first time issuing rover and they made me super comfortable with it. They sent lots of updates and Maddox had a great time. Definitely will use them again!”

“Lucia was so kind to Winnie and send us many photos of her dogs being so kind to my dog. I can tell Winnie had a blast!!! On top of taking great care of our dog, Lucia was extremely responsive and flexible with her schedule. She was able to watch our dog on last minute notice and she helped us out when our flight was missed! A great sitter, our family highly recommends!!”

“Where do I start, Jennifer is one of the most thoughtful, aware, compassionate, intuitive, patient and respectful human beings that I've ever met. Her love for animals is above and beyond. Jennifer has a special gift of tapping into each animal's individual characteristics/ personalities. She treats every animal as if it were her own and gives 110% when it comes to making sure they feel safe, loved, and fulfilled. I would highly recommend Jennifer to watch anyone's fur babies.”

“Scott was fantastic! Easy drop off/pick up. We got sent photos of our dog each day along with updates, which we greatly appreciated. They have a big backyard, lots of running & playing fetch. We will definitely be going back. Great experience!”

“We came to Iowa for a wedding. Cory took good care of our 2 senior dogs (labs). One has separation anxiety that he was able to comfort and the other took a nap on his bed. He walked and fed them.”

“I’m extremely pleased with the care provided by Megan when she took care of my 2 dogs for 6 days/5 nights while I was out of state on vacation. I had never left them that long with anyone before, and one of mine (Callie) is very attached to me and has some separation anxiety. But my fears were put to rest by Megan’s kind and reassuring manner when we first met and even more so when she sent me updates and several pictures every day to let me know how my pups were doing. She let me know my 2 pups were getting along well with her 2 little dogs, and the pictures reinforced they were making themselves at home. I really appreciated that she has a large fenced in yard for the dogs since mine are used to that. I will definitely use Megan again and am so relieved to know I can leave my dogs with her and they will be well cared for. She is awesome! I highly recommend her.”

“You can just tell right away Dana is good with dogs. I immediately felt comfortable leaving Walter with her. She kept me updated and sent pictures. Walter's a shy fella but i think he warmed up to her pretty easily! Also has a good sized back yard for the dogs to play. We will be seeing her again!”

“Mark and Michelle did an outstanding job watching my daisy. They were by far the nicest people I have ever met on Rover. I got lots of pictures everyday so I could see that daisy was doing good! Daisy came home wiped out from a wonderful week of doggy play with Charlotte and Sadie! Mark and Michelle are the BEST!!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 12. Friends and family have relied on me for pet sitting whenever they are out of town. I currently work full-time Hybrid. I work from home Mondays and Fridays. During this time I can provide care specific to your pet and their needs. I can provide potty breaks every 0-2 hours at least. I have a giant fully fenced back yard and 2 friendly dogs. One dog prefers more to watch the other dogs play while the other dog loves to be in all the action!

“Cally she is very nice, she takes great care of my puppy Maya and she was always writing to me, sending me photos so that I would be informed. I recommend Cally and would book with her again.”

“Jenny was so great to work with and Stella had a GREAT time playing with Jenny’s 2 dogs and cat. We will for sure be calling Jenny next time we are out of town.”

“She was wonderful and I already rebooked with her. I got updates and I know that my dogs were happy. Her kids also helped and loved them. It was like they were just visiting in another family. They weren’t just in crates for days. They were with the family.”

“They took extra special care of Pause and made sure he felt at home. They even sent him home with an extra doggie bag of treats!! He is tired out from all the fun and will be staying over again in the future!”
