Doggy Day Care in Perry

“Samantha was so amazing with my 3mo puppy, Cooper! It was our first time using Rover and she made it so comfortable with great communication, the cutest pictures, and even artwork. I can’t recommend her enough. I know Cooper is already looking forward to his next visit! Thank you so much, Samantha!!”

“Jen and her family are amazing and I think our pup Nila would go to their house to visit every day if she could. Nila initially had some anxiety from some bad past experiences when Jen first started watching her, and Jen was incredible at helping her feel safe and gain confidence back. And her own dog Mia does such a good job of respecting Nila’s boundaries but also encouraging her to play and get out of her comfort zone. Jen treats every dog with so much love and care as if it was her own, and goes above and beyond any expectations we had.”

“Ivana did an amazing job! She treated our puppies like they were family, and they looked forward to going to her place every day. We will definitely have our pups stay with Ivana again.”

“The friendliest Rover parents Ellie and Ember have ever had! Great communication and perfect back yard for playing. Would absolutely use them again.”

“This was the first time my dogs have gone over to her house and they loved it!! They loved hanging out with her dog and just being able to be around someone all day! She was very sweet and attentive to their needs!”

About: I love animals and have been taking care of family and neighbor pets since I was young. I previously worked at a veterinary clinic and have experience taking care of dogs of all size and ages! We have an active 6 year old golden retriever, and a 9 year old cat who we love very much! I am a 1st grade teacher, and love to spend my summers taking care of pets. I am home all day in the summer, and can make sure dogs get plenty of attention and outdoors time! We have a fenced in yard and a friendly golden retriever who loves to meet other dogs. We like to take walks on the trails around our neighborhood, and play in the backyard.

“Sherilynn is the absolute best! Daisy loves going to her home! She knows the days that she goes and she is always so excited to see Sherilynn and her family! When I pick Daisy up, she is always disappointed to have to leave her friends!”

“Max had a great time with Alok, and felt super comfortable! He was able to make a new dog friend and get some outside play. Would definitely take him back.”

“I loved all the pictures of Rex throughout the day. They really made me feel that Rex was being well cared for. I loved seeing that he was able to relax in his surroundings and hang out with friends.”

“Tamara is just fantastic. She was great and attentive to my dog and her dogs are so sweet and got along perfectly with him! She has a giant yard for them to play and he came home every time just so happy and relaxed! He slept like a baby both times! He clearly loved her, her kids, and her dogs! Such a wonderful family and home! She did such a great job at such a great price! I can’t recommend her enough! I will try and book her first when looking for anything regarding care for my dog! Thanks Tamara!”

“This was an amazing experience! I needed to make a trip to Ankeny and couldn’t leave my dog home for that long of a time so I hopped on this app and found her, so glad I did! He was a little scared at first but shortly made himself at home. Good communication and she sent photos! Made me feel good 💕I will be contacting Meagan again!”

“Samantha is so great to work with! She follows directions perfectly and takes excellent care of all the (3) dogs we’ve had her sit for (doggie day care). She communicates effectively and timely and we never have to worry.”

Kim W.

“This was literally the best experience ever! She was always updating me and took lots of pictures. Her and her family took such great care of my puppy and treated her like their own. I seriously recommend and I will definitely be bringing my puppy back!”

About: I have had pets my entire adult life, and I know how important it is to you to find the right person to take care of them while you’re away. I am committed to taking care of your pets like they’re my own, and I’m excited to provide lots of love and fun! I work from home, and my husband is a full time dad, so we’d be happy to spend time with your pets, go for walks as a family, and see to their every need! We have pet gates throughout the home, extra kennels if needed, and a fenced in yard. We are also comfortable giving medication orally or via injection if needed.

“They are so lovely! A massive yard for Ace to run in which he definitely needed. Her dogs are so friendly and playful. Her children are also very helpful and respectful in asking if they can give my dog one of their dog toys. Will definitely be coming back!”

About: I’ve taken care of fur babies of all kinds since before I could walk. I grew up with a dog and cat always in tow. I lived in the country, so learned fast that the world can be hard for an animal, thus beginning my rehab ‘career’. As I got older, I pet sat for neighbors and family friends. In my mid 20s I trained as a vet tech, prepping animals for surgery, giving vaccinations, nail trims, etc. Until the ISU Wildlife Clinic closed, I volunteered there, learning more care for wild native animals. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, I can’t imagine life without animals. I currently have a senior border collie named Lola, she has arthritis so sometimes she needs help getting around and I’m always willing to help my girl. I also have a senior cat. Currently I’m a doordash/grub hub driver, so I literally am free 24/7 to care for your pets! I will prioritize Rover over delivery, so I can work with any schedule you need. I’m available for repeat needs (several walks a week, drop ins, etc). I live in a duplex with a yard. For me to board a pet, they would need to get along with my dog, and she can honestly be a bit grumpy meeting new dogs, so I feel going to the client’s home would be best. I will respect your home and follow whatever instructions you have for the care of your pets.

About: I will care for your pet by meeting their physical and emotional needs. We will play, exercise, relax and have an all around great time. I will follow all of your directions as well as send pictures and videos. I will always be available by text. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend time having fun with other's pet(s). I can tend to pets any time of the day. Safety is my number one priority. I respect moms/dads needs and wants for their pet(s). I love to play and have fun. I will send pictures and videos. I will always be available for calls.

“We feel so fortunate to have found Scott! Our golden retriever has the absolute best time at his house; she comes home tired and happy. And he sends the best pictures showing us what she’s up to throughout the day … I wish my kids’ daycare was this thorough!”

About: My experience in the dog industry goes beyond just boarding or sitting. I have the knowledge, skills, and experience training dogs of all ages and breeds, including service dogs. I currently work part time teaching group classes, leaving quite a bit of my time available to do other things involving dogs. In addition to a safe and friendly place to stay, your dog will get daily enrichment activities and, if needed, house manners training (go to place, leave it, keeping all 4 paws on the floor, going in/out of doorways). I work part-time training group classes, which allows me to have the time needed to care for the dogs staying with me. I'm available for boarding during the week, weekends, most holidays, single overnights and extended stays. My availability for day time sitting can vary but my calendar will always be updated with those times. All interactions between dogs are supervised to ensure those interactions are a positive experience and a safe experience. I don't have a fenced in yard so each time going outside is on leash, so leash manners will be worked on. I have crates and exercise pens for dogs who get crated at night. During meal times dogs are separated from each other as a precaution to prevent resource guarding. I do have a "gated community" inside my house to prevent mischief in the kitchen or going upstairs to bedrooms.

About: I grew up caring for dogs my entire life so far, and cats/exotic animals later on. I had a golden retriever from ages 0-10, two Bichon Shih Tzu mixes from ages 11 into my late teen years, and a mini golden doodle and Bichon poodle mix from my teens until i moved out at 18. I also grew up keeping exotic animals since age 8 with help from my parents, and started caring for them on my own since age 16. I have kept frogs, toads, an anole, and even a praying mantis! My partner and I currently have a Husky/German shepherd mix, 3 cats, a bearded dragon, a red eared turtle, a day gecko, and an american toad. I am well versed in caring for all kinds of reptiles and amphibians of all habitats, including arboreal/tropical, desert, aquatic, etc. When it comes to feedings, any kind of feeders/bugs don’t scare me😅. I currently work part-time, and am a full time student. I am doing online college, and working towards a business management degree. My coursework is online, so my schedule is pretty flexible when it comes to pet care. I am home daily, and my partner has days off on Mondays and Tuesdays. We are both huge animal lovers, and have endless love to give! I live in a 3 bedroom condo, with a partial non-fenced backyard, so I would be walking any dogs on a leash. We have 3 cats, so we have 2 litter boxes in the house for use.
