Doggy Day Care in Pleasantville

“My sometimes anxious blue heeler had never done daycare before, and Savannah and her husband were so great with him! I will definitely reach out to them again if he needs daycare in the future.”

“My first time using rover and Samantha was so great to work with. Easy to communicate with and my pup had the best day with her! He was well taken care of and enjoyed playing in her big back yard. Will absolutely use Samantha again!!”

“She took such good care of our baby, he made new friends and felt safe the whole day. She sent me updates to make sure we felt comfortable. I am so grateful to have someone like her take care of someone so special to us. Thank you so much!!”

About: Dogs have always been in my life. I volunteered at Animal Lifeline for 8 years and had a dog daycare of my own for a while. Dogs are everything and I’d be honored to love on yours. I currently work full time but my day ends at 3 pm so I can be that late afternoon or evening potty break or walk. Weekends are definitely doable as well with pre-arranged time and notice. Should your dog(s) stay with me during the day, I have a fenced yard and no carpet in case of oopsies! If you request that I come to your house I am very reliable, responsible and respectful. I can guarantee a boat load of scritches and belly rubs as well as time for “business”.

“Andrea was a great communicator and I appreciated how responsive she was. Monte seemed really happy when I picked him up and I am sure we will be in touch with Andrea soon for future daycare/boarding opportunities.”

“I was in DSM for a short trip and needed a last minute sitter for my dog Louie and was so lucky to find Kevin had availability to take him for a whole day. I didn’t have time to do a meet and greet, I just trusted the reviews he already had and they are all on point. From start to finish Kevin was responsive, respectful and responsible with me and my dog. I would trust him over and over if I lived in DSM. Highly recommended!”

“My Venus had an incredible day with two other frenchie pups! Miss Alice is so sweet and took excellent care of my baby girl while we visited Des Moines for the first time! Can't recommend her enough!”

About: NOTE: I work weekdays throughout the school year. Still available, but pets will be at home without me on weekdays for about 7 hours. I have owned and cared for dogs for over 25 years. I have cared for small dogs <25 pounds all the way up to large sized Great Danes > 200 pounds. I have been fostering dogs for Safe Paws Iowa for the past 3 years. I am available for a large portion of the summer because I only coach softball outside of the school year. I am very active and would love to share that energy with dogs! Walking, jogging, or just playing in the doggy pool is no issue at all. I currently have two dogs of my own. They can play all together or be kept separated! I also have experience giving dogs meds as some of the dogs in my care have different long term conditions. Can’t wait to meet your precious pups! Please contact me if you have any remaining questions! I am mostly free over the summer and weekends. I run errands or make plans outside of when I’m taking care of pets. Pet care is my priority while hosting! I have a fenced in yard, my own dogs to join in play if wanted, I have gates/doors and a finished lower level where I can separate dogs if need be, and have multiple kennels. I allow my dogs on furniture, but can follow owner house rules.

“Paige and her husband took wonderful care of Sam! I was so excited to find a sitter who works from home and doesn’t have their own pets as these are two requirements as my dog has extreme separation anxiety (needs to be with a human) and is other pet/animal reactive. I look forward to the next time Paige dogsits Sam as I know he is in good hands.”

About: Hi, I’m Ireland! Growing up with dogs, I have years of firsthand experience in caring for them, from feeding and grooming to basic training, and being CPR & FIRST AID Certified making me the perfect fit for any medical emergency that might occur. My passion for animals extends beyond my own pets—I am dedicated to ensuring every animal in my care feels safe, loved, and well-attended to. I prioritize meeting each pet’s needs, including feeding, providing fresh water, regular potty breaks, and plenty of playtime. I understand that every pet has its own personality and requirements, and I take the time to ensure they are comfortable, happy, and treated with kindness. I’m majoring in Animal Ecology and this summer I have online classes so I will be more available than I am in fall, winter, and spring. On weekends, I travel home to care for my family’s animals, further reinforcing my commitment to animal welfare. I love to make sure that your pet feels at home even when away from home, I can mimic your daily schedule as best as possible and provide as many or as little updates as you wish! Whether it's every other day or every hour, I'll make it happen. There's no smoking or any sort of paraphernalia allowed in my home, as my family has a history of health issues.

About: 👋Hello! Thank you for visiting my profile. From the moment I was born, I’ve had a deep and genuine love for animals, especially dogs. While many of my peers spent their school years babysitting, I was happily focused on dog walking and pet sitting. Over the past 15+ years, I’ve gained hands-on experience volunteering at dog kennels and rescues, learning just how important trust, patience, kindness, and authenticity are when caring for animals. I understand that entrusting someone with your beloved pet can feel daunting, but if you choose me, you can rest assured that I’ll not only build a strong connection with your furry family member, but also with you. Reliability, respect, and attention to detail are at the heart of my approach. I follow your care preferences closely and treat every animal as if they were my own, providing love, safety, and companionship. If you’re looking for a dependable, enthusiastic pet sitter with a lifelong passion for dogs, I’d be honored to care for your pup! I have a very flexible remote work schedule, which allows me to provide attentive, reliable care for your pet. Together, we’ll create a personalized care plan based on your preferences, ensuring your pet stays on the exact routine and schedule you want. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are always my top priorities! I own my home and have a large, pet-friendly yard, providing plenty of space for your dog to play and relax. Before any booking, we’ll discuss in detail exactly what you want for your pet’s care, whether it’s sticking to a specific routine, meeting special needs, or just making sure they get all the snuggles and love they deserve. My goal is simple: to keep your pet happy and safe, while giving you complete peace of mind. Snuggles, playtime, and affection are always included!

About: We have been pet sitting for friends and colleagues for 2 years so thought why not join Rover and do more! Our clients love my family and we love their pets so it makes perfect sense. I have 4 kids, a small dog and two cats and my small pets just hide if a visiting pet is too much for them otherwise they don't get bothered or bother anyone else, human or pet! I work from home and I have 4 kids who love cats and dogs and love to help out with the dogs that we already provide services for. We are trusted with hideaway keys to homes to let dogs out and we run them in fenced in yards to burn energy. Then we make sure they have food and water and kennel them if applicable before we leave. In our house, visiting pets are watched over by all members of the family. Sometimes we buy them their own special toy to play with. We make sure they eat and get any meds they might need.

About: Dog owner for 10+ years. We have a fenced in back yard with close proximity to the trails at Easter Lake for long walks around the lake. My husband and I work from home so the dogs will never be alone and will be let out frequently for play and potty breaks. My husband and I work from home full time so we are able to care for a dog at any time during the week or on the weekends. I have a fenced in backyard with 2 dog friendly boxers that will offer your dog company and plenty of play time. The dogs will also get plenty of attention from our dog loving children.

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals, my attention to detail, and my experience with all ages—from energetic puppies to senior pets that require gentle care. I’m reliable, communicative, and always prioritize your pet’s comfort, safety, and routine. Whether it’s giving medication, reinforcing training, or just providing companionship, I treat every pet like family. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine. I work Monday to Friday during the day, but I’m fully available early mornings, evenings, and all weekend. I ensure that each pet receives the time, attention, and care they need, even outside of my work hours. Caring for animals is a priority and something I genuinely enjoy doing. I care for pets by creating a calm, loving environment in both my home and clients’ homes. I follow their routines closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I provide plenty of affection, monitor behavior and health, and ensure they feel safe, secure, and at ease. Each pet is treated like family.

About: I've been an animal lover since childhood. If I can't adopt each one, at least I can provide a safe, playful, and loving temporary environment I am a stay at home mom which means I am available for your fur baby days, evenings, weekends, and holidays. Care at your convenience. I have 1 dog who are very precious to me. I lovingly care for her daily with proper nutrition, walks, and love. I proudly bring her places with me.
