Doggy Day Care in Reasnor

About: My pets are indoors AND outside because I have safe, pet friendly, separated or joined, sheltered, natural areas where we can all unwind on my seven acres. I'm a retiree who devotes all my time to my grandkids, animals and hobbies. Your pets' needs are provided for at all times whether they are here for a day, week or month as they are included in our family activities. Pets are kept separated or allowed to play together depending on their needs. I provide crates, mats, kennels and even my bed for peaceful sleeping.

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.

“Angie was so great with our guy! She’s extremely accommodating to schedule changes and was exactly what we needed while back visiting family. If we come back this fall she will be the first one we check for availability!”

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.

“Ashley has been awesome to work with even with a last minute booking. Gus did extremely well with her and I will continue to use her!”

“Very accommodating on very short notice. Paige took great care of Cricket while I dealt with an emergency with another pet and I was able to rest easy that Cricket was in good hands!”

About: I am a homeschool mom. I have had several dogs over the last 26 years from blue heelers, labradors, a lab/dane mix and most recently an Australian Shepherd. I've house-broken and crate trained all my puppies and we also adopted an adult rescue dog and acclimated him to family life. I've taken different obedience courses over the years and most recently am working on Rally Obedience with my aussie. My family, which includes my husband and two teenage daughters love dogs of all sizes and ages. I’ve got a very large fenced in back yard, a fun loving Aussie, and am home most of the time to give your fur baby lots of love and attention. I have recent experience in dog obedience and have house-trained puppies. I love to walk dogs and give them lots of attention. Because I homeschool, most days I am home and able to attend to dog or puppy care. Our two year old Aussie loves to play with other dogs and has earned his CGC-A. Backyard play or leash walking would be part of your pets care. On occasion we may go to a park and our dog often accompanies us. I have a large fenced in yard with lots of shade and green space to run around in. I have crates of various sizes to keep your dog safe and comfortable at night, when we leave for an errand or to retreat to as needed.

About: I have owned cats and dogs since I was a kid! I grew up on a farm and have loved every animal I’ve encountered. My animals are my family. I have experience in training, grooming, and spoiling every animal with love. After all, they only know us they’re entire life. I have two dogs so how does pet care fit into my daily routine? It is my daily routine! Dogs usually wake me up around 5:30 to go outside so we get up, first feeding of the day right after that. My dogs usually let me know when they need to go outside by ringing the jingle bells on our door. They spend a lot of time in our big backyard while I’m gardening or doing yard work. We like to play fetch and go on walks often. Nail trims take place every now and again when needed, as do baths. After a long day for me (naps for them and barking at squirrels) we cuddle up in bed for the night. We have a big fenced in backyard (an acre to be exact)! Can easily follow any crate or potty schedule as needed. Anything your animals need we can provide :) I am mainly stay at home 24/7 however sometimes I run errands and just need to get out of the house! Pet care is my daily routine! My dogs schedules are pretty relaxed. Dogs wake me up early around 5-5:30 and we go outside, come in and eat. They let me know when they need to go outside but typically I am in my garden most of the time so the door is open for them to come and go as they please. I always keep a close eye on all dogs when they are here. I follow whatever schedule is given me for other dogs so they are not thrown off. We have plenty of rooms in the house if they need to be fed alone. I love being able to create a safe space for the dogs to take a little vacation!

“Kiah was great with Zeke. She took care of him and had a play date set up for him to play with another boxer. Pics showing him having a good time. Would recommend and we'll be back. 🙂”

About: Hello! I have loved animals all my life. I went to Iowa State University to get a bachelor’s degree in Biology! While at ISU, I was a caretaker at the Insect Zoo, caring for and presenting all sorts of creepy crawlies. I have several years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and reptiles. I volunteered at the local humane society for several years! I love learning new things and am always reading up on how to take the best care of my pets as possible. I have raised many kittens from birth and have experience giving medications to senior cats and dogs. I live on a farm now with lots of kitties and chickens! My #1 goal is to ensure the comfort and safety of your pet while you are away. I currently have one indoor cat, Luna and a puppy named Winston. They are fed twice a day, morning and evening. They get hours of cuddles and play time and always has a clean environment to thrive in. My husband works from home, so they get a ton of attention! We bought a farm in October 2023 and outside we have 14 chickens. By the end of the year we will also have goats! We have almost five acres to run and play on while your pet is here. Animals in my home are treated as family members. Anyone that knows me knows that my animals are my life. I like to know every detail about your pet to best care for them. There is no such thing as “too much” information when it comes to caring for your pets!

About: I have been working with dogs since I was in fifth grade. I started off as an avid dog show girl and I learned quickly how to train dogs and realized I love working with animals. I started teaching other people how to train dogs when I was 15 and when I turned 18 got my license to judge dog shows! I have had dogs come to my house when they were puppies and I taught them basic commands while I watched them for a week. For the past few years I have done sitting in the dogs home, but now that I have my own pup I am starting to board here. I have worked with dogs of all sizes, ages, and with different mannerisms and I aim to make them feel at home in my care. I have experience giving injections and oral medicine, as well as caring for dogs who can not easily get around on their own. I currently work in West Des Moines, if you book me during the week for overnights I will be gone during the days but drop in over my lunch for potty breaks! On the weekends I try to stay at the house as much as possible unless you just need short drop ins! I will always make sure I know the best way to care for your babies! Whether it is always watching the door for escape artists, or double checking their harnesses before every walk. I want you to always feel and ease and I do not take this job lightly, as these are not just animals but a member of your family!

About: I've always been fascinated by canine behavior and have tried to learn all I can about training methods of all kinds. I loved to walk with my dog and train her to do tricks and how to behave around the house. Although she was about 65 pounds, I taught her how to act gently around my 3-year-old nephew. Sadly, she passed away a few months ago. I want to continue to share the knowledge and techniques I've learned while exploring the great outdoors with furry friends of all sorts. Beyond my own dog, I have some experience with dogs of all ages, shapes, and sizes. I have also done grooming like combing, bathing, tooth brushing, and nail clipping. The bottom line is that I am happy to do whatever care your companion needs. :)

About: I love animals! I was the go to neighborhood pet sitter as a kid, and have enjoyed so many dogs and cats over the years. I'm a stay at home mom to older children. I love walks and enjoy the challenge to wear high energy dogs out in all seasons! I will follow your specific care and/or exercise instructions to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible and well loved while you are away.

“This was just about as easy as it gets. Dropped Kayce off with a good conversation before I left. Picked him up with another good conversation about how he did and headed home. Normally when I pick him up from doggy daycare he just goes to sleep. He seemed relaxed and not completely worn out. It was great!”

“Sirena and her family took great care of Gordo! The dogs played around in her yard and had a blast! This is his second stay and she will always be my preferred carer in Iowa.”

“Megan did a spectacular job with our puppy, Duke! She was very prompt and professional in her responses. Megan took care of Duke for a week with a last minute request and we are extremely grateful that she was able to take him. He was really young and we had never used Rover before, but Megan did a spectacular job and made us always want to use Rover going forward with any of our dog daycare or boarding needs. I highly recommend Megan to anyone that wants their dog to have great care and a loving home while having daycare or being boarded. We cannot thank Megan enough!”

Chance J.

“Cindy was awesome with our puppy! She was very flexible with the drop off/pick up time and she made our pup feel safe and loved. We picked up a happy/tired dog and now know that we have a trusted person to take care of her from now on! Thank you!”

About: My husband and I have 8 Huskies that we have rescued. I have a ton of patience and lots of love. Your dog will be considered as part of our pack. I will be the one taking care of your baby. I work at a hospital 4 days a week. Our dogs are kenneled for their safety while I'm at work. They are fed twice a day (morning and night) and walked 2 miles a day We do not have a fenced in yard, but we do have tie outs so your dog will be safe. They are allowed on the furniture and we have a full basket of bones and toys to share.

About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats, horses for over 40 years I love all types of animals. In addition I have a variety of wildlife I feed all year long. I’m home all-day long so, lots of time to love on your animals while you are away. We can go on walks then nap on the couch. I live in the country so lots of room for them to play, or have time to hangout at your familiar home with them as needed.

About: Not only have I had my own animals most of my life but for 3 or 4 years I was also a foster home for the breed Weimaraner. Animals are like my kids and so will be your animals. Would prefer to discuss with each animal owner what is needed as I work full time but I am flexible so would like to be contacted. I am very protective and treat all animals as my own whether they are in my house or there own. If I’m my home or there own I would follow there owners instructions on what is required.
