Doggy Day Care in Saint Marys

About: Growing up on a family farm, I have had the opportunity to care for many different kinds of animals (dogs, horses, cats, chickens, goats, pigs and cows). I have taken care of family and friends dogs for the last 20 years. I have raised 5 puppies and have shown a few of them in local shows. My kids are 10 and 7 and love taking our dogs for walks, hikes and playing with them in our very large back yard. I am home all summer and my school year schedule varies so I have plenty of time to take your pup on walks and play with them. I have a large fenced back yard and 2 pups friendly pups. I have the ability to take your dog to either a paved or dirt trail for walks or runs. My dogs walk 4 to 5 miles a day but I can definitely make the walk shorter if needed. I have the ability to separate the dogs if needed. I can also crate the dogs. Our dogs love to lounge on our couches.

About: Pet sitting & boarding in Norwalk, IA. I am a homeschool mom with a Vizsla, a Cavalier, and 4 kids ready to give your pets all the love, play, and attention they deserve. 💛 I am home full time for pets! We are a homeschool family so we are home most of the time to give love and attention! I believe every pet deserves to feel like part of the family, whether they’re staying for the day, overnight, or just stopping by for a visit. My goal is to create a warm, low-stress environment where your furry friend feels safe, happy, and cared for.

“Amazing, as always! Our Rose comes home tired, happy, and loved!”

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was about 12 years old. I’ve had dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs. My friends and family have asked me to watch their pets many times as well. I am home during the week so I am almost always available! I work on weekends so I am at home during the week. My child goes to daycare so it is just me and our 3 cats and 1 dog! Water is always available to all the animals. All small choking hazards are picked up. We use baby gates to separate the animals from potentially harmful areas such as the kitchen and bathrooms. We have an unfenced backyard but my Australian Shepard is trained and does not run.

“Scott and Brinley were a perfect answer to our needs on Black Friday. Teddy and Teesa were not only well cared for, they must have had a wonderful time, because they were totally exhausted when they got home. Many thanks for the help!”

“Samantha was absolutely wonderful. It was easy to set up - our first time using rover. Communication was prompt - she was so pleasant and we felt very comfortable with our dog staying at her house. Can't say enough - she was great, and we would love to have more bookings with her.”

“Tanya is outstanding! Our meet and greet was thorough and she asked me questions that I wouldn’t have thought of that helped her care for my dog just as we do. She took lots of photos and videos through the day and went above and beyond with Zoey - they played inside with toys, outside in the pool and ran around and she even took Zo on errands! Would absolutely recommend her to anyone!”

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 from home so doggie day care is definitely doable! My day ends at 3 pm so I can be that late afternoon or evening potty break or walk. Weekends have potential as long 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”.

About: I have cared for animals most of my life. I have cared for common house pets, rodents, birds, reptiles, and even live stock/ farm animals. My life goal is to become a vet and I have experience taking care of special needs animals. I currently work Monday - Friday 9 hours a day but will be home by 4. I live in a 3 bedroom apartment with 2 friendly cats that have both been raised around dogs most of their lives. There is also a park down the street that is just a few minutes walk. At the moment I do ask that if your furry family member will be a guest over night that a crate is provided for safety of your family and my own. I can care for your furry friends before I leave for work and after I return from work. I am also free most weekends and can watch them from Friday to sunday Your furry friends will not have access to anything harmful and will be allowed on my furniture. For their safety and mine at night I will have them sleep in a kennel.

“Corkie loved her doggy day care time playing with Bailey and Iggy in their big backyard! This was her first time away from home and it went so well! Will definitely have Sherilynn watch her again!”

About: I believe that animals were put on this earth to show us how to love! The least we can do is return the favor ❤️ I work from home so I have all the time to show your pet love away from home! When I'm not working I have most evenings and weekends available to check in when they are at home! I have a Fenced in yard and two dogs to keep your pup company! I also have an XXL crate needed if that helps comfort them, so that they have their own space when needed!

“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!”

“What a wonderful daycare for our 11 month old, high energy black lab. Mackenzie had to deal with a lot from our Eddie, and she handled him so well. Her other dogs are such a delight, fun and happy!”

Matt D.

“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!”

Audrey L.

“Heather has been taking care of my pup, Junie for a few weeks. Between her and her two kids, they make sure my girl is well cared for. I never worry about Junie when she is with Heather. Heather even takes her for walks of an evening and drops her off. Heather truly goes above and beyond for my girl! Highly recommend her.”

“Pricila was great when we needed a last minute dog sitter while in town! My pup was well taken care of and I loved getting pictures throughout the day!”

“Laurie was great! She sent photos with updates during the day. She is very flexible and she was able to accommodate my schedule. Izzy had a good time and was worn out from playing with Laurie's two dogs. Would definitely recommend and use again!”

Morgan B.

“Sarah was fabulous. We had another Rover set up, but they had to cancel, so with short notice, Sarah was able to take care of your two little dogs. Her communication from booking and throughout the stay was wonderful and she was flexible with times, which was very appreciated. Our miniature poodles are a little shy with small children, but they did not mind running around the very spacious house with her two little boys. We highly recommend Sarah to take care of your dogs.”

“Always great and so accommodating to getting Cricket in last minute. Cricket always seems happy when he gets picked and like he had a good day.”
