Doggy Day Care in Somerset, Des Moines, IA

“Jessica was great and Ginsburg had a lot of fun playing. Convenient location, great updates through the day from Jessica and easy to work out schedule options with my travel and variances. Jessica is a pleasure to work with”

“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!”

“Alexandra is a true godsend. Every time I leave my pets with her, I know they’re getting the love and care they need and a little extra too. ☺️💕”

“Samantha is truly the greatest pet sitter in the area. She is extremely knowledgeable about dog training, behavior, pet care, and is confident in what she does. My dog loves spending time with her, and the moment I pull into her street, he knows where he is at. He has had poor experiences with other day cares, to the point he shakes when I try to drop him off, but when he sees Samantha he starts to get so antsy and can hardly wait for me to open the car door so he can run to her! I have a very large guardian breed and she does so well with him. If you are anxious about finding a great sitter because your dog has some quirks, do not worry. She sees your pet as an individual and works with you and your pet to make sure everyone has the best experience! I do not trust any other person to handle my dog appropriately, other than her! She goes above and beyond every time.”

“My dog had a great first daycare experience with Mackenzie and Anthony. He’s had issues with anxiety with sitters in the past, and did very well with them and their 2 dogs. I highly recommend.”

“I have trusted Nancy with my two pets often. They LOVE her. She delights in their personalities and cares for them like they are her own. She is responsible, has amazing time-management skills and is just an overall lovely person.”

“Cassidy was great with Vinny and updated me throughout the day with pictures. Vinny loved playing and was well worn out at pick up. Will use Cassidy again for my dog care needs :)”

“Ashley is great. I highly recommend her for any task mentioned above. I needed a place for my dog to go very last minute and Ashley accepted without hesitation and made me feel comfortable and welcomed. She took great care of my dog who recently had surgery so he needed actual care and she did it willingly. She’s a super mom. She has a lot to take care of, but she gets it done and does it well. I was a little nervous because we just met, but she sent me pictures and texts every day which eased my mind. I felt very lucky. I will definitely use her services again. 👍”

“Jaden was very nice and easy to work with. He was very quick to respond. He sent pictures during the couple hour day care. Winston was happy when we came back. Will use Jaden again.”

“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!”

“Patty is a very responsible, caring individual who would make a great dog sitter. I watched Patty care for her 13 year old dog with a gentle, attentive approach towards the last year of her life. She's watched my pets on multiple occasions and I know she's given them the best care possible!”

“Kevin is trusting, independent and takes direction well. If you ask him to help you out he’s always loyal and generous. We found him to go above and beyond expectations. .”

“Kaitlyn for the longest time I've known them as always loved animals. She would always made sure everyone and their pets get hydrated to always checking on food for animals to make sure their food isn't causing them to be sick. Kaitlyn will always follow instructions in regards to a dog's personality and needs given by the owner. Kaitlyn will approach every animal in their care as if the animal was her own.”

About: I have raised dogs, cats, bunnies, horses, and chickens my entire life. I currently have a Pug and a Boston Terrier, both puppies. I work from home and can provide day care, over nights, walks, pop-ins, etc. I am right down the street from Gateway so if you need a place to drop your animal off on your way to work downtown, I make a convenient drop off location. Very flexible with times. Air conditioning inside, large fully fenced backyard, and walks daily. 24/7 availability for pet care so long as we communicate in advance. I work from home and can be available based on your needs. I am available for drop off and pick up any time. There are a few times throughout the day where I will be driving my kids to and from events. We can communicate and work around those times. I also have a keypad. Animals are watched closely in the home and kept inside the fence in the backyard under supervision. When on walks animals are always on leash and are one on one with me. Separate food and water bowls are used. My yard is cleared of excrement daily. All animals must be up to date with shots and worming and flea/tick prevention.

“She cares about animals deeply and goes above and beyond for any animal/s in her possession. No matter if they are hers or someone else's. She is one person i would personally trust to leave my pet with and not have to worry about them. You couldn't pick a better person to babysit or walk your dog or any animal at that.”
