Doggy Day Care in Urbandale

“My husband and I are first time dog parents and we were very nervous when dropping of our puppy for the first time, but Samantha was extremely helpful and walked us through the process. We take our puppy to Samantha 3 days a a week and since the first visit, we have seen a huge improvement in our puppy’s behavior and social skills. Samantha takes the time to work on training and socialization. She gives updates and photo’s throughout the day so we always know our puppy is happy and doing well. Any time we have had a special request, Samantha has been very helpful and flexible. We love taking our dogs puppy here and would highly recommend it!”

“Scott was incredibly friendly and easy to book with. They took such great care of our husky Bolt and sent plenty of cute pictures and updates on our boy. They easily accommodated our schedule and had the cutest little pug that our husky loved. Bolt enjoyed his time and got to play and make friends with some adorable dogs, he even got a yummy treat to take home with him at the end. If you are in need of a an excellent sitter who clearly loves dogs and enjoys taking care of them, then we can’t recommend Scott enough! We will definitely be booking again!”

“Jen was an absolute delight and took great care of both of my dogs! She was extremely accommodating and friendly! I highly recommend and will definitely rebook with her in the future as the need arises!”

“Zero loved spending the day outside and in the pool! Such a tired pup for the day! Definitely having her come back again. I’m glad I found another husky house for her to play at!”

“I think Buddy loved it there. Thank you! I appreciate the kindness and all the attention to Buddy and the nice photos. If I need in home daycare, you will be my first choice!”

“Jess and Scott are always our first stop for watching our pup! We have been taking him to them since we got him as a puppy and could not reccomend them enough. Kind people who want nothing more than to make sure your dog is loved and cared for, while still having a lot of fun while doing it. Great people!”

“Really appreciate Megan being flexiable”

“I needed a sitter short notice and Heather was very helpful in accommodating my schedule. Jimmy was happy and healthy when I picked him up. If I'm ever in Des Moines again I'll definitely rebook!”

“Ky and her son watched my dogs while on vacation. They did a tremendous job. Took my dogs for walks and really treated them like their own. I will def be using their services in future. Very caring and great communication. They will do very well on Rover and I highly recommend them!”

“Jessica took amazing care of my baby girl Juniper! Jessica sent me photos and videos throughout the day and Juni looked so happy and was having the best time. She was a tired girl when I picked her up after all of the play time and activities she did throughout the day. I would highly recommend Jessica’s services!”

“Where do I start, Jennifer is one of the most thoughtful, aware, compassionate, intuitive, patient and respectful human beings that I've ever met. Her love for animals is above and beyond. Jennifer has a special gift of tapping into each animal's individual characteristics/ personalities. She treats every animal as if it were her own and gives 110% when it comes to making sure they feel safe, loved, and fulfilled. I would highly recommend Jennifer to watch anyone's fur babies.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 12. Friends and family have relied on me for pet sitting whenever they are out of town. I currently work full-time Hybrid. I work from home Mondays and Fridays. During this time I can provide care specific to your pet and their needs. I can provide potty breaks every 0-2 hours at least. I have a giant fully fenced back yard and 2 friendly dogs. One dog prefers more to watch the other dogs play while the other dog loves to be in all the action!

“First time ever using this app and Lucia made it easy to book with her, nice and responsive! She sent me a video of my dog and that was comforting! Kona was happy and got to play her little heart out! Thank you so much!”

“Really enjoyed Jasmine's flexibility and willingness to work with our schedule! She gave great updates and our pup is tired (in the best way).So grateful she took such great care.”

“I have known Ezequiel for over 8 years. He always takes great care of his two Corgis and I would trust him to take care of my pets and anyone’s else’s! He is attentive and ensures they have a safe a loving home to play, eat and sleep.”

About: I've grown up around dogs and have a passion for animals. I have succeeded in training my current puppy in multiple commands and managed to have him fully housebroken by the age of 4 months. I typically work from home Mondays and Fridays and can check on pets at regular intervals. Occasionally I may run 1-2 hour long errands while the dogs play in the back yard. My current dog is a loving 4 month old Great Pyrenees/GSD mix who has a wonderful temperament and is a perfect early socialization experience for nervous dogs. There is a decent-sized fenced in yard for dogs to run around in complete with a plastic kiddie pool to help cool off on Sunny days. While inside the dogs will be regulated to the kitchen and living areas.

“Dana was able to accommodate a last minute request on a Holiday weekend. Very responsive with messages and remained very flexible with drop off and pick up times. Theo and Piper returned home completely exhausted and very content! They enjoyed their stay! I would definitely recommend Dana to all fur parents!”

“Alexandra and Andy took great care of our pup! Thank you!”

“Missy has always taken excellent care of our pets and our home. I swear my animals love her more than me . : ) She is very reasonably priced and spends as much time with them as she can. She has even put off her own plans to stay home with them.”

“I had a very spoiled and rambunctious golden retriever. Jasper spent a few sessions training both me and my dog prior to a week long vacation where Jasper would be dog sitting for us. Rizzo matured so much in that week and he no longer pulls on the leash and the jumping up on folks has improved immensely. I highly recommend Jasper for all your dog training and sitting needs.”
