Dog Boarding in West Des Moines

“When our new puppy fell into our lap, we were SO EXCITED! She fit right in to our family!! However, within 2 weeks of having her, we had a previously scheduled road trip that didn’t allow for a puppy to tag along. In came Scott to our life! I had never used Rover before, but after meeting Scott, we knew Trooper would be in good hands. We received daily updates, photos, and videos while we were gone…easing our minds that our sweet girl was doing well. She had so much fun run and playing, meeting other dog friends, and forming a special bond with Scott’s own dog. We would highly recommend their services and will definitely use Scott in the future!”

“Justin was great watching our dog Chase for a week! He added all the supplements into our dogs food daily, gave him 1:1 time, let him play everywhere (in his home and the backyard,) and sent us daily update photos and videos of Chase! When we first met Justin he asked appropriate questions about Chase and was very welcoming to us and Chase. We are extremely happy to have someone we completely trust to take care of Chase in the future!”

“Erin and Chris did an excellent job with our energetic little guy! They provided him with exceptional care and love. They went above and beyond to send us pictures through this stay, also! We would highly recommend them!”

“Shelly and her family were great hosts for our 2 dogs - they quickly worked out that one needed activity and one just needed love. We received lots of pics and informative updates, and really hope we have the opportunity to have our dogs stay again. Thank you so much!”

“Taitum was the perfect sitter for my Svenny! She sent me photos and updates throughout the weekend which gave me such a peace of mind! Sven came home tired and happy so I know he was well taken care of all weekend. Taitum’s puppy was the perfect play mate for Sven as well!”

“I cannot say enough good things about Jessica! She has been wonderful to work with. Carl absolutely loves her. He’s always so excited to hang out with Jessica and family. I have to travel a lot for work, and I have never felt uneasy leaving Carl with Jessica. I am forever thankful to have found such an awesome sitter and friend for Carl.”

“Jennifer did a super job of communicating with me about my dog's stay. Her two sons were there also to greet us and my little dog was very well cared for by all 3 of them. I highly recommend Jennifer for excellent care for your pet. There are no other dogs in Jennifer's home so your dog will get excellent attention. Another plus is that Jennifer is a dog trainer, so she really understands dogs.”

“Lisa continues to be awesome with my dogs. She notices behavior and offers suggestions as well. Love getting all the updates and pics so I feel comfortable with her care. As far as location, being close to the airport is a huge bonus.”

“I had a fabulous time staying with Patty and her family! Doggie Vacation Time is the best. I can’t wait to go back again. And my mom was so happy I had such a great time while she was out of town on a work trip. ♥️ Bailey Sue 🐶🐾 (and her dog mom Beth 👩🏼‍💻)”

“I have booked with Jessica a few times now and recommend her to anyone looking for top notch care for their pet. This most recent time I did not realize that my pup had a broken nail before dropping her off and Jessica saw it right away, took her to the vet, and went above and beyond to care for her during her week long stay. Also, my flight back to Des Moines was extremely delayed and Jessica was super accommodating and understanding. Jessica is incredibly responsive and I trust her completely with my dog Iommi. Whether you need a daycare stay or extended stay, Jessica is the person to book with. Thank you so much again Jessica!”

“Ginny provided tremendous care for Kali on an 8 night stay. Her house is a great set up for dogs and I appreciated the updates during the week. I was very comfortable knowing Kali was in good hands.”

“Maggie had a great time. She's an active sporting dog, so having a big yard to run with the other dogs, catch frisbee, and to point birds and squirrels is a must. She came home happy and tired. Samantha sent us lots of pictures daily of her interaction with the other dogs and updates on her feeding times. We'll be a repeat customer.”

“I could tell my dog was so happy during her stay and she returned to us so tired from playing all day. Ashley is great at communicating, treated my dog as her own, and her dogs are so friendly!”

“Ashly was amazing!! She took great care of my dog, Franny came home exhausted. She sent me pictures and updates throughout the day, I had never used rover before so I was a bit nervous but she assured me all would be great and it was, I have no doubt that we will absolutely be back! :)”

“I’m extremely pleased with the care provided by Megan when she took care of my 2 dogs for 6 days/5 nights while I was out of state on vacation. I had never left them that long with anyone before, and one of mine (Callie) is very attached to me and has some separation anxiety. But my fears were put to rest by Megan’s kind and reassuring manner when we first met and even more so when she sent me updates and several pictures every day to let me know how my pups were doing. She let me know my 2 pups were getting along well with her 2 little dogs, and the pictures reinforced they were making themselves at home. I really appreciated that she has a large fenced in yard for the dogs since mine are used to that. I will definitely use Megan again and am so relieved to know I can leave my dogs with her and they will be well cared for. She is awesome! I highly recommend her.”

“Casandra is the best with our babies. Always sending photos and videos. Both of our dogs are worn out when they come home from all the playing and excitement. Highly recommend her.”

“Dre was so beyond good with Mac. He was great at communicating and giving updates on how she was doing and sharing their adventures! You can certainly tell how much Dre cared for my doggo..I truly couldn’t have chosen a better Rover sitter. Mac came home happy as a clam from her stay with Dre! 10/10 would recommend :) thanks Dre!!”

“Elizabeth was very responsive and asked questions to ensure it was a good fit ahead of time. During our dog’s stay she provided several daily updates with pictures and videos. She had him out playing with new dog friends in the fenced yard, and he came home a tired boy. Highly recommend! We will definitely book her again.”

“Bentley stayed with Samantha and her family for the first time last weekend and he had a blast. Samantha was great to work with, provided great pictures and updates while Bentley was with her. Will be using her again and highly recommend! Thanks Samantha!!”

About: My husband and I love dogs. With two people we can guarantee flexible scheduling and the best care. We own three dogs, one of which has had some past aggression issues, so have experience with behaviors. We have grown up around dogs and willingly choose to surround ourselves with them now. We would love to be there for your dogs as well, when you cannot be :) I have open availability during the summers, and keep school hours during the school year, My husband alternatively has multiple days off during the week. We care for pets by providing for their physical and emotional needs but also respecting their boundaries and watching for visual cues they may be giving about their emotional state.
