Doggy Day Care in Des Moines

“Our Bailey is so happy after time with Sara! Sara was able to have last minute modification and changed from daycare to boarding! Thank you Sara!”

“Alex and Amanda are great! We booked daycare for our dog Raine as a trial day before a boarding trip. They sent lots of pics and updates. Raine came home tired from playing and happy. We feel very comfortable leaving Raine with Alex and Amanda for our upcoming trip. Thanks!”

“Crystal was there when I had an impromptu trip to Seattle. She was more than helpful, súper communicative, and just awesome. Crystal sent me photos of all 3 pups who seemed to be happy at the end of the day. Thanks so much Crystal for having Odie, Reggie and Stella ????”

“Christina did an excellent job of caring for our golden retriever, Lucky, during day care. Lucky had a great time playing with Christina’s dogs. I appreciated that Lucky was taken for a walk and that we received updates and photos throughout her stay.”

“Thank you, Gino, for taking care of Gus today! I was definitely more anxious than him since it was his first time as an adult dog staying with someone he doesn’t know. Gino sent plenty of update photos and video throughout the day with text updates on how he was settling in, which eased my nerves. Gus wasn’t stressed or anxious when I picked him back up and so I could tell he was well taken care of. We’re looking forward to more regular daycare visits!”

“Wonderful dog sitter, My dog was smiling each day I picked him up and fell asleep belly up so I know he was super happy with his day. Will be reaching back out soon definitely!”

About: I worked in the vet field from 18-23 years old and gained lots of skills and experience. I can give medications, injections, CPR. I'm great with pets that have anxiety, PTSD, and/or dementia. I'm experienced with senior care and pets with disabilities. I'm dependable, responsible and reliable. Your pets will be given full attention and care with me. Schedule for 2024: P/U and D/O for boarding schedule (I offer $10 pick up and drop off services): 11am-8pm; $45 per night. $60 per night for puppies. Drop in availability: 9:00am-8:30pm; $20 for first pet, $8 for additional pets. $50 basic grooming package; ear cleaning, teeth brushing, anal gland expression, nail trimming, paw pad fur trimmings, bathing and drying with a report card. Drop off 8am, pick up 3-5pm. (All that needs to be provided is their toothpaste and toothbrush, and anything else you would like me to give them during their appointment.) Any basic grooming needed individually is $10. I work from home part time through out the week, so a lot of attention will be given to the pets. I take my boarders with me when I go out for drop in appointments and just have them wait in the car, then give them a nice walk after the drop in. For boarding I give daily walks and I live next to many nice trails to give dogs good exercise and I have a nice little back yard for quick potties and I keep it very clean so there's no chances of exposure to other dog feces to prevent parasites or viruses. And they will be leashed the whole time. I have 2 cats (both with flea control) so if you would like me to board I prefer a dog friendly with cats especially if they're a large breed. But the cats have their own area if need be. They keep to themselves. And the dog will be separated in my room at night. It's a very safe space and they're allowed on the bed and the couch. And I keep it very clean here. I can take 2 small-medium dogs or 1 medium-large dog at a time. I will not book two non-neutered pets from different families. Also let me know if you would prefer your pet to be boarded with no other boarders, I have no problem doing that.

“Enzo had a wonderful day with Han. Everything went smoothly with drop off and pick up and Han was professional throughout the process. She took amazing care of our pup and we will definitely book with her again in the future! Thank you so much, Han! :)”

“Brandon was easy-going, very responsive and took wonderful care of my large and super-active Lab! He sent me nice photos during the day and Atlas was tired and happy when I picked him up. I'd definitely go to Brandon again when in the Seattle area.”

“She is a trustworthy, kind and loving person with dogs. She has taken care of my brother's pet named Karly. Karly loves her very much every time he sees her he moves her tail and runs to her to hug her. He loves to play with her.”

“Thanks to you and your wonderful family! Superstars.”

“Ena is the best! I leave my little Frenchie with her whenever I leave town and I know she is safe and well loved. Ena is so kind and compassionate. You can tell she really loves animals. Recommend 100%!”

“I trust my lil one with Sourabh any day. I am at peace knowing that she is well taken care of, loved and happy. Sourabh makes it a point to understand how she needs to be cared for and what her likes and dislikes are. She is an anxious lil puppy, but Sourabh was so patient and gentle with her. In just a couple of meetings, I could see her trusting him. Now, she is extremely fond of Sourabh. I am soo happy to recommend Sourabh as a caregiver on Rover! You can leave your pets with Sourabh with complete confidence!”

“Martha and her family are extremely caring, warm, and loving of both my fur baby and myself! Feels so nice to really trust her with his care. She walks him, lets him run around and “solar charge” in her big yard, he gets along great with her two dogs! She’s also intuitive, proactive, and very communicative and responsive. She also goes above and beyond. Specifically, she has hand-fed, and even syringe-watered my fickle little fellow (he’s a senior and finicky) I just moved from out of state and am SO LUCKY to have found a place where I know that no matter how stressful my job or life gets, I can trust her with my baby!”

“Susan has been watching my dog for years. She sends updates with pictures and I always know that he’s well cared for and loved when she takes care of him. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a dog sitter or dog walker.”

“Absolutely wonderful experience for our old girl! She went deaf this past 6 months so she gets anxiety attacks but Rikke had her settled and snoozing in no time. We went to visit my nephew at the WAMU when their band played and couldn’t be more grateful and appreciative of the texts photos and care. Thank you Best Westies!! And ZahZah enjoyed her treat you packed in her bag today :-) You’re truly the BEST!!”

“Myrna is an exceptional caregiver whom I wholeheartedly trust to provide safe, loving care and outstanding pet service. Having witnessed her devoted attention to her own dogs, I can attest to her responsible and intelligent nature. Additionally, as a seasoned school teacher, Myrna brings patience, compassion, and a keen sense of responsibility to her interactions. Her kind and accepting demeanor makes her not only a reliable pet sitter but also an exceptional human being. I highly recommend Myrna for anyone seeking top-notch care for their furry companion :)”

“Johnny is such an incredible find! When he's watched our dog, we know our pooch is in just the best hands--with someone who's genuinely delighted to be around him and who welcomes him in as part of the family. Every time he stays over at Johnny's place, we get the sweetest pictures of him enjoying his time with Scotti and Theo, Johnny's two dogs. He is attentive and active--they have a big back yard to play in and even get out and about in parks around them. I HIGHLY recommend Johnny as an excellent dogsitter!”

“I cannot say enough amazing things about Michelle, Max is somewhat of a handful but she was butter in her hands! She knew exactly how to handle him and he absolutely loves her. She sends me pictures throughout the day of all the fun he is having and eases my anxiety and you can tell she is a true dog lover. He has SO much energy and he comes home tired which is great! Highly recommend her to watch your pup :)”

“I couldn't be more happy than with Eli. He came highly recommended by a friend. My dog loves him. Eli is reliable and dependable. Very friendly.”
