Dog Boarding in Des Moines

I absolutely recommend Kristina! She’s not only incredibly caring but also such a wonderful person. She took amazing care of Georgie and made sure to keep me updated every single day with the sweetest pictures of my fur baby. I could tell he was happy and well-loved—she took him on trail walks, kept him active, and gave him her full attention the entire time. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!

As a repeat client, we left our dog with Daniel and Joelle’s family for a one week holiday stay, and once again they were amazing. Daniel and Joelle’s family is such a loving, sweet family. We are so thankful they shared all that love with our furbaby, Dooboo! As soon as we arrived, our dog was pulling with excitement all the way to their door. He just could not wait to see them again. We received plenty of updates every day, and it was so clear from every photo and message that he was happy and loved. In the past, when we boarded him somewhere else for a week, he would start to seem a bit sad toward the end of the stay. But with Daniel and Joelle’s family, he was joyful the entire time. My husband and I even joked on the way to pick him up, “What if he does not want to come home and wants to stay with them forever? 😂” Honestly, I think he may have accepted them as his second family. Thank you so much for giving our dog such amazing care while we were traveling to visit family. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such wonderful hands.

The best! We have never left our dog with any besides a family member previously. After moving, this was no longer an option, we needed to find other options. We were incredibly nervous but Sam put all our anxieties to rest. Our dog a has a few quirks and special needs, Sam was an absolute gem in accommodating his needs. Our dog got lots of snuggles and we got lots of updates. Sam is knowledgeable, kind, and attentive with Raulo. In fact, he didn’t want to come home and rather stay with his new besties! We have already rebooked for a future trip.

What an incredible experience for our little pup! David and Betty have truly been the most caring sitters. Prince and I are absolutely thrilled to have found a second home that showers him with so much love and attention. Thank you both from the bottom of our hearts! 💕✨

Rosa was beyond amazing! She was very trustworthy and treated our Hiro like he was their own. It was hard being away from him over the Holidays, but we knew he was in good hands. She sent daily updates and photos/videos and he came back in one piece and not one pound less (saying something for a pup that starves himself when nervous)

The ultimate review: When we went to take our dog back home, she walked back to the door of the house instead of towards the car! We can't say enough about how perfect Alex and Amanda were. Boarding space, play space, communication, attention to our concerns, everything. We will be back for sure.

Bailey enjoys his visits w/Erika & her family. He is treated with much care & is like part of the family. Bailey gets his daily exercise in their large yard, always gets his scheduled meds & loves his playtime w/the baby & his buddy Jet. Bailey looks forward to his next visit w/them. Grateful for the daily updates & pics/videos & the special attention to his care.

It was our first time boarding our fur baby. From the pictures and communication we received, it went very well and Bear made new fur friends as well although it also appears he hogged all of the dog toys to himself. Thank you so much for taking great care of him.

Tamar was great with our two dogs, she took really good care of them. Doggos were extremely tired when they came back home, which is always a good sign!

Rya was phenomenal with our two doggos for a week long trip! She was very communicative, asked questions, and really cared about the dogs experience. She sent frequent pictures and updates and I was fully satisfied knowing they were in her care! I highly recommend a booking with rya we will be using her for our next trips!!

It is very apparent that Sourabh & family love dogs. They not only have a dog of their own, but they are also fostering another dog. From the photos and videos that Sourabh sent I could see Ada was having a great time with them. Sourabh's communication was awesome.

I never knew that leaving your pup with a “sitter” could be such an incredible experience for me and my pup Dolce. This was Dolce’s second time with Marisol (and Milo) and she was SO excited to be back and did not want to come home with me. We felt bad taking her because she loves it over there sooo much! I know this because Marisol sends frequent, much appreciated updates, photos and videos of all of the fun and spoils Dolce is having. It is a wonderful feeling knowing that your pup is happy and safe when you’re away, and I can’t wait for Dolce’s next visit with her doggie boyfriend!

Cyndi is awesome and always takes great care of our Sadie. Our pup hates fireworks and Cyndi did a great job making sure she was comfortable.

Yixin (Bree) and family are THE BEST! Don’t hesitate…BOOK NOW! My pup and our family cousin dog in town had a blast with Yixin during our family events. Great communication and flexibility when our schedule changed. Our girl always comes back happy and I know her interest in nonstop petting is honored more than at home! 😉 You won’t be disappointed with Yixin and her family. Thank you Yixin!

I don't think I could have asked for anything more in taking care of my little buddy Monty! Brandon was very responsive and a great resource for future travel. He sent pictures and feedback over the four days - which was very reassuring when out of town. I'd highly recommend his services.

This turned out to be the perfect place for Ginsburg! Rikke and Larry Gave him loads of attention and love, along with walks in the woods, and they were faithful about getting in touch with us each day. This is the first time we've left him so it really helped us relax, knowing he was being well taken care of. The other thing we appreciated was their huge yard that wrapped around the house with a doggy door they immediately thought him how to use, I'm sure he loved the independence of coming and going as he wished.

Debra made me rest easy! She was very communicative with both texts and photos so I could see how happy our dog was with her the entire stay. Thank you, Debra!!
