Dog Boarding in Des Moines

Kathy was fantastic, she was very responsive, provided excellent updates, had a great environment for dogs and took excellent care of my pup!

Dave & Betty are the absolute best. They took such great care of our little Pomeranian. They kept up all his routines including his mental exercise activities and medications. They sent us numerous updates per day and were super responsive which was great for this nervous mama. He had bitten our previous housesitter but Dave & Betty were confident they could handle him and manage his triggers. We came back to a calm and happy fur kid and no one was bitten. We would highly recommend Dave & Betty. We hope that Kirby is able to stay with them again.

Ashley was so wonderful! She took such great care of our senior lab, Yogi. Communication was excellent, pickup and drop-off were seamless, and she sent sweet photos throughout his stay. It was obvious Yogi was well cared for and happy. We’d absolutely book with her again!

Taylor was absolutely angel, I was so thankful to find that she was able to take care of my baby due to another sitter canceling same day. Taylor took great care of my doggy and sent me updates everyday! Thank you so so much Taylor!!

Dahye was a loving and attentive dog sitter, who sent us pictures and videos while we were away. We felt that our doggie was in good hands the whole time we were gone. And she watched him over Christmas so we were especially grateful that she was available.

Leslie was so amazing. She granted me a meet and greet beforehand which put me at ease. She has a beautiful house with a big back yard. During my trip I was constantly updated on pictures, videos and cute updates on how Drogo was doing. Drogo can be a little anxious and I could tell just by the videos he was having the time of his life. Her gentle nature and sweet disposition was perfect for Drogo. The ultimate cherry on top was the professional photos that I got at the end of the stay. I literally cried. Thank you for taking care of my angel. I will absolutely be using her services in the future.

Kathy was so professional and caring! You can tell from the moment you meet her that she truly cares for the fur babies that come to stay with her and her husband. My dog is my world and I'm always a little nervous leaving her in the care of others, but I felt very comfortable with Kathy and the amazing setup she has for the pups that visit or stay at her home. I think my pup loved her backyard and the other dogs so much, that she was disappointed to leave! Will definitely ask Kathy to board my dog again.

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.

Sarah and her partner were wonderful! They have a beautiful home and took very good care of my sweet baby! I look forward to being at peace while going on vacation when my dog is in their care!

Jordin did such a good job caring for my two large geriatric dogs. They came home happy and tired. I got regular updates during their stay and pictures and never had to worry about a thing. Would definitely recommend!

My dog's stay with Beth was fantastic. Minka stayed overnight with Beth for four nights and was very adaptive and attentive to Minka's needs. Beth was 100% ready to figure out what worked best with Minka and made it a very positive stay. Beth kept me updated with their daily activities and sent tons of pictures which allowed me to feel comfortable and confident with Minka's care during my time away. She let me know how Minka's behavior was with feedings and how she interacted with other dogs and humans. Beth kept Minka active by going to the dog park several times during her stay and gave Minka walks several times a day. Overall, you can tell Beth is a huge animal and dog lover. She definitely made Minka feel at home and tended to her every need. She was very responsive and I will definitely have Minka stay with her in the future.

We love Molly and her family! We know that our Piper is always so well taken care of every time she stays with her! She goes on adventures and gets lots of good love! Thanks for taking care of our pup Molly!

Maria clearly loves caring for dogs. She was a godsend for our older, clingy, anxious rat terrier mix who doesn’t understand boundaries. She even called Sally “perfect”, which was such a relief. Her home and yard are clean and orderly, and aside from enthusiastic greetings, very quiet…even when she has a half dozen dogs! Sally got individual walks and plenty of time to make new friends as well. 10/10 recommend.

Received a lot of updates and pictures on our dog. This was our dog’s first time in a setting with more than one dog. Appreciated all the feedbacks received from Ilse on how he did around them. Although he might have been anxious in that setting, I felt confident Ilse made him as comfortable as possible.

Melinda was great! She was very communicative and sent us lots of updates. We’ll definitely use her again!

Our little guy had an absolute blast with Chloe! He didn’t have much experience with other dogs, but Chloe helped him make a bunch of friends and they all got along great! I had peace of mind going on vacation knowing he was in her capable hands. She is truly a dog whisperer!

Jen took amazing care of my best friend while I was out of town! She definitely treated him like her own, and all the updates and pictures/videos were so personal and detailed. My pup came home very happy and healthy. A much better experience than large-scale dog boarding kennels. I would absolutely recommend Jen to anyone who looking for dog sitting with one-on-one attention, and she will be at the top of my list when I need a dog sitter. :)

We have used Meredith multiple times - she takes great care of Izzy, is super responsive and communicative, took Izzy on short notice and was flexible to extend the booking when our flight was delayed! Highly recommend Meredith!

Very kind and friendly. Dog lover. Took very good care of my dog and gave me great updates throughout our trip. Very kind, very nice. Would take my dog to her again.
