Dog Boarding in Des Moines

Kristina is the best - she always makes sure my dog is safe and happy, and is so thoughtful in her care of animals. Thanks for taking care of Maurice while we were away!!

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.

David and Betty are amazing took such good care of our fur babies that both take medication and one is special needs! I highly recommend them!

Sammy was such a great dog sitter for our Sunny! She was very communicative and sent us videos and photos throughout his stay. He seemed to have had such a great time at her place. We already have another stay booked with them!

Our pup LOVES her time with Debra! Communication is frequent and clear. She loves to share cute photos of walks and play and just laying around snuggling. So happy to have Debra as a Rover option when we need to get away.

Both Daisha and Tam are such wonderful human beings. Thank you so much for your great care to my Cocoa.🥰 No stress, almost 4 weeks… we were at peace that Cocoa was staying with you. Thank you both!!!!

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

Josef was great with my Ollie :) knowledgeable about the breed, friendly, and great with communication. I will definitely have Josef watch Ollie again

We are very appreciative of the care Lindsey and her family gave our little guy. I was impressed with how gentle the boys were with the dogs. We will definitely be using Lindsey again.

Ashley did a fantastic job caring for our dog while we were away for 10 days! Our dog can be anxious and Ashley and her family made her feel at home, made sure she had daily enrichment and playtime, and provided lots of updates. Her fenced yard was also a bonus as our dog loves to sniff and explore. We would absolutely use Ashley again in the future!!

Molly is the BEST! Took our dog to the mountains so she could play in the snow! They are always taking her on adventures and she comes home so happy and tired! Piper always gets so happy when she knows she is going to Molly’s house for play time! Molly is also very flexible with pick up and drop off times and sends us lots of pictures during their time together! We love sending our pup to go on adventures with them!

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.

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.

We have a senior dog who needs extra attention and Erika went above and beyond to care for him when his separation anxiety and stress levels went up. She provided lots of photos and timely updates throughout the stay.

This was our first time using Rover and first time using Maria. Maria was amazing to your 17 year old Pappion named Bella. Maria gave us multiple updates a day including photos and videos of Bella interacting with the other dogs and with Maria. She is thoughtful, caring and is always looking out for the health and welfare of our pet. I would recommend Maria to anyone looking for a place to board your small dog. We are already booking Bella's next stay with Maria.

Abigail was wonderful. Our silly pup ate something she shouldn’t have the day before her stay and Abigail handled our dog who had an upset belly with grace and patience. She sent pictures daily and was quick to respond! I highly recommend Abigail and we will definitely use her for dog sitting in the future.

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.

Bree watched my son Cronos (1 year old german shepherd), for 3 days and did an incredible job. She took fantastic care of him, kept me updated, and made sure he felt right at home. It’s such a relief finding someone so trustworthy and attentive to leave your pet with. Cronos loved his time with her! I’d highly recommend Bree to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter, and I will definitely be booking with her again.

Leslie took such wonderful care of my Mochi, who has separation anxiety and is a notorious picky eater. He got plenty of walks and love, and I got constant photo and video updates. Thank you SO MUCH, Leslie!! We are so happy we met you, now we don’t have to stress about our vacations anymore!

Molly is an absolute gem! From our meet-and-greet, it was clear she’s not only the coolest person with incredible hobbies, but her home is also heaven on earth for dogs with so much space to explore. Poppy had a fantastic time and came home completely worn out from all the fun! Molly's daily updates kept me connected while I was out of state; I love to know that Poppy is thriving in someone else’s care. I will definitely book with Molly again. Poppy will be over the moon to return! If you want someone who treats your pet like family, Molly is the one! 🐾❤️🌿
