Thank you to everyone who checked in on the facility after the storm! We lost power briefly but were able to get back up and running the next day. Hope everyone wasn't affected too much by that wild storm!

With it being peak busy season, just a reminder to reach out and get any upcoming reservations scheduled as early as you can! We are and have been filling up quickly for these summer months.

IMPORTANT!!

UPDATE (11am 7/16):
As of right now we still do not have power! MidAmerican is estimating we should have power back by 7pm this evening. As of right now all boarding appointments and daycare for tomorrow are scheduled as normal. If you have a pick up/drop off scheduled for today we will text you about options! Thank you!

The Westover staff and current boarders are safe from the storm and the facility is without damage!

There are many power lines and trees down by the facility and Westover is not accessible by Hickman Road. Please take Urbandale Ave from the North if you are needing to come in. Travel is not advised on Hickman Rd at this time.

We do not have access to answer calls at this time. If you have any questions or concerns please DM us here, email us at [email protected] or text us at 515-518-0662 (note that this is a text ONLY number and we are not able to complete phone calls through this phone number)

We have been quite busy over here at the kennel! Summer time means traveling and vacations. We are more than happy to watch your furry friends! Here are some cuties that have been enjoying their stay.

Hello everyone! We will be sending out text messages as well, but wanted to inform everyone that daycare will be cancelled from Thursday, May 23rd until Tuesday, May 28th. Daycare will resume again on Wednesday, May 29th. Please reach out if you have any questions!

Do you have a pet that is nervous about boarding? That is okay! We know it can be scary staying somewhere new without your pet parents. There are multiple different things we can do to help eliminate stress when your pet is boarding.

First, bring items from home! For most pets, having their own personal items can help! As you can see below, Mila brought her bed and favorite toys with her for her stay.

Second, if space allows, we have a smaller room that has less traffic and isn't quite as noisy.

Lastly, outside time! Whether it's play sessions, nature walks, or daycare, being outside usually helps!

Mila was nervous when she arrived to board, but we took one on one time with her to ensure her stay was as comfortable as possible. She loved her play sessions, having her bed and piggie toy. Eventually, she decided it wasn't too bad here! 🐾❤️

Daycare doesn't have to be where all the fun happens... we can have fun during boarding too! Milo and Teddy always love their play sessions and nature walks when they stay with us. Just look at those happy faces!

If you're boarding your pet, ask a staff member about the different add-ons we offer for boarding services!

What a fun trio ❤️ Smells and sunshine is all they need!

04/23/2024

Sometimes daycare is crazy playtime, sometimes it's basking in the sun. Doesn't matter to us what the pups choose, they enjoy it either way! 🌞🐾

Only smiles for this beautiful Friday evening!

04/18/2024

At least it was sunny in the afternoon yesterday!

04/12/2024

Loving the sunshine today!

04/11/2024

Thank you to everyone for being understanding about us having to cancel daycare today (4/11/24). We are working on finding the perfect staff member to join our team so we can continue doing what we love best... play with dogs!

04/10/2024

Wednesday's are one of our slower days, so we had a small group today. Welcome Bunny as today was her first day!

04/09/2024

Thank goodness for sunshine, friends, and fetch!

04/04/2024

Riggins and Wrigley said it's too cold to have their daycare outside. We would rather receive our butt scratched inside, thank you.

04/02/2024

Excuse me... were we the only ones pouting about the snow this morning?? Either way, we still had a good time inside!

04/01/2024

This morning consisted of lots of fetch, b***y scratches, and avoiding the raindrops!

03/28/2024

Started our morning inside today. As the sun came out, we ventured our way to the yard. Soak in that sunshine!! 🌞

03/26/2024

We have been enjoying mainly indoor daycare with these chilly days! 🐾

03/22/2024

Greta and Smokey wish you safe travels and warm snuggles this snowing morning!
