Pet Sitters in Salem, IA

Dana’s Dog Sitting and Boarding is an awesome place to take your fur babies when they aren’t able to go with you. She takes awesome care of them, she is sensitive to their needs, and does anything, and everything possible, to make your pets feel like their home while we’re gone. She interviews you with your pet to make sure they get along with others, she keeps your animal safe, and secure, while they are in her care.❤️ Thankyou Dana and family.

I am so appreciative for Dana. She made it possible for my best friend to stay with me through a difficult assignment. She made it possible for a difficult day to be made easier. She is professional and authentic. I recommend her very highly to anyone in need of care of one of the members of their pack. Thank you again, Dana.

Dana watched our Wrigley about four times in the last couple years, we really thought we had a great fit with her, however our last visit wasn’t what we expected upon our return upon a weekend trip. Wrigley was unfortunately bitten several times by another dog that she was watching. We had to take Wrigley to a veterinary and was charged 165 dollars for this visit. We also did not know that our Wrigley was in pain at the time of pick up. Dana said sorry she is wet on her left side of neck because another dog slobbered on her. Not thinking anything about it as usual we gave Dana a tip for her services. After bathing our Wrigley at home we found blood and puncture wounds on her. Not one time did she offer us a discount. Never we will be taking our Wrigley back to her home!

Our two dogs loved staying at Dana’s Dogs! Normally when we pick them up from boarding, they are very needy, hyper, and bark a lot at everything. After staying at Dana’s they came home happy, content, and worn out from playing so much. ❤️

Dana was easy to work with and sent several updates throughout the weekend, including pictures! She is fair priced too! Our dog was treated like another family pet during her stay. We will definitely go back when we need to be out or town!

Amazing care for my dogs who tend to be more on the shy side. They did great!!! Dana treats them like her own and I think being inside and part of the family, makes a huge difference. I feel like she is a true animal lover. Highly recommend!!!

Dana's was on our way from home to a weekend destination. We dropped our small puppy off amid a hectic schedule and I'm so glad we found her business on Google Maps. Rates were great, Dana was responsive and accommodating, and I felt very good leaving our puppy at her place rather than a kennel. We got pictures of him playing and sleeping while we were away and it was fun to get them. I would definitely use her services again in the future!

We had a great experience with Dana. She was very professional, and interested to know to characteristics and personalities of our 2 9 month old basset hounds. This was our first experience boarding our pets and she made it very easy and comfortable. We spoil our dogs, and she provided an environment that made our pups feel like they were at home. She sent us updates and pics each day how they were doing that made us feel they were in good hands. I would definitely recommend them to anyone!

My dogs stayed with Dana while I went out of town and she did great with them! It’s reassuring knowing they were treated so well and Dana was nice enough to send picture updates of them the whole time. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a quality boarding home for there fur babies!

Dana did a wonderful job taking care of Howie. We could tell he had a lot of love and attention. We especially appreciated the updates/pictures Dana sent of him while we were away! He looked so happy and we didn’t worry about him once! We will definitely be bringing him back to her again!

They give me piece of mind when I can't take my boys with me. They treat my boys like they are their own. I am so glad I found them.

Michelle and Cody are amazing! They genuinely care and love my doggies every time we come. I had Michelle do some Reiki on my pitty to help with separation anxiety. When I picked her up she was so calm and happy. This will definitely be the only place I will bring any of my babies.

We absolutely love going to Paw Above! Michelle and Cody are the most caring, passionate people I have ever meant towards animals! I feel at ease knowing our furbabies are so well taken care of when they stay. Reiki sessions are amazing I would recommend anyone and their dogs to try it😉Love you guys! …

Clean, honest, and pet loving, this is the only place I kennel my dogs. Great groomers too!

I am always happy with my dog's grooming , and he is always happy when he is boarded there. Michele and her staff are great folks.

I’ve been using this boarding for three years. They’ve always treated my pets as their own. And it’s even more impressive considering one of my pets was an aging small dog with an acidic personality to match who somehow came to at least tolerate his temporary family.

The outside of this place isn’t very welcome and it’s a bit of a turn off I would guess for most, but their love for the animals and wonderful work when it comes to grooming makes up for it easily.

We boarded our 3 fur babies. They were happy going in and happy coming out! The updates while we gone we’re greatly appreciated.

The owner is very flexible, within reason, usually allows me to drop my dogs off before work and pick them up after work... they look good and smell great....

Wonderful. My dogs come home smelling great looking fantastic and they are calm.

I have 2 GSDs they are my pride and joy. Hal and Muffin are experienced groomers, trainers, boarders and absolutely wonderful to my dogs. I would highly recommend them for your dog needs.

After our preferred groomer retired unexpectedly we struggled finding a replacement groomer in Burlington that we were happy with. My aunt recommended The Grooming Room and we have been VERY happy with the recommendation. Our little dog loves going, so I know they treat her well, and she looks great when i pick her up after her visit.

LOVE this grooming salon. Hannah did a fabulous job with our three dogs. They looked wonderful when they were done. The dogs knee they looked great too. They hopped into the car without shaking. I recommend this doggy spa. They have a great set-up even for the largest dogs. We will definately be back!

Best hair cut our 10 year old cocker ever had, and I know he's not easy. We groomed him his first 5 years and he doesn't hold still. Very pleased made his next appointment right away.

This was the first time having our Yorkie groomed there. It was the most professional Yorkie cut we have had in the last 8 years. Since covid drive up service to and from. Follow the directions they give you to go through MT pleasant. Do not use GPS. You may be stuck in mud if rainy.

I will not trust my dogs with anyone else but Chaney's Canine County Club. Hal did an amazing job with Trigger (who was our beagle) when we had to have him boarded. Muffin does an outstanding job grooming Max (who is our Yorkie).

I called about boarding my dog, and the lady on the phone was extremely rude because I was taking too much of her time. I care another where my dog is being held, so yes, I’m going to ask questions and be thorough. You will not get my business if you are going to be disrespectful to me on the phone. End of story.

Awesome groomers. I have a Papillon and he looks so adorable when I pick him up. He's so soft and he smells wonderful!! Reasonably priced. I highly recommend them!!!

The groomer executed a great look for my furbaby she was eager to please me and did a timely groom. The facility is very clean and looks well organized, I will definitely be going there again!

For 20 years Muffin and Hal have been grooming and taking care of my little doggies. They are two of the most compassionate animal lovers i know.

My dog LOVES it here. She is so excited to go. She loves the staff and is tired when she comes home. It is a great way to socialize my dog with other dogs, and people too.

This is THE BEST doggie daycare and boarding facility around! They really care about each dog, and the dogs have an absolutely blast while there. My dog did daycare last week with a 2-night stay over the weekend, and he loved it! Thank you, Bark & Play, for being such a top notch facility. No crates, pics of each pup posted on FB twice a day and daily report cards sent via email.

Another reason I love taking Macaroni 🐾 to Bark & Play Daycare and Suites .....they post daily picts of your baby to their site.....and I just realized they also send daily email report cards (I never check my e-mail)! Highly recommend them if you need to trust someone with your fur baby when your away!! …

We love Bark & Play as much as Shadow does!! ❤ We love the fact we can leave him for the day or even for a week knowing he is well taken care of and having such a good time with his friends!! 🐶🐾🐶 Super clean facility and the staff is so friendly and helpful!! You just know they love the fur babies by their reactions when you walk in the door and the reaction of our baby who is so happy to be there!! We highly recommend Bark & Play!! 👍

This Place, definitely a 5 star! My daughter and I left our 2 puppers here for 4 days. We had just found out our Paisley had cancer. She was going downhill fairly fast. We had struggled with whether to leave her or not as we were heading out of town. They both were welcomed with open arms. We received daily pics and reports. They were sent home with daily reports on what they did, how they ate, slept, and who they played with! Cannot say enough about how special these people are here. Would highly recommend!

We have been taking our two dogs, Jamal and Trooper, to Bark and Play for a little over 2 years now. Initially, we were utilizing day care nearly everyday because of me and my wife's working situation. More and more now we have been utilizing Bark and Play for boarding. The experience has been top notch. Sometimes it feel as though the boys enjoy Bark and Play more than home. Ann and her staff have become family to us. They have cared for our boys and been there for them when they have required more needs. I recommend Bark and Play to everyone. We have boarded our dog's for the last 11 years and this, by far, has been the best experience. Bark and Play has come through for us and taking our boys to our Vet when we have been out of the country. They did not have to do this, but they went above and beyond when they did not have to. We owe them so much for this above and beyond care. They have helped to feed our boys and administer medications for us. I can not say enough amazing things about Bark and Play. We have photos of our two doggies with the staff and other fun stuff. It has been a symbiotic relationship and one that we all cherish. Thank you to Ann and the staff! You will not be disappointed if you bring your loved fury friends to this amazing facility of love and happy barks! Just my opinion from 2 years of happiness!

My pup LOVES going to Bark and Play! They are great with her and everyone recognizes her when we go in and loves on her! They have so many services and really take the time to make sure they know what your dog needs.

Our husky Koda has been here several times. She always loves playing with all the other dogs. The staff is always so friendly and I love the extra touch of the Facebook page. I love to see pictures of her and know she is having a great time while there. I highly recommend this place to anyone who needs a daycare or overnight stay !

Let me begin by saying I am an over the top, over protective dog mom. My girls had never been boarded before. I decided to try Bark and Play from very good reviews from friends. From the first moment of walking in they made me feel at ease, and were super caring and friendly. I loved the pictures of my girls on Facebook and they were nice to this concerned mons’ almost daily phone calls. I would recommend them to everyone and will definitely take my girls there again! They are the best and an awesome asset to this town.

My pups go to Bark and Play for daycare every once in awhile and stayed for 10 days when I went on vacation. I was very worried about leaving them but the staff put me at ease. Being able to see picture updates of them everyday on Facebook was such a relief. I would highly recommend Bark and Play to anyone, my dogs and I love the place!
