We had a pet sitter for years who took them into her home. After she had a tragic accident, I was very concerned about finding another place where they did not have to be in kennels. Dave's Pet Care noted that very thing. I arranged for us and our dogs to meet Dave before we just dropped them off. I didn't want them to freak out as we were leaving. About 10 days before our trip, Dave informed us that he would need to be out of town and his friend/employee Richard would take care of them. Once again, I was apprehensive. Richard put me at ease right away. I could tell he loved dogs and would dote over them. Richard sent us updates and pictures nearly every day of the five that we were gone. They were able to go on walks as part of the fee. An added bonus. He was very accommodating with drop off and pick up. When we picked them up from Richard, I could tell they were very at ease with him. I highly recommend this business if you would like your pet to have in home personalized care. read more

This was my first time to leave my fur baby so of course I was apprehensive. But Dave sent me photos and texts and videos to help quiet my anxious mind. My Benj only cried the first night, Dave reported. As far as I know, there was no report of Dave or Keianna crying so assume Benj was on his good behavior as well. Thank you, Dave - really appreciate your awesome care! read more

ave has took care of Max twice within the last few months. (Keep in mind that Max is a full grown Saint Bernard with endless energy. So, he can be a handful.) Dave accommodated us last minute at Christmas so we could travel and see family. So, Max spent the holidays with him for a few days. Most recently we took Max to spend the day with him. Dave does a phenomenal job and you can tell that he really loves what he does. He's quick to respond to any requests and messages. A simple text and you will get a fast reply. He sends updates on how far they've walked, pictures, and videos of Max everytime. So, you know that your fur baby is in good hands. I'm so appreciative of the work that he does and Max is too! If you're looking for the best person to entrust your dog with, this is your guy. I'll attach a photo and a video link he sent of Max as well. Unbelievable, so big but so fast https://youtu.be/k2nzSMFKuhM Thanks Dave! read more

Our Miley will be 7 in July! Up until last weekend we have never had to board her. As we got closer and closer to the Easter weekend that we traditionally go to family out of town, I really didn't know what to do with her as all of our previous options were no longer options. So I did exactly what you're probably doing right now if you're reading this and Googled: "where can I board my dog for the weekend in Council Bluffs?" I know there were a few others that popped up above Dave in my search, but for whatever reason, I didn't even try to click on them. And now never will! I read his Welcome page and some reviews, checked pricing, and then came the cherry on top when I saw that I could reach out to him via phone call or TEXT!!!!! He replied promptly and I could tell that he was just what me and my kid's anxieties needed for our 1st time leaving our doggie!!! Hours later we went to his place to drop her off and you would have thought that we were returning her to her rightful owner/home! It was a clean, nice place and she fit right in with his BEHEMOTH of a dog (lol, she's a chihuahua/shih tzu mix!) and wasn't at all bothered by the cat, which she's never been around before! We chatted for a bit and drove away with such a relief and a little excitement for.her! He sent just the right amount of updates and videos from walks and it was apparent she was happy and in good hands! Paying him was stress free as well with different options and whether I wanted to pay then or at pick up. It was SO NICE to be able to leave town for the weekend and not burden our family or friends to help with her. This certainly makes thinking of future trips less stressful and excited to maybe even plan some that we might not have even considered before!! THANK YOU DAVE! THANK YOU FOR BEING A GOOD HUMAN THAT'S TRULY HELPING OTHERS WITHOUT MAJOR FINANCIAL GAIN!!!! read more

I couldn't of ask for a better person to take care of my babies. They didn't make easy for Dave but he was kind and understanding of their needs. He kept me updated on how they were doing and discussed ways to help with the problems they presented to him. I'm very grateful to have found Dave at such short notice. Thanks again Dave Nancy read more

I went through Dave's Pet care for the second time just recently. Richard watched Hank for us this time and was absolutely wonderful! He went above and beyond. He sent us updates and pictures of Hank daily. He also made a special trip to the store to get shredded cheese to sprinkle on Hanks food because he wouldn't eat. I highly recommend! read more

Dave has taken care of my dog a couple of times. The first was shortly after I adopted her, and I had no idea what I was doing! We met first so he could get to know my pup and I could tell immediately Rickey was going to get amazing care. He is very flexible and enthusiastic in his care for animals! He did everything I asked and then some, including helping her learn to potty on a leash, helping her learn basic commands, and giving her all the pets and cuddles. Dave also sends pictures and videos of their activities throughout the day and any necessary updates. Be assured you are leaving your pride and joy in extremely capable hands! 10/10 would utilize his services again and again. read more
