Courtney was great! My dog has separation anxiety & is usually freaking out when I get home after being gone all day. But this time, she was calm and happy. She clearly loved Courtney!

Taylor was such an amazing sitter! She gave me detailed updates every time she checked in on the pups. Will definitely hire her again if she is available :)

Keera was great with Archer and went at his pace! I got a ton of updates and Keera was super responsive and gave great updates! Keera was flexible when I was coming home sooner than expected.

Sheana came through when I was in a pinch. I needed someone to let the dogs out because I was stuck in traffic in the mountains. She responded last minute and had excellent communication. She’s the best!

It was our first time leaving Skittles with a sitter, and Daniel did a great job of assuaging our fears! He was super communicative and made sure we knew that Skittles was in good hands. Highly recommend!

Kelli was awesome boarding my two dogs. Not only did she give daily updates with videos and pictures she also worked with them on introducing them to her cat and getting used to her big dogs. Can't recommend enough!

The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in Bouton

Bouton

The compact downtown area of Bouton is just three blocks long and five blocks wide. It's as safe and friendly as it is small, with idyllic tree-lined sidewalks through residential streets. Fortunately, there’s plenty of space to run off your energy at the Bouton City Park, where the town’s ball field is encircled by a grassy lawn perfect for either romping or lounging. It would be a great place to bring a Frisbee and a famous fatboy sandwich from Carmen’s Bar and Grill: you can eat in the bleachers and let your pup run the bases.

Ashawa

For an urban adventure with seriously scenic walking, head into West Des Moines, 31 miles from Bouton. Known for its hipster culture and bustling economy, West Des Moines is a great place to sit on a patio and soak up the vibe. There are 14 West Des Moines restaurants with dog-friendly patios. Our pick is the global fusion spot Noodles and Company in Ashawa (probably because we’re imagining a Lady and the Tramp noodle-love reenactment). Then, pick a park. A series of beautiful river and lake parks along the Raccoon River wend their way all the way into Downtown Des Moines, but you could spend an whole day just at the Raccoon River Dog Park, with a whopping 12 acres of trails and leash-free running spaces. Permits are required but day passes are available.

Woodward City Center

In the small town of Woodward, just 5 short miles from Bouton, you’ll find the western trailhead for The High Trestle Trail, a 25.6-mile walking/biking path converted from decommissioned train tracks. With the trail’s stunning views of towns, forest, lakes, and countryside, you might be tempted to follow it all the way to the end in Ankeny — or at least to the 130-foot High Trestle Trail Bridge. The bridge features an art installation that sparkles with LED lighting at night as well as a fantastic view over the Des Moines River.

Central Polk City

Twenty miles east of Bouton, the community of Polk City is your launching point for Big Creek Lake and Saylorville Lake. But first: Who’s a good boy? If it’s your pup, stop into the Big Creek Bakery, whose specialty is preservative-free and all-natural dog treats in a buffet of flavors that “Raise the Woof” as promised. Then, hit the lake! Big Creek State Park has 26 miles of trails, plus picnic facilities and Big Creek Lake’s clear water for summertime splashing. If you have any aspiring sled dogs, note that the park is a popular destination for cross-country skiing and snowmobiling in winter. To the south, Jester Park sprawls over 1,600 acres on Saylorville Lake, offering trails, a nature center, and even herds of elk and bison (so bring a good leash).

Perry City Center

Just 6 miles from Bouton, the small city of Perry, Iowa offers some charming community parks. The largest, Wiese Park, provides a two-mile recreational trail and outstanding disc golf. Most importantly, Perry offers access to the Raccoon River Valley Trail, a 90-mile paved hiking and biking trail stretching from Jefferson to Herndon. As the largest town on the pawpular trail, Perry embraces its sweaty visitors: many local business have signs welcoming hikers and bikers and offer grab-and-go treats that you can munch as you take in the trail’s farm, prairie, and forest views. (Aw, come on, share. Don’t make your pooch give you the eyes!)
