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 :)

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!
Lindsay C
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!

West Des Moines
West Des Moines is just 23 miles from Farrar. Although it’s one of the largest cities in the state, it is home to only one dog park: the Raccoon River Dog Park. However, don’t think the drive to Des Moines won’t be worth it. This park is a gigantic 12 acres in size! It is also completely off-leash, so your dog is free to run and play in the park until they tire themselves out. However, the park does require a permit, so be sure to check that out before you take your furry friend.

This is one of the area's most popular parks because it is an off-leash park and offers a variety of amenities.

Central Polk City
Although there are no dog parks in the small city of Polk City, don’t despair. The city is only 20 miles from Farrar and home to the High Trestle Trail. This recreational trail is one of nearly 1,600 railroad trails preserved by the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy. It is not a dog park, but it is a great place to take your pup for a long, beautiful walk through the gorgeous scenery that Iowa has to offer. However, remember that all dogs must be leashed at all times. Furthermore, since it is not a dog park, there will be no amenities catering to dogs. Make sure you take doggie poop bags, water and water bowl for your pooch.

Like Polk City, Madrid does not have any parks dedicated solely to dogs. What this city does have is Iowa Arboretum. This is a gorgeous set of trails for walking, running or biking. It is a wonderfurr place to take an active dog for a change of scenery. Just remember to keep your dog leashed at all times and take your own doggie poop bags as you will not find any on the trail. Furthermore, since this is a very active location make sure you wear your running shoes and stay hydrated! Trust us, you and your pooch will have a pawtastic day at Iowa Arboretum.
