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!

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!

If you are looking for a barktastic adventure like no other, you should take a 30-minute car ride over to High Trestle Trail. Rails-to-Trails have absolutely outdone themselves on this one. They have turned an old rail trestle bridge into a walking path. You can see the entire area from these heights. You will definitely need to keep your dog on a leash for this adventure. The trail is open all hours and is usually pretty busy. This means that, besides exercise and great view, you will meet some new friends along the way!

Indianola
The McVay Trail has been adopted by the Rails-to-Trails system. It is a place of history dating back to 1851. They have taken the railbed and lined it with asphalt so that it can be used for cycling, walking, and hiking. Your pup will love that there are tons of trees to sniff and bark at. You’ll love the feeling of walking through history. The original trestles are kept and incorporated as part of the trail system. It is more than just a great place to be active; it is also a great way to get around the area.

Downtown
Want to take your best pal out for a meal? Head into downtown Des Moines, just half an hour from Runnells. The RoCA is a tapas bar that is located right on Court Ave. The sizes are just pawfect for a quick snack or for getting a sample of what they have to offer. Some of it is quite spicy, so make sure to find something suitable for Fido. You can join your pup right on the patio for a casual evening with friends or family. RoCA’s signature tapas and full meal dishes are just the thing to sate your hunger. There are mixed drinks with a signature flair as well.
Mingo
Take a 30-minute car ride from Runnells and drive into history. The Chichaqua Valley Trail was originally laid as a railway in 1885. Rails-to-Trails laid asphalt along this 27-mile trail so that it could be used by the community while still preserving its history. The trail runs along Skunk Creek and the natural onion fields of Iowa. You will see beautiful farmland as you cross the country side. Enjoy the trail and explore a little more each time through multiple entrances that stretch across several cities. There is nothing better exploring natural history with your best fur-iend by your side!
