Doggie Daycare
Dog daycare for social dogs who love to play.
Supervised weekday play for approved dogs who enjoy being around other dogs. We match groups by size, energy, and play style so the day stays fun, structured, and comfortable.
Who Daycare Is For
Structured play for dogs who thrive in a group.
Approved daycare dogs enjoy supervised group play, indoor comfort, outdoor yard time when weather allows, and planned breaks to keep the day fun without becoming overwhelming.
Indoor Play
Room to play, take breaks, and stay comfortable when Iowa weather does not cooperate.
Outdoor Yards
Fresh-air play gives dogs space to move, sniff, and burn off energy.
Thoughtful Grouping
We group dogs by size, energy, and play style instead of treating every dog the same.
Activities & Pawties
Monthly activities, holiday fun, and birthday pawties are available for approved daycare dogs.

Before Daycare
A few things we check before playtime.
Vaccines up to date
Please have Bordetella, Distemper/Parvo, and Rabies records current before daycare.
Spay or neuter timing
Dogs need to be spayed or neutered by six months old to keep joining group play.
A first-day check-in
The meet-and-greet helps us see how a dog does with the space, staff, and other dogs.
Daycare Fit
We take time to find the right fit.
- ✓Dogs are introduced carefully before joining regular play
- ✓Groups are based on size, energy, and play style
- ✓After six months away, dogs need a quick re-evaluation before returning
The meet-and-greet lets us see how your dog handles the space, the staff, and other dogs. If daycare is not the best fit, we will tell you honestly and kindly.
