Boarding Meet & Greet
$29 per room
New boarding guests complete a boarding-only evaluation before overnight stays. Full details are listed in the Meet & Greet section below.
New boarding guests start with a boarding-only Meet & Greet.
Boarding approval only
The Boarding Meet & Greet is specific to overnight lodging. It does not include daycare approval or group daycare play.
Same-day daycare may be possible
If requested, and your dog is relaxed and doing well, we may continue into the daycare Meet & Greet the same day if daycare has room.
Comfort guides the pace
If your dog seems stressed, anxious, or uncomfortable, we stop the daycare step and keep the focus on a calm boarding evaluation.
The boarding evaluation is $29 per room and is available Monday-Friday, with drop-off between 7:00 AM and 9:00 AM and pick-up between 3:00 PM and 6:00 PM. Your dog stays more than five hours so staff can complete a real comfort and safety assessment.
Before Their Stay
What every boarding guest needs ready.
These are the pieces that help us confirm the reservation, prepare the room, and care for your dog safely.
Dogs must be current on Bordetella, Distemper/Parvo, and Rabies.
New clients create a profile so we can review pet details, vaccine records, and boarding notes before the stay.
Food, medication, comfort needs, and approved add-ons should be shared before or at check-in.
Discounts, sharing, and daycare add-ons.
After you choose a room or suite, these are the common notes we use when quoting the stay.
Six-night discount
Stays of six nights or more receive 10% off the full boarding reservation.

Multi-dog rates are the total nightly rate for same-family pets sharing one room or suite.
Daycare by approval
Daycare can be added after the separate daycare approval, when your dog is comfortable and space is available.

Daycare is a separate approval. We can sometimes evaluate daycare the same day as the Boarding Meet & Greet, but only if your dog is comfortable and daycare has room.
Bring the things that make their stay feel familiar.
We provide fresh water, bowls, an off-the-floor bed, and attentive care. You bring the items that keep meals, rest, and quiet time close to their normal routine.
- ✓Food from home Labeled, portioned, and packed with feeding instructions.
- ✓Medication notes Clearly labeled medications with timing and dosage details.
- ✓A washable comfort item A blanket or shirt if your dog will not chew or shred it.
- ✓Safe toys Toys your dog can enjoy during outdoor play or quiet room time.
We will do our best to keep belongings with your pet, but Eastern Iowa Pet Resort is not responsible for lost, damaged, or chewed personal items. Please leave fragile, valuable, oversized, or unsafe items at home.

FAQ
Common boarding questions.
Helpful answers for pet parents planning an overnight stay.
What are the lodging rates?
Standard rooms are $37 per night for one dog, $59 for two dogs sharing, and $76 for three dogs sharing. Suites are $44 per night for one dog, $70 for two dogs sharing, and $92 for three dogs sharing.
Is a Boarding Meet & Greet required?
Yes. New boarding guests complete a full-day Boarding Meet & Greet for $29 per room before overnight stays. This is specific to boarding and does not include daycare approval.
Is the daycare Meet & Greet separate?
Yes. Boarding and daycare are two separate Meet & Greets. The boarding process does not place your dog into daycare with a group of dogs.
Can both Meet & Greets happen the same day?
Sometimes. If your dog is doing well during the Boarding Meet & Greet and daycare has room, we may move forward with the daycare Meet & Greet the same day. If your dog is showing stress, anxiety, or discomfort, we will stop there and avoid pushing them further.
Can I add daycare to boarding?
Yes, after daycare approval. Daycare can be added to eligible boarding stays for $15 per day once your dog has completed the separate daycare Meet & Greet.
What vaccines are required?
Dogs must be current on Bordetella, Distemper/Parvo, and Rabies before lodging.
