Dog Boarding, Daycare, Grooming & Training in Mount Pleasant, IA

Yes! All dogs must complete a 20 to 30 minute Meet & Greet before attending daycare or boarding. Our team evaluates temperament, play style, and comfort around other dogs. After passing, we will continue to monitor your dog's behavior to ensure the best fit.

All dogs must be current on Rabies and DA2PPV, with new vaccinations given at least 14 days prior. Bordetella is required annually, intranasal at least 7 days prior, oral or injectable at least 14 days prior. Canine Influenza is required for daycare and boarding as a two-dose series.

Dogs must be at least 4 months old, meet vaccination requirements, and pass a Meet & Greet. Recently adopted or rescued dogs must be in their new home for a minimum of 90 days.

All dogs over 6 months old must be spayed or neutered to participate in group play. Dogs over 6 months of age who have not been spayed or neutered, but are not yet 2 years old, can participate in solo boarding after passing a Meet & Greet with staff.

Dogs are grouped by size, temperament, and play style, with activities tailored to each dog. Our team rotates groups to encourage safe, positive interactions and periodic rest times throughout the day.

A 50% deposit is required to reserve your dog's boarding dates. 7 or more days before arrival, full refund. 4 to 6 days before arrival, 50% refund. 3 days or less before arrival, no refund. Special circumstances can be brought to our attention.

No problem! Our Solo Play boarding option provides individualized attention and one-on-one play sessions with our trained team instead of group interaction. Dogs must be 100% people friendly to participate.
