Aloha Pet Resort & Spa

Aloha Pet Resort & Spa is a dog boarding and daycare facility at 704 Enterprise Drive in Cedar Falls, Iowa, and it also offers grooming and training. Overnight stays run $45 to $60 per night, according to the kennel's website. The resort has a tropical vacation theme. Its approach is built around keeping dogs busy, social and comfortable while their owners are away.

What are the room options?

Owners can choose from Standard Suites, Condos and Private Luxury Petite Villas. Every stay includes room service and outdoor potty breaks four times a day. Dogs staying seven nights or longer get a free bath before they go home.

What do dogs do during the day?

This is where Aloha tries to set itself apart from basic boarding. Dogs can join group play through the Fitness Club and Fetch Club, and the facility has both indoor play areas and outdoor space. The schedule also includes themed parties, nature walks, a "mini bar" and other enrichment activities.

• Standard Suites, Condos and Private Luxury Petite Villas

How do owners keep tabs on their dog?

Aloha posts daily updates on Snapchat, and the rooms have cameras so owners can check in. That helps anyone who tends to worry while traveling. The resort also shares photos and news on Facebook and Instagram.
