Dog Paws Boarding Resort

Dog Paws Boarding Resort is a boutique dog boarding and daycare facility at 6271 Edgewood Rd SW in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Dogs stay in indoor kennels, get outside several times a day, and can add training or one-on-one attention to a stay.

What a stay looks like

Standard interior kennels measure 6x7, and larger 8x7 suites are available for dogs who need more room. Each kennel is set up with a raised bed and raised food and water bowls. Radio music plays during the day, and ambient lighting stays on overnight. Every dog goes outside at least three times daily.

Services and add-ons

• Overnight boarding and daytime daycare
• PLAY group play and PAWStime one-on-one enrichment
• Asphalt circle walking track
• Training, teeth brushing, and pickup/drop-off arrangements
• Puppy, unaltered, nonsocial, and quarantine care options

What sets it apart

Not every kennel takes dogs that struggle in a group. Dog Paws lists separate care tracks for puppies, unaltered dogs, nonsocial dogs, and dogs that need quarantine, which gives owners somewhere to call when a group-play-only facility turns them down. The private suites and the one-on-one enrichment point the same direction: a small operation organized around individual dogs rather than volume. Owners who want their dog kept busy can pair yard time with the walking track and structured play.

Practical details

The facility holds an Animal Welfare License from the State of Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship. Booking is handled online, and proof of vaccination is required before a stay. Boarding is $45 per day for one dog, according to pricing published on the facility's website. Questions can go to 319-408-8795 or cribpaws@gmail.com, and the site is dogpawsboardingresort.com.
