Just Dogs PlayCare

Just Dogs PlayCare offers dog boarding, daycare, and training at 4100 Westcor Court in Coralville, Iowa. It serves the Iowa City area and works training into ordinary play days. Overnight stays go by the name Camp Sunny and are meant for social dogs.

What services does Just Dogs PlayCare offer?

The facility covers most of what a dog needs during a workday or a trip away. Services on its site include:

• Dog daycare and overnight boarding at Camp Sunny
• Training during the day, plus the Dog U enrichment membership
• Bathing and nail trims
• Individual walks, bedtime stories, and daily diaries
• Indoor and outdoor play yards in a climate-controlled building

How are dogs grouped during play?

Dogs play in small groups separated by size and temperament. That setup keeps a small or timid dog from getting overwhelmed by bigger, rowdier playmates. The kennel says its goal is to set dogs up to succeed, and staff work on manners and obedience while the dogs play.

What is Dog U?

Dog U is an enrichment membership for dogs that need more mental work than play alone. Members get progress report cards, so owners can see what their dog is learning. It suits high-energy or easily bored dogs that come home restless after a normal daycare day.

Credentials and cleanliness

Just Dogs PlayCare is a member of the International Boarding & Pet Services Association (IBPSA) and the Association of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT). It is licensed and inspected by the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship. PetAirapy UV air purification runs throughout the building.
