Intact dogs are accepted

Plenty of kennels turn away dogs that have not been spayed or neutered, which leaves those owners short on options. Pet Place Lodging accepts intact males and females. Owners in that situation should bring it up when they call, since it shapes which room and routine fit best.

Booking and practical details

Reservations are handled by phone at (319) 462-0788. Drop-off and pickup hours are 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM Monday through Friday, 7:00 to 9:00 AM on Saturday, and 4:00 to 6:00 PM on Sunday, so weekend trips take a little planning around the shorter windows. Vaccinations are required before a dog can board, and the kennel's email for records is petplacelodging@gmail.com. Full room descriptions and current rates are posted at petplacelodging.com.
