Stylin' Paws Play Place

Stylin' Paws Play Place is a dog boarding and daycare facility in Urbandale, Iowa, at 3901 121st Street in the Des Moines metro. It accepts dogs of every size, from small breeds through giant ones. Boarding, day stays, training, and an indoor play space all run out of the same building. A dog that already knows the place from daycare isn't walking into somewhere new when a week-long stay starts.

What an overnight stay looks like

Boarding dogs stay in individual suites rather than a shared run, in a climate-controlled building. The day is built around supervised play and exercise, with enrichment breaks using puzzles, Kongs, and lick mats. Staff send daily photo updates, which helps when owners are a few time zones away. Medication can be administered for dogs that need it.

Services offered here

• Overnight boarding in private suites
• Daycare with supervised play and exercise
• Dog training
• Grooming and self-service dog wash stations
• Pet parties and space rental

Extras worth knowing about

Stays can include optional bathing, so a dog comes home clean, plus treat add-ons for something extra during rest time. Because the play space is indoors and climate-controlled, exercise doesn't hinge on Iowa weather, which is worth something in February and again in July. Self-service wash stations are there for owners who would rather handle the bath themselves.

Booking and requirements

Dogs must be current on vaccinations before boarding or daycare. Reservations and questions go through 515-720-7909 or sara@stylinpawssalon.com, and service details are posted at stylinpawssalon.com.
