Dog Boarding & Daycare in Iowa

Iowa has 366 dog boarding and daycare facilities spread across 188 cities. The most options are in Des Moines, Cedar Falls, Cedar Rapids, Bettendorf and Davenport. Where operators publish a rate, boarding starts at $18 and runs to a median of $39 per night. 22 facilities offer daytime daycare alongside or instead of overnight boarding.

Boarding facilities house your dog overnight — anything from a traditional kennel run to a private suite — while daycare covers daytime-only care with supervised play. Many businesses do both, so this directory lists them together and tags each one with the services it offers. Rates are usually per night for boarding and per day for daycare; the listings below lead with a confirmed rate wherever the facility publishes one, plus hours, amenities, and whether the state has it on a kennel-license register.

Every Iowalocation here is sourced from open mapping data, filtered to genuine boarding and daycare facilities — not groomers, shelters, or in-home sitters — de-duplicated across sources, and checked against the business's own website. When a rate or an hour isn't confirmed, the page says “call to confirm” instead of guessing, and the whole state is re-verified every month so the listing you read is the listing you'll find.
