Choosing dog boarding in Clive
Boarding facilities like It's a Ruff Life house your dog overnight — anything from a standard kennel run to a private suite — while daycare covers daytime-only care with supervised play. Rates are usually per night for boarding and per day for daycare, and most facilities require proof of vaccination, so have records ready when you book.
Expect to pay from $46 per night here (Daycare $25/day full day, Boarding from $46/night for one dog); call ahead to confirm current rates, drop-off windows, and availability. We haven't matched this facility to a state license record; about half of US states don't license boarding facilities, so that alone isn't a red flag.
We sourced It's a Ruff Lifefrom open mapping data, confirmed it's a genuine boarding or daycare facility (not a groomer, shelter, or in-home sitter), and re-check Clivelistings every month. Anything we can't verify is marked “call to confirm” rather than guessed — if you spot something out of date, let us know.
