Pull up a chair and relax by the fire while your pup plays outside. Firewood and fire starters are provided! No need to put her out once you’re done, we can handle that for you so you can spend the time enjoying the outdoors with your pup!
Have a picnic on the patio while your pup runs and explores and grill up some lunch on the Blackstone! A 17” Blackstone on an outdoor kitchen. No need to scrub it afterwards, we’ll handle that for you while you enjoy the time with your pup!
Spend more time enjoying playtime with your pup in the safety of a fenced in backyard instead of worrying about poop clean up. We’ll handle clean up for you!

Hi! My name is Melanie and I run an in home dog boarding and daycare in NE Cedar Rapids. We love all kinds of pups here and have a large fenced in yard with toys, an outdoor bed, a table and hammock for the humans, toys for the pups, and a Doggy Dooley composter. I have a 6 ft fence with two access gates. If your pup wants a friend to play with we always have a few and if your pup wants to hang out alone that’s fine too, we love hanging out in the AC as much as we love being outside (reactive pups should be able to run free and have fun too!). We have never had a pup get out, even the escape artists, try as they might. We have driveway and street parking and are located on a quiet residential street near Target North. We work from home so if you need anything like doggy bags or a new tennis ball, we’re almost always home! We’d love to have you and your pup share our space and run out their wiggles! ☺️
6 ft fence all around to keep your pup within sight! 2 gated entrances on either side of the house. Handicap accessible with a small decline hill to enter the yard. Plenty of street parking available in a very quiet and safe neighborhood. Chairs and shade for humans to relax on the patio! I work from home so I will likely be here to answer any questions you may have! Thanks for looking! -Stephen and Liz
In the summer, we have a kiddie pool for the pups to cool off in. During warmer months there is a hose hooked up to fill a water bowl. Lots of room to roam and dog toys already scattered about the Yard! Feel free to play fetch, but leave for our next guests. If there are kids toys out, your children may use at your own risk. We do have 2 dogs of our own that will likely bark out the window. They are friendly and well socialized but jealous they aren't playing too! We also have cats that may be sitting in a window.
My back yard has a gated entrance that is secured on the inside for the safety of your pet while in the spot! Fully fenced, with some opps for sniffing other dogs through the fence. There is a chance for occasionally seeing other people and dogs but not in close contact. My pup and I will be inside, but he will probably greet you with barking. It’s a great backyard with a good space for your pup to get some off leash time. Upon request there is a puppy pool that can be put out for your pup! Seating and a table for pup parents that the majority of the day is shaded but midafternoon there is strong sun till sunset. There willl be an umbrella and stand if you would like to use that for shade. The yard is sunny most of the day. I will request picking up after your pet there is a chance there could be some piles from my own dog but I do have a service that does a weekly (Tuesday)pick up there will be a 5 gallon bucket for waste disposal, I do have a scooper that has bag clips I would ask that all poos are bagged before disposal please. If you have a high energy dog I highly recommend sitting at the top of the stairs and throwing a ball to the back corner of the yard! Wears out every Aussie I know!
We've completed our fence and are excited to welcome your pup. We have toys for fetching. Auto throwing machine so you can relax.
