Hi - Angus here (our mascot or whatever mom calls me, I’m just here for the treats)

I’ve decided to take over the social media for the business because mom has been really terrible at it, I guess she’s busy working, hauling my sisters around, and feeding us and stuff.

We’re still here! My brother and I are awesome (I’m cooler than him though, he’s kind of weird…) and we love new friends, here’s what we’re looking for:

🦴Must love to play, if your favorite game is bitey face we’re automatically BFFs
🦴Must like treats, mom and dad are good at the whole treat thing, they’ll probably make you sit or shake or something but trust me - it’s TOTALLY worth it
🦴Must be cool with cats we have a cat sister but she’s kind of weird too - Mom says we have to leave her alone, lame I know
🦴No piddling inside - mom is a FREAK about her floors, something about them being original hardwood or something.
🦴Mom hates when we chew stuff up if they have to leave (idk what she expects though, she’s supposed to be with us 24/7 🙄)
🦴Can’t try to eat our chicken sisters - they have their own house outside but she gets really annoyed with my brother when he chases around their coop.

Anyway - we’re super cool, check out some pictures of my brother and I hanging out with our friends, we promise we’ll share mom’s personal space with you so you can snuggle - she’s kinda awesome at snuggling! And mom says our rates are super reasonable - I don’t know anything about that cause I don’t pay taxes but I’d bet she’s telling the truth!

Hey everyone!

We have been kind of MIA lately on social media, summer has been so busy! We are still accepting new pups for both boarding and daycare, but with school starting soon we wanted to touch base with you all about a few things ☺️

With two kiddos in sports and activities we are home a good portion of the time, but we do have obligations that we must be on time for and my fiancé regularly has meetings for work that cannot be altered or interrupted.

With that being said we are implementing a few guidelines due to several recent situations to streamline drop offs and pick ups while ensuring we are able to give our all to your pets and our family.

Drop offs and pick ups are now scheduled in 30 minute windows. If you’re unable to make the window we’ve discussed please contact me as soon as you can and we can figure out an alternate time.

Being that everyone is SO excited when someone arrives (we love all our clients being so excited to come to us and love our dogs having a blast with their friends), we ask that you don’t show up unannounced or prior to the agreed upon pick up time unless we’ve spoken about it. This allows us to get the other dogs outside to allow for a smooth pickup/drop off and eliminate unnecessary excitement for the other dogs.

We are available most easily through text, but please allow for at least 2 hours for a response as we may be working, at a sporting event/concert for our kids, etc.

Thank you so much for all your support and understanding, I really believe these changes will make for a better experience all around for both our pups and their humans ☺️

Don’t let this be your pup when Back to School starts!

We currently have a few daycare spots open on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays and would love to have your pet spend your work and school days with us!

We have competitive rates to the boarding facilities in town, provide consistent one on one care, and our clients LOVE coming to stay with us!

*Meet & Greets are required prior to stays to ensure everyone is a good fit and is comfortable with us.

Please join us in helping Sweet Shae who is under the care of Critter Crusaders of Cedar Rapids.

She’s suffering from a fungal skin disease and requires hyperbaric treatments that she will need to travel to Gainesville, FL to receive. She is starting her journey this coming Sunday and will arrive in time for her appointment Tuesday morning.

We have donated a few daycare days to be included in the Doggie Goodies basket along with all the other amazing baskets that were sponsored for this event.

While we know Critter Crusaders will provide her the best care available no matter the cost, the financial burden of this treatment is heavy and they need our help.

We feel exceptionally blessed to be a part of this fundraiser and can’t wait to see how our community shows up for this sweet girl and such an amazing organization.

The online auction is NOW LIVE and will conclude on March 16th at 8:15pm. Cash donations will also be accepted to Dr. Schwenn’s Venmo from Schwenn Family Chiropractic as their office is hosting this fundraiser, the Venmo will be posted in the comments. Please add the note “For Shae” when sending a cash payment.

Schwenn Family Chiropractic will present the earnings to Critter Crusaders following the conclusion of the event.

Tomorrow marks one whole year in business. 🥹

We’ve met so many wonderful people and pups during this adventure. It’s incredible how much can change in just a year.

I’m not sure we’ll ever be able to convey how grateful we are for this opportunity so we’ll keep it short and sweet.

🎉THANK YOU🎉

For everything, it truly means the world and we are so grateful to have all of you along for the ride. ❤️🐾

We had a few friends with us for Christmas Eve, everyone was so good and soaked up all the attention from our family. Everyone got a special Christmas treat and is all snuggled in for the night. Thanks to all of our boards who’s families allowed them to spend Christmas with us. Your support for our small business means the world. Merry Christmas everyone! ❤️🎄🐾

I can’t believe we haven’t posted an update since August! The tail end of the year totally got away from us! We had lots of new friends and a bunch of our veterans come to stay with us since August!

I started a new part time job that hopefully means more time at home with all of our fur friends! The girls headed back to school and the kids get a kick out of seeing which pups are coming with to pick up the girls.

Quincifer is still coming at least once a week to hang out with his friends, Pluto the beagle was dropped off yesterday for his THREE WEEK stay while his momma heads home to visit family for Christmas. We had Harlow and Luna while their mom and dad got MARRIED! Too exciting! Our vets Rogue & Chase came to visit, Hank & Maggie came for a short sleepover, our best girl Cookie got to come back for a short weekend, Red the Shepherd stayed with us while his mom went to her son’s wedding and was the snuggliest boy, Chloe & Cheyenne came to stay again, Ralphie the bulldog was a new board and he was an absolute blast, Leo & Oakley came for several days of daycare while their family was moving, Georgey Pordgey came for a short trip, Jack & Luna spent Thanksgiving with us, our sweet boys Jax & Luka have been back a few times since the last update as well!

So far Pluto is the only pup celebrating Christmas with us! If you need boarding or daycare for any of your fur friends during the holiday we’d love to have them! We might be tooting our own horn, but we think they’d have an absolute blast!

Thank you to everyone who has supported us so far and allowed me the opportunity to accept a Part Time position instead of working full time. The support of all of our family, friends, and clients is beyond anything I ever could’ve imagined. ❤️

To celebrate the holidays and to thank you for all your support I wanted to run a holiday special. Book at least 3 days of boarding and get an extra day on us! Just mention the holiday deal when booking and we can get you on the books!

Happy Holidays from my family and all of our buddies! 🎄❤️🐾

🐾🎉TWENTY TWO🎉🐾

That’s a new record of pups who came to spend time with us last month. We chewed some bones, got some pup cups, went to some local outdoor events, played tons of bitey face & tug of war: we really just had a blast. We loved seeing all of our new buddies and our veterans. Lots of return pups this past month, we love to see it!

Thank you so much for your continued support and love, we can’t believe how many new fur friends we’ve met and will continue to meet through doing this.

Have a great month, we know we will! 🐾❤️

Hi friends! 🐾

Another busy month! We had a few of our veterans this last 5 ish weeks and made a ton of new friends!

Nanuk, our daycare husky moved to every other week since his momma is off this summer so we don’t see him quite as much but he’s happy as ever to make his biweekly appearances!

Our boy Chewy came by a few times to hang out and make sure our laps stayed nice and warm, everyone in the house gets excited when we know Chewy is coming for daycare!

We met Ollie & Roscoe for their first time, they had the time of their lives playing keep away and bitey face (I mean really, what’s not to love?), they spent their days pulling every toy out of the baskets to make sure they made the right choice. They had a great visit and will hopefully be back next month! 🤞🏻

Our buddy Navy joined the daycare crew, he’s the perfect mixture between snuggly and wiley, he could run for hours and still not be tired, he’s also a really great snuggle buddy. He’s a drop in daycare and gets along with everyone, we love seeing him every so often!

George was a longer term board while his family took a vacation, he was with us for almost 2 weeks and was the perfect little spitfire. He may be small but he thinks he’s 10ft tall and bulletproof 😂 he was so much fun and will be back again the end of this month for another stay which is awesome!

Snoop Dogg & Roxy the Rottie came to hangout for a few days, Roxy was the enforcer and made sure no one was getting picked on, she also enjoyed being a lap dog with all of us and just snuggling. Snoop was happy to be involved with anyone. Snuggling, chasing, or playing bitey face; he was game for it all. Snoop was recently rescued and struggled in the shelter but has adapted so well to a loving home, he’s so sweet and has settled in with us as well. Roxy comes back for another stay tomorrow and Snoop will come for his 3rd stay later this week!

Jax came back again and while we might be a bit biased, he’s one of our best buds. Playing tug, chasing Angus, and using the springs he has in his butt rank right up there with his favorite boarding activities. He recently gained a little brother as well and we can’t wait to have them both down the road!

Boost & Gemma were another pair that came for a little vacation and we cannot say enough good things about them. Gemma was the sweetest girl, she loved rolling in the grass, smelling all the smells, and making sure we didn’t go anywhere alone. She ran with the pack a few times but preferred more one on one play with Angus, Boost, or her boyfriend Snoop. Boost was a blast and a great snuggler. He definitely tired Angus and the other pups out with all the running. He was a great garden helper and make sure to stick right near me so the plants wouldn’t get me 😉 They had an extra little treat and got to come in for some pup ice cream after running around.

We also had Moose & Mika who were great guests. Mika is a bit older and takes a bit to warm up to everyone, but once she does she is a great shadow and loves to be around people. Moose is another guy that’s just happy to be involved. He & Angus we’re a great pair because they had really similar energy levels. Moose and Mika were also 10/10 snugglers!

Quincy also joined the daycare crew, he is such a spunky little guy with the longest eyelashes we’ve ever seen. He is such a doll, he took a few visits to really settle in and feel comfortable but now he runs right in and gets to playing. If I don’t get to the door quick enough, he starts barking at me to let him in.😂 he is so well behaved that he got to go on a little adventure to Grandma & Grandpa’s house and run free to play with Hank & Maggie.

Miss Maggie Mae is finishing up her almost 3 week visit while her mom & dad are on vacation, she is so funny and has loved just about everyone so far. She has endless amounts of energy and likes to sit and bark at her friends if they don’t play with her fast enough.

Lastly we had Addie & Winie, two cockapoo sisters who were referred by Cheyenne & Chloe’s mom. They had so much fun on their little trip and were on their best behavior. Addie was a big snuggler and Winie was all about play! She’s only 7 months old but a very good girl. She was all about roughhousing with the bigger pups and had the time of her life.

That makes our total for the last 5 weeks or so to SEVENTEEN. We had seventeen buddies stay with us and we couldn’t be more thrilled. We are so thankful and excited about how quickly our fur family has grown and can’t see where this journey takes us next. As usual we have another busy month coming up and we can’t wait to see what pals we get to hang out with next! ❤️🐾

Wanted to throw these up as well! We don’t have many reviews here since a majority of our boards come from Rover. Consistent 5 stars across the board for daycare & boarding. We offer the flexibility for drop offs and pickup that normal boarding facilities aren’t able to offer and a level of personalized care that isn’t able to be offered by most boarding facilities due to staffing and the amount of dogs per handler.

We have a huge fenced backyard, a gravity waterer, and more toys and bones than most dogs have seen in their lives 🤣 Many of our customers are repeat customers which we love to see! We work from home and love spending time at home so they’re with someone 99% of the time they spend here. The kids love running outside with them and playing. We have plenty of dogs beds but they’re welcome on any furniture or lap they’d like.

We’d love to have your fur baby spend time with us and we’re sure they’ll have a blast! 🐾
