Welcome to Dog Paws Boarding Resort, LLC. – A Boutique Boarding Experience
Nestled in the heart of Cedar Rapids, Dog Paws Boarding Resort, LLC. is more than just a kennel—it’s a home away from home for beloved four-legged family members. Established in July 2020, Dog Paws was built with love, passion, and an unwavering commitment to quality care.
Housed in a beautifully remodeled 1940s Antique Corn Crib, this one-of-a-kind boutique facility is a testament to dedication, investment, and thoughtful design. Over $120,000 was poured into transforming this space into a safe, functional, and high-end boarding experience—fully compliant with city codes and engineering standards to ensure durability and safety.
What Makes Dog Paws Different?
✅ Immaculately Clean & Odor-Free – From the day we opened, we’ve maintained a sparkling clean environment that doesn’t smell like a typical boarding facility—inside or out.
✅ Thoughtfully Designed for Comfort & Safety – With two floors of carefully curated spaces, Dog Paws offers a stress-free, enriching stay for every kiddo:
Dog Paws is not just a business—it’s a lifestyle.
Whether you’re an aspiring entrepreneur or a seasoned animal care provider looking to expand, this fully operational facility is ready for a seamless transition. The current owner will offer a customized Succession, Coaching & Transition Agreement (separate from the real estate list price), priced at $20,000 making this a true turn key purchase and investment!
This includes:
• Website & domain
• Operations handbook
• SOPs, Intake forms, and training materials
• Client records
• Branding assets & ongoing guidance
• On site training
⚠️ State Licensing Note: The new owner will need to complete the State of Iowa Department of Land & Agriculture Kennel Licensing process, as kennel licenses are non-transferable per Iowa law.
A Legacy of Quality, Safety & Love
Dog Paws Boarding Resort was built on the foundation of top-notch quality care. Our focus has always been on providing a safe, structured, and loving environment for every kiddo. While licensed for Doggie Day Care (up to 10 dogs), we have primarily specialized in exceptional boarding services, so this is a service you could offer for additional revenue.
