Ask anyone who doesn’t have a four-legged best friend, and they’ll say doggy daycare is just an off-leash play facility for dogs. Technically, they’re right cuz WE ARE A DOGGY DAYCARE. But we’re also MUCH MORE than just a “dogs gone wild” party hall.

We build curated playgroups which are supervised by seasoned professionals. We work hard to ensure appropriate play that fosters canine friendships, not just an off-leash free for all.

What Makes Downtown Dogs Different?

If we may say so ourselves, we’re not “just another doggy daycare.” We are a social club for both four-legged companions and the people who love them. A community of canines and their human family members.

Our selective club vibe gives your pup something to be part of: a group of pre-screened friends with similar play styles-all of the fun but without the country club snobbery.

To us, The Club isn’t just about basic babysitting for your pup—it’s about crafting a fulfilling lifestyle for your four-legged family members that also includes you.

But Shouldn’t You Be On An Acreage?

That’d be nice but…. We’re in the heart of downtown because so much of YOUR life is. No long detours or suburban commutes—just a quick stop (or a short walk) on your way to work, on your way to pickup your morning coffee orvisit our other neighboring establishments.

In this vibrant and rapidly developing area of downtown Cedar Rapids, Iowa, there are many venues for shopping, grabbing a bite to eat or a few cocktails, and even establishments with pickleball and duckpin bowling. And the city just broke ground on a casino they say is coming soon and it’s only a couple blocks away!

At the end of the day, we offer a relaxed, no rush pickup. You can hang out in the lounge area and catch the news on our big screen, have a cup of coffee, and visit with other pet parents while you use our free wi-fi.

We’re even planning other occasional “yappy hours” and special events for both humans and canines and we’ll announce those as they develop!

Our business hours (6:30am- 6:00pm) make it simple for you to do everything you need to do during the day, which also allows your pup to enjoy their time with their cronies at the club. And at the end of the day everyone goes home relaxed and happy.

We must admit, we’ve been told we have a bit of a different, by-gone era vibe at The Club, and that’s by design. Stepping inside feels a little like entering an old school club from the back door (because it kind of is). From our prohibition-era aesthetic, to our cozy lounge for dog parents who want to sit and stay a bit, we’re not just convenient—we’re quirky, fun, and laid back.

Here’s why our members choose us:

• It’s social, by design. For humans too!

• It’s for the dog who loves other dogs.

• It’s an experience you will both love.

And the best part is, once you’ve done your paperwork, quick meet & greet, and have been approved to attend daycare, your membership is always included for FREE!
