Apple Creek Canine Resort Dog Boarding
Comfortable, Safe, and Loving Dog Boarding in Marion, IA
When you’re away, your dog deserves a place that feels like home. At Apple Creek Canine Resort, we offer dog boarding designed around comfort, safety, and individualized attention. You can travel confidently knowing your pup is in the best hands.
Whether it’s one night or an extended stay, our guests enjoy cozy suites, loving care from trained staff, and plenty of supervised playtime in our secure indoor and outdoor spaces.
Home Away From Home Suites
Each guest enjoys their own private suite to stretch out and relax. Siblings can even share a room if they prefer. Our modern facility offers a variety of suite sizes to match your dog’s personality and needs. We offer spaces for small breeds to spacious suites for larger pups.
Every suite is climate-controlled for year-round comfort, featuring either tempered glass or solid doors for privacy. For an extra-special stay, our luxury suites include a TV, night light, extra one-on-one attention, and a bedtime story with snuggles before lights out.
Comfort
Every boarding and daycare guest at Apple Creek Canine Resort enjoys cozy blankets, raised cots, and individual food and water bowls — all provided by our team.
We welcome familiar items from home, but please keep in mind that some dogs may chew more when adjusting to a new environment. For pups with joint issues or arthritis, we offer extra blankets, mats, and orthopedic bedding for added support.
Care
Each staff member is trained in Pet CPR and First Aid through PetTech, with additional certifications in administering medications and specialized care routines.
We take the time to get to know every dog — their habits, preferences, and comfort needs — so we can create a calm and reassuring experience.
From playtime to bedtime, our goal is to make sure your pup feels loved, secure, and happy until you return.
