Now that summer is wrapping up, it's time to get the kids back to school and the dogs back to their daycare schedule!

And since school started this week, the daycare dogs had a good reason to make a craft. Just one of the many benefits you get when you let your dogs hang out with us all day. 🐾😎

The first 2 pictures = the Dutch Dogs pov: hairy leggings, a splash of dog drool and puppy cuddles on the couch - and we wouldn't have it any other way!

The rest of the pictures are a Puppy Playground.com appreciation post because we love our couches too much!!

Hot dog summer 🔥🥵

07/10/2024

I'm a little late, but I think we've finally recovered from the most popular holiday!

Holidays are a BIG deal around here because everyone goes away and 99.9% of the time boarding is packed to capacity.

I've been planning for this holiday for weeks. Everything from kennel assignments to group assignments to staff scheduling to dog lunch groups to feeding reports to organizing kennel cards, bowls and name tags to everything in between!

It's not as simple as you think - I spend hours thinking about who is assigned to which kennel. Certain dogs need kennels with tops so they don't jump out, other dogs can't be placed next to or across from certain dogs they would bark at the entire time, non-group dogs need to go close to the exit door for their walks, sibling pairs with a mix of big and small dogs go closer to the inside doors so we can transfer the small siblings to the small group, nervous dogs go in the quieter room, old dogs and dogs with hip/joint issues go close to the outside doors so they have less distance to walk, siblings who don't share a kennel go across from each other so they can still see each other, and then I know certain dogs will make a mess in their kennel so I put them close to the hose. 🤭 And none of that probably makes sense to you (besides my top notch staff).

Now try coming up with all of those plans for two facilities. 👍👍

I don't know if it's an art or a science. But I 100% know what I'm doing. And all of it is for the betterment of each and every dog in my care.

And this is why I have a strict cancellation policy. I understand that life happens and things pop up. But when you change dates or cancel on me at the last second, this completely changes the flow of absolutely every plan we put in place. A LOT of time and effort was put into planning your dog's stay so that it's the best experience possible for him/her. So while I can reroute and change things, that takes extra time and you will still get charged if you're within the cancellation time-frame. 🤷‍♀️

I don't take holidays off and I rarely approve my staff to take holidays off. Until this year. When my cousin decided to get married in Montana over 4th of July weekend (thanks Dave 🥴). I found the quickest (and most expensive) flight so I would only be in Montana for 36 hours...then I had to get back to my dogs. I tried talking myself out of going multiple times and nearly turned around on the way to the airport. But I knew my staff had it under control. It was all hands on deck and I even had both of my groomers there to help out and do exit baths. I couldn't have done it without them and I'm forever grateful that they all stepped up and did a fantastic job of taking care of your pets. Not everything went totally to plan but I'm proud of them for working through the problems too.

❤🤍💙 4th of July is officially 1 week away!!! 🎉

This is your reminder from Moe to paws and double check your reservation for next week. Everything is one giant puzzle at the moment with not much wiggle room! So if you need to cancel or adjust dates, we kindly ask you do so today in order to avoid any cancellation fees.

In addition, there will be no daycare next Thursday and Friday!!

The first holiday weekend in foreverrrr that we didn't have to turn dogs away - we had a solution, come to Sioux Center!!

What a blessing to have customers drive from near and far to have us care for their pets. ❤🤍💙

Meet the Dutch Dogs franchise team! (Or at least maybe in a few years) These 2nd graders at Kinsey Elementary School have been doing career studies and a group of them decided to plan Dutch Dogs #3!

We tossed around the idea of Rock Valley, Sioux Falls, and Okoboji but ultimately decided on Sioux City!

Blueprints have been drawn and everyone knows their tasks too! Hudson is going to handle the money, Ruby is going to walk the puppies, Aubrey is in charge of the pool & splash pad and Jay is going to pick up the p**p!! We are in search of a groomer because these guys are skipping college and going straight into the workforce. 🤣

It was so fun hearing their ideas and let's just say they have BIG plans for me! Sioux City, I'm very sorry but this project will take a few years because most of my team members are only 8 years old. 🤷‍♀️

05/20/2024

🌞 Summer is so close we can almost taste it 😋 💦

With that being said, you will want to get your summer reservations booked soon! Orange City has a few weekends that are already full (dog & cat) and the rest have very limited openings. We do have availability in Sioux Center (thanks to the extra space) and would be happy to get your pups & felines in there!

You've seen our birthday pictures before. But we're taking birthday parties to a whole new level! 😎 🎉

This weekend we had our first ever birthday pool party! Allie invited her besties and they had a fun morning at the pool complete with a photo booth, birthday cake, custom towels, treats and party favors from Baking Joy (our personal fave). Oh, and peep the invites with her gift registry. 🤗

Check out our website to learn more about renting our pool and party room or email Ashley at [email protected] to reserve a date. Throw a birthday bash and invite friends or have the pool all to yourself!

https://dutchdogsoc.com/sioux-center/

We have fun ideas in store for our pool including open swims, hydrotherapy sessions and full moon parties! Watch our page for updates.

🌷🌸Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful moms in the world! Dog moms, this includes you. 💖🐶

Thanks for sharing your children with us 🐾

💦 💦💦 ORANGE CITY!!! 🤩🤩🤩

The splash pad is back open and we're anticipating warmer days! Lu, the lab, had been eyeing it since Wednesday so we gave it a test run yesterday. She even remembered how to turn it on. Which gets her in trouble when splash pad time is done... 🙄 (our fault for teaching the dogs how to turn it on 🥴) But we had some very excited water lovers!!

Just like last year, you can add splash pad time on to your dog's daycare or boarding stay. The splash pad is open Monday through Saturday (weather permitting) so feel free to add as many days your dog wants. 😉 There are passes available for frequent flyers who are looking for a deal!

You can message us, add passes to your customer portal or ask us at check in and we'd be happy to set up your pup for splash pad sessions! 🏝

04/29/2024

🎉Dutch Dogs Orange City opened on 4/19/19 so it was only fitting that Sioux Center opened on 4/24/24! 🎉

Margo helped with check-ins, Luna celebrated her birthday with us and Cruz tested out the life jackets! I finally have the phone working so you can call DDSC at 712-722-4060 or use the SC customer portal to book reservations.

I miss seeing my Orange City owners and dogs tremendously. But I have the best staff in charge who are sending me updates and snaps of your pups. And I'm totally not watching the cameras and checking the software to see who's there. *wink, wink*

04/27/2024

Biggest week in Dutch Dogs history! DDOC turned five and DDSC had it's ribbon cutting and grand opening this week! Never in a million years did I ever think I'd be opening my second location just 5 years after my first business.

Opening day, Orange City updates and pool pictures are coming, but first I want to highlight progress pictures from the construction of DDSC. And all the people who showed up big to help me out. I didn't catch everyone but I so appreciate my contractors, friends and family who have helped put together the pieces of my dream facility this past year. Plus a big shout out to my staff who took over leadership roles and cared for your pets in OC while I was absent getting things ready and making decisions for SC.

Oh - and no need to welcome me, I already welcomed myself to Sioux Center by setting the fire alarms off late on Saturday night. Which alerted the police and fire departments. Guess I won't take any more hot showers. 🤷‍♀️

Orange City - thank you for the most amazing five years of business.
Sioux Center - thank you for allowing me to expand my pawprint in your town. 🐾

04/23/2024

We loved seeing everyone at our ribbon cutting and open house yesterday! We're hosting one more open house tonight from 5-8pm. There's guided tours, giveaways and snacks courtesy of R&F Van Voorst Equipment Company. 🌭

Come check it out before the dogs take over on Wednesday! 🐶

It's one thing to have brand new - top notch facilities with all the bells and whistles. But the safety of your pets in our care will ALWAYS be our #1 priority. And if that means flying my east coast bestie out to certify my lead staff in Pet CPR and First Aid...I'll 100% do it!

Unfortunately, we can't completely avoid emergencies and accidents. But it's great to have the training on what to do in these situations. Our instructor, Jasmin, taught techniques to address the most common emergencies that can occur with small and large dogs as well as cats. The course trained us to notice abnormalities and detect early warning signs in pets. We also learned about essential pre-vet care and life saving techniques for those times when immediate action can make all the difference.

Jasmin owns Unleashed Doggie Daycare in New Milford, Connecticut and teaches CPR classes on the side. We actually met at a pet boarding conference last year and instantly hit it off because we have so much in common! We both became business owners 5 years ago around the same time and our birthdays even fall in the same week! We also seem to have the same problems 🥴 and bounce ideas off each other frequently. Oh and did I mention I introduced her to chocolate martinis in Hershey, PA?!? She hated them. 😞

p.s. this was Jasmin's first trip to the Midwest and she was very disappointed there were no tulips or corn to see yet. But she did see her first tumble w**d!

Sioux Center people, you guys had a hard time "hanging tight". But don't worry! I had the best assistant, Finn, help me get the new software up and running!

We're now taking reservations for Sioux Center Dutch Dogs! If you contacted me previously about switching your bookings to SC, I have those transferred. But please log in to your account and make sure I didn't miss anything!

If you are a current customer, you can use your same login information from Orange City to get into your Sioux Center account. If you're new, make sure you're setting up an account at your desired location.

We had to wait a day for this one because it's no joke! But...it's opening month! Sioux Center Dutch Dogs will officially open April 24, 2024.

Sioux Center customers, please hang tight! There will be a separate customer portal for SCDD. Everyone is currently being copied to the new software and we should be able to start taking reservations later this week! The link will be posted here and on our website.

Our open house dates will be April 22nd & 23rd (more details to come). We can't share all of the pictures quite yet but we have a few sneak peeks!

We are beyond excited for this new adventure and can't wait to show you our new facility!

Spring Break...you have been wild!! 🤠

Thanks for sharing your pups with us. 🥰

03/01/2024

Darby-Dog here to remind her daycare friends to get signed up for playtime asap!! 🐾

We're so proud of 3 local teams that made it to state basketball next week. With that being said, boarding is completely full March 1-9. Due to the high amount of spring break + state bball boarders, daycare numbers will be limited. We kindly ask that you get all daycare requests for March 4-8 submitted by tomorrow (Saturday) at the latest to guarantee a spot.

Please keep our 48-hour cancellation policy in mind so we have time to contact customers on our waitlists. And as always, we will need up to date vaccine proof anytime your dog visits us.

We know that booking 5 months in advance is ridiculous and we promise that it won't be a problem in the near future!! 😉

Welcome to Dutch Dogs!

I have been an animal lover ever since I was little and am so excited to have opened Orange City’s very first, and only, pet boarding, doggy daycare and grooming business. We have been open since the middle of April 2019 and have been SO busy taking care of your pets! We appreciate your business and hope to see you soon at Dutch Dogs!
