A Family-Owned Pet Resort in Marion, IA
Your Pup’s Spot for World-Class Care!
Get to Know Us
Our story began with Mary and Stan Pfoff, who started Apple Creek from their home right here in Marion, Iowa. When Nikee and Brad Woods took over in 2020, they carried forward that same heart-driven commitment to superior canine care.
Today, our two specialized facilities, one for dog daycare and grooming, and one for overnight boarding, provide top-of-the-line care that goes far beyond a traditional kennel.
Each member of our 20+ person team is trained, certified, and truly passionate about giving your dog a safe and fun home-away-from-home.
All-Inclusive Dog Boarding, Daycare, and Spa Services
Whether your dog needs a playful day of socialization, an overnight stay, or a relaxing spa treatment, we’ve designed our services to fit your pet’s personality and your schedule.
Spacious, climate-controlled suites, personalized attention, and 24/7 on-site care make us Marion’s trusted dog boarding resort.
Safe, supervised playgroups with rest breaks and a variety of indoor/outdoor activities to keep tails wagging all day long.
Full-service grooming from gentle baths to nail trims and coat styling. Keep your pup clean, comfortable, and camera-ready.
