Cedar Creek is Columbia's calm, cage-free home away from home — full-service grooming, cozy overnight suites, and supervised daycare on three fenced acres just off the Katy Trail. Drop them off worried; pick them up wagging.
Whether it's a quick freshen-up, a full day of play, or a week-long stay while you travel, every guest gets the same calm, attentive care from people who actually know their name.
Breed-specific cuts, deshedding, nail trims, and gentle bathing in a quiet, low-stress room — finished by certified groomers who take their time.
Private, climate-controlled suites with real bedding — not stacked steel cages. Bedtime check-ins, midnight potty breaks, and your dog's own food on schedule.
Cage-free play in small, temperament-matched groups with staff on the floor all day. Your pup comes home tired, social, and happy — not bored at home.
So we let you. Safety isn't a tagline here — it's how the whole place is built, from the fencing to the front desk.
Check in on your dog any time from your phone. Free for every boarding and daycare guest.
A licensed local vet is on call seven days a week, with a 5-minute relationship to MU's emergency clinic.
Every play yard is double-gated and fully fenced. No escapes, ever — and groups are always supervised.
Heated floors in winter, A/C in summer, and HEPA-filtered air so the whole building stays fresh and calm.
A peek inside the resort — grooming, group play, and very good dogs settling in for the night.

"Bailey comes home exhausted and happy every single time. The bedtime photo they text us while we travel honestly makes our trip."
"Best groom our doodle has ever had — and the only place he doesn't shake on the way in. You can tell the staff actually loves the dogs."
"We boarded both our seniors for nine nights. Meds on schedule, webcam access, zero stress. Cedar Creek is the only place we trust now."
Grooming and daycare are by appointment — same-week openings are common, but weekends and holidays book fast.
Just off Route K near the Katy Trail — an easy drive from anywhere in the Columbia metro and southern Boone County.
