Our Story
Welcome to Cottonwood Pet Resort – Where Pets Vacation in Style!
Tucked away in the scenic Platte River Valley, just a bone’s throw west of Omaha, you'll find Nebraska’s ultimate getaway for your furry family members – Cottonwood Pet Resort! Since 1990, we’ve been proudly serving the pets (and their humans) of Omaha, Elkhorn, Gretna, Valley, Waterloo, and beyond. Think of us as your pet’s home-away-from-home – only with more tail wags, belly rubs, and treat breaks.
At Cottonwood, we believe every pet deserves the royal treatment – whether they’re here for a weekend staycation, a day of play, or a refreshing spa session. Our award-winning resort offers first-class boarding, doggy daycare, professional grooming, and so much more. And guess what? We’ve been named one of the "Best of Omaha" for five years running – and we’re not stopping any time soon!
Got a social butterfly pup? Our daycare program is the place to be. Picture a day filled with playgroups, toys, sunshine, and supervised fun – it’s basically doggy paradise. For our feline guests, we offer a quiet, cozy environment where they can lounge like royalty, complete with purring satisfaction.
Going out of town? Leave your worries behind – our luxury boarding options ensure your pet gets all the love, care, and attention they’re used to (and maybe a bit extra). From plush bedding to daily playtime and personalized attention from our experienced staff, your pet might not want to come home!
And let’s not forget grooming – our talented groomers are here to make your pet look and feel their best. Whether it’s a quick bath and nail trim or a full spa makeover, we promise they’ll strut out looking pawsitively fabulous.
With over three decades of trusted care, a beautiful countryside setting, and a team that treats every pet like family, Cottonwood Pet Resort is more than just a pet facility – it’s a vacation destination for your best friend. Our passion is pets, and our mission is simple: happy tails and peace of mind for pet parents.
So, the next time your four-legged friend needs a little R&R, bring them to Cottonwood Pet Resort – where every day feels like a holiday, and every guest is treated like a VIP (Very Important Pet)!
Visit us today and see why tails wag a little harder at Cottonwood!
