Doggy Day Care in Bruner

“Took elphie in super last minute and saved the day. Was so kind and loving to her and made me feel comfortable leaving her. She sent lots of photos and was very obviously enjoying the presence of my dog, which gives any dog mom peace of mind!”

“I’ve been using Heather’s pet sitting services 2–3x/week for over 2 years now. She is the absolute best. She will provide such loving, enriching care for your dog. My dog is exhausted from all the play and excitement when I come to pick her up, and that’s exactly what she needs because she doesn’t get enough of that otherwise. Heather has gone out of her way countless times to make sure my dog is taken care of. I’d never consider another dog sitter at this point unless I absolutely had to.”

“Ashleigh was great with our 2 doggies! We can tell she has a very tender heart for animals. She kept us informed all during their stay and even sent pictures. We highly recommend her! Jay & Carol M”

About: Welcome to the Lapdog Lounge!! I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, with many years dedicated to small breeds—especially Chihuahuas and Chihuahua mixes. I understand their quirky, lovable personalities and the extra TLC they sometimes need to feel safe and at home. I genuinely enjoy helping petite pups feel secure, cherished, and comfortable—whether we’re snuggling on the couch or just keeping each other company. Because I focus on caring for small dogs in my home, I welcome small breeds of all kinds under 25 pounds. This helps ensure everyone feels safe, comfortable, and able to relax in a cozy, low-stress environment where little dogs can truly thrive. I take a limited number of guests so I can provide the best care - booking are first come, first served once confirmed. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home almost all the time, so your pet will never feel alone or forgotten. Pet care is part of my daily routine, and I love providing attention, structure, and affection—whether it’s feeding, potty breaks, playtime, or cozy companionship. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. From a secure setup to thoughtful routines, here’s what you can expect when your pup stays at the Lapdog Lounge: • 🏡 A fully fenced, secure backyard for safe (and supervised!) zoomies • 🚧 A baby-gated setup indoors so I always know who’s where—no sneaky escapes here! • 👀 Outdoor time is always chaperoned—nobody’s out there alone • 🐾 Dogs get let out every couple hours for potty breaks, fresh air, and a good stretch—and they can always ask to go out whenever they need to! • 🍽️ Mealtimes are separate to keep things calm and cozy—every pup eats in peace • 🚫 No human food—just the treats your pup is used to (plus I’ve got plenty on hand if you’re okay with sharing!) • 💤 A dedicated doggy sleep room where pups can snooze however they’re most comfy—bed, crate, or snuggled up with me and my crew • 🌙 Dogs are never left alone overnight—everyone gets tucked in safe and sound • ⏰ I’m happy to follow any special routines or schedules your pup needs to feel at home

“Payten was Awesome!! Travi was very happy to go to her house every day and play with the other dogs. He came home and was exhausted. Thank you, Payten. You are AMAZING!!”

Melissa K.

“Kaitlin was so kind and quick to communicate! She was able to help us out with a last minute booking and watch our puppy when we made a stop in Springfield. We will definitely book again if the situation arises!”

Abby T.

“My high energy, anxious GSP comes home happy and tired every time. I’m so glad to have found a safe place Charlie can run, play, and socialize. Dylan is great with all kinds of dogs!”

Amy R.

“Cortney was very friendly, and she took great care of our two energetic dogs! Her place is clean and she was able to care for multiple dogs very well. She communicated well and promptly returned messages and also sent multiple pictures and a video. Our pups were happy and relaxed when we picked them up.”

Kathy P.

“Jill was wonderful with Baby. So happy she was available to care for our little girl. I felt so comfortable, I actually forgot she was with a sitter!”

Lea J.

“Raquel was so great with our 4mo old puppy during our first doggy daycare. She helped her socialize with the other dogs and was very mindful of size/age differences and always had a safety-first mindset. We loved the picture updates and video messages to put our minds at ease for our first day away from our fur-baby. Can't wait to use Raquel again in the future. Thanks!”

Zach F.

“Wicket ran up to Tracy as if she was a long lost friend! He didn’t have any anxiety when I left. Tracy made my fur baby feel safe and secure. She was wonderful!”

Julie R.

“We contacted Debbie last minute as we were in from out of town and out two big pups did NOT like being left in a hotel room (and neither did the people around us)! Debbie and her daughter were wonderful with our dogs, introducing them slowly to the others. Ultimately, they had a blast (we were kept posted by lots of pics throughout the day from Debbie) and we’re completely pooped out at the end of the day. We’ll use her services again in a heartbeat.”

Virginia W.

“Mickayla was amazing with my dog. She was very accommodating to my drop off and pick up times, sent many photos of my dog having a fantastic time and was wonderful to communicate with. Would recommend to anyone!”

Mauricio R.

“Addy was communicative and sent cute pictures and videos throughout the day. A huge thanks for watching Jett!”

Emily J.

“So happy with this sitter, she kept good care of our Doodle while we made our last minute stop at Lamberts on our trip to Missouri! She was a great communicator and shared photos and logged his walk during his stay.”

William M.

“If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Wow! She was so incredible with both my dogs, especially my problem child little Biewer who thinks she runs everyone and everything. She did just as I suggested with the Biewer, just deal with her as though you've always known her (without hesitation). Even with her two dogs, neither of our dogs had any issues. If anyone is hesitant about leaving your babies with someone, rest assured she will protect and care for your babies as you would ypurself.bWe will definitely be back!”

Trish D.

“Roddy took my "nervous nellie" in on short notice so we could attend a no doggies event while traveling. Her stay was short, but went very well...will look him up again when in the area..😆”

About: I grew up with dogs and currently have three of my own. Other than taking care of my own, I have fed and walked dogs for other neighbors and friends. I believe dogs are a part of the family. I understand the level of love and care your pet needs. I currently work from home, so I will have plenty of time to take care of your dogs! I am available to let your pup have needed potty breaks, play time, and walking throughout the day. My house has its own dog room where your dogs can play, nap, and be in a safe space. If crates are preferred, we can crate them in this dog room, or if the weather is pleasant, we can crate them in the garage. We have .5 acre lot where the dogs can roam under my supervision. Me and my husband have three dogs who love to play and meet other dogs. We have plenty of toys and much love to give to your pup! I know updates are very important for your peace of mind, so I will keep in touch with you sending pictures and updates throughout their time with me.

About: My name is Andia Cain. I graduated this May from Kansas State University with a degree in Animal Science Production and Management! I have a black lab named Oscar that I’ve had for 8 years! I have worked in multiple vet clinics so I have a lot of medical experience when it comes to animals. I promise your pet will be safe with me! I’m currently working part time taking care of horses that I feed early in the morning and in the evening. The rest of the day is free for me to care for your pets! I absolutely love going for runs with my dog so if your dog loves exercise then we would be perfect! I am living in an apartment but I will still make sure your dogs needs are met!

“Allison and Dane were great! They responded to messages quickly and sent updates frequently. I would absolutely book them again if we bring Axl back to Columbia!”
