Pet Boarding Columbia

“This was our first stay with Jessica. Our dog had a great time at Jessica’s place! Jessica and family are really nice and were so good to Sasha—it’s the first time we’ve picked up Sasha from a trip and found her so relaxed and happy!”

Jenna K.

“She was so nice and took great care of my pups.”

“Donna was very helpful with my last minute request. She had time to invite me over so Kushito can meet her pack before the stay. She kept me updated with videos and pictures of him! She has an amazing outdoor space. He was very happy when I picked him up and I could tell he had a lot of fun during his stay!”

Jemina N.

“Kelly and her husband are a treasure! They were so gracious about accepting a boarding request that was very last minute and they were even more gracious about my activity running late. Both the dogs were very well taken care of, even the senior one who is a bit spoiled at home! They were relaxed and content when they got picked up. I would absolutely make use of Kelly’s services again and would enthusiastically recommend her to anyone I know. It’s can be nerve racking to leave your dogs with someone you don’t know, but Kelly instantly had me completely at ease. Not only is she a good dog sitter but, perhaps more importantly, you can tell she’s a good person. Excellent, smooth experience! Thanks Kelly!!”

About: I have training experience & trained my pup myself! We play, snuggle, walk, and continue to practice training every day! I love teaching my pup new tricks, and can do the same for yours! We are very happy & energetic in our home! My sweet Buster gets along with other animals very well! He's a sweetie! I make sure to do mentally stimulating activities and challenges for Buster! They're so good for dogs! I make them fun and rewarding! I can do that for your baby too! I work full-time. And when I come home, my attention is on my pup- getting his energy out and having fun! If your request is for house sitting, I would need to bring my dog along with me. I'm home all evenings and all weekends. On the weekend, especially, I'll be available to do all the caring for your sweet babe!! The #1 thing is I don't give my dog people food. If I do, he only gets safe fruits & veggies and cheese. I don't have anything a dog could choke on or really swallow. I put Buster in a kennel when I'm gone, but I could leave your dog out if they don't do kennels. Please ask me questions if you have any!

“Natalie was GREAT! I had a last-minute trip and needed someone to watch my dog. She was extremely trustworthy and kept in consistent communication. I HIGHLY recommend her.”

Addison M.

“Elizabeth did a great job taking care of our Goldendoodle. He seemed happy when we picked him up and worn out from playing with the other dog.”

Mandy H.

“Mindy was very helpful by coming to visit Scooter ahead of time, a couple weeks before he went to stay with her. They made a connection right away, as she seems to have a way with dogs. She sent pictures of Scooter while he stayed with her, which was reassuring. And she offered to bring him back to our house after we returned home, which was very helpful.”

Brenda Y.

“Kaila and her pup were so awesome. She was so accommodating finding a time for a meet and greet during the holidays, and again when our pick up plans changed. She sent lots of photos and videos of my dog living her best life for the weekend. Georgia had a great time and came home exhausted from playing so hard. We will absolutely book Kaila again!”

Nicole C.

“Megan was great! She dropped Lola off with this little cute ? on her collar and also left a totally unexpected report with Lola’s activities, meal etc during her Stay in her bag. EXCELLENT! Highly recommended!”

Carlita C.

“Lisa is the BEST! We left our 7 month old chocolate lab puppy with her for the first time while we went on vacation. He had a great time! Lisa is the sweetest and had no issues with watching an energetic, crazy puppy. She sent lots of updates and photos, and was always available if I needed her. I would 100% recommend her. Moose already is looking forward to going back!”

“Julie was wonderful, she accommodated me for a last minute booking and the boys had a great time with her. She had never administered an insulin shot before but was comfortable learning how to and was great about communicating. Would definitely book again, thank you so much!”

About: I bring a unique level of experience to pet care thanks to running an in-home daycare, where I’m used to managing busy environments, sticking to routines, and giving constant, attentive care. This naturally translates into how I care for pets—I’m patient, organized, and always aware of safety. I have experience with dogs of all ages, including puppies who need structure, consistency, and help with basic training like potty routines and leash manners. I’m also comfortable caring for senior dogs who may need a slower pace, medication, or extra attention and gentleness. What sets me apart is my ability to handle multiple pets calmly while still making each one feel individually cared for. I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and body language, which helps me quickly adjust to each dog’s needs—whether that’s high-energy playtime, calm companionship, or extra reassurance in a new environment. I’m very detail-oriented and follow instructions exactly, so you can trust that your pet’s routine, diet, and any special care needs will be respected. I also prioritize communication and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you feel completely at ease while you’re away. Above all, I treat every pet like part of the family—safe, loved, and well cared for. I have a very open schedule this summer as I do not work in the summer time. My daughters will be with me, but they are A+ helpers! I provide attentive, reliable, and personalized care for every pet as if they were my own. In my home, pets are kept in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of supervision, affection, and structured routines. I make sure they have regular potty breaks, fresh water at all times, and feeding schedules that match what they’re used to at home. I also incorporate playtime, enrichment, and rest so they feel relaxed and happy during their stay. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to reduce stress. I follow all instructions closely—whether that’s feeding, medications, walks, or specific care needs—and make sure your pet feels secure in their familiar space. I’m respectful of your home and provide updates, photos, and communication so you always know how your pet is doing. I have experience caring for multiple pets at once and understand the importance of safety, patience, and consistency. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or needs a little extra attention, I adjust my care to fit their personality and needs.

About: I have owned and taken care of many dog breeds. I have experience with more timid pets and outgoing. Focusing on their specific needs to make sure they feel loved. Basic grooming/bathing, walking, feeding, agility, and playtime! I am a full-time college student in Columbia MO. I offer pet sitting/house sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, and basic training. Availability M-F: 10am-9pm Sat/Sun: flexible I am most comfortable in clients homes, as that is where your pets are at best. Depending on clients needs I am able to do scheduled walks or potty breaks (if yard is fenced) as well as feeding and playtime in your home.

“Samantha was great at communicating and taking pictures while we were gone. She spent extra time comforting Pilgrim during the 4th of July celebrations. Would definitely use again!”

I also have been around a variety of other breeds such as German Shepherds, Great Pyrenees, Yorkies, Corgi’s, Great Danes, and Border Collies. I love every dog like my own and providing top notch care and love to your dogs is my ultimate goal!

I respect everybody’s dog and property and follow the Golden Rule of life - treat everybody and everything the way you like/it to be treated!

About: Hi! I’m a huuuuuuge animal lover, especially dogs. I have had dogs my entire life and am very accustomed to all kinds of different doggy personalities (and love em all!) I do respect boundaries though, so if (for example) you do not want you doggie eating table scraps I will give them none at all. If you don’t mind, great, too! I have experience caring for a variety of animals; including treating wounds, feeding, basic grooming, walks and basic puppy training (going potty, sit etc) Message me! i love animals so i can make time for this “side hustle” any time! i have an open and / or flexible schedule most days vigilante supervision, attention to owners instructions, keeping animals either fenced or in a harness. being mindful of some of the risks involved in certain scenarios.

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I grew up with dogs and have never thought of them as “just pets”, they're family! I've raised both a Beagle and a French Bulldog from puppyhood and have experience caring for senior dogs as well. I love getting to know each dog's unique personality, whether they're energetic and playful or happy to spend the day snuggled up on the couch. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust when you're away. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and cared for while giving you peace of mind. I'm a stay-at-home mom and work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pup attention, playtime, walks, and lots of love. Your dog's happiness and safety will always be my priority. We even have a separate room available for them who would feel more comfortable having their own quiet space while staying with us. My family recently moved to Missouri from Hawaii, where I had the opportunity to care for many wonderful dogs. I truly enjoy being around animals and would love to treat your furry family member like one of my own. For me, the pet care including my dog is the most priority in my life. I’m currently working as a freelance so my schedule is very flexible! I can definitely change my schedule to suit to your request, please feel free to let me know! I will pay my FULL attention to our dogs all the time, and if you have any requests I’d love to do anything you and your dog will love! Your pets' happiness and safety will always be my priority. We even have a separate room available for them who would feel more comfortable having their own quiet space while staying with us.
