Dog Boarding in Dayton, MO

“Meghan was very accommodating with my senior special needs dog. He needed the comfort of someone's home. Her children were an added bonus because he loves kids. We don't travel often so being able to find a place Woody felt comfortable as well as myself helped relieve the anxiety of traveling. Our drop off and pick up time needed to be flexible and Meghan was very available via text to and work with those times on the fly. If we have to travel again I will feel comfortable leaving Woody with her.”

“Kristy was amazing!! She sent pictures and updates everyday and was very communicative. She took our pups on an adventure and even went the extra mile and gave one of them a bath. Ranger and Koda had a great time and will definitely be visiting again!!”

“If I could give 10 stars it wouldn’t be enough. Candice was beyond amazing. Our baby took to her like he had known her his whole life. She has a beautiful family and a huge fenced yard where he could play. She was very thorough with finding out any and all information she needed. She sent us tons and tons of pictures, videos, and updates on our baby. He wasn’t stuck in a crate since he never is at home. She allowed her home to become his. Not only will she be the ONLY place we will ever take him but we are already telling all our dog parents about her. The absolute highest rating possible.”

About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs since I was about 8 years old! From my own to pets of friends and family. I consider animals as important as people! I’ve also cared for my own and other’s fish, birds, hamsters, gerbils, rabbits, guinea pigs, chickens, ducks. I’m an avid hiker and love walking with dogs and even have a cat of my own that I leash trained and goes on walks with me! I’ll play with your pets, take them out for fresh air and exercise, or just hang out for awhile so they don’t think they’ve been abandoned (as some cats and dogs seem to believe)! I am a (for the most part) stay at home mom with a few side jobs. My schedule is highly flexible and can usually accommodate your needs. I love playing with animals! Can feed and give medications as needed in most situations. Scoop poop. Make sure they haven’t torn apart the plants! Etc! In my home care, pets can be walked on a regular basis. Can have their own room if needed or have access to kennel. We have a large house and plenty of room to play. Prices are flexible depending on the location, number and type of animals.
