Dog Boarding Mabel

“This was by far our best pet sitting experience! Our two miniature schnauzers are anxious, but we could tell they were very loved and well taken care of during our five days away. They seemed very sad to leave their new friends and slept a whole day after we got back! Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of them and giving them a home away from home!!”

“Our pups did well with Claire on their first stay! Claire was very communicative and sent photos too. She was very patient and understanding of letting our girls adjust to a new environment. Claire is very knowledgeable and gave us a few helpful recommendations as well.”

“Maddy is the best sitter! She was so welcoming to Milo and took such good care of him! He came back happy, healthy and clearly having had a blast with Maddy and her family. Would absolutely rebook!”

“They were terrific! Kept in touch, sent pictures. I could tell they took good care of my Emma doodle. I would book with them again in a heartbeat.”

“We had Ying watch our kitty cat, Mr. Ribs, for a week while we were away. He was a fantastic cat sitter. He sent tons of pictures and videos and kept us updated with his sleeping and eating habits. Ying played with Mr. Ribs and kept him entertained. This was comforting for us as the little guy loves people, so leaving him alone or isolated was not an option. Ying was a great companion for the kitty, and we will definitely use him in the future.”

“Teresa was fabulous, on all levels. Knowing that Remy was been taking care of and having a great time made my vacation more relaxing. Teresa made it a vacation stay for the pup, walks, parks, new experiences - he obviously had a great time. I will definitely use Teresa again.”

“Riley had so much fun at Sabrina’s. I boarded him for 3 nights and 4 days. Sabrina sent me photos every day of Riley playing with the other dogs. Although he was happy to see me I think he is depressed that he is not playing with his buddies.”

“My dog has a great time with Bradley. He seemed very happy and got plenty of attention and activity. Bradley wa great in communication, genuine affection for pups. I’d definitely look to Bradley in the future for dog sitting.”

“Brittany loved on my sweet Nova. She worked hard to make sure she was well taken care of. Nova has some unique special needs that Brittany gracefully supported. It’s always a hood sign when Nova doesn’t want to leave.”

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about this family! When another Rover sitter canceled on us at the last minute, they graciously stepped up to help us and made us and our dogs feel so welcome within a matter of moments. We got frequent photos and updates, and we can tell that our dogs were truly loved and part of the family. Believe every five star review you read here, this is not a sitter to pass up! Thank you all again!”

About: I've raised 2 puppies who spent their whole life with me. I've adopted 1 rescue and 1 senior. They have had health issues (particularly the rescue and senior) so I'm familiar with some of the early and intermediate signs. We are now at a point in our lives where we want to still spend time with dogs, but we aren't looking for the 24/7 commitment. So we would like to host your furry baby for a night or a weekend and give him all the joy of a good friendship without the kennel experience of a dog hotel. We will be taking on pet care Friday thru Sunday. We may be able to support an emergency during the week, but since we both work full time, that would mean I would need to work from home for a day (which is pawsible with notice). However, it would not be our preferred schedule. We want to spend time with your dogs playing and relaxing - not just leaving them in an unfamiliar space while we are at the office. We are looking for day or overnight services on the weekends when we are free and planning to be home. We would expect you to bring enough food and medication to last their expected stay plus 1 day (in case of unforeseen circumstances). Then leave the rest to us. We will give regular bathroom breaks and play times (no yard), much love and pets and be vigilant about your recommended food/medicine. We do not look forward to creating your animal. So we expect at least one of us (husband or wife) to be home at all times and we expect your dog to be housebroken.

About: Former dog owner (Luna & Scout) — long daily walks, parks, overnight boarding, feeding routines. Reliable, responsive, I'll treat your dog like my own in Springfield.

I prioritize safety and comfort by creating a pet-friendly environment. I follow routines, use positive reinforcement, and ensure pets feel secure and loved at all times.

“Susana was fabulous with Daisy! I received daily updates with a sweet photo of how she was doing including lots of walks and cuddling. Susana is well versed in dog behavior so she was able to comfortably have Daisy along with a couple of other dogs and monitor their behavior closely during her stay. Daisy was well cared for and seemed very happy during her stay. I would absolutely book Susana again!”

“Jennifer & Josh provided excellent care for Artie for two nights in December 2021. Artie is a 6 mo. old terrier. He is a wild man, lots of energy, very curious & he has a lot to learn. Artie hadn't played with more than one or two dogs at a time, or spent a night away from us before his visit. All dogs have to be assessed for good temperament/lack of aggression before you can make a reservation. Artie's 'meet & greet' was about two weeks before our vacation. Josh met us in the driveway, then we walked into the backyard with Artie & let him off leash. Slowly, other dogs came out to meet Artie. Before I knew it, Artie was running around, getting to know the other dogs and starting to play. We felt very confident leaving Artie with them, knowing that he was safe there. Jennifer & Josh provide 24/7 care and observation. They also helped Artie learn how to successfully play with a group of dogs. Their home and backyard are a dog paradise. So not only was Artie well cared for, he had lots of fun. Based on the photos & videos we received during his stay, Artie will be very excited to stay with them again.”

“Thanks to Wilna and her husband for taking good care of my girl. I was nervous to leave her because I had adopted her just three months ago, but a family emergency made it necessary. The photos and updates I received reassured me that she was doing well. She came home happy.”

“Kierstin took such a good care of my girl La Flaca! I have such a hard time leaving her and Kiertin made me feel extremely comfortable and provided a lot of updates and cute photos. Highly recommend and will be utilizing her services again.”

About: I have taken care of friends, neighbors, family and client's pets for over 3 years and love every minute of it. Growing up my I have been around animals all my life and learned to take care of cats, to dogs, all the way to horses. I am very attentive with certain needed medications your pet may need as well as being patient with any nervous nelly pets that come my way. I am currently working part-time at home, so this allows me to give lots of attention to your fury-loved ones. I also have two friendly and well-behaved king Charles at home who love when new friends come over. My weekly schedule is very open so you can rest assure your pet will be well taken care of. I currently live in a fourplex that has a fenced yard where your pet will be freely to roam around in the well-kept garden with frequent walks throughout the day. My house is always clean, with fresh water laying around at the pet's convenience.

“Valerie took such great care of my two kitty boys! She was truly amazing with them and also with me - sending photos frequently along with updates. She answered my questions and special requests to make sure Izzy was peeing first day. I was able to go visit them as well. Her home is clean and neat. When we arrived to her special room for kitties for drop-off day, it was so welcoming and all set up for two cats. I felt so welcomed. I will have to replicate some of the beds and carpet she has for them, they loved them so much. There is a big, secure catio with kitty door for those cats with indoor-outdoor preferences; it has a whole wooden structure in it for them to climb or be up high or down on the ground. Valerie gave my boys lots of loves and playtime/laptime. Milo "helped" her with paperwork (ahem). She is calm and warm and loving. When I visited, they were so calm. Izzy was hesitant at first, hiding under the bed, but by day 2 he was ready to get rubs and playtime. She even plays soothing kitty t.v./music for them. I 100% recommend Valerie and her set-up. She also invited me for a meet and greet before booking. I am so grateful for Valerie taking care of my cats while I traveled and looked for a rental.”

About: I have spent my life as a pet owner and I like to treat everyone's animals the way I would like mine to be treated. I have, at one time or another, owned dogs, cats, birds, fish, turtles, rabbits, snakes, rats, goats, horses, and chickens and am comfortable caring for many more. I know this site is mostly limited to dog and cat care, but I'm happy to pet sit anything. I am happy to care for pets either in my home or in yours and I'm very flexible regarding my schedule. Every day I care for my own household animals, and I'm more than capable of taking care of plenty more. My animals include 3 dogs of varying sizes, two cats, a parrot, and an aquatic turtle. Though I have plenty of experience with other animals as well. I'm happy to either host animals in my home or venture to pets in their own homes. I believe that my job in caring for a person's pets is to adhere to their wishes for their pets. I want to follow the expectations set for any individual animal. I love to lavish animals with love and affection, but that isn't the right approach for every animal and I need to respect the wishes of their humans within the scope of safety.
