Highlights
Pet care experience
Exclusively Small Breeds 💗
🐾 Welcome to Lapdog Lounge 🐾 I’m a top-rated Springfield sitter with 100+ five-star reviews, over 20 years of dog care experience, and a passion for providing a safe, peaceful boarding experience designed exclusively for 💗 SMALL BREED DOGS 💗 I genuinely love the unique personalities and quirks that make little dogs so special. When you book with me, your pup becomes part of a calm, home style environment where safety, comfort, and individualized care come first. I created Lapdog Lounge because I believe small dogs thrive when they’re surrounded by dogs their own size. By caring exclusively for small breeds, I’m able to provide a more relaxed environment with less risk of accidental injuries and fewer overwhelming situations. My home is best suited for small companion breeds such as Chihuahuas, Yorkies, Pomeranians, Dachshunds, Papillons, Shih Tzus, Cavaliers, Maltese, Toy and Mini Poodles, Corgis, and similar small-breed mixes. I do not accept large dogs, allowing me to maintain a space designed specifically for little dogs. ⸻ 🏡 What Makes Lapdog Lounge Unique • Small dogs only—never mixed with large dogs • Fully fenced yard for safe play and potty breaks • Calm, home based environment with frequent supervision • Senior dog friendly • Slow introductions when needed • Low volume boarding designed to avoid overstimulation • Safety-focused screening and meet-and-greets ⸻ 🐶 A Home Away From Home Many dogs settle in quickly because the environment feels more like visiting family than staying at a traditional boarding facility. My home includes two gentle children, resident small dogs, and plenty of opportunities for companionship, relaxation, and supervised play. ⸻ 🤝 Let’s Connect If you’re looking for a peaceful, small dog focused boarding experience where your pup will be cared for like family, I’d love to meet you.

Ratings and reviews
Brooke was great at communicating when she watched my dog Waffles! I would book with her again 100%! She brushed his teeth and took great care of him! 😊
Second time booking with Brooke. She is excellent. You will be so pleased. We will continue to use her for our sweet pup in the future. He comes home so happy and well taken care of!
From start to finish Brooke stayed attentive and calm and upbeat. I appreciate the care she gave our dogs.
Brooke was so amazing for my dog Meeko!! She took the time to meet him and get to know him at drop off and asked lots of questions about him! I can tell she really cares for animals and I love that! She was extremely accommodating and was amazing at taking cute pictures and updating me. He fit right in like family! I will be using her again 100%!
Brooke was so good with our pup. She even helped him get potty trained while we were on vacation. She sent us videos, pictures, daily updates and even tips on training our dog. She’s very responsive and trustworthy. We didn’t worry at all and knew our puppy was in great hands! I cannot recommend her enough for your dog sitting needs.
Great GREat GREAT service and care for our dogs! We were nervous about leaving our elderly dachshund with Brooke along with our puppy (we have previously used Brooke for daycare for our puppy and had a Super Positive experience), but, because our older dog is such a cranky fella and doesn't do well outside our home, we were hesitant to leave him anywhere. After deciding to try it, as Brooke was so amazing with our puppy for daycare, we were not disappointed. She went above and beyond to make him (and the puppy) feel comfortable while we were away. We received daily updates, photos, or videos. Don't hesitate to book Brooke - she provides wonderful service. We will definitely use again.

Schedule
As a Stay at Home mom and full time pet sitter, I am at home all day, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. Dogs receive regular meals, potty breaks, supervision, and companionship throughout the day in a calm, home based setting.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I heavily focus on steady routines and emotional comfort rather than constant activity, which works especially well for small dogs, seniors, and low key companions.

A typical day
A typical day here is calm, comfortable, and unhurried. Dogs start their day with a relaxed morning routine, regular potty breaks, meals, and plenty of time to rest and settle in. Throughout the day, they enjoy supervised time in the yard for fresh air and gentle movement, along with quiet companionship indoors. Weather permitting, I’m happy to take dogs on short, leisurely walks, usually just around the block, especially for pups who enjoy a little extra exploration. Walks are always based on each dog’s comfort level and preference. This is a peaceful home environment where dogs are free to nap, lounge, and interact at their own pace. Some dogs enjoy short play sessions, while others prefer to relax nearby, and both are perfectly welcome. I focus on routine, comfort, and helping each dog feel safe and at ease.
