Dog Boarding Springfield

“Sarah and Todd were quick to respond to our request and so accommodating for our dog during our quick overnight trip to Springfield. They were so communicative and went above and beyond! It was a convenient option that gave us peace of mind and flexibility with limited pet friendly lodging options!”

“Kim was great with Chase! He was so in love with her 6yr old son, I was informed they loved on each other all weekend ☺️. They really made me comfortable leaving him, Chase is the only dog and can get really anxious around strangers but he did GREAT! She kept me updated and with pics 😊, addressed all my concerns. Would highly recommended her and Penny, I will definitely be back if I ever need a sitter again!!”

Brittani W.

“Our dogs were in great hands while we were gone. She sent pics and updates which we enjoyed. The dogs looked very content in their new surroundings. I will definitely call Pam whenever we need a pet sitter. She was excellent and the dogs were happy to see us. Thank you so much Pam and family!”

“My girls are happy at Karen’s house and are well taken care of. I greatly appreciate the peace of mind knowing that they are ok in my absence. I was out of town for 9 days and felt like they were in good hands.”

About: My name is Jessica, my partner Richard and I have recently decided to open our home to boarding again! While I have much experience with cats, Richard has got quite the history raising dogs. He was born into a home with a well educated German Shepherd. His father trained mainly Pit-bulls and Shepherds, and his grandparents raised and bred Keeshons and Golden Labs during much of his and our lifetime together. We have always had a special interest and investment in raising and training canines! Not just big dogs but little ones too. His mother worked with a rescue shelter that also certified and 'dispatched' therapy animals. Together we have certainly learned a lot about taking care of pets. Both Richard and I have the patience, heart, and experience to provide excellent care for some of the most special of needy dogs. We have one cat, her name is Shade! If we have a pooch over for the night she stays with her brother Dexter, who lives nearby. Please, if your pet requires any medication or has any special needs, please outline those needs specifically with a written note and verbal communication upon arrival. We are completely available to you and your pets full-time untill further notice! late-nights, or early mornings, offer us courtesy and we'll be the flexibility! We live in an apartment, non-smoking, we have a small parking lot out front and a unfenced yard in the back. There are two friendly neighboors who both have cats and also love furry animals, the kitties stay inside and are well mannered. Neither of them are very 'sharp and pointy.' I drive a hatchback and can transport dogs up to a large size who are well car-broken. We enjoy strolling through washington park and hanging out at the dog park on the North end of town (Stuart park.) We and your pet will not go anywhere together, (other than our home and neighboorhood,) without your express permission. We are completely available to you and your pets full-time untill further notice! late-nights, or early mornings, offer us courtesy and we'll be the flexibility! We live in an apartment with small back yard behind the building. Potty breaks are every 2-3 hours until bedtime. We heed special dietary requests, or otherwise will feed our animal friends when we do with controlled portions three times a day.

About: Hi! I’m Gaby, a lifelong dog lover with a background in Animal Science and hands-on experience working with animals. In addition to being a dog owner myself, I’ve volunteered at a local animal shelter, where I’ve cared for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. These experiences have taught me how to be patient, attentive, and compassionate while ensuring every dog feels safe and comfortable. I understand that every dog is unique, so I take the time to learn their routine, walking style, and preferences. Whether your pup enjoys an energetic adventure, a relaxing stroll, or plenty of time to sniff and explore, I’ll make sure they have a fun and enriching experience. As a pet parent, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog. I’ll treat your furry family member as if they were my own and keep you updated with photos and messages after every walk so you can have complete peace of mind. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and genuinely passionate about animal care. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I am currently working full time. My work environment is hybrid, so I’m mostly working from home. My schedule is flexible and I’m available for weekday walks, with availability during late mornings, afternoons, and early evenings. I’m happy to work with your dog’s routine and find a schedule that works best for both of us. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for your pet. I treat every dog as if they were my own and always take the time to understand their routine, personality, comfort level, and any specific instructions from their family. During walks, I focus on keeping your dog safe by using proper leash handling, being aware of our surroundings, and following any preferences you have regarding routes, pace, and interactions with other dogs or people. When entering your home, I will always be respectful of your space and follow your instructions carefully. I understand that trusting someone with your pet and your home is a big responsibility, and I will provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care every time.

“It was our first time leaving our puppy, and Kari took excellent care of him while we were away. She responded immediately every time I reached out. Wonderful people and home.”

“Beans always seems to have a great time with Lyndee! He loves her house and gets plenty of love. I have peace of mind leaving him with her when we go away!”

About: I have experience with all kinds of pets. From reptiles, felines, and mixed breed pups, to Pit Bulls and German Shepherds. I love them all 🫶🏾 I work from home for a minimal contact tech company. After my little ones leave for school at 8:30 AM, my schedule is completely flexible. We miss having fur babies around and will treat them as part of our family. I have mild mannered boys 8 and 6 that love nature and animals.

“Ashley was absolutely amazing with Ark! He is a young, high-energy puppy who can definitely be a handful, but she took such great care of him and kept me updated throughout his stay. It was clear that she was patient, attentive, and genuinely cared about his well-being. Ark came home happy, healthy, and tired—which is not an easy accomplishment! I also really appreciated how welcoming she was and how comfortable she made the whole experience. I would trust her with Ark again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. Thank you so much for everything, Ashley!”

About: I have experience fostering dogs with the animal shelter APL and have a small toy poodle of my own. He is very friendly with other dogs and loves to play. I love dogs and would love to have the opportunity to watch dogs and take care of others! I am open to watching dogs for a couple hours, a day, or even a couple of days if that is what is needed. My house has a small backyard and I am also available to do drop ins at the dogs own home. The area is very quiet and would be comfortable for another dog to be in. If I am caring for someone else's dog I plan on being home for the time I'm watching the dog so that it will be well taken care of. I’m currently only working part time so I have plenty of time to spend with your animals. I am available early mornings or early afternoons to give your animal a break during the workday! I am also available any time on the weekends. I have a fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs to keep your dog company. I have a toy poodle and a golden retriever. I can also do drops in to walk or play with your dog as well!

“It was comforting to know that Pepper was in a comfortable space, room to run outside, with plenty of people and pup friends to keep him occupied while we were on vacation! Kyle and Lyndzie sent lots of updates throughout the week too! Gave us peace of mind and we would definitely book with them again!”

Renée F.

“Thank you!”

“Both of my dogs really enjoyed their stay at Madi’s and she took great care of them! We will definitely be using Madi for all of our future dog sitting needs.”
