Top rated Springfield dog boarders
“Donte did an excellent job looking after our two dogs and cat during the holiday weekend. The drop-off process was seamless, and he maintained good communication before, during, and for the pickup. Will definitely book again.”
“Ashley did such an incredible job watching my dog, I wish I could give her more than five stars. She was so attentive to his needs and was sure to send me so many pictures of my little guy while I was gone. I already told her we’d be using her again, because I’ve been so whole-heartedly impressed with her. She woke up early and stayed up late to adjust to my crazy schedule while traveling. Thank you so much, Ashley.”
“Robert took such good care of Ivy. I could tell she was so comfortable and happy through the updates and photos he sent. The photos were such amazing quality and they made me smile when i was missing my pup!”
“We were a bit nervous about leaving our sweet Gabriel with someone new this was our very first time trusting our dog to someone we didn’t know. From the moment we met Nicole, she instantly put us at ease. My husband and I could tell right away that she and her partner were knowledgeable about dogs. They kept us updated every day with messages and adorable pictures, which meant so much to us. Gabe seemed to have the best time, made new friends, and came home happy and relaxed. This was truly the best experience for us, and we’ll definitely be using their services again! BTW Gabe didn’t want to leave. -Simpson Family”
“Our experience with Brian has been wonderful from the start. He was very responsive, and took the time to really understand Scotty’s schedule and needs. Scotty had a wonderful time with his family, they provided a very warm & caring home for our baby while we were away. Scotty also had a great time bonding with Brian’s dogs Bruno and Lily, and they are now friends for life! Brain will definitely be our first choice going forward.”
“David was great! Meet and greet was very informational and David updated on me on how he cares for dogs while he is boarding at his house. Dropping off and pick up was very easy, and David kept me informed on buddies my dog made with other dogs.”
“Alice is awesome! She helped take care of my dog Emily while I was traveling for three days. Alice is very trustworthy and responsible. She is detail-oriented and made sure everything related to Emily—her leash, eating habits, and walking routine—was in order from the very first day. She also gave Emily lots of pets to help her adjust well. Alice sent me pictures every day and responded to my texts promptly! When I picked Emily up, she kept looking back in the direction of Alice’s apartment—I could tell Emily really liked her and missed her! I highly recommend Alice if you need boarding services. She’s truly great!”
“Alex and her family were very welcoming. I like that they did a meet and greet just to ensure that my dog would be a good fit for them to take care of. My dog was very excited to be with them and they took great care of him. I received updates and pictures during his stay. I am grateful to them to be able to enjoy my vacation and know that my precious Goose was in great hands. I am appreciative and grateful for such wonderful service.”
“Kevin was Amazing , Honey had a great time on her 10 day stay-cation with Kevin and all her new 4 legged friends. I received plenty of updates and pictures as well. I will definitely be using him again. Highly recommend!!”
“Loved having Toby stay with Chrissy! She sent pictures thoughout his entire stay and he couldn't have been happier being there. I can't wait to rebook and have Toby stay there again...and again...and again.”
“Carly was fantastic. She watched my dog, Griffey, over Memorial Day Weekend and I was very satisfied with the experience. Carly was proactive with sending updates every day throughout the stay, so I always knew how Griffey was doing. It was a great environment for Griffey - her two dogs provided the companionship, socialization, and play that he would not typically have otherwise, and the hikes Carly took him on gave him plenty of exercise. Carly was a great sitter and it was clear that she genuinely cared for Griffey's well-being. I would definitely return as a customer if Griffey needs a sitter in the future.”
“Porter had the best time ever! We got so many pictures and follow up and knew he was in the best hands. Will definitely use for trips in the future. Thank you so so much!”
“Patty is the absolute best! She took such great care of my dog Pippa for an extended stay. She was so kind and communicative. She treated my little girl like she was her own. She and her husband are truly dog whisperers.”
“Our first time leaving Max with Sangeetha and I was very nervous. Max, who was a rescue from a neglect situation, is aggressively affection. At 85lbs, he can sometimes prove to be a LOT. Sangeetha and her husband were wonderful with Max! He was so happy and comfortable with them (I have many pictures to prove it) and he came home better behaved than before he left!!! Sangeetha will be our sitter of first choice from here on out!”
“This was my second time having Stephanie and her partner watch Clowe, and I could not be happier! Stephanie is a great communicator, and always available. My pup can’t wait to hang there again! Thanks Stephanie!”
“Olivia was so great with Babaganoush! She was very patient about all his quirks and neediness, and her frequent updates and photos made us feel at ease. So grateful he had a loving place to stay. Thank you Olivia!”
