Pet Boarding Strafford

“Our fur baby Goldie had a great time with Emilyn and her husband! We went to SDC for the Christmas lights and she was able to accommodate us on short notice. We appreciated her updates and pictures. If we are ever in Nixa again we will definitely contact her! Thanks Emilyn!”

“Emma was fantastic with our pups! She sent us lots of “pupdates” with pics. Took the girls on several walks, on outings to the park and even tried to teach them tricks. She went above and beyond with everything. I couldn’t have asked for a better first time Rover experience.”

About: I’ve been around pets my whole life and enjoy spoiling them. I have two dogs and a chinchilla. We’ve previously owned cats as well but don’t have any in the home currently. I work Monday through Friday and have holidays off, which gives me plenty of time to spend with our pups. When I’m not working, I love playing, cuddling, and making sure they feel loved and spoiled. I would love the opportunity to welcome your pups into our home, give them lots of attention, and make them feel like part of the family. We have a large, fenced-in backyard where dogs have plenty of space to run, play, and explore. The yard is enclosed with a 5-foot chain-link fence to help keep everyone safe, including our dog Pepper, who loves to jump. We’re located in a quiet subdivision outside of town, away from busy highways, allowing us to provide a peaceful and secure environment for your pups to enjoy.

About: I have cared for pets all my life. I have always had a dog or 2 in my house that are spoiled and had me well trained. I owned a dog boarding, daycare, and grooming business in Ozark for 8 years.. I retired about four years ago. Since I am retired, I am home most of the day, except for a few errands to run occasionally. I live alone with two senior dogs who get along with most other animals. There are no children in the house. My home is all one level, with a fully fenced backyard. Fur babies cared for in my home have free run of the house, are allowed to be on the furniture, (unless the owner request differently). I am capable of crating your loved one if they are already crate trained… Your fur babies will get lots of love and ear scratches. I’m experienced in various diets and food prep along with medication’s, including injections.

“Elizabeth did an amazing job taking care of my puppies. They love being there and she is great with them. We will definitely use her again!!! Amazing job!!”

She went out of her way to provide the best service and care for our pet!! We are so glad we met her and will definitely reach out to her again!”

About: Hello! My name is Brooke and I have a precious English Springer Spaniel and had a beautiful Bernese Mountain Dog. I am a big dog lover and take my dog everywhere she can go with me! We love to hike, go biking, chase squirrels and the next door neighbors dog! I love spending time with animals, period, whether it’s playing with them or just taking them on a much needed walk! I also have house sat/pet sat for various families over the years and am extremely flexible with whatever families need. I have house sat/puppy sat from just a couple nights to several months at a time. I offer services of walking, in-home visits, over-night stays and quite frankly am flexible with any other situations that may come up! Thanks for reading and I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! I currently work full time and even though I love puppies, would prefer to watch dogs that have a well established routine and can be ok for sometime alone before I can come and walk them and play with them. This is part of my personal routine with my own puppy. At this time I do not have a fenced in yard at my own home, so talking my dog for a long walk on the trails near my house is a must! For families where I am watching not only their animal but their home, I like to work within their animals normal routine so as not to add any more stress to the owners or the animal.

“Nancy and Kevin took such sweet care of our fur baby Honey. She was completely spoiled! They fed my picky eater off of their dinner plate and hand fed her. Nancy provided a photo library daily. We missed her so much, but had complete Confidence in her care.”

“Brooke took great care of our dog. She asked questions about her routine and feeding ahead of time and kept us updated while we were away. We will definitely use Brooke again in the future!”

Kelly B.

“Sydney and her husband did a great job with our dog. They were very easy to work with and gave timely updates with pictures! If we’re in the area again, we wouldn’t hesitate to have them take care of her.”

Troy K.

“Lael was wonderful with my pups and was so kind to share pictures and updates with me while they were there. I will definitely be a repeat customer!”

Stacy B.

“Olivia was fantastic! She is extremely kind, communicates clearly, and flexible with changes. We had a few changes with our schedule, and she was so nice about it and took care of things. She sent us pictures and videos of our dogs while we were away. They had a great time, and I felt like they were so safe in her hands. I’ll definitely take them back again ?”

About: Walking, bathing, and hanging out with dogs is some of my favorite downtime activities. Growing up with a dog I learned all the necessary skills to watch over a dog. I even volunteered at the humane society in both the dog and cat area for four years! I am currently a teacher so I work from 7-4pm Monday through Friday, but if you need someone to walk your dog at night or house sit for the weekend or even a week night, I am your person! My husband also works from home so if you’re boarding during the week day he is also here to help out if needed. Whatever you need me to do is what I will follow. I will come to your place as my animals do not take well to strangers. But rest assured I will take great care of your animal, in whatever capacity you need. At our home we two cats that do well with other dogs but tend to ignore them, and one dog who LOVES other dogs so no worries there.

“Our super high separation anxiety diva lab was so happy when we picked her up and we got plenty of pictures and updates while we were gone. She went on walks, was fed and had the cutest play mate while being taken care of by Tyler. Definitely recommend”

Alejandra S.

“Kim was great. It was super nice to get some Pictures over the weekend our pup definitely had fun as her mini boarder collie was up for playing. Will definitely use her again.”

About: I am a lifelong animal advocate. Having recently lost my own pups to old age, I have a big space in my heart and home that I’d love to share with your dog. I deeply value the unique bond between humans and their pets, and I would be honored to be your dog’s trusted companion while you are away. My home provides a calm, attentive, and nurturing atmosphere—perfect for pups who need a little extra TLC, playtime, or just someone to keep them company. I have experience as a dog grooming assistant, dog-sitter (overnights), and also have cared for my senior dogs who both had special needs. I am a healthcare provider (occupational therapy) as a profession, so I have medical experience as well. I’m currently working 32-hours Monday through Friday, only about 6-7 hours a day. I work less than a mile from my home, so I am easily able to stop by on lunch breaks as needed. I am completely free after work and all weekend long, when off work, your pup will be my full attention! I also have a pet-camera in my home for when I am gone. My house is extremely pet safe, I have had senior pups and have purchased many adaptive equipment, such as pet stairs, to keep them safe. I have a fenced back yard and one pup, Lida, who is extremely friendly and always eager for more pet-friends. I have basic medical pet care training and a very safe home.

About: Booking with me allows for your dog to get a well rounded experience that will keep them comfortable while also providing fun and healthy experiences for them! I live on a 40 acre farm that has many trails, animals, and senes that keep your dog happy, safe, and busy! I also have studied k9 behavior and know how to provide your dog socialization and stimulation! I am currently a student at a local college where I play basketball! This allows me to be home in between classes and practices unlike somebody with a full time job. I can provide potty brakes every 2-4 hours as well as walks and play time! I have loved animals since I can remember! Making sure they are happy and well cared for is a must! I will treat your pet as my own and I understand your pet is not just an animal but rather a member of your family! Ensuring they are treated as such is important to me. Fresh water, attention, play time, cuddles, and more are very important to me. I also understand you need updates! Pictures and frequent communication between me and you is also important to me!

About: Hello, I currently have a work-from-home job. I have two amazing fur babies, Milo (Augi) and Mila (Corgi). Milo is 10 years old, and Mila is 6 years old. They are great with other dogs. Milo is very social and always wants to make new friends. Mila can be social but is mostly attached to my side. I am great with dogs and would love the opportunity to care for your fur babies. I do work from home and I am unable to visit during the day, but in the evenings, I am available for visits, walks, scratches, and snoot boops if needed. I have a huge backyard that my kiddos (dogs) love to play in. It is fenced in and secure. If they misbehave, which is rare, I never say "bad boy/girl". I use words like "That was not a good boy/girl." My family calls me a millennial parent as I use positive words/phrases when disciplining. They are crate-trained and do love their kennel. I have a large kennel if needed for a safe space.

About: I’ve taken care of many kinds of dogs, cats, and horses from a young age. I also have experience in dog grooming, ranging from small to large dogs. I am fluent in American Sign Language. I am flexible as I work from home. I normally check pets at least two times a day, but more check in times are available upon request. I have a friendly dog who loves to play and make new friends. He will be very helpful in helping young dogs learn how to socialize.

“Selena is an amazing sitter. She loved our dogs like they were her own. I was impressed with how she handled the tough stuff: the accidents, separation anxiety, hesitancy of the dogs. We got numerous updates - it felt like we never left them. We will use her services in the future!”
