North on 160, east on 60

Dog Boarding & Daycare near Nixa, MO

From Nixa, getting to Howliday Pet Resort is mostly one long, easy road: US-160 north to the James River Freeway, then east on US-60 to Rogersville. Plan on about half an hour each way.

Because that's a real drive, we try to make every visit count. Boarding stays include all-day daycare, you can add an exit bath so your dog comes home clean, and our trainers can work with your dog during a Board & Train stay, so you pick up a better-mannered pup at the end of your trip.

Why Nixa pet parents make the drive

  • Built for longer trips

    A week away is no problem. Your dog plays all day, rests at night, and you can add pup cups, Kongs or lick mats to keep things interesting.

  • Playgroups that fit

    Big dogs, little dogs, shy pups and social butterflies are grouped by size and personality, and our staff supervises every playgroup.

  • Fresh for the ride home

    Book an exit bath at the end of a stay, so the dog who climbs into your car smells a lot better than the one who's been playing all week.

“They truly treat your dog like family, just as we do, and they are incredible people! Our boys had a great time and were so tired from playing that they slept the next few days away once they returned home. We will be back for all of our boarding and doggie play day needs.”
