Dog Boarding near Springfield, MO
If you live in Springfield, you're closer to Howliday Pet Resort than you might think. Head east on US-60 and in about half an hour you're pulling up to our door in Rogersville, where your dog trades city sidewalks for supervised playgroups, a comfy suite or kennel, and a team that learns their name on day one.
Springfield families book us for a weekend away, a two-week trip, or simply a daycare day when the house feels too quiet. Every boarding stay includes all-day daycare, so your dog spends the day playing with pups their own size and heads to their room only for meals and sleep.

Room to roam
Being just outside the city gives us indoor and outdoor play areas where dogs are grouped by size and temperament, with staff supervising every playgroup.

One stop for everything
Boarding, daycare, baths, nail trims and training all happen under one roof, so one drop-off can cover a stay, a bath and a little polish on manners.
“My fur babe goes to Howliday for daycare & boarding. When he arrives he is always so excited to go play with the other pups, and at pickup he's so worn out from all the playing! Every staff member I have met is very helpful and you can tell they love every dog that comes through the door.”
