Why Springfield Dog Owners Choose Howliday Inn Pet Resort for Year-Round Boarding and Daycare

Every dog parent knows that finding a safe, reliable, and loving place for their furry friend is one of the most important parts of pet care. Whether it’s for a day of play or an extended stay while you travel, your dog deserves the very best environment—one that feels like home, but with even more tail wags and fun.

That’s why so many Springfield, MO dog owners choose Howliday Inn Pet Resort for their boarding and daycare needs all year long. From our spacious play areas to our compassionate, professionally trained staff, we’ve created a haven where dogs can relax, socialize, and thrive—no matter the season.

Let’s explore what makes Howliday Inn Pet Resort the trusted choice for so many local pet parents.

1. A Home Away from Home for Every Dog

At Howliday Inn Pet Resort, we believe dogs deserve more than a kennel—they deserve a comfortable, nurturing, and engaging environment where they can feel secure and loved.

Our facility is designed to be just that: a true “home away from home.” Each guest enjoys their own clean, cozy space, complete with soft bedding, temperature control, and attentive care. For pups who prefer company, we offer shared accommodations with compatible playmates, so they never feel lonely.

Our goal is simple: when your dog stays with us, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing they’re safe, happy, and treated like family.

2. Professional, Compassionate Staff Who Truly Care

Dogs can sense genuine care—and that’s what sets our team apart. Every member of the Howliday Inn staff is trained in canine behavior, safety, and positive reinforcement techniques, ensuring your dog receives professional care with a personal touch.

We take time to get to know each dog individually—understanding their personality, preferences, and routines. Whether your pup loves belly rubs, quiet naps, or active play, our team makes sure their needs are met with patience and affection.

And because we’re passionate pet lovers ourselves, we treat every dog as if they were our own. When your furry family member is here, they’re not just a guest—they’re part of our pack.

3. Spacious Play Areas and Year-Round Fun

No matter the weather, dogs need exercise, stimulation, and plenty of opportunities to burn off energy. That’s why Howliday Inn Pet Resort offers indoor and outdoor play areas designed for safe, supervised fun in every season.

Outdoor Adventures

Our secure outdoor yards give dogs room to run, romp, and socialize with friends. With soft turf, shade structures, and play equipment, it’s the perfect setup for dogs who love the great outdoors.

Indoor Play for Rainy Days

When Missouri weather doesn’t cooperate, our indoor playrooms ensure the fun doesn’t stop. Climate-controlled and filled with toys and enrichment activities, these spaces keep tails wagging no matter what’s happening outside.

Every playgroup is carefully supervised and organized by size, temperament, and play style, ensuring every dog enjoys a safe, positive experience.

4. Socialization That Builds Confidence and Joy

Daycare at Howliday Inn Pet Resort isn’t just playtime—it’s an opportunity for healthy socialization. Dogs are naturally social animals, and regular interaction with other friendly, well-supervised pups can improve their confidence, reduce anxiety, and even make them better behaved at home.

Our trained team monitors every interaction to ensure play stays positive and fun. Shy or anxious dogs are introduced gradually and encouraged with patience, helping them feel comfortable and confident at their own pace.

For energetic or playful dogs, daycare offers an outlet for physical and mental energy—so they return home happy, content, and ready to relax by your side.

5. Safety and Cleanliness You Can Trust

At Howliday Inn Pet Resort, safety is our top priority. We’ve built our facility around security and hygiene, ensuring your dog’s health and comfort come first every day of the year.

Our safety standards include:

• 24/7 monitoring and on-site staff during boarding stays
• Fenced outdoor yards and secure play zones
• Regular cleaning and sanitization using pet-safe, veterinary-grade products
• Strict vaccination requirements to protect every guest

We also keep detailed records on each pet’s health, diet, and behavior. If anything seems off—even slightly—our staff will contact you immediately and ensure your pup receives the care they need.

Clean, safe, and well-organized—that’s our promise to every pet parent.
