Pet Boarding Training near Springfield

“Super sweet and really took time for my Hankipoo! He came out looking like a fluffy cloud. It was amazing! Thanks again!“

“Julia has this almost magical ability to connect with dogs. She helped my pup through her important firsts with patience, confidence, and genuine love. I felt completely supported, and my dog thrived with her guidance. Clear boundaries, kind energy, and a true gift with animals—couldn’t recommend her more!“

“Having the peace of mind knowing that my cat was in good hands while I was away is invaluable!! Jelane took wonderful care of our furry baby, she gave us immediate updates and pictures. I will definitely be using Muddy Paws next time we go away, as well as recommending her to anyone who needs a pet sitter!“

“I adopted Frankie when she was 6 months old. She had been adopted by another family and things did not go as planned. After several different training classes, we found Chrissy.Chrissy came to meet Frankie, and with her help, we identified some key core competencies that Frankie was missing.Frankie went through the board and train program with Chrissy. Chrissy was clear about how to make the program work for Frankie and me. She was thorough, professional and clear about what to expect with this initial board and train period.Fast forward to picking Frankie up and bringing her home. Frankie's re-entry into the home has been remarkable. Chrissy taught me an effective way to communicate with Frankie calmly and yet firmly. Frankie seems much more confident knowing what is expected of her and knowing which behaviors will not be tolerated. Chrissy taught me techniques and commands I can use so that both Frankie and I can have a mutually enjoyable life together.What felt like hopelessness now feels like peace! I am confident that moving forward Frankie and I will continue to work on training to insure we both have the best owner/pet relationship possible.I highly recommend Chrissy to help you with your training. Your dog will thank you. Thanks Chrissy!“

“Hands down the best dog daycare/sitter around. I've used Virginia and Pampered Pooch for over a decade now - and even now that I live in Portland still bring the pups down to stay with her for almost all of my work travel.The level of care and attention afforded to pups here is second to none and there is no one I'd trust more with my fur kids.“
