🏆 THREE YEARS IN A ROW! 🏆

K9 Hideaway has been named BusinessRate’s Best of 2026 Award Winner for Pet Boarding Service in Springfield! 🐾

This recognition means so much to us because it isn’t a popularity contest based on collecting votes, creating email addresses, or begging you to vote for us. It’s earned through real customer reviews and real experiences.

Three years in a row is a reflection of the trust our customers place in us and the incredible work our team puts in every single day.

To our team and every customer who has trusted us with their dogs, recommended us, and left an honest review—THANK YOU! ❤️

Three years running. 🏆🏆🏆 And we’re just getting started.

✨ Your VIP pup will enjoy:
🎾 3–4 private outdoor play sessions each day
💙 Two dedicated one-on-one play sessions with a K9 Companion
🏡 Rest and relaxation in between outdoor playing
📸 Photos uploaded to the Paw Partner app so you can follow along with their day

💲 Pricing
🐾 Daycare: $55/day
🏨 Boarding: Add the VIP Individual Daycare Experience for just $15/day during your pup’s stay.

Current Individual Daycare guests will be automatically upgraded to our new VIP Individual Daycare Experience beginning September 1—no action required!

We’re proud to be one of the few facilities in our area offering this level of individualized care. Every dog deserves an experience that’s tailored to their unique personality, comfort level, and needs.
