North Acres Boarding Kennel

North Acres Boarding Kennel is a veteran owned dog boarding facility at 1847 E Farm Road 88 in Springfield, MO, offering overnight stays plus grooming and training. It runs as a traditional kennel: each dog gets an indoor run with a smaller space for eating and sleeping and a larger one for moving around. Stays range from two days to month-long trips, so it fits a weekend away or a month abroad.

How the days go

Dogs are let out six times a day into three fenced grassy play areas, and several of those trips are extended playtime sessions. Feeding and play follow a consistent daily schedule, so the routine holds steady from one day to the next. That predictability matters most for dogs who don't settle easily in a new place.

What sets it apart

North Acres is veteran owned and operated, and it extends a 10% discount to military members, first responders, and teachers. Grooming and training are available on site alongside boarding, which keeps a few errands under one roof.

Booking, hours, and cost

The kennel's published rate runs $32 to $37 per day. Reservations are made online, and questions can go to (417) 833-6069. Hours are 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM Monday through Friday, 7:30 to 9:00 AM on Saturday, and 4:30 to 6:00 PM on Sunday, so weekend timing takes some planning.
