In Crawford Park, we board dogs and cats who need more than a cage and a bowl of food. We're a short drive away, and that matters when you're dropping off a pet before a trip. Close service areas mean less time in the car for your pet. We get more time to talk through any special needs before you go. If you're searching for a pet boarding service near Crawford Park in DeSoto, give us a call.

Crawford Park draws families from Prairie Oaks and Keystone Village. These newer neighborhoods have homes with yards and multiple pets. Families here are busy. Kids are at Cambridge Academy or Nova Gymnastics while parents run errands near the Traphene Hickman Library. That means pets often need boarding on short notice, or daycare while schedules get hectic. We've boarded dogs from this area for families headed to the lake. We also board for parents dealing with last-minute work trips. Because we're close, drop-off takes minutes, not an hour of driving across DeSoto.

DeSoto summers push past 95 degrees, and that changes how we care for pets from this part of town. Here's some of the work we do most for families near Crawford Park.
Families near Crawford Park often head out for weekend trips. We keep feeding and medication schedules exact, so pets come home settled, not stressed.
Parents dropping kids at Nova Gymnastics sometimes bring the dog to us too. It's an easy stop on the way, and the dog gets playtime instead of sitting home alone.
A lot of boarding places turn away un-altered dogs and cats. We don't. Families near Crawford Park and even over toward Cedar Hill State Park bring their pets to us for that reason.
Spring storms hit DeSoto hard some years. We keep pets indoors and calm during severe weather. Families worry about this since Crawford Park sits in an open stretch of the city.
We schedule baths and nail trims around the afternoon rush. This is near Longbranch Elementary and Cambridge Academy. Pickup doesn't get crowded out.
Some pets near Crawford Park need medication twice a day. We handle that without extra fuss, and we've done it for senior dogs and cats from Keystone Village for years.
Call us today and what your pet needs before you travel.
We're a short drive from Crawford Park, and that short trip matters on a busy morning. Most drop-offs from this area take less than ten minutes.
Head east from Crawford Park toward Parkerville Road, then follow it to our building. It's about a seven to ten minute drive depending on traffic near the roller rink. No highway needed, just a straight shot down Parkerville.
You can coordinate a drop-off time with us by phone. We'll talk through medication schedules before boarding too. Being this close means we can meet you quickly if plans change.

I had a great experience at Willow Run Pet Resort. My dog was well taken care of during boarding and the staff is great. The groomer did a really good job with grooming service. I’ll definitely be back.
The owners is amazing to work with and do business
★★★★★ Couldn't ask for better care!
We boarded Huey our frenchie, at Willow Run Pet Resort while we were traveling, and the whole experience was wonderful from start to finish. The staff were warm and welcoming at drop-off, took time to go over his routine, feeding, and any specifics, and made us feel completely at ease leaving him.
He came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. You can tell the team genuinely loves animals. The facility was clean, and he got plenty of playtime and attention.
Pick-up was smooth, and we're already planning to book again for our next trip. If you're in the DeSoto/DFW area and want peace of mind while you're away, Willow Run is the place. Thank you to the whole team!
Great communication, Loui (Frenchie)got better 🫶🏽
