We put the Paw-some in Boarding!

A relaxing and large farm environment for dogs to play!

A man wearing an orange shirt, blue jeans, and a beige cap stands outdoors on green grass, holding the leash of a sitting golden retriever. The retriever appears happy with its tongue out and eyes closed. In the background, there are trees, a distant landscape, and a cloudy sky.

giving each dog the interaction, love and affection

Martin Korver has loved dogs all his life, and running a dog boarding business, Grandpaws Dog Boarding, is his retirement plan. Korver grew up on the farm where he now hosts up to a dozen canines in the transformed dairy barn, which has been converted into a woodworking shop and dog-boarding facility.

The more-than-nine-acre farm one-and-a-half miles south of Alton offers a quiet, relaxing space for dogs of all sizes.
