Doggy Day Care Armatage

“Howie took great care of Sully. When I initially dropped him off he took the time to ask questions and get to know my dog. Sully came home pooped out from walking and playing all day. We will be booking again!”

About: I've cared for over 15 different dog breeds since I was 10 years old, from high energy hunting dogs to cozy lap snugglers. Friends and family have trusted me with their beloved pets for years. With 8 years in animal welfare, I understand behavior and emotions, including noise fears, nervousness with new people, leash reactivity, shy/timid, resource guarding, seniors, puppies, and special needs pets. I also care for cats of all personalities independent explorers, playful toy lovers, and devoted snugglers. My goal is to give your pet a safe, loving, stress free home where they feel truly cared for while you're away. Each dog in my care receives personalized attention and love. For daycare and boarding, I limit to two dogs at a time to ensure quality care while they are in a new environment. When house sitting in your home, I can happily care for up to four dogs, keeping everyone safe, comfortable, and happy in their own home. I’m happy to provide photo updates, and our home is fully prepared for play, rest, and supervision. I’m home during the day, which allows me to provide pets with consistent attention, companionship, and enrichment. Every pet in my care enjoys a healthy balance of play, mental stimulation, walks, and quiet time to rest and recharge. Evenings are cozy and relaxed, filled with gentle supervision and snuggles, so pets feel safe, happy, and loved from morning to night. I have a fully fenced yard with secure gate locks to keep pets safe, and I’m happy to make adjustments using leads or harnesses for curious or adventurous pups. I also maintain an up-to-date list of urgent care and emergency veterinary clinics throughout the metro area for added peace of mind. Potential clients are always welcome to schedule a video home tour to see the setup and environment their pet would be in. My home allows for kenneling if needed, and I can provide large and extra large crates. I also offer separate spaces for feeding time and am located near several nearby parks for walks. For cats, I can provide a quiet, separate space if they need time to decompress. In addition to care in my home, I also offer house sitting so pets can remain comfortable in their own environment and routines. I’m located about 15 minutes from MSP Airport, which many traveling pet parents find convenient for drop-off and pick-up. Street parking is available in the area, and rideshares to the airport are typically around $20.

“Dana is fantastic, she takes great care in making sure your little one acclimates to their new surroundings and mingles well with her pups. She is super responsive with communication and responses, and has been very flexible with changes in scheduling! She has been watching our little Ricky on a consistent basis multiple times a week, he can be a bit anxious but has taken to liking her quite quickly, we feel super comfortable leaving him in her care and would highly recommend!”

Todd & Debbie R.

“All I can say is wow! Fantastic communication, so many photos, and made sure my dogs were doing well and let me know. Every single thing I could’ve asked for. Emily is amazing! Very thoughtful about dogs and dog interaction and checked with me on absolutely everything. She is great and earned both my and my pups trust”

Suzy R.

“Jessie took great care of our senior dog! She was very responsive and easy to get in touch with. She sent detailed updates throughout the day and lots of cute photos!”

Mara K.

“Emilie was so good to my dog, Walter. I felt really comfortable leaving her with him for the whole day. She sent tons of pictures of him while I was at work and said he played all day -- which was perfect! I'm definitely going to be rebooking in the future. :-) Walter was pooped once we got home.”

Kit M.

“Paul and Teri are the absolute best! They’ve taken care of Rosie twice now and have been so sweet and accommodating. Rosie has a hard time getting used to men and Paul is very patient and sweet with her. I can tell it’s a good day when she comes home exhausted from playing! thank you both very much!”

Kaci M.

“Jeanne and Rita have provided excellent care for my senior dog. Even after almost a year of daycare, they still send me photos of little Gianni snoozing in a sunbeam, happy as a clam!”

About: Hi! I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have extensive hands-on experience caring for them. Over the years, I’ve cared for multiple dogs through pet sitting, including looking after my mother’s 14-year-old senior dog for two weeks while she was traveling. These experiences have given me strong confidence in handling dogs of different ages, temperaments, and care needs. I currently accept only one dog at a time so I can provide my full attention and ensure a calm, safe, and comfortable environment. I understand that every dog has unique routines and preferences, and I carefully follow each owner’s detailed instructions to make sure their pet feels secure and well cared for. I treat every dog as if they were my own, focusing on attentive, patient, and loving care. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both you and your dog. During the holiday season, I’ll have a flexible schedule and plenty of time at home. My family enjoys spending quiet days together, so pet care easily fits into our routine. We’ll make sure each pet gets regular walks, playtime, and affection throughout the day. Boarding at my home: My family will spend most of our time at home, so your pet will enjoy calm company in a quiet and cozy environment. We provide clean spaces, regular outdoor breaks, and lots of affection to help them feel like part of the family.

“Very flexible, great communication, and friendly! My pup had a great time and I felt confident that he was in good hands. Would definitely book again!”

“Ivy loves going to Krista and the boys! She gets super excited every time and comes home all tuckered out. Krista is great at communicating and asking questions when needed.”

About: I have taken care of many dogs and cats over the years. I have had 5 dogs and 6 cats myself in my lifetime. I regularly take care of a 14 year old dachshund. I have been caring for him for over 8 years now. He comes to my place and stays up to a couple of weeks several times a year. My dog and cat both get along with others very well. Deru is the little guys name. He is a diabetic. I have many years of experience giving him his insulin shots and special food needs. I feel I can handle most any pets needs with little or no problems. I have many many references I can share with whoever would like them? I love rescuing dogs and cats. I love trying to help place them in loving homes. I also know many vets in town that would also give me great references as well. I can't think of anything I would rather do with my life than taking care of dogs, and cats!! I have a dog and a cat myself. My dog is a high energy dog so she gets dog park time every day as well as walks around her neighborhood almost daily. I only have a partially fenced yard. However I will not let a clients dog of a leash unless we are at an off leash dog park.

“Our pup clearly loved it there and came home tired and content”

“Lydia has been so flexible with pick-up/drop off times and is willing to watch our dog on short notice. Mac absolutely loves her and I know he’s so well taken care of when he stays with her. Most times he doesn’t want to leave! We will use Lydia for as long as she’ll have him! ❤️”

“Lindsey was great with communication and sent photos. She was patient as Hogan was a bit nervous but super thankful she is comfortable with larger dogs. Would use her again for sure!”
