Doggy Day Care in Bancroft, Minneapolis

“Our pup Sansa was in good hands! She was a happy and tired pup when we picked her up. I appreciated the photo updates and the communication. Will book again!”

“We booked day boarding with Lydia to accommodate holiday visits with family in the Twin Cities at Christmas. Illness changed our plans but we did use Lydia for fewer days and found her responsive, happy to work with our sweet, shy beagle, and her house and yard were perfect.”

“If you want your family member loved and secure, you must select Howie. Tootie loved him! That is so important to me when I travel with my dog.”

“Absolutely incredible experience. Celia was easy to communicate with and sent me pics of my pup throughout the day. I would love to book again - highly recommmend”

“My first time using a rover sitter for my 7 month old golden retriever - my literal fur baby and it was a great experience!! They cared so well for Dolly girl and I will definitely be using them again in the future. The check-in’s and photos were so helpful in making me comfortable leaving her all day.”

“Herman LOVES hanging out at Samantha's! So wonderful to have a place where he feels comfortable and gets as much love and care as he does at home!”

“Jackson was flexible and accommodating with our plans and Marley’s needs.”

About: Adventurous and active millennial who enjoys going for runs or cuddling up to a good movie! I love hanging out with my three dogs, Lola (7 year old female Golden Retriever, 50 lbs), Levi (5 year old male Golden Retriever, 50 lbs) who currently live with me and Marvin (11 year old male Border Collie Blue Heeler, 45 lbs) who currently lives with my parents but visits often. We spend most of our free time outside in our yard and at the nearby lakes and trails. We do love to relax at home as well and binge our favorite series! Looking forward to meeting you and your furry best friend! Skills: Cared for dogs for 10+ years (2 of my own) Worked as a Kennel Assistant - very familiar with dog behavior and training I am currently transitioning to hybrid work and will be at my home full-time during the week along with available weekends. Most of my professional career prior to this has been caring for many different animal species! I have a decent sized fenced in yard with multiple dogs to hang with your pup. Every dog gets a "safe space" set up where they can eat, sleep and relax. Each area is in its own room equipped with blankets and food and water bowls. I also have a dog camera that I like to set up if I need to leave your pooch for a few hours. I try my best to never leave your pup for more than a few hours. We are also walking minutes away from a lake where we can enjoy afternoon strolls and swims as well! I am conveniently located less than 10 minutes from the MSP Airport for anyone hopping on a flight! There is plenty of street parking if clients would like to leave their vehicle when they drop off their pet and uber/lyft to the airport from here..ride shares usually range from $10-$40 from this location depending on time of day etc… I do offer rides when ride share is unavailable :)

“Irving is the best! Nothing better than coming home after a long weekend to a clean house and tired puppies. Irving has been my dogsitter for the last 2 years and he has been nothing but amazing. I have 2 crazy puppies and they both love him AND Paco! I can't thank you enough for all you have done!”

“Kim was so wonderful with our puppy! She was great at communicating and sent lots of great photos!”

“Short version: Tammy and her basset hounds are excellent hosts. I would return my two dogs to her care anytime and also recommend the same to others. Long version: My dogs Jack and Oliver stayed with Tammy and her two basset hounds Charlie and Phoebe. I am from Oregon and I communicated with Tammy using dogvacay. Everything was setup in Minneapolis before I left Oregon. When I arrived at her house Tammy greeted us in the yard and the dogs got to meet/greet in a great way. After a little while to see how they did, I left them for about six hours. The four played and socialized all day and were having a fabulous time when I came to pick them up. Pawsome!”

“Christine took care of my corgi for a day when I requested at the last minute. My corgi came back home happy and tired after playing with Bear. I really appreciated the communication and kindness Christine displayed with me and my pup. Mooney is a fiesty dog and I am really grateful for Christine’s patience. She even sent me home with soup because I was feeling ill. 100% would book again”

“Nicole is absolutely amazing! My little guy is almost 15 weeks and loves to be outside. I greatly appreciated her taking him out for walks, making sure he was happy, taking him out for a multitude of potty breaks (sometimes 2 times in an hour if needed) and keeping me updated throughout the day. I highly recommend Nicole, especially if you want your dog to be well cared for!!”

“Dan showers Bella with attention and care. He got to know her needs and quirks as an older dog and made me feel very comfortable leaving Bella in Dan's capable hands. I appreciated his communication and for checking in with me about how she was doing. I will plan to hire Dan whenever I need care for my pets!”

“Fantastic! Courtney takes such good care of our shy pup, who is coming out of his shell daily thanks to her care. And Kramer too. We are so lucky to have found them.”

“Connor and autumn did great! I have a puppy border collie who is a bit of a wild child and they did phenomenally tiring her out. I felt very safe with her in their care! As a plus, she was tired when she got home!”

“Chris is an attentive, experienced, and knowledgeable dog person. He was loving, as well as held firm boundaries with our reactive, high energy dog. Chris is a fantastic choice for your next sitter. I know he will make sure your pet is truly cared for and you can vacation (etc) with ease.”

“Stacy was fantastic! She took Benji on our moving day and took so much stress off our plates. She coordinated a meet and greet to help alleviate any anxiety between our dog and hers, and was incredible flexible throughout.”

About: We have a large, fully fenced in back yard. Live close to the park. Take 2-3 walks per day. 2 kids age 9 and 12 and a Mini Berna-Doodle age 1 year who would love a playmate. I love taking walks, which works out nicely for my dog and yours. I work mostly from home and within walking distance to my office, allowing me to check in and snuggle my pup throughout the day. I have a large fenced in yard and take 2-3 walks per day. My 1 year old pup would love a playmate. I do require that your pup be crate trained as they would spend 1-2 hours in their crate for "nap time" each day and for overnight sleeping as well.

“Phoebe had a great time staying with Nadine and Paul. You could tell she was having a blast from the photos they sent. Will absolutely use them again in the future!”
