Doggy Day Care in Brainerd

“Ruby was great with my 4 month old puppy for doggy daycare! She sent lots of pictures, was very flexible with drop off/pick up times, and was very communicative.”

About: Hello! My name is Liz and I am a lover of animals of all kinds. They are the joy of my life. I have cared for pups since I was young. In my adult life, I adopted the most beautiful little pomeranian, my Remy. He was a senior dog when I adopted him and came with many special needs. I have experience with giving multiple medications, cooking speciality meals, and hand feeding 4 times/day. My little guy even had to be held and burped like a little baby! I am deeply caring, gentle, and warm with all animals. I love taking them on long walks, playing puzzle games and fetch, bringing them on stroller rides, swimming at the lake, and going for car ride adventures. I work very hard to keep my little fur babies engaged, joyfilled, and calm. After losing my little boy Remy in July, I would really appreciate being able to carry that love over to your own special furry, feathered, or scaly family member. It would be a joy for me to help care for your loved one. I am currently the most available that a person could be. Caring for your special family members is my job, and my passion. You name the day and time, I will make it happen. I have a wonderful little home in town with a large yard. I do not have a fenced in yard, however, I live right near miles of walking trails. My home is clean, calm, and welcoming, with lots of sunbathed, cozy places to nap. If you would like me to visit your loved one in your home, I will always be diligent about following house rules. I am respectful, courteous, and conscientious.

“Absolutely the best person to take care of my dog when I have to be away! So accommodating and kind!!! 100% recommended him to watch your fur baby! Bonus you get to see lots of cool animals!!!”

About: I've always had a connection to animals since childhood. My family had a small hobby farm growing up and I would spend my free time reading out by the chickens, batting a softball for my lab-spaniel mix to fetch or laying in the grass with my guinnea pig and rabbit. I volunteered with Adopt-A-Pet animal rescue for eight years in many capacities including foster mom. Besides pet sitting, I've also worked in the Petsmart grooming salon and have a grooming certification. I've worked as an animal caretaker on several organic farms and have the skills necessary to petsit animals considered farm animals. I have a calm demeanor about me which animals sense and quickly feel comfortable around me. I also have the patience it takes to work well with animals. I value good communication, honesty, diligence, punctuality and quality care.

“My pup had the absolute best day with Ivan! I appreciated the updates on how he was doing throughout the day. Will definitely use again!”

“Upon meeting Kay, I knew my dogs were in great hands. She considerately kept her dog in a separate room until my dogs got acclimated to her place. Her home is clean, spacious, inviting and dog-friendly! I enjoyed receiving pictures of my pups enjoying her beautiful fenced-in quiet, private backyard. And because it was our first visit and I didn’t want to stress my fur babies with an overnight, Kay graciously worked with an early/late pickup. We look forward to booking with her again!”

“Highly recommend Jennifer for your furry pets! We have a four month old lab and I wasn’t comfortable leaving him at a kennel. Staying with Jennifer was like him staying at home with comfortable surroundings and more personal care being taken care of in her home. Will definitely use her again!”

About: My family and I love pets! We would love to have your dog stay with us and enjoy all the comforts of home! We have children who are sure to give your pet loads of extra attention. I am a (mostly) stay-at-home mom! This means your pet will have near constant companionship while in our care. They will be loved, cared for, and treated as a member of the family. We have a fenced in yard and go for a lot of walks! Your pet will be hanging out with a family, not left alone in a kennel.

About: I have grown up with pets most of my life and will love on your fur babies as I loved mine. Puppies to Seniors will be extra spoiled in my care. I am available daily, M-F and some weekends. My schedule can be very flexible. Whether you want me to visit your pet at home for some love or take them out to play and walk, I can help. We currently do not have any pets as we recently lost our 12yr old, Bri. But our fur babes were spoiled. I will respect your rules for your own pet.

“Buddy really enjoyed his time at Diane's-- She did an excellent job with him across the 4 days. She was communicative, sent photos and flexible with drop-off and pickup times. A perfect option for a few dog free days while visiting the Crosslake area. Will definitely reach out to her again!”

“Amy was an amazing host to our 2 y/o dog Gracie. She made sure Gracie felt comfortable before introducing her to her own dogs, kept us informed, and gave a full report upon return. Amy clearly has tons of experience with dogs and we learned some helpful puppy raising tips from her, too! Gracie will return to Amy’s for her second visit tonight, and we feel completely confident she’s in excellent hands with Amy.”

About: I've had a dog since I was five. We got her from a cabin up North who was not a breeder. From the moment we got her to the moment she passed, she was my puppy. I taught her all the tricks she knew, I walked her, I did everything with her. She was 15 years old when she passed two falls ago. My family now just got a puppy during Covid. Again, when I am living at home (not at school), she's my dog. My fiancé and I moved to Pequot Lakes in April 2023. We now have a Springer Spaniel puppy named Maverick, who will be 2 in April. I work in Crosby, but I am out the door early in the morning and typically back by 3:30 pm. I could do a really early morning visit, but the afternoon/evenings would fit my schedule better during the week. Otherwise, I work from home on Fridays and the weekends my schedule is more open. When I go for walks, I ALWAYS make sure I have poop bags with me as I hate when people don't pick up after their dogs. I'm not afraid to pick up after dogs!

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 4. I’ve had dogs, cats, and other small creatures. I do well with grooming, bathing, walks, and car rides. I’m currently doing online college. So I’m home all day! I have a fenced in yard for your fur babies. Hope to hear from you soon! I have a fenced in yard, leashes, to keep your fur baby safe. Plenty of access to walk and shade, and beds! Big or small

About: Animals have always been apart of my life growing up my parents bred English mastiff and pugs. I showed dogs in 4-H for 4 years and it really helped me amass so much knowledge. I have extensive experience with senior dogs and they hold a very special place in my heart. With us your senior will be in the best of hands. I don’t have a regular 9-5 so most of my day is spent home with the pups. I have my dogs on a specific feeding/potty schedule but I am very flexible to make your pup feel as comfortable as possible. I like to think I treat them as one of my one while keeping in mind if the owner has and rules or requests of their own.

“Jeannette and Zachary took great care of our little puppy! So thankful for such a loving dog sitter!”
