Doggy Day Care in Burnsville

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’ve also rescued dogs and helped care for friends’ pups, so I understand how important it is to know your dog is safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m a very active person and love taking dogs on long walks and making sure they get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and all the good smells along the way. I work from home, which gives me flexibility and availability throughout the day, and I truly enjoy having dogs in my home and making them feel comfortable. I’m professional, responsible, loving, and attentive, and I take pet care seriously. I recently lost my own dog, and caring for other people’s dogs feels like a meaningful way to share that love and fill that space in my heart. I’m excited for the opportunity to help give pet parents peace of mind so they can enjoy their time away, knowing their pups are happy, healthy, and in good hands. I work from home, so pet care fits naturally into my day. I’m able to give dogs attention throughout the day and easily carve out time for walks, potty breaks, play, and check-ins—morning, midday, and evening. I also make activity a priority, so getting pups out for fresh air (and plenty of sniff time!) is always part of the routine. Most importantly, I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual schedule and preferences so they have a consistent experience that feels familiar—mealtimes, walk frequency, crate/free-roam routines, medications, and any special instructions. My goal is for your dog to feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours, my top priority is always making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and consistent. I focus on creating a calm, caring environment with plenty of attention, activity, and affection, while also keeping safety and well-being front and center at all times. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I also make communication a priority. I provide frequent updates, photos, and check-ins so you can feel confident, relaxed, and stress-free while you’re away. My goal is simple: happy dogs and peace of mind for their people.

“My 6 month puppy was way happier when we picked him up after his daycare with Atheyana, the next day after that he spent all day sleeping which means he was playing a lot under her care. I will definitely rebook with her soon. 😊”

“This is the second time our dog has gone to Amanda, and it has been a positive experience both times. She does some nice long walks and our boy loves that! He comes home good and tired! She’s a very nice person who seems to care for our pup the way she would care for her own. Definitely recommend and will be back again!”

“Aish and family are amazingly friendly people who really care about what they do and truly love dogs! I immediately got pictures and videos of them and they were so happy! We will definitely use them again!!!! 🐾💕🐶🫶🏻🐾”

“Steve and Diane watched Harvest for the first time recently. He had a blast and will definitely be contacting them for additional days. Thanks for taking such good care of my boy!”

“I am new to the area, and Chelsie was very close by. She responded promptly and communicated clearly. I brought Riley over, and Chelsie kindly met me at the car. I was having some difficulty with the long lead, and Riley immediately went up to her as if they had known each other for a long time. When Riley heard the dogs barking inside the house, she led Chelsie to the door, which was quite charming. I realized I forgot to mention something to Chelsie, but she responded right away. On my way back to pick up Riley, I got caught in traffic, so Chelsie graciously brought Riley out to me, and Riley happily got into the car without any issues. After we returned home, I noticed that Riley's card was filled out, and there was a detailed note, along with photos of Riley's day, showing that she had gone for a walk and played with her dogs. Overall, I would rate the experience as excellent, and Riley will definitely be visiting again.”

“I can't speak highly enough about how well Sheryl cared for my dog during a weeklong stay. She kept me updated on how Kira was settling into a full schedule of walks and treats. Sheryl's love of animals is obvious and taking good care of Kira felt more like a priority than a pasttime for her. I will definitely seek out her services in the future.”

“Great place to bring your dog!”

“River was amazing! Very responsive and flexible. She kept us updated with videos. Also she literally saved us when we contacted her last minute. I could tell my furbaby was happy and I loved to see him running around in the fenced yard. Thank you, River!”

“Julia responded quickly, was available to watch our pug Franny on short notice, and is very friendly. Franny immediately liked Julia upon meeting her, and Julia made us feel comfortable that Franny would be well taken care of. Would highly recommend her!”

About: I have loved owning and training dogs my whole life, but unfortunately have one child allergic. I can't wait to meet your amazing pup of any size, and get them the needed exercise, and training if needed. I have a full-time job in hockey, which affords me a lot of free time in the spring and summer months, especially during the day. I will provide whatever is needed, whether it's a short or long walk. I'm also a runner, and happy to jog with them. I pride myself on being able to work with any kind of dog and training them to be easy and reliable on a leash.

About: I work from home full time and have the capability and desire to have a cuddly fur baby around, snuggles, walks and lots of love a must. I like watching 1 dog at a time but if they are from the same family, please feel free to reach out if there are 2. I am able to be flexible. Since I work from home full time I am available to watch your fur baby during the day, night, boarding and on weekends if needed I would take them on walks when I could during the day, snuggles, some play time and rest when needed. Plenty of food and water, no fenced in back yard.

“I love working with Abby, she’s very accommodating! My dog always seems happy and calm when we pick him up. Very happy to keep working with Abby.”

“Wendy was so awesome with our dog Ghost. He was really nervous at first when we were dropping him off but by the time we left him and got to our next destination, I already had a video and an update that he was fitting in just fine. All of my worries were gone at that point. We would definitely rebook with Wendy again!”

Crystal M.

“I truly cannot say enough good things about Sarah and her wonderful family. From the moment i dropped him off, I could tell he felt safe and comfortable with them, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to have them watch my dog again- he will definitely be back!”

“Carrie and Mark are so amazing with Ollie! He loves going to their house for daycare, in fact he didn’t want to leave tonight! They love having him and take such good care of our boy.”

Celia G.

“Kathy is an amazing dog sitter! From the start, she was so friendly and put us at ease. She took wonderful care of our dogs, and was happy to oblige anything we requested. We loved receiving updates and adorable photos throughout the day - our dogs looked like they were having the best time! Kathy’s attention to detail and genuine care made this a fantastic experience. We will definitely be asking her to watch our pups again. Highly recommend her!”

“I greatly appreciate Jen taking care of my dog for the day while we were out at the MN State Fair! She was conveniently located, took great pics and videos and it was a seamless pickup!”
