Doggy Day Care East Bank-Nicollet Island

“Hopps has enjoyed his days with Kara and the family. He looks forward to playing in the yard with Oscar, walks with the kiddos and having someone to follow around all day. Kara is so great at documenting the day with pictures and reporting on his activities. I know he’s in good hands 😊”

“Kira was amazing with my newly adopted dog. I didn't want him to be alone during a few medical appointments I had, so he stayed with her a few times. He came home so exhausted and happy and I was able to feel very comfortable and not worry about him being alone at his brand new home. I will definitely rebook with her again. Thanks Kira!”

“Lizzy & her husband took GiGi for a fun hour long walk in the snow. They gave her a lot of attention and cuddles. They will be great caregivers for your pet.”

“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!”

Justine L.

“Alyson is wonderful! Our pup stayed with her while we were visiting town and I'm so so glad we found her. Alyson was super responsive and easy to communicate with and really flexible. Plus my pup was zonked out after we picked him up, so he must have played a lot and had a great time.”

“Rachel and her team were so incredibly kind and amazing with my pup!! She is literally wiggling in euphoria from her fun day at doggy daycare :)”

“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.”

“Mariam took great care of my dog, Georgia! She is communicative and Georgia was very happy and confortable.”

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.

“Karen and Ryan were fantastic caregivers for our senior dog, Kurt. Great communication before and during the visit. Beautiful home with a wonderful fenced yard. Super flexible with drop off and pick up times. Very friendly and professional. Kurt loved his three days with them. I highly recommend Karen and Ryan for your pet-sitting needs in Minneapolis.”

About: My family had 3 dogs growing up so I am very experienced with walking, interacting with and loving animals! I would love to watch your dog for the weekend, a few week days or whenever needed! I currently work from home 4 days out of the week so I would be able to stay home and take the dog outside or for a quick walk easily. I live with my fiancé who also works from home frequently and helps me out with the dog if needed. Weekends get booked up quick but we’d love some company to go for a walk, go to the dog park, or hang out if we are free! I live in an apartment but live right across the street from a large popular park that I walk around regularly. The park is very popular with pet owners as well.

“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!!”

“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.”

About: I feel that cats and dogs naturally tend to be close to me, which might be related to my personality. When I was helping my friend take care of a dachshund, I was told that he didn't like to interact with male beings. But on the second day of taking care of the dachshund, he would often circle around me and want to play with me with toys. I work in healthcare industry so basically I work remotely almost every day Therefore, I have the flexibility to play with the pets! Also, I live alone so they can be around me all the time, they will not be feeling left out! Regular feeding and freshwater is essential! I will also spend an amount of time every day to play with dogs! at last, I will provide a clean and pet friendly environment for them!

“Dillon provides exceptional care and attention to my Roman. You can tell Dillon is a natural at this and is very good at what he does because Roman is always really happy to spend time with Dillon!”

Mark M.

“She was absolutely amazing! I'm a rover sitter myself and have been for years and even though she is newer to the game she's doing absolutely everything right! My dog is very sleepy and happy, I will absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her”

About: I have grown up my whole life around animals and I love them very much. I have cared for animals of all ages and in many different kinds of situations. I can look after kittens or puppies, seniors, pets with unique personalities, and large dogs. I accept all breeds and can handle larger dogs due to my height. I can adapt to whatever your pet situation might be! I am currently unemployed and have all day and night to watch and care for a pet. I can walk dogs frequently, attend to any cleaning needs, give them attention or anything else they might need. I have a one bedroom apartment with open space in the living room and hiding spaces for a more timid pet. These areas can be blocked for safety reasons if needed. There are several parks and fields around my home for good walking and play. Accommodations can be made depending on the needs the animal has. I will be home with the pet to keep them company and ensure their safety. I have hardwood floors. My apartment is non smoking.

“Lucy, our 1yo lab/shepherd mix loved staying with Lydia! Lydia sent photos and updates, so we felt like we knew how things were going. We appreciate that she was well cared for while we were unavailable.”
