Doggy Day Care East Calhoun

“Howie was absolutely AMAZING! I had a last minute trip and it was my first time in about 10 years using rover and he made it extremely easy and worked with me on changing times and worked with my roommate as well, much appreciated! Howie treated my dog so good and even from the initial meeting they bonded very quickly! Thank you so much Howie, me and Grampaw will be using your services in the future :)”

“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.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for most of my life and understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and as a proud dog owner myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have experience with daily walks, feeding, playtime, administering basic medications when instructed, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. As a Biology student, I have a strong interest in animal health and behavior, which helps me pay close attention to pets’ well-being and notice changes that may need attention. I believe in treating every pet as if they were my own, providing plenty of affection, patience, exercise, and enrichment. Whether your pet is energetic and loves adventures or prefers a calm and relaxing routine, I’ll make sure they receive personalized care and lots of love. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in safe, loving hands. My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs throughout the week. I currently work on a freelance project with self-managed hours, so I’m able to adjust my schedule to provide walks, drop-in visits, or daycare. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so I can provide care that’s as consistent as possible with what they’re used to. I understand that every pet is unique, so I’m happy to accommodate special routines, medications, dietary needs, or other instructions to ensure they receive the best possible care. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable, safe, and at ease from the moment we meet.

“Great experience having Robert watch my pup - highly recommended, especially for a high-energy dog. Will definitely be coming to him in the future when I need someone to take care of her while I'm in Minneapolis.”

“Cleo had a great time with Timmothy!! I loved his updates through the day and he asked many questions beforehand to make sure he understood how to care for her :)”

“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.

“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”

“Jessie cared for our Bernese Mountain Dog for a day of dog daycare. She responded quickly to my Initial request. We had a nice meet and greet where Jessie asked a lot of good question trying to make sure that she understood the needs of our dog. The drop off and pick up were smooth. We also received a super summary of Koda's day and photos. Top notch service. My family would highly recommend booking your dog with Jessie.”

Cathy V.

“Marisa did a great job handling three-month-old Basie’s first time away from his home and family. She even took the time to do a meet-and-greet between her dog and Basie ahead of time to make sure they would get along together. She also made sure that Basie had fun and got to do some safe exploring and socializing. I would definitely feel comfortable having her look after Basie in the future.”

“Jody takes amazing care of my pup. She is very diligent and caring, and has gone above and beyond for Roma when she has been sick. I trust Jody and continue to bring my dog for regular pet sitting. Jody is great.”

Maraika R.

“Our dog, Khota, has gotten really attached to Kira but we're not surprised because she's great with him, knowledgeable and very dedicated to her work. We have the utmost confidence in leaving our little, four legged family member with her and will continue to have her watch Khota for the foreseeable future.”

About: As a dedicated pet lover and experienced caregiver, I bring a wealth of knowledge to every pet I care for. I’m the proud owner of a one-year-old Mini Bernedoodle, whom I have personally potty trained and worked with on various training techniques. This hands-on experience has deepened my understanding of dog behavior, patience, and the importance of consistent training. Beyond caring for my own dog, I have extensive experience with pet sitting, particularly with cats and dogs that require special attention. I have provided care for sick and injured cats, ensuring they receive the gentle, attentive care they need to recover comfortably. Additionally, I have experience dog-sitting for various breeds, catering to their unique needs and ensuring their well-being while their owners are away. Whether it’s a playful pup who needs regular walks or a senior cat requiring medication, I approach each pet with the same level of care and compassion as I do with my own. My goal is to provide peace of mind to pet owners, knowing their furry family members are in capable and loving hands. I look forward to meeting and caring for your beloved pets! Pet sitting fits seamlessly into my work-from-home routine. With a flexible schedule, I can easily manage walks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day, alongside caring for my own dog. I’m also open to overnight stays, ensuring your pets receive consistent, attentive care while you're away. In both my home and my clients' homes, I prioritize pets' safety and comfort by maintaining a clean, secure environment. I follow each pet's routine to reduce stress, provide consistent attention, and ensure their well-being. Building trust through patience and understanding, I create a caring, familiar atmosphere for every pet.

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.

“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.

“Karen and Ryan have been the best sitters for my puppy. He’s always so happy to go to their house. They’ve been feeding him and helping with a medical need during the day and are flexible when I’m running late from work. Would recommend them to friends and family!”

Allison G.

“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!!”

About: I’ve had a pet in my life since I can remember. Mostly dogs but I had a cat once, and a hamster:) it feels like all of my friends have pets and I’ve become the resident community babysitter for all of them. I had to say goodbye to my boy last October and it’s been tough without him but I find that pet sitting is a way for me to connect to that kind of love. I work from home and don’t go out often so I would be with your pet(s) the majority of time. I live in a great dog walking neighborhood with a lake close for those good nature walks. I’m 100% hands on. I love to play with them if they’re into that but I also have a good outlook on discipline and what I mean by that is I won’t let them run amuck and I won’t help them create any bad habits. I love walkies and also love chilling and cuddling.

“As always, my dog had an amazing time with Kara and Adam! They are so sweet and she always is exhausted when she gets back to me. Her kids are so kind to Jovi and I always look forward to seeing all the pictures Kara and Adam take! Thanks 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.”

“Izsabella was a wonderful host for my pup. She and her respectful dog Willy made Ted feel included and cozy. Izsabella was very communicative, transparent and friendly. I felt at ease leaving my dog with her and will do this again soon.”
