Doggy Day Care East Calhoun

“Howie took great care of Sully. When I initially dropped him off he took the time to ask questions and get to know my dog. Sully came home pooped out from walking and playing all day. We will be booking again!”

“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.”

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.

“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!!”

“So grateful Shmueli has y’all to hang out with throughout my varying work schedule!!! He’s so happy hanging out with you!”

Michaela B.

“Kira and Alejandro are wonderful with my dog Atlas! They spent lots of time outside with him today and he had a blast playing with another dog. I know he’s in really good hands every time I leave him with them! He comes back home much better adjusted than when I drop him at the noisy dog daycare place which can often overstimulate him.”

Teresa M.

“McKenzie was very responsive and flexible! My puppy had a lot of fun and was very tired by the time we got home. Would recommend her 10/10 :)”

Madison K.

“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!”

Sara L.

“Carolina did a great job watching Basil for the day! Her dog was very friendly and they got along well.”

About: My beloved rescue pup has just turned sweet 16 in January 2026, and we have been together for a decade. Prior experience includes dog sitting for 9 years for doodles and various breeds. My dog loves relaxing days with new friends. Pet care is my daily routine because my dog is the most important part of my life. I am available every day because I work and play from home. I live on the first floor of a dog friendly apartment with a secure balcony equipped for quick potty breaks with a view. We are located next to a greenway for fun walking adventures. Since I am a homebody, I am always here to make sure your dog is safe, having a great day with new friends, and getting lots of cuddles.

“Rachel did a great job of watching my pup for the day and providing me updates! She was flexible with the pick up time and let me know about how the day went. I would definitely recommend her!”

Mara T.

“Everything with Lisa worked out great! She was flexible with drop off and pick up timing. My dog had lots of outdoor time in the fenced in backyard to run and play with Lumi and Lisa. We also received updates, photos, videos throughout the day.”

J D.

“I really appreciated Bailey and Connor’s care with dog sitting, we did a meet and greet to make sure our dogs clicked before the booking and I got lots of photos and updates during my pup’s stay. Thank you!”

About: I have taken care of many dogs and cats over the years. I have had 5 dogs and 6 cats myself in my lifetime. I regularly take care of a 14 year old dachshund. I have been caring for him for over 8 years now. He comes to my place and stays up to a couple of weeks several times a year. My dog and cat both get along with others very well. Deru is the little guys name. He is a diabetic. I have many years of experience giving him his insulin shots and special food needs. I feel I can handle most any pets needs with little or no problems. I have many many references I can share with whoever would like them? I love rescuing dogs and cats. I love trying to help place them in loving homes. I also know many vets in town that would also give me great references as well. I can't think of anything I would rather do with my life than taking care of dogs, and cats!! I have a dog and a cat myself. My dog is a high energy dog so she gets dog park time every day as well as walks around her neighborhood almost daily. I only have a partially fenced yard. However I will not let a clients dog of a leash unless we are at an off leash dog park.
