Dog Boarding in Elba, MN

“Toast had the BEST time with Itzayana! He stayed with her for 5 days while my husband & I went on vacation. She sent lots of updates and pictures which really put our minds at ease. She definitely went above and beyond to make sure Toast had a fun time (special treats, lots of toys/opportunities to play outside). We would recommend her to anyone! You can tell she really loves the dogs who stay with her & treats them like her own. We look forward to booking with her again soon!”

“I can't speak highly enough of Nichole. The frequent updates they provided on my dog kept me at ease throughout the entire stay. The flexibility with pick-up and drop-off times made my life so much easier. Additionally, their own dog was incredibly friendly and became fast friends with my pup. It's a comfort to know my dog is not only well-cared-for but also genuinely happy in their care. Highly recommend!”

Jackson L.

“Drew and his family took great care of Daisy! He kept me updated with daily texts and pictures of her while I was away. Drew is a very kind and accommodating person and I would 100% let him care for my Daisy again. Highly recommended.”

“Erica and Ciara did a great job taking care of my Cardigan Corgi for a couple days. He doesn't spend a lot of time around other dogs and recently was attacked while walking, so I was initially worried about how he would do with their dogs, but theirs are well trained and he fit into the pack quite easily, it seems. They understood his caution, given what he had been through, and they undertook appropriate precautions when exposing him to their dogs and others. In general, it seemed like a good experience for everyone and he made a couple more dog friends! I will definitely be a return (and repeat) customer.”

“My dog loves staying with Denielle and her family! They shower her with attention and she gets all the play time she needs, which is a lot, since she is a high-activity dog. Denielle's home is perfectly set up for dog boarding, and she has a safe, fenced yard. When it comes to dog boarding, I feel I won the lottery with Denielle!”

Paula L.

“Andrea was very friendly and you could tell she loves dogs! Our dog Charlie loved his stay and the price point was great! Andrea updated us with pictures and text messages everyday. Will definitely have Charlie stay with Andrea again!”

“Jessica is a true doggie mom! Our Blue was very happy and content playing with his new friends- Human and furry! We will use Rover and Jessica when needed. It was just what we wanted!”

Vickie S.

“My pup had a wonderful stay at Ben and Jennifer's! He had a great time playing with the other pups and kids. Loved swimming in their pup pool when it was so hot. I loved the updates I received with pictures and videos while I was away!!! Very highly recommend!! Very kind family. Thank you so much!”

“We left our border collie Maddie to stay with Erica during a 5 day trip. Erica was super nice and sent us daily updates with photos and videos, and we could tell Maddie had a ton of fun during her stay.”

Sean W.

“Krystal took great care of our dog and was very easy to communicate with and quick to respond. It was nice getting updates and our dog seemed to have a good time.”

Rebekah R.

“Our dogs have stayed with Lynne on several occasions. She is attentive to their special needs and keeps us updated on how they are doing so we can relax and enjoy our time away. Our pups seem to feel very comfortable in her care. :-)”

Anna M.

“Osito had a blast with Sheryl and her son. She has a big yard and my big dog loved it. She sent us videos of them playing outside which he loved. I wanted more vids and pics, but she stayed in touch enough that I didn’t ever worry. I will rebook for our next trip!”

Aime H.

“Jennifer was so great with Karl! Her home was very clean and welcoming. She made sure that Karl was comfortable and well taken care of the entire time he was there. Karl was taken on walks as well as brushed during his stay. Karl got along great with her dogs and I could tell he was a happy pup when I picked him up. I got plenty of updates and photos throughout the stay and I knew my dog was in great hands. Absolutely recommend!”

Teeney F.

“Kirsten was easy to communicate with and responded quickly before and during my dog’s stay with her. We would definitely board with Kirsten again!”

Michaela R.

“Jasmine was awesome! I got pictures and regular updates:) you can tell that jasmine cares about your pet, I wasn’t worried about Alfie at all well he was in her care!”

Maddie J.

“My Jazzy was reluctant to leave Linda and Bosley when I picked her up today. She loves her stays with them and I am able to relax when I’m away knowing that she is so happy with them.”

Erin K.

“What an awesome find on Rover. Requested daycare at the last minute and David was more than happy to accommodate. Originally requested daycare for ~4 hrs, but appointments at Mayo kept being added on. Thought we would be finished around 2 pm, but not finished at Mayo until ~4 pm...no problem with David and his wife. Our Piper is a small rescue mix-breed with some anxiety issues, but she did great with their boxers. Several pictures were sent throughout the day that definitely decreased my anxiety. We were even gifted special treats that were sent home with Piper. I highly recommend, and will definitely use again in the future with our appointments at Mayo.”

Paula C.

“Charity made our pup feel like he was right at home and part of the family. Communication was great. Will definitely be reaching out to her when we have another trip out of town.”

About: I have always been an avid animal-lover. From childhood into adulthood, I have owned and cared for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, small mammals, reptiles, birds & fish. My family & I currently share our home with two dogs, a bearded dragon, a Russian tortoise, & a ball python. I have several years of professional work experience in animal care (zoo, kennel care, walking, basic grooming) and wildlife / parks & recreation—both of which are relevant. I enjoy the outdoors and keeping all of our furry (& scaly) friends happy. I will board dogs, small mammals, reptiles & birds in my home! Upon request, I can do drop-in visits for cats or exotic animals within a 15 mile radius. I am currently a stay-at-home mom & so my schedule allows me to be at home majority of the time. If I need to leave the house, it’s never for more than a couple of hours. I have a large four-story home, which provides amble space for pets to play or to be separated if need be. I utilize crates for dogs who need or prefer it. Our yard is unfenced, so I use slip leads and tie-out cables for potty time.

About: Born and raised in Germany with beautiful cats of all shapes and sizes. My very first cat was my beloved Minki that was a proud 17 years and deaf in both ears! If that wasn't enough, she also only had three teeth and was rescued from the roads. She taught both my mother and I how to be responsible and how pets ARE family. After Minkis passing, my beloved Imy has entered our hearts. Imy was a strong headed almost human-like boy. He knew how to potty on the human toilet, went on walks with me and accompanied me to my school. He was very protactive of us and very clingy. We unfortunately lost him in 2014. Also his name choice might be surprising, but I was a little girl that thought that pretty kitty must be a girl! Well, the name stuck with us! In 2014 we adopted two pretty twin kittens Pixel and Gray. They are going strong at 11 years old, and live with my mother in Germany. After leaving my life behind in Germany to be with my husband, I was determined to be pet free, no hair, no bills - yay! Until we drove to an appointment on a super cold day and encountered a barely alive kitten - our now baby boy Basil. Basil is the light of our hearts and became a big brother as we adopted Toast just a little over a month ago! I have experience with both female and male cats, disabled, old and young. Both indoor and outdoor cats are familiar to me as I had lived with both at some point. Currently my cats are indoor with occasional cat-walks outside on the leash or when heading out with a cat stroller. My husband has experience with farm cats as he grew up on a farm in Wisconsin. I am a 911 dispatcher and my schedule varies. I work 12 hour shifts and my husband is currently in the process to become a trucker. He will not be over the road, and comes home after his shift. I have several days off due to me working a stretch, but my cats are truly taken care of. We rent a small 2 bedroom house with access to a front and backyard. We live next to neighbors that have a beautiful male ragdoll cat that likes to visit from time to time. I love to clean and am very adament about my cats hygiene as well. Their litter boxes are cleaned up to 4 times a day, they never live in filth, they receive hair care and groom care. Their nails are trimmed regularly, and they receive wet food including dental care. I am also very concious of their safety. Basil tends to be scared of strangers at first, but we own a kitty cam, the cats have plenty of room, with access to all rooms, except basement (as it is not directly accessible through the home). Have window benches, a cat tree, and are allowed to lay wherever they want. The only boundary we have is them being on the kitchen counter.
