Dog Boarding in Ellendale, MN

“Kassandra was absolutely amazing with my high energy yellow lab! She gave her lots of love and exercise and gave me updates at least daily. We will definitely be bringing Rosie back!”

“Our senior spaniel did great spending a long weekend at Holly's house. It was the first time was have done in-house boarding. We definitely prefer having our pup stay with Holly then in a traditional kennel.”

“Absolutely could not be happier or more grateful for Margarita and her family. The whole process was super easy and after the meet and greet I left feeling 100% confident that bubba would be in great hands. Then traveling back home from Sioux Falls, we get hammered by blizzard conditions. The last 20 miles before finally giving up, I could barely see the lines on the road, let alone any cars in front of me. So we pulled off and checked in to a hotel. Thankfully Margarita was SUPER understanding and reassuring. I was in a bit of a panic worrying about this and that, and the fact that Loki didn't have to be one of those worries was a huge relief. When we finally made it back the next day I could tell he wasn't super thrilled about leaving, which is always what you want to see. (And with that massive yard, I can't blame him!) Will definitely be "boarding" with her and her family again in the future! Super communicative with updates and photos to put our minds at ease.”

About: I’ve been a dog mama for many years and love spending time walking and playing. I grew up on a farm so am extremely comfortable with all animals but my real love is dogs. I’m recently retired and am available and excited to help care for your fur-baby. My schedule is very flexible and our home is set up to provide a fun, safe environment for your dog. I’m happy to do drop-ins to feed, potty, go walking, play or all of that! Let me know about your pets routines and preferences so I can make sure they’re safe and comfortable.

About: I have a 11 month old puppy that I have started training and taking care of since 8 weeks old. I also talk him on regular walks, and bathe him. My oldest dog is almost 3 and I have also have had him since he was 8 weeks old. I have watched and walked other dogs for friends and family overnight and for extended periods. I could pet care in the summer almost every day, since I am a teacher. Some things may come up, but I have a pretty flexible schedule. I would prefer to care for pets in my home during the day to make the pet more comfortable. I am able to play with, feed, bathe, walk, etc. I have a fenced in backyard! I would love if you are ok with my 11 month aussiedoodle came with on walks or house sitting.

“Dondee is wonderful! She’s so friendly and welcoming and wants the best for you and your pet. She was sending me pictures and videos throughout my girls stay and I loved it. Definitely will be using her services again :)”

About: I've been dog sitting on and off since my 20's. Most were co-workers and family. I walked, bathed, brushed and given medicine, both orally and topical as required. I'm currently retired and can dog sit 7 days a week with advance notice. I can also day board as early as 7am and pick up as late as 6pm. If different hours are needed I can be flexible. I have a very large home where your dog can roam freely inside. However, I don't have a fenced in yard. I do have a secure tie line attached to my home. Your dog will never be left outside by themselves as I will be there with them.

“The dogs were so happy with amber, she took really good care of them and even taught me things about my dog. Will definitely go back to her in the future.”

About: I've intermittently assisted my sister at her pet grooming business over the past 10+years. This time is also when I started watching dogs for some of her clients and I then found clients of my own through word of mouth. I've stayed in people's homes with their pets, I've had pets stay at my home. I have experience with puppies to senior dogs, kittens to senior cats. I have experience with toy breeds to Giant breeds. Domestic felines to hybrid. I grew up on a farm and have been around animals my entire life livestock, wildlife and pets, I have a deep love and respect for them. I've always had a pet dog/cat or both.. currently both. My schedule is currently very open daily, weekly, weekends very flexible. I intend to prioritize pet care in hopes of building a good business base for the near future. Pets in my care get all the love and attention. Vet name and number, emergency contact, medications list needed... I have out door tie outs, a zip line tie out, out door kennel, 2 indoor kennels, I'll let your pet sleep in my bed if it's sad. I want the pets to always be as comfortable and stress free as possible, so whatever that looks like for them is what I'll provide.

“Awesome river sitter! Has everything a wild, energetic dog (like ours) needed! Highly recommend! Will be coming back in the future when needed!”

About: With two dogs of my own, I’ve had the experience of raising and taking care of dogs of all ages! Over three years of experience. I am a teacher. During the school year, I am available Friday through Sunday nights, but during the summer I am available 7 days a week! I live in a safe and friendly neighborhood with two high energy Labs to play with your dog! Great area for walks and playing outside.

“Mariea was an amazing find when we were looking for someone to take care of our dog Maisy while we took our kiddos for a weekend away over MEA break, she even accommodated very last minute! We never worried a minute while we were away, as upon arrival, our pup seemed so comfortable with them and loved playing with their two pups in the biggest fenced in back yard I've ever seen!! Lucky pup, I think she had more fun than us on her weekend away! Mariea kept us informed several times a day about how Maisy was doing, and they treated her as one of their family members. We highly recommend Mariea and Kelley!”

About: I live it the country between Hayfield and Kasson and love pets. We have a friendly cat named Pickles who spends most of his time lounging in a sunny spot. Our teenage kids are busy with school, spots and jobs. When they are around- They love pets and do some pet sitting of their own. We lost our 17 year old dog, Dudley last year and I’m missing a furry companion during the day. I’d love to meet your Pet family and spend time with them! I’m home most days and pretty flexible. Ideally I’d like to provide regular doggie daycare for the same family as needed. But for now hoping to find a few furry friends to share my work days with. I will care for your dog in my home, while I am working. I have a very flexible schedule so am very available to let them out and give the attention. I often work while sitting on the couch with my computer on my lap. Your pal can sit right next to me.
