Doggy Day Care Elliot Park

“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 😊”

About: Hi! I’m Noah and I have 15 years of experience with all sorts of dogs. I grew up with dogs of all sizes, from Great Danes to miniature dachshunds. My favorite part of being around dogs is playing with them, seeing their happy faces, and getting to experience nature with them. While I’ve never had a cat to call my own, I have played with and taken care of many cats over the years! I am currently a dog dad to a three-year old energetic dachshund and a German Shepherd mix puppy! I can’t wait to meet your pets! I work from home and am generally available after 4:30pm or before 7:30am, but I can be flexible! I live in an area with access to convenient walking trails and parks. Your pet’s safety, security, and health are my top priorities. I understand the trust you're placing in me to care for your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously.

“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 :)”

“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.”

“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!!”

“Lydia is extremely responsive and made things very easy for this first-time Rover user and her puppy. Puppy came home happy & tired but not exhausted or stressed out. Lots of updates & photos throughout the day. Great backyard space to run around.”

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.

“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”

“So, i was pretty nervous to leave my precious, sick, 4-month-old furbaby with an internet stranger. But we had good conversations beforehand and he had lots of good reviews. Well, the reviews are well deserved! Puppy had a fine time. Howie (and his wife) clearly took great care of her! Would definitely book again. I just need to figure my schedule out.”

Kristy K.

“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.

“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.”

About: I set the intention of pet care to being a friend to your pet and partner to you. I respect boundaries and priorities as needed. I currently work flexible hours throughout the week based off clientele. This would be an addition to my job as some days I have the entire day off or atleast half of it. Your pet always comes first. I take care of others pets like I’d expect a stranger to walk in and take care of mine. I want to leave with the intention that if I were to come back, your pet would open the door.

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.

“Mckenzie really saved my butt last minute for my foster pup that needed some daycare. Really appreciate her flexibility, affordability, and exceptional care of little Ruby. Would definitely book again:-)”

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits, lizards, parrots and fish. Growing up there was Nothing better than coming home and caring for my pets. Growing up I always wanted to work with animals and although life took me in another direction professionally, by taking care of the pets of friends and family, I was able to incorporate that desire into my daily life. As an experienced Pet sitter I will use my passion for animals to ensure your pet is well taken care of as well to ensure a fun time for your pet and me. I have had the opportunity as a teenager and through college to use my time to pet sit as a side hustle. And the way that I see it not only was a way to make some money but a great stress relief. During this time, I walked dogs, went to pet owners houses to feed them and have them over for a fun time. I currently work from home and I'm available 24/7 to care for your pet by having them over or by going to your place of preference. I'm open nights, weekends or holidays. And I accept same day or emergency requests. I live in a spacious loft apartment surrounded by plenty of green space for a walk on a leash and also a gated space for dogs to run. I offer being a dog walker at my place or at your place if you prefer. I'm also a fan of pictures if your furry friend likes and sending them over to the pet owner if desired.

About: I've always been a pet lover. Did pet sitting as a pre-teen and teenager. I had a soul cat for 15 years and a soul dog for 13 years. I have 2 grand-pups who I often dog sit or just take for a day adventure. I've had guinea pigs, hampsters, fish, you name it. I pass you and your animal on the street don't be offended by me going straight to them first! Animals (all animals) seem to love me back too which I LOVE! I'm currently not working or occasionally working remote contract jobs so I have plenty of time to spend spoiling your furr baby! And spoil them I will!!!! I have a condo in Minneapolis near the Sculpture Garden and Loring park. I am on the first floor with a patio and yard so plenty of space to do their business or to take a great walk. My building is small and very pet friendly. I'm also comfortable traveling out to your home since I'm central to the area.

“Ellen is so patient & understanding with my fearful dog. I drop my dog off with a wagging tail which says a lot! I am so grateful for her & her availability and communication.”
