Doggy Day Care in Elliot Park, Minneapolis, MN

“This is is the first time I’ve left my dog with a Rover for day care. Kira does a great job with sending pics so you know your dog is doing great. When I picked my girl up she even walked back to Kira as though she wanted to stay haha. I’ll definitely use Kira 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.”

“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: My family had 3 dogs growing up so I am very experienced with walking, interacting with and loving animals! I would love to watch your dog for the weekend, a few week days or whenever needed! I currently work from home 4 days out of the week so I would be able to stay home and take the dog outside or for a quick walk easily. I live with my fiancé who also works from home frequently and helps me out with the dog if needed. Weekends get booked up quick but we’d love some company to go for a walk, go to the dog park, or hang out if we are free! I live in an apartment but live right across the street from a large popular park that I walk around regularly. The park is very popular with pet owners as well.

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.

“Lydia has been so flexible with pick-up/drop off times and is willing to watch our dog on short notice. Mac absolutely loves her and I know he’s so well taken care of when he stays with her. Most times he doesn’t want to leave! We will use Lydia for as long as she’ll have him! ❤️”

About: I’ve cared for animals for over 14 years, beginning on my family’s farm and later raising our husky from 12 weeks through his senior years. That experience gave me hands-on knowledge in puppy training reinforcement, leash work, managing high-energy breeds, and providing attentive senior care. Beyond caring for our own dog, we’ve also looked after pets for friends and family during everything from weekend getaways to extended international travel. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments — from playful, social pups to shy or reactive dogs who benefit from calm, structured handling. Pet parents often tell us how much they appreciate our detailed, fun updates and the peace of mind they feel knowing their dogs are safe, engaged, and genuinely cared for. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so your pup will have plenty of company, supervision, and attention throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine — whether it’s morning walks, mid-day play breaks, or quiet companionship while I work. Your dog won’t be left alone for long stretches and will be part of a calm, loving home where they feel safe and cared for. We have a spacious, pet-friendly apartment with plenty of room to rest, play, and feel at home. During colder months, our building’s indoor puppy potty area makes quick breaks safe and comfortable when temperatures aren’t ideal. We’re steps from the Greenway, Loring Park, and the Sculpture Garden, which means beautiful, safe walking routes and access to green space for structured adventures. For safety, all dogs are securely leashed on walks, and I’m mindful of surroundings, other dogs, and each pup’s comfort level at all times. I limit the number of dogs I care for so each one receives dedicated attention and supervision.

“He sit my baby for a couple hours and did it amazing even of my baby's high energy. I would definitely recommend him and I would require his service again.”
