Doggy Day Care in Hawthorne, Minneapolis

“Molly was extremely nervous when I dropped her off this morning but Maria was very good with her! A short time after I left, she sent me photos showing Molly having fun and more photos and video throughout the day. Definitely will use Maria for daycare again!”

“Alyson is wonderful! Our pup stayed with her while we were visiting town and I'm so so glad we found her. Alyson was super responsive and easy to communicate with and really flexible. Plus my pup was zonked out after we picked him up, so he must have played a lot and had a great time.”

“Korina took such good care of Spike for daycare! My pup was excited in the morning and tired in the evening. Korina was extremely easy to work with and as a bonus, takes amazing pictures!”

“Kaitlin is AMAZING!! Since I’ve been on Rover, I’ve had 2 amazing sitters and Kaitlin is one of them… she has made my Luna feel at home. My Luna loves her dogs as well and one thing for sure is that when I get my girl gets home she’s all tired out lol. Kaitlin keeps me updated at all times with pictures and text messages. I hope our relationship is forever. Thanks Kaitlin”

“Amanda and Sage were great hosts. It was Hans' first time at daycare and he came home tired and happy. Access to a fenced in backyard was ideal and Amanda was great about communicating with me around how things were going.”

“Mike was wonderful with Archie. He met us outside in the back yard so Archie could meet them in a neutral area; a soft intro. Appreciated that. Archie was quite comfortable when we picked him up. I highly recommend them.”

“Maliah was absolutely wonderful! She's very kind and responsive. My dog needed oral medication as well and had no problems. Definitely recommend!”

“Kona seemed to have such a great time with Kim and Maria! She came home every day pretty tuckered out. Will definitely be using them in the future!”

“Wow, Nigel had a great time with Savannah & Co.! Savannah was really great to work with - excellent communication throughout the process. Nigel was happy & relaxed when I picked him up, and he seemed sad to say goodbye to Solo. I’ll definitely be rebooking!”

About: New info- for my canine clients who are kennel trained- We have several spacious kennels and dog beds so rest assured that you dont have to bring yours. The kennels and dog beds are both washed and sanitized in between pups. We also have a dog bowls and extra poop bags on hand. For your elderly pup, pups that have recently had surgery or those with little legs- We have a doggie ramp for our stairs. I have been a pet owner for the past 20 years, mostly cats, but a few dogs. I will probably be a pet owner for the rest of my life. When I was younger I volunteered at my local animal hospital. I have previously had a Pomeranian (who was prone to seizures) as well as a terrier. I currently belong (yes they own me) 3 cats, Callie (aged 10), Simba (aged 7) and Soxxs (age unknown at least aged 5). I can't wait to meet your furry friend and have lots of fun together. I work full time Mon- Fri, so this is will be after work and on the weekends. I am willing to watch senior dogs and special needs dogs, as I believe that every dog needs love and care. I look forward to meeting you sooner rather than later. I have a fenced in yard. We do kennel when we are out of the house and during meal times to ensure your canine doesn't eat something they aren't supposed to. Winter boardings- we use pet safe sidewalk salt in addition to wiping off paws after walks. I work Mon- Fri, I am home on the weekends, as well as my husband is off on M Tuesday & Wednesday. Pets are always cared for as we are on opposite shifts. We provide plenty of walks and love for your pets. We usually stays away from dogs parks just because other dogs could be more aggressive. We do a potty break & breakfast in the morning (between 6 & 7 am), several walks thoughout the day. We do have littles so we do crate during meal times. We do one last potty break in the evening (between 8 & 10 pm) This can be changed as each pup is different and has different needs. We do potty breaks through our the day and several walks. My husband and I are on opposite schedules so someone is always home with the pups. We do keep dog soap on hand in the event a bath is needed.

“Kira was amazing with my newly adopted dog. I didn't want him to be alone during a few medical appointments I had, so he stayed with her a few times. He came home so exhausted and happy and I was able to feel very comfortable and not worry about him being alone at his brand new home. I will definitely rebook with her again. Thanks Kira!”

“Trot clearly had a great day and we were kept in the loop with pleasant updates throughout the day. We’ll definitely stay with Abby again!”

“Margaret is incredible. So kind and caring when it comes to people but elevated even more so when it comes to pups. The connection she is instantly able to make, I've never felt more comfortable and at ease when leaving my pupper behind and in her care. Knowing they are in great hands, getting lots of love and attention. The active communication and photos that she shares throughout are certainly appreciated and rare to find in folks going above and behind to not only put the human at ease, but more importantly, the pup :) Can't recommend high enough.”

“Ali has been walking for me for the past year! She is great with animals and Lucy took to her right away. She always brings treats with her and is willing to run with Lucy, who definitely needs to burn off the energy!”

“Abby was great with my pup, Belle! She made sure Belle got 2 long walks during the day and sent lots of pictures. She communicated quickly to all my questions and texts. Looking forward to booking her again! Thanks Abby!!”

“Luna and Pudge had a great day and came home tired and happy.”

“Luke is very responsible and his place is right next to the rooftop dog park. My puppy had so much fun playing with Luke’s dog Leia. Everything is just wonderful! Thank you Luke!”

About: I'm an animal lover with a history of helping people take care of their fur babies. I am also more than willing and able to pick up your baby or babies of you'd like. I've had dogs and/or cats most of my life. My friends and neighbors have regularly trusted me to take care of their fur babies of varying ages, breeds, species and needs for many years. One even had 2 cats, 2 dogs and a ferret. I have about 5 years of experience fostering puppies, with the biggest litter being 5 pups and ranging from 3 weeks to adoptable age, and young dogs. I love animals and enjoy having fun and playing with them at home, as well as walking them and going to the dog park so they can socialize and run and play with other dogs. I have administered meds both orally and by injection to both dogs and cats. I've also had a cat once that I nursed, because he was about a week old when I got him. I currently have a full time job, usually working 8-9 hours a day 4 days a week, but I do have a friend that is available to be here on days I'm at work while I transition to dog sitting full time. I have a fenced yard and a dog at home that's sweet and gets along well with other dogs. I have plenty of room to run around and play inside also. My pup has lots of toys and is good about sharing them. She's not food aggressive. We enjoy going for walks and do our best to go to the dog park every day for extra exercise and socializing. I know how to give medicine orally and by injection as I have done both in the past.

“Colleen and Joe have watched my dogs many times. They are people who delight in our furry friends, and it shows! They took care of my previous dog into her very old age, and my new dog loves them too. Their resident dog is so friendly with all the guests in his home. Colleen and Joe are attentive, patient, and kind, and I would highly recommend them!”

“Rachel is a wonderful sitter. She welcomed my dog into her home on short notice when he needed 24 hour supervision after a medical procedure. She loved him up just the same way that I would have!”
