Doggy Day Care in Hiawatha, Minneapolis

“Alyson is great! My 5 month old puppy, Jojo, is so tired when I pick her up. It's perfect! Jojo loves going there too, she's only been there a few times yet she gets so excited when she realizes we are walking over. Alyson makes sure that the dogs get ample play time, it is so nice to know my puppy is happy and well cared for while I am at work. It's so great that my puppy gets to socialize and learn how to be around other dogs. Drop off and pick up is a breeze, Alyson has made the whole process seamless. This has been such a relief while my boyfriend is out of town and I'm on single dog mom duty. Thank you, Alyson!”

“Takenya waa excellent with our dog and went up and beyond with the care. And she was great about Sending pictures and videos. She is excellent with dogs. You can tell from the minute she meet her that she loves animals. She helped us out on short notice We recommend her highly.”

“Thank you so much for watching Pancho!”

“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”

“We booked day boarding with Lydia to accommodate holiday visits with family in the Twin Cities at Christmas. Illness changed our plans but we did use Lydia for fewer days and found her responsive, happy to work with our sweet, shy beagle, and her house and yard were perfect.”

“We would highly recommend Brianna! She sent us several pictures and updates of how Odin was doing and he obviously enjoyed his day with her. We will certainly use her for daycare again.”

“Jackson was flexible and accommodating with our plans and Marley’s needs.”

“Herman LOVES hanging out at Samantha's! So wonderful to have a place where he feels comfortable and gets as much love and care as he does at home!”

About: Adventurous and active millennial who enjoys going for runs or cuddling up to a good movie! I love hanging out with my three dogs, Lola (7 year old female Golden Retriever, 50 lbs), Levi (5 year old male Golden Retriever, 50 lbs) who currently live with me and Marvin (11 year old male Border Collie Blue Heeler, 45 lbs) who currently lives with my parents but visits often. We spend most of our free time outside in our yard and at the nearby lakes and trails. We do love to relax at home as well and binge our favorite series! Looking forward to meeting you and your furry best friend! Skills: Cared for dogs for 10+ years (2 of my own) Worked as a Kennel Assistant - very familiar with dog behavior and training I am currently transitioning to hybrid work and will be at my home full-time during the week along with available weekends. Most of my professional career prior to this has been caring for many different animal species! I have a decent sized fenced in yard with multiple dogs to hang with your pup. Every dog gets a "safe space" set up where they can eat, sleep and relax. Each area is in its own room equipped with blankets and food and water bowls. I also have a dog camera that I like to set up if I need to leave your pooch for a few hours. I try my best to never leave your pup for more than a few hours. We are also walking minutes away from a lake where we can enjoy afternoon strolls and swims as well! I am conveniently located less than 10 minutes from the MSP Airport for anyone hopping on a flight! There is plenty of street parking if clients would like to leave their vehicle when they drop off their pet and uber/lyft to the airport from here..ride shares usually range from $10-$40 from this location depending on time of day etc… I do offer rides when ride share is unavailable :)

“Short version: Tammy and her basset hounds are excellent hosts. I would return my two dogs to her care anytime and also recommend the same to others. Long version: My dogs Jack and Oliver stayed with Tammy and her two basset hounds Charlie and Phoebe. I am from Oregon and I communicated with Tammy using dogvacay. Everything was setup in Minneapolis before I left Oregon. When I arrived at her house Tammy greeted us in the yard and the dogs got to meet/greet in a great way. After a little while to see how they did, I left them for about six hours. The four played and socialized all day and were having a fabulous time when I came to pick them up. Pawsome!”

“Ellen is great! She goes out of her way to ensure my anxious pup is happy and comfortable. Great communication: She keeps me posted on how he is doing and doesn't hesitate to ask questions about his little quirks. After only one day with Ellen, he hops in the house with tail wagging! Thanks Ellen!”

“Our dogs were in great hands with Lisa and her pup! Our initial "meet and greet" was very easy and convenient at a local park. The dogs made themselves right at home and Lisa was gracious and accommodating when we were late picking up.”

“Cassi and her family have watched our pups for the last 10 years. Most recently our highly anxious rescue dog at her home for 3 weeks while we were traveling internationally. We have felt so lucky that they welcome pups into their home just because they adore dogs so much. Our dog truly loved their family and was so comfortable very quickly. Highly recommend this wonderful dog loving family.”

“I've known Johanna for 2 decades. She's a caring, genuine person and an animal advocate. She's had several pets through the years that have all been well taken care of - most recently, a cherished St. Bernard who lived a long and full life. She has experience with rabbits, cats, dogs, and horses - and those are just what I can recall. Johanna used to watch my dog from time to time and she was always joyful when Johanna came by. If we ever get another dog, Jo would be the first person I'd ask to help out as the time comes. Johanna would make an excellent sitter or walker and has years of experience to prove it!”

“Stacy was fantastic! She took Benji on our moving day and took so much stress off our plates. She coordinated a meet and greet to help alleviate any anxiety between our dog and hers, and was incredible flexible throughout.”

“Anthony has a life time of experience with dogs and cats. He is kind and responsible for pets, has the ability and energy to take long walks and exercise as needed and loves animals. He has been a pet owner all of his life and will treat your pet as his own. He watches them closely, and will take the necessary precautions to assure their safety and comfort in his care. Anthony has also sit for pets privately and has many clients that continue to return due to the excellent care he provides. I would, and have, entrusted Anthony with the care of my precious pup and highly recommend him for your pet's care.”

“My Chihuahua Rosie got comfy fast and was very relaxed at the end of her first day with Janelle and Kelsey. Janelle and Kelsey did a great job with Rosie, she clearly had a good day with them they also provided me with updates on how Rosie was doing which I really appreciated as a nervous first timer.”

“Thank you, Susan. Your love for dogs really shines through. 😊 You were able to make a positive connection with Tia quickly. I appreciate all the love and attention you gave her while I was away.”

“Seth was patient, flexible, and communicative while he provided doggy day care for my pup. He is clearly passionate about dogs. We had a great experience!”
