Doggy Day Care in Inver Grove Heights

“I can't speak highly enough of Kristine! I took a chance on a day care near my work and sent a request to her the night before needing her. Upon meeting her the next morning, all my apprehensions left! She was genuinely welcoming to me, but more importantly, to my pup, Bella. You know how you kinda wish your pet would look back and wonder why you're leaving them especially at a brand new place? Bella pranced right up to Kristine's house and was ready for the day's adventure. Clearly, I was more nervous than Bella. Kristine sent me an update within the first hour to let me know Bella was doing fine. It was even more exciting to hear that my little Bella was playing well with Kristine's bigger dog, Gio. What a twosome they were! Thank you, Kristine, for making this work emergency of mine doable and caring for Bella so lovingly.”

“Every time Jack visits Mike it goes very well. Even though my dog doesn't need a sitter often, Mike has taken the time to know my dog and his personality and treats him very very well. I really trust Mike with my dog. I will use Mike every time I need to be gone more than a couple of hours. He's great!”

“Our two dogs had a wonderful first day at Topsy's. They were both happy and relaxed when I picked them up and brought them home. Topsy communicated throughout the day and sent cute pics of our dogs which is always appreciated but especially when it is the first time. Our kids tease us and say our dogs are our favorite children, and they are not far from the truth! So it always makes us feel good to find someone who likes and cares for our dogs. We will definitely bring our them to Topsy's again!”

“This was our first experience using Lynn to provide an afternoon of daycare for our two, 1-1/2 yr old labs Maggie and Willow. Lynn met with us for a visit before we booked this daycare service and we found Lynn to be very knowledgeable, confident, cheerful and pleasant to work with. She did a great job answering all of questions and gave us the time we needed to ask them. On the day of daycare she took extra care in introducing our pups to the other dogs since Maggie can be very timid and a bit insecure. Everything went really well and by all indications Maggie and Willow had a great time. We will certainly book future stays with Lynn.”

“This was our puppy’s first time staying with a sitter, and Caleb did an amazing job! He was kind, patient, and attentive — exactly what we needed for our young pup. Caleb kept us updated with photos and messages, which really helped ease our nerves. Our puppy came home happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable with Caleb. We’re so grateful to have found someone we trust and will definitely be booking with him again. Highly recommend!”

“Rebecca was so good to Maisie, I will absolutely use her again! Great communicator and obviously loves dogs. Her house and yard are perfectly set up for doggie fun.”

“Carrie is the best! Bear was well taken care of and had so much fun with Willow!! Bear was 100% comfortable going there each day! Thank you, Carrie & Willow - we’ll see you soon!”

“Ellen was AMAZING. She was so kind and caring and did a great job watching our pug, Yoshi! Ellen was very thoughtful and thorough for our meet and greet and I felt very comfortable having her watch our pet for the first time. We GREATLY appreciate her willingness to take Yoshi last minute! We would definitely recommend Ellen and look forward to more visits in the future!”

About: I love caring for dogs. I have a Westie of my own. My male Westie does best with small and medium breeds. I can also care for smaller animals such as bunnies or hamsters. I work from home full time. I am able to give your dog a lot of attention. Your dog will have my Westie as company. I have a fenced in yard. My dog will keep your dog company. My dog is very friendly. I can crate your dog if needed. I can do daily walks.

“My pup Rosie had a BLAST with Andrea. She got to run and play with other pups and she came home happy and tired! Andrea is super dog-savvy and really can read each dog and their personality and what they need.”

“Tofte loves going to Bethany's! She is a thoughtful, caring dog sitter who takes such good care of Tofte during the day. She is so kind and friendly, and very understanding with our separation anxiety little guy.”

“Would definitely use Jie again! Very responsive and easy to work with for booking/ answering questions. During my dogs stay, I got pictures of my dog throughout the day and there is great fenced in yard for him to spend time in. And most importantly, he was happy and has a wagging tail when I came to get him.”

“Thanks Abby and Jeff! This was Ellie’s first time at daycare here, and they took great care of her and were patient with her as she settled into her new surroundings.”

“Teddy was happy to spend the day with Amanda, she gave him lots of love and attention. I was so relieved that Teddy was well taken care of. It's a plus that she has a fenced in back yard.”

Patricia L.

“Emily had a huge fenced in back yard that my dog could explore and play with the other dogs. It’s nice that she could get exercise. They liked having her and would love to care for her again.”

About: We have 2 dogs and consider them as part of our family. I enjoy spending time with my pets, whether it's taking them for a walk, playing together, or simply cuddling on the couch. My love for dogs is a significant part of my life. I understand the bond and companionship that dogs bring, and I believe in promoting responsible pet ownership and animal welfare. I am currently a teacher on summer break so I have plenty of time to spend taking care of my puppies and yours! Once school is back in session my availability may change. I have 2 friendly dogs and a nice yard with invisible fencing. Taking care of my dogs involves several important tasks. We go on walks daily, make sure meals are taken care of on schedule, keep up with grooming and make sure to give lots of love and attention! I understand each dog is different and may have unique needs. Regular care, attention, and love are essential to keeping your dog happy and healthy.

“Will book again!”

“Last Friday was second time for Ruby at Mary’s. I’ve done regular daycare facilities in the past but have been wanting to try a more personal and less busy atmosphere. I feel Ruby is happy to go to Mary’s and is comfortable being there. I feel Ruby is being well cared for and trust Mary.”

About: I have years of hands-on pet care experience through both personal and professional care. I currently work in in-home pet care providing dog walking and cat sitting services, where I assist with daily routines such as feeding, walks, litter care, playtime, and companionship. I grew up around both dogs and cats and have always been comfortable caring for animals of different personalities and energy levels. I’ve also cared for cats long-term in my own home, which has given me experience with daily care and building trust with pets. I focus on keeping pets safe, calm, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m available to care for cats & dogs on weekdays from 7:30 AM to 2:00 PM while my daughter is at school. During this time, I can provide feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, and attention to make sure your pet feels happy and comfortable. I focus on following each pet’s normal routine and making sure they feel safe, calm, and well cared for throughout the visit. I care for pets by following their usual routines, including feeding, fresh water, walks, and litter box maintenance when needed. I give plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection to make sure each pet feels safe and comfortable. I can also administer medications if needed. I make sure pets are cared for in a clean, safe, and calm environment, whether I’m visiting their home or caring for them in my own. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs, including managing multiple pets at once and ensuring each one receives proper attention and care. 💕

About: I care for each pet as if they were my own. I walk, run and play with them. I treat every pet like a friend, offering comfort, attention and emotional connection. I bathe my dog about every other month. We have a routine in the morning with a walk before breakfast. Sometimes a walk around lunch time and another one after work is done. He is well loved and treated like a family member. I work full time Monday through Friday. I am in my office 3 half days and full time at home the other 2 days. I could stop at someone’s place on my way home to spend time with a dog and walk them. I can also stop over after work and later in the evening. In my home I have a fenced in yard that my dog can run free and play. If I am in a clients home I would make sure that there is nothing that the dog/puppy could get into after spending time with them/walking them.
