About: Hi, I am Joie, an experienced and caring pet sitter, dog foster, and owner of Dogwood Bed & Biscuit. I have had furry family members my whole life and have also been a dog foster for over 15 years. I just absolutely love all animals. I strive to provide a safe, fun home for the little dogs under 40 lbs. Ages 12 weeks to senior. I am experienced administering meds. Dogs are welcome to sleep wherever they are most comfortable, and I have more toys than most pet stores, as well as dog beds scattered throughout the house. I also have a dog door to the backyard; dogs are welcome to come and go to enjoy the sun in a safe, fenced-in yard or stay inside snuggled in a cozy bed. I can provide a kennel if the owner prefers. I will accept unneautered/unspayed pups but will not sit more than one at a time. I host meet-and-greets with all new families to ensure I am a good fit for your pup. I do work downtown in the afternoons on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, but am home all day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and weekends. I do not offer house-sitting or drop-ins, but I am available for dog daycare and boarding. I can also possibly provide pickups and drop-offs within a certain radius for an additional fee. Feel free to reach out anytime with questions or concerns... I look forward to meeting you! I currently work from home on Tuesdays and Thursdays and can be home all day on weekends. My fiancé, Andrew, is home all day Nov - April, so someone would be available each day to provide care as well.. I have a fenced-in yard and 2 fun, sweet pups that love new company. They can either be chill or playful depending on the circumstances. We also have a dog door for small dogs that want to use the backyard.
“It was clear that River had a great time with Cynthia. Very communicative and has a nice place for dogs to run in. Her dogs are friendly and love to play. I will definitely use Cynthia again! :)”

“This was my first time using Wish and it was absolutely wonderful that by the time I got to Target drive up she had sent me a photo love the other two small dogs that my dog was playing with it totally put my mind at ease! She sent me other photos as updates and even a video. I absolutely loved her service it's close to my house convenient and I like that my dog got to play with her son also. I will definitely use her services again!”

“Kelly is superb at caring for our dog. When we leave, our dog doesn’t eat well, but Kelly coaxed her to eat well! She gave Grace plenty of outdoor time as well as snuggles and attention. We love Kelly and our dog does too!”

“My two dogs had a great stay with Shelby. Winnie loved her two daily walks and Nuggett loved to opt out of the walks and chill instead. They came home happy campers!”

“Becky does a great job. I know Pearl is spoiled. Becky keeps me updated the whole time while on vacation with any problems and pictures of Pearl and you can tell she is happy there. Definitely recommend!!!”

“I have nothing but great things to say about our experience with Ana and her family! She was great at giving me updates and photos of how things were going for my baby Arlo! I definitely recommend them and I will be using Ana and her family whenever I need someone to take care of Arlo again!”

“Marill took excellent care of our girls! We needed a last minute sitter and she made them feel comfortable and at home. She is knowledgeable about dog behaviors, dogs needing meds and is comfortable with big dogs. Thank you for the great care you took looking after our girls! They will be back in the future!”

“Shelley was great with our dog! She sent us photos and updates daily and was very communicative. She stopped by our house after pickup to grab something I accidentally brought with me when I picked up my dog. When my dog saw her again, she got all sorts of excited and showed her tons of doggie love which showed me how much my dog enjoyed her time there. The yard isn't fenced in which was a concern for me but it ended up not being a problem.”

“Steven and Diana were great with my puppy! We got regular picture updates of all the fun they were having together. They have a nice fenced yard so he could run all of his energy out. We will definitely be booking them again!”

“Brandi and her family were AMAZING! The communication was great, the pictures, the many walks, the care they provided our puppy was everything we could have hoped for and more. Wonderful experience, we just booked another stay with Brandi’s family for this fall!”

“Leaving my two Aussie ladies with this family was an easy decision. They were very responsive, sent photos and updates, and let my young Aussie sleep with them. Their dog also played so well with the young Aussie!!”

“Robin was amazing!!! If I could give her more than 5 stars I would. She is very accommodating, she was constantly sharing with me how Blue was doing and included pictures. Her and her whole family made Blue feel like a part of their family. Thank you so much Robin!🤍”

“Katie was able to accommodate hosting Hazel over Labor Day weekend while we visited family. Katie had great communication before and during the stay, Hazel also enjoyed spending time with another dog for a few days. We’ll be sure to utilize Katie again when we need a dog sitter!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lonsdale
Kaylin was fantastic! She was very responsive when I would message her and did so good with our little fur babies Winston and Luna! She sent updates every day and night with pictures which we appreciated so much! Seeing them happy and enjoying themselves gave us piece of mind they were in good hands. This was their first experience with a Rover sitter and I could have asked for a better one! Thank you so much Kaylin and Winston and Luna will certainly want to come back!

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Lonsdale can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Lonsdale home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Lonsdale.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Lonsdale sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MN ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
