Dog Boarding in Madelia, MN

“My dogs love Mimi and Nicole! I will always bring them to their house whenever I need a sitter. I know I can trust them and they even send me pictures frequently letting me know how they are doing.”

“Joy took wonderful care of our dog. She sent pictures and was very communicative. Our dog seemed very happy while in her home. I would definitely recommend Joy to others, and we plan on using her again.”

“We've taken Toby over to Danika's multiple times and each time we can tell he loves it there. They are even great with giving Toby his meds twice a day. Thanks for taking care of him so well when we're out of town!”

“Lola had so much fun staying with Jenna and meeting some new friends. She slept the entire next day after coming home. We appreciated the updates and pictures sent to us during Lola’s stay. We would definitely book with Jenna again!”

“Gloria is everything you want in a pet sitter! She kept us updated the entire time and took care of our dog as if he was her own. It’s evident how much she cares for animals (her “kids” 🤍). Definitely recommend!”

“AylaJean is wonderful! I had such a great vacation because I didn't have to worry about my kitties' care while we were away. She sent regular updates until we got back and my kittens were happy and healthy when we returned. We'll definitely be hiring this family again for future trips. Thank you so much!”

Ashley M.

“Lynn is the absolute best! Our pup has never stayed with anyone but family. Lynn took great care of Ruby and sent photos throughout the weekend. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Lynn was the perfect fit for our sweet Ruby girl!”

“Maisie was such an amazing help to us! She was very attentive to our newly rescued dachshund and was extremely communicative with us during the sit. She really cares about the pets she sits and we had a great experience with her helping sit Sophie while we were away for Thanksgiving. We will absolutely be booking her again, thank you! 🩵”

“Beth and family were awesome to my fur baby. My GoodleDoodle enjoyed all the attention and play time and came home tired out which was great for me to relax to. Will definitely use again!”

Shari B.

“I am so glad I have Teralyn near me. My RuthAnne was tail wagging excited when I dropped her off. Can’t get better review then a big ole tail wag.”

Barbara H.

“Heidi (and Easton) took such good care of Cain. Couldn’t be more happy with the updates and how it went. 24 hours later Cain is still tired, so I know he got a lot of exercise and attention.”

About: I grew up caring for my two dogs and two cats, giving me extensive experience with both species from an early age. I currently help care for my friend's dog with walks and potty breaks when she is away, and I frequently snuggle and bond with my roommate's cat. What sets me apart is my constant supervision from my remote job and my genuine appreciation for each pet's unique personality. I am comfortable handling animals in various environments, and I have personal experience going on adventures and hikes with my friends' pets. I love directing my attention and extra love toward their individual characteristics. Since I work a remote, part-time job, my schedule is highly flexible, allowing me to give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day. I enjoy taking myself on walks and would love to add a furry companion to the mix, ensuring they get multiple, long walks and frequent outdoor breaks. While I don't have a fenced yard, I am available to provide frequent, potty breaks and am committed to walking your dog multiple times daily for exercise and enrichment. Safety is my top priority, and I am careful to secure all doors and follow all of your instructions.

“We drove up to Minnesota from South Carolina to visit family. It iwas hard to leave them but it gave us the opportunity to give 100% of our time to spoil our grandkids. Our fur babies were well taken care of. They were very happy with Lacey & Troy. We will definitely use them again when we visit family in Minnesota. Thank you so much!”

Irene Y.

“Shawna was a very compassionate pet owner, and sitter. She met all of my dogs needs , and my own. I can tell she went above any beyond to make my fur baby feel at home. I will definitely be a repeat customer”

About: I started taking care of colleague's pets in 2006 and regularly cared for 4 households' pets including, a German Shepherd, black lab, poodle, and multiple cats. I also volunteered at the Humane Society in AZ for a few years with the adoptable cats at PetSmart, cleaning their cubbies, litterboxes, and helping with socialization. I continued petsitting after finding an ad on Craigslist for a family in my area and watched their home while they traveled over the summer (for 3 years), taking care of their plants, mail, and two dogs - a husky and a greyhound. I would walk them and feed them twice a day, shop for chicken legs at the owner's request, and administered multiple medications in pill form to the husky. They introduced me to their neighbors and I watched their home when they would travel and fed and cleaned up after their English Bulldog and Yorkie at least two times a day. I also watched a friend's senior dachshund regularly when they went out of town. In Phoenix I housesat for a colleague and her partner on multiple occasions and they had 4 dogs and 2 cats. I would stay the night there to feed and care for the animals and keep an eye on the house. I simply left for work and then went there immediately after. I grew up with cats and now have 2 pets of my own, a 5-year-old pug named Bo and a 2-year-old munchkin cat named Elliot. I moved back to MN in 2020. In the fall of 2020, I helped my sister care for a family friend's hobby farm which had goats, sheep, donkeys, cats, dogs, ducks, and chickens. We mucked out the barn every day and hosed out the stable area, let the chickens out in the morning and locked them in the coop at night, fed all of the animals, moved a fence most days for the donkeys and some of the larger animals to roam outside of the regular fenced-in area. I also traveled to Champlin to watch a German shepherd and stayed there while the family went on vacation a few times. Over the Christmas holiday in 2022, I watched a friend's Vizsla/Lab mix who is 11 and took care of things around her house. I fed the pup twice a day and visited midday to take her out and spend time there from anywhere between 30 minutes to a few hours. She would then spend the night with me at my home. I took care of the mail, ran water so the pipes wouldn't freeze, cleaned up after the dog, etc. Watching an animal made me realize how much I missed pet sitting and wanted to start doing it again. I currently work from home on weekdays, which makes it easy to help a few times a day, before and/or after work, and leaves my weekends wide open. I am available overnights, before and after work. My schedule is 8 am to 4:30 pm, with some flexibility. My weekends are wide open for any pet care or home needs. I have a fenced backyard and large home. I would prefer watching animals in your home and caring for them there as they are typically more comfortable but we do have the space if necessary in my home. Walking, feeding, administering medication, assisting with household duties, etc., are all within reason and things I'd be happy to assist with. I have done these things for multiple families and households in my area.

About: I have had pets my whole life that have lived in the house. We have dogs, cats, and even a lizard I have taken care of! I was home alone a lot so taking care of my animals is first priority and a habit. I am a college student and working a seasonal job so there is times to for me to show your pet some love and taken care of! I have no pets at our apartment but we do live close to some parks and our backyard has plenty grass to play in! There is room if your pet has to be crated as well!

About: I have 3 animals myself. I have 2 dogs and 1 cat. I have done my own training with my animals. I will do anything for the animals I take care for. They are a best friend to their owners so they should be treated like a person I have a set schedule with my full time job and I’m able to work around my schedule and I’m able to do walks after my job. I will make sure the dogs are able to have a clean living space and make sure they have food and water. Give them loves while their owners are out of the house.

About: Hi, I’m Kaitlyn! I've been caring for animals of all shapes and sizes for over a decade — from tiny kittens to large breed dogs like my own lovable Cane Corso. Growing up surrounded by cats and dogs sparked a lifelong passion for animals, and I’ve been pet sitting since I was 12 years old. Whether your pet is high-energy or more laid-back, I’m confident in creating a safe, loving, and fun environment tailored to their needs. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’d love to meet your pet and make sure they feel right at home while you’re away! Pet care is a natural part of my daily life! I work a typical 8–5 job Monday through Friday, but I always make time for animals. I have a one-hour lunch break each day, which I use to go home and let my dog out, give him attention, and make sure he’s happy and comfortable. After work, you’ll usually find me walking, playing, or training with him—it’s one of the best parts of my day. On weekends, I’m completely available and fully dedicated to pet care, whether that’s watching over pets in my home or visiting yours. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and well-attended to. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you have. I’m patient, observant, and always respectful of each animal’s unique personality and needs. I also give regular updates so you can feel confident that your pet is in great hands while you're away.

“Erin did a great job with my puppy ! Highly recommend !”
