Pet care experience
🐾 Dog-Loving Duo, Home & Heart
🐶 Over the years, my wife Diane and I have cared for many pups—ours, family’s, and friends’. We both melt at nearly every dog we meet. We raised two beloved Miniature Schnauzers who became diabetic and blind in their senior years, so we’re very familiar with special needs, administering medications, and tailoring care to individual temperaments. We've also socialized young rescue pups, many with special needs, and are always attentive to a dog's unique comfort zone. Whether it’s sticking to a strict feeding schedule, giving meds, or just making a pup feel safe, we handle it with care and compassion. We also love capturing moments—expect plenty of photos and videos to keep you in the loop while you’re away.

Ratings and reviews
Andrzej and Diane spoiled our Rico for a week while we were on vacation. He is a picky poodle eater especially when we are away and usually doesn't eat for afew days when we are gone but he felt right at home with them and ate like a champ. They took hime for many walks and played with him just like at home.
Dianne and Andrzej have taken care of our small 5 pound Havanese dog chase for several years. We could not be more pleased and satisfied. I think the best testimonial comes from Chase himself , he could not be more excited when we drop him off with Diane and Andrzej. They’re the best.
Andrzej & Diane took amazing care of my dog Covi (an energetic Australian Shepherd) while I was away. They were attentive, loving, and clearly experienced with dogs. I felt totally at ease knowing Covi was in such good hands. Highly recommend! — Britain O.
Andrzej and Diane came to stay with our dog while we were out of town. They were both very interactive with her and took her for great walks!

Schedule
👋 We’re a dog-loving couple who treat every pup like extended family. Diane is semi-retired and the primary caregiver during the day, which gives us a lot of flexibility. I work full-time, but I’m involved mornings, evenings, and weekends, so we share the care based on what each dog needs. When we commit to a pup, we coordinate as a team to make sure their routine is consistent and they’re getting all the love, play, and attention they need. Whether it’s a walk-heavy schedule or a snuggle-on-the-couch situation, we adjust with ease.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
🏡 We live in a first-floor, multi-level condo in St. Paul’s historic Hill District, complete with a fenced-in backyard for safe and easy outside time. Indoors, it’s calm and cozy—ideal for dogs who like a peaceful home base. We've kennel-trained our own dogs and usually set up a small kennel under the bedside table, offering a quiet den-like space many pups naturally gravitate to. Whether your dog is staying with us or we’re caring for them in your home, our focus is always on keeping them safe, comfortable, and stress-free. We do our best to maintain their routine and bring them comfort while you’re away.
A typical day
Every dog is different, and we do our best to match their energy, routine, and personality. Some pups love adventure—we’ve had dogs join us on weekend trips, bike rides, and even while rollerblading (with proper leash control, of course!). Others prefer a slower pace, enjoying relaxed walks through our neighborhood or sniff-filled strolls in the nearest park. At home, we love a mix of indoor play, backyard romps, and couch cuddles. Whether it’s tug-of-war, sunbathing in the yard, or just being a cozy companion, we focus on making each day fun, engaging, and tailored to your dog’s vibe.
