HUGE fenced yard! Home full time!
Pet care experience
20+ years experience with dogs of all shapes, sizes, ages, and energy levels. Also with cats, larger animals such as horses, cattle and sheep, chickens and ducks, pocket pets (ferrets, guinea pigs, rats, hamsters, etc.) and fish. Experienced with dog behavior, training, grooming, even showing. I managed a dog daycare in the twin cities metro for several years, but decided to stay closer to home and give the personal touch instead. Country setting outside of town with a very large fenced yard that rivals any public dog park. All dogs are spoiled here but in a structured and safe environment and treated as one of my own dogs. Boarding dogs is not new for me as I’ve have been doing it for quite a few years. It’s always been a dream of mine to make a career out of doing something that I love, and I definitely love caring for dogs! Does your pet prefer to sleep in the bed with us? Not a problem! Is your pooch a couch potato and just wants to nap all day on the couch? No sweat! Is your dog a wild child and needs hours and hours of exercise a day? We have that covered too! Your dog will be treated like family and we’re flexible to each individuals needs. **Please note** * Drop offs/pick ups by appointment only during the hours of 7am to 9pm. Exceptions made on a case by case basis. * Boarding rates are based on a 24 hr stay. Any pick ups past the 24 hour period may be subject to a prorated daycare charge up to $20. * For the safety of myself and other dogs, nails must be clipped within week of boarding or daycare. * Meet & greet required prior to first stay. So for this reason, I’m unable to accommodate last minute bookings for new dogs.
Reviews
Danielle has cared for our labs twice for a week each time and it has been wonderful. They socialize and have a lot of fun, which I see from the daily pictures she sends -and they come home tired, which I appreciate so we can recover from vacation without dealing with bored dogs. I highly recommend Danielle.
This was our first time leaving our 2 dogs with Danielle and we could not be happier. She sent wonderful updates every day and our dogs clearly had a blast. Our high energy border collie mix slept for 2 days when we got home, he had so much fun playing with the other dogs. She also made sure our older dog got plenty of TLC and catered to his more low key needs as well. Overall, we are very happy with the care Danielle provided for our pups and we will definitely consider her again in the future if we need to travel without them.
Mavis had such a wonderful time with Danielle she came home tired and happy from playing with all the other dogs! Danielle kept us updated with photos and messages during the week. It was nice to be able to enjoy my time away knowing Mavis was enjoying her time too. I will book Danielle every time in the future. Thank you Danielle for such a wonderful experience!!!!
Our dog boarded with Danielle for 6 nights and he loved it! Before we booked, Danielle allowed us to tour since we never used this service before. Her house and property are beautiful and well maintained with a HUGE fenced in grass yard overlooking a lake. She has a bunch of toys to keep dogs busy as well as climbing structures for dogs to play on. There is a fresh and constantly running water fountain for the dogs to drink from so they're not all drinking from the same hot bowl of water---that was a great plus in my book! There is a doggy door where the dogs can freely go in and out of her house where the downstairs is dedicated to the dogs. I appreciated this since our dog stayed when it was super hot and he had the option of going inside when he became too hot and not when the group wanted to go in. I got daily updates with a handful of pictures and she was quick to respond to any questions I had. Danielle seems very knowledgable about dog behavior and how to handle packs of dogs. After the week our dog was with her, I can easily trust her with future boarding--which we already booked for next month!

I have a very large fenced yard with lots of toys and other things for the dogs to play with. I also have a dedicated dog room with crates and beds for the dogs to have a quiet place to relax and eat in between playing or if they just need a break.
Home
Information Danielle C. would like to know about your pet
All pets must be vaccinated for at least rabies, DHLPP, (titers also acceptable) and have had a recent negative fecal test (worms). Since we live in a heavily wooded area, flea & tick preventative is a must! Dogs with anxiety or behavioral issues are welcomed, but PLEASE let me know ahead of time so I can prepare. Intact males and females accepted on a case by case basis provided the dog exhibits proper group play behavior and no aggression. No females in heat.
A typical day
Big fenced yard with lots of room to run and explore. All dogs are treated like one of my own and will go home tired and happy!
