Fun family with a fenced backyard!

Pet care experience

I’m a stay at home dad of two young girls as well as an on-call substitute teacher and have been around dogs all my life. My wife Megan and I have a four year old Corgi who loves having furry friends to play with. Being at home during the day will allow me to give your pets the individual time and attention they need. Our backyard is perfect for playtime as it is entirely fenced which ensures the safety and freedom to run around. In the summer, we have pools in the back yard for hot days as well as plenty of toys for your pet to enjoy. We also have a lower level that they can access right off the yard which is also set up for pets. We are a high energy family that enjoys being outside and having fun. We are just minutes off Highway 10 with easy access on and off the highway which is a great option if you are heading up north to the cabin or down to Minneapolis/St. Paul. Long terms stays are available. I can’t think of a better way to spend the day than caring for my girls and your pet. We look forward to meeting you and your pets! Darrin and Megan

We are so grateful for Darrin and Megan- they take such excellent care of our dogs- we never feel guilty for leaving them behind, and the dogs feel like they are on vacation too!

Darrin and Megan took excellent care of our dog. They took care of her like she was their own. They also have two wonderful daughters who make sure your dog gets lots of love and pets. We will definitely use their services again.

Thank you Darrin and Megan for taking such great care of our two boys while we enjoyed a weekend away for a family wedding. Darrin and Megan definitely treated our boys like their own and I was updated with pictures of them settling in well. Fenced in backyard was a big perk for me while finding someone, and you can really tell they had lots of fun playing outside! They came home happy, and definitely exhausted! Appreciated that my two doggos were treated like family. :) Thanks again!

Information Darrin & Megan P. would like to know about your pet

Being that we have two young girls and another dog, we would like to know if your pet has any aversion to being handled and played with. Our girls are used to friendly dogs and they love to shower animals with affection so if your pet is not receptive to that, please let us know. We typically ask that drop offs be no earlier than 7am and pick ups be no later than 8pm as to maintain our routine as best as possible. Our active hours for drop in care and walks are 8am to 6pm. Please let us know if your needs are outside these times and we can certainly see if we can accommodate your request. In regards to holidays, we are not available for daycare, walks or drop in and we don’t arrange pick ups or drop offs on major holidays such as Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter as we typically have plans to see our families. Unless we are booked up, we are available on those days for boarding care. Please feel free to reach out and we can discuss your holiday pet care needs.

A typical day

There is a walking path right by our house that leads right to a park and we like to take the path on walks. Since our backyard is fenced, you will be able to choose how much time you want your dog to be outside. We emphasize being outside a lot and high energy play with our our pup, Penny. We have a few kiddie pools in the back and plenty of shade. We’ll play games you suggest for your animal as we have many toys for your pet to enjoy. Penny’s favorite game is fetch and she loves other dogs.
