Pet care experience

Your pet is my priority! As a retired logistics manager and former 12-year Navy medic, I understand how important it is to give your much-loved pet the individual experience it needs. I am a lifelong lover of dogs, keeper of schedules and manager of fun for your pooch. We offer Boarding as well as Training in our So. Minneapolis home that we share with our pup Jade. We have both owned rescue dogs and are experienced with all sizes of dogs including larger dogs. Sorry no pets under 1 year of age. New for 2023! We are no longer accepting new client pups over 70lbs! Due to COVID, we are no longer doing indoor meet and greets, thank you for understanding. Accommodations - Lots of love and attention from Doc & Heather - Dogs will never be left unattended (Unless prearranged) - If you allow, access and cuddling on furniture - Medication administration, if necessary - Play time, nap time, one-on-one time *We are less than 6 miles away from the airport, and we will accommodate off-hour drop-offs and pick-ups between the hours of 7am - 7:30pm. *For the safety of your dog(s) and ours, please make sure your dog is up-to-date on all of their shots. Set up a free Meet-n-Greet – I’m looking forward to meeting your beloved pet. Please Note!!! Please schedule your booking to within a 60 min window. Our overnight boarding charge covers a 24 hour period, per Rover guidelines, which also covers your pets Premium Insurance/Veterinary care. Checkout time is 24 hours from drop off, as we do not get compensated for the day your pet checks out. We completely understand travel issues can arise and are more than happy to arrange a later pick up time to accommodate your travel needs, but for pickups after your pets scheduled pickup time a charge for every 4 hours up to 8 hours for daycare will be added, or if applicable additional overnight boarding is needed! Holiday weekends are a minimum 3 night stay. Heather and Doc both work from home all day, your pup will receive a lot of supervision, care and play during their visit with us. Our home is dog-proofed as much as is humanly possible. We can easily crate your dog, if and when necessary. Please share any "bad habits" your dog may have (counter-surfing, food or leash aggression, etc.) You can see pictures of the inside of our home on our profile.

We love boarding with Doc and Heather! Our pup is always well taken care of, and we love getting daily pictures when we are away.

Our dog Nessa always has a great time with Doc, Heather, and Jade! I definitely feel good about leaving her when she pulls me to their yard!

Doc and Heather always do such a great job taking care of Gus! We appreciate the photo updates and can always tell he feels at home there.

As always (we are longtime repeat customers) Doc and Heather were amazing! Our pup has been struggling with some health issues. Doc and Heather handled her needs like champions and we are forever grateful!
