Lake home - daily fun and exercise!

Pet care experience

Hello, my name is Julie, and I provide dog boarding and daycare services in my home. I have watched dogs for many years and will provide your dog plenty of individual attention, love, and play time during their stay. Both boarding and daycare services includes regular exercise based on your dog's preferences. A tired dog is a good dog! During your dog's stay, I strive to make their time with me as enjoyable as possible. Please check out my website at http://diggity-dog. com. I live in a lake home on Lake Gervais in Little Canada, MN. I work from home and have a 7-year-old black lab named Shirley, who is submissive and sweet and an excellent playmate for other dogs. I can only watch dogs who are not aggressive toward other dogs and get along well with people. I live with my significant other, Steve, and his daughter, Sami who is 11 years old. We all love dogs and enjoy playing with them and giving them lots of love and attention. During the spring, summer, and fall months, we start our day off at 6:00 a.m. and go swimming in the lake and fetch balls for about an hour. During the winter, we play fetch at home or go to the dog park, Then we have breakfast and take a nap. We go out for potty breaks as often as needed. We eat dinner late afternoon, and then we play until we are good and tired. Then we relax for the evening, maybe have a bone, and go to bed at around 10:00. We wake up and do it all over the next day. While you are away, I will text you updates and photos so you know your dog is in good hands and in a very happy and loving environment. Hopefully this will help you enjoy your vacation even more knowing you don't have to worry about a thing relating to your dog's care while you are away. For new Rover clients, ask me about a $20 discount code prior to booking. This is good for new Rover clients only and a one-time use. I can host up to four dogs per night from the same family. I typically do not integrate dogs from multiple families unless I know the dogs and feel confident they will get along and play safe.

Julie was great! She was happy to accommodate our dog who is raw fed, high energy and needs firm leadership. They visited the dog park every day and he seemed happy (and tired!) when we picked him up. We are hoping to rebook in the future.

Murphy's stay with Julie was a wonderful vacation for him. He got to go to the dog park a few times and always had a playmate with Julie's dog. Julie made leaving Murphy behind easy. I would recommend Julie and plan to use her again!

Our dog Blue gets a little anxious when we leave him. Julie was amazing at making him feel welcome and happy. Her dog was super friendly with Blue and they played together everyday. She even worked on some of his behaviors for us. She is truly a dog person who knows what she is doing. We highly recommend her as a wonderful dog boarder. It is so nice to have a safe, happy place to leave our dog.

A meet and greet is required for new clients, and this is to ensure your dog(s) and my dog will get along. The meet and greet is also your chance to meet me, ask any questions you may have, and see the fun environment your dog will be in while you are away.

A typical day

We have private lake shore so it's like a personal dog park with a lot of room to run, play, and swim.
