1.5 acre fenced yard!

Pet care experience

My name is Kaitlyn & I have a 65lb pup named Lily. We would love to welcome your dog to stay with us while your away! I foster dogs while they are looking for fur-ever homes so we are no stranger to other pups spending time here and showing them patience and love while they get acclimated. I have experience fostering nine 6 week old puppies, 3 year old dogs, Caring for elderly dogs with additional needs, reactive dogs, and everything in between. Lily eats raw food and I am very familiar with nutrition, supplementing, and holistic health so I am prepared to either help your dog stick to their raw diet, any other diet you've chosen for them, or giving medications/supplements as needed. I have a 5 foot fully fenced yard on a 1.5 acre lot so you can be assured they are getting plenty of exercise while your away as well! We love hiking + have hiked throughout MN, SD, CO, UT, FL, and lots of places in between. We have lots of trails left to cover, and would love your pup to join us!

My dog Walter loved his time at Kaitlyn's! Lots of room to run out all his energy. Thanks so much for taking great care of my little guy.

Kaitlyn was the best! Great daily communication and from the photos I could see my dog was being well cared for. Her home has lots of outdoor space and is by a park, perfect for our big guy. My boy came home happy and healthy, couldn’t ask for more! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Highly recommend and will use Kaitlyn again!!!

Safety, trust & environment

We have a 5 foot fully fenced yard - we always supervise time in the yard, and every gate is locked with a padlock that only my husband & I have the code for. We also have a dog room and kennel run so if your dog wants more unsupervised time outside, they are welcome to use the doggy door to access the 10x10 dog run. We kennel our dogs overnight while we can't keep an eye on them. We have plenty so no need to bring your own :)

Information Kaitlyn G. would like to know about your pet

I will have you fill out a questionnaire so I can learn more about your dog beforehand and make sure I address any and all questions you have to feel comfortable dropping your pup off for their stay. It can be completed right on your phone! Having fostered for 7 years I have unfortunately had a few uncomfortable experiences doing meet and greets in my home so while the chances of anything happening I'm sure is next to none, I do choose not have people I do not know in my home as a precaution. If you would to meet before I would love to do whatever I can to make you comfortable trusting me with your dog! Most commonly people choose to hop on a phone call, but you are welcome to schedule me for a drop in visit at your place, or hang out a little while to chat when I come out to welcome your dogs at arrival.

A typical day

A typical day completely depends on the dog we are watching. Does your dog want to be a couch potato & look out the window at our wildlife? Perfect! Do they prefer running the yard all day, and going on a walk or hike through the woods? No Problem! We are happy to adapt our routine to whatever your dog is wanting to do.
