Reviews
Thank you for being such excellent care givers and lovers of dogs. We really appreciate you!
Michael and David are real pros. Their love dogs really comes through. My puppies get lots of love and socialization at the house.
Michael and David were great sitters! My dog tends to shy away from large dogs, so their small dog sitting situation was great. All the dogs are small, but friendly. ?
Michael and David have a great set up and Lorelai had so much fun playing with some of their doggy play group during her stay.

A typical day
The day is filled with activities that will satisfy the most playful of dogs; from the spirited window watcher to the backyard explorer. There are always other dogs to hang-out with and human laps to crawl upon and curl up. The weekday afternoon is spent with our (private/application only) small dog playgroup. This is a stable pack environment where dogs of all age groups socialize, play chase, wrestle on the dog trampolines, run through the agility tunnel, cool off in the pool, find that perfect spot to roll in or just soak up the beautiful day. Later we will go for a nice long walk in the neighborhood or in Fort Snelling State Park just up the road. After dinner is just plain snuggling time, and sweet dog dreams.
