Information Mike R. would like to know about your pet

We do have two, pet-friendly, toddler daughters in the household, so it’s imperative the pets we board are friendly, especially towards toddler affection. Please bring food, water dish, leash, and poopy bags. Also bring anything you think would help make your dog feel at home away from home. Thanks!

A typical day

We love going on walks through the peaceful Lake St. Croix Beach neighborhood, and walking down to the beach. We also have a large fenced backyard for playing and relaxing.

Pet care experience

We are a very active family who loves dogs, going on walks, and babysitting pets. Unable to commit to owning a dog right now, but very experienced in doggie B&B. We both have previous experience in owning a dogs and know what it's like to trust someone else with caring for your dogs needs. Rest assured our goal is for your best friend(s) to feel at home, secure and cared for. I currently live the very quite Lake St Beach blocks from a beach and the St Croix river. Split level home with a large unfenced back yard. There is a walking path directly adjacent to the property although walking down to the river is equally appealing. Please feel free to ask an questions you might have regarding boarding your dog with me.

We would recommend Mike and his family to anyone! Our dogs were SO well cared for and we got great updates everyday. We would send them over to his house again and highly recommend them!
