I am a calm and confident pack leader with a clean and spacious house. I've owned small dogs and cared for large dogs. I have a stellar track record for boarding dogs as indicated by my many returning customers. I am trained in dog behavior, training and nutrition and practice holistic dog-care to ensure safe and anxiety-free care for your pet. Book early as I fill up quickly. Our home is perfect for your pet. - conveniently located off the 35 in St. Paul, less than five mile from several colleges. - no kennel/crates unless requested by owner during home alone time or bedtime. - no "late" pick up fees. No charge for "late" pick ups as long as it is within 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. (drop offs and pick ups between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m. by special request only) - no extra cost for human attention and love- your dog gets private snuggle time, belly rubs, ear scratches - no extra cost for administration of medications and care for special needs dogs (blind, older dog, etc.) - individual walks around the neighborhood - owners receive daily photos of dog via Rover account or phone text. The photo statistic on Rover also doesn't reflect that many clients prefer photos via email when they travel abroad. I send multiple daily photos with every reservation. Unlike many homes on Rover, I am home the majority of the time. I do not offer 24 hour a day supervision but my remote job only takes me out of my home 3-4 times a week at 3-6 hours each time. There may also be evenings when I am out. Dogs best suited for my space are those who can stay alone up to 4-6 hours. When I am not home, all dogs are secured in their own comfortable space and not allowed to have contact with the other dogs. We have two girls ages 5 and 7 who are gentle with dogs. All dogs get unlimited access to explore and play in our sizable yard. There are lots of squirrels to chase, bunny tracks to smell, and birds to watch.
