Doggy Day Care Midway

“Takenya is so sweet with our girl. Lilah has never stayed without a family member or trusted friend before so we were nervous. Lilah had so much fun. We got such cute videos of her time there. Our dog came home & happy & tired. She took a big nap. We already booked Takenya again!”

About: I have been walking and boarding dogs since I was in high school. I have experience with all sizes of dogs and many different temperaments and medical needs. I have one dog of my own at home and we go on 2-3 walks a day, as well as play outdoors. She'd love to make friends with your pets! I have my own dog at home who I never leave for more than 4 hours at a time (and typically no more than 4 total in a day). I work predominantly from home and have to go into the office only a couple days a week for a couple of hours. My dog and I take a morning and evening walk every day in the summer (and when it's cooler, during the middle of the day, too) and in the winter we typically walk in the middle of the day for maximum warmth and sunlight. I have a fenced yard and one dog of my own who is extremely friendly and chill. She has free roam of the house and sleeps in bed at night but if your dog is used to being crated I can accommodate that! If you're looking for dog walking, we can discuss what length of route would be best for your dog and any preferences your dog has!

About: Lifelong animal lover and pet owner. Now that I’m retired, it’s time to turn my passion into a service for other pet owners. Your dog deserves a wonderful boarding experience. Low stress, quiet home, play/exercise, and lots of affection. Nothing but the best for Fluffy! Recently retired and ready to provide overnight boarding for small to medium-sized dogs. I have the time and desire to provide excellent care for your dog. Fluffy will receive lots of attention and affection. Your dog will be in a safe and quiet home environment. Access to small grass yard (no pesticides) under my supervision. Special care requests, feeding schedules, etc. can be accommodated. I have been caring for animals (pets) my entire life. Their wellbeing has always been a priority for me.

About: I love animals and I love a good nature walk. You can be sure your animal will not only be in good care but also in nature and ready for a nap when you get home. I am a part yoga instructor/business owner. With that I am able to create a flexible work for myself all the time. Meaning I can not only help you out with your animal but if you want I could teach you some yoga. I have an environment best suited for either a city/apartment living dog or cat. I live very close to Loring and Walker Arts, so there are plenty of walking trails near me.

“Lydia does an amazing job caring for our puppy! We started bringing Riley to Lydia when she was about 10 weeks old for the couple of days a week we needed to work outside of the house. Riley always came home happy and worn out. She got plenty of fun, playtime, and naps throughout the day and Lydia sends lots of pictures so you can see how your pup is doing!”

“Hopps has enjoyed his days with Kara and the family. He looks forward to playing in the yard with Oscar, walks with the kiddos and having someone to follow around all day. Kara is so great at documenting the day with pictures and reporting on his activities. I know he’s in good hands 😊”

“Karen and Ryan have been the best sitters for my puppy. He’s always so happy to go to their house. They’ve been feeding him and helping with a medical need during the day and are flexible when I’m running late from work. Would recommend them to friends and family!”

About: I've cared for over 15 different dog breeds since I was 10 years old, from high energy hunting dogs to cozy lap snugglers. Friends and family have trusted me with their beloved pets for years. With 8 years in animal welfare, I understand behavior and emotions, including noise fears, nervousness with new people, leash reactivity, shy/timid, resource guarding, seniors, puppies, and special needs pets. I also care for cats of all personalities independent explorers, playful toy lovers, and devoted snugglers. My goal is to give your pet a safe, loving, stress free home where they feel truly cared for while you're away. Each dog in my care receives personalized attention and love. For daycare and boarding, I limit to two dogs at a time to ensure quality care while they are in a new environment. When house sitting in your home, I can happily care for up to four dogs, keeping everyone safe, comfortable, and happy in their own home. I’m happy to provide photo updates, and our home is fully prepared for play, rest, and supervision. I’m home during the day, which allows me to provide pets with consistent attention, companionship, and enrichment. Every pet in my care enjoys a healthy balance of play, mental stimulation, walks, and quiet time to rest and recharge. Evenings are cozy and relaxed, filled with gentle supervision and snuggles, so pets feel safe, happy, and loved from morning to night. I have a fully fenced yard with secure gate locks to keep pets safe, and I’m happy to make adjustments using leads or harnesses for curious or adventurous pups. I also maintain an up-to-date list of urgent care and emergency veterinary clinics throughout the metro area for added peace of mind. Potential clients are always welcome to schedule a video home tour to see the setup and environment their pet would be in. My home allows for kenneling if needed, and I can provide large and extra large crates. I also offer separate spaces for feeding time and am located near several nearby parks for walks. For cats, I can provide a quiet, separate space if they need time to decompress. In addition to care in my home, I also offer house sitting so pets can remain comfortable in their own environment and routines. I’m located about 15 minutes from MSP Airport, which many traveling pet parents find convenient for drop-off and pick-up. Street parking is available in the area, and rideshares to the airport are typically around $20.

About: I grew up with dogs, cats, and guinea pigs and love furry members of our planet. I understand that pets are family and deserve the best care. I pledge to care for your pet with the same level of love and attention as my own. I currently have two cuddly kitties and an adorable sweet dachsund mix who's a Ruff Start rescue. I work from home most days. I love taking my dog for walks and we would love others to join us. I know that pets need regular loving, feeding, and opportunity to toilet and am happy to make the time for these necessities. I have a fenced in yard with decent space to play and run, and also enjoy walks around the neighborhood. Depending on your pets's needs, they will roam free in the home or can be safely contained in a blanketed crate with a bowl of water and some treats at night. During the day, they will be supervised to avoid getting into anything.

“Fernanda took great care of our dog. He was a little anxious because he had been traveling for several weeks and in lots of new places. She noticed his anxiety, and took him out in her yard to play. Perfect. He even ate a meal with her without needing special feeding (which he’d been struggling to do in new surroundings). Fernanda was easy to work with and a great communicator. I’d definitely use Fernanda again next time we’re in town.”
