Doggy Day Care in Minnehaha, Minneapolis

“Lucy, our 1yo lab/shepherd mix loved staying with Lydia! Lydia sent photos and updates, so we felt like we knew how things were going. We appreciate that she was well cared for while we were unavailable.”

“Thank you so much for watching Pancho!”

“First doggie sitter for our Harper and did we score big time!! Alyson is amazing. Harper came home happy and tired. It must have been a great time!! Thanks Alyson.”

“Absolutely incredible experience. Celia was easy to communicate with and sent me pics of my pup throughout the day. I would love to book again - highly recommmend”

“Ellen is great! She goes out of her way to ensure my anxious pup is happy and comfortable. Great communication: She keeps me posted on how he is doing and doesn't hesitate to ask questions about his little quirks. After only one day with Ellen, he hops in the house with tail wagging! Thanks Ellen!”

“Herman LOVES hanging out at Samantha's! So wonderful to have a place where he feels comfortable and gets as much love and care as he does at home!”

About: Adventurous and active millennial who enjoys going for runs or cuddling up to a good movie! I love hanging out with my three dogs, Lola (7 year old female Golden Retriever, 50 lbs), Levi (5 year old male Golden Retriever, 50 lbs) who currently live with me and Marvin (11 year old male Border Collie Blue Heeler, 45 lbs) who currently lives with my parents but visits often. We spend most of our free time outside in our yard and at the nearby lakes and trails. We do love to relax at home as well and binge our favorite series! Looking forward to meeting you and your furry best friend! Skills: Cared for dogs for 10+ years (2 of my own) Worked as a Kennel Assistant - very familiar with dog behavior and training I am currently transitioning to hybrid work and will be at my home full-time during the week along with available weekends. Most of my professional career prior to this has been caring for many different animal species! I have a decent sized fenced in yard with multiple dogs to hang with your pup. Every dog gets a "safe space" set up where they can eat, sleep and relax. Each area is in its own room equipped with blankets and food and water bowls. I also have a dog camera that I like to set up if I need to leave your pooch for a few hours. I try my best to never leave your pup for more than a few hours. We are also walking minutes away from a lake where we can enjoy afternoon strolls and swims as well! I am conveniently located less than 10 minutes from the MSP Airport for anyone hopping on a flight! There is plenty of street parking if clients would like to leave their vehicle when they drop off their pet and uber/lyft to the airport from here..ride shares usually range from $10-$40 from this location depending on time of day etc… I do offer rides when ride share is unavailable :)

“Jackson was flexible and accommodating with our plans and Marley’s needs.”

“We would highly recommend Brianna! She sent us several pictures and updates of how Odin was doing and he obviously enjoyed his day with her. We will certainly use her for daycare again.”

“Johanna and her family took great care of our dog. We appreciate the extra exercise and attention our dog got throughout the day, as well as the sweet photo updates.”

“Kim was so wonderful with our puppy! She was great at communicating and sent lots of great photos!”

“Seth was patient, flexible, and communicative while he provided doggy day care for my pup. He is clearly passionate about dogs. We had a great experience!”

“Thank you, Susan. Your love for dogs really shines through. 😊 You were able to make a positive connection with Tia quickly. I appreciate all the love and attention you gave her while I was away.”

“Michelle is an excellent Dog Mom. She has made her home open to temporary foster, found strays, and Life-long doggos of diverse breeds and sizes. She is a dog whisperer. She understands how to make an animal feel comfortable in a new environment or task. The caregiving she provides is a huge benefit to the dog. Her ability to train good habits in the animals turns out consistently amazing results. She has dedicated attention and time to ensuring that a pet leaves more loved and well-behaved than when she receives them, resulting in better and quicker foster placement.”

“Short version: Tammy and her basset hounds are excellent hosts. I would return my two dogs to her care anytime and also recommend the same to others. Long version: My dogs Jack and Oliver stayed with Tammy and her two basset hounds Charlie and Phoebe. I am from Oregon and I communicated with Tammy using dogvacay. Everything was setup in Minneapolis before I left Oregon. When I arrived at her house Tammy greeted us in the yard and the dogs got to meet/greet in a great way. After a little while to see how they did, I left them for about six hours. The four played and socialized all day and were having a fabulous time when I came to pick them up. Pawsome!”

“Very pleased with our experience with Lisa and her dog, Kapusta. Grateful for the communication prior to the first visit; also during the visit as I needed to change the pick-up time several times. Appreciated that our dogs seemed compatible - Maci is pooped out today (the day after). :) Thank you for the photos. Would definitely ask Lisa to watch Maci again if she's willing.”

“Clay had a great day! Susie is clearly a dog lover with lots of experience. She responds quickly and really takes time to get to know your pup!”

I have had boxers and puggles and my husband has had Yorkies and Maltese. We love dogs of all size and age. let us know what activity level your dog thrives on and we can provide it. Nearby, we have a small fenced dog park for dogs to play and lots of great walking paths!
