Doggy Day Care Minnehaha

About: We have dogs, snakes, and a bunny. We have kept many different pets for the past 10 years and love caring for all animals! Even the grouchy ones 😊 Our dogs eat at 12:30 and at 6:30 each day with frequent trips outside. They are friendly and we keep them trained to eat only out of their own bowls. Pet care is daily life in our home (with my spouse) and we both take pride in our relationships with animals I will frequently check for assent amongst pets to ensure safety and wellbeing. If animals need to be separated, we live in our finished basement and work upstairs, making it easy to both separate and engage with all the animals frequently. Any instructions will be religiously followed. I am getting my masters in behavior analysis so I am ALWAYS aware of the dynamics of our animals and animal guests!

“Olivia is so kind and communicative! She took great care of Ebbie and I had peace of mind at work that my dog would have a fun and relaxing day with her!”

“Hannah is our favorite!! She always keeps us updated, she sends fun pics of the pups playing. We consistently bring our pup to Hannah’s house and he LOVES it. Would give 10 stars if I could.”

About: I’m a stay at home girlfriend with an open schedule and lots of free time. I specialize in one-on-one care for small dogs and puppies/cats & kittens. I have a 6 lb Malchi myself and can provide long walks, cozy time, and plenty of attention. What I offer is intentionally simple and limited, so each dog receives my full care in a relaxed, low-stress environment; whether they’re more calm or playful/energetic. Complimentary bath available upon request during your dog’s stay. Please note: I only accept very small dogs (10 lbs and under) for doggy daycare/boarding. ✨ Open schedule with daily in-home availability. I’m flexible throughout the day and enjoy keeping a relaxed, attentive routine, able to give dogs plenty of attention as needed and easy to coordinate with. My home is designed to feel settled, comfortable, and closely supervised, with care tailored to each dog’s personality. My page is great for those looking to avoid busy daycare environments while still giving their dog structure, attention, and light activity. I’m very active and happy to match your dog’s energy level.

“Our dogs are a little shy and usually somewhat stressed in unfamiliar surroundings but Jennifer and David provide a very loving and calm environment. They are our go-to sitters!”

“Cheryl was amazing! She took great care of our dog Shelby, was very welcoming to our family, was great with communication throughout the day with messages and photos, and we are so grateful for her doggy daycare. We would highly recommend Cheryl to care for your dog and we will definitely be seeking her services again. Thank you Cheryl.”

“Sarah is THE BEST dog sitter! Kind, considerate, detail oriented, great communicator. She took care of my pup Piper during the day for a few days while I was in town to watch a volleyball tournament, and I couldn't be happier with how it worked out. I really appreciated the status update text messages that Sarah sent from time to time, and it was abundantly clear from the pics she shared that Piper was totally comfortable and really enjoying her time there. Also -- a big shout out to Sarah's pup, Sully, for sharing his home and his mom with Piper for a few days! He was a great host and he & Piper got along very well. I would hire Sarah again in a heartbeat if/when we visit Spokane again!”

“Our pup stayed overnight and had a great time! We received photos, videos and updates on our doggo throughout the day. When we dropped him off he was excited & upon picking him up he was playing. We will be back!”

About: My demeanor is very positive and caring. I believe animals can sense this about me and have no problem being comfortable with me entering their home and taking care of them! I was an animal technician for 2 years at a boarding and grooming facility. During this position I took care of cats & dogs by managing their playtime, feeding, and walking schedules. I also have experience with animals that need medication & was taught by a veterinarian to make swallowing medicine an easier experience for the animal. I have no problem giving shots to animals that are diabetic or that may have other conditions where injections are needed. I have grown up with animals & have dog/cat sat for over 10 years. I enjoy playing fetch, going on runs or just giving them a good belly rub! I work remote so my schedule is very flexible. I am happy to work around what works best for you & look forward to helping you enjoy your trip with ease that your fur baby is well cared for! I do not typically board from my home but am happy to check on your pup or cat in their environment. I believe animals, like people are more comfortable in their own home.

“Georgia was amazing with my dog! She was excellent with communication and easy to work with and very flexible with my schedule. I highly would recommend her. She treated my dog like family and took great care of him.”

“Abigail is very kind, obviously loves dogs and provided wonderful care to my sweet pup. Both she and her sweet dog spent quality time exercising, playing, and overall positively influencing my young dog. The physical environment of her home and yard is lovely, welcoming, and a fun dog toy filled playground. I will absolutely rebook with Abigail.”

About: I have had dogs since I was a little girl. I used to love running around with my German Shepherd named Rambo. I currently have 2 little dogs and I love them so much! I am a stay at home mom. My kids are older though. I have plenty of time for new animal friends! I love taking walks and snuggling with animals! I have cats that will stay upstairs if your dog visits. I also have 2 very friendly girls that can play with your dog. There is a big park next to my house that has plenty of room to run!

“Haley was wonderful to work with. She responded to everything right away and sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the day. I knew my pup was in good hands. Parker had a great day and was so happy there that it took me a bit to convince him it was time to come home ;) Highly recommend!!!”

About: I had my own dog growing up that I was responsible for. Since moving out from my parent's home, I've cared for other family and friends dogs. I'm a new momma and looking to get myself out of the house, taking my little ones on adventures. I love walking and love dogs, and want my kids to be comfortable around dogs Since beginning this endeavor, it has helped both my kids to love dogs as well. We began a new adventure of dog fostering and are in the process of adopting him, so if needing boarding, it is important for a meet and greet to make sure the dogs get along. I would need to use your supplies-dog toys, treats, leashes, etc. But your dog would get their exercise/play time done during the day with me.

About: Hello! I'm Taylor! My husband and I moved here from the Midwest a couple years ago and loved it so much we bought our first home! We brought our tuxedo cat, Benedict Mongoose "Goose" Cumberbatch, and our 15-year-old (but you wouldn't know it) puggle, Chuck, along for the ride, and they cannot wait to make friends with your fur babies!! My love for animals is as old as I am. I grew up with sibling pairs of Great Danes, Shih Tzus, Rot/Lab mixes, and German Shepherds. I started caring for and riding horses at 10, helping at my Aunt Lucy's Paso Fino ranch, eventually riding Thoroughbreds and Arabians, learning new saddles and techniques, and volunteering my time caring/mucking for therapy horses at a nonprofit working with disabled children and adults through riding. I carried my love of animals through every stage of life. But I also know how stressful it can be to travel without (or with) our furry friends so my goal, no matter the situation, is to remove as much of that stress from both you and your pets so that you can focus on the big stuff. Your experience with me will also include exceptionally amateur pet photography! Message me with any questions you may have! I am lucky to be able to work remotely as an independent contractor; this gives me flexibility throughout the day. I am able to provide near constant supervision, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of love and attention. Your fur baby will never be left alone for long periods, and I can easily adapt to their usual daily needs such as feeding and walking schedule. I have a fully fenced yard and two friendly resident pets: Chuck, our spry 15-year-old puggle who enjoys helping out in the garden, bunny hopping in the yard, hard-core cuddle sessions, and playing with his brother Goose (the cat), who likes dogs but also has plenty of high up hiding space, inaccessible to furry visitors. I ensure a safe, balanced environment by supervising all pet interactions closely. My home offers a structured routine, plenty of open space to play, and I can easily crate your dog if needed for bedtime or safety.

“Jane and Peter took great care of my dog. She felt right at home and had a wonderful time with them! They sent photos and gave me an update about what went well which was very helpful.”

“Incredibly easy to coordinate with, and flexible with my changing plans. I was happy to hear Wilson had company during his stay and enjoyed getting a picture of him out on a walk with Irene. Would book again!”
