Doggy Day Care Minnetonka Beach

“I can't say enough about the fantastic care and love my pup received while at Kate and John's! I have a very active spaniel and playing outdoors, in a fenced in, safe environment is all I could ask for. The bonus is their kind and gentle dog that is ready to play with my pup when he arrives. I will definately book again!”

About: Looking for a trusted and loving caregiver to board your dog while you're away? Look no further! As a lifelong dog lover, I have always had furry companions by my side. From growing up with dogs to currently caring for my Pomeranian, I understand the importance of finding a trustworthy and reliable caregiver for your furry family member. Working from home allows me to devote plenty of attention to your dog's care. In addition to offering dog walking and drop-in services, I am excited to offer boarding services for your pup. You can rest assured that your furry friend will receive round-the-clock care and attention while staying with me. My availability for walks and drop-ins is on weekdays between 9-4, and I am happy to accept same-day requests when possible. While I typically require 1-day notice for scheduling, I am always willing to work with you to accommodate your needs. I pride myself on providing each dog in my care with undivided attention, ensuring that they are the only dog in my care during their stay. I have a large, unfenced yard where your dog can play and explore, always under close supervision while leashed.

I work from home so I can give your pup lots of attention. I am available for walks/drop ins weekdays between 9-4. I usually need 1 day notice in advance for scheduling but will accept same day requests if I am able. I will make sure your dog is the only one in my care. No double bookings! I have a large unfenced yard so they will be leashed at all times when outside the home.

About: My home with fenced in backyard is located on the Dakota Trail by Crystal Bay, Lake Mntka. I'm home full time and guarantee two 30-40 minute walks a day (if your pup is up for it, if not I will accommodate). I have been a dog lover my entire life! I have many years of experience from taking care of my own furbaby (Pug named Bagels!) to caring for others cherished pups. Your dog will love staying in my home! We spend time playing, relaxing & snuggling. Your dog will have an amazing stay with lots of love and care and is welcome all over my home. Your pup will enjoy my fenced in backyard and outdoor patio so when the weather is nice your pup can lounge in the sun. Your pup will always be on a leash when on walks and watched very closely. I generally board one dog at a time so that I can offer high quality care. Your pup will be spoiled with loving attention! Be prepared for lots of photos of your dog relaxing in my cozy home or getting fresh air on the trail! I look forward to meeting you and your furbaby. I enjoy caring for pups very much however I do require the following: Dogs must be current on shots, heartworm & flea & tick treatments. I generally care for one dog at a time but make exceptions for families with multiple dogs. I don't watch dogs with any history of aggression. Only house trained pups please. I’m home full-time so I’m flexible with my hours. Drop off and Pick up can be arranged to fit your schedule. No problem when changes occur with your travel at last minute. I do not require a cancellation or change fee because LIFE happens! Safety is one of my top priorities. I have a fenced in backyard and a very friendly Pug for your dog to play with. Your dog will always be leashed when walking on the Dakota trail.

“Took good care of both my babies, and sent me updates on them before I could ask lol very grateful🥹. And was sent home with a goodie bag for them❤️”

About: With 30 years of dog‑care experience, I’ve done it all—groomer’s apprentice, breeder house‑sitter, and professional treat‑dispenser. Your pup gets a work‑from‑home buddy, a fenced yard for maximum zoomies, and all the cuddles they can handle. Special needs? Meds? Extra attention? I’ve got it covered. Basically, your dog’s about to live their best life. Pet care fits naturally into my day because I work from home, so I’m able to give dogs consistent attention from morning to night. With 30 years of experience—including working as a groomer’s apprentice and house‑sitting for dog breeders—caring for pups is part of my everyday rhythm. I take regular breaks for potty trips, playtime, and zoomies in the fenced yard, and I offer both daycare and boarding, depending on what your pup needs. Your dog’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I provide a secure home environment, a safely enclosed yard for outdoor fun, and plenty of cozy indoor spaces for rest and snuggles. I’m experienced with medications, special‑needs care, and senior pups, and I treat every dog like my own—patient, calm, and attentive. You can trust that your pup will receive reliable, loving care and a true home‑away‑from‑home experience.

“Sonja and Adam were both very nice and their dogs too. I received a cute video of my dog playing with one of their dog during the day. They always answered my message quickly. They took care of Lola very well.”

“Regina is a second "mom" to our fur-child, and we trust Rocket to her care so much so that we shape our travel plans around HER availability. She's that good!”

About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. With decades of experience as a pet owner and sitter, I know how to keep tails wagging and owners worry-free. I work from home full-time, so I can be home with your furry friend all day. I can give walks at any time and provide care whenever they need it. Dogs in our home are welcome to roam free if they are house-trained. We allow dogs in all parts of our house. We can set up gates or crates if you prefer your dog to have their own space.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who understands how important it is to know your pet is safe and happy while you’re away.

I’m responsible, communicative, and happy to send photo updates so you always know how your dog is doing. My goal is to keep your pet comfortable, safe, and having fun while you’re away! I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! Your dog’s day will include plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise. Depending on their needs, we’ll go for walks, play with toys, and enjoy some relaxing downtime. I stick closely to your dog’s usual routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I currently work part-time from home so I have plenty of time to dedicate to your dogs needs!

I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, and routines. I also provide regular updates with photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: Retired but a “young” 61 . Lost my dog this year and can’t have pets where I currently live so I’ve been getting my cat and dog fixes watching family and friends pets !

Will meet you prior and check my references- I will do a good job for you and you can relax while away ! I’m retired so my time is my own -7 day a week availability-and I can hang with your pet all day if wanted - will walk and take outside to potty Sadly my dog passed recently- I’ve stayed at my sisters many times with her dogs —one is a senior and one is a puppy - big fenced yard and lots of in and out .

About: Home full-time and just steps from miles of walking trails, your dog will enjoy plenty of exercise, attention, and companionship throughout the day. We currently have Loki, our friendly 5-year-old Golden Retriever, who loves other dogs, playing outside, and spending time with our two boys. Our boys absolutely love dogs and are gentle, affectionate, and excited to help make visiting dogs feel like part of the family. Boarding with us means your dog will be welcomed into a real home — not treated like just another booking. We only board one dog at a time, which allows us to give your dog plenty of attention, keep the environment calm, and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. We do not have a fenced yard, but we have a large, wooded yard (.6 acres) where dogs can safely enjoy time outside on a lead. We also live right by a regional walking/biking trail, so frequent walks and outdoor time are easy and part of our routine. I am comfortable caring for all dogs, including senior dogs, rescue dogs, dogs with separation anxiety, and dogs who need a little extra patience or reassurance. I have experience giving medications, crate training, leash walking, basic obedience, and helping dogs settle into a new environment. I am active and outdoorsy, so dogs who enjoy walks, playtime, and being part of family life will fit in well here. For everyone’s safety and comfort, visiting dogs must be potty trained, kid-friendly, and non-aggressive. They do not need to be crate trained. We are not currently accepting puppies. Our goal is simple: to give your dog a safe, loving, active place to stay where they get the kind of care we would want for our own dog. My husband and I both work from home on alternating schedules, so caring for dogs are part of our normal daily rhythm. We are available throughout the day for potty breaks, attention, feeding, walks, and check-ins. We live right on a regional trail, which makes daily walks easy, and we also spend time outside in our large yard with dogs safely on a lead. Pet care naturally fits into our family routine — walks, playtime, downtime, and lots of love. Your dog can expect a warm, active family home with plenty of attention, outdoor time, and affection. Because we only board one guest dog at a time, your dog will get personalized care, a calm environment, and lots of time with our friendly Golden Retriever, Loki. We want dogs to feel comfortable, safe, and included while you are away. We have a large yard, but it is not fenced, so visiting dogs are always kept safe on a lead when outside. Our home includes two dog-loving boys and our friendly Golden, so visiting dogs should be kid-friendly, potty trained, and comfortable around another dog. We can crate your dog if that is part of their normal routine, but crate training is not required. We are happy to follow your dog’s feeding, medication, walking, and sleep routines as closely as possible to help them feel secure.

“An D. took excellent care of our shy guy. Along with her knowledgeable communication, the pictures and video updates were greatly appreciated. We’ll be back, thanks again!”
