Doggy Day Care Minnetrista

“Our dog is an energetic dog that also needs some supervising and Tracy’s place was a great doggy daycare spot for his needs! She has a big fenced in yard that he can run around in, and dogs that he can play with! Would recommend”

“Miranda was absolutely amazing with my puppy, Ozzie. From the very beginning, she showed genuine care, kindness, and attention that made both Ozzie and me feel completely at ease. What speaks louder than any words is what happened every morning: Ozzie would run excitedly toward Miranda the moment he saw her. Dogs are the best judges of character, and his enthusiasm said everything about how much he loved being with her. It was clear that Miranda treated Ozzie with love and excellent care. Knowing he was so happy and comfortable with her gave me complete peace of mind. Pluto (Miranda’s dog) was a great buddy, too! I cannot recommend Miranda highly enough. If you're looking for a trustworthy, caring, and exceptional dog sitter, she is simply the best! 🐾❤️”

“Joey is great! I never worry about my dog when he stays there. He was so excited to go when he did day care and would run to the door when we arrived. Definitely recommend.”

I appreciate their flexibility and responsiveness, and they’re always willing to find a solution to any hiccups along the way. I also love all the photos of frisbee and playtime in the yard.

“Lori is watching my boy goose for a longer stay coming up in a few months so we did a daycare day for a trial to get him acclimated etc. Lori is phenomenal with communication and the sweetest picture updates. It was so helpful to know goose was happy and healthy while I was in office all day with meetings and he can’t wait to play with her pup jiggs again! I would absolutely recommend Lori for any and all of your pet sitting needs!”

“We were traveling to the area with our sweetie Toto. I was running a charity event near Dee Dee and she was able to take care of Toto while I was busy so she didn’t have to sit alone in the hotel. Dee Dee was very flexible and had very good communication! I got fun photos and reports about Toto throughout the door through the app straight to my phone. And I knew Toto was happy, cared for and safe. Thank you so much! We will definitely be repeats next time we add in the area❤️”

About: I have had pets all while growing up. I have had two bigger dogs and I have a cat at my parents house. I have help neighbors watch and walk there dogs when they are gone.

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.

“A serious mishap happened to my dog. Kyle was very communicative to ensure that my dog is taken care of until I came to pick him up earlier than planned”

“Mayumi took very good care of my dog Max and made him feel comfortable at home. He got used to them very quickly and played with her family. They were very nice to him. She posted updates of his activities and shared pictures. I would highly recommend Mayumi if you are looking for a day care for your dog”

About: I've been caring for others pets since I was 10yo. Prissy & Ginger (a Boston Terrier & a Pug) were my first loves as I would walk my neighbors dogs for companionship when I could not have my own. As an adult, I still pet-sit for friends and family, most frequently a 5yo Tamaskan when his owner travels. I was a part-time vet-tech in college and work in a (human) clinic as an adult, so I understand special needs, different medications, and the roll of compassion for all conditions. I work out of the home all week, so can accomodate unique schedule needs. My home has different areas that a pet can be isolated from others, if needed. One of the things I hear most often in feedback is that pet owners love that I'm home all day for their dog that might have separation anxiety. And yes, I'm right there working from my desk in the middle of the home and only accept one or two pets at a time. I also have a large (unfenced) yard for endless roaming and sniffing, and a 2nd story deck overlooking my back acre for fun and safe wildlife viewing for leisurely sunny afternoons. I'm around the house most times while I work out of the home. Unique schedules can be easily managed, and special dietary or medical needs tended to. When I have appointments, dogs are welcome to come along if they love car rides - I have a special back compartment in my SUV with windows on 3 sides to catch all the action. In boarding other peoples pets, I do my best to keep their usual routine to maximize their comfort and minimize stress while mom/dad are away. I have several spaces that can be closed off for isolation if needed for care, sleeping or feeding separately, or they can have the whole house to roam, if that is their preference. My resident cat lives in my office when we have guests, since he's not the social type. And I have a maximum of two additional visitors at a time for utmost attention and greatest freedom. We can explore the yard and spend a little time walking, chewing, pulling, and fetching - bring your own favorite toys if you like, we'll play with those! If limiting roaming space (mischief space?) is ideal, I have a baby gate - we can segregate off the lower level, upper level, kitchen, laundry room, any of 3 bedrooms only or whatever configuration works best. And, since this is a question I get frequently - there is NO people food allowed when visiting. Only foods and treats provided by owner will be allowed.

“Thank you for taking care of Rex. Rex is an anxious dog and Wesley and family were very patient and took great care of him. We highly recommend Wesley!”
