Doggy Day Care in Minot

“Thank you! Our Gunnar is so happy (and tired)!”

About: I've raised dogs and cats my entire life — goldens, Bernese mountain dogs, labs, and mixes — and I'm completely devoted to animals. After a decade as an institutional trader, I'm taking a year to focus on my own business and on what I love most: caring for dogs every day. That background means I'm reliable, calm under pressure, and disciplined about medication schedules, feeding routines, and clear daily updates (and great at handling unique client needs). Comfortable with puppies, seniors, anxious dogs, and high-energy breeds. I'm home full-time this year while I build my own business, so your dog has constant company — no commute, no daycare drop-offs, no long stretches alone. I'm flexible on pickup and drop-off times, including evenings, early mornings, weekends, and holidays. Walks, yard time, and play run on your dog's schedule, not mine. I was a trader for a decade both in the US and Asia so too late / too early doesn’t exist to me :) Your dog stays in a quiet Cohasset home with a yard for play and potty breaks throughout the day + secure porch for sun bathing! My 5yr old golden retriever, Oscar, is gentle with humans, well- socialized, and great with other dogs (he LOVES everything and everyone) — happy to do a meet-and- greet before we confirm booking to make sure everyone's a good match, or not. I’m happy if you and your pet are comfortable, that’s it. I follow your feeding, medication, and exercise routine exactly as you'd do at home, send photo updates daily, and can crate if that's part of your dog's normal routine. Smoke-free and calm environment. We have endless routes for adventures (and swimming, if cleared by you)!

About: My husband and I are both animal lovers and live in a house with great outdoor space. We are also near some great dog parks, walking trails, and the beach! We love taking care of our friends pets and would be happy to help out. My husband and I work from home and are always available for walks during the day, letting them out for the bathroom, and taking them to the park. We also have a 2 year old medium size cattle dog mix who loves to play! She can be nervous at first meetings but once she gets comfortable, she is very playful. We are a pet-loving household and spend a lot of time walking and out at the park. We know how to keep things safe for pets through years of experience watching our friends dogs as well as family dogs and we are confident that your pet will be happy and safe with us.

“Zach was great! Loved the intro call before dropping Morgan off and the update photos I got during her visit. He was communicative throughout the process and made me feel comfortable leaving my golden with someone, which is very hard for me, she’s my baby! The best part was when Morgan went back to say bye to Zach before leaving. It made me very happy and we’ll definitely leave Morgan with him again.”

“We have been leaving our dog Boo with Kristen while we go to work and we have been loving it!! He always has a great day and I love getting pictures of him throughout the day. They take such good care of him and I never have to worry. I would highly recommend anyone leave their dog with Kristen and Tim, so glad we found them!”

About: Hi! I’m Ben, a genuine dog lover that goes above and beyond for all pets under my care. I’ve been called a “dog whisperer” by more than a few people because I naturally connect with dogs on a deep level, especially those who may be hesitant, skittish, or shy around others. Time and time again, those dogs seem to gravitate toward me, and earning their trust is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do. I value patience and consistency for these adorable, loving creatures and truly see them as members of the family, not just pets. I take my responsibility seriously and always research the ins and outs of every breed before pet sitting so I can provide thoughtful, customized care tailored to each dog’s specific needs and personality. I love meeting dogs at their energy level, whether that means lots of playtime, long walks, games, and exercise, or ensuring structured rest and calm downtime when that’s what they need most. I’m happy to learn about your training goals and reinforce behavior using positive reinforcement strategies so your dog feels supported, safe, and understood. I’ve worked with all types of dogs and a wide range of challenges, including food aggression, excessive barking, and very cautious or shy temperaments. I truly love all dogs and meet them where they are, with patience, empathy, and consistency. I also welcome any and all instructions you’d like to share. No list is too long when it comes to your valued family member, and I take pride in following routines closely so your dog feels comfortable and secure while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! Pet care is my full-time focus, allowing me to offer exceptional flexibility in scheduling that accommodates a variety of schedules and allows me the availability to best support you and your pet’s needs. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, my top priority is ensuring comfort, consistency, and a stress-free experience. If your pet stays in my home, they’ll enjoy a fenced-in yard and plenty of fresh air, plus we live just blocks from the beach, perfect for dogs who love seaside walks and playtime. We also have a very friendly French bulldog who loves other dogs and provides great companionship, especially for shy or anxious pups who benefit from having a buddy. I’m always mindful that some dogs may feel out of their comfort zone at first, and I take great care to help them settle in gently. Many dogs who have stayed with us have quickly warmed up to our cozy home and routine. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’m dedicated to keeping them on their normal routine to provide familiarity and reduce stress. I treat every home with the utmost respect, maintaining cleanliness, organization, and care as if it were my own. No matter where I’m caring for your pet, I carefully review and follow all instructions to ensure consistency, comfort, and safety while you’re away. I also believe strongly in keeping you connected, so I send frequent photos and videos because I know how much it means to see your pet happy when you’re apart, even if it’s just for a few hours.

“I had Theresa watch my pup Henry for the day while I was visiting Boston. Simply put, she was absolutely wonderful. She took great care of Henry and sent me frequent updates and photos which put me at total ease. I highly recommend her and will definitely reach out next time I come to the Boston area!”

About: Hi, I’m a lifelong dog lover and I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life. I’m experienced with all kinds of personalities, from shy and nervous to high energy and playful. I have a one year old Poochon who is sweet, friendly, and very well behaved. I believe in full transparency and clear communication, and I take pride in doing great work. I will always follow your instructions, prioritize safety, and send clear updates with photos. If you are open to it, I would love to bring my friendly Poochon along for social pups. If not, no problem at all. I’m happy to come solo and follow your preference. Thank you for considering me. I’d love the opportunity to meet your pooch and help keep them happy, safe, and cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m very flexible and available every day of the week. I love the outdoors and staying active, so walks and drop ins are an easy, consistent part of my day. I can accommodate last minute requests, follow your pet’s routine closely, and I always provide reliable care with clear updates each visit. Clean, calm, pet friendly home with a large backyard and plenty of room to play. My friendly 1 year old Poochon is home, so I only accept dogs who are comfortable around other dogs. I closely follow your routine (feeding, potty schedule, and house rules) and send photo updates. I have video cameras in the home for safety, and someone is home 24/7 for supervision and care.

About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover who grew up begging for a dog. After college, I brought home my first dog—a golden retriever who was the center of my world. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with dogs of all kinds: high-energy, troublemakers, dogs with medical needs, seniors, and everything in between. I’m comfortable managing different personalities, energy levels, and routines, and I truly enjoy getting to know what makes each dog unique. After meeting my husband, we added a rescue to our household and regularly help care for and babysit dogs for family and friends. After saying goodbye to my beloved Golden, our house has felt a little empty. While we’re not ready to add another full time dog, we love welcoming an extra companion to our home for short term stays! Your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities, and I can’t wait to give them the care they deserve while you’re away. I am a mom of two young children and currently at home with them and our rescue dog. I said goodbye to my senior golden last year and have missed having that extra companion. I have plenty of space both indoors and outdoors, and lots of time to devote to your dog. I have a dog-safe, child-proof home. My yard is partially fenced, and I also have an electric fence available for dogs trained to use one (my dog does not use it). My house is located in a quiet, wonderful neighborhood with sidewalks and low-traffic roads—perfect for safe, enjoyable walks.

About: We have a large, very clean, and safe home with a big backyard. There are plenty of trails and sidewalks for walking around our house as well as a variety of parks nearby we can visit. I stay at home and will be available all day to supervise care for your dog(s). My three teenage kids will help provide care and are very responsible, loving, and diligent caretakers. Our own 2 small (4 lb) chihuahuas, Mocha & Lacey, are used to having other dogs around. When your dog(s) stay with us, you can be sure that they will be well loved, safe, and welcomed into the family as one of our own! We would be happy to keep you updated with pictures of your pet during his/her stay. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions! I currently stay at home and am available to care for your dog for most of the day. My husband also works from home quite a bit and helps as well. We have a large back yard but also love taking the dogs on walks through the nearby trails in the woods. Both my husband an I walk every day so there is plenty of opportunity for your dog to get out.

“Michaela is great! She loved on Oren and was excited to see him a second time and Oren was very excited to see her. He came home tired which I loved, meaning he had lots of fun at her house. She communicates well for updates on how he was doing through the day. I would definitely hire her again.”

There’s woods next to my apartment and two grass spots in my complex perfect for dogs ! My cats are older, have no problem with dogs but are unsure about cats so I would keep them separate. I don’t have a car right now but will always use uber in case of emergency or to go to a pet owners home to watch there pets!

About: Growing up I was allergic to dogs so didn't have one but we had other pets. Eventually, my dog allergy faded. In 2016 we adopted our first dog Coco from the SPCA in Hong Kong and fell in love with dogs of all shapes and sizes ever since. We now have a new dog named Leia who is bringing more joy to our family and anyone she meets! I work part-time so have plenty of time for runs, walks and bike rides to keep your dog happy and healthy. We also have three teenage kids who will be good play buddies. I have a fenced-in yard area and our property is just over 1 acre so your dog will have plenty of space. We’ve taken care of both large and small dogs.

About: Over Feb vacation while you have to work, have your furry pup stay with us. We have plenty of space available in my home with a fenced in yard, puppy couch, and fun toys to play with! Your dog will be taken out every 2 hours and will have walks. I know how stressful it can be while you are working and worried about your dog with Potty breaks and walks. Don't have them sit in alone all day, have them come and play with us! Each dog will have their own bowl for food and water, nice couch with flat screen TV for them to watch animal channel and they will be thrilled to run out try to catch squirrels in my yard! Roof!

“It’s great to find someone you can trust to take care of your dog and Grigorii is that person!! My pup really enjoys staying with him and his dog Terra. He takes the dogs on fun walks, is a great communicator and sends nice photos so you can see how much fun your puppies having while you’re at work. I totally recommend! Thanks very much, Grigorii!”

“He was truly an exceptional sitter. He took such great care of my girls and treated them like his own. He was very communicative and sent lots of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear my girls were happy and comfortable with him. They loved him, and he was an absolute joy to work with. I would gladly book with him again.”

I am a frequent traveler and I know how stressful it can be trying to find appropriate lodging your pup! Your dog would be treated like my own, with plenty of playtime and affection. I have had many dogs and I wound make sure that your dog is comfortable and happy. My dogs are regularly are let outside and I also walk twice daily. I have dog training experience, and have studied Dog behavior. I will take elderly dogs as well as young puppies. I am available throughout the day as I work from home and we could work together to make the experience exactly what you are wanting for your pet. I work from home so I am available to let your pet out as needed. Sleeping area can be a crate or just off fenced off part of my home, whatever works for your furry friend. I lead with exercise and affection. I realize it is a transition for your dog to be in my home and my experience as a trainer helps make that time more comfortable. My dogs are both excellent with other dogs and can give some support to your pet.
