Doggy Day Care in New Brighton

“My doggy had an excellent time here. He came home exhausted and happy. I got a wonderful picture during my few hours away and a great review when I picked him up. Will definitely be using Nathan again. Thank you so much!”

“Always takes excellent care of Loki. Dave really does it because he loves it, and that is really obvious in the way he treats Loki, and the way Loki reacts when he arrives at Dave's house (tail wagging and bursting with excitement).”

“Pamela was great! She welcomed a meeting before dog sitting, and asked care questions. Arlington played well with my dog, and they have a great fenced in backyard for running around!”

“Lindsey and her family were so great! They took care of my 5 month old puppy for the day and treated her so well. Gave her lots of play time and walks and sent many updates with pictures. 10/10 would recommend them to take care of your pup!”

“Sara was great and communicate well throughout. Thank you!”

About: I’ve loved dogs ever since I was a little girl! About two years ago I started a business out of it watching friends and family’s dogs and loved it so much I made it my career! I work with dogs full time now and absolutely love it! I’m looking to spread my love for dogs in anyway I can! I know how to handle all breeds and sizes of dogs, as I’ve worked with close to all of them! And I even have extra experience with dog grooming at well! My full time job is working with dogs so I spend about 40 hours a week with them and i absolutely love it! I would say pet care is definitely a big part of my routine! I offer both pet care in my home and my clients home! I have a friendly dog of my own at home which could keep your pup great company, if your dog isn’t comfortable with new friends we have multiple levels and can accommodate that no problem! I have crates or beds owners choice as well as lots of toys and a big yard to play in! If pet parents are looking for an at home stay I’m more than comfortable with that as well! I do great following instructions as well as keeping your pup company at home!

“Kristie and Bryan were fantastic watching our husky (Izze) for the day! With our dog’s separation anxiety, we were very lucky to find Kristie and Brian, who were able to stay with her the whole day while we were out with family. I really appreciated Kristie showing me her fenced in yard, but also understanding that huskies (including Izze) can be quite the escape artists and still keeping an eye on her. We loved getting multiple detailed updates and photos throughout the day, and Izze seemed like she was having a blast with them! We didn’t feel like Izze wanted to leave when we picked her up. We would not hesitate to use Kristie and Bryan again, and we know Izze would be thrilled to go back!”

About: As a dog owner and foster/rescue volunteer, I've worked with all kinds of dogs, from playful puppies to dogs with special needs, including senior pups which have a soft spot in my heart. i work office ours during week days, after 4 pm i focus on giving my dogs the activity they need, and i dedicate the weekends fully to my furry friends. I have a fenced park in my building with games for dogs, I can crate your dog if wanted or needed, and I have plenty of toys and green areas close by to make sure the pups have fun! I have a pup myself very friendly that will be happy to be and have some company

About: I keep my home boarding low-key and personalized by welcoming only one dog, or two from the same family, at a time. So your pup will enjoy plenty of one-on-one love, play, and attention in a calm, peaceful environment where they can truly relax and feel at home. Working from home in a dog-friendly condo in Columbia Heights, I’m available all day for frequent potty breaks, companionship, and checkins. There’s no private yard, but there’s a nice shared yard with plenty of green just downstairs for some outdoor time, and we can easily do neighborhood walks. As a former puggle owner, I took care of my little Snuggles all the way through her senior years until she was 13+, so I have experience and can care for dogs at every life stage, including daily care and routine, bathing, training, administering medicine when needed, and handling their specific needs as they get older. I recently had to put my own puggle down, and while I still miss her, I have been enjoying puppy kisses from the dogs I watch, and I love sharing that same attentive care with other pups who need a cozy and reliable place to stay. My setup includes comfortable dog beds, a kennel for secure rest if needed, doggy bowls for fresh water and meals, and soft blankets for cozy napping. If your dog needs someone who’s home constantly and would do walks on a nice day, let’s do a meet & greet! I work from home most days, so I’m available all day for the pups, extra potty breaks, daytime and evening walks, play, and companionship. Once every two weeks, I may be out for a few hours at the office. I’ll coordinate ahead of time, give updates, and make sure your dog is settled. On Saturdays, I’m less flexible for check-in and check-out due to volunteer work (away for half the day). I usually let dogs roam free in the condo. They can follow me everywhere if they want, which most enjoy for that constant company. I can crate your dog if needed (for naps, meals, or if they’re more comfortable that way).

About: With over a decade of pet-care experience, Im well acclimated to all kinds of furry and non-furry friends. From age 10-17, I had my own dog, and watched dogs and cats across my neighborhood. I became familiar with walking multiple dogs at once, and cat care. During college, I worked at a non-profit animal rescue, where I learned skills ranging from raising puppies from birth to adoption to administrating vaccines and medications to dogs with complex medical needs. I worked with feral dogs, weaning mothers, and dogs with a wide range of behavioral needs. I’ve lived with both cats and dogs, so I’m also familiar with the quirks of existing in a home with your furry friends! For those who have unconventional pets, I’m always open to loving on them as well. I owned three pairs of rats throughout grade school and college, and even trained them for name recall. I am an animal lover at my core, and will be your best friends advocate while caring for them! I will be working part-time, so I have plenty of time to come play with and love on your pets! I am also very active, so am very open to hikes or daily adventures if you have high-energy dogs that need extra time. For smaller friends, I am open and able to bringing them into my home, but for cats and dogs, please plan to have me come to you! I am a huge advocate for meeting animals where they are. I will ask you questions about your pet’s personality, and ensure that I’m approaching them in a way that makes them safe and comfortable. Windows and doors are always shut and monitored for those who may have high flight risk pets. I deeply care about your pet’s safety during my stay, so please communicate any additional precautions when we are finalizing pet sitting details!

About: Our family said goodbye to our 16 year old Jack Russell Terrier, Lou, and we are ready to open our home to our neighbor's pups for love and attention while you're away! Britt grew up with lots of dogs (and cats), and the whole family has experience caring for animals at all ages. Both Britt and Mike work from home full time, and are able to care for pets throughout the day and night. Our three children are in school and preschool in the neighborhood during the week, giving us several opportunities to go on daily walks. We have a large, fenced in backyard for dogs and our children to share. We do not require dogs to be crated at night or when we are away for short amounts of time. We do have a medium crate if their normal routine includes crating during short times alone at home. Our children are used to being around animals and know how to be gentle and respectful of space.

“Sophie loved her stay with Ashlee! Sophie got lots of snuggles. Sophie came home happy and relaxed! Ashlee is very kind and sweet for taking such good care of Sophie! Ashlee sent two adorable pictures with herself and Sophie! Sophie will be happy to go back to spend days with Ashlee whenever Ashlee is available!”

About: I live in a house with fenced yard. There is plenty of room for dogs and people to run around. I have had my GSD since he was 8 weeks old. Now he is 8.5 yrs old (11/22). I also have a Frenchie which is owned by my gf. We all live together as one happy family. Both of our dogs get along with others, they have multiple social interactions (dog parks, lake walks, breweries, dog meetups… ). They like other dogs as well. We have no other pets , we do have random squirrels who randomly say hi through the window and get out kids excited 😆. I work from home and also get help from my girlfriend. I am home most of the day and will hang out with them. I am also free on most weekends. I have fenced in yard and large rooms/play areas they can hang out. They are allowed to go anywhere in the house, if they well behaved and don’t snore they are even allowed to sleep on the bed.

About: I've had pets for most of my life, and love all animals. We had a miniature schnauzer growing up, then in college I adopted my late cat, Boots. I recently had to say goodbye to my 12.5 year old GSD mix, Gabby. Gabby was my soul dog, and I cared for her like she was my child. Both Boots and Gabby had different health issues in their later years, so I have experience administering meds, giving feline subcutaneous fluids and have used canine mobility aids (help em up harness and wheelchair). I absolutely love watching my friends and families pets and am proud to be my friends' top choice for pet sitting while they are gone or busy. Safety is my top priority along with making sure they get the attention and exercise they need everyday. Now that I don't have any pets of my own, it would bring me great joy to help you with yours. I hope to meet you and your fur baby soon! I am currently open at any time during the week and weekends as I freelance and work from home. I prefer daytime hours from 7am to 9pm, unless I am boarding your pet at my home. I'm a highly responsible and reliable person. I take pride in the way I care for animals, and have safety and comfort at top of mind. If I board your pets, I have a fenced-in back yard and a dog friendly yard/garden. If I come to your home to walk or watch your pet, security will also be top priority.

“Cleo had a great time with Timmothy!! I loved his updates through the day and he asked many questions beforehand to make sure he understood how to care for her :)”

“Amanda did an awesome job taking care of my husky, Kenji. He got plenty of exercise and he knocked out all night when I picked him up. Amanda was so nice she took Kenji on such short noticed. I would definitely recommend Amanda and use her services again!”
