Dog Boarding in Nichols, MN

“Chris and Ashley provided exceptional care in overnight stays for my Izzy! I had only scheduled one night but asked if he could stay one more evening and they were fine with that. Very accommodating, professional, caring etc. I would definitely use them for boarding again in the future, no question! Thank you Chris and Ashley for taking such good care of Izzy. He came home very happy and relaxed.”

“Liz took great care of Kobe & Melo. gave them both individually what they needed over the weekend. Kobe was dropped off with a bit of an upset stomach but was back to normal by the time i picked them up. She was very communicative with updates which i really appreciated. They both seem to love her!”

“Elizabeth is awesome! She was so patient and kind with my really nervous dog and went above and beyond to communicate with me and problem-solve as my pup presented her with some unforeseen challenges. I can’t imagine that there’s a better dog caregiver out there.”

About: With five years of experience, I've developed a deep understanding of dog care, gained from working at various doggie daycare and boarding facilities. I also provide home visits, walks, and host dogs in my own home. I foster for a rescue, ensuring that my personal fosters and client dogs are kept separate. I live with two cats, one of whom is very dog-friendly, and two female dogs who are more reserved, preferring interactions on their own terms. My male Pitbull, however, is very playful. All my dogs are comfortable crating overnight and when I'm at work. I can only board male dogs, or smaller, submissive female dogs under 30 pounds. I work part time I’m the summer with a varying schedule. During the school year I am a teacher. I am gone from 7:30-4 daily. When dogs visit my home they are leashed in the yard, and will probably keep a drag leash on them while they learn the boundaries of the home. I will crate and rotate if needed to give the dogs time to settle in. I can provide mealtime enrichment in the forms of snuffle mats, frozen meals fillable treat toys, puzzle treats, snuffle games etc. I have boundaries in my home when it comes to behavior and dogs will get breaks in their kennel as needed for cool down time or an overstimulation break. If a dog has structural needs or some behavioral concerns, I am happy to talk about how/if I can accommodate them in my home. We have an abundance of chew toys, stuffies, and balls for dogs to play with but we can also remove them if your dog has some resource guarding tendencies with new dogs. When doing drop ins in a client home I make sure to be non threatening when arriving and giving the dogs lots of space and time to get used to me before expecting to take them out of their crate. I would need a breakdown of the house rules and can hold the boundaries needed. For walks, I don’t want to be tugged around, so I can provide alternate tools to help the dog walk better, including but limited to; head halters, front clip harnesses, slip leads, prong collars(I am trained in how to fit and use them properly). This can all be a discussion before services are scheduled. I also prefer to meet all my clients beforehand to ensure a proper fit for my home. All of my dogs are utd on their Rabies & Distemper/Parvo vaccines as well as spayed and neutered. They receive flea and tick preventatives monthly. Any dog I take into my care will need to be utd on distemper/Parvo and rabies vaccines at a minimum. No UNspayed females. UNneutered males will be a case by case basis. They will also need to be on flea and tick preventatives as well. Preferably oral. Over the counter topicals don’t work well.

About: I am working on starting my own business called Kaitlyn's Pet Sitting. I want to offer my business through Rover to get the word out there and build a client base. A little about me, I have worked in the animal care field for a very long time. I've worked in veterinary clinics and boarding facilities. I grew up on a farm and currently live on my own hobby farm with lots of land, chickens, horses and cats outside. I miss working in the animal care field caring for pets and I am looking to get back into this area of work. I have learned that dogs are more comfortable being in a home setting versus going to boarding facilities. A lot of dogs can develop stress related behaviors along with destructive behaviors from being at boarding facilities, that's why I want to offer this service to the community. I am currently working during the week Monday - Thursday 7:30am-5:00pm. But I am usually free on the weekends! I am hoping to eventually be available full time. I have a fenced in area for my dogs. My dogs are also crate trained for when I am away at work. All of my dogs love playing with other dogs! They basically grew up in a boarding facility when I used to work at one. I have a Siberian Husky, Australian Shepherd/Border Collie and 2 Chihuahuas.

About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals since i was little. I have 1 inside cat, 1 outside cat & 2 boxer dogs. We would love to offer our help to all the animal families out there! I currently work Full time Monday through Friday. I am available Friday after 5:00pm to Sunday at 6:00pm! (unless the dog is boarding then we can keep them during the week) I have a fenced in yard with alot of toys & space for the animals to run / play. We live in the country so walks are in our daily routine!

“Andrea took great care of our dog!! She kept us up to date with pictures, videos, and check-ins! Our dog can be super shy when meeting strangers but she felt comfortable in her care. Highly recommend Andrea!!”

I have a huge love for animals and while going through nursing school, I’ve decided to join Rover for a part-time job! This will be my only job as I am a student at Central Lakes College so my availability will always be open Monday - Sunday! I have two dogs myself a golden retriever and a German Shepherd and I treat those girls as if they are my children! I will do the same to your pets and make sure they are safe and happy while being with me!!

About: I absolutely love animals. I think that they are amazing, and all of them deserve all the love they can get. That is why I signed up for this, because I love animals. I am usually free on the weekends, but I take care of my 2 dogs, a cat, and a rabbit on the daily. I treat all my animals with the respect they deserve. I am always super careful with animals. They can be very small and fragile, so I take care of them the best I can. I love every animal, and take of them as if they were my own.

About: I have 2 dogs of my own, and have raised 3 total. All of my dogs are potty trained and well behaved! . . . I’m currently working part time, I have the majority of the week off. I have plenty of free time to take care of your puppies! I have a big fenced in yard with lots of room to run and play, I have 2 of my own dogs who are very friendly and would be so excited to meet new friends!
