Dog Boarding in Norwood Young America, MN

“Great family to leave your fluffy friend with. Hugo was happy there and felt like at home. Communication was amazing and care for our dog as well. We will definitely be coming back. Thank you so much”

About: I’ve had dogs of my own over the years and have raised them from puppies, so I’m very familiar with all stages of a dog’s life from training and high-energy puppy behavior to the needs of adult and senior dogs. I’ve also personally fostered two daschund dogs for several years while a friend went through a difficult transition, caring for them full-time until she was able to find pet-friendly housing. That experience really deepened my understanding of long-term, committed pet care. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds from larger dogs like Boxers to small breeds like Boston Terriers, Dachshunds, and Yorkies. I truly love them all and adjust my care based on each dog’s personality, energy level, and needs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just companionship, I focus on making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine since I work from home Monday–Friday, which gives me flexibility for walks, feedings, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day. My availability is open, and I’m also available most weekends. At my home, I provide a safe, family-friendly environment where pets are cared for like part of the family. I have a 10-year-old girl and a 13-year-old boy, so I always ensure interactions are supervised and safe for both the pets and children. I follow each pet’s normal routine and make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while staying in my home.

“Ana and Michael provided a wonderful place for us to leave Blossom for a few days. We were immediately comfortable and welcomed. Blossom made herself at home right away. She loved the fenced in back yard and all the attention. Ana was flexible with drop off and pick up times. She also provided videos and updates on how Blossom was doing. It was a wonderful experience leaving Blossom for the first time. Thank you so much.”

“This is the second time we've used Emily and she is wonderful! Our dog Diego loves being there and playing with their dog Maggie. She sends the cutest photos and Diego is always exhausted when he comes home. Highly recommend!”

“Brandi has watched our dog, Lucy, a few times this fall. Lucy loves it there. She is always happy to go spend time with Brandi. Thanks for taking such great care of her for us.”

“My babies had not been to her house in a YEAR- and immediately they were running around and comfortable outside like they were there every day. Next Karrie called them and they ran into house like we were not even there! Made us feel so good! Definitely going to have her care for them again!”

“Mochi spent a full week with Carine and her family, and it went very well. Communication was excellent - Carine was attentive to all the details we shared and very responsive via text. We received updates throughout each day and during our trip, which we really appreciated. My kids loved seeing photos and updates of Mochi playing and cuddling with her kids. He was truly treated like one of their own, and it was clear how much he was loved, he will genuinely be missed by their family. Carine was also thoughtful about managing energy levels when another dog was staying at the same time and always checked in first. We felt completely comfortable leaving Mochi in her care and would absolutely use her again.”

“Frank and Clarissa were amazing. They sent us pictures, let us know how our dog was doing and kept us at ease. Our dog can be a little shy when he first meets people and they made him feel like part of their family. Highly recommend!”

“Kristen and her family were great!!! She was unable to take our dog for the first two nights of our vacation, so she work out a stay with her sister and we could not be more happy and comfortable with their care for our 14 yr old pup!!”

“Amazing Care for Our High-Energy Doodle Puppy! We couldn't have been happier with the care Jeremiah provided for our energetic doodle puppy during his three-day stay. Finding someone who can handle a young, high-energy dog is crucial, and Jeremiah exceeded all our expectations. Their home is incredibly clean and nice, and the fenced backyard was perfect for our puppy to burn off steam safely. It was a huge bonus that they have their own sweet doodle—our guy had an absolute blast making a new friend and getting constant companionship! Communication was prompt and reassuring. We received updates and very cute pictures via text throughout the stay, which made us feel completely at ease. They took him on multiple walks and ensured he received excellent care and attention the entire time. Overall, our puppy truly enjoyed his stay, and we are totally satisfied. We will absolutely be repeat customers and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a loving, responsible, and fun home for their dog!”

“Andrew and his girls are amazing! This was our first time using a dog sitter other then family. Our Dog Cabo has a great time and loved all the attention that he received from them all. Andrew went above and beyond with Cabo and sent us updates and photos through out the week. Our kids loved to see Cabo being taken care of and well loved as much as we did. I would highly recommend Andrew and his girls to any one looking for a dog sitter. We will for sure have Cabo back to stay with them! Thanks for a great week!!”

“Brittany and her husband were GREAT!! She watched our dog Tucker for a few days while we were moving. She kept us up to date on how he was doing, and followed all of our instructions caring for him. We really appreciated her flexibility in timing dropping him off and picking him up - we unexpectedly needed to extend our booking an extra night, and was happy to accommodate this last-minute. I recommend Brittany without reservation - we'll definitely be re-booking in the future!”

“Amanda went above and beyond when my 1 yo German Shepherd had a few episodes of diarrhea while in her care. Truly a blessing to have her caring for my puppy during this. Can't thank her enough.”

Pam E.

“Toby was well taken care of by Beth. He enjoyed her other dogs! She sent a video of Toby playing with one of her dogs and she also sent a couple of pictures which I really appreciated! All together it was a very good experience for Toby and me!”

“Amy and Jason took great care of our puppy! We got great updates throughout the weekend and our girl came home tuckered out! We’ll definitely be using them again.”

“Kim was wonderful with our Ralph while we traveled. She sent many updates, pictures, and videos. We really appreciated her kindness and caring for our pup since this was the first time we left him without family. I would wholeheartedly recommend Kim to anyone looking for a fantastic dog sitter. Thank you, Kim!”

“Brenna was super confident about taking care of my slow to warm up dog and I felt very reassured that he would be in good hands. She was patient with him and helped him eat which he can be hesitant to do, and send lots of pictures of him lounging at her house. He was very relaxed when I picked him up! Would definitely book again and I recommend Brenna for anxious dogs.”

Julianna D.

“Jana took great care of our dog, was flexible and very communicative. We will definitely go to her again for wonderful treatment of our Dudley.”
