Doggy Day Care in Oak Park Heights

“This was the first time we used Rover. We left Gunner for a daycare day to start. Carolyn and Kristopher were great with Gunner. Carolyn wrote down all the details of Gunner’s normal routine and his particular needs. He came home very tired which was a win. We will be using them again in February for a longer stay. So thankful we found such wonderful people to leave him with.”

About: We’ve owned and cared for dogs and various other animals for most of our lives and have pet sat for neighbors, family, and friends over the years. We have experience with basic obedience and agility training and dogs of all sizes and ages. When it comes to dogs, we’ve owned Cocker Spaniels, English Pointers, and Labs. I work from home with a flexible weekday schedule, and while we have family activities some evenings and weekends, one of us is typically home. We currently own one English Pointer who enjoys having other dogs around. She loves to run and play outdoors and being a couch potato indoors. Our home sits on 5 acres, with plans for a large one acre fenced yard by May 2026. This gives dogs plenty of safe space to explore, play, and burn off energy. With a flexible, work from home schedule, we can easily adapt to your dog’s routine and needs, and your dog will enjoy consistent attention, playtime, and a loving environment. Our home includes four school age children who are always eager to snuggle, play, or help with meals and treats. Your dog won’t just be watched here- they’ll truly become part of our family.

“Karen and her family are absolutely wonderful! She gives us such piece of mind with her knowledge and experience with dogs. I’m an anxious dog mom and I have never once questioned the high quality of care she provides. Wonderful as always - she is our top choice of sitter!”

“Our timid (and somewhat anxious) Wilbur had a wonderful afternoon with Phillip. They went for a walk, played ball in his fenced yard and then relaxed on Phil's couch together. Wilbur was tired (in a satisfied sort of way) when he came home. Phillip was quick to respond to messages and sent photos during their visit. We look forward to dropping Wilbur with Phil in the future.”

“Rebecca was so good to Maisie, I will absolutely use her again! Great communicator and obviously loves dogs. Her house and yard are perfectly set up for doggie fun.”

“Butters had a great time! Mike sent us plenty of updates and photos so we knew he was having a great time, and seems to genuinely care about the dogs. We can't wait for Butters to go back!”

About: I’ve worked with dogs and cats in many different ways. I have owned dogs my entire life, plus a few cats. I volunteer at the Humane Society in Kansas City while at school where I work directly with the shelter dogs. I have house sat for multiple family friends and am ready to take on new pups and cats! I am currently home from school for the summer so am looking to fill the time. I work part time as a server a few times a week. During the day I often just workout, read a book, or hang with my own dogs. I have fostered a dog before and can adjust well to your dogs needs. I’ve practiced crate training, furniture restrictions, and other small training tasks. My house has an open yard which my dogs are free to run around in when they are not on leash to go potty.

“We needed an unexpected daycare day for Scooter, due to a funeral & Emily really accommodated our sudden request for daycare! it was nice we didn’t have to leave Scooter home alone all day for the length of time we were gone. Emily sure loves the dogs, loves to play outside and has so much fun! Emily is amazing! and as usual, Scooter slept the 45 minute ride home! Thank you so much for allowing scooter to join his BFFF! He really likes to be there! See you soon!”

About: I've taken care of dogs from puppies to seniors. I can help with basic training and manners, as well as lots of "walkies" and couch time! Whatever your fur baby prefers, they will be loved by my family and I. I currently work from home, so I am available to your babies 'round the clock. If they need to be let out at specific times or take timely medications, I am available for that as well! I have a fenced yard with a very friendly male, beagle mix to keep your dogs company. I can also crate or separate easily if necessary! I can come to take them for a walk or let them out, no matter the Minnesota weather! I can provide pictures/videos, and updates as often as you'd like. They will be loved by family and I, and treated like one of our pack!

“Fantastic. I had very short notice and Jessica and her husband were super accommodating. Alpine must have had a great time. He wore himself out playing with the other pups! Thanks a million. As a first time Rover user, this was an excellent experience.”

Kerry D.

“We have used Julie many times and are always hugely satisfied with her care of Echo. Echo got great play time with other dogs and good exercise out on the lake with Julie. Thanks for taking the time, Julie, to make Echo's day away fun and tiring! We were happy to get a tired doggy back home.”

Kate H.

“We had such a great experience with Giovana! She was very responsive and kept us updated throughout the day with photos and messages. It was clear that Kit was well cared for and loved — Giovana truly treated her like part of her own family. We’re so grateful for her kindness and attention, and we’ll definitely be using her services again!”

Jessica L.

“Booked a daycare stay last minute and was able to be taken care of right away. Will definitely use services again. ?”

Anna A.

“Kelly has been great with Coco! Because she has other dogs, Coco had the opportunity to socialize and have a ton of playtime. When I would pick her up in the evenings, she was so mellow which is saying a lot for an energetic puppy. Kelly kept me updated with pics of Coco throughout the day. We will definitely use her again!”

“Jessica and her family are amazing hosts. They were easy to coordinate with and took great care of our senior husky. We will be rebooking with them in the future if they’ll have Cricket!”

Morgan & Glen T.

“Orlando and Nicki were very responsive and accommodating. They were welcoming and hospitable. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience with them and they took very good care of our pet.”

About: I love dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs of all kinds and personalities. I grew up with both a Westie and an American Pit Bull Terrier, so I’m comfortable with everything from energetic, playful dogs to more relaxed companions. I’m happy to do long walks, playtime, and care for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels at any time of day. I have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, and sick dogs, and I always aim to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether you need walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, or something more specific, I’m flexible and happy to help however I can — just let me know what you need! *Lady, the American Pitbull Terrier listed on my profile, does not live in my home. I currently have a dog-free household* I have a flexible schedule and am happy to provide services at any time of day just let me know what you need and I can be available! My focus is on making each walk a positive and enriching experience for the pets in my care, fostering a sense of trust, joy, and exercise. When caring for pets on walks, my approach revolves around their safety, well-being, and enjoyment. I prioritize keeping them on a secure leash, ensuring their comfort with proper equipment, and maintaining a watchful eye for any potential hazards. Regular water breaks are provided, especially on hot days, and I adjust the pace of the walk to match their energy levels. Every pet is unique, so I adapt to their preferences, whether it's a brisk urban stroll, a leisurely park visit, or interactive playdates with fellow dogs. And of course I am happy to provide picture updates :)

I love dogs and will spend time watching over your dog in a safe and nurturing environment. I also have a small dog that would enjoy making friends if your dog would enjoy that.

About: I work 100% out of my home and enjoy having furry friends around to keep me company. I enjoy going outside with my friends on two walks a day. One in the morning and one in the afternoon. We are a family of 6. Two parents, three human kids and one furry kid. Human kids are gone at school during the day but our kind dog Paco is home with me during the day. Paco is a sweet and loving dog who likes friends to walk with or snuggle with. We have a loving home with lots of places to lounge out at during the day. We enjoy having additional furry friends around to keep us company during the days and nights. If you’d like to know more please don’t hesitate to reach out.

“Jennifer was a great host and very helpful. We would definately recommend her.”
