“Wow! What an amazing blessing to have left our Goldendoodle with this WONDERFUL family. Dana provided daily updates, pictures, videos, texts. Lola was part of the family and I know she had just as wonderful of a vacation as we did. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Dana and her lovely family. You will have the comfort and peace knowing your dog is being loved, snuggled, and adored! Dana was very responsive and always accessible. Truly a pleasure and I’m happy knowing Lola found her home away from home and I look forward to booking future visits with Dana and her family!”
“Desi and Marilyn are such warm people. Leia has gone for 2 days and she’s come home exhausted from playing with her new friends especially her crush Baxter. Leia can’t wait to go back but unlucky for Leia mama is off work a couple of days. Highly recommend!”
“Maureen was great with our pup Tino! I highly recommend her for your fur friends! She has a welcoming, kind and calm energy that helped put us at ease leaving our Tino there. Maureen was attentive and caring to our boy! We will definitely leave him with her again when in the area. We received updates and pictures. Tino also played well with her dog and had such a fun day! Thank you Maureen!”
“Wenxin is the best! We’ve had her watch our dog for a few days at a time and also for doggy day care, we will keep coming back to her. She sends us great update photos and our dog, Ozzy, comes back tired and happy!”
About: My 10 year old and I love it when your babies enjoy a swim in the lake in the summer and/or a walk around the lake with us. Rest assured your fur babies will be happy and healthy while you are away. Our standard poodle is my daughter’s best girl. We go for walks at least once per day around the lake (1.6 miles around). Sometimes we even go more than once and we all get a good workout in! We usually care for dogs here at home, however, I am open to caring for your fur babies at your house, if you prefer! Let me know!
“Ben and Irene are great with our dog Druid, and Nori is the best. She plays SO well with Druid in spite of the fact that he is 60+ lbs and she is so little. Ben and Irene are really responsive to communication and VERY careful to screen well”
About: For as long as I could remember, I grew up having all kinds of pets, from dogs, cats, hamsters and other small furry friends as well as birds. I absolutely love animals and I am super upbeat, nurturing, active and engaging. I have a lot of knowledge and experience with dogs and know a lot of training and handling techniques. I work from home and can give your beloved furry family member the attention and exercise it deserves and will make sure they always feel at ease, happy and comfortable. You’ll also get lots of picture and video updates too :) I work from home most of the time, and have a lot of availability in watching your precious furry family member. I’m a super active person, and love walks and just being engaging with your dog or cat. Also, cool perk. I’m a professional photographer and might snap a beautiful pic of your fur baby :) I have two residences, one being a nice two bedroom apartment that I do most of my work on that has an enclosed balcony as well as a big home with a huge beautiful enclosed yard in Ramsey.
About: I am fully dedicated to providing the best care to ensure dogs are happy and healthy! My family has owned dogs my whole life. I have been a dog owner of my own for the past 5 years. I currently have two dogs of my own, two chihuahua mixes, who are my top priority at all times. I give my all into their care, making sure they always have what they need, whether that be walks, treats or extra belly rubs! I will make sure the same effort goes into my care for your pet(s)! I am currently a teacher, but during the summer my availability is more flexible. With enough notice, I am available for boarding on the weekends, or throughout the week and available for walks or drop-ins at your convenience any day of the week. During the week and on the weekends, I am available at any hour. Happy to work with your schedule! I have two friendly fur babies at home to keep your pet company. I walk my dogs daily whether around the block or at the park near my house that always has room for a plus one! My place is also full of toys that are ready for sharing! I can also crate if needed. I am comfortable giving any medications if necessary as well. Flexible with any special requests also.
About: Hi! We’re Shirley and Anthony—a dependable husband-and-wife team who absolutely love dogs. I’m a pharmacist, and Anthony is a lifelong dog owner who works from home, so your dog will have round-the-clock care, attention, and affection. We’ve cared for dogs of all ages and personalities—from playful pups to slow-moving seniors. We’re gentle, patient, and happy to accommodate special routines, quirks, or needs.

We offer a calm, clean home with a large fenced yard for playtime and plenty of supervised outdoor breaks. We also have two friendly resident dogs who can keep your fur baby company—if your dog enjoys social time.

About: I've been loving pets on short-term bases for a few years. I have alot of open space so your dog will be comfortable and happy. A fenced in yard allows for as much outdoor time as they would like. My communication skills will leave you feeling at ease while you're away from your loved one. Work from home so your furbaby will not be locked away or alone. Available for daycare or boarding. My schedule is flexible and I'm open to discussing availability around your needs. However I cannot accept bookings exceeding 5 nights. I have a larged fenced yard as well as open space inside my home. While I allow your dogs to run freely in my backyard, I make sure they are always supervised.
