Dog Boarding in Ramsey

I grew up on farm and lived in the country side most of my life , I have been around dogs from been a young boy and have a great passion for them. I owned my 1st dog at 7yrs old a collie called Pat which never left my side. I have trained dogs of all sizes/breeds for obedience, working and showing. Right now we are showing our own dogs at AKC shows and a member Anoka County MN kennel club. i have worked with rescued dogs and police dogs im patient and understanding. At this present time im working on a Australian Shepherd which we rescued from a barn

Update July 2020 - I am excited to be re-opening for new boarding clients! Puppies and dogs up to 40lbs that are very good with other dogs. I am not taking any new daycare clients at this time.

---------------------------------

SUMMARY:

My husband and I are life-long animal lovers and have had dogs or cats most of our lives. We have none of our own right now. We’ve been DogVacay/Rover hosts since Dec 2014 and have really enjoyed all the new furry friends we’ve made! I work from home full time so dogs are very rarely left alone. Dogs that come to stay with us are treated like family. We love dogs of any age and do take puppies. Daily photo updates are sent to you through the Rover app.

---------------------------------

MY CALENDAR:

Please check my calendar, I work hard to keep it up to date for everyone. If my calendar say "unavailable", those are dates I am LIKELY traveling and/or not able to take pups. BUT....often the last day marked "unavailable" in a stretch of days may still be ok for drop offs. (Sorry this is a little confusing! It's a software limitation with Rover) For example, if I have a limit of 3 dogs and they are all going home the morning of July 5th, it will show me as "unavailable" on July 5th. So if you were to need to drop off your dog(s) ON July 5th, please message me to see if that would still be possible before trying to book.

---------------------------------

OUR HOME:

We live in a safe, dog-friendly, association. We have an elevated deck that pups will have full access to and a fenced in "residents only" dog park just steps from our door. We limit our Rover boarding/daycare limits to try and maintain a non-stressful environment for your pup(s) and give all them all TONS of attention. Our townhome is a split level with hard floors and carpeting. Dogs can hang out wherever they would like. They are welcome on our couch and on our bed if that's where they like to sleep.

---------------------------------

FOR THOSE WITH YOUNG PUPPIES:

If you are looking for a Rover host that will have LOTS of doggy playmates for your pup, I'm not the right place. But I do have many very sweet daycare dogs that I see on a regular basis that are great helpers for socializing if you have a puppy you want to expose to time with other dogs :)

---------------------------------

VACCINATION/HEALTH REQUIREMENTS:

All dogs must be up to date on all recommended shots and puppies must have had their first bordetella injection at least 2 weeks prior to their stay.

Any dog that has been exposed to kennel cough or is exhibiting signs must stay home.

---------------------------------

KENNEL USAGE:

If dogs are free-roam when you are away from home, they will have the same comforts here if we need to leave the house. If we do need to run out and leave the dogs alone, they will not be kenneled but will be separated from dogs from other families via doors/gates for safety reasons.

For dogs that kennel at night or when left alone at home, we do have 4 wire kennels available so you will not need to bring yours unless you feel they would be more comfortable in their own.

---------------------------------

PAYMENTS/REFUNDS/CANCELLATIONS:

Payments through Rover are completed up front but don't worry! I have a flexible refund policy set so you can get a full refund up to 24 hours before your pup's stay if anything changes.

---------------------------------

We try hard to make sure all guest dogs will have a fun, relaxing and often spoiled time while in our home! If they are allowed treats, I usually have plenty to share every day :) We would love to meet and help care for your dog! Please send us a message with any questions/concerns you have and I am usually able to respond very quickly.

Thanks :)

A bit about me:

I understand what it's like to worry about your dog when you're away, I have three fur babies of my own--Deuce (Basset Hound), Lincoln (Staffie/Great Dane) and Piper (Shih Tzu). I love them with all my heart and when I go away I want the best care possible for them. I want to give that care to your pup(s)!!

I spent many years working at the Humane Society of WI. It was so wonderful to help the fur babies find their forever families. I am super active and love to get outside. My dog clients will receive the 5-paw treatment, and their owners will too! This will feel like it is their second home!!

FOR DAYCARE: I am very flexible with drop off and pickup times, but I do consider eight hours a full day. I am open to making special arrangements, so please don't hesitate to reach out if your schedule differs from these options.

FOR BOARDING: Daycare is automatically included. However, per Rover guidelines, pickup time should be twenty-four hours from drop off. (For example, if your pet is dropped off at 2:00 p.m. pickup should be by 2:00 p.m. on the day you return.) I completely understand travel issues can arise, which is why I am more than happy to arrange a later time to accommodate your needs. For pickups after your pet's scheduled slot, a daycare charge will be added. Or, if applicable, additional overnight boarding is needed.

Please note—I am very comfortable and willing to take long term guests; I have significant experience with doggies who have been with us up to 6 months!!

Animals are more than just pets, they truly are family and companions. I promise to care for your furry family member just like you do, please reach out with any questions you may have!

Thanks again and I look forward to meeting your pup(s).

Welcome to Candlewood Canine Country Club! A Fun, Relaxing Vacation for your Dog!

Please check out my photos of just some of the many dogs I have hosted in my home!

I have several years of experience caring for dogs with many repeat guests.

Over the years I have also loved and enjoyed my own dogs and cats and they were a very important part of the family.

Owners have told me that their pets love coming to stay with me and are excited to be here!

With nearly an Acre, Plenty of Playtime for Dogs is available and there is lots of room to explore and play with a Very Large, Secure Fenced-in Backyard with a Locked Gate.

In warmer weather, there are plenty of shady and sunny spots to relax and enjoy the backyard!

Pets are treated with love and as part of the family!

There is a pet sofa in the living room right in front of the windows where dogs can relax, nap, bird and squirrel watch!

I can provide 24/7 care which means I can provide lots of extra love, care and attention as well as inside activities and outside playtime for your pets day and night.

Even though I provide 24/7 care, it is not meant for dogs that need constant supervision due to behavioral issues such as digging, marking in the house, housebreaking issues, Excessive barking, Excessive whining, jumping/scaling fences/escape artists, aggressive behavior, etc.

Very young puppies, Pit Bulls, Pit Bull mixes, Rottweilers, German Shepherds, Huskies, Cattle dogs, any dogs mixed with the above breeds or aggressive dogs are not a good fit for me to host in my home.

It is important that dogs are a good fit here and that I provide a safe environment.

All dogs Must Be Vaccinated /current on their shots and on some form of Flea/Tick Prevention.

My home has 2 levels. Dogs have access to the upper level, the deck and the backyard so I can keep an eye on them at all times. My home is dog friendly and dog proofed.

I do not have any children.

My home is a smoke-free home and I am a non-smoker.

I live in a Minneapolis Suburb that is easily accessible from all directions.

We Love our Repeat Guests but also take in New Guests! We like to establish long term relationships with you and your dog!

Even though I do not have any of my own pets and my calendar shows I am available I usually have at least one dog here so if you know that your dog is not good with other dogs I will not be able to accommodate you.

Drop Off and Pick Up times are flexible and I will work around your schedule to meet your needs.

The Boarding rate/Drop off and Pick up times is based on a 24 hour period,

I send photos along with updates during your dogs stay!

That means you don't have to lug along their kennels! Come check out our little doggy bedroom! Tulla loves it!

I found myself here because of my foster dog Bradley in 2016. He was terrified of people but loved dogs. This was my way of getting more dogs in his life and I fell in love with it.

My passion for dogs keeps me going. Dogs provide for me a deep emotional connection and a desire to understand them better. I am fascinated with current research on dog behavior and the canine-human bond and what we have yet to discover about its potential. As a biologist, I want to understand everything I can about them. I strive to use positive reinforcement and unconditional love. I did a lot of work with shy fearful dogs at the humane society and found it extremely rewarding. Their capacity to forgive and trust in us is mind-blowing. I am currently a lead at VCA animal wellness center resort and spa. I'd love to train more in canine rehabilitation and dog therapy training. Rover is a financial way for me to pursue my passion while simultaneously gaining knowledge and experience via numerous canine relationships. Thank you for being a part of my journey I look forward to working with your dog(s)!

Happy Spring!!

* As of April 1st, we will be moving!! We are currently building our new home and won't be able to board til September. I will update as soon as I can!

Going out of town? We want to watch your pooch! My husband and I have 28 combined years of experience with dogs, and love all sizes, large to small. We worked with a non-profit dog rescue organization in the city for several years and have had many foster dogs and rover pups through our house. Your dog will love playing and going on lots of walks, and the time will pass so quickly they'll barely notice you were away. Please let me know if you have questions, would like more info, or if you'd like to set up a meet and greet for us to get to know you and your dog! Thank you!!

We are former dog owners, lost our dog of 13 years a few years ago.We are looking to fill the void in our lives by taking care of your fur babies. We have our own home, a large fenced in yard, a very pet-friendly house, We both work full-time in a nearby community - and welcome most varieties and sizes of dogs.

I'll give lots of love and attention while you are away. Your dog can run and play out in the yard secured by a privacy fence, or (s)he can stay cuddled on the couch or dog pillow. I look forward to hearing from you!

Every dog I sit for has a special place in my heart and home.Dogs are not just animals they are friends, they are family ,they are life. Animals have always been a part my world. I fell like we have some type of special bond

When you can’t see yourself doing anything other than working with animals, then you know it’s exactly what you’re supposed to be doing. I’m truly passionate about all animals. As a sitter, I’m loving and loyal, and dedicated to ensuring that your dog needs are meet. I pay close attention to detail, especially when it comes to safety, health, and making sure that a dog feels comfortable in every way.

My dog is a big part of my day! Ozzy is a friendly, laid-back pug Shih Tzu mix and Dream is a full pug. I love getting to know dogs with different kinds of personalities, from high-energy to low-energy. I also take care of my mothers dog patches who is around from time to time I love him like my own. I have experience with a wide variety of breeds and sizes of dogs, including Chihauhuas, Black Labs, Golden Doodles, French Bichon, Havanese, Bulldogs, mixed-breed dogs, and so on. Volunteering at the Humane Society has given me incredible insight into the minds and hearts of pups!

My husband also loves dogs; both of us grew up around them, and can’t get enough playtime. I’m always available, its the day and age of technology so if you’re missing your furball and need texts, photos, or videos--or if you want to relay a message, to me or Fido--you can reach out anytime.

Animals are my biggest hobby. I could be around them day in, day out, for the rest of my life and that might not be long enough! I also love singing, listening to music, and traveling. You only have one life, and you have to do what you love. Dogs know that lesson well; they’re living examples of seizing the day.

I live in a quiet, relaxing neighborhood where you can hear echoes of kids playing in their yards and dogs barking across fences. The neighbors are kind and sociable. My home has a high fence and a huge yard for dogs to run around and explore. A stay at our home is the start of a life-long relationship. We’re really dedicated to making

My husband and I love welcoming dogs of all ages
