“Such a good experience with Yuliya. Glenn went to her home for daycare. I loved all the pictures and communication. Glenn came home happy and will definitely go back. Definitely recommend!”
“When our normal sitter for our 18 year old dog was unavailable we selected Dayjah to fill in. As our dog is old, we are very protective with him. We spike with Dayjah on the phone first. It was clear that she not only was very knowledgeable about about pet care, but even more important, she loved animals. Our dog did fantastic with Dayjah. Infact, he did not seem to want to leave when we picked him up. Dayjah has my highest recommendation in providing safe and loving care for your pet!”
“Man! Shawn really did an awesome job with my two dogs. I was extremely anxious about how one of my dogs would do considering her high anxiety and Shawn took all the cues from her and eased her in nicely to have a really great day. Definitely will be using Shawn again!”
“I can't say enough about the fantastic care and love my pup received while at Kate and John's! I have a very active spaniel and playing outdoors, in a fenced in, safe environment is all I could ask for. The bonus is their kind and gentle dog that is ready to play with my pup when he arrives. I will definately book again!”
“Julie is always to ask you so accommodating to our schedule. We always feel so at ease when she has the dogs. We use her as much as we can as our number one person.”
“Mayumi took very good care of my dog Max and made him feel comfortable at home. He got used to them very quickly and played with her family. They were very nice to him. She posted updates of his activities and shared pictures. I would highly recommend Mayumi if you are looking for a day care for your dog”

About: Dogs have always been an huge part of my life! Pets are family and should be treated as such! Fur on my clothes, yep, always! We have 2 furbabies of our own. Daily walks, snuggle couch time, vacations, camping, they are with us through it all! It just makes life better! Frequest let outs, timely meals, prompt medication if needed are all necessary for a happy, well adjusted pup. They require constant monitoring and loving for happy life!
About: I consider it a gift to connect with the love and joy of pets. My husband and I have two dogs that keep us active, laughing and loved. My husband works from home and so do I occasionally, so there is someone always home to engage with and care for your beloved pet. We also have two Australian Shepherds who love playmates. We have a fenced yard and two dogs who love to play with other dogs. There is plenty of room inside as well to run around and play. There is almost always a human home to supervise for safe play.
“Donald was fantastic with Nova! She was able to run in his backyard and he took her on walks. She came home a happy and tired puppy!!”
About: Dogs have been my passion since my earliest memories. When I was a young girl, I was always training my family and friends dogs. I also would take care of my friends dogs when needed. I started to get involved with dog sports around the age of 12. In addition to this, I trained my dog to be a therapy dog. When I was 16 I started to volunteer at the Animal Humane Society in Golden Valley for a few years before going to college. I graduated from the University of Minnesota- Twin Cities with a degree in Communications and a minor in Leadership. Along the way, I took many classes to learn more about animal behavior and psychology. However, once I graduated, I was at a loss of what to pursue. It was during this time when I stumbled into working for Invisible Fence as a dog trainer. I found my true passion of training dogs through this. I have spent countless hours learning through hands on experience, shadowing other trainers, signing up for seminars/conferences and taking courses through a Pet Professional Program. In addition to this, I read countless books, listened to professional dog trainer podcasts, and watched videos. Now I run my own dog training business called Tator's Training. Pet care is about the well-being of the animal as a whole... starting with nutrition, enrichment, mental stimulation and being active. I have 3 dogs of my own that I work with every day. I target each category (nutrition, enrichment, mental stimulation, physical activity) to make sure their needs are met. I work with dogs daily and have a flexible schedule throughout the week. Every dog is treated like my own. I would never put an animal in a situation that isn't environmentally safe for them or puts them at risk. Safety involves having a safe place, being aware of what a dog is trying to tell you, having water available, following the established nutrition routine, allowing play, freedom (within reason), and providing daily enrichment.
About: I share my genuine love for long walks and outdoor adventures—because a tired dog is a happy dog! I pair that exercise with plenty of treats, endless smiles, and lots of love. Whether it’s a relaxed stroll or a playful romp, I make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and truly cared for every step of the way I have a full time remote (work from home) career with flexibility to add some walks and cuddles to my day. I am able to drop in for a walk/feeding/attention or I can accommodate extra furry friends at our home. I am a wife and mom of an active family of 5 with 3 college kids and a 5 year old golden retriever. I live in a quiet neighborhood on a lake where I spend as much time as possible outdoors.
“We initially did a Meet & Greet with K.J. and then it was all systems go for a play date! Our doggo was embraced as part of the family and had a fantastic day! We hope to book again with her sooner rather than later. ❤️”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 13 years old. I’ve grown up having dogs my entire life to getting a dog of my own. I’ve spent my life around dogs of various breeds from Shibas to Goldendoodles to Bernese Mountain dogs to Saint Bernards. Through these years I’ve trained puppies whether at home or attending classes and volunteered at various animal shelters. I have a special place in my heart for dogs and promise to care for your dog the way I would my own! I work from home so my schedule is very flexible, including weekends. I can plan around pretty much anything. Would prefer advance notice for any weekend pet care. I can easily drive over to either take your dog for a walk, check in, or watch your dogs in my home for some doggy daycare.
About: I'm well versed in handling dogs of all ages as I grew up taking care of a black lab, yellow lab, schnauzer, standard poodle and labradoodles. Additionally, I competed in dog knowledge bowl, Showmanship and obedience through 4-H for several years. I have experience taking dogs to the vet and groomer as well. I'm currently searching for a full-time job but in the meantime can take care of your pups M-Su, 6am-6pm. Once I have a job I can pet sit and walk overnight during the week and weekends after 5pm. I have a kennel, dog toys and a small fenced in backyard. Additionally, I have potty bags and a leash. Willing to brush dog depending on temperament.
“Sarah is the best! We have dropped off our corgi puppy with her for doggy daycare multiple times and she has always been great about sending updates and tiring out our pup (with the help of her 2 dogs, Drew and Alice)! We never have to worry knowing we are leaving our dog in a loving, caring home during the day. Thank you, Sarah! Highly recommend ??”
