Doggy Day Care Shakopee

“They are so amazing with my bulldog, Georgia. She is always so happy to see them! They also send lots of cute pics. Thanks for taking such good care of our girl!”

“Moxxie loved his doggie day care visit. Annabelle was very kind and easy to work with. We got pictures and videos of Moxxie while we were away. Great place to take your loved ones when on the road away and wanting to stop by the Valley Fair for day. So convenient knowing my pet was cared for.”

“We were up for a few days and our old boy, Bowie had recently had some medical issues that we needed him to have a little extra love while we were off doing things and we would bring him back daily when done running. We didn't expect this to be a relaxing spa vacation for him! He was showered with love and pampered more that he is at home! I think he thinks I'm a bad dog dad now! Tawny took him for multiple walks every day, brushed him, gave him treats, and just loved him. He even got in the puppy pool which he doesn't do at home! I absolutely could not have asked for a better person to care for our baby. I highly recommend Tawny and next time we're up here if we need someone to watch one of our animals, we know EXACTLY who we're calling! Thank you Tawny for being such a loving person for our Bow-Bear! You're the BEST!!!”

“Joey is great! I never worry about my dog when he stays there. He was so excited to go when he did day care and would run to the door when we arrived. Definitely recommend.”

Robin R.

“Kara is absolutely amazing! Not only is she top notch! Her family is out of this world as well! I am so grateful to have found such a wonderful place for Leo to spend his days while I am at work.”

Dina H.

“Timber had a blast playing with Haley today! Sonja and Adam sent lots of great pictures and really helped to tucker my energetic pup out. We'd love to come back again :)”

Amelia G.

“Our dog always leaves happy from her stays with Jeremiah and his family which gives us great peace of mind. He has been so flexible and has had great communication with us on the many days we’ve had our Husky stay for doggy day-care. I highly recommend Jeremiah!”

Yvette S.

“Kristen and her family welcomed Oreo as if he was their own dog. I felt confident that he was getting all the attention he needed. He got some love and exercise and a much welcomed break from his new little fur brother for the day. He is a fast eater, so still eats a lunch and that wasn't an issue at all for them. I know he would be happy to go back for a visit and some playtime with the kids anytime. Thanks for taking such great care of our big boy!”

About: What sets me apart is my professional background as a Medical Assistant combined with my lifelong love for animals. Growing up alongside our family dog, Topacio, who has been with us for over 10 years, I have developed a deep understanding and gentle touch for senior dog care—knowing exactly how to keep older pets comfortable, safe, and happy. My medical training gives me an extra layer of responsibility, attention to detail, and a calm demeanor when looking after pets. I am well-versed in caring for dogs of all sizes and ages from friends and family, and I focus on providing a structured, loving home environment. I treat every furry guest with the same dedication and affection as if they were my own! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I have a flexible hybrid schedule, working some days from home doing patient video consultations and other days from the office. On my work-from-home days, I am there to provide constant companionship and potty breaks throughout the day. For the days I am at the office, my schedule is highly predictable and structured, making it ideal for pets that are comfortable with a standard workday routine. No matter my schedule for the day, my evenings and weekends are completely free and dedicated 100% to long walks, fun playtime, and plenty of love! Safety and comfort are my top priorities. Since I host pets in my home, I ensure a secure, escape-proof, and pet-friendly environment where your furry family member can feel completely relaxed. Here is how I guarantee a safe stay: Structured Supervision: Thanks to my flexible hybrid schedule, I am home several days a week, and even on my office days, my routine is highly predictable. I closely monitor all interactions, ensuring feeding and playtimes are always safe and managed. Introduction & Meet-and-Greets: I always schedule a meet-and-greet beforehand. This ensures your pet feels comfortable in my home and is a great match for our sweet senior dog, Topacio. Tailored Routines & Care: With my background as a Medical Assistant, I am extremely detail-oriented. I strictly follow your specific instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise, and any special medication requirements to keep their days consistent. Daily Updates: I love sending frequent photos and updates so you can have total peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and receiving lots of love.

“We just wrapped up our first day of doggy daycare with Jen, and we are so happy to have found such a wonderful family closeby with a fenced yard!!! Jen provided photos and updates throughout the day, which put me at ease. I love that her kids got to play with my dog as well. And I can tell my pup had a great time. We will be repeat customers for sure!!!”

We have a patio we use to hang out with our furry visitors, but mainly we keep them inside to reduce noise impact on the community.

“Perfect sitter who truly understands and follows specific care instructions. Rachel did exactly what we asked, and as a result, everyone—the dog, the sitter, and us as owners—was happy. I highly recommend her to anyone who may be unsure whether their dog can be properly cared for.”

About: **We stay pretty busy with our current dog families, so we may not be available to take your dog. Our first priority is the current families we work with.** **Our speciality is dogs 30 pounds and under. Please consider other Rover sitters for medium size dogs before you request care from us.** We've been watching dogs through Rover for almost 2 years now. We have many families that we watch their dogs frequently. Their dogs are excited to come back to our home, and we treat their dogs like family. They receive lots of love, attention, and care. We love our current Rover dogs and families. They are precious to us. Prior to Rover, we took care of our friends' pets as well as traveled to pet-sit in various US locations for about 8 years. My responsible teen & tween children love all animals. Just don't ask us to watch your pet centipede or ostrich!! We will take your dog on walks and give it lots of belly scratches and snuggles. If your dog likes to sleep on a bed, my middle daughter would welcome it to her full size bed. She's the one your dog is sure to bond to as she has a natural way with dogs. We are a homeschooling family, so we are home a lot (when we aren't traveling ourselves). We enjoy being outside and would welcome your dog to join us on walks and hikes. If your dog likes to go for drives, we can do that too. We have a large yard, but it is not fenced in. Our neighborhood has lots of sidewalks, so we go for both short and long walks. My kids are gentle with pets and like to treat them like royalty.

About: Home full-time and just steps from miles of walking trails, your dog will enjoy plenty of exercise, attention, and companionship throughout the day. We currently have Loki, our friendly 5-year-old Golden Retriever, who loves other dogs, playing outside, and spending time with our two boys. Our boys absolutely love dogs and are gentle, affectionate, and excited to help make visiting dogs feel like part of the family. Boarding with us means your dog will be welcomed into a real home — not treated like just another booking. We only board one dog at a time, which allows us to give your dog plenty of attention, keep the environment calm, and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. We do not have a fenced yard, but we have a large, wooded yard (.6 acres) where dogs can safely enjoy time outside on a lead. We also live right by a regional walking/biking trail, so frequent walks and outdoor time are easy and part of our routine. I am comfortable caring for all dogs, including senior dogs, rescue dogs, dogs with separation anxiety, and dogs who need a little extra patience or reassurance. I have experience giving medications, crate training, leash walking, basic obedience, and helping dogs settle into a new environment. I am active and outdoorsy, so dogs who enjoy walks, playtime, and being part of family life will fit in well here. For everyone’s safety and comfort, visiting dogs must be potty trained, kid-friendly, and non-aggressive. They do not need to be crate trained. We are not currently accepting puppies. Our goal is simple: to give your dog a safe, loving, active place to stay where they get the kind of care we would want for our own dog. My husband and I both work from home on alternating schedules, so caring for dogs are part of our normal daily rhythm. We are available throughout the day for potty breaks, attention, feeding, walks, and check-ins. We live right on a regional trail, which makes daily walks easy, and we also spend time outside in our large yard with dogs safely on a lead. Pet care naturally fits into our family routine — walks, playtime, downtime, and lots of love. Your dog can expect a warm, active family home with plenty of attention, outdoor time, and affection. Because we only board one guest dog at a time, your dog will get personalized care, a calm environment, and lots of time with our friendly Golden Retriever, Loki. We want dogs to feel comfortable, safe, and included while you are away. We have a large yard, but it is not fenced, so visiting dogs are always kept safe on a lead when outside. Our home includes two dog-loving boys and our friendly Golden, so visiting dogs should be kid-friendly, potty trained, and comfortable around another dog. We can crate your dog if that is part of their normal routine, but crate training is not required. We are happy to follow your dog’s feeding, medication, walking, and sleep routines as closely as possible to help them feel secure.

About: We offer dedicated, experienced care, specializing in Shih Tzus and Senior Dogs. With over 14 years as devoted pet parents, we provide expert care for all stages—from active puppies to senior dogs needing gentle attention and medication. Our quiet, secure home features a spacious yard and great walking areas. Crucially, we only take one dog at a time to ensure your pup gets all our focus and love. Since our last dog crossed the rainbow bridge, we have boundless time and affection to share. Your dog will be welcomed into our family and showered with personalized attention, guaranteeing a joyful and warm stay. We are a team dedicated to your pet's happiness and well-being. We maintain flexible work schedules that allow us to provide consistent care, attention, and plenty of quality time for your dog. In our household, we're not just pet lovers; we're a supportive family. Our two teenage helpers are in school during the day, but they are always eager to lend a hand and shower your pet with love and affection before and after school hours and throughout the summer. In our pet-loving home, we prioritize individualized care and undivided attention. Since we have no pets of our own and commit to boarding only one pet at a time, your beloved companion will be the focus of our love. We are happy to accommodate any specific needs. Our home is in a dog-friendly neighborhood with ample, safe opportunities for walks and outdoor fun. Rest assured, your pet will be treated like family, receiving the utmost care and affection in our welcoming environment.
