Doggy Day Care in Shingle Creek, Minneapolis, MN

“Rachel squeezed our dog Banjo in last minute for daycare while we were visiting Minneapolis. She communicated great and Banjo came home exhausted from playing all day, which is exactly what we hoped! Thank you Rachel!”

“My doggy had an excellent time here. He came home exhausted and happy. I got a wonderful picture during my few hours away and a great review when I picked him up. Will definitely be using Nathan again. Thank you so much!”

“They were great!!! I've left a few 5 star reviews and later thought that it was not actually 5-star service in a few key areas. That is not so with this sitter. Truly a 5-star sitter for my pup that I will recommend whenever I can!”

“Kaitlin did awesome with my dog! She gave him lots of love and attention and he was always excited when we pulled up to her house, which tells me he loved it there! We felt very comfortable leaving our dog in her care and will utilize her services again next time we need some help!”

About: Our entire lives have always been rooted in puppy love. We’ve been active in the foster and rescue community for years-raising our own pups from as young as eight weeks old, supporting our pregnant rescue dog through delivery and whelping, and providing compassionate care for our senior dogs. Our experience includes managing picky eaters, following strict diets, administering medications (including home IV treatments), handling skin care needs, supporting incontinence and reinforcing basic obedience house training and grooming. We’re confident and comfortable caring for dogs with a wide range of needs. I work full time from home and my husband works outside of the home with a flexible schedule. Our schedules combined ensure that our pups have plenty of time for play, naps and potty breaks. Our pups have supervised access to the main areas of our house and a fully fenced in backyard while we are home and we will always follow your pups routine to keep things comfortable and safe for your pet. When we are away from home we are generally only out for a max of 4 hours, we have plenty of room for your pups kennel and are able to gate off areas to ensure your dog is safe and feels at home. Dogs are allowed on the couches and beds if they like. My flexible schedule allows for drop-in visits for early mornings and after 5pm, mid-day drop-in visits can also be provided too if near the Robbinsdale area, boarding booking we can flexible to fit your needs. Our two dogs, Don Vito (2y/o) and Carmine (1y/o) are well socialized with all ages and sizes of dogs, they regularly play with the neighborhood dogs, indoor/outdoor dog park regulars, road trips to friends and family members home with dogs & cats and LOVE going on outings to dog friendly breweries and patios. For first timers, we suggest an intro play date and sniff session at our place to help ensure your pup will feel comfortable at our home, we will only take in dogs from one household at a time to ensure your family member is comfortable while you are away. We’ll share daily photos and video updates, we also have indoor Wyze cameras in the living room and near Carmine’s crate so we can keep a watchful eye on the pups whenever we’re out or overnight. We have a fully fenced in backyard and can crate your dog if needed and follow their crate schedule. We also have baby gates to help keep your dog from the stairs and bedroom areas. One side of our backyard has a lower fence–if your dog is a jumper, they would land in our neighbor’s fence yard, not an open area. Our backyard provides plenty of opportunities for squirrel watching, our Australian Sheppard Blue, used to LOVE chasing them up the tree and into the neighbor’s yard. When the dogs are outside, we keep a close eye on them to help ensure they are safe, happy and have plenty of time to potty. Our pups LOVE to play with toys, Carmine is a heavy chewer so we keep the softer toys separate, he will definitely destroy them

“Erin was amazing! She took such great care of my puppy Ziggy and sent plenty of pictures/videos to keep my mind at ease. Ziggy can be timid around other dogs and she took the time to comfort Ziggy when meeting new dogs. I highly recommend and will use her in the future!”

About: I have been a puggle owner, taking care of my little Snuggles all the way through her senior years until she was 13+, so I’m very experienced with small dogs at every life stage, including daily care and routine, bathing, administering medicine when needed, and handling their specific needs as they get older. I recently had to put my own puggle down, and while I still miss her, I’m looking forward to puppy kisses from time to time and sharing that same attentive care with other pups who need a calm, reliable place to stay. I work from home fulltime in a dog-friendly condo in Columbia Heights, which means I’m available all day for frequent potty breaks, companionship, and checkins. There’s no private yard, but there’s a nice shared yard with plenty of green just downstairs for quick outdoor time, and we can easily do neighborhood walks. My setup includes comfortable dog beds, a kennel for secure rest if needed, doggie stairs for easy access to furniture, doggy bowls for fresh water and meals, and soft blankets for cozy napping. I keep things lowkey by limiting stays to 1-2 compatible dogs at a time, so your pup gets plenty of one-on-one attention in a peaceful environment. (If you have more than two dogs that have lived together in the same household and need an exception for a longer stay, feel free to message me to discuss, I’m open to considering well-matched groups on a case-by-case basis.) If your dog needs someone who’s home constantly and knows small breeds well (especially seniors), let’s do a meet & greet! I work from home most days, so I’m available all day for the pups, extra potty breaks, daytime and evening walks, play, and companionship. Once every two weeks, I may be out for a few hours at the office. I’ll coordinate ahead of time, give updates, and make sure your dog is settled. On Saturdays, I’m less flexible for check-in and check-out due to volunteer work (away for half the day). I usually let dogs roam free in the condo. They can follow me everywhere if they want, which most enjoy for that constant company. I can crate your dog if needed (for naps, meals, or if they’re more comfortable that way). No fenced private yard, but plenty of shared green yards just downstairs for quick potty breaks or outdoor time.

“Matilda’s favorite place to be that isn’t our home. That’s saying something! We love bringing her to hang out with Madi and Cameron and their crew!”

About: I’ve taken care of many different pets my whole life, I grew up with many different pets in my family. I currently have a well trained pet of my own, my friends and family come to me when they are in need of a sitter. I’m currently a part time college student, so I only go to class on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, with my remaining time out of school, I have plenty of time to play and hangout with pets! I do not have a fully fenced yard but I do have a gated area on the side of my house. The gated area is big enough for dogs to run and play! I also have a small dog of my own to keep other dogs entertained!

“Kira was a great communicator and sent photos throughout the day. I liked knowing that Bandit had some dog friends but also got more person attention than at a big daycare. He came home tired!”

Laura A.

“Very easy to work with and great day care for our 6 month old puppy!”

Taylor B.

“She was absolutely amazing! I'm a rover sitter myself and have been for years and even though she is newer to the game she's doing absolutely everything right! My dog is very sleepy and happy, I will absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her”

About: As a current dog owner (Rosita, 30lbs), and having had dogs of my own in the past (Scooby & Walnut), I completely understand that special connection of owning a pet. They become more than just a pet, they're family. We only accept one client at a time to ensure 100% care to your pet’s needs. My husband (Andrew) and I both currently work remotely so your pet would have my full attention and the schedule flexibility. My husband Andrew & I are the only humans who live in this house (no children). As a current dog owner myself, I have experience with pet care. I also understand special needs to your furry friend. I can relate because my last doggo, Walnut had a chronic condition that required her to take medication daily, so I have experience with oral medical administration. Be assured that I will welcome your dog the same way I'd welcome anyone into my home. I'd cater to their needs and make sure the dog is enjoying their stay or visit with me! I am organized and responsible but caring at the same time. Thank you!

“Lindsey and her family were so great! They took care of my 5 month old puppy for the day and treated her so well. Gave her lots of play time and walks and sent many updates with pictures. 10/10 would recommend them to take care of your pup!”
