“Kay's home was perfect for Mabel. After spending a weekend at a nice dog hotel, we discovered Mabel thrives more with the home vibe and more personal human interaction. Kay provided a beautiful setting on acreage that's a mix of safety with space. I liked that there weren't multiple dogs other than their friendly golden retriever Brandi that Mabel became friends with. Kay kept us updated daily with words and pictures which I really appreciate. I highly recommend Kay and will definitely go back!”

“Mike and Niki took wonderful care of our Poodle puppy, Baxter! They took him to a lake, a dog park, for several walks, and showered him with attention. They sent many updates and pictures, which we loved. We will definitely request their services again! Thanks Mike and Niki!! - Brandi & Chad”

“Melissa was so great with my cat Sapphire. She was able to administer her oral medication and her ear medication, which she hates. And Sapphire is scared of people she doesn't know, and Melissa was able to gain her trust within the quick drop in visit time. She was even super kind enough to bring in our packages that were dropped off while we were gone!”

About: We have had labs for the past 14 years and Shitzu's for the past 30 years. Currenlty we have 5 Labrador Retrievers and 1 shitzu. We are currently working on training for Obedience and Rally for shows. Follow us on Facebook at Pinewood Lane Pet Resort Welcome to Pinewood Lane Pet Resort located in Pine River, MN. We are located on 20 acres, so we have a lot of room to run, play and explore. We offer 14 Kennels in our climate controlled facility, 4 of these Kennels with attached outdoor runs. Whether it's for doggie daycare, a weekend getaway, or the stay and play vacation, your best fur baby can enjoy their favorite activities in the comfort of our care. We offer home made treats, mental stimulation games, belly rubs, or let your dog romp freely in our spacious, outdoor play yards. Is hiking more your dog's style? Our hiking trails weave through our 15 acre fields. When your fur baby stays, we offer a fun filled day that will tire your fur baby out, it doesn't matter if it is for the doggie daycare or if it is for them staying a couple days. They will go home tired. If we don't offer your dog's favorite activity, let us know so we may add it to our program. Zachary is a full-time student at home and I work from home full-time. We are both able to work with the dogs throughtout the day and make them feel like they are at home but away from home when they stay and play with us. Our facility is attached to our home. We can host up to 14 dogs per night. Our doggy doors are closed at night to keep every dog safe andd feel right at home. Each dog is offered a raised bed, blanket and they are able to choose a toy to their liking. Our facility offers 3 fenced in large outdodor play areas. When any dog stays and plays with us, they are not allowed to go outdoors unless we are out there with them. Every boarder that stays with us, are required to have the following vaccines: Bordetella, Rabies and Distemper/Parvo Combo.

“Nancy was amazing! This was only my second time using Rover and SO thankful for this sitter! She made drop in visits to take care of my little, maybe naughty, kitty for almost a week. Nancy was excellent at communicating ans really goes the extra mile for you and your pet. Thanks again, Nancy!!”

Erika S.

“This is my first experience using Rover. My boyfriend and I were camping in Akeley and we needed a dog sitter for the day. Nancy was very communicative and sent pictures throughout the day. I do believe my dog, Holly, played hard because she is tired this evening. There were other dogs and they all seemed to get along well. I highly recommend Nancy.”

Wendy S.

“Jeannette and Zachary took great care of our little puppy! So thankful for such a loving dog sitter!”

Brittany M.

“Buddy really enjoyed his time at Diane's-- She did an excellent job with him across the 4 days. She was communicative, sent photos and flexible with drop-off and pickup times. A perfect option for a few dog free days while visiting the Crosslake area. Will definitely reach out to her again!”

Nichole N.

“We were vacationing in the area and needed someone willing to take our puppy for a few days. Grace was very responsive and willing to help us out. Ranger was able to spend a full day making new friends and romping around her fenced in yard. We'll definitely reach out when we're back in the area.”

About: Use this link for $40 off your first booking (new customer rules and conditions apply): https://www.rover.com/sit/kristz43730 I grew up with dogs and love hanging out with and taking care of other people's dogs. I understand how important special diets and medications are, and how to keep their current schedule. I want to provide a stress free environment with maximum amount of fun and a positive interaction. During your pup’s stay, you can expect that he or she will be treated as one of my own. I also make an effort to stay home and be present during their stay (alone/kennel time is extremely limited). I would love the opportunity to take care of your pet and if you have any questions or concerns, please ask! I work from home, so I have a lot of time to spend with your pup and attend to their needs throughout the day. I'm very willing to work with you as far as figuring out drop off/pick up times that work for both of us. Let me know what your dog likes to do for fun! We can go for a walk in the neighborhood, play in the (fenced) yard, go to the dog park, or just chill!

About: Many dogs are drawn to me-they sense my calm, attentive energy. It’s not just about keeping them company; I enjoy connecting with them on a deeper level. I like to incorporate training into our time together if I can, whether it’s reinforcing good behaviors or teaching fun new tricks. It keeps their minds active and builds trust between us. I am delighted to house sit for your pets, but I too, have a dog that would need to attend. She is a very well behaved 22 pounds 6 year Klee-Kai Aussie mix. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so your pet gets plenty of attention throughout the day. We’re surrounded by several dog parks and have plenty of space for walks and sniffing adventures. If your pet enjoys sunshine and fresh air, they may love lounging on my fenced patio. It’s secure, cozy, and fully visible from where I work, so I can always keep an eye on them. I have a medium crate and a gate available for a safe designated space if needed. A secure tie-out on the patio can be set up if extra precautions are necessary to prevent fence jumping.

“Nancy is a great communicator, and an excellent dog walker. My pup is always excited to see her.”

About: Rised on a hobby farm so grew up with all sorts of animals. My very own puppy came to me when i was 12 years old and have had a fur baby pretty much since. Have had some training in puppy classes and obedience. Have work with Bark Busters of the Twin Cities. Over the last 6 plus years I have joined a pet service company based out of the Twin Cities who specialize in doggy day care, dog walks, pet sitting for vacation clients in their home and also in our home. Pets come first. Working from home gives us the flexibility to care for your pets 24/7. Plenty of exercise, play time and of course scratches and love time. When pets come into our home we treat them as if they are our own. Currently the big back yard is not fenced in, however that will be changing very soon. In the meantime we will be going on more walks and being outside with your pets on a leash. We have one furbaby, and he is definitely a spoiled baby. If for some reason our pets do not get along, we will have a separation for our pets to keep all safe and yet still make sure that your pet feels like they are at their 2nd home. We will customized your home habits as you request. Crated as needed or want by our clients.
