Personalized care for your dog or cat - Elbow Lake

“Penni and her daughter were able to take care of my standard poodle, Fluffy, for about a week this summer. They were able to take her at a short notice, and I have been so pleased with how everything worked out. We received regular updates and pictures about how Fluffy was doing. (She even learned some new tricks!). Drop-off and pick-up were very easy, and Fluffy was returned to us the same happy dog that she was when I dropped her off.”

“She’s absolutely great with our Golden Retriever, I was chocked how her name Joy suits her so well, she’s a lady full of joy, that’s for sure!! Our pup was so happy and was treated so well! Joy communicated promptly and sent us videos, we were so happy and definitely will book again in the future!!!”

“Megan and her family were great with our dog, Mazie. I had no doubt she was well cared for and had plenty of attention. Megan is super nice and easy to work with and they were happy to accommodate when we needed to extend our trip. We are from out of state and found Megan on Rover, we are so glad we did and will definitely be booking with her again while we are here. They treated our fur baby like family and we are so grateful. Megan sent me pictures and updates everyday. Thank you so much Megan to you and your family for taking care of Mazie!”

About: Hi! I’m Eva, I'm a professional dog trainer and owner of Crockett K9 Services here in Fergus Falls. Boarding happens in my home environment, and each dog's day is scheduled around their individual needs for exercise, rest, meals, and routine. I take dogs of any breed, size, age, or behavioral concern, and I have experience administering medication and caring for dogs with health concerns. I pay close attention to detail, so feeding instructions, meds, and house rules are followed exactly. You'll get regular photo updates so you always know how your dog is doing! I'm home all day, so your pet is never left alone for long stretches. My days run on a routine built around the animals: training sessions, play time, exercise, meals, and scheduled downtime. Your dog or cat's day gets structured around their needs, not squeezed into mine! Dogs sleep in kennels at night and get scheduled kennel downtime during the day! If your dog does not go good in a kennel, please let me know and we can arrange care to your pet’s needs. I do day trips to parks on request, plus regular walks. There are plenty of toys and enrichment for both dogs and cats during their stay. If your pet does better solo, I can keep animals separated.

About: I've always been the one friends and family call when they need someone to watch their dogs, and I've loved every minute of it. I never had a dog growing up because of allergies in my family, so this is my way of getting my dog fix! I love spending time with dogs, whether it's going for walks, playing, or just hanging out. I'll make sure your pup gets lots of attention, love, and care while you're away. I currently work full-time, but I'm available before and after work during the week and have open availability on the weekends. My available schedule is: Monday–Thursday: Before 7:30 AM Monday: 1:30-2:30pm Monday: After 7:00 PM Tuesday & Thursday: After 2:00 PM Wednesday: After 4:30 PM Friday–Sunday: Available all day I'm happy to work with you to find a time that works best! My goal is to keep your pet's routine as normal as possible while you're away, whether that means sticking to their feeding schedule, going on walks, playing, or just giving them plenty of attention and company. I want you to have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, comfortable, and well cared for in their own home.

“Vanessa took such wonderful care of Jo Jo and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We’d happily book with her again!”

“It was our first time using Mikayla through Rover. She did an excellent job! Her pre-travel visit communication was great and all through our trip. The kittens were taken care of very well. While they were very happy to see us home, they seemed content with their care......even the shy one!”

Sandra B.

“Isabel was absolutely amazing, she took amazing care of our two cats!! She took so many great update photos of our babies while we were gone which gave us such a great piece of mind and let us relax!! Isabel is an absolute sweetheart!”

Ashley P.

“Penni and her daughter did a fantastic job caring for all of our critters. She sent regular updates and the kids loved knowing that the animals were safe and loved while we were away. Thank you so much for your help, we definitely will reach out during our trips away to have you come help again!”

About: I have taken care of dogs of all ages. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and play with their pets for many years now. My kids now share that experience and love running around with energetic puppies and cuddling with the older animals. I currently work full time but am available on the weekends, holidays, and certain weekdays. We go on walks and visit the dog park daily. I have a big fenced in backyard and 1 fur baby that loves making friends and playing with other dogs. We enjoy games of fetch and tug-o-war and do light training.

About: Growing up we had a few dogs. We owned a black lab, German Shepard, and German short haired pointer. Our family loved our dogs! In my adult life we haven’t owned our own dog, but we look forward to be being dog parents someday soon! We have also cared for family members & friends dogs, including a Huskie, Border Collie, and golden retriever. I’ve been wanting to get into pet care for a few years, I just haven’t had the space for it. We bought a house with a backyard that is perfect for doing so & now we’re going for it! I work full time at home & my wife Emily is a stay at home mom, while she’s fishing her masters degree. Between us we can easily give your pet the attention/time they deserve while they are away from you. We have a nice size backyard (no fence), along with plenty of room inside to move around and play. We have the flexibility to go on walks whenever they need & we are open to caring for all ages of pets as well as any energy level! We will meet them where they are at. The only pet we have is Merlin our cat. He is timid initially meeting new friends, but adjusts and does just fine once acquainted.

“Joy took great care of our poodle on short notice. She has a big yard that is perfect for dogs, and my dog enjoyed having another dog there to play with.”

About: My daughter, Hannah would like to take care of furry (or non-furry) friends. She is almost 15 and my husband Joshua or I will be accompanying her as she takes care of your pets. We've had dogs for years. We've raised puppies, and taken care of our friend's pets many times. Hannah has taken care of dogs, cats, gerbils, hedgehogs, horses, ponies, goats, and chickens. She loves all animals. My husband and I work in education and have summers off. We can help transport Hannah for your pet care needs. We'll also be there for support. D We walk our dogs at least twice a day and run regularly with our one-year-old puppy. We also have an older golden retriever. We have administered medications, and shots, and can do some basic grooming.

About: Growing up my mothe raised German shepherd puppies and wolf puppies. There isn't a time I can remember not having one! After moving out I adopted a golden retriever mix and later took in a Rottweiler mastiff mix. Lots of experience in walking, training, bathing, and lots of other things when it comes to dogs! Over the years I've had quite a few cats and am able to take care of there needs! I'm currently a part time waitress with a 6 and 4 year old.. I've been trying to find something I can do that I love while they are in school or home with me! They have grown up around both cats, dogs and farm animals and know how to treat them well. I have a lead to put the dog out to get some time outside, otherwise there's plenty of trails for me to walk them. I'm able to crate (if provided).
