Doggy Day Care Wenonah

“McKenzie was amazing with my fearful chihuahua. She listed to his needs and more than delivered. We were visiting out of town and requested last minute. She was very responsive, kind, and accommodating. It gave us the ability to go see the museum and other things with the comfort in knowing his needs were met!”

“We needed help watching our dog during the day while moving and Sally was great! I got multiple very cute updates of him each day and it seemed like he had a great time playing and running in the backyard. She was also very flexible with drop off and pick up times.”

“I've worked with River a couple times now. She's a fantastic person, very accommodating, and my dog Drake always comes home happy and worn out! Her dog Luther is very sweet. She surprised me by sending a video of the two of them playing in her yard. She's outstanding and I can't recommend her highly enough!”

“Kirby had a great time with Jessica ! He especially loved playing with Cooper. Thanks for making his stay awesome”

“Ellen is so patient & understanding with my fearful dog. I drop my dog off with a wagging tail which says a lot! I am so grateful for her & her availability and communication.”

“Jen is an absolute rock star! She definitely understands dogs and pack behavior. She basically has her home/yard set up to accommodate dogs—plus she expertly monitors her pack (she has a few of her own dogs and then takes in 2-3)- Trust me when I tell you that she is attentive and aware of their interactions and play styles and she keeps them occupied throughout the day with interactive toys and enrichment activities. I am extremely impressed and confident that she knows how to make a great daycare environment for dogs! My pup had so much fun and was extremely tired after spending the day at her house. Don’t get me started on all the pics and videos and updates she shared throughout the day! And she sent us on our way with home-made dog treats! Add to that an extremely reasonable rate when it’s so expensive out there -and I give her an absolute overall A+ I’m excited to share this review but also kind of want to keep it a secret so she won’t get too overbooked for us in the future!! 🤷🏻‍♀️🤞😊”

About: I've cared for over 15 different dog breeds since I was 10 years old, from high energy hunting dogs to cozy lap snugglers. Friends and family have trusted me with their beloved pets for years. With 8 years in animal welfare, I understand behavior and emotions, including noise fears, nervousness with new people, leash reactivity, shy/timid, resource guarding, seniors, puppies, and special needs pets. I also care for cats of all personalities independent explorers, playful toy lovers, and devoted snugglers. My goal is to give your pet a safe, loving, stress free home where they feel truly cared for while you're away. Each dog in my care receives personalized attention and love. For daycare and boarding, I limit to two dogs at a time to ensure quality care while they are in a new environment. When house sitting in your home, I can happily care for up to four dogs, keeping everyone safe, comfortable, and happy in their own home. I’m happy to provide photo updates, and our home is fully prepared for play, rest, and supervision. I’m home during the day, which allows me to provide pets with consistent attention, companionship, and enrichment. Every pet in my care enjoys a healthy balance of play, mental stimulation, walks, and quiet time to rest and recharge. Evenings are cozy and relaxed, filled with gentle supervision and snuggles, so pets feel safe, happy, and loved from morning to night. I have a fully fenced yard with secure gate locks to keep pets safe, and I’m happy to make adjustments using leads or harnesses for curious or adventurous pups. I also maintain an up-to-date list of urgent care and emergency veterinary clinics throughout the metro area for added peace of mind. Potential clients are always welcome to schedule a video home tour to see the setup and environment their pet would be in. My home allows for kenneling if needed, and I can provide large and extra large crates. I also offer separate spaces for feeding time and am located near several nearby parks for walks. For cats, I can provide a quiet, separate space if they need time to decompress. In addition to care in my home, I also offer house sitting so pets can remain comfortable in their own environment and routines. I’m located about 15 minutes from MSP Airport, which many traveling pet parents find convenient for drop-off and pick-up. Street parking is available in the area, and rideshares to the airport are typically around $20.

“Susie did an amazing job with our pup Quinn! She was very communicative and took great care of our dog. I highly recommend Susie for your pets care!”

About: I grew up with dogs and they are truly my heart and soul. We currently have 2 dogs 2 cats, (although one dog is a part time since they follow shared custody with the teens). We would absolutely love to take in your dog. We both work from home so they would get plenty of loving and attention! I work from home full time, along with my partner who also works from home; so honestly I'm very open. Our own dogs generally are taken out about every 3 hours regardless if they go potty or not. The animals have free range of the house (minus our bed) 😊 I do have a yard, although its not fenced, we have a track or a ground post if your worried about them running away while being outside. We also love to take walks. If they stay close and listen well, I generally stay outside with them. I can easily crate your dog if needed.

“Lucy, our 1yo lab/shepherd mix loved staying with Lydia! Lydia sent photos and updates, so we felt like we knew how things were going. We appreciate that she was well cared for while we were unavailable.”

Eva Z.

“Emilie was so good to my dog, Walter. I felt really comfortable leaving her with him for the whole day. She sent tons of pictures of him while I was at work and said he played all day -- which was perfect! I'm definitely going to be rebooking in the future. :-) Walter was pooped once we got home.”

Kit M.

“Alyson is wonderful! Our pup stayed with her while we were visiting town and I'm so so glad we found her. Alyson was super responsive and easy to communicate with and really flexible. Plus my pup was zonked out after we picked him up, so he must have played a lot and had a great time.”

Kate Z.

“Jessie took great care of our senior dog! She was very responsive and easy to get in touch with. She sent detailed updates throughout the day and lots of cute photos!”

Mara K.

“Krista is awesome! She is so thoughtful about how each dog in her care experience daycare. She sends great updates throughout the day and was a pleasure to book with. Definitely booking again with Krista!”

Joan H.

Jennifer F.

“Zachary was wonderful! He accommodated a last minute booking and an unplanned boarding.”

Malachi A.

“Best sitters ever! Couldn’t recommend Karen and Ryan enough. Lambo absolutely LOVES when he goes over to their house and gets the wiggles every time he see them. Just proves how much they care for your dog like their own. They’re very flexible with my schedule and I can’t appreciate that enough.”

Allison G.

“Jeanne and Rita have provided excellent care for my senior dog. Even after almost a year of daycare, they still send me photos of little Gianni snoozing in a sunbeam, happy as a clam!”

About: Want to get your dog tired out while you're at work? Drop them off at our place and they'll get a play buddy for the day, a mid-day walk, frequent back yard breaks, and plenty of treats and pets. One of us is almost always working from home, and we'd love to host your pup. Our dog's name is Odie. He's 4 years old, and gets along with most dogs. He's a great host and is playful and curious with other generally friendly dogs. Reach out and we can set something up! My partner and I take care of our dog together on a continuous basis. Your pet would be given all of the love, time, and attention that our pet receives. We will select booking dates on days where one or both of us will be home for the entire day. We have a fenced in yard and one fur baby. Odie gets along really well with most dogs. One of us would always be here to monitor the dogs, and we have a simple and effective way of separating them if necessary (a sliding door between the front and back of the house). We give pee breaks and refresh the water bowl frequently. On days we have a dog guest, we provide a 20-30 minute mid-day walk as long as it's not too hot or cold. Otherwise, we go and play with them in the back yard during our lunch break. We are willing to provide one or both meals if they come pre-portioned.

“Paul and Teri are the absolute best! They’ve taken care of Rosie twice now and have been so sweet and accommodating. Rosie has a hard time getting used to men and Paul is very patient and sweet with her. I can tell it’s a good day when she comes home exhausted from playing! thank you both very much!”
