Dog Boarding in Fridley

This was the first trip our family has went on that Oakley had to stay somewhere other than with a family member of ours. Oakley has A LOT of needs stemming from high separation anxiety, amongst other things. When nervous or excited, she often has accidents in our home. She is very timid around escalated voices (even just excitement), being scolded, etc. When she is not with someone she is familiar with, her anxiety causes her to be more irritable and protective of herself. Amy agreed to take Oakley, even after being filled in on ALL the details of Oakley’s needs. We arrived for the meet and greet and Oakley did not even hesitate to run into Amy’s home, greet Amy for the first time, and explore the house. She did not even have an accident, which was amazing since it was a new place and a new person- with a lot of excitement happening. She did not seem stressed whatsoever and didn’t waste a second before giving Amy a “hug” and licking her face annoyingly :) After the meet and greet, my anxiety nearly disappeared, knowing that Oakley was comfortable with Amy and her space. The day of drop off, Oakley knew exactly where we were when we turned onto the street. If the windows were open, she probably would have jumped out of one when we pulled into the driveway :) She didn’t even seem to care when we left the house to go on vacation- she was too excited to see Amy again! We were gone for 5 days and every single day, Amy sent pictures and an update to us. She was very responsive to any questions we had about how Oakley was doing. In addition, the last day of our trip went to complete chaos with a hospital trip for the flu, our flight being delayed, late arrival, etc. Amy was extremely flexible and was willing to change the pick up time to later that evening. With all of the factors that took place, we asked if Amy would be able to keep Oakley one more night since we would be back late and I was very sick. Amy had no problem accommodating this request. Believe me when I say this- Oakley is probably one of the hardest dogs to find care for, even within our family, due to her high anxiety needs. I am so so thankful for Amy, her patience with Oakley, her communication, and the bond she was able to form with a “difficult” dog :) I thought I would never find someone I was comfortable with leaving Oakley with for more than a day or so, after watching her anxiety even while staying with my family members. I can 100% say that Amy is TOP NOTCH and we are so grateful to have met her- and [ if she allows ;) ] we will definitely be using her care services in the future!!

Great place for leaving our dogs. They were there for eight days. Their dog and our dogs got along great and played a lot. One of our dogs needed meds every other day and that was taken care of properly. Our dogs are used to getting a lettuce and yogurt salad after our dinner and Nancy and Jeremy did the same. Our dogs also get an 8 o'oclock treat before bed and they gave them their treat. We got pictures or a video every day. That was great. Our dogs would like to go back again.

Dave is the best. He’s everything you look for when you need someone to watch your faithful friend. He knows and understands dogs, he’s kind & trustworthy, he sent us pictures of her, and treated her as his own. He let me know how things were going and we never worried how she was doing. We will for sure be calling on him again. Thanks, Dave, for being such a great carer for our dog.

Millie just had her first stay with Megan and her family and we highly recommend them! They took such great care of our French Bulldog and sent us amazing updates and pictures each day. We are so thankful we found them and will definitely be using them again in the future!

Our 1 year mini Goldendoodle had a fantastic stay of 4 days with Lauren and Jacob and their pups. They provided frequent updates with videos and pictures. Jacob and Lauren have a massive fenced in backyard where the dogs loved to run and play. They even successfully accomplished a doggie Halloween photo shoot! It was super cute. Jacob and Lauren were super flexible when we were a little late in picking up our pup Sunday night. Kobe even tried going back in the house when we picked him up. That showed how much love he was given during his stay. They gave Kobe a little Halloween goodie bag for being there for the first time and adorable "report card" about how he was during his stay. This was very informative. We will absolutely be using Lauren and Jacob in the future.

Coleen is very good at keeping me updated while I was oversea for a month. She sent photos and messages almost every other day because she understood how comforting it was for me.

Bre and Adam did a fantastic job with my high-energy pup. He came home very happy and exhausted. He LOVED playing with their dog all day. Highly recommend!

This was my first time leaving my dog, Toki,with anyone and I was very nervous, but during the meet and greet I saw how wonderful Marti was with my dog and how comfortable my dog felt in her home. She got to explore a big,grassy backyard, jump all over her couch, play with new dog friends and got lots of attention during her stay. Marti was quick to respond when I needed to extend my dogs stay and was always sending me the sweetest pictures of all the fun Toki was having. She was smiling in almost every picture and that made me feel even better about leaving her. I'm very thankful I was able to find a reliable, compassionate dog sitter close to my home for a great price. Couldn't ask for more. Thank you Marti!!!!

Barbra and her family took amazing care of our dog, Lola! They took her on long walks and gave us updates on how she was doing. Would absolutely recommend Barbra!

Brenda and Alvin were absolutely amazing!!! They both took such great care of our sweet girl while we were on vacation. Luna had some issues with eating initially and they took the time to work out a resolution to get her to eat and feel at home. 100% would recommend them to anyone to care for their pet! Thanks again for being awesome guys.

Susan and Craig are the best! Our dog had some GI issues during this stay and they took incredible care of her, including a vet visit. They kept us in the loop and made sure we were making decisions about our dog’s care. I recommend them so highly!

Judy did a fantastic job watching my dog Macy! She sent photos and gave updates on my old pupper throughout my trip. I'll for sure be using her again in the future!

We are so happy with Cassidy and her care of our Lucy. She's 10 now & her beloved dogsitter since she was very young as moving out of country. Lucy stayed with Cassidy in March 2022 and again just now,from 4/11 - 4/24/2022. She was excited to see Cassidy and her doggies Lungs and Nova, and was so calm and happy when I picked her up! Cassidy takes Lucy and her own dogs walking every day (unless weather too inclement), and also has a completely fenced back yard as well. She also kept us informed while we were gone (at an out of state wedding) and sends us occasional pictures of our girl. Cassidy is so calm and loving that I think the doggies can sense this and are calm and relaxed as well. We all love Cassidy ❤️

Fajita loved her stay with Rebecca and family! She had so much fun playing with the other dogs and came home happy and tired from all the fun. Would recommend Rebecca to anyone!

Our boy Jack was well taken care of by Kristin and her family! We loved and appreciated Kristin’s picture updates of Jack looking cozy and content while we were on vacation and definitely plan to use Kristin again for our travel needs in the future! Thanks again Kristin!!

Maria took really good care of Baxter and was very flexible with pick up and drop off times. She sent me pictures and videos all throughout so I knew Baxter was good. Baxter really enjoyed his stay with Maria and he came back happy and tired. Will definitely be leaving Baxter with Maria again and would recommend her to anyone who wants their pup to have a good time while they are away from home.

Pam was so good with my Rosie. Rosie came home, mellow not hyper. That tells me she had plenty of exercise. She was loved.

Theresa and Gabriel took such good care of our Aggie. They are set up well with a nice secure backyard. Theresa was very responsive with getting back to us, set up a meet and greet on short notice, and sent a photo while we were away. Excellent communication and highly recommend them! Thank you!

Kyle was very flexible with our last minute booking and shifts in schedule. The calm environment was a good fit for our dog- she came home happy! We appreciated the daily photo updates, too.

Simon and Barkley had a great time staying with Terrie. They loved chasing squirrels and each other around in the backyard. It was clear right from the start Terrie loves dogs. Simon and Barkley were very comfortable with Terrie and she even let them sleep in bed with her. We loved the daily updates with photos. It really made us feel at ease knowing how are boys were doing while we were away. We would greatly recommend Terrie to others and will use her services again!
