Pet boarding in Minneapolis, steps from Lake of the Isles.
A true home away from home. Your pet doesn’t stay in a kennel. They become part of our family while you’re away — sleeping, relaxing, playing, and enjoying normal home life.
Boarding whenever you need. Drop-in visits available for Uptown, Kenwood, Lowry Hill, East Isles and the Chain of Lakes.
- No cages
- No kennels
- A loving home

Pickup & drop-off
Can’t bring your pet over? We can pick up and drop off for an extra fee — just ask when you book.
The same care you’d give them.
We host only a few pets at a time, so every one gets real attention, a real routine, and a real bed.
| Typical kennel | At our homestay | |
|---|---|---|
| Where they sleep | A run or crate, often next to barking dogs | On their own bed in our home — sofa cuddles welcome |
| Company | Staff on shifts, many animals per person | The same family, all day, every day |
| Daily routine | Set kennel schedule for everyone | Your pet’s own feeding, walk and bedtime routine |
| Updates | Call and ask | Photos and a short note every day |
| Stress | Noise, strangers, unfamiliar smells | Quiet home life, calm and familiar |
Normal family life. That’s the point.
Every pet gets their own routine from home. Here’s what a typical day looks like.
Morning walk
A slow sniff around the neighborhood before breakfast.
Breakfast
Their own food, their usual amount, any medicine given.
Play time
Toys, fetch, and lazy sunbathing.
Nap & your update
A quiet afternoon, and photos sent to you.
Evening walk & dinner
A longer walk, then dinner with the family around.
Sofa, then bed
Movie night on the sofa, then sleep indoors with us.
Five simple steps.
