Woof it’s been a hectic winter in my household. Here’s the update that I’m sure nobody will enjoy but it’s what is best for my family and myself. Unfortunately due to multiple setbacks including but not limited to multiple illnesses, hospitalizations for both my children, surgeries for my daughter and grandson, the housing market being slow, interest rates being high etc. we have decided to stay in our current home for the foreseeable future. Unfortunately this means that I will not be returning to dog sitting 😔 I truly thank you all for your support and am so grateful for every single one of you. I will be un-publishing this page on February 1st. I’ll miss you all terribly ❤️🐾

It’s been a month since my last post and I’ve been getting texts asking for updates so I figured it’s time to give an update. We are WAY behind on getting our house listed due to multiple setbacks but we are still plugging away and are hoping to get it listed soon 🤞🏻 I know it feels like I’ve been closed for a long time however, please keep in mind that I’ve been officially closed for only 2 weeks and did take dogs up until the last weekend of October as well. Unfortunately the housing market isn’t the greatest at the moment and we need to get our house listed and sold before we can even begin the process of looking for a home that is not only in our price point but also close enough to town and within the ordinances of the city. We’ll get there but it’s not going to be easy and it’s going to take awhile. In the meantime I’ve been referring to Kayla's Kanine Adventures. She is amazing and has taught me a lot of what I know. There’s also some good ones on Rover.com but please read reviews and remember that if they are in city limits they are also going against the ordinances and run the risk of being shutdown as the city is really cracking down on in home pet sitting in town. Overnights in sitters homes is not allowed at all in city limits. If anyone has any questions please message me. Thank you all for your support and patience though all of this. Hopefully I’ll have a better update for you all soon!

Hey friends! This adorable girl was picked up near 55th st se and is sure missing her humans. Does anyone know who she belongs to?

Just an update for everyone. November 1st we will be listing our home for sale (if you know of anyone looking for an amazing dog friendly home send them our way) once we close on the sale of our home we will be looking to purchase a new home outside of city limits. What does this mean?
1. Beginning November 1st I will be available for walks, check ins or overnights in clients homes only
2. I will keep everyone updated through this process. We’re hoping it won’t take more than a couple months but realistically we have no idea how long it will take to find the perfect location.
3. All bookings for September and October are still good to go.
4. Wherever we move to I will continue to offer services in my home. I have zero interest in running anything other than a home based pet sitting business.
I cannot begin to thank everyone for your support over the last 6 years. I’m both terrified and excited for what the future holds. In the meantime please be patient with me as I navigate this process to come back with a bigger and better setup ❤️🐾

Hey everyone! Just a heads up that I have decided to only book for September and October at this time. We are currently working on some big changes and unfortunately that may require me to be closed for a couple months. I will update everyone as we find out more.

Today is a special day for our friend Val! It’s her birthday! Val loves coming to play with Pennie and is very excited to get some birthday wrestles in! Happy Birthday pretty girl 🎂🎉

Ever since I put the rocks in I’ve noticed that some dogs don’t want to go on them as it’s a big change from the grass they are used to. Real grass doesn’t hold up to multiple dogs paws but turf does! I always strive to make sure every guest is comfortable and am really hoping this will help ❤️🐾 it’ll also help keep the rocks from migrating out of the middle and creating a mud pit every spring 🙌🏻 win win for everyone!

It appears August had snuck up on us! Which means October is now open for booking! I will be closed the 19-23rd for a mini vacay but have plenty of openings the rest of the month. I do tend to fill up pretty fast though so get those requests in asap! Thank you all again for your support ❤️🐾

Remmy is also an original client of mine. He used to have the sweetest cocker spaniel sister named Meeka. Unfortunately Meeka passed away and we miss her terribly 💔 a couple years ago his pawrents were lucky enough to adopt Meekas dad Red and Moo and I was lucky enough to spend a lot of time with Red. Unfortunately Red passed away recently and we sure miss him 😔 I’m so glad that moo and Remmy have each other. Remmy loves playing with Pennie when he comes to vist and moo loves playing with the boys. They always check in with each other though and it’s so sweet to witness ❤️🐾

May and I have been buds for years! She’s one of my original clients and I just love when her and her brother Choco come to visit. They give the best snugs! It’s always a dog gone good time with these two ❤️🐾

Cici and Nala have been longtime friends of ours. Nala loves playing with Pennie and Cici loves the boys. We had so much fun with them ❤️🐾

We’ve been hard at work doing some revamping to the yard and wanted to show it off! There’s still a few more additions to come but we’re all loving the progress 😍

A big thank you to our pal Roscoe for donating some of his toys to us! They are getting put to good use on this chilly and rainy day! The pups are loving them ❤️🐾

I’m constantly trying to find ways to keep cool in the yard 😎 this mister is pretty pawsome! It hooks right up to the hose and works great. Pennie also likes to use it as her personal drinking fountain 🤣

Happiest of birthdays to our pal Rocko! It’s so hard to believe you’re 6 already 😱 his birthday was a few days ago but we needed to celebrate with his friends so he brought doggy cupcakes for the pups and Carmel rolls for Miss Danika! It was a great day to pawty 🥳🎂

Happy Monday everyone! I know I told a few people I would be out of town and that was the original plan but we decided to skip having fun and do some work. My break consisted of doing something my husband and I have never done before. We put up a wood privacy fence. We still need to get the gates finished today, a couple sections of chain link removed and the posts cut dow. It’s not perfect but it was built with love and is fully functional. The dogs and I are LOVING it!!

Pennie went for her first dip in the pool this season. If you have a stay scheduled and your pup loves to swim please let me know and I’ll make sure your pup gets some pool time ❤️🐾💦
You know it’s summer time weather when Miss Danika makes a trip to menards and buys a brand new pool! Apollo was the first to test it out. At first he was a little nervous but after a couple of minutes he said “wait Dis is pawsome!” Good boy Apollo!
Pennie and Helena are very excited that Ludacris and Tpain are coming to the fair!! We had quite the dance party this morning!

Hey everyone! My name is Danika pronounced duh-knee-kuh. It’s a doozie I know and will answer to almost any version of my name that comes out! I recently graduated from UND with a BA in Psychology. I plan to use my degree to further my education with animal behavior as an emphasis. Animals have always been a passion of mine. I have done a lot of research on different breeds, behaviors etc. and have always loved caring for pets whether they are my own or others. In 2017 i decided to make a career of it and have loved every second of it. I did take a little break but I came right back because it just didn’t feel right not having my home full of furry friends.
When your pet stays in my home, they get treated as my own with lots of playtime, treats, snuggles and fun! I am very well versed on introductions and behavior cues as well as making sure every pet that comes into my home is safe, comfortable and loved. So far I have watched over 300 dogs with many of them being repeat clients. I have experience with everything from puppies to seniors, large breed to tiny breed, allergies, medications and even injectable meds such as insulin.
I do require that all pets that enter my home be current on vaccinations, be free of fleas, ticks and parasites and be social enough to tolerate other dogs and new people.
Due to the nature of my business I am unable to board aggressive or those that are excessively reactive/resource guarders or ill dogs. intact dogs are assessed on a case by case basis and I will take them if I have the space and ability to do so. I do not accept females in heat. I do offer check ins for those that need a little extra one on one attention or are ill or in heat so feel free to message me and we can discuss options.
Any questions, feel free to ask! Spots are limited and do fill fast! Can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend!
