Pet Sitters in Rock Creek, MN

I absolutely love this place. I board my dog here every time we leave state. They have a Facebook page where they will post pictures of your dogs to which is really nice. The prices are affordable and it is also a family owned business which just makes it that much more lovable. They are very accommodating and helpful to animals. My dog takes anxiety meds and they were willing to give him his meds while we were on our trip as well. I actually have our next trip already booked for the end of this year. I highly recommend taking your pets here 10 out of 10 experience with them. My absolute only complaint would be that you can only reach them by phone four specific hours of the day. With that being said, though if you leave a voicemail, they always call you back! I added some of the photos they added to Facebook. Update: 7 months later and they are still amazing !! Thanks for 15k photo views of my baby ❤️. I promise they will take great care of your baby as well!

Honestly, you get what you pay for. They're cheap, forgetful (they took my dogs food dish for their own, the lady was about to hand it to me, and just walked away with it. If i wasn't so preoccupied with seeing my dog i haven't seen for almost a week i would have said thats mine but it didnt register with me till i got home now i need to go back and grab it or just buy a new one), and hours of operation are extremely odd. Past that it's an okay place to leave your pup.

Absolutely pleased with boarding my baby Dane here for two nights! He came home exhausted and snuggly from a few days away from the family as we went on a small vacation. Seeing them post photos and updates was a nice ease of mind without constant texts and updates. They said he did so well and had a great time playing. Next vacation I’ll be boarding all three of my pups here and for any future needs. Thank you for taking care of my sweet boy.

The results of my dog Otis after being attacked by a Pitbull while in the uncompassionate and unprofessional care by the young untrained staff at Happy Hound. I did not know of the incident until I went to pick him up and found him bleeding from the front foot due to the injuries sustained while entrusted in the "care" of Happy Hound. With the only first aid they could come up with was an old dirty sock, I had to take him in for emergency medical/surgical Care at Blue Pearl in Blaine, some 60 mi away. At no time did the staff of Happy Hound contact me regarding his status, until I made my previous Google post. And at no time has Happy Hound even hinted about taking any responsibility for their negligence..

Tracy at Happy Hounds is amazing!! She goes above and beyond!! Happy Hounds staff treat all animals like their own. I have my dog Lily stay there anytime I go away. Great accommodations, grooming offered, and kind staff.

I have used their services a couple of times so far, and let me tell you that coming from an animal lover, they made the first time much more bearable on being away for a while. They do their best to keep you informed and treat your furry family member as one of their own. The rates are reasonable as well. Give them a chance!

Our dog Odin has been boarding here regularly (when our family goes on vacation) for over three years and these folks are top notch. They have pictures posted our your pets visit which is nice to see what they are up to while you are away. Our dog has so much fun here and even cries with happiness as we enter the property which makes leaving him so much easier because we know he loves it. We drive over an hour to the facility (we live in the twin cities) because the service, friendly staff, and care he gets here is unapparelled. They are the absolute best!

Do NOT bring your dog here!!! This morning 9-22-23 we picked up our dogs only to here the employee screaming at them over and over again to "come on". I didn't see this, but when one of them is scared she will NOT go anywhere! She come out ten minutes later red faced and visibly very angry, then when we have the nerve to ask where their beds are we get, I think they chewed them up or "ate" them I don't know I'm not always here, neither dog has ever touched their bed's except to lay on them, do not bring your dogs to this dog torture chamber!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If I could give it negative stars I would!!!!!!

My dogs came home quite contented. Usually when they've been at a kennel they come home frantic like they thought I would never come back. I tend to believe this means they were treated well and were happy while I was gone.. prices were quite reasonable staff was very friendly I have no complaints we will be back ☺️

We used The Happy Hound over the 4th of July for our two dogs and they did a nice job. It was our first time. Our dogs are high maintenance, highly allergic to many foods and one is a poop eater, so they carried our two dogs outside instead of leading them to be sure they wouldn't eat any spilled food on the ground and then made sure the pen they were using for their exercise was clear of all dog poop before putting them in there. I thought this was nice that they went the extra mile for them like that. The staff is real gentle and very caring. I also thought the kennel was very clean and the prices reasonable. I would use them again.

I moved to the Pine City area a few months ago and one of my main worries was finding someone I trusted to watch my dog. Vanessa has been more than just someone I can trust— my experience with her has been above and beyond. She has also been incredibly flexible and communicative with me. She’s taken on Ziggy when last minute travel plans changed, done drop-ins at my place while I’m at work, and most importantly, generously caters to him and what he needs. Every time I pull up to her house, he practically pulls me down to get inside. Not to mention, Ziggy is reactive to other dogs. It’s been such a relief to have a boarding option that is set up to accommodate that. I can confidently say this is my favorite and the best pet care I’ve experienced. I’m so thankful for Vanessa and can’t recommend Rock Creek Critter Care enough!

Vanessa and family are amazing to work with. It is great to know our furry family member is treated like one of their own and well taken care of. The flexibility and outstanding care with our high energy fox terrier is beyond what my words can express. I am so lucky to have found a sitter that I can count on and feel at ease while vacationing! Thank you so much to you all!

We have Vanessa do drop-ins for our two labs. She is always quick to respond, and is usually available, especially with quick turnarounds. Our two dogs love when she stops in to let them out for a break during the day. We’ve used her for over a year and will continue to use her for all of our pet service needs.

My dogs can be jerks for strangers so I was nervous about leaving them in someone else's home. Thankfully, my worrying was pointless because they were well cared for and had a great time. I received text updates about how they were doing (which really put my mind at ease). I will definitely be returning!

Vanessa and boys love your animals as if they were theirs. Highly recommend
