Safety, Comfort, and Fun, Above All Else!
Staff Who Stands Apart
At Pet Retreat, we offer a one-of-a-kind dog boarding experience that prioritizes your furry friend's physical and emotional well-being. Here's what makes Pet Retreat boarding unique:
​
-
Park Rangers are proficient in reading dog behavior, and are well-equipped to provide first aid in case of an emergency.
-
Pet Retreat is owned by a Veterinarian and connected to Vet Partners Pet Hospital.
-
All dogs under our care have passed a thorough assessment, ensuring that they are a good fit for our facility.
-
The majority of Pet Retreat staff has been with us since we opened in September 2022. Before that, they'd spent significant time in the pet care industry at daycare and boarding facilities across the Twin Cities area.

What a First Time Assessment Looks like
First time assessments are an important first step to making your dog a regular at Pet Retreat. They are a half day, cost $25, and available every day of the week. First time assessments are required before you book a daycare or boarding stay. Here's what we assess:
01
Human Interaction
First, your dog will spend time interacting with our team to ensure he/she does not show any inappropriate behavior towards humans and is comfortable being handled.
02
Social Skills
Next, your dog will join one of our playgroups with temperament and size appropriate dogs to make sure they enjoy being around other dogs and show no signs of resource guarding or inappropriate play.
