Companion Acres

Companion Acres is a cage-free dog boarding and daycare facility in Rochester, MN, located at 3902 Commerce Ct SW. Dogs spend the day in supervised playgroups and sleep in home-base pods instead of crates. Grooming, training, and medication administration are handled on site as well.

Services and amenities

• Overnight boarding in home-base pods with cots and fresh bedding
• Daycare built around structured, supervised playgroups
• Indoor and outdoor play yards
• Grooming and dog training
• Medication administration and daily enrichment activities

What makes it different

Nights are where the setup stands out. Dogs sleep in the same pod where they played that day, on cots with fresh bedding added at bedtime, and a team member stays onsite overnight. Supervision runs around the clock rather than stopping when the front door locks. The cage-free approach means dogs stay in groups instead of individual runs. Training and grooming happen in the same building, so a boarding stay can double as a bath day.

Staying in touch

Owners receive daily photo updates by text message during a stay, so there is no guessing about how the day is going. Enrichment toys and extra treats can be added to any visit. Drop-off and pick-up times are flexible, which helps when work schedules shift.

The facility is open 6:15 AM to 7:30 PM Monday through Friday, and 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM on Saturday and Sunday. Booking is handled online at companionacres.com. Vaccinations are required for every dog.
