Dejas Doggie Camp

Deja's Doggie Camp is a dog boarding and daycare facility in Oak Grove, Minnesota, at 19710 Rum River Boulevard. It accepts small, medium and large dogs for overnight stays and for daytime play. Overnight guests sleep in custom-built suites rather than kennels, and dogs from the same household can share one.

Services and amenities

• Overnight lodging in private suites, with same-household dogs roomed together
• Daycare with both indoor and outdoor play areas
• Grooming on site
• Medication administration for dogs who need it
• Twice-daily feeding in the dog's own suite

What makes it different

Play space is divided by size, with separate rooms for small dogs and large dogs, so smaller guests aren't mixed in with bigger ones. The facility has over 7,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor play space, and the outdoor yards are surfaced with artificial turf. Blankets, bowls, toys and slow feeders are provided, which keeps the packing list short for owners. Boarding guests eat in their suite twice a day rather than in a group setting.

Practical details

Deja's is open 6:30 AM to 6:30 PM Monday through Friday, and 8:00 AM to 6:30 PM on Saturday and Sunday. Booking is handled online. Vaccinations are required. Published rates run from $22 to $49 per day depending on the service chosen. Owners who want to see the space before booking can use the virtual tour, or arrange a Sunday tour by appointment. The phone number is 763-213-1498, and the email is dejasdoggiecamp@msn.com.

Is it a good fit

This is a reasonable choice for an Oak Grove owner who wants their dog in a suite with daytime play included rather than in a run, and for multi-dog households that would rather keep siblings together overnight. Owners of small dogs who worry about rough play may find the size-separated rooms worth asking about.
