Fun City Dogs

Fun City Dogs offers cage-free dog boarding and daycare in Minneapolis, at 2200 East 25th Street in the 55404 zip code. Dogs play in groups instead of sitting in kennel runs, and staff are on hand 24 hours a day. The facility has over 15,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor play areas, two outdoor play yards, and a swimming pool.

What a stay looks like

Boarding dogs spend the day in the same play areas as the daycare group. At night they move into a slumber-party style overnight room, where each dog gets its own bed instead of a crate. Grooming is available on site, and staff administer medication for dogs that need it.

Key services

• Cage-free overnight boarding with 24/7 supervision
• Daycare with both indoor and outdoor play time

What sets it apart

The no-crate setup is the main difference from a traditional kennel. Dogs sleep in a shared overnight room with individual beds, supervised through the night. The pool and the two yards give high-energy dogs somewhere to burn off steam, and the webcams let owners look in while they are at work. Between boarding, daycare, and grooming, most routine care happens in one building.
