Oak Ridge Pet Boarding

Oak Ridge Pet Boarding is a family owned kennel at 1640 Game Farm Road North offering dog boarding in Minnetrista, MN, plus daycare and separate cat boarding. The facility has 50 individual private rooms spread across three areas of the building, and it accepts small, medium, and large dogs. The approach leans toward individual attention, so dogs get several leashed walks a day instead of spending every hour in a group.

Services and amenities

• Overnight boarding in private, climate-controlled rooms
• Daycare for dogs staying a single day
• Optional small group play for social dogs, capped at five at a time
• Medication administration for dogs on a schedule
• Cat boarding in a separate four-tiered catio

What sets it apart

Group play is available here, but it is a choice rather than the default. Every dog gets several leashed walks daily, and the small play groups top out at five dogs. Each room includes a chew-proof Kuranda bed built for joint support.

Outside there are large fenced yards, along with a smaller separate yard for dogs that do better away from the crowd. An indoor play area covers rainy and snowy Minnesota days.

Practical details

The building runs on backup power that restores electricity within 15 seconds of an outage, and it is under 24-hour monitored security for fire, break-in, and low temperature, with music playing around the clock. Reservations are handled by phone at 612-987-0171. Published rates run from $20 to $67 per day depending on the package chosen. Proof of current vaccinations is required before a stay. Hours are 7:30 AM to 6:30 PM most days, with Saturday ending at 4:30 PM.
