Pets Are Inn

Pets Are Inn is a pet boarding service in Minneapolis, MN that places dogs with host families instead of housing them in a kennel. For owners comparing dog boarding options around Minneapolis, this is the home-based version: no kennels, no cages, and a host family matched to the individual pet. The office address is 7831 East Bush Lake Rd Suite 200J, Minneapolis, MN 55439.

How it works

The pitch is aimed at owners who are uneasy about leaving a dog in a kennel run. Pets Are Inn does not use kennels or cages. Each pet is matched with a host family, so the arrangement suits a dog that does better in a home instead of a group facility. Transport services are included. Veterinary access is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Practical details

Office hours run 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM Monday through Friday and 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM on Saturday. Sunday is the outlier: the office is open only from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM, which catches people planning a Sunday return. Contact goes through the phone line at 952-837-1877, email at mpls_office@petsareinn.com, or the location's Facebook page.

What is not listed

Pricing, vaccination requirements, whether daycare is offered, and any limits on dog size or age are not published in the information available here. Those are worth asking about by phone or email before a first booking.
