Hi, I’m Sara — the proud owner of The Dog Lodge in Monticello, MN!
I started this business out of pure frustration after trying to board my own dog. After visiting and trying a few places, I just couldn’t shake the feeling that he wasn’t receiving the level of care I would want for him. That experience lit a fire in me — I knew I could create something better.
So I built The Dog Lodge, a cozy, home-based space where pups feel loved, safe, and completely at ease. Every dog gets personalized attention, regular playtime, snuggles, and a comfortable place to relax — no overcrowded kennels or chaotic environments.
Pet care isn’t a side hustle for me — it’s my full-time job, and the dogs in my care are my top priority every single day.

🐾 Why Families Choose The Dog Lodge
Whether your dog is here for a single day or staying for a week or more, I treat every pup like they’re part of my own family. 💛
I've worked with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, and I genuinely love getting to know their quirks, preferences, and needs.
When you drop off your dog, you’re not just handing them off to a business —
You’re leaving them with someone who treats them like one of their own.
