Why Wayzata Families Choose Pet Retreat

Many of our current clients drive in from Maple Grove, Wayzata, and Minnetonka because they'd rather trust their dog to a vet-owned facility than a big-box chain!

What a First Time Assessment Looks like

First time assessments are an important first step to making your dog a regular at Pet Retreat. They are a half day, cost $25, and available every day of the week. First time assessments are required before you book a daycare or boarding stay. Here's what we assess:

01 Human Interaction

First, your dog will spend time interacting with our team to ensure he/she does not show any inappropriate behavior towards humans and is comfortable being handled.

02 Social Skills

Next, your dog will join one of our playgroups with temperament and size appropriate dogs to make sure they enjoy being around other dogs and show no signs of resource guarding or inappropriate play.

03 Nap Time

Lastly, your dog will spend time in one of our suites to observe how they handle the suite area. This is to ensure there won't be excessive barking or destructive behavior during naptime.

I never worry about a thing when I leave my dogs here. I have a six year old Golden Doodle and a nine month old HavaChon. The staff is incredible, kind, and knowledgeable. The dogs are always excited when they get there which is a great sign. I just started using the daycare they offer and it's been wonderful.... and with a vet right next door I can't think of a better place to leave your dog.

Dan’s grooming experience and techniques for giving my anxiety ridden fur baby a positive experience is a gift alone! I scheduled my next visit right away!

Lex M.

Pet Retreat is absolutely phenomenal. My 1.5 year old Aussie Archie adores his time there and the staff. I love that he can play with other dogs in a spacious turf area even in winter.

While he was boarded, I received daily report cards which included photos of his shenanigans, how he was doing, and names of other dogs he befriended. My friends can attest to me tearing up reading the praise for him and news that he was having a blast. When I picked him up, he was tuckered out and happy.

I would recommend the Pet Retreat to any dog owner, especially those of social dogs like mine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Pet Retreat Plymouth actually connected to a vet hospital?

Yes. We're vet-owned and located right alongside Vet Partners Pet Hospital in Plymouth, so if anything ever came up with your dog during their stay, there are veterinarians on-site to help.

Do I need an appointment before my dog can start daycare or boarding?

Yes, every dog needs to complete a First Time Assessment before their first daycare or boarding stay. It's a half-day visit, costs $25, and is available any day of the week. We use it to check how your dog does with our team, with other dogs, and on their own in a suite before they join the regular schedule.

We're located in Plymouth, MN, and welcome dogs from all over the western Twin Cities metro, including Maple Grove, Minnetonka, Wayzata, Golden Valley, Medicine Lake, and Hopkins.

What's your staff-to-dog ratio?

We keep it lower than most competitors, roughly 1 staff member per 10 dogs, so your pup gets more individual attention throughout the day.

Do you offer report cards so I know how my dog's day went?

Yes, every dog gets a personalized report card at the end of their stay letting you know how their day went.

What are your hours?

We're open Monday through Friday from 7am to 6pm, and Saturday and Sunday from 9am to 6pm.

How far from Wayzata are you located?

Just under 10 minutes from the center of Wayzata! Our low staff-to-dog ratio, attached veterinarian and additional services absolutely make us worth the trip!
