Kennel recommendations in Rochester for an out of towner

Posted by Scott, Volunteer Mentor @IndianaScott, Aug 15, 2019

Good afternoon all! I guess this is mostly for those here who live in the Rochester area. I am coming into Mayo for the MCSMN conference and will have my dog along with me. She's a yellow Lab.

Anyone have suggestions for a good kennel to use when in town for four days or so?

Thanks!

Welcome to Mayo Connect, I myself live in Rochester so happy to offer some suggestions.
- You can contact the Mayo free consigner service and ask for recommendations.

- The hotel may know of someone.
- Rover.com and care.com offer service to match sitters with dog owners.
- I know two kennels that do doggie day care, I am sure there are more. I have never used either.
Leashes and Lead - just on west end of Rochester

Central Bark - by St Mary's hospital

.
What kind dog, just curious?

Hi Laurie-
I am looking for a dog sitter who can drop in on my sweet dog 1-2x per day during my 3-5 day stay in the hospital. Our hotel room is across the street and I'd like to minimize the number of times my husband has to run back and forth to check on her!

Thanks for any suggestions. This dog has become like a human child to us. We are empty nesters who both work from home so she is always by our side. :0)

Thanks,

Nancy

We are interested in the same kind of assistance. We'll be trying to find a house with a yard close to the Mayo and we expect that during my surgery and while I'm in ICU, it will be difficult for my husband to go back and forth for a few days.

We have a very easy border collie. Any names or suggestions is much appreciated.

Your pup is adorable.
For a house with fenced backyard I suggest looking at http://www.airbnb.com or http://www.vrbo.com. If go into filters, you can select "Pet Friendly"

The previous poster stayed at Homewood Suites by Hilton Rochester. It was across street from St Marys and husband was able to go back and forth from hospital and hotel to take care of dog. It has small fenced in patio in back of hotel.

This discussion talks about various places that accept pets:
