About Us

Letter from the Founders

In September 2012, a simple random occurrence became the catalyst for our journey. We, Lisa and Michael Larson, were about to embark on a 2-week, luxurious tropical vacation and were looking for a place to board our small dog while away. We asked friends and family for referrals, and we made a reservation at a local kennel that came highly recommended.

On the day of our departure, we dropped our pet off and asked the front desk staff at the dog boarding facility if we could have a brief tour of the property. What we found when we went “behind the door” made our hearts sink. Cages were crammed 3-high into a small, busy room, which included food preparation space, washing stations, and employee lockers. Utter chaos.

The guilt that we felt upon seeing where our beloved pet would be staying while we were off enjoying a lavish island vacation overwhelmed us.

A thought occurred to us on that drive to the airport, “If these are the conditions of a well-respected dog boarding facility, what must some of the others look like?” We knew at that point that we could do better, much better…and we have.

Simply put, the Woofington offers a full-service, luxury boarding, daycare and grooming experience for Small Dog guests only (25 lbs and under) and their discerning pet parents. This is the first and only location of its kind in the Twin Cities area, and we are located in the beautiful Lake Minnetonka community of Navarre. We hope you enjoy!
