Bear Creek Kennels 2009 Eastwood Road Southeast, Rochester, MN 55904

"Bear Creek is a great place for dogs to stay! They get plenty of play time. Our sweet corgi always comes home tired from all the excitement (photo attached). Tim, the owner, just loves dogs! He knows all their names and knows which dogs play well together. A few quick notes: this is a bit of an old school business - cash or check only. Reservations are made in person or by phone and written in a paper calendar. One small quibble - we don't have Facebook (primary contact method) and it can occasionally be difficult to get connected on the phone. For us, knowing that the owner and employees love dogs makes all the difference."

"After more than a year with many kennel visits behind us, Bear Creek continues to provide excellent care for our two dogs at every visit, including doggie daycare, overnight stays and a week-long stay. The kennel facility is always clean and our dogs are always excited to see Tim, the owner. This place is consistently top notch!"

"I was coming to Rochester for some appointments at Mayo Clinic and stressing out because I had to travel with my dog because I didn't have anyone to watch her in my small town. I booked pet friendly hotel rooms but I couldn't leave my dog in the hotel without being there so I called a local doggy daycare but there and they were full and suggested bear creek. I am so glad because BCK is wonderful! They agreed to watch my pup and quoted a minimal fee for the few hours I needed. They ended up not even charging me! So grateful to have found this place and it will be the first place I call if I'm back for more visits! When I picked her up she clearly was comfortable with the other dogs and staff. Thankss so much!"

"Took our dog to Bear Creek Kennels for her first over night boarding. The kennel facility and kennels are very clean. The staff are great and really show they care about your dog. Very affordable pricing. Our dog was relaxed when we arrived the next morning to pick her up. All good. Very pleased and will return to this business in the future."

"This was our first time taking our dog to a daycare and was not sure about it. The owner Tim was a very nice person and you can tell he loves dogs. Our dog did good with other dogs there and it was good to get her to socialize with other dogs. I cannot believe the price they charge. Tim even tried to give me a discount off that price because we drove so far from Illinois to Rochester to go to Mayo clinic. Thanks"
