House Sitting in Otsego

“Gloriahna did a great job housesitting for me and my two dogs and one cat. She sent many pictures of the animals playing, resting and dog walking. She sent daily updates on her status and the animals. She followed my instructions and was respectful to me and my home. Very sweet gal who loves animals and is great with them!! I would book her again.”

“Jamie was great! She was prompt at communicating in our booking process and arrived on time to take care of our Murphy. Would recommend Jamie to anyone looking for a sitter!”

“After our first meet and greets and first overnight stay.....I WILL NOT stop singing Hayes' praises! The level of care, calmness, and communication was second to none and I'm so thankful to Rover for bringing us together. Without a doubt - will LOVE to have Hayes back in our home with our fur baby!”

“Brenda did a fantastic job with our boys. She was very patient with them. It took 1 of my boys a couple days to warm up to her but she didn’t pressure him and just let him come to her on his own time. Then they were best friends!”

“Shelby was awesome! Dogs were so well taken care of and were calm and relaxed when I got home. She sent updates and pics while she was there with them. Would definitely recommend Shelby!”

“I cannot say enough positive things about Ashley. From the moment she met Mabel, I could tell Mabel was going to be in good hands. Mabel liked her energy and warmed up to her in seconds. Ashley also provided me with regular updates and pictures which was really nice as well. I will be using Ashley again in the future, and will be highly recommending her to friends and family.”

“Cady was very reliable, respectful and accommodating. She’s also an avid pet lover! I will be booking with her again in the future. Thanks, Cady!!”

“Emma was on time for our meet and greet and on the day she cared for our dog. She listened to and followed all instructions, asked appropriate questions, and took excellent care of our dog at our home. Next time I need a dog-sitter I will contact Emma first.”

“Annie did a fantastic job with our pack of three! She is wonderful with the dogs and really respectful of the house too. She went above and beyond during her stay and we are so appreciative and will definitely rebook in the future. Thanks SO much, Annie!!”

“Tami and Eric Thoreson have had their own dogs, cats and various pets ever since their were married in 1984. I personally would have them take care of my dogs if I needed a sitter. Tami walked her dogs every day regardless of the weather. Our cold MN winters were not deterrent. They are respectful and responsible pet owners. You can rest assured your dog will be taken well care of.”

“Haley loves animals and has cared for several kinds of dogs, cats and reptiles over the years. She is responsible and caring. She goes the extra mile to play and be affectionate with the pet.”

“Renee did a great job caring for Charlie & George”

“Jane is easy to work with and the dogs were very tired when I got home, which was good for me as I was exhausted from traveling. She went outside of her norm to help us out and put the needs of our dogs first. Really appreciate Jane's flexibility and her care of our beloved pets.”

“Veronika is without a doubt the most passionate animal person I know. Every time I go somewhere with her she wants to pet, and play with every animal she sees. She is also amazing in the fact that she will always do any grooming-related chores with my dog such as clipping his nails and brushing him bi-weekly. I think she is a perfect caregiver for any type of animal and I would confidently leave my dog with her for 1 month or more without worrying for one second.”

About: Hi friends! Thanks for stopping by! let me introduce myself. My name is Julie Smith. We are transplants to Minnesota. My husband and I are both Air Force brats, so we grew up all over the world. My childhood dog (Rok-e) was adopted from south Korea when I was 9. He was a very loved, purebred lab. We said goodbye to him when I was 21, a few months before my husband and I got married. We do not have any animals of our own but we love to care of other's animals. Our kids enjoy having responsibilities with the dogs such as getting them water and helping to feed them. In our home, your dog will have lots of space to run and play. They will get lots of pets and love from us and our kids. A typical day in our house goes as follows: Wake up between 6 and 630. Breakfast by 730 Morning exercises (walking the dog, go to the park, etc.) Preschool drop off - happy to take the dog with me, if they do okay in the car. Lunch/quiet time Play time (outside, unless it is way too cold)/walk and potty break) Training/skill building for the kids and the dog Dinner Evening walk/exercise Quiet time 7/730 Bed time for adults around 10 We have a large, fully fenced yard (3/4 of it is a tall privacy fence and the back of it is 4 ft chain link fence with a large field behind our house). We have 3 kids who will help spoil and play with your fur baby. We will take your dog on walks (rain or shine) and help their social skills being around children. There are no other animals in the house.

About: I have have cared for dogs and cats since I was a farm kid. I do a pet sit and train program so the dog can learn new skills while the owner is away. I am recently retired so I am available to pet sit and train daily. I can custom tailor whatever type of schedule the owner needs. I only do pet sitting and training at the owners house. This helps reduce the pets anxiety by remaining in a familiar and safe surroundings.

“Rachel was great with our German shepherd! Amazing!”

“Becca watched our 15 lbs pomeranian. She was very attentive and is very sweet. I would highly recommend her.”

“Kacey house sat our pitty rescue today! She was thoughtful, attentive and respectful to his needs. He can be anxious when my husband and I are gone. We came home to a relaxed and happy dog, just resting in his crate. He's not always the biggest fan of his crate yet for others asking him to use it. So coming back to a chilled out dog was a huge deal. She was also an excellent communicator, sent me updates throughout the day, and even brought in my packages from the doorstep! We would definitely be excited for Kacey to sit Lewis again!”

“Lori exceeded our expectations in every possible way! Wilber, our 2.5-year old yellow lab, loved her from the first meet-and-greet. Lori is an experienced caregiver who has an exceptional way with dogs. When Wilber is with Lori, we know that he is safe, well cared for and having a blast! She goes above-and-beyond with nature walks, playtime, tennis ball chasing and nighttime snuggles. She has an innate ability to know what Wilber is saying and responds perfectly. WE LOVE LORI !!! She is our #1 go-to for pet care. Wilber cannot wait for his next visit!”
