“I just realized I could write a review. Christine is awesome. She is flexible and a true “dog person”. My shepherd can be a bit protective but he loves it when Christine comes and she does exactly what the dog wants which is very comforting when my dog is at home. Christine is worth every penny and then some. I could not recommend her more!”
“Jackie was fantastic with our dogs! We received pictures and updates with each visit, and communication was great. We had a few last minute schedule changes and Jackie was beyond accommodating. I would highly recommend Jackie’s services!”

“Zara did an exceptional job coming to our home to feed and let our 2 large dogs out. They have a lot of energy and are demand attention. Zara did a great job with each of them and their individual needs. Highly recommend Zara as a pet sitter!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats. I love to go on walks with animals and love seeing their fun, spontaneous side. I am also willing to drive to parks and walking areas for pets I’m currently working part time at two different jobs, but I’m free at night to babysit and watch your fur babies! I also work on the weekends, but when I’m not working I spend time with my own fur babies When it comes to taking care of my own pets, I always make sure they have clean water and a clean place to eat their food. As well as cleaning litter boxes every day to make sure the environment is nice and clean for my pets.

About: I have had a genuine love of animals since a young age. During high school I was employed at a local animal boarding/doggie daycare. I have also been relied upon by friends and family to care for their dogs on an ongoing basis. I truly enjoy caring for pets and showing them love while their families are away. I currently don’t have a job. Im pretty open all summer but will be continuing school this fall in St. Cloud as a pre-vet major but can work around my school schedule. I prefer to take care of your dogs in their own home, this will ease any stress for your pets as well as your family. i will take excellent care of your furry family , and always respect your rules and your household.

About: I have 4 amazing dogs. A senior rat terrier and 3 husky lab mixes raging between the ages of 0-2 years old. I have house trained the 4 of them and they have been taught basic obedience. My senior dog is leash trained, and I’m working with my other dogs on leash training as well. I dog sit for friends and family often over the weekends and whenever they go on holiday. Normally I try to let my dog outside every 2-3 hours for a potty break or when they indicate they need it. My dogs are a huge part of my life and valued family members. I love spending time with dogs and helping them burn off energy and helping them get exercise. Any dog big or small is welcome, and will be treated with the same love and respect as they would be with their family. I am available after 5pm Monday-Friday and more flexible on Saturday and Sunday. Reach out and we can work something out to fit your schedule! I live on a farm off of main roads. I have a big yard with plenty of room to run. Dogs are NEVER left unsupervised outside and I always keep a close eye on them. I have plenty of room if your fur baby is crate trained. If your dog prefers being alone there’s plenty of room in the house to have their own space. My 2 younger are very playful and love having playmates and company. Dogs are always welcome on furniture, my home is their home and I want them to feel at ease!
About: I'm a teacher and an animal lover! I'm great at caring for others. 😄 We have two friendly cats and would love to host some dogs. I'm available most weekends and all summer. I'm available to board your pet most weekends! You can always reach out even if my schedule says not available. Those that have boarded with us love that their pet was clean, relaxed and well cared for. My kids love animals and your pet will be given a lot of attention. We have two cats that we love dearly. Our animals are part of our family. We hope to meet a few nice families that want their pets to get some extra attention in evenings or weekends.
About: I have some experience taking care of neighborhood dogs and cats, but most of my care experience comes from the animals I grew up with in my own home. I grew up with bigger dogs most of my childhood and even had a cat for a short time! I love all animals, big or small. I am a student who is quite involved on campus. I may have some availability during the day, but mostly in the evenings and on weekends. When at your place, I am comfortable taking your pups on walks, playing with them inside or outside, and doing really anything else they may need. I also love playing with cats or cuddling up with either of your pets on the couch if they just need some affection while you’re away.

Amber B.
“I will start this off by saying how responsible and attentive Amber is, as my dog (Oreo) was so sad to see them leave lol. I contacted Amber to care for my little corgi, Oreo and based on his reaction, he really liked them. I came home to no mess, and my VERY energetic corgi chilling on the couch with Amber. 10/10 would recommend !”
