Lucy is a very kind person, and my dogs love her. She comes and walks them twice a week when I’m busy with school and they are SO happy to get to spend some time outside with her. She sends photos and gives me little updates on them, and it makes me feel better about leaving my big, grown up babies.

Courtney did a wonderful job caring for our Schmidty the kitty while we were away for a family vacation! She ensured we got pictures with every drop in and either played or snuggled with him depending upon what he needed for the day! We’ll definitely be keeping her info handy for our next trip!

Wendy was amazing! I had to unfortunately start preparing to relinquish my cats when I was gone. Wendy took such great care of them and prepared them well.

Samantha did a great job. We appreciated the pictures and video she sent. She met my 4 year old when she came by for a meet and greet and knew how much we would enjoy a video of the cats playing. She was very professional and communicates really well. I would definitely hire her again!

Eden was fantastic taking care of my furballs while I was gone! They loved him and came out to visit every time which is very rare for one of my kitties. I felt great relief knowing they were being taken care of everyday.

About: I've housesat and looked after friend's pets (both cats and dogs, young and old) for well over a decade and have attracted multiple new clients through word of mouth. I love getting to know your pets and keeping them company while you're away. I also have some experience with pet medications and disabilities for older pets. I work full-time Mon-Fri in Lakeville from roughly 8am-5pm, so generally weekends are best for me for housesitting (Friday nights through Sundays), though staying overnight on weekdays are just as viable depending on location and frequency of daily pet care. Drop-in visits are similar, though weekdays are much easier to schedule for early mornings or evenings. Details can easily be negotiated through text or in-person meet-ups. I try to stick to any routines or schedules you have with your pets (walking, feeding, treat giving, playtime, bedtime etiquette, etc). While housesitting, I'll usually stay at your home as much as I can during the week and almost all day on weekends to keep your pets company by playing or chilling with them depending on their level of activity. When I leave, I make sure everything from last-minute potty breaks to washing any bedsheets I use is taken care of before I leave. For drop-ins, I'll stay with your pet for however long you need. I'll also take pictures throughout my stay so you know your furry friend is doing alright (or if I catch them being silly!)

Beth has been very helpful and friendly, so nice to work with. We adopted a new dog from the Humane Society, who needs some TLC right now in her strange, new environment. Beth has been doing drop-in visits while we are at work. And our dog couldn’t be happier about that extra attention, and chance to romp in the back yard! We are very pleased to have met someone who understands, and loves dogs as much as we do. Thank you, Beth!

About: Hello! We are an active family with a young son and an almost three year old Aussie Doodle named Marley and our newest addition is a cat named Moon. When it is nice out, you will find us outside! Marley loves having other dogs around whether it be a playmate or a snuggle buddy. Moon is usually hiding and can be kept in a separate area of the house, if needed. My partner and I have opposite schedules and Grandparents that double as babysitters. That means there is someone at the house the majority of the time to help take special care of your pet. We can be pretty flexible with drop off and pick up times. We have lots of love to give out and they will be pampered on their doggy vacation! I can also accommodate if your dog would prefer them to be the only pet in the house. Marley frequently stays at his Grandparent's house and plays with his Cousin- Pongo :) If it is your first time booking with me, use promo code KIMS56130 for $20 off.

About: As a dog owner of two and lifelong animal lover, I’m very comfortable caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I’ve had dogs since I was 12 and am familiar with everything from puppy energy to senior dog needs. I enjoy staying active outside and making sure pets get exercise, attention, and lots of affection — including great puppy cuddles. Your pet’s comfort and routine are always my priority. I work from home and can work from anywhere so I have almost unlimited flexibility and can’t wait to meet and get to know your oets! I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level. In my client’s home, I aim to keep pets’ schedules as consistent as possible with regular feeding times, walks, play, and plenty of affection. I know how important familiarity is, so I work to create a calm, safe environment while you’re away. I treat every pet like one of my own and understand the trust it takes to have someone care for them in your home. I’m respectful of your space, communicative, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved.

Evelyn has been absolutely wonderful taking care of Yoko. She consistently checked in, kept me updated, and communicated with me throughout the entire time I was away. As someone who worries a lot about leaving my cat for several days, Evelyn gave me complete peace of mind. Knowing that Yoko was being cared for by someone so reliable, attentive, and compassionate made all the difference. I truly appreciate the care and attention she provided, and I always felt reassured that Yoko was in great hands. Evelyn is someone I can count on without hesitation, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.
