“Alex was amazing! She arrived on time, asked great questions and took notes, and was very communicative. We felt very comfortable with her staying in our home. She also sent sweet photos of our boys, who we could tell were having the best time. We will definitely book her again!”


“Eva did great with our three dogs over an extended (6 night) stay of house sitting. They all have their goofy quirks, so we appreciated her spending the time with them to keep them all happy and healthy. We came back to three very excited and well cared for pups. Would highly recommend.”


“Olivia watched my two dogs all weekend while I was out of town. She easily made friends and took good care of them for a few days. I'd recommend Olivia to anyone who needs someone to look after their pets”


“Anna did a great job meeting our standard poodle’s demands for exercise and attention while we were out of town for 10 days. Her texts assured us that everything was okay at home and that our dog was happy and healthy. Anna took care of everything, including an unexpected power outage, and we were able to have a worry free vacation. We hope to have her back in the future.”


“Nina was great. Easy to communicate with. Dogs were happy and well cared for. I'm extremely picky about my dogs and who cares for them and Nina did a great job. She stayed at my house while we attended a wedding I never once worried about the dogs. The cute pictures she sent were an added bonus.”


“Laura went above and beyond for our pup! Throughout the weekend she was very responsive and sent lots of pictures to keep us updated. She was very respectful of our home, we would definitely book her again!”


“Sheila did a great job taking care of my Dane in my home while I was out of state for a couple days. I appreciated when she communicated via text to keep me updated. I would have her again!”


“Kris gave my dog and cat excellent care! She walked my dog twice a day, fed them both on time and gave them lots of cuddles. They were relaxed when I got back home from my trip. She truly loves animals!”


“Joleen was wonderful with our home AND our two pups during our week away. Great communication and made us (and our dogs!) very comfortable. Hoping to be able to have Joleen as our more permanent pup (and home) sitter when needed.”


“Wendy did a fantastic job watching our boys. she appeared to be comfortable and our boys appeared to settle in with her as well.. Wendy will be doing a extended stay with with our boys we look forward to her stay with them and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter..”


“We wholeheartedly recommend Krys as a dog sitter! We had to leave town for the holiday week and were a little nervous about going, but Krys put our minds at ease when we met. She took the time to meet with us multiple times before we left, which helped us feel comfortable and confident in her ability to care for our dog. Most importantly, Krys ensured our dog felt at ease, building a relationship that made the transition much smoother. She updated us with photos and messages throughout the week so we knew our dog was doing well. She has a genuine love for animals and went above and beyond to ensure our dog felt loved and secure. The house was also kept in excellent condition, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend Krys to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and professional sitter. Our dog had a great time, and we'll book with them again!”


“Layla watched our very anxious dog for a week. He has serious separation anxiety and she was WONDERFUL! Her patience with him was outstanding, she made him comfortable and gave him so much love. I can not recommend her enough. Thank you Layla!”


About: I grew up with dogs my whole life, potty training them and working on basic commands. I also worked at Wagging Tails Pet Resort for over 4 years. As a Play Coach, I spent all of daycare monitoring group play and checking them over. As a Lead, I administered medications and took care of feedings or anything a boarding dog may need during their stay. I was also a Supervisor so anything pertaining to facility and client interactions I am also very well versed in! I have worked with puppies as well as very senior dogs- making sure they’re comfortable and healthy. I have poured my entire heart into these animals as I see them as my own, and will continue to do so! :) Unfortunately Wagging Tails Pet Resort closed down on May 10th so I have recently accepted a full time position, working 9am-5pm, located in Edina. I am ready and willing to give stimulation before and after work for any dog I care for but will be away for majority of the day. I love to get as much information from owners as possible to help keep your pet’s routine as similar as possible. I am a very clean person as well and am super flexible with location! I love to take dogs on walks and play outside if there’s space. I am willing to do whatever you do (to the best of my ability) to keep your pup happy!
