“Katherine was the best! She was so accommodating with super short notice and with one of my dogs being a little ill. She took such great care of them and was attentive and so great to work with!”


“This is our second time booking Sam - Sam provided daily updates with photos, clearly gave lots of cuddles and time to our babies while we were away. House looks great and she is a phenomenal sitter, we trust her and our dogs enjoy her company, walks, and play time while she's here.”


“Anna did an amazing job taking care of my shy but active GSP. She was on time and communicative throughout the whole process. My cat even came out to greet her as well which is always a good sign.”



“Alyssa did a great job taking care of our pups and providing us with pupdates (with pictures) throughout her stay. She cleaned up after herself while staying in our house and even unloaded the dishwasher for us, which was a pleasant surprise. I would be happy to hire her again.”



“our pets love Leann!! she cares for them like they are her own and I know when we are traveling that we will get photos and she’s always quick to respond. we will definitely book with her again!”


“Naomi did a great job taking care of our dogs and home. She gave the geriatric dog all of her medication and plenty of short walks. She gave a lot of attention to the younger dog: snuggles, walks, and belly rubs. She sent a lot of fun photos. We felt very comfortable leaving the dogs and home in her capable hands.”


“Grace has stayed with my pitbull Keiki twice and I couldn't be happier with the care she received. Grace followed Keiki's schedule and handled all of her quirks perfectly. I received updates and photos twice a day which really helped my anxiety of leaving my baby home. I would trust Grace with Keiki anytime!”


“Lisa is a great communicator and quickly responded with pictures. She was able to get our anxiety ridden dog to come around and become bff. Absolutely would recommend again and again!”


“Timothy was a complete joy to work with. I feel evey confidence in his attention to every detail with his compassion for my dog and care for my home I very much look forward to working with Timothy every chance I get.”


“Denise was so attentive to my Breck. She was flexible about dates as I was pregnant and not sure when I would go into labor. She even rearranged her schedule when I ended up needing to stay in the hospital longer to take care of Breck. She was respectful of my home and property. Denise will be on the top of my call list when I need a pup sitter again.”



“Jenny put up with our ridiculous Frenchies and even collected eggs from the chickens each day. The house was in the shape we left it and she communicated each day with updates. Would recommend!”


About: I’ve been a dog lover ever since I could remember. I have a 4 year old cavapoo named Schmidt and he is my world. I worked at a veterinarian for one of my first jobs for about 2 years as a kennel attendant. I loved the job and got to meet a lot of friendly animals. I’d love to meet your family additions! I have one dog so every single I get to come home to his happy dance and it makes my day. I’m currently in college so when I’m there unfortunately he stays with my parents but my first thing I’ll be doing when I get my own place is getting a dog which I cannot wait to raise one on my own. I’ll also be working at a doggy daycare this fall in my college town. I will care for the pet just as much as I’d care for my own, but I also appreciate and respect how some take care of their pets and or certain routines. I don’t judge, just want to do good by you and your best friend:)

“We had a wonderful experience with Erika as our dog and home sitter over the weekend! She was an excellent communicator, keeping us updated regularly with lots of pictures and videos of our pups, which we really appreciated. Erika was extremely reliable, showing up exactly when she said she would, and it gave us great peace of mind knowing our dogs and home were in such good hands. She left the house just as she found it, even going the extra mile by putting her used linens in the washing machine. We’ll definitely be booking Erika again and would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”


About: Hi there! My is Charlotte (“Charlie”). I’m a Certified Veterinary Technician. I have years of personal and professional experience with pets. I am fortunate to be able to offer individualized and consistent care in your home. Living in Wisconsin and commuting to the Twin Cities allows me to serve pets and their families in many areas. You dog is always welcome to come along for the ride! I am currently home full time and widely available for care. My day can most often be dedicated to or scheduled around caring for your pet! I diligently follow directions for care. Depending on the pet and their needs, I adapt my care style to make them as comfortable as possible.

About: Aside from having 3 of my own, I've also fostered other dogs, and I do occasional pop ins for 3 others, actively dog sit another and work in a dog friendly brewery! I work a full time, fully flexible job in Hudson. My weekends, mornings and evenings are open. I also am able to work my schedule around whatever I need. Pets in our home get kenneled if people aren't present. We don't have a fenced in yard, but have 3 tie outs in the yard. In a clients home it would be as a "what's needed/necessary" basis per the owner.

She has a big pet family of her own, her dogs and my dog are best friends, Charlie teaches me something new about my dog every time we have a chance to get together. I've never met anyone who cares more for animals than her, if her calendar is open you would be SO lucky to have her watching your babies! She will treat them like they are her own. She will go above and beyond to make sure your pet is as comfortable as they can be. Highly recommend!”
