3. Katelyn A.

“Very nice people, responsive, and our dog got along well with their dogs! Would have our dog go here again!”


4. Akirra B.

“Akirra did a great job with Scout. She sent us updates and photos. Her own dog seemed very compatible. I’ll use her again.”


5. Amy O.

“Birdie stayed for 10 days with Amy and her family and we couldn’t say enough good things! We got numerous updates and pictures throughout the whole experience. Birdie was loved and cared for as their own. It made going on vacation easier knowing Birdie was just as happy there as she would have been at home with us. Birdie will definitely miss their whole family!!”


6. Victoria B.

“Victoria was amazing with our fur babies! She sent so many picture updates, etc., & even gave them the cutest bandanas when we picked them up! Highly recommend!”


7. Samantha P.

“So welcoming and so professional. We love leaving Winnie with Sammie and her family.”


8. Kjersten & Nicholas A.

“Our Chihuahua mixed breed dog is not an easy dog to care for. He can be loud and hard to connect with for many people. Nic and Kjersten gave Jarvis a sense of safety and were responsive to his needs. Jarvis loved his stay with the Andersons. They will be our “go to” home when we need to go out of town.”


9. Rienn M.

“Rienn was absolutely fantastic! I urgently needed to board my pup and she agreed within minutes. She is so good with the dogs. She kept me updated the entire time with pics and videos of my little guy… it was like I was never gone! Huge bonus: she trimmed his nails, gave him snacks, and gave him a shower before I picked him up. I will definitely be using her again and encourage anyone else to do the same.”


10. Kasandra Y.

“It's always scary leaving your fur baby, but Kasandra and her family had great communication and care for my pupper! They kept us up to date with ADORABLE pictures throughout his stay 🐾💕”


11. Margo M.

“Margo took great care of our dogs while we were away. She sent regular updates and pictures so we could stay up to date on activities and how everyone was getting along.”


12. Amy K.
“Amy Koppelman is the one to hire for your dogs and cats. Truly the best! We've had Amy meet both our dogs and our cats; she brings out the best in them, tends to their nail clipping and walking as needed, lets our cats in and out and even returned to let one of our cats back in...takes care in feeding, watering, cleaning the litters and asking about all the specifics needed. She takes the time to update us (complete with pictures) and we couldn't be more pleased or delighted to have Amy in our pocket. Our pets love her. We can go out of town feeling peaceful - the best part! Wonderful value and the utmost of professionals. A gem.”


13. Brenda C.
About: I live it the country between Hayfield and Kasson and love pets. We have a friendly cat named Pickles who spends most of his time lounging in a sunny spot. Our teenage kids are busy with school, spots and jobs. When they are around- They love pets and do some pet sitting of their own. We lost our 17 year old dog, Dudley last year and I’m missing a furry companion during the day. I’d love to meet your Pet family and spend time with them! I’m home most days and pretty flexible. Ideally I’d like to provide regular doggie daycare for the same family as needed. But for now hoping to find a few furry friends to share my work days with. I will care for your dog in my home, while I am working. I have a very flexible schedule so am very available to let them out and give the attention. I often work while sitting on the couch with my computer on my lap. Your pal can sit right next to me.

17. Toni W.
About: Over 10 years of experience working in grooming salons, doggy daycare, pet sitting, boarding facilities, trusted by many friends and family to care for their pets while on vacation I have an in-home daycare so I am home all week. I have a portion of my home blocked off with baby gates for the kids. If your pet is comfortable being in my home, but on the other side of the gate, I can care for them during the week. If they are unable to do this, I can care for them over the weekend! Pets in my home will be treated as my own. They are welcome to snuggle up on the couch with my dogs, sleep in bed with us, and whatever they need to be comfortable


18. Angie O.
About: I love all animals. I have some training in behavior modification and training, so bring on puppies! I’m also a photographer and love taking pet photos! I love getting to know an animal and then supporting it in a way that it feels comforted, sometimes that’s snuggles, sometimes that walks, others it’s chew time. I have a fenced area but don’t use it often as I never leave any animal outside unattended to. I have a space I could put up a dog run as well. If there is any possibility the dog will run, I enjoy walking them on a leash. I have multiple harnesses available if need be.
