I hired for drop in visits while I was away for 10 days. My babies (1dog and 4 cats) were happy to see me and interacted with me like I never left. I would have to say that Ruby did an excellent job in caring for them and easing their stress. Im very thankful for her good work because my fur babies are family.

Amber (Dawn) took care of our 4 cats very well! Our cats were clearly very comfortable and happy around her (we have a shy cat, always hiding with strangers but he came out when Amber came to visit). We’ll definitely book her again in the future!

Karen was great with my fur baby. Took him for a couple walks and spent time giving attention. She was great sending photos and letting me know how it went. I'm glad you enjoyed your time with him Karen. I'm know he loved you. Guessing you found out how much he loves to give and receive attention. He thinks everyone and everything loves him as much as he loves them. My sweet boy 🥰🐕🧸🐾💙

Elizabeth is an incredible petsitter and we would recommend her services again and again. Our 2 cats were well cared for throughout the entire time we were gone and we received detailed updates and photos after each of her visits. I typically get major anxiety leaving our cats when we go on vacation, but hearing from Elizabeth with daily updates gave me total peace of mind. She followed all of our instructions and gave the cats lots of attention and stimulus, even visiting for longer than we requested each day. One of our cats is very cautious of strangers and typically hides for petsitter, but she took an immediate liking to Elizabeth. She must be a great judge of character because we agree that Elizabeth is the best!

Shaelie was amazing once again. She is so attentive and patient with my bunny, always communicating well and takes lots of photos which I love. I know my bunny enjoys her visits while I am away.

About: I’ve been around and taken care of pets since I was a child. I have experience with animals with health issues as well, so that’s no problem! I also volunteered at the Morrison County Humane Society in high school. I’m a college student during the school year and do not have a full time job. I pick up hours as the weeks go on, so pet care is a perfect opportunity to let me be productive while also loving it. I will not care for animals in my home as I live in an apartment complex. I will gladly come to your home and travel within my area.

About: I have had dogs throughout my entire life and have always loved taking care of them and any other animal that came my way. I am excited to meet your furry family members I work from 7-4 but with enough notice it is possible for me to do remote. I have a hour lunch for flexible drop in visits. I have a friendly lab mix to keep your dog(s) company. I have experience with animals before so I can easily get animals into cages, take care of their nutritional and potty needs. I can also bathe and provide other services at owner’s request.

Cristina took care of Viggo exactly the way he needed her to. He's so fussy and particular, and was very happy when I got home. Everything was perfect.

I normally walk my dog around 1PM and enjoy evening walks as well I grew up in a house with 4 other dogs, and now currently had a golden doodle, names Remy! Dogs have always been a big part of my life and always look to give them the love and attention they need.

About: Growing up my neighbors always had dogs and we often took care of them while they were away, which is where my love for dogs began. In college my roommate bought a puppy and I helped her raise it for the first 2 years until we graduated. During this time, my responsibilities were being the first one to take her out to the bathroom in the morning, being that I was always the first one awake! Also because I enjoy going for runs, I was the one who brought Finn on daily walk/runs, while also helping train her to live inside our house. Also, in college, the family I nannied bought a puppy and I helped them through the first steps of training her. During this process I really learned the steps of how to care for dogs being that I was the one taking care of her from 7-5 each day. I am looking into adopting a puppy of my own now, but I wish to be more financially stable before I get one. So to satisfy my puppy fever, for now I hope to dog sit and dog walk until I can afford one of my own!

Grace was wonderful with my dog Milo. She took him on walks and let him out while I was at work. She always sent a picture and let me know if he went to the bathroom. Would highly recommend!

About: I grew up on a farm with many farm animals along with many dogs and cats. As I got older I worked for dog a dog training company and my love for animals has grown immensely! I currently have a fish named Blueberry but would love to be out in the community to be able to help you and your family with dog or cat sitting. I am currently a college student I have classes for a couple hours a day and my weekends are free so I’m here to help. I currently like in an apartment that I can not have pets in so I can help take care of your pets in your home. I can go for walks or play with them for a while I know animals like a schedule so I’d like to make sure that your animals feel safe and happy.

About: I had a dog growing up for several years where I not only took care of, but she was also my friend and companion! Growing up with a dog was a good responsibility and taught me how to care for something else. I’m currently in occupational therapy school and I have a month and a half break where I am looking to earn some extra cash! I would be available on weekdays or weekends. I will create a safe, and trusting environment for your pet while providing tailored care specifically to your own pet. I want to provide a comfortable environment and build rapport with your pet. Meeting up with your pet prior before providing pet care will ensure this safe environment.

About: I’ve always cared for family pets and currently own two cats, one of which is happily trained to wear the elaborate sweaters I make him and goes on daily walks on a leash. I am comfortable with any special needs that may arise such as giving meds or other basic vet care, and enjoy working with all kinds of animals. Let my flexible schedule fit into your routine! I am available days, evenings, and weekends. I know how disruptive time away cat be for your pet — I’m happy to do what I can to keep the normalcy flowing for them. I am happy to follow all guidelines you have about your pet’s care, from leashed outside visits only to regular ear scritches. I care for pets how I would want mine to be treated — safely, and with compassion.
