“Sophia stayed with our three pups during the blizzard week. Not only were our fur babies well cared for, she did an outstanding, above and beyond job caring for our home. We would absolutely have her come stay again! Highly recommend.”

“We're so happy that we found Tori! She and her fiancee stayed at our house with our 5 month old puppy for a week while we were abroad. We were nervous about leaving such a young puppy, but were so pleased with the care she provided our dog (+ my daughter's fish). She sent us regular messages and photos while we were away, and our house was as clean as it was when we left. She will be our go-to pet sitter in the future!”

“Kyle did an amazing job taking care of our 3 very needy, spoiled, and much loved pups! They adore him! He took care of the house, followed all expectations, was prompt, courteous, and provided updates while we were away. If he had any questions, he reached out and we really appreciated that! Highly recommend him for anyone who needs drop in or house sitting! Thank you for taking such great care of us!”

“Ryan was an amazing dog sitter! He was attentive, caring, and kept great communication throughout. My dogs were very comfortable with him, and I felt completely at ease while away. I’d definitely book with him again!”

About: I have 8 years and counting of taking care of all types of animals (dogs, cats, rabbits, and farm animals); my favorites to take care of are senior dogs and rabbits. I read animals and their needs better than I read humans (and I read humans pretty well) and I am more than happy to either meet their needs, or communicate with the pet parent when I notice something may be off with their pet. Communication and trust are the foundation of any relationship, and I hope to build a strong connection with you and your pet(s)! I currently work as a PCA for a family member, so I am pretty flexible when it comes to taking care of pets. I would be more than happy to travel to you and your furry friend(s)! I am unable to take care of your pets at my home, but I am more than happy to travel to you and your pet(s) and take them on walks, play with them, or whatever you need.
About: I’ve always had pets, and I love meeting other people's dogs and cats! I watch my neighbor’s and friends dogs all the time, and I love an extra cuddle bug. My partner and I would love to host your baby! I’m available most days and don’t really go out, so I have plenty of time for sleepovers! I work during the day and come home for lunch to let any dogs out. My partner also stays at home with all of your furry children! I have yard and a very pet friendly house with one dog and a betta fish. Every pet gets special attention, walks, and play time during their stay!

“I appreciate that Becki checks in to confirm booking details, especially on the return date. She makes sure my Zoey is not left alone for too long. I arrived home to a happy and well-cared for pup.”

“Jennifer took such good care of our two pups while we were away. She made sure they had lots of exercise, attention and belly rubs! The daily updates, pictures and videos were wonderful and helped put my mind at ease about being away from them. I think they really enjoyed their time with her! Would recommend Jennifer 100%.”

About: Hi, my wife Ali and I have been taking care of and walking dogs for years. We have 3 small dogs and 1 parrot of our own. We live in a large apartment that is very dog friendly and with a very nice brand new dog park in our complex. My wife is always home as she works from home and I work overnight so your pet will never be alone. We love to care for all dogs or other animals! We have 2 young children so your dog must be good around kids as well. If you have any questions please message me. Unfortunately at the time we are not accepting any large breeds (dogs that stand really tall on 4 legs) unless they are a small puppy and are 35-40lbs or less. We are am extremely flexible with pet schedules, as of right now we bring our own dogs out every 3-4 hours for potty breaks and playtime outdoors. I visit our dog park a minimum of 3x a day. We seem to be the only ones who really utilize it. We use the Fenced in dog park in our complex for free unleashed play and the dogs really love it and it has fun dog equipment and fresh dog water bubbler.
“Thienne took such great care of our pets and house while we were out of town. She sent regular pictures, videos and updates throughout her time here. Our pets were spoiled in a good way in her care; they look forward to another vacay so we can book Thienne again!”

“Julia is fantastic! I was nervous leaving our puppy for the first time but Julia put my mind at ease. Our pup Lucy hopped in Julia’s lap as soon as she walked through the door and I could tell she was in great hands! Julia was super communicative and sent photos which was totally appreciated. I would highly recommend Julia and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again in the future!”

“Mikaela did a great job watching our dogs. She provided lots of photos and videos of them playing in the yard and going for walks. She was very responsive and communicated well. Pups were happy when we returned. She also cleaned the sheets and towels she used which was very helpful.”

About: I've taken care of dogs, for walking and overnight arrangements, over the last 5 years and enjoy the experience. I'm easy to work with and a trustworthy person. I'm retired and have a flexible schedule so requests for daytime care, last minute emergency situations, or overnight stays are usually easy to accommodate and welcome. I will spend time with the pet, and the owner, to understand how to best care for your pup and to make sure we are aligned on the expectation when in my care.

About: Hi! I live with my boyfriend and we love watching dogs! I already have one dog and treat her like a princess. She gets along great with other dogs and it's nice to have that time with another pup. We do have a cat! Dogs naturally listen to me well and I've been watching and taking care of dogs for over 14 years. I moved to the Lakes Region recently from Seattle this Spring. I'd love to take the dogs out to the park, hiking, running, or just to the dog park. I live in an apartment and we take frequent outdoor breaks. Someone is always home for the dogs. I work out of the home two days per week but my boyfriend is available those days :-). Otherwise we are on walks and getting outside rain or shine! I can easily crate your dog if needed. We take frequent outdoor breaks and I never mind going outside. We have several parks nearby as well as being right off the Wow Trail.
“Kelly is amazing! We asked her last minute if she could do 2 overnights with 3 of our dogs (2 Great Danes and a terrier mix). Kelly did a great job and communicated really well - even texting me photos of the dogs. The dogs loved her - they looked so relaxed and slept in the bed with her! We are keeping her number on speed dial for the future. I would highly recommend Kelly!”

Cassie is the BEST! My first time ever using a pet sitter for my dog and it went flawlessly. Better than I could have hoped! My dog lost his best friend last year and he’s been very anxious when left home since, as he is completely alone now. He has a heart condition so I wanted to make sure he didn’t get too worked up while we went away. Cassie kept him so happy, I don’t think he even noticed we were gone! A short time after we got home and settled in I caught him in the window waiting for her to come back and although I felt bad, it was so awesome that we found someone he loves! So thankful to her for her services and the peace of mind. Also she’s takes phenomenal pictures 👌🏻

Dana was fantastic with my dogs while I was away! She was a clean and respectful house guest, kept me updated with pictures and messages, and even took the dogs for a nice walk. When I got home, they were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in her hands. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!

Leigh took great care of our two dogs and house while we were out of town. Daisy and CharLee were well cared for and given lots of affection and attention. She went above and beyond in looking after our dogs and keeping them company while we were gone. It was comforting for us and allowed us to enjoy our vacation a little bit more knowing that Daisy and CharLee were in such good hands.

We just used Thienne for the first time add loved her! She dog and home sat for us. She was tested on the first night as my dogs came in contact with a skunk and were spayed. She worked hard to bathe the dogs, get fresh air into the house and protect furniture and beds. She was flexible when sleeping in the guest room because our room smelled like skunk. She walked the dogs regularly, gave medication and food & water regularly. I love that she sent me two texts daily with pictures informing me of their day. I also came home to a clean house. Thank you Thienne for the incredible care you provided for my two dogs! I will absolutely use her again and would recommend her to anyone else.

Jennifer was amazing. This was our first time working with her and she was so responsible and amenable to our needs. She really learned what Libby's schedule is like, her food schedule, etc. and did a great job. She stayed in our house and left is as clean (or cleaner!) than when she first started the booking. I could go on and on, but I hope from this message you will know you can trust and count on Jennifer. That's really what you need from a pet sitter and she was perfect. We'll definitely rebook with Jennifer and thank her for her dedication to Libby and for her professionalism.
