“Preston came over prior to dogsittting for a meet and greet with the dogs. We have 3 large dogs which can be a lot. She did great with them over the weekend! We would definitely book her again!”

Sara K.

“Chad was so amazing with our dog Penelope! I think she thoroughly enjoyed her stay. Chad often gave updates and photos, which made us feel at ease. We would 120% use him again!”

About: I have owned dogs most of my upbringing and early adulthood. I now have more free time to help others take care of their dogs without worry. I work a part time waitressing job, mostly in the afternoons. So I am free all day long while you are at work. I am able to flex and change my schedule for you! I am free to watch your dogs in your home so your animal knows its environment is safe. I am also free to just pop over and take your dog for a long walk.

“Courtney stayed with our 2 dogs and 2 cats over Thanksgiving weekend. She gave daily updates, pictures and managed things well.”

“Rory took great care of the dogs, other pets and the house. He communicated quickly with any questions or concerns. I would highly recommend Rory.”

About: My family always had pets while I was growing up. We used to breed labradors. When I was in jr high and high school I would do a lot of volunteering at the local veterinary clinic in Cottage Grove. My family has two wiener dogs (Slinky and Dewey) and one kitty cat (Zackary Binks). My sister is a dog groomer and I have on numerous occasions gone over to help her care for her puppy clients. I currently work a full time job on 2nd shift but am home durning the day Monday-Thursday and am home all day Friday through Sunday. I have a decent sized yard alone with an empty plot next to me to play with your fur baby. I also live down the street from a dog park that my kiddos and I enjoy going to with our own fur babies and would love to bring yours with to join in on the fun.

About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember—everything from energetic Labs to laid-back Basset Hounds, plus a rescue puppy that I personally helped train and grow into a well-behaved companion. That hands-on experience has taught me how to understand different temperaments, energy levels, and care needs. From basic training and leash manners to patience with shy or stubborn pups, I’ve learned that every dog is unique and deserves personalized attention. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I genuinely enjoy building trust and creating a positive, fun experience for them every time we’re together. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a long adventure walk, or just some extra love while you’re busy, I treat every walk like it matters—because it does. I tailor each visit to your dog’s personality, pace, and needs, making sure they feel safe, stimulated, and happy every step of the way. You’ll get regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in caring, responsible hands. From playful pups to senior sweethearts, I’m experienced, attentive, and ready to keep tails wagging. Full time job but available in the evenings and weekends to take care of your furry friends, whether that’s a potty break or a walk on my way home from work, or hanging out all weekend! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, medication, or any specific habits your pet is used to. During visits, I make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, not just the basics. I keep their environment clean, refresh water bowls, and make sure they’re safe and comfortable before I leave. I’m also mindful of your home, treating it with respect and keeping everything just as I found it.

“Olivia did a great job with our gentle giant Raven. She stayed two nights, sent photos and provided updates. House was left in great condition too!”

Mary Pat C.

“We have used Carolynn multiple times for different things-walks, drop in visits and now overnight in our home. Every time, she is so patient with our crazy, resource guarding dog. He gave her some issues and she figured out ways to deal with him. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, knowledgeable and patient with difficult dogs.”

Lisa T.

“Maya was totally wonderful with our 2 dogs and cat. She stayed at our house, left it in great shape, and loved on the animals. Our dogs have some unique needs - one needs to avoid greeting other dogs, and the other had some meds to take this particular trip - and Maya handled it all like a champ. We're lucky to have her as a reliable walker and housesitter!”

Madeline R.

“Sophia was wonderful. Great communication with us. The dogs loved her and were very comfortable with her. I highly recommend her and we hope to book with her again.”

About: One of my favorite things about working with dogs is that every dog has a different personality. I take the time to learn what makes each one comfortable and happy, and I adjust my care to fit their needs. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, playful, or laid-back, I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week. I enjoy staying active, so dog walks and visits are something I genuinely look forward to. I make it a priority to be dependable, communicate with owners, and ensure pets receive the attention and care they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow the owner’s instructions and routine to help pets feel comfortable and secure. I take the time to build trust with each pet, pay attention to their individual needs, and provide plenty of care, attention, and updates while you’re away.

“Kristin stayed with our pups for three nights! She was very accommodating of their schedules and they seemed to be happy! She sent pictures daily and kept us updated on how they were doing. We would recommend Kristin to others!”

Shannon N.

“We did our first overnight with Natasha and Astrid. Astrid was very well taken care of and a very Happy girl! We can't wait to have Natasha watch Astrid again in the very near future!!!!! Thanks Natasha for taking such good care of our furbaby!!!!”

Tammy S.

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.

“Rachel was a lifesaver for us. Very accommodating and helpful. I have pretty complicated feeding and medicine instructions due to some recent health issues with my pets and Rachel followed them fairly well as far as I could tell when I got home. She was really communicative during the stay and sent a lot of pictures which was great.”

About: Although I have minimal experience with pet care, I’ve been around animals my entire life. I’ve grown up with multiple dogs and cats in the house. I absolutely love pets and take pride in the patience and gentleness that I’ve been blessed with. I always show the absolute most love that I can to pets. I’ve also lived on farms for the majority of my life with animals like cows, horses, chickens, and even donkeys. All being said, I love animals and will give nothing but that love to yours! I currently work part time, giving me plenty of time to spend time with your pets and give them the attention they need. I live in town and work In the area, making for easy transportation to your house when needed. This doesn’t stop me however from traveling further out if you live further away! Every where I go, I go with the mindset of leaving it better than I left it. I am careful with my surroundings, and always make certain to keep everyone out of danger and trouble.

About: I have cared for animals ever since I was a child. I am a caretaker by nature after years of working in healthcare. I am now a stay at home mom to a one-year-old and a 12-year-old. We also have a playful three-year-old yellow lab female. I am available throughout the day and night to provide care and attention. Can watch at my house or yours. We do have a fenced in yard. I am a stay at home mom so perfect for giving your pet all the love and attention they need. I am also available most weekends. I have a fenced in yard. We have a three year-old female yellow lab who is fixed. I can also leave her home with the family if care is needed at your house, I do have a one year-old who is attached to my hip most of the time.

About: When my friends go on vacation, I am the first person they call to petsit! Animals warm up to my calm demeaner quickly, and I've been told by pet owners that their shy animals have never been so friendly to a new person so fast before. I have experience caring for cats & kittens, dogs, and birds. I am very patient and gentle with animals, seeking to understand their physical and vocal cues to know what they need. I am also an expert at playing fetch and tug of war with dogs, and my expertise with cat feather wands means the cat usually gets tired before I do. I love walking, so it's a bonus if your pup wants to come with! I am a graduate student at St. Thomas with a part-time tutoring job during the school year, so I have plenty of gaps in my schedule to care for your pet. This means that I can spend time during the day, night, and weekend with your pet, including returning home for potty or play breaks in between tutoring or classes, depending on the needs of your pet. I am also available to stay overnight with your pet, so long as they don't mind helping me with my homework! I am vigilant and aware while pet sitting, making sure I know where your pet is and never leaving any doors, gates, or windows open. For example, my friend lives in an apartment and has two kittens who like to escape into the hallway, so I also create a barrier when I open his front door to ensure they stay inside. His windows also don't have screens, so I make sure they are always shut and locked up tight. I love interacting with and talking with animals when they are around, so even if I am busy working on my own projects, I'll take frequent breaks to catch up with your pets and give them attention.
