“Jenna was outstanding and reliable. She took wonderful care of our two cats (one male, one female) while we were out of town. Each cat requires different feeding and care and she handled that without a hitch. She kept us posted and sent plenty of pictures. We highly recommend her and if available, will gladly ask her to take care of our cats again next time we're away.”


“Carolina took such good care of our 7 month old puppy. She was walked and ready for a nap when we returned home from our appointment. We will be booking her again.”


“Lindsay was awesome! This was our first night away from the dogs where we decided to leave them at home and have a drop-in dog sitter. I was nervous, but Lindsay did a great job and put us at ease. She checked in on our dogs 3 times and provided detailed updates and sent us photos during each visit. We’ll definitely have Lindsay watch our dogs again in the future!”


“I cannot say enough good things about Rochelle. She has been amazing with Henry. I get pictures/updates after every visit and it really puts me at ease knowing Henry is in good hands. Rochelle is also very responsive and super easy to work with. She is a great person and Henry looks forward to seeing her every day!”


About: My name is Mary I would love to welcome your fur babies into my home, while you are away! My family - Me - I love dogs! I always have. I went to school to be a dog trainer when i was 18. I have owned German shepherds, labs, Rottweilers, pomeranians, cockerspaniels, and a couple muts. My dogs are my children and arr 100% spoiled. My backyard is a doggy heaven. I keep a 1 ft pool on the deck to cool off throughout the summer. Coedyn ( 8 yo son) - coedyn loves to run and bike and be fast all the time. Coedyn loves when we watch younger dogs so he can play fetch and tug of war. Ryker (6 yo son) Ryker loves being close and loving on the dogs! He pretends every dog is his he will give them kisses and hugs and snuggles all day. Ryker also loves giving treats to the dogs, and when I'm not looking will share his dinner with them too. Dan (my dad) - my dad lives with us as well, and helps when ever needed. Dan loves all animals! Dan helps with pickups and drop offs of dogs when I am busy with my kids. When I need to leave the house Dan will sit with the dogs so they are not alone in a strange house! Mindy moo - June 1st 2023. Mindy is learning fast! She loves people and has a problem with jumping on them. She loves to wrestle a lot! She also loves her bones. Mindy is food aggressive so she only eats in her kennel (all my dogs do for safety) her favorite place is caribou for a pup cup. Rainy( 8 yo cocker spaniel rottweiler mix) he is LOUD. He loves to bark and growl and chase things, but most of all he loves to cuddle. As a busy house of lots of people we stay active! We have a HUGE fenced in yard, with lots of bones and antlers and toys. In the summer the dogs have their own 1 ft pool they can play in or cool off in. I change the water often as to make sure it is safe. We take at least one walk a day sometimes two. If the weather is bad we go walk around fleet farm and let the dogs use their nose to guide us through the store. If wanted I can bring well trained dogs to the Shoreview dog park to run some energy. I recently started a new job and am now at work a hydrid schedule monday- Friday from 8 am to 4 pm. On Mondays and Wednesdays I am in the office and Dan helps with any and all doggy needs. The rest of the week I work from home and the dogs play in the yard and throughout the house all day. A typical week day starts at 6 am. We get up and go outside for a little bit to wake up stretch and have a potty break! At 630 I feed breakfast in kennels/separated. From 7-8 the dogs get free play and can run in and out as they want and have fun. At 8 am I do separate all dogs and head to work. At 930 am my dad comes up and let's all of the dogs out to play and lounge around the house. During this time they are let out as much as they want to playing the fenced in back yard. At 1 pm the dogs are given a bone and separated to take a nap and my dad leaves. At 430pm I arrive home and the dogs get to run the yard for a bit and I bring them for a walk around the neighbor hood. After the walk they can play and relax while I get dinner ready for my family. At 6 pm we sit down for dinner and all dogs are separated and given their dinner. From 7-10 the dogs get to playand have fun running around. At 10pm we all go to bed. I understand while I am working the hydrid schedule, this makes me less available for pick up and drop off times and I am sorry for that! But I promise your pups will be happy and played with and come home tired! I have a 6 ft privacy fence around a big back yard. I have 2 dogs to keep you dogs company. I have a gate in my home to block off the stairs and front door to ensure dogs do not get out of the front door. I have a kennel available to use if needed. And dogs beds placed around the house for them to use. Feeding is ALLWAYS done separately. I provide dog toys and treats throughout out the day. I also offer baths.

“Carly checked on Drummond and Driscoll cats for a week everyday. They were able to get wet food and Carly made sure they had everything they needed. She checked on the litter robot as sometimes this malfunctions and added litter. They are very shy and newly adopted so she was not able to see them much but they were very happy when we came home! Thank you Carly for watching the boys as this is the first time owning pets and was nervous about trying this service but everything went smooth. I would book Carly again to watch my cats. We were able to see Yellowstone and grand Tetons national park and it was amazing!!”


About: My family has had dogs ever since I was born. I grew up understanding their tendencies & behaviors, & am able to ensure proper treatment for all personalities! I work a traditional M-F, 9-5 job. I work from home both Monday & Friday which allows plenty of play time & attention! If needed, I also have the flexibility to work from home other days too! We have a fantastic, fully fenced yard that we got installed to ensure that Nelly has room to roam outside as she likes! We are a non-smoking home & furniture friendly to all pets to ensure a comfortable stay!

About: Hi, I’m Isabella! I am an animal lover with experience caring for dogs and cats. I am ready to provide daily care, including feeding, walking, and basic grooming! I am very active and love to play. I am dedicated to creating a safe and nurturing environment for all animals. I am a college student who is open 24/7! I am available from a quick walk to a 14 day stay. I have very open availability! I am very trained in handling dogs. I am capable of keeping a dog on the leash and crating a dog if needed. I am comfortable with about anything.

About: My name is Katherine, and I'm a wife and mother of two children. I have two pets, Ziva and Tony. Ever since I was young, I have loved dogs and cats. This love has become a passion that has led me to work with them daily. I have experience with all sorts of personalities, from nervous pups and kitties to overly friendly pups and kitties. I am comfortable giving medications like injectable medication, tablets/capsules, or liquid medications. I have experience with all ages, from younger pups/kitties to older pups/kitties. I work a full-time job Monday through Friday, but I am still available to care for your pet depending on what you need. Boarding in-house weekends only. If your pet feels more comfortable staying at their home, I can stop in multiple times and stay the night if desired. When your pup stays here (we are unable to board cats), they will have a large backyard to play in with Tony and Ziva. They can sleep wherever they want, from dog beds to furniture/beds. They will be loved as if they were my own. If your pup/kitty needs to stay in their safe space, I can stop in multiple times. When I stop in to check on your pup/kitty, I spend time with them, giving them some love. Or if needed, can stay over for overnight care.

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 12. It started with being in charge of my family dogs walks and feedings. I helped out taking care of friends dogs when they were on vacation with their parents. As an adult, I was a dog groomer for 5 years, have taken care of dogs of all sizes, breeds and ages. With my grooming background I am well versed in the needs of different breeds and puppies versus adult versus senior dogs. I have experience dog sitting for an extended period of time while the family was out of the country. I currently have a 6 years old boxer/bulldog mix and go above and beyond for the care of my pets. I truly believe animals deserve to be treated as well as our human children ad any pest who is visiting my home is treated as part of my famiy. I currently work full time and my schedule is Monday-Thursdays. Tuesdays-Thursdays I am home by 430. I will have plenty of time on weekends to play and care for and even take pets out and about. If a weekday is what you need, I make mornings and after work a priority for my dog to get the care he needs. I have a large, fenced in backyard. My dog is incredibly dog friendly and just wants to be every animals best friend. Dogs are welcome on furniture and beds.

About: My neighbors have relied on me to play with and care for their pets while they are away. I do poop pickup or clean out the cat litter. I also have done some minor cleaning at the house also to help out. I manage the care for my dog, Finn, daily. I have had the poop pick up and dog bathing chore since I was young! Finn sits at my feet all day long while I'm at my desk. I typically have used a garage code to get into the house or taken the dogs from the backyard if there is a doggy door. I will throw the ball or take the dogs for a walk depending on the request of the owner. I can also drive the dogs to a dog park to play and use a doggy seatbelt.

“They were great!!! Understood my cats illness and communicated clearly and precisely everyday on their visit. Spent time for extra pets in my cats favorite areas and changed the items/feeding amounts when asked. Will definitely book again!!!!!”

Treyton F.
“Treyton has a genuine love for animals. He has a very kind, caring and compassionate demeanor towards dogs which seems to put them at ease when they are with him. He is attentive to their needs and truly enjoys spending time with them. He is responsible and has done an awesome job with our dogs left in his care!”

Isabella A.Star Sitter
“Bella took great care of our kitties and dogs. She followed all instructions we left for her and you could tell they felt loved while we were gone. I would highly recommend Bella to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”


Katherine D.

“Katherine is a total gem! She watched my dogs recently and did an absolutely amazing job—especially with Hunter, who can be a bit of a handful. From the moment she met him, it was clear she genuinely loves animals. Her warmth and patience made Hunter feel completely at ease, and I could tell he was in great hands. One of the biggest bonuses? Katherine is a vet tech! Knowing she has that professional background gave me so much peace of mind. She was attentive, knowledgeable, and clearly knew how to handle any situation with confidence and care. I came home to happy, relaxed pups and couldn’t be more grateful. If you’re looking for someone who treats your pets like family, Katherine is the one.”


Amber S.
“Amber is great with animals and has owned & worked with them for years. Shes so loving and caring, and does nothing half-way. She’s got a great friendly dog and she’s never met a dog she didn’t love. I would trust her with my babies any day!”


Nicole K.
“Nicole and Brianna have walked with Dugan so much that their dog runs to us when we see them on the trails. Very caring family of dog walkers!”




Erin F.

“Great sitter, I would trust Erin with my dog anytime. She’s a great communicator and takes great care of Winston :)”


Kalia V.

“Kalia is so good with our pups!”


Mickenzi B.
