“Jessica is nice & she is good with Dexter! Takes him for walks and everything. She worked during her stay, which we agreed to, but she was gone a little longer than I expected based on her work schedule. Otherwise, she was good with Dexter and left the house in good order when she left.”


“Zayda is the one you want to call if you have to leave your precious pets and know they are in capable and loving hands. My dogs and cat love her and her dogs. She is responsible, knowledgeable, trustworthy and an excellent communicator. I always feel bad leaving my pets but with Zayda sitting, I know I can enjoy my vacation.”


About: I've been a dog owner for 40 years, and was a foster for a few years for MARS. Although I specialize in German Shepherds, I have taken care of just about every type of dog. My housemate, where I currently live, has 2 rescues - one is a lab/Pitbull mix. The other is a Chihuahua/Jack Russell mix. I also dog sit regularly for my daughter's dog (rescue Pitbull mix) and my son's dog (Belgian Malinois). If I have a special skill I guess it would be that I understand rescues. I'm semi-retired and have a very flexible schedule. I'm in the North Metro but I occasionally drive for Lyft, so I'm familiar with the Twin Cities in general. I'm an early riser so if your dog is as well - that's fine with me! The dogs I've cared for get several walks per day - or ball tosses if there is a fenced in yard. For those dogs who get along with others, we love the dog park. We make sure to go potty before bedtime! My dogs get two meals per day - but if yours get three meals, that's fine too. I've taken care of dogs who need daily pills and those which are in heat. I don't need much when staying at your home other than internet. I bring my own food. I prefer longer stays rather than short ones so I can learn the dog's routine.

“Melanie was great with my two dogs and cat! She gave them all the attention they needed!! lots of love, time, attention and play! They were her top priority for the whole week! She also sent pics and updates.”


“McKenzie did an amazing job with our pets! We have a young energetic pup and a couple crazy cats and McKenzie did amazing making all of them feel comfortable. The updates she provided made me feel so comfortable while we were away. And the pictures she sent were better than any of the ones I have taken. She also left the house way better than we kept it. 10/10 will definitely be using her again.”


About: I have been a dog owner and lover my whole life, I’ve taken care of breeds big & small all ages of life! I recently made my own hobby farm; which includes chickens! (Chickens are kept in a coop) I currently work full time and while at work our dogs are in a crate. We are outside most of the evening after work taking care of our chickens, training Annie & Oakley for hunting, and of course playing fetch! On rainy days we love chillin inside being lazy ☺️ We have dog leash’s and anchors for the yard, and an outdoor kennel. I ask that owners provide their own crate for overnight stays. We have a morning & evening routine with our current animals and we have a lot of play time & belly scratches!

About: From the day I was born I have been around animals in the family and learned to love them (and all their quirks!). I am currently a dog mom of3 and I’d love to help you with reliable care for your fur babies in the family! I work remotely from my home, so I have some flexibility during the weekdays to let your pet out take a walk if needed. Evenings I am much more flexible and am happy to assist on weekends. I am open to caring for your fur babes however you instruct me to. I know every dog/cat have different quirks, traits and personalities, so I will always lean on the owner to tell me what they need.

About: Ive been taking care of animals since I could walk. I’ve been trusted by friends, family, and neighbors since I was 10 years old to care for their homes, pets, and plants while they’re away. I’ve been proven to take care of multiple different types of animals including cats, dogs, reptiles, birds, fish, and farm animals. I have also help rehabilitate multiple different kinds of wild animals including birds, raccoons, deer, and other small animals. I have loved every aspect of pet care and house sitting. I strive to give animals the best care and respect possible. Your animals deserve more then just a clean up crew and a 5 minute walk while your away. The longest house sitting experience I have had was 3 weeks straight, they came home from their trip happy and pleased to see a clean home with happy animals. I successfully trained my two dogs when I was 9 years old. I’m more than willing to give your animals the care, love, and respect they deserve. I’m currently working part time at a nursing home 6:30am-2:30 pm on a block schedule every other weekend and every other day, however I’m in search of a full time job where I am valued and respected. Pet care and house-sitting are my main focus. I’m available every day of the week only sometimes after 2:30pm depending on if I work, and would love to spend my day caring for your home, plants, and animals. I currently have a 13 year old lab mix named Ellinore who scared of dogs but loves cats. I wouldn’t be able to bring your animals to my home and will not be bringing Ellinore to your home.

About: Hey there! I've grown up with dogs my whole life, so I'm super comfortable around them and have tons of experience. I've got two adorable pups of my own that I adore! I'd be happy to give your furry friends the same love and attention I give my own – they'll be treated like family! My current work-from-home schedule provides me with considerable flexibility and availability throughout the week, including evenings and weekends. I am eager to adapt my schedule to best meet your needs and deadlines. I am confident I can effectively integrate my contributions into your needs ! My house has a great big fenced-in yard – perfect for zoomies and playtime. We love going for walks and sometimes even treat ourselves to a pup cup! If I'm at your place, I'll happily follow whatever schedule or rules you've got. Just let me know what works best for you!

“Alison is a great communicator and contacted us promptly with any questions or concerns. She took great care of our elderly dog and cat and left everything exactly as she found it. We would welcome Alison in our home anytime as she proved to be trustworthy and reliable.”


About: Dogs must be up to date on vaccinations as well as current with flea and tick prevention. I do accept unaltered males and females. But I will not accept unaltered males if I have females in season or am expecting to have a female in season. Boarding is in our home where your pet will be treated like family. While you’re out on the resting on the beach your pet will be resting on the couch! (Or one of our dog beds, whichever they prefer). As long as your dog has good house manners I do not require them to be kenneled while unsupervised. If your pet might be a little mischievous while I’m out running errands I do appreciate it if the family brings a kennel so we have no worries. Dogs are all fed individually in separate areas to prevent any food aggression issues, someone stealing food, etc. I also have a camera in my living room area that I use to check on them if I need to run into town for whatever reason. Weather permitting, we live on a dead end road, your pet will be taken on walks throughout there stay unless there is a reason they are not able to. With over 10+ years of experience with a large variety of animals your pet(s) will receive top quality care! Let me know if there are any questions! I do currently work. The longest time your pet would be unattended for is 4-8 hours at times. Which I do have some flexiable with that if you are worried this schedule might not work with your pet. I currently have two German shorthair pointers of my own to accompany your fur baby while you’re out and about. I let my dogs out on a check cord if I am unable to supervise them for any reason so they can have a potty break. We go for walks and have supervised playtime in the yard weather permitting!

About: I can care for any type of animal you can think of. Let me know the animal and I will help you out! I have taken care of exotic pets to farm pets. I work a part time job so I have a lot of free time to hang out and take care of the animals I am sitting. Your animal will not be left alone for more then 2 hours at a time. I will care for your animal as close as I can as you do yourself. Your animal will feel at home and loved and cared for.


“Angie was awesome! She stayed at our house overnight and took care of our three dogs. She was very patient even when our puppy kept her up all night. She left the house clean. She was even willing to help us with our farm critters. We would definitely recommend and plan on using her in the future!”


About: I have been graduated from college for a few years now and working at an aluminum extrusion company in Loretto. I would love to spend my free time caring for all dogs. I have 2 dogs of my own, Axle who is a melow snuggly pit retriever mix and Bindi who is a cuddly 40lb lab mix. They were both adopted from a rescue center and were brought up from the south. I hope to be able to adopt alot more dogs someday. I also grew up around dogs and love dogs of all sizes and breeds. I am great with them and love to go on long walks and play fetch. I am a great belly rubber and dont mind giving them all the attention they need. I would love to be able to hang out with your cute pups! I currently work full time 8:30-4:30pm. I have plenty of time in the morning and in the evenings to be able to help walk your pups or stop in to give them potty breaks. I care for dogs by giving them lots of love and snuggles along with lots of play time. I make sure they are fed and have plenty of water for after play time.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats. My parents currently have 4 dogs that I help with often. I have 1 dog of my own. I’ve also had guinea pigs and fish at one point. & I did a day of horse camp. I’m open to caring for any type of animal. I understand how hard it can be finding care for a loved pet, therefore I can be flexible & affordable. I’m a single mom and work full-time, but can try to be flexible to accommodate your needs! I’m typically available Friday-Sunday. During the week, I could stop by during the evening for drop-in care. Let me know how I can help! 😊 I work full-time at a dental office and am also a full-time single mother. I can do drop-in care some early mornings during the week, and/or most week nights. Weekends can be flexible with multiple daily drop-ins if needed. I help with my parents dogs while they are away. I feed them, give them treats and give them fresh water. They are let out on a chain. They have a chain that I put them on. With my own dog at home, I walk him out to use the bathroom. I love to snuggle pups 🐶 ❤️ and am open to whatever kind of care you require for your pet.

About: Natural caretaker, but it is even easier with the fur babies! They naturally absorb all that love, and I've got a lot to go around ^-^ Enjoy being active and having some company to do those activiities. Your animals may wear me out, but they'll be tuckered, too! And I'll be happier for it ^-^ I have a mostly open schedule, so I will be fluid with your decisions regarding your animals. I can hold a weekly schedule or do individual daily taskings. We have 5 dogs currently residing in the house, all of varying size, demeanor and energy! They stay plenty active with each other, but love getting to run around out in the open yard. All love the solo time, as well 😄

Christine J.
“Christine did a fabulous job taking care of our dog! She sent a message and photo each day we were gone. We have a dog who has many fears, particularly concerning storms and loud noises. In addition, we had just lost our older dog whom Freckles looked up to for guidance and support. We were thrilled that Christine was able to help our dog stay calm through a thunderstorm and brainstormed ways to keep her manage the fear. Our dog was still very sad about losing her sister and Christine was very empathetic, keeping her company. We highly recommend her as a dog sitter and would be happy to use her again.”

“She is very caring and loves her pets more than anything! She is the one person I would trust to leave with my pets for days! She spoils her pets rotten & mine!

“We had Emery watch our 7 yr old GSP in January and I would highly recommend checking her out if you need car for your pup! We did a meet and greet before just because Minnie had never been to another person’s home before, always in a kennel type setting or with us at home or in our camper. We got a few updates and picture while we were gone and Minnie looked to be having a fantastic time in her home and not locked in a kennel. We wanted to find a more comfortable place to board her as she ages and Emery fit that perfectly. We will definitely use her again!!”
