“Our regular cat sitter had a last minute change of plans so I reached out to Maria. We have 5 cats with different needs and she did a fantastic job! She let us know about accidents and provided updates with pictures. We would absolutely go with her again, since she handled everything so well.”


About: I have years of experience working at a boarding facility, as a groomer, and as a private pet sitter. I am constantly researching and learning about dog behavior to make me a better dog owner. I am a dog nerd and still have dreams of becoming a dog trainer. I can be flexible with dog boarding at my house or drop offs for the day. Just ask for any questions! I currently work per diem and am unable to work due to my children’s various appointments during the week. Dog sitting is a job I can do while maintaining a household and it is work that I am passionate about! I truly enjoy having a bonus dog around. I love senior dogs, and their comfort is a priority for me. My current dog is also sensitive to any negative emotions, so we all try to keep things relaxed and enjoyable!

About: I have taken care of my neighbors, friend, and co workers dogs when they have been busy between jobs or out of town for extended period of time. I am currently on summer break as work remotely from home and will go to campus for weekly meetings. I am available all days of the week. I can easily take animals to local parks or on doggie dates with my coworkers-worker coaches that have dogs themselves. I work with owners to maintain animals normal routine.

About: I have lived with animals, my whole life! When I was younger, I used to dog and horse it for a farm! I would also house it for somebody with many cats! I love all animals, big and small! I am currently working part-time and I am a college graduate student! During the week I don’t really have anything going on unless I’m in school hours! I will not be able to board any pets at my house, but I am willing to house it for others! I used to do it a lot as a child and I’m very comfortable with it!

About: Grew up around lots of animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, and cows. Love spending time with them and making sure they’re as happy as us humans are!! I am currently working part-time and have room in my days to care for any and all pets! Willing to work weekdays as well as weekends. I am willing to care for pets in any environment. I am comfortable adapting to clients wants and needs and working to make sure their pets are as safe as can be.

“Melina was great! She dropped in on my two kitties over Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. She took photos, sent updates, and got along great with my cats right away. I would definitely recommend Melina and would book with her again. She was a responsible and kind pet sitter!”


About: I have experience with dogs that need medication and special treatments to include shots, eye and ear drops, medicated baths, and anything huh ing else your fur try companion would need. I’m currently a student and have a flexible schedule. I can adjust my schedule to yours on most days. I have reliable transportation to take your dog on outings. I have a fenced in yard with two dogs. I have areas to separate and kennel your dog if needed, along with separate feeding areas.

About: I will only be sitting cats, no dogs and no dog and cat mixes. I don’t have the experience necessary to properly sit your dogs. I work part time during the summer, and have other volunteering obligations besides that. My schedule is irregular, so I am fairly flexible with the times and days I am available for. I am a watchful person, I will keep an eye on your pet even if your pet needs space away from me. I will ensure that doors remain locked and that I keep your spaces secure after I leave them.

About: Short (to the point) version: **My husband & I live in Moorhead, MN. I work full time from the home. **I have experience with all dog types & some experience with puppy training. Although I have only been using Rover for about 9 years, I’ve been caring for dogs my whole life. **I am currently on maternity leave and can only handle drop-in visits. **We have a black lab named Cade. He is almost 4. He is rambunctious and would love a friend! But if your dog is not comfortable with a large breed around, he does have his own "area" gates in the house to keep him seperate. **I do not require we do a meet & greet, but I do encourage it as it helps to ensure I am a good fit for your pup. If you have an emergency and have a way for me to get to your pup (usually a lock box scenario), I’m happy to try to accommodate without a pre-meet. **You will receive updates about my visit/stay with your pup. I send pictures/videos/texts to ensure you are kept up to date:) Long-winded (get to know me) version: I love caring for pets; especially dogs! I was raised with Huskies and Basset Hounds & have been dog sitting for as long as I can remember. I volunteered for years as a dog walker for Homeward Bound Rescue. Because I care for all pets as if they are my own, my friends and clients feel comfortable knowing their little family members are in good hands. I'm an active person and love going for walks and runs. I love going for walks & hiking, but also enjoy a relaxing day at home cuddled up with a little friend. I'm looking forward to the opportunity to take care of your dog! I understand how stressful it can be leaving your family member with a stranger, but I assure you I'll care for your dog or puppy in the most loving and reliable way possible. I'm happy to check in with pictures and updates during care visits if you'd like as well. Lastly, no one will have access to any entry details, keys, lockbox codes you may share with me. I hold your safety in the highest regard. I am currently on maternity leave so my availability is hit or miss. If I can help, I will! But mostly just open to drop-in visits for now. I have a fenced in yard and a black lab who is sweet as can be to all animals and humans! I treat other people's pets as my own!

About: Animals have been a constant in my life - I’ve grown up with dogs and then fell in love with cats in my adult years. I know how much pets become family, and I’ve always had a soft spot for them. I’m comfortable with all ages and temperaments and have cared for pets through all stages of life - from energetic puppies to mellow seniors. Whether it’s walking, playing, feeding, or just keeping them company, I bring years of hands on experience and a genuine love for what I do. I currently work night shifts at a restaurant, which leaves my mornings, afternoons, and late nights open - perfect for walks, check-ins, or overnight stays. My schedule is consistent and gives me plenty of time to give pets the attention they need. Whether it’s a morning walk, midday hangout, or evening care, I’m available and happy to make your pet a regular part of my day. Your pet will be in kind, capable hands. I love being outside and staying active, so walks, park trips, and playtime are always on the table if your pet’s into it. I’ll follow their routine closely, keep things calm and consistent, and make sure they feel loved and relaxed while you’re away. Whether I’m dropping in, staying overnight, or just taking your dog for a walk, I treat every animal with the same love and attentiveness I give my own.

About: Hi there - my name is Hailey! I am an experienced caregiver who will treat your furry friend as if they were my own. I have had pets since I was a little kid, so I have many years of animal care and knowledge under my belt. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and a variety of breeds. I am also comfortable caring for cats. At our house we have three dogs who are my entire world, two cats who run the show, and chickens. We love our animals dearly and are so grateful for the joy they bring us in life! I am currently available on a very open and flexible schedule for the duration of summer! Towards the end of August my availability switches to evenings and weekends. I am open to drop-ins, walks, and extended care upon request. I would love to talk more about what it is you’re looking for! I am flexible, reliable, and trustworthy. I will follow all instructions thoroughly and will prioritize any requests you might have. I want both you AND your furry friend to feel comfortable and have the best experience possible!

About: I have had a dog in my house since I was 3yrs old. I have taken care of neighbors pets. I recently rescued a puppy from a farm and organized and found a fur-ever loving home for her. I am still in communication with her owner and get updated pictures. My dream growing up was to have as many dogs like in the movie "101 dalmations". I am able to spend the night over weekends at owners home. I am able to walk dogs during the week after 3:30pm-4:30pm. I am also able to bathe the dogs. I make sure I have plenty of time to care for the pets. I assure there is plenty of food and water out (or fed in time). I use a leash when caring for other people's pets to make sure they are safe. Spending time with the pet and giving them attention is important so they do not stress when owner is gone.
