“Kristen was amazing at communicating and taking care of our 2 pups. I believe they both enjoyed hanging out with her and looked happy when we got back :) very grateful and will be using her services in the future!”
“Penny was absolutely wonderful with our Bailey boy. He absolutely adored her and has been looking for her since we got home! She was very communicative and cared for him as if he was one of her own. 100% recommend her for any of your needs. We are ready to plan our next vacation knowing we have Penny to care for him ❤️”
About: I have over 2 years of experience working at dog daycares! With both cats and dogs. I currently have 2 dogs and 1 cat at home! I have experience administering medicine as I worked at a dog daycare in Fargo for 2 years. Additionally, I have experience de-escalating dangerous situations with animals and have been trained in animal CPR and first aid. I feed my cat at the same times every day and make sure to always find time to play with her. Pet care is naturally a part of my daily routine and I am very well organized and flexible enough to be able to add more. I would care for the pets in your home by following your instructions/guidelines and treating them how I would want my animals to be treated.
“Rachel was awesome! She was great at communicating and kept me well updated while I was away. My pup was happy and content in her care. She was super flexible with my last minute scheduling. She did an awesome job.”
“Paige was awesome and took wonderful care of our dogs and home. She communicated updates when needed and was always professional. We wouldn't hesitate in using Paige again when watching our home and dogs.”
“Judi was great with our nervous pup who hates to be alone. She was a very conscientious houseguest and communicated with us regularly about how our girl was doing. We're really happy we booked her.”
“Paige was such a gift! We loved all the photo updates while we were away and it's clear Paige is quite the cat whisperer. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our girls 🥰”
“Christine is a great caregiver! My dog & cats were given excellent care. She stayed a week and kept in touch so I knew how they were all doing. I came home to very happy, relaxed pets because Christine was so good to them. She fed, walked, administered medication and even cleaned up after them.”
“Kristina did a fantastic job coming and staying with my dog. She sent multiple videos and kept me up to date throughout my trip. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“Kari (and Maggie) are WONDERFUL, we felt so comfortable with having them watch our 2 pups at our house. She sent lots of photos and updates which helped us be able to enjoy our trip even more without worrying about them. Already planning the next time!”
“Abi took great care of Molly while we were on vacation. She sent us photo updates and left our space nice and clean. I will definitely be seeking out Abi’s help next time we are in need!”
“Katherine was always on time and professional, she sent me regular updates on the dogs and left the house in perfect order, even cleaned up, did some vacuuming and poop patrolled so that I came home with nothing to left to do except hug the dogs!”
“Cristina was a wonderful house/dog sitter. She sent us pictures daily and kept us apprised of what Kona was doing. The house was spotless when we returned. We would definitely use Cristina again!”
“Overall, Liv was great! This was my first time using Liv and was happy I did. Communication was on point, sent lots of pictures, kept the house in good shape and helped us by staying a little longer after our flight was delayed. Was really great with all the animals!”
About: As the daughter of a veterinary technician, I have been around animals my entire life. I have done dog sitting and walking since late elementary school and know a lot more than basic care from my mother. I have cast of my own and absolutely miss living with dogs! I’m open to pets of any size and any age. I am currently working part-time so I have flexible availability to walk dogs during the day. As for pet sitting, I would be able to make sure an animal is never left alone for more than six hours. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and animals of all ages. I know how to use a variety of different leashes and would welcome any information and input to make sure your pet gets the best care.
“Lacie did a great job looking after our zoo (2 dogs and 5 cats!). She was very conscientious and caring of all the pets and took great care of our house while we were gone.”
“Taylor was amazing in her care for Lottie. She carefully listened to Lottie‘s needs, and then paid a lot of attention to the most helpful ways of watching and caring for her. Would definitely hire her again!”

Erica was the best dog sitter we have ever had! She stayed in our home for 5 days and took such great care of our incredibly high-energy Australian Shepherd puppy. From the start, she was communicative, reliable, and incredibly trustworthy. She kept us updated throughout the stay and sent the most adorable (and hilarious) photos, which we loved. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We look forward to booking her again!
We truly lucked out with Julie when we asked her to start dog sitting for us about 4 years ago now. She is reliable, knowledgeable about pets and their needs, and truly cares for the animals and people she works with. Our dog Kona absolutely adores Julie and gets so excited whenever she comes to visit. We have tried boarding in facilities a couple times, but she just gets so anxious to be away from her space, so we are very thankful that Julie is able to come to us and give Kona the 1:1 attention and care she needs.
Liz was wonderful! She was relaxed, kind, comforting, and understanding with me as I was trying to take care of last minute details before I left to go out of town. She was very good with my nearly 17 year old dog, Sonny. Liz treated him gently and sweetly and put me at ease. While I was gone, she touched base with me twice daily and asked questions when needed. I felt relaxed that Sonny was in good hands. I will certainly use her again. Grateful!
This was our second time booking Rachel and she does a wonderful job with our high-energy dogs! She even took them on walks and played with them. She also keeps the house tidy and clean. We would definitely book Rachel again and highly recommend her as a pet/house sitter.
I would give Jeremiah 6 stars if I could! He was so great with my cat, Rumple. He visited a couple times before I left so that Rumple would be more comfortable with him. Great communication veggie and during my trip, plenty of pics and videos, and Rumple is calm and happy even though I was gone for 2.5 weeks. Will definitely be booking Jeremiah again in the future!
Giovanna looked after our Dash for 10 days. She sent up updates and photos from time to time and upon our return, he was cheerful and happy. Everything at our house was in good order, too. Throughout, Giovanna was professional and positive, even when our travel schedule changed at the last minute. This was our first experience using Rover and overall so much better than boarding! Thank you, Giovanna!
