“We always used Janet for our long term and short term trips for up to 2 weeks. We felt so secure with leaving our 2 cats with her! We always came back to them happy and well fed each trip and she took good care of our apartment as well. We are going to miss her and know her new clients in the Midwest will love her! :)”


“Marissa was wonderful with Jackson! She kept me informed and shared pictures while we were away. She was also house sitting for us which made our vacation worry free! I will definitely use Marissa in the future.”


“Will definitely book again!”


“Carissa is always so good with Ollie! We are so grateful to have the opportunity to go on vacation without having to worry about our fur baby at home knowing she’ll take great care of him. Always come home to a very happy boy!”



About: I have over 18 years of experience house and animal sitting from overnights to up to 6 weeks in duration; caring for not only dogs but also horses (full boarding barn to a couple of pasture horses), cats, fish, rabbits, goats, chickens, etc. I know what it's like to worry about my pets when I'm away, so I strive to give top notch care, follow all instructions, and have fun with your dog! All while keeping you updated with pictures/texts on how they're doing. I am happy to provide most any dog/house sitting arrangement, walking/visit or boarding. At our country home we have a peaceful and fun environment and private large field that is kept mowed. Your dog will be supervised very closely. Non smoking home. Thank you for considering me; I hope you have a great day! I am a stay at home mom to one and I am home most or all of the day. We are very flexible but also stay on schedule and can accommodate your dog's routine. We live in the country and have ample space for private walks as well as a large mowed field. I supervise very closely and am diligent about keeping your dog as safe as possible on leash while still having fun and exercising. I will feed and take dog out following all instructions.

“Kailey did a fantastic job with our dogs. We couldn’t be happier. It was nice knowing they were in good hands while we were away. The communication was excellent during the entire process. She sent daily updates and pictures that were very much appreciated. Thank you!!”


About: I have owned dogs and cats since I was 5 years old. In highschool I would dog sit for neighbors. As a teacher I always have a class pet. Now I am looking for a fun side job where I can earn money and love what I do. I am most available during the weekends as I work from 7:30 - 4:30, but I am happy to help overnights on weekends and in the evenings or afternoons on Fridays. I have a miniature dachshund of my own who would love to meet your furbabies if you think they would like company, and I am happy to accommodate yours and your puppies' needs. I can walk them, play with them, do basic obedience training, or any other specialized care you request. I would even be willing to bathe if you wish for a small fee.

About: I’ve owned dogs my whole life. Also have associates degree in Vet assistant. Worked at a vet clinic as well. Have dog sat for multiple friends and have had multiple dogs in our home many many times. I love animals and am thinking of starting business at home for doggie daycare/sitting! I currently work full time but trying to see if I can make this full time income. When home, our dogs are on the couch with us! Our yard is not yet currently fenced in but we have tie out so they can run. We also have dogs here for a friend

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since childhood. I personally have had large dogs and small dogs so I have experience with all sizes. I very much enjoy walking dogs, so if this is something you need, I offer this service as well. I currently work as a full time teacher. I’m available 6-7:00 to check in your dogs, feed and water and then at 4 pm til 9 in the evenings. Depending on how far you are from my job I can possibly pop in during the day to check in your dog. Your pet is welcome in my home and will be part of my animal family, they are welcome on the couch and they’ll have lots of place to run on my 17 acres place. As long as your dog is house trained they will have the main level to hang out with my dogs while I’m at work. The weekends I’ll around all day and if I’m out and about and the weather is not hot they can come in my car for rides.

“Great pet sitter, she was very responsible and took good care of my pets and sent me pictures every night so I could see how well they were doing.”


About: I have lived with animals of all kinds for as long as I remember, ever since I was about 5 I would help my parents feed and take care of the animals, and I still help with many thing weither it's bathing, taking on walks, giving hair cuts, giving vaccinations, cutting nails, or giving medication of all sorts. I am currently a senior in high school so on weekdays I have to wait till 4:00 to love your fur-babys as much as you do. I will give your fur-babys the same care and love as I give my pets at home, while also meeting your specific care expectations to keep your fur-babys safe and happy.

“Leah took great care of my cat! He's on a raw diet, & she was very responsive and attentive to making sure he was cared for despite being new to feeding this diet like I was. My cat is very shy with new people, but warmed up to her quickly!”


About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. Growing up on a farm, I have lots of experience with large animals and small animals! I have lots of free time on my hands right now. I’m available all day most weekdays. Weekends vary for me. Can’t wait for you to reach out to me! I would not be able to watch your pet at my house, as I have one dog that isn’t so friendly to new pets unfortunately.

“Jess was absolutely AMAZING!!! My pups Henry & Hazel just ADORE Jess ❤️. During my time away, Jesswas very communicative and sent so many pics (which I loved); not only that, she also replaced any food she ate and cleaned not only after herself, but also some things for me. Jess is one of a kind and I am so happy my pups and I found her ❤️”


About: I have been relied on to care for friends, family, and neighbors pets since I was old enough to take responsibility. When I was 14, my helping of peoples pets started when I watched a family friends dog for 4 years during week days and occasional weekends. I worked at a doggie day care facility for 4 months at the end of 2021, doing all duties that go into caring for our furry friends. I went to college to get a degree as a Veterinary Technician for a year and a half. During the time of schooling I worked in a vet clinic and took on the job role as a kennel technician, helping out with anything and everything I could get my hands on. I dropped school because of personal and external obstacles but would love to go back in the future to finish. I only aim to please and never disappoint! Please choose me to be your pets new best friend! I'm currently working full time Mon-Thurs 630AM-4PM, Fri 630AM-1030AM. I am mostly available during weekends. The earlier you book with me, the better. I like to plan ahead. I try to be flexible and fit in your pet sitting needs! When caring for pets in a clients home, I am sure to make sure that I am careful when first meeting animals as I know it could be dangerous because of their protectiveness. I make sure to look over instructions twice, and double check that all to-dos are completed before leaving the clients home. I make sure to potty before I leave each time to avoid messes and make sure that they get exercise/attention during my time with them, as I know they feel down without someone home with them.

About: I grew up on a farm and ever since I can remember I’ve been taking care of animals. I now have a dog of my own. I know how todo basic training for dogs. I have also pet sitted animals for family and friends for years I currently work for my moms business so I can be flexible with time. I can take breaks whenever and ask off so I’m open most days. I have a fenced in area for my dog to run around it that could be available for play dates. I take my dog for a walk every day. My dog is also very friendly with other dogs so it could keep your dogs company.

About: My family has always had dogs and cats. I have moved away and since gotten my own cat and dog. I provide all the extra love an care for my pets and would love to take care of yours too. I am currently a full time student at USM with lots of flexibility. I have extra availability on the weekends as well as the week days. I have a fenced in yard. My dog and I go on plenty of walks and play in the yard all the time. Lots of cuddles and love as well.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was about 8 years old with my own labs! This extended into caring for family, family friends and eventually neighbors and the occasional stranger’s dogs as I got older. Care has included walking, feeding, administering oral medication, bathing, and plenty of play and cuddle time. I’ve even worked in a doggy daycare previously! I’m comfortable around dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds. I am a current Master’s student commuting to UW-Stout Tuesdays-Thursdays, and work part time at a childcare facility on Mondays and Fridays. I would be available for a variety of afternoon or evening walks, potty breaks, or mealtimes! I would also be available on weekends for more in-depth care, stays and adventures. I live in an apartment that allows dogs, and am close to a variety of outdoor walking trails. Play time and cuddles are a free for all, but I tend to have specific areas for eating and sleeping for my dog. I am however comfortable with dogs on furniture, crating, or anything in between!

“Kim was very prompt and accommodating when needing a sitter last minute. She sent pictures when taking care of my pup, which was great! Would highly recommend her!”


About: I’ve done countless jobs dog sitting/house-sitting and I can be super flexible! Just let me know the details of each animal and what you would like me to do! I am available most days from 8a-10p. I do have a full-time job at Mayo, but I can always find a way to take care of your dog around my work schedule! I live in an apartment, so unfortunately I am not able to have the dog stay at my place. I am, however, willing to stay at yours.
