2. Shea P.

“Shea was amazing! I usually have family watch my dog, so this is the first time I have had someone outside the family watch her. I felt very comfortable and at ease the entire time. Shea did an excellent job and went above and beyond. I will be using her services again in the future :)”


3. Karen M.

“Karen did a wonderful job watching our 2 girls! We had never had a non-family.member watch our dogs in our house before. She made us feel very comfortable during the meet-and-greet and both girls, even the one who is very tentative about strangers took to her readily. Karen knew how to win their hearts rhrough treats, walks, and playtime on the floor. She let us know they were all doing well through photos and text. We will definitely ask her again in the future!”


4. Aida K.

“Aida was absolutely wonderful! She watched our great dane at our house for just over two weeks while we traveled abroad. She showed up before we left to make sure everything was set. She was very communicative, sent pictures and updates as well as handled household issues without needing directions. Our dog was well cared for with walks and snuggles the whole time. Needless to say, we look forward to having Aida sit again.”

12. Aubrey B.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cars of all sizes since I was little. I grew up with animals my whole life. When I turned 13, my neighbors would ask me to take care of their dogs and/or cats when they were gone. Whether it was feeding and letting them out or going on walks and cleaning the cat litter box or even giving them medication. I am currently enrolled at the University of Minnesota. My mornings are filled with classes but after 12pm on Mondays and Wednesdays, I am able to care for any and all animals. As of right now my Sundays are also open for care. I make sure that my dog is safe and happy at all times, I will hold the same standards for your pets. I am able to crate any dogs that need to be in their crate throughout the day, I can clean up any messes they make.


13. Andrea T.

“Andrea was great! My pup seemed very happy and well cared for when we got home from our trip :)”


14. Erin A.
“Erin has dog sat and dog walked my dogs and did a really great job. My dogs love her and are always excited to see her! She is fun and energetic, which is definitely fun for dogs!”


15. Mckenzie B.

“McKenzie did an absolutely outstanding job taking care of our pets, Mack and Katie, while we were out of town. Mack and Katie were happy, well-fed, and clearly enjoyed the attention and affection McKenzie gave them. She even went the extra mile to ensure the house was tidy and everything was in order when we returned. We couldn’t have asked for a more reliable and loving pet sitter, and we highly recommend her to anyone in need of top-notch care for their furry family members.”


16. Emma S.

“Emma was on time for our meet and greet and on the day she cared for our dog. She listened to and followed all instructions, asked appropriate questions, and took excellent care of our dog at our home. Next time I need a dog-sitter I will contact Emma first.”
