“Samantha was wonderful! Very communicative and took notes when first meeting our animals. Left our house in lovely condition and was very respectful! Our animals were well cared for when we got back. Even our shy cat came out to say hello and get pets!”


“This was our second time having Alex stay with our pups and she was just as amazing! Our boys always look so happy with her and it’s so nice to know they are in good hands while we are away. I’ve been recommending her to everyone!”


“Jessica was wonderful! She sent us photos of our dogs throughout the house sit and left us a detailed note which was appreciated. She left our house very clean as well. We would work with Jessica again!”


“Kelsi was awesome! She did a great job taking care of our pups while we left for 4 days. Shared many great pictures throughout our trip and it looks like everyone had a lot of fun! The house was in perfect shape when we returned. Thank you Kelsi!”

“EXCEPTIONAL! Torrey goes above and beyond and makes your pups change their mind on who they love most. :) She did a great job house/pup sitting. We look forward to having her back!”


“Nina was great. Easy to communicate with. Dogs were happy and well cared for. I'm extremely picky about my dogs and who cares for them and Nina did a great job. She stayed at my house while we attended a wedding I never once worried about the dogs. The cute pictures she sent were an added bonus.”


About: I’ve had animals in my life since I was a baby. I have always enjoyed being around animals and playing with them and building trust with them and being able to cuddle with them on tough days. I have had different types of animals in my life. I have had dogs, cats, rabbits, Guinea pigs, hamster, bearded dragon. I currently work part time as a nanny on mondays and Friday and I also currently am trying to create my own business of refurbishing furniture when I have the time. So I am available most days. If yard is fenced I let them run and play and watch them at all times. Otherwise I will put a leash on them so they stay close. I will also pay attention to where they are at all times.

“I can’t say enough good things about Angels dog sitter, Sandy! She took such amazing care of our dog while we were away. From regular updates, and photos to make sure all of Angels needs were met. Our family felt completely at ease the entire time. Our dog was happy, calm clearly well loved. We highly recommend Sandy, and will absolutely book with her again.”


“Kris was fantastic! She was so patient and understanding with our overly nervous and anxious rescue dog. Our dog takes a while to warm up to strangers, so I was very nervous about having someone stay at our house, but Kris made me feel comfortable from the moment she first met our pup. Kris provided thorough communication the entire weekend. I would highly recommend her and definitely hope to have her house sit again!”


“Joleen was wonderful with our home AND our two pups during our week away. Great communication and made us (and our dogs!) very comfortable. Hoping to be able to have Joleen as our more permanent pup (and home) sitter when needed.”


“SO happy & pleased with how Megan & Lucky treated our precious Wilson and home. We feel so lucky to have found them. They left our home in tip-top shape and Wilson was as happy as can be :) Seriously impressed!”


“Tori did an excellent job taking care of our home and pups while we were gone. We have a very senior dog who needs medication and bathroom breaks multiple times each day along with a 1 year old puppy - not the easiest clients to take on ;) She also took care of monitoring the water for our backyard chickens. She was very professional, respectful and we will definitely have her back to our home in the future.”


“Heather was great! Scheduled a meet and greet in advance of our first reservation to do an introduction for our dogs. Very communicative and caring! Our dogs loved her!! We will definitely use again!!”


About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs and cats, both for my own family pets and for friends and relatives during extended stays (from a weekend to a week or more). My pet-sitting duties have included feeding and providing fresh water, taking dogs on walks, playing fetch, offering plenty of affection, and keeping owners updated with regular communication. I’m also happy to handle basic house-sitting tasks during my visits. At home, I’ve helped care for our family’s two dogs and one cat, including bathing and light grooming for the dogs. Being an active person, I truly enjoy going on walks, playing outside, and even running with energetic pups who love to move. My goal is always to make sure pets feel happy, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I’m available weekends, and weekdays after 5 p.m. I also offer house sitting, as long as your pets are comfortable being on their own during the day Tuesday through Thursday while I’m at work. I’ll make sure they get plenty of love, walks, and attention when I’m home! I'm an animal lover through and through, and I treat every pet like my own. I give them love, attention, and care while following your instructions to keep them happy and safe. I’m happy to share pictures and updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: Dogs have been apart of my life forever! The passion grew after working in pet retail for a number of years. I have been a Dog Mom, Dog Auntie and Foster Mom. I know the stress boarding can put on a dog, especially older dogs. I have been through a Reactive Dog course due to fostering. I have basic training knowledge from pet retail. I have helped neighbors and friends over the years, care for their dogs, while they have been out of town. I'm looking to expand my network. My normal work schedule is M-F, 730am-4pm. I have the ability to WFH, as needed, if more attention is needed for your dog. Otherwise my days/weekends are flexible. I live in Webster and work in Faribault. Looking for areas of Elko New Market, New Prague, Lonsdale, Northfield/Dundas, Faribault and places in between! I am currently available to dog sit in your home. That way the dog is in their own environment and not stressed with new surroundings. Once the dog(s) get to know me, I would be open to them staying with me. Dogs will always be on a solid leash, no retractable leashes, when outside of a fenced area.

About: I have had pets all of my life. I was a pet sitter in college for several families. I also worked at a doggy daycare & boarding facility where I fed, bathed, administered medications, let outside, and worked with owners to provide the best care possible. From June-August I am very open weekdays and weekends. August-May I am open evenings and weekends. I can be flexible with what works best for you. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every pet like they’re my own, with love, patience, and lots of belly rubs. I create a calm, pet-friendly environment where animals can feel safe, whether we’re at home, on a walk, or just hanging out. I’m reliable, communicative, and respectful of your pet’s routine and your home. I’ve also worked as a nanny and personal care assistant, so I understand the importance of trust, attention to detail, and creating a peaceful environment. Whether your pet needs structured care or just a cozy cuddle buddy, I’ve got it covered!

About: Hi, I’m Libby! I worked at a dog kennel for 4 years and have been dog sitting for families since high school. I’m experienced with all kinds of dogs and love making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’ll treat your pup like my own and keep you updated along the way! Right now, I work part-time retail (mostly evenings), and I’m currently looking for a full-time job, so my schedule can be a bit flexible during the day. While things are a little up in the air, I always make sure to plan ahead so pets get the care and attention they need. If something ever comes up, I’ll communicate clearly and make sure your pet is still well taken care of. When caring for pets in their own home, I try my best to stick closely to their usual routine to keep them comfortable and happy. I make sure they’re fed on time, get plenty of play and potty breaks, and feel safe while you’re away. I’m respectful of your space and always keep you updated with how your pet is doing!

Vicki O.
“Vicki helped me in a pinch when my other sitter fell through. She was kind, patient and eager to help. While a 100lb shepherd can be very intimidating, one with digestive issues on top is a handful. Vicki took the time to meet,lean, play and bond. She sent me updates while I was gone and made sure he was well taken care of. I think he likes her more then me now 😒😆”


Dreonna F.

“She is wonderful. I threw her a loop by adopting a dog which ended up having separation anxiety. She dealt with this very well. She is just an angel with my 3 pups”
