“Stephanie took great care of my girls and my house. She was an excellent communicator and I loved the photos she sent while I was away. I would definitely have her back to care for my dogs again!”
“Can’t say enough wonderful things about Brianna! She took excellent care of our two dogs and our house while we were gone. I felt so confident leaving knowing she was taking care of our dogs and I didn’t worry about them at all. She provides great updates and treats your pets as if they were her own!”
“I definitely will be using Catarina again for any future bookings I need for Penny! She was caring, patient, and understanding with Penny.

“Samantha sent great updates and took good care of our fur friends while we were out of town. She took care in our home, as well. We will definitely request her services again.”
“Elizabeth was a wonderful pet and house sitter for us and would heartily recommend her to others. She was great with our elderly cat, who was happy and calm upon our return. She had clear, frequent, and professional communication that helped us enjoy our time away, knowing all was well at home.”
“Our 3 dogs really enjoyed having Katy around! She met us and the dogs before our trip. She was in contact with me and sent pictures the whole time we were gone. Would definitely have her again!”
“Oliver came over for a meet/greet prior to staying in my home with my 2 chihuahuas which was very helpful. He took great care of my girls and sent lots of updates and pix. I highly recommend him for any time you need pet care!”
About: Love all doggies every shape and size! Grew up with two beautiful west highland terriers who were the best birthday gift in the world for 10 year old me. Been dog sitting/ house sitting for my family and friends for quite some time now and thought I should start doing it more so here I am! I work a few jobs (some part time other seasonal work) super grateful that my jobs are extremely flexible and so fitting in dog care and dog sitting is easy and attainable. I’m very attentive when it comes to understanding and learning owners routines and schedules they have for their furry friends. Feeding times, what the dog likes and dislikes, how many times they need to be let outside etc. I’m always alert and aware if anything goes astray.
“Kayla was amazing with our Phoebe girl! She checked in often with updates, and we were able to enjoy a worry free vacation. Our skittish dog is easily stressed, but we were sent pictures of her snuggling, having fun and loving her new friend!”
About: Hi, my name is Annalyse and I am 18 years old. I grew up around lots of animals, including dogs, so I have plenty of experience, and I can’t wait to help you and your furry friend!! I can do a variety of services and am willing to do same day services when I am able!! I currently work for the city of Chanhassen as a park camp leader, and pet sitting is just a fun side job!! I am looking forward to pet sitting in my free time, but it is not my main job, however I hope to provide quality care to you and your pets!! All pets need different levels and types of care, but all deserve love. I am willing to do any service except for boarding, as my current home does not allow dogs. I can do house sitting as well as over night stays, however I would request a meetup prior to either of those services to get to know you guys!!
“We love Teresa! Couldn’t ask for better. She is so conscientious, and takes such great care of Remy, our Golden Retriever. We are able to relax on our travels because we are totally confident that all will be well at home while we’re away. We come home to a calm and happy Remy.”
About: I’ve been taking care of my neighbors and friends dogs for about 5 years now. I have my own dog as well that is now turning 8 this year. I am a very reliable and trustworthy person to look after your dog(s). I see them as equals. I love walking dogs, having play time together and of course the scratchys. I know dogs can have different personalities and I am someone you can rely on to take care of them. I am currently doing online school so as of right now I am completely free throughout the week to take care of your furry animals! I will care for your pets as my own. Will help them when needed. I will take them on daily walks, play with them, follow the instructions that you will give me throughly, and keep them safe from other animals, cars and anything else that will harm them. When I am doing an overnight watch I will let them go outside before bed (at anytime you instruct me to) and let them outside right away in the morning(or anytime you instruct me to) I will take care of your animals like my own.
“Lindy and Seth did an awesome job staying with our two boys. We got updates with pictures and videos several times a day and our pups were happy and safe. It means a lot to feel confident that our babies are well cared for while we’re away.”
About: A long time dog owner, I’ve dealt with it all. At the moment I just have grandpups. Now retired I spent my working years as a nurse, I have extensive experience caring for others and their animals too. I like staying busy and looking to spend time with the pets of the world. I am sensitive to how much trust is needed from someone else to take care of part of their family, communication is key. As a retiree my days are flexible, i stay active, exercise & socialize regularly. I take advantage of the great walking paths right out my door. I provide a warm welcoming presence and a few treats in my pocket. Being around animals brings me such joy. I look forward to understanding your pets needs and caring for them.
“Abigail was an amazing sitter. We immediately felt comfortable with her from the moment she met our pup. She had great communication and gave our pup all the love. Would highly recommend to anyone with any type of pet, her background gives her great experience and she is a sitter to be trusted.”

She was a perfect dog sitter for us, highly recommend! Kept us updated with how things were going, sent photos, and made sure our senior dog was comfortable at home. Our dog is really picky about who she gets along with, and she was comfortable hanging out with Madi who gives off great energy!
Emma was wonderful. When she came out to meet the girls - our dog and her "cousin" who was staying with us - our dog Lakota fell in love, in love, in love with her. Unusual for our Lakota. Our dogs were the best they've ever been at our homecoming. From her daily reports, it was the most time they spent out and about while we were gone. (They tend to hide or stay apart on their own while we are gone.) It was clear from her reports and their behavior that they received plenty of loving attention. She kept in touch and we could see that they were doing fine. Absolutely would love to have her for our kids again.
Catherine was fabulous with our dog and was a great house sitter too…we came home to a happy pup and a clean home! We loved her amazing communication and the pictures she sent while we were away. We enjoyed our trip knowing he was being well cared for! Highly recommend Catherine for pet sitting!
I can’t recommend Serena enough! She took excellent care of my dogs over Labor Day weekend and made the whole experience completely stress-free. Communication was great from start to finish—she kept me updated with regular messages and sent cute pictures that really gave me peace of mind while I was away. Not only were the dogs clearly happy and well cared for, but my home was left neat and tidy, which I really appreciated. It’s such a relief to know that my pets (and my home) are in good hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Serena again!
Our puppy Bjorn was so well taken care of by Sidney and Ronja! They were so friendly, easy going, flexible and accommodating! We received updates and photos and couldn't be happier with the stay. This was our puppy's first time away from us, so we were nervous, and we are so grateful for the great care he received. Thank you so much and would highly recommend (and Bjorn will be back!).
Lauren is absolutely fantastic! Our dog Harvey had the best time with her - including a field trip to get a pup cup! In addition to taking great care of Harvey, she was so respectful and thoughtful when it came to staying at our home. Would highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for great care for their pup!!
Julie and Rick are amazing dog sitters. They have watched a miniGolden puppy, mid aged high energy Border Collie/Springer mix, and a geriatric 13 yr. old Springer for me. They sent pictures and kept the owners up to date on feeding, walks, sleeping. It was very comforting to know and see what they fur companions were doing while we were gone!
