“My dog was very well token care off and was very happy, she sent videos I could show my daughter that he was doing ok. I would recommend jordan to anyone and well for sure being leaving my dog again with her!”
“Bonnie really enjoyed her stay with Colette and was hesitant to leave. Colette was quick at giving me updates on Bonnie and also sent me one picture everyday, which I am very grateful of. She was quick at responding and was really accommodating when I had frequent time changes on Bonnie's pick up. I would definitely recommend and use Colette again.”
About: Hi there! I’m currently a veterinary assistant with three years of hands-on experience, and caring for animals truly brings me joy. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and have lots of fun while in my care—whether that means going for a hike, playing fetch, or simply relaxing on the couch (if that’s okay with you!). I’m very comfortable administering medications and supporting any extra medical needs your pet may have, thanks to my background in veterinary care. In our home, we have one friendly pup who loves meeting new furry friends. I’m also a nursing student, but my classes are only a few hours a day, so I’m home most of the time and available to give your pets plenty of attention and affection. I’m happy to keep you updated with as many photos and messages as you’d like—it’s important to me that you feel completely at ease while your pets are with me. Let’s work together to create a warm, safe space where your pets can feel right at home! I have class a few times a week, but very much spend a majority of my time at home, there are quite a few weeks I’m also available! When they are at my home whether for daycare or boarding I take my dog on a 1.5-3 mile walk through our quiet town of Courtland. If weather permits I like to go to Flandrau or Fort Ridgley state park if your dog would enjoy that! I also have a backyard that I would be happy to play fetch in with your pets as well!
About: I have grown up caring for dogs of my own my entire life. I currently have a one year old dalmatian who loves to play outside in our fenced in backyard. I'm available for walks, check-ins, and overnight stays in my home. I work Monday through Friday, but work from home during the months of June, July, and August, so I can be flexible with my schedule to accommodate your pet's needs. On a typical day in the summer I spend a majority of my time outside with my dog. In my own home - My dog will be home with your dog, and they can play inside or in the backyard. My dog has access to the living room, kitchen, and fenced-in backyard through a doggie door. In your home - I will follow instructions from the owner based on your pet's likes and needs. I want to make sure all dogs are comfortable and not stressed.
About: I have had a dog as a family pet my whole life and I currently have a golden doodle! I look forward to spending time with your dog and treating it like family! I have a full-time job but I will make time for your animal when you need it! I can take them for walks and let them out as needed. I can easily crate your dog when needed and I will use a leash every time we are out to make sure that they do not run away.
About: When I come to your place, your rules apply! I can maintain schedules and normal activity for dogs, cats, horses and other livestock - you name it. I've done house and farm sitting since I was in college, and can provide references! Drop in visits and dog walking, depending on location, can be before I go to work, on my lunch break and after work in the evening. I grew up on a farm, and have been around animals my entire life. I understand animal behaviors (including those pesky "testing" tricks) and do my best to have a positive interaction with every animal I meet. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. Meet & greet appointments are required for every animal for safety reasons.
About: I’ve had a dog ever since I was a little girl! I love watching dogs play together & joining in on the fun! We have wide open spaces out here at our place! Your dog will be sure to enjoy the outdoors here with my 3 dogs, 3 kids and myself! My current work schedule is Monday-Thursday, so I’m available for weekend care Friday-Sunday! Other arrangements can be made if more days are needed! I’m very flexible! Your dog will be so cared for out here! Although we don’t have a fenced in area for your dog to play yet, I will ensure that your dog will get out as much as possible whether it be in a leash or indoors.
About: Hello! I am a HUGE dog lover and I would love to hang out with your fur babies! Long walks, beachin, park dates, fetch, and cuddles are some of my favorite things, if this sounds like your pup I think we will become the best of friends! I have many years of dog walking and sitting experience and we always have the best time and I look forward to seeing my little friends again soon. I have no preferences on breeds and any size. I do have a Puggle (pug and beagle) at home and he gets along well with all dogs. If you have any specific questions, I’d love to connect with you and answer any question you may have. Looking forward to hearing from you soon! ~Ciara
About: I am home FULL TIME, semi-retired remotely employed, your dogs will NEVER be left alone in my care. I have had 2-3 rescue dogs under my care for the last 20 years. I work remotely, am semi-retired, and in an emergency Fairfax has a local Vet Clinic 4 blocks away. I am always home and your pup will be safely cared for. I have a 5' chain link fenced area with privacy material, less stress on dogs, NEVER left outside. Your pup will go out my kitchen door through attached garage to the fenced area. I can also babygate dogs off separately (carpeted den) so that your pup feels safe. I don't use crates but can accommodate yours. My pups go outside every 2-3 years so pottying is no issue. There is a new Vet in Fairfax, 4 blocks away in an emergency situation. I DO NOT smoke, DO NOT drink, have an extremely well-cared for home and know it is difficult to travel or take day trips especially if you do NOT want to board your pet risking illness or injuries. Boarding facilities can cause kennel cough, terror and dogs feeling abandoned. I occasionally travel and bring my dogs with me on any road trips and know how hard it is to find someone you trust with your pup. I can text or video your pup's stay to ensure you have constant contact with him/her.

“I have known Ciara for 12 years and she is my absolute best friend! Ciara is caring, fun, energetic, trustworthy and so lovable. My English Bulldog loves Ciara and she is the only one I trust to dog sit for me, when I go out of town.
