“Stephanie was genuinely attentive in ensuring our Bruno had enough engagement, attention and the care he needed to be comfortable during his stay with her. Highly recommend and will be using her again when we are in need for boarding services.”


“Alex (and company) did an amazing job looking after our two pups while we are away on vacation. We didn’t have a single worry from the minute we dropped them off. She provided excellent photos and adorable updates! Her kids and their own doggo made ours feel right at home 😊 would highly highly recommend!”


“I couldn't have found a better family to look after my dog "Piper" Benjamin took care of my pet for an extended period of time, while I was out of the country. He updated me weekly with photos. Piper sure was having lots of fun with Benjamin and his family. When I picked her up, she looked so happy and healthy with them. Benjamin was so accommodating when my flights were delayed or rescheduled. He was able to keep Piper for me and that really eased my mind. I will definitely be using Benjamin's pet boarding services again. I feel like they are part of our family and Piper definitely warmed right up and incorporated them into her fold! Everything was made so easy from drop off to pick up. 5 stars!!!”



“We met James for the first time and scheduled a 4 hour time to see how Bailey does at his house before booking an overnight with him. I am a very overprotective dog mom and I've never given a rating of 5 stars before but James deserves 5 stars. He did everything right to make me feel comfortable leaving Bailey with him. Although he was just there a few hours, he sent me some pictures and a video of Bailey playing with his dog and I so appreciate that. I always ask for pictures when leaving Bailey with someone but often times don't get any and I didn't even ask James for pictures! Bailey seemed to have a wonderful time there and I can always tell when he's had fun because he came home and slept for hours afterward. James is incredibly professional and if you need a good dog sitter, please try him out. I will for sure be using him again in the future.”


“Adam and Jess were absolutely fantastic with my dog, Denver! It was clear from the updates and photos that he was happy, well cared for, and getting plenty of love and attention. I highly recommend them and will definitely be booking again!”



“Elizabeth did such an amazing job taking care of my dog. I was super excited to see him but once we got home he decides it’s nap time so he definitely had a great time and is worn out! Thank you so much for giving him love while I was away!”

About: A lifelong dog person, I've hosted friends' dogs, from puppies to seniors, in my home for over 20 years. My husband, our dogs, and I love to spoil dogs when their family is away, knowing that the love and care we pour into dogs make their humans feel less anxious to leave town without them. Your pup can expect lots of walks, access to a doggy door, and a fenced-in backyard that is free from weed killers and other fertilizers. I have petsitting coverage through Pet Sitters Association. Having a part-time job means that I have plenty of time to provide your pet attention and affection. We'll get lots of quality time together! Walking dogs is an important part of my fitness routine, so your best friend will get lots of enrichment while you're away. Because we are such avid dog lovers, my husband and I set aside an entire room in our house for dogs to hang out when they need a safe place to hang out when we're away from home. This room has access to a doggy door, a fenced-in backyard with a locked gate, and grass that is free from fertilizer and weedkiller. Outside of this room, your dog will be free to hang out in our living room, snuggle up in a cozy dog bed in the office, or find some quiet in the kitchen or entryway. I honor your pet's sleeping preferences by allowing access to our bedroom if that is what they need to feel secure. Your dog will be loved and accepted, canine quirks and all!

“Kelsi was amazing! She sent us regular updates which we appreciated. We were a little worried about one of our dogs warming up to her, but Lacey warmed right up to Kelsi which says alot! We would highly recommend her to those looking for pet care services.”


“BEST we could have expected!! One of my dogs is very outgoing and and my other dog came from a very bad situation and is still pretty wary of people and everything. They did so good with both of them, i was so nervous about boarding but it was better than i could have ever guessed. They even sent daily in depth updates!”


“Tara and family went above and beyond to care for my dog! Efficient, dependable, flexible, and phenomenal at providing updates! Thank you thank you thank you!”


“Hayley was a great fit for our dog. Nice home in a quiet neighborhood with a fenced in yard are all wins. Communication was great and would definitely recommend Hayley. Thanks again!”


“Excellent communication! We loved the pictures she sent and it always looked like our dog was having a blast. I would highly recommend Selah!”


“Matt was an amazing choice to care for my pup, Pugsley. He gave honest updates and from that I could tell he was tuned in to Pugs and his needs. Matt was patient and had helpful solutions to any issues that arise with separation and Pugsley's behavior quirks. I could tell Pugsley was well cared for over the course of a long trip! 100% will call Matt again!”


“My pups loved the stay ! I was nervous that they were going to have an issue with the cats but nope! They were fine . She sent pictures so I had the reassurance . Will definitely rebook .”


“Rachel was fantastic! Rachel watched my pups for the first time over the holidays and they came back happy and tired. She was great in sending photos/updates throughout the day, listening to the instructions I left her with administering my husky’s oral medication, and overall it seemed like my pups had a great time. Thank you for giving my pups your love and attention. I would definitely recommend Rachel and rebook if we’re back in the Fargo area!”


“Cairn took great care of our two dogs. She provided daily updates and pictures, they were in excellent care and in a great environment while we were out of town. We hope to use Cairn’s services again, and highly recommend!”


About: I went to school to be a vet tech. I can administer any medications you may need. I specialize in the care of elderly pets and their unique needs. Animals are better than people. My schedule is open for weekdays or weekends, night or day. Your babies can come stay with me or I can stay with them (sometimes home is just less scary) Whether at my home or yours if there’s a yard we’ll be playing for hours, if there isn’t we’ll be taking some fun walks at the park. I always check the air temperature to decipher concrete temps because nobody wants hot paws! I also always carry water so we can all stay happy and hydrated.

“She was awesome and my pow-pow loved her. I was a little late getting back in town due to traffic and she completely understood. Will be booking again 😊”


“Our dogs (two Belgian Shepherds) stayed with Melina for six days. They came back happy – a sign it was a good stay. We found Melina punctual and responsible. We will definitely use her again.”


About: I grew up helping raise dogs from puppies to snuggle buddies. I’m easy going, trustworthy and known for focusing on the animals in my care and having a good sense of humor. I have lived with happy to grumpy dogs and can support any animal, with the right heads up. Let me know how you’d like your animals to be loved, and I’ll make sure to send photo evidence that they are 😉 Taking care of animals is a personal passion of mine and I’m even going back to school for animal grooming soon. At the moment, I intend to make my living working with Pets. My only logistical limitation is transportation. I typically work best for overnight stays. If you live near me, I can also make my way over by bicycle. Ask me for specifics if you have questions. Each animal has their own needs and personality and I am here to make sure they get the love, attention and care that you would give them. If I am staying in your home, I will leave it as I found it. Just let me know your preferences, vet information and merges contacts so I’m prepared for all possibilities. Haven’t had use for any of those numbers yet (knock on wood!), but good to be prepared. A checklist is always very appreciated.

“For the last 8 years, Kim is the only place we have taken Bernie when we travel. Our little dog is a happy runner when the door opens which made our daughter nervous when we had to travel. Kim and Tim are the only people she trusts with Bernie. Kid tested and approved made for our travels to be stress free when it comes to needing care for our furry family member. Bernie loves the snuggles, the walks and the freedom to run and play in the back yard. He comes home happy every time.

Annie B.
“I travel a lot and Annie is hands down my #1 choice for a cat sitter. Life is busy and when my friends stop by quick for fresh water and food, I get it. With Annie, I know that they will get at least a few hours of quality time as well. Either playing, snuggling, or just being there with them. I feel like animals really gravitate towards her because she is adaptable and understanding if an animal needs you to be calm, playful, or give them some space. If you have Annie watching your pets, you can be at ease knowing they are getting the best care, because she genuinely cares.”
