“Kari was super easy to set everything up with! She was great with our dogs! One of our dogs rarely eats when we board her but she ate for Kari! They both came home happy and tired girls! Highly recommend!”


“I have an older dog that had never been boarded before. Angie said all went smoothly. I was concerned because my dog is old and is used to being just around me. Angie must have made her feel comfortable. Highly recommend her and I will definitely use her services again if needed.”


“We needed to travel over Christmas and couldn’t bring our dog with us. Amanda and her family took such great care Rue while we were away! She sent us the most adorable photos and made us feel so comfortable knowing she was in a loving home! We will for sure reach out to Amanda in the future!”


“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!”



“Colette and her family were so great with my dog who is very cautious and shy when meeting new people. They are clearly very experienced with and love animals. Colette sent me pictures and videos of my dog having fun so my own separation anxiety was eased. I would absolutely rebook with Colette, and would recommend her to anyone!”


“Taylor took great care of Sophie while in her care! She had asked plenty of questions before and while dropping her off to be sure they can do things the way that we prefer as Sophie’s owners. We’re pretty lenient so we probably didn’t help too much with how we’d answered, but it was nice that they were asking to help be sure that Sophie was comfortable during her stay.”


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!

“Bailey was so accommodating to our schedule and willing to take on our three cats (who can be a handful!). She updated us regularly while we were on our trip with updates and photos, we which looked forward to every day!”


About: I currently work full time as a Veterinary Technician. I have been caring for pets my whole life. And have pet sit many different types of pets over the years. I first started out in the kennels at my current job. I currently work full time, looking for pets to board over the weekend. We are usually home all weekends. And have ample time to play and potty breaks. I have a nice big back yard. Pets would be leashed when outside for potty breaks. And play time. I would offer crates for pets, if crating is needed.

About: I’ve raised 3 litters of puppies myself. I’ve had cats and dogs my whole entire life non stop. I’ve watched other dogs multiple time for a week at a time. I work locally and have a flexible schedule to be fitting for the customer. I’m always in town doing something so I’ll always be around the area. My dog gets plenty of attention and is very well behaved. When you see how she acts and and how loving she is you’ll understand that she is very spoiled and well treated.

About: I first got my dog in 2017. I've taken care of her since she was a puppy until now as she's growing gray hairs on her nose. This opened the door to countless house/petsitting opportunities! I've taken care of puppies, dogs (trained and untrained), senior dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, and even a gecko! I've taken care of special daily routines like feeding, medication, how to leave the house, and cared for severe separation anxiety. Every family wants their furry friend to be happy, safe, and healthy while they're away and I am confident I can provide that for your family and your pet! My schedule is fairly flexible as I am home most of the time! I can easily accommodate to the needs of you and your pets! :) I take my dog to the lake or for walks on a leash, and I was a family nanny who had 2 dogs in a fenced in yard. The older one loved to sunbath (the one with separation anxiety) and the younger one could chase the ball for hours! I make sure they stay busy and running around and after get lots of love and snuggles for a quick nap.

About: I co-own a friendly 10-year-old Golden Retriever. I have historically boarded (in my home) 2 Basenjis for a 2 year period. I'm a daily walker with trails near my home. I have experience in medication administration and behavior modification techniques. I have a flexible schedule and would like to coordinate services with you that meet your pet's needs. I'm a seasonal organic vegetable farmer. I truly enjoy pet caretaking, it brings me more happiness. I live in the country. There are trails on my property as well as across the road from my home. I have a large crate available if needed, toys to share, and multiple dog beds. I live less than 5 miles from a vet clinic.

About: I have 2 dogs of my own and have grown up around them since I was little. My two dogs are a huge part of our family. I take them on walks, talk to them like they are human and give them cuddles and love. I have 2 older boys who are dog lovers and are excited to help me in any way possible. My twin girls will be the cuddles. We are excited to welcome your fur baby to our home. I am a teacher, so I am currently at home for a lot of my day. My main job is running my 4 kids to activities at night. Our day consists of going on the trail behind our house for walks and hanging out at home, or taking trips to the pool or other fun outing. Having older boys who are home too means my house isn't lonely for pets in the summer. I will treat your pets and your house as if it were my own. I will follow instructions that are given to me. If I need clarification, I will ask. I know how hard it is to leave your pet, so I will treat them how I want dogs treated.

About: I bring comprehensive animal care experience enriched by formal education in veterinary technology, combining hands-on caregiving with a strong foundation in animal health and medical knowledge. Over several years, I have provided attentive and compassionate care to a diverse range of animals including dogs, cats, small mammals, and birds. My kid's dad and me are responsible animal lovers. Our family always has someone at home loving and caring for our dog and two cats. Our home has plenty of love to go around! I have a big backyard for our dog to play. He is fed in the morning and evening and let out as often as he wants. Our cats are indoor cats that are well taken care with a litter box cleaned twice a day.

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 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.

“Jake is a dog lover, 100%!!! He has an adorable springer who is very well behaved and is his favorite hunting buddy. Jake has dog sat for others in the past - some have even drove an hour a half to drop their dog off with Jake because they trust him and think he does a great job watching their pup. Bonus - your dog would have a friend to play with if dogsitting at his house is an option that works out for both parties!”

Their health and safety are always very important to Abby. They have been on many lovely walks and adventures together. I would highly recommend having Abby watch over your K9 family.”
