“Zachary was absolutely fantastic with our pets! They were so relaxed and happy while we were away, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was looking after them. He was such a pleasure to work with, and we’ll definitely be reaching out to him again. Blu and Jif send their thanks for taking such good care of them! 🐾”
“Melanie is a true animal lover, kind, and caring person. I felt very safe and secure going away for a few days and having her take care of my dogs and home. She was aware and asked questions that helped me know my dogs were in great hands. So glad to have found Melanie and look forward to having her watch my dogs again in the future!”
“Miranda was absolutely fantastic. She kept me updated and i knew my babies were fully taken care of. Thank you so much! We will definitely be using Miranda again!”
“Anna did a great job with our two puppies and under unusual circumstances because the maintenance people needed access to our townhome while she was there to fix an electrical issue so they were in an out. She was very communicative and it was great to have her. I’ve had her watch a dog of mine before and was impressed now as I was then. Thanks Anna!”

“Rebecca was great! Flexible and reliable our babies were well taken care of”
About: I have been pet/house sitting for the last several years for family, friends, and neighbors. I am a full time college student and would love a dog of my own and unable to do that at this time and would love walks and cuddles from your fur babies. I work less then 24 hours a week at Avera and have plenty a free time outside of work to walk and cuddle your fur babies. I am gone a few weekends in the summer but if I’m not gone I am willing to take my weekends/weekdays with your pets! I treat the pets like they are one of my own! I love to play fetch and go on walks! Outside of walk and fetch would love to just lay and cuddle your fur babies!
“Brady was PHENOMENAL with my pack of 4 doggos! He sent updates, and asked questions, which made me feel more than comfortable! 10/10 would recommend, and we’ll be using him again in the future!”
About: Hi! I am Kylee, I have been raised around horses, dogs and cats. I currently have a dog of my own, he is a English Labrador. I have 10+ years of pet sitting experience, a masters degree in psychology with an emphasis in applied behavior analysis - which is focused on human behavior, however, our furry friends are very similar in the analysis, function, and behavior training. Puppy training is a specialty of mine which includes basic commands, crate training, potty training and leash training. I strive to go above and beyond when caring for animals to not only meet their basic needs but also engagement. Your pet will always have a friend in me! I currently work full time, I am a salaried worker so my schedule is pretty flexible. Typically I work 7am to 3pm Monday through Friday. However on Tuesdays I work 5am to 1pm. I live on a 1/3 of an acre in town, with a fully fenced in backyard, and a friendly almost 2 year old Red English Lab.
About: Hi I’m Kenzie! I’d love to pet/doggy sit or walk your dogs! I love dogs all breeds and sizes! When I was little I had helped my dad with taking care of and fostering dogs and finding them good homes. I also used to doggy sit my cousins golden retriever and took her out on walks whenever I could. Also I occasionally take care of my friends dogs when they go out of town so I have some experience with this 😁 your pets will be in great hands and I’ll make sure to tend to all their needs and treat them kindly as if they were my own😁give me a call If you need a dog sitter/walker, I’d love to help you out with your doggies!
About: I love animals sometimes more than I love people, haha! I’ve got a golden retriever/Brittney spaniel mix & have loved playing with her every day after work. I find a lot of joy in being around dogs & when we go to the pet park, she loves to play with other animals & so do I. I am more than happy to board, walk, spend time, & love on your kiddo! I understand how hard it is to leave your little friend in the arms of a stranger, so I can send pictures & videos throughout their care time with me! I work week days so I cant be with them from 7:30-4 but spend the rest of the time when I get home spending good quality time with them! Weekends are always free all day for me I have a fenced in pet park at my apartment as well as places to take nice walks, & my apartment has a kennel & a comfy couch to sit or lay on!
“Jazlyn was a real professional and yet loved up our animals during our week long vacation. She is also an amazing house sitter. Our bishonshitzu came down w a UTI right before we left and she handled the meds for that and our dog w allergies beautifully. The peace of mind to have her house and animal sit was just amazingly impactful to how our trip went. It was also so wonderful coming home to her keeping our house so clean and her smile. While we were gone she kept us updated on the dogs and cats activities by text and photos. She even went so far as to play with them with a snuffle mat we had on her own. She was a delight and we definitely will use her again! 5+stars. Thank you Jazlyn!”

Mackenzie B.
“Mackenzie has watched my dog a couple of times when we had to go out of town. My dog (Woofy) gets depressed and doesn’t eat when we have to leave her home alone overnight so Mackenzie would go over and hangout with her for the night. Woofy loves her so much she would get very excited when she would come over and wouldn’t leave her side.”
