About: I have been around animals my whole life. Dogs, cats, and horses. Taking care of animals has taught me many things, including to be responsible, dependable, and honest. I am originally from Brandon, SD. I’m currently employed full time as a Registered Nurse. In my current role, I work four days per week. I am available to provide pet care in the morning, evenings, night time, and most weekends. If you have any questions about my availability, reach out & I will let you know! At my client’s home, I do as I am instructed to with the pet. Whether that’s letting them out on a leash or free range in a fenced yard, etc. I want to follow their routine and I like to provide amazing care in the comfort of their home.

“Maria did an amazing job the last few days doing drop ins at my house. She has great communication and met up with me prior to her first visit to meet my dog and go over instructions! Thank you for taking such good care of Mac!”


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!

About: I worked at a boarding facility and daycare, spending my day taking care of dogs and cats of all ages! I took out groups of dogs (between 8-15) and monitored their play, stepping in when needed! I am a student at Augustana University and so my schedule is very flexible, especially during the summer months! I have two more classes to finish my degree so once the school year starts I will still be available most hours of the day! I treat each pet as if they are my own. I am very focused and observant when taking care of others pets as I know how much they mean to us!

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: I am a pet person who has always loved animals, especially dogs and have always had a very close connection with any dog I meet! I will also provide my own leashes, doggy bags, and treats! I am currently in cosmetology school and have Mondays and weekends off. I’d also be available Tuesday-Friday evenings after 4pm. I am also available on most weekends. I have two dogs at home and am comfortable with walking them, feeding them, playing with them, and making sure they have what they need. I can administer medications as well.

About: My significant other and I live in a house with 3 dogs. We take our dogs (who are more like our kids)on a walk in our neighborhood or fenced in backyard and let them run around at least twice a day! Our dogs are spoiled and loved as they should be! We play ball and snuggle and they sleep with us too:) We'd love to love your pet while you're away! I work part time at WagZone dog day care so I have a lot of free time for my own pups. I love walks, hikes on our land outside of time or just fetch time in the yard. Fenced in yard allows dogs to run freely all day with a dog door to a sheltered garage. My dogs get along with all other souls.

About: I love animals and have taken care of my own for quite a few years. I have experience with training. I trained a German Shepard from young to old. I can teach tricks and give unconditional love. I currently work part time while in school so my schedule is kinda inconsistent however a majority of my afternoons are free. I graduate this year which will create more availability. I make sure they get fed if need be as well as watered. I play with them and may even be able to have play date with my dog. I take them out to use the bathroom and clean up after them if need be.

About: I’ve had pets of all kinds since I was little, and even took care of livestock for many years. Animals are such an important part in my life so I’d love to be able to bring people peace of mind when their animals need to be cared for! I am flexible and know how tough it can be to need help and not have any; I’d love to be able to set a weekly routine so you, your pets, and I all know what to expect! I am so excited to spend time with creatures of all sizes and am more than comfortable taking them out on walks, playing with toys, and giving all the snuggles they may desire in a day.

About: I grew up in a family of animal lovers. We had many different types of pets throughout my childhood. Additionally, neighbors and friends have trusted me to pet sit and check in on their animals frequently, which I loved doing and took very seriously. I currently have a 7 year old bloodhound. She is both super rambunctious and incredibly lazy, which keeps me on my toes, but has taught me so much about dog ownership. I love animals and would be honored to be entrusted with caring for your pet. I currently have work from home, but have a very flexible schedule. My life is very low key, so nights and weekends are frequently free. Keeping your pet as comfortable and on their routine as possible is my upmost concern. In addition to feeding them and making sure they have bathroom breaks, I am happy to take them on walks and play with them. If they like cuddles and belly rubs, I will do that too. Like I said, keeping your pet happy and giving you peace of mind is my biggest concern.
