1. Susan F.

“Sue has been walking my puppy every day for about three months now. She is incredibly reliable, always on time, and takes such good care of my baby. It’s so nice to not have to worry about my dog while at work. There’s been a few times where my husband works from home or I’m home with the kids for a snow day and Sue has been really accommodating when I have to change the schedule, and the one time she wasn’t able to make it she gave me weeks notice to be able to find an alternative. I can’t recommend her enough. She’s been wonderful.”


2. Kim D.

“I can’t recommend Kim enough. Kim comes by our house everyday and lets our dog rocky out to play/use the bathroom. They had an instant bond. We can’t thank Kim enough!”


3. Lisa C.


“We were initially a little nervous to use a pet sitter on Rover because we’d never had anyone we didn’t know take care of our cats. But Lisa had great reviews, so we gave it a shot. I’m so glad we chose her! She came to meet us before we went on vacation and that made us feel more comfortable. She took great care of our kitties - played with them, brushed them, and made sure their food, water, and litter boxes were all set every day. She also did extra things like bring in our mail and clean the floors around the litter boxes. We truly appreciated the notes, pics and videos she sent every day as well. It made me feel less homesick! We would have Lisa pet sit for us again in a heartbeat!”


4. Michelle & Ken G.

“This team worked with me on the dynamics of my pack, and did a great job trying to develop a comfortable relationship with each dog. Will continue to use them in the future!”




5. Ashley D.

“Ashley was great with our two cats! Very responsive, sent great photos and took great care of them. She even won over our very shy cat!”


6. Maile M.

“The absolute best pet sitters in the Lakes Region! Our two dogs were well cared for on our well long vacation!”




7. Linda G.
About: I’m an all animal lover, I have several pets including two young dogs that I adopted. We love to go for walks, play at the park or hang around the house and play with toys. We would love to spend time with other dogs or any pet you may have. I am available evenings and or nights and some afternoons. I work the evening shift as a nurse and know how hard it can be to find some one you can trust with your babies, especially on the off times. I can provide safe play and walks with or without my dogs, experienced with ferals, ages from young to old and of course lots of love and healthy snacks.also experienced with caged animals and bearded dragons!


8. Heidi P.

“Heidi is so wonderful and caring with my pups. They instantly took to her. She is reliable and great at communicating. Highly recommend Heidi and her services.”


9. Calleigh B.
“Calleigh is amazing with our high anxiety dog Thor. He was abused for 5 years and is not trusting, is afraid of men, will rarely drink water unless we bring it to him, and is afraid to go outside without me. In fact, when I'm gone all day, or even an overnight for work, he will not go out for my husband. He'll hold it for 2 days til I get back. With all his special needs, he thrives when he's with her. She can get him to go outside, to drink, and when we're away for an overnight he'll even sleep with her - which is a special treat for him :-). She even bathes him when he needs it. I don't know what I would do when I'm working without her!”


10. Madison B.
“Madison has always been surrounded by animals, making her well-versed in many different animal concerns. Owning two dogs, she is used to the responsibility of walking and caring for not only one dog but two dogs at one time. In addition to this, she has become the new owner of a Bernese Mountain Dog. Getting him as a puppy, she is well-experienced with training, exercise needs, and feeding habits of dogs of any age. Being a pet owner myself, she has also helped me with my pets! I own two dogs; one Zuchon and one Norwegian Buhund. She has taken care of them in the form of walking, feeding, playing, and watching them. Overall, Madi is well-prepared and enthusiastic about any animal need.”


11. Tabbi W.

“Tabbi was awesome with the pet kids! She had a challenge and she conquered it! The dogs were so happy when she stopped in 3 times each day to walk water and feed them. She sent us pictures and a report card for every visit. We will definitely give Tabbi a call the next time we need a sitter for Sadie and Ranger!”


12. Anthony K.

“We loved having Tony come over and hang out with our dogs while we were away. Absolutely would book him again in the future!”


13. Laura C.
“Laura is an absolute pet lover. She is very responsible, caring and loving of every person and pet. She works at home and is able to take the dogs out anytime they need to go. She gives them lots of cuddles and attention. They are truly family members in her home.”


14. Jessica S.
About: I have been living with animals ever since I was a child! At a young age I was taught the love, respect and care for an animal. The highlights of my day are coming home to my animals! I will handle your animals with the same love and care as a person. I've lived with cats for 26 years and dogs for 10 years. I've turned to dog sitting as I cannot have a dog at my current apartment. It will be beneficial to us both as I will be able to play/walk with your animals and you'll be able to rest assured they are in good hands! Please reach out to me with any questions you may have! I am available Monday-Friday and Sunday night!


15. Kayla L.

“Kayla was awesome!! She really helped us on short notice and went out of her way to meet us the day before as we requested. Highly recommend and would request her help again!”




16. Shauna C.

“Shauna was great! The whole neighborhood knew her when I came back from 5 day trip. Teddy was happy and healthy when I returned. She sent pictures and was quick to respond. She was very flexible and put my mind at ease. I think Teddy was spoiled while I was gone!!”


17. Taylor Elizabeth C.

“Taylor did such an amazing job taking care of our cat, Wilson! She was super communicative and kept us in the loop every step of the way. It kept our minds at ease while we were away. Thank you Taylor!”


18. Daniel G.

“Excellent sitter! Our cats are notoriously finicky and even they warmed up to him! He was super accommodating with meet and greets and things like that, and offered up some suggestions to help us with one of our animals who needs pills. Our dog was totally in love with him! Fantastic guy, wish I could give 6 stars”


19. Phoebe G.

“Phoebe was AMAZING! I asked her to bring her pup Kole during her pop in visit to give my dogs a chance to really stretch the legs while we were away for the day. She sent the best pictures and was so sweet to my babies. Her communication was amazing and I most certainly will be using her again”


20. Laura H.
“Laura was amazing with my dog Sammy while I was away. I have known her for about 3 years now and in the beginning I would leave a note out for everything that needed to be done and she caught on very quickly. Hell, she would even clean up around the house even when I didn’t expect that of her. She was always active with Sammy and he would love it when she came over. I would check in and she would send me the best photos of him at the park! I moved away recently so both of us are very sad she can’t watch Sammy for me, but he sure did love his time with her.”
