House Sitting in Grand Forks

“We appreciate the care and concern Ava gave our dog George. We could tell he had been in good hands when we got home! Also, she showed a fastidious commitment to the task: One day, knowing her car couldn’t make it thru all the deep snow from a big storm, she had someone with a large snow handling vehicle drive her to our house!”

“Lori did an amazing job watching our dog Charlie. We had never used a rover before and I was very nervous. Lori gave me constant updates and sent so many pictures that I was able to relax while away. She took such good care of him and gave him so much love!”

“Caroline took great care of my 3 pups and was very responsive. She made sure the 3 of them were well looked after and sent me pictures of them while we were away.”

About: I have cared for animals my whole life. Beginning when I was about 6, I was put in charge of feeding my family’s dogs morning and evening. In middle school and beginning of high school, I cared for over 75 chickens daily. In high school, I animal sat for all types of animal from dogs to horses and beyond. I used this animal sitting as my supervised agricultural experience for the Future Famers of America club and received a gold in the state competition. Being a college student away from my dogs makes me want to spend even more time with yours! I’m a student at UND and am able to give your pup the attention they need. I am free most evening and weekends. My schedule is highly flexible and is able to be changed quickly with developing doggy needs. I follow owners’ instructions exactly because I care for the dogs’ wellbeing and the owners know their best friends the best. I can take them on walks no matter the temperature, keep their water fresh and full, and keep their stomachs happy with the proper amount of food at the right times. I provide companionship when the owners are gone, knowing most dogs will miss their owners greatly.

“Blaize is amazing! She recently stayed at our house to take care of our two dogs over a weekend--dogs were well taken care of and her communication is top notch. She planned a meet up prior to us leaving to meet our dogs and sent frequent updates and photos throughout her stay. We highly recommend hiring her and will certainly reach out again when we need someone to help care for our dogs.”

“Had a great experience! Charlene sent lots of pics and the pups were very well cared for. Our cat loved being spoiled by her!!”

About: I have had multiple animals under my care from dogs and cats to raccoons and squirrels! I have been in animal care of different aspects for my entire adult life. I want to have flexibility, gain more experience, all while getting my degree in Animal Health and Behavior. I am currently working part time and doing school online! I am very flexible with care schedules but am most available in the evenings after 3:30pm. Depending on the day, I could do different times but it would need to be discussed since I don’t have the same schedule every week. My cat is very friendly with humans but he is very territorial over his home with other animals and I don’t feel comfortable having other pets in my home at this time. With your fur babies, I want to try and keep them in their routine in your home as much as possible to ease possible stress with separation from you. Whether that means play time, training/mentally stimulating activities, or just tv on the couch, Im here for it! I am also willing to take your dogs for walks around your neighborhood, at a park, etc. i would love to discuss what your dogs comfortable with and loves!

“Caroline stayed with my 3 cats, one of which is a handicapped cat. She also cared for 3 foster cats. She sent photos and let me know how they were doing while I was away. She was great at communication. Cats were well cared for and happy when I returned. I will definitely book Caroline again!”

“Mariah did an amazing job pet sitting for us while both my husband and I traveled on business. She was communicative and very kind to our pets. They instantly took a liking to her. I was very relieved to know they were in good care and not stuck in boarding facilities. She also left our home clean after the stay, even washing the sheets she slept on (which was not expected!) We truly appreciated her services and will utilize her in the future!”

About: I have worked at an animal shelter for a couple years. I went to school for Animal Science Major for a semester but then decided to groom dogs. I was a groomer for about 1 year. Now I work full-time at a vet clinic in Grand Forks, ND! I am currently also attending online school for my veterinary technician license! I’m currently working full-time on weekdays until 5pm. I am available later in the evenings on weekdays and also available on weekends anytime of the day! I have a ton of experience with different types of dogs and their behaviors. I am very loving but will be dominant if needed! Your pet will get so much love from me! I find joy in caring for animals and helping them live a full filling and loving life!

About: There was never a time a lived without dogs, I grew up taking care of my beloved furry friends and l've taken care of pets for family and friends since I was little. I have experience taking care of elder dogs such as my Maisy and Bell, helping them in walking and eating towards the end of their lives, and I have also taken care of younger dogs like my dog hoss. My love and care for animals has only grown as I have. I am currently a student at UND so I do have classes weekdays but I have plenty of time to take care of your pets most days and weekends. My schedule is flexible. I know that you know your pet best and I can follow any instructions on how to keep your furry friends happy. I can make sure they have fresh water and good exercise along with the perfect amount of food based on their schedules. I will care for your four-legged friends with care and respect.

“My cat is pretty easy going but I was nervous leaving her for vacation! Julia sent periodic updates which were appreciated and didn’t mind the cat yelling at her for food and treats. I would book with Julia again.”

“Madison took great care of our boys while we were out of town for 5 days. She had great communication and sent lots of pictures. Boys were well taken care of, and we came home to a clean house. We will definitely reach out to her again for future needs. Thank you so much!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by fur babies all my life. I can’t remember a time I didn’t have a dog in my life! My experience varies from taking care of my own babies to babysitting my family and friends dogs! I truly believe ALL dogs are good and deserve the absolute best care possible🩷 Pet care fits great into my schedule, especially during the summer! I am looking forward to keeping myself outside and having fun with all of your babies!🌞 Of course, I am always down for more relaxed days inside as well as we all need downtime😴 My own home is very pet friendly. I have a fenced yard with no wiggle room for adventurers, and high cabinets and shelves! At a clients home I am very adjustable and will do everything I can, to properly follow instruction on how they would like for me to care for their pets.

“Addison provided great care for my dog.”

“Allison was great! She took great care of our dog while we were traveling. She was a great communicator and sent me daily updates while also showing detail for any concerns my dog was facing. She is very trustworthy and I would absolutely book her again!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was very young. Neighbors, friends, and family regularly rely on me to check in, feed, walk, and play with their beloved pups. I treat every dog like family, ensuring they get plenty of exercise, affection, and attention while you are away. I am currently done with college so I have time to provide pet care that is reliable and safe. I am working from home so I will be attentive and available for pet care and daily routines. I have a safe and spacious home with backyard space and lots of parks nearby to walk and enjoy the outdoors with your pets! My home is welcoming and comfortable.

“Overall very good with animals. My dogs seemed to love her kiddo and her dog.”

About: I have been watching dogs and cats for people for the last many years and have loved everyone of them. I love when they ask me again to watch the same dogs. we get such a bond and I get very excited when I can go back to watch them again. I also have had many dogs and cats when I was younger. I am not working and have a pretty open schedule. I always have time to love them like they are mine. I am such a animal lover I have 4 cats and 1 dog that get along great with other animals. I will care for them and love them as they are mine.

“Alli was amazing!! Our dog was extremely happy and seemed like he was well cared for while we were gone. Alli is very professional and caring:)”
