“Amanda was absolutely awesome!!! She was so great with our fur babies. I can't say enough how thankful I am for her and how wonderful she is. So professional and communicated every time she stopped in. SO AMAZING!! THANK YOU AGAIN Amanda!!!”


“She was great to care for Elvis when we had to take our old pup Rex (17 years old) to the vet and have him put down. She is wonderful and very caring. Very thankful to have her.”


“I am beyond satisfied with Amber! She is phenomenal with my cat! She goes above and beyond in making sure he is well taken care of especially with any ridiculous requests I have for my aging cat! Thank you always Amber in being so flexible with us as well as truly caring for animals! The pictures and videos are a great addition to the drop ins too. 😊”


About: I can be trusted to walk, feed/water, clean up after, trim nails, administrator medication for animals of all kinds. I have owned reptiles, cats, and dogs for many years. And worked on a farm. I have a full time job with flexible hours to suit your needs. As long as we speak ahead of time about a schedule. Available most weekends and holidays I am unable to care for cats or dogs in my home due to already having those pets myself. But upon discussion, you would be able to come to my home to see how I care for them.

“She showed up every day and spent a goodly amount of time and effort trying to befriend a very standoffish cat. We will ask for her again should the need arise.”


About: My background in training dogs through agility classes, working with shy and special-needs animals, fostering cats, and managing dogs of all sizes at a daycare makes me uniquely qualified. I’ve also cared for farm animals, including geese, and I’m skilled in pet grooming. My patience, reliability, and ability to adapt to each pet’s unique personality ensure your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for. I have a steady work-life balance, working Monday-Friday from 6 AM to 3 PM. Pet care fits easily into my routine, as I am available for early morning, evening, and weekend visits. On Mondays, I travel to Duluth for agility training, so I can take pet-sitting jobs in that area. I’m also willing to drive within a 100-mile radius of my home to provide care, ensuring flexibility for pet owners who need reliable and loving service. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s. I take the time to understand each pet’s needs, personality, and routine to create a stress-free and comfortable environment. I’m experienced with shy animals and work patiently to help them feel safe. In a client’s home, I respect their space while ensuring their pets receive attentive care, from feeding and playtime to maintaining a clean environment, including litter box upkeep. Whether it’s keeping a routine, providing enrichment, or offering extra care for special needs pets, I always prioritize their well-being.

About: Not only have I took care of dogs, but also cats and rodents! I am fine with cleaning up messes and I love to just sit down and play with pets whenever I take care of any!

I have two friendly dogs that like to sniff. They are both friendly with cats. I also have a cat, so cat friendly pets are preferred to take care of.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs as long as a I can remember. Every dog has their own personality which I love. I’ve watched family, friends, and more others peoples dogs. I wouldn’t change it for the world. I’m currently working part time. So I have plenty of time to play with your amazing furry ones. I’m also available weekends also. I’m very flexible. I would love to meet your furry one before I start. I would give treats to them if that would be okay. I would go as close to your walk route as possible.

About: I was raised with animals and love any and all of them. I am also CPR certified (for humans lol) as well as loving to all animals. I am available during the week and weekends and would be more than happy to take care of the pets at any time of the day! I have a fenced in yard that is big enough to explore and I also have 2 medium sized dogs and a large dog that are very friendly.
