“Kelli was a life saver and picked up our dog from another sitters house while we were in Florida. Our golden LOVES to be with her and her family, I never have to worry!!”
“Joan’s cabin retreat has become our dogs’ home away from home! They enjoy long walks with her on her property’s trails and beyond. We especially love the photo and video updates we receive every day updating us on their adventures! Highly recommend!!”
“Wow! I have never felt so comfortable with my companions staying with another family before. Peter went above and beyond taking care of our kittens. We got so many pictures and videos that made being away from them so much easier. Thank you Peter for giving a safe place for Dahlia and Churro to stay while we explored the beauty of Duluth”
“Our dog loved his stay with Patty (especially the big backyard)! She was very prompt and helpful in communicating, and did an excellent job caring for our slightly anxious boy. She also accommodated our last-minute booking and was flexible with drop off and pick up.”
“Anja had a wonderful time and it was great to receive pictures throughout her stay. Christina was very professional and easy to work with to coordinate drop off and pick up times. Would highly recommend as your next dog sitter.”
“Heath had a wonderful time with Samantha and her family! They welcomed him into their home over Christmas! Samantha is responsive and a great communicator. We received messages and photos of our Heath throughout his entire time with her. We will definitely book Heath to stay again!!”
“Rachel and her family were amazing 😍. Our large puppers love being on the farm, and soaked up all the love and attention! We already have recommended her to our family. Rachel will be our first call when we need boarding again!”

“I had the absolute pleasure of having Heather take care of my dog, Opal, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the very beginning, Heather went above and beyond to make sure Opal felt comfortable and loved. She sent me lots of pictures throughout the day, which gave me peace of mind and showed how well Opal was being cared for. Not only did she take Opal on multiple walks, but she also gave her a bath, leaving her looking and feeling fresh. The love and attention Opal received were beyond what I could have hoped for, and I will definitely be using Heather again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Christina was wonderful with our cat, Molly! We were so grateful she was available at the last minute. She stayed in contact the whole week we were gone and sent the cutest pictures of Molly! We highly recommend Christina and will absolutely call her again!”
“Carley and Ferris took great care of my dog Fawn over a holiday weekend. They have a great setup and treated her like one of their own. Carley was very responsive and kept me up to date. I would definitely recommend them!”
About: Caring for dogs and cats has been a lifelong passion of mine. In recent years, I’ve fostered dogs for a local rescue and welcomed two rescue pups and a kitten into my home. They are cherished members of my family, and I truly understand the dedication it takes to provide excellent care for animals. As a nurturing, patient, and trustworthy stay-at-home mom, I have the time and love to give. I can’t wait to meet your beloved pet! *please note, there will be a $1 charge for each mile past a 15 mile radius (negotiable) I am currently a stay at home mom and have a flexible schedule. I’m available to drop in for feedings, potty breaks, and walks during the week and weekend. For boarding in your home, I’m available on weekends. As for boarding in my open, I have no restrictions. Keeping your pet safe is my biggest concern! I will be sure to follow whatever protocol you as a pet owner has in place for doing so.
About: Hi, I’m Corey! With years of experience in pet care, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays, I provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to your pet’s needs. From playful pups to senior pets needing extra TLC, I’m here to ensure they feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. Let’s chat about how I can help make your pet’s day even better! "With a unique 5-on, 10-off schedule, I have plenty of time to give your pets the care and attention they deserve! When I’m off work, I’m all in—ready for walks, playtime, and snuggles. Reliable, experienced, and passiona"Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! "Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! With a reliable and caring approach, I provide a secure, stress-free environment where pets feel right at home. Whether it’s playtime, belly rubs, or a cozy place to relax, I make sure every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. You can count on me to treat your furry friend like family!"
About: There’s no cats, kids or other dogs in the home, meaning your pup (s) can have a relaxing and snuggle filled time all by themselves! I raised my Great Dane from 8 weeks-10 years old and she recently passed away. She was a reactive dog that didn’t like people, cats, kids or other dogs. I’m well versed and comfortable with shy, reactive or nervous dogs and puppies. I’m a social worker during the day, CNA a few hours a week and rarely have plans outside of that especially in fall/winter. I’m a home body whenever humanly possible. I am flexible with notice! Definitely ask if I can make a schedule work if it’s similar to my availability. I have a ground level apartment, a large couch for snuggling, a good size backyard with a tie out that is fenced on 2 sides with the opening facing an alleyway and only a walkway on the otherside.
“Lisa is AMAZING!! She was able to take our very active puppy VERY last minute. She welcomed him into her home and he loved it! She sent picture updates and was amazingly flexible. I undoubtedly would have my pup stay with her again!”

Leah B.
“Leah's love for animals is second to none. The first time we met, her adopted dog Cooper 'broke the ice" and now, 8 years later, we share two wonderful kids, another adopted rescue dog (lab mix), and recently welcomed a new Dachshund to the family. Throughout our time together, Leah has fostered multiple dogs that need a temporary home and watched numerous animals while family and friends have gone on vacation. She is wonderful with all types of animals, especially dogs. She has experience with dogs of all breeds - from dogs as large as a Great Dane to dogs as small as our Dachshund, Charlie. If you need someone to care for your pet that will treat your dog like family, Leah is your girl!”
Corey H.
“I've asked Corey to look after my cat several times while I'm out of town, and he's become my first call every time. He arrives on time for her feeding schedule, and always takes time to give her head scratches. I feel very comfortable having him at my house and taking care of things. Highly recommend!”
