“Sabrina was terrific watching our pooch over the holiday break! She was punctual and consistent sending updates and pictures and it gave us piece of mind that our dog was being cared for while we were away. We returned to a happy pooch and a handwritten note which was a nice personal touch. Will book again!”
“Kimberly always knocks it out of the park when taking care of my kitties. She takes the time to play and hang out with Smokey and Sherman and they absolutely love her visiting. Smokey is naturally shy and it still amazes me that he comes around for her! She's got a great, caring spirit and is always my go-to caregiver whenever I head out of town. Absolutely wonderful!”
“Nathan and Laura were great! Awesome communication and pictures! We felt totally comfortable leaving our babies in their care. We will definitely be booking with them again!”
About: I grew up with many pets (dogs, cats, chickens, horses, so on) and love animals dearly! I come from a family who loves animals and treats them like family too. Pets can be such a comfort to us and I enjoy getting the chance to care for them (and snuggle and play with them too!). I’m currently working a full time job Monday-Friday from 8am-4:00pm. Besides that, I’m pretty flexible! Evenings and weekends are when I’m most free but I’m willing to check in on pets before work and directly after work. When I pet sit I like to give updates each time I check on them and send pictures so that you know exactly how your critter is doing (and so you get to see their cute face!). Their wellbeing is important to me and I want you to feel reassured that they are getting the best care, so detailed instructions on how to take care of them is much appreciated. Our pets and our homes are two things that can be very dear to us. I want to provide your pet with the best care and your home with the best respect.
“Christina was very communicative and flexible with the needs for our pups. We loved that we were able to meet up prior to booking and it was clear our dogs had a great time while we were away. I’m sure our husky enjoyed all the fenced-in play time with new friends. We would highly recommend Christina and hope to utilize her services again in the future!”
About: I have had animals a majority of my life, and have always had multiple animals in my current home, between mine, roommates and friends. I occasionally give a relatives diabetic cat her insulin shots, and my dog is on pain pills, so can administer those types of things if needed. I work full time, mostly in Superior, so moat days can stop home on a lunch break to let the animals out and check on things. However, I do work out on the ountry on Mondays and Thursdays, so don't have an option to stop home during the day on those days. But otherwise, having animals of my own I already plan around being able to feed them and of course give all the loves and potty breaks. I have a cat and a dog, so the house is already set up for animals! I do only have 1 chain set up outside but can easily set up more if needed, as well as space for crates if you use them, and pet gates to give or limit access to certain parts of the house.
“Thank you soooooo much, Liz, for sitting with Patches. Not once did I have to worry about Patches!! Thank you for being able to add more time to your schedule without hesitation. YOU ARE THE BEST!!!”
About: I've taken care of my dog Boe since we got him as a puppy and he is always so much fun to hang out with him! I work remotely for most of the week and would be able to take several breaks throughout the day to play with your pet and/or take them on walks We have a good size backyard with a zipline that can be attached to a dog's collar. We also have a vehicle that is big enough to transport your pet for any longer hikes or walks
About: Hi everyone! My names Lauren, and I am here to provide any support I can to your fur babies! I grew up around dogs and cats and now have 2 rescue cats and 1 rescue dog of my own! I previously volunteered at an animal shelter where I not only became proficient and comfortable with day to day caretaking needs but also have experience with injections/giving insulin to our fur friends as well as ear drops and oral pills/medicatjon! In my free time you can usually find me spending time with my husband and our fur babies. Getting go meet new animals and spend time with animals is something that I greatly enjoy and find fulfilling. Not only will I leave happier after I hang out with your pets, but I hope to also leave them happy! I feel comfortable with dogs of all sizes and also with cats! I consider myself a very responsible and trustworthy person and would treat your pets and their “equipment” (leashes, food, your space etc) as though they were my own. I hope this works out and thank you for considering me! I currently work full time Monday-Thursday. I am willing to make time before or after work on these days. Friday-Sundays I am usually home! My husband does work from home so if your pets are staying at my house we can discuss if you are comfortable with him interacting with them or if you prefer just I do. I live in the country where there is not a steady flow of cars. I do have a tie down in my yard, but am always out there if a doggo is using it. I am very comfortable walking dogs on a leash and also making sure that they are being safe when traffic is approaching (standing off the road, sitting if possible). I have one dog in my home who loves other animals, but I can absolutely keep them separated as well. I am comfortable kenneling dogs and cats as you prefer.
“I am so pleased with the care Julia provided for my dog! She's very accommodating, knowledgable, friendly and I returned home to a full water dish :), and overall happy boy! Amazing services. Thank you so much,Julia. We'll be calling you for your services in the future for sure. I highly recommend.”
About: Spending time and interacting with animals has always been a passion of mine. Over the years I helped my grandma run her dog sitting service, taking the dogs for walks and cleaning up the kennels. I also enjoy being outside and taking my own dog for long walks and fun trips to the dog park. My dog is a family member and I intend on treating yours the same way. Your dog will have a great time exploring the city and playing with others at the dog park. I hope to someday have my own place where I can board dogs just like grandma did. I spend 90% of my time with dogs and we enjoy playing with other pups at the dog parks, we are traveling nomads and look forward to meeting you My dogs live in my van with me Both are crate trained. I feed my dogs twice a day. They enjoy laying around the house being lazy. Going to the dog park to play with others is always fun too!!! We also enjoy walking
About: I am fun love to play with dogs and enjoy spending one on one time with them as well as playing with them to much Full time dog sitter that loves animals and being able to spend time with them.

Rachel V.
“Rachel is great! She has looked after my cat Gus twice while I was out of town for overnight trips. In addition to feeding him, she took time to play with him and keep him company which I really appreciated. It’s hard not to worry when you leave your pet, but I didn’t really didn’t need to with Rachel. She was dependable, timely, and sent check-in texts with photos so I could rest easier. I feel at ease knowing Gus is in good hands when Rachel watches him and I know he appreciates the company too.”

“Lauren is a very responsible and loving dog (or cat!) caregiver! She has spent many hours with my dog Fred and I’m not sure if Lauren or Fred left happier!
