“Luliia took care of our two big guys for 10 days, giving them all the love and attention they needed while we were gone. We could rest easy knowing that our dogs were in good hands and someone was watching over our home. When we came home, our house was in better shape than when we left it. Highly recommend — will definitely be using Luliia again!”

About: No matter how big or small I prioritize the happiness and care for your fur-babies as if they were my own. I have previously owned/cared for bunnies, dogs, cats, turtles, lizards and last but not least guinea pigs. Currently I own a big 148lb love-bug of a Great Pyrenees, an Abyssinian guinea pig and three Red Slider turtles! I have assisted my sister for many years taking care of cats and dogs. I also I have previous experience being a dog bather. I currently do not work and am getting ready to study software engineering, giving me much time to give my full attention to your fur-babies. For boarding and daycare, I live in a house with my mom and brother, five minutes away from the Mall of America. I have a fenced in backyard yard with nice bright lights to light the yard at night. There is plenty of space in the kitchen and living room, with dog beds and lots of toys throughout the house. I do my best to keep your fur-babies on the same schedule they have when they're at home. Don't worry about if you have a velcro or anxious baby because it is rare that the pets are home alone! As for house sitting and drop-ins, I fit your pet's needs into my own schedule. At most I will leave for 1-3hrs to check on my pets at home. When I leave, I make your home is left as if I was never there. No matter the service I send many pictures so you can stay updated on your pet's well-being! If you have questions, feel free to reach out! I look forward to working with you to give your pets all the care they need while you're busy or away.

“Erin stayed with our golden retriever, Harvey, for two weekends in the past month. We’ve never used rover before and we were a little nervous, but Erin was so great with him and sent us lots of updates. She also was very thoughtful of our space! (I.e washing the sheets and towels, making the bed, running the dishwasher, leaving the space clean). Would definitely recommend!”

This was the longest I've left my cat with a sitter and I was a little nervous but Jillian was so reliable and responsive! She scooped our sidewalks and made it out to our house to check on our cat even in the extreme cold. Sent me lots of pics and was very patient with our cat who can sometimes be a bit territorial! I definitely recommend her and would book again.

This is the second time Cassidy has stayed in my house to take care of my senior cat. Gertie has never been the easiest cat to care for so I was a little concerned about my 3.5 week absence. I shouldn't have been since, as during Cassidy's first stay at my house, Gertie and Cassidy got along extremely well. Not only that, my house looked great when I got back. When I travel again, I'll certainly contact Cassidy as a housesitter/catsitter I can completely trust. What a relief not to have to worry when I'm travelling......

Brooke did an amazing job with our anxious dog, Pepper. Pepper can be wary of new caretakers, but Brooke was able to read her body language fluently and gave Pepper the space she needed to warm up. By partway through the day, Pepper was curled up right next to Brooke on the couch - snoozing away!

Pardis is amazing! I was gone for a good chunk of time during winter break and she kept me informed, sent pictures, updates and was so loving and caring about my girl Stella. Pradis is so nice, accesible and will let you know if there are any concerns that come up. Stella was sick for a few days and she went above and beyond to make sure she was okay. She was even accessible when my flight was delayed and she checked in with Stella to make sure she was okay while I was figuring out my flight. I would recommend her with anyone and would 100% leave Stella with her again. She is lovely to work with!!

Erin was a great sitter. Very friendly with the animals, pleasant to deal with, asked great questions. I didn’t expect her to, but she unloaded the dishwasher and washed the sheets and towels and even worked with a neighbor to see if they could jump my car’s dead battery while I was away. My pets both seemed content when I got home so, it was a positive experience all around.

Eleanor is wonderful, she took care of my two very sensitive, small dogs for 9 days and did a fantastic job. She is responsible, trustworthy and has a lot of experience. She regularly sent pictures and videos and made me feel at ease leaving my babies at home while I was gone. Not only did she take good care of my two dogs, but also of the entire house.

Courtney was soooo great! Our fur babies were happy and peaceful upon our arrival home from a lengthy trip. That speaks volumes to how well they were cared for and how well they transitioned into Courtney’s care. She sent regular updates and photos which helped our anxiety being away from them! We will definitely use Courtney again if the need arises.
