Emma was so great! She was prompt to respond, flexible, and kept us in the loop with really sweet updates & photos throughout. Our cat Billie seemed to warm up to her super quick & was clearly well cared for while we were away. Will absolutely book with Emma again!!

We couldn’t recommend Autumn more! She sent us multiple pictures & detailed updates. She went out of her way to watch our pets and took the extra mile to make sure they were well taken care of while we were out of town.

Amy was absolutely fantastic! Her attention to both of our cats a 6 year old and kitten helped put our minds at ease. She provided wonderful updates both with pictures and written information, went above and beyond by coming 2x a day and stayed beyond the time asked. Her services are greatly appreciated and we will be using her again!

About: I have a Lab/Golden Retriever mix, an Australian Shepherd, and two Ragdoll cats, so caring for animals is a big part of my everyday life. I have experience with both high-energy dogs and calm indoor cats, and I understand that every pet has different needs, personalities, and routines. I regularly go on runs and walks with my dogs and am comfortable handling energetic dogs that need extra exercise, structure, and attention. I also have experience with leash reactivity, which has taught me the importance of patience, awareness, and reading dog body language during walks and outings. I put a lot of attention, patience, and care into every animal I watch. Whether your pet loves playtime, long walks, cuddles, or just having a calm and steady presence nearby, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I treat every pet like they’re my own and provide dependable care, communication, and photo updates so owners can feel at ease while they’re away. I also appreciate knowing important information about your pet ahead of time, including routines, triggers, medical needs, and favorite activities, so I can provide the best care possible. I am not available for drop-in visits or walks on Wednesdays from 3 pm. to 11 pm. This summer, I have a very open and flexible schedule since I’m home from college and not currently working another job. That allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care during the weekdays. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day, and I enjoy building pet care into my routine because spending time with animals is something I genuinely love. When caring for pets during drop-in visits or walks, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining their usual routine. I can provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of attention and companionship during each visit. I always take time to understand each pet’s personality and needs, whether they are energetic and playful or more shy and relaxed. I also make sure owners stay updated with communication and photos so they can feel confident their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.

My cat was so calm when I came back from my trip. That tells me in her two 1-hour visits Alex gave him the TLC and attention he needed while I was away. She sent pictures and updates to me while she visited which was very nice. Highly recommend!

About: I haven had dogs in my house and taken care of them since I was 7 years old. I've participated in training classes with my black lab as a puppy, as well as daily dog chores like walking, feeding, and brushing. I also have experience taking care of injured and elderly dogs. Along with caring for my own pets, I've also pet sat for neighbors and friends before. These visits included walks, play time, feeding, brushing, etc. This summer I have a part time nanny job, so I will have plenty of extra time to take care of your fur babies! I will be available weekdays after 4pm and all day on the weekends. I understand that dogs can be hesitant when stranger enter their home, but try to greet new pets slowly and friendly and give them all the sniffs they need.

About: I have cared for animals since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have asked me to petsit, walk, bath and help care for their animals. I can care for puppies/kittens to seniors and everyone in-between. I rely on positive reinforcement for training. I can administer medications, trim nails and other care required. I have worked as a Vet Tech and currently I am in school to become a certified Vet Tech. I am currently in school with mostly online classes so I can seamlessly accommodate your pets care. I will send daily updates and/or photos if requested. I care for your pets from the comfort of your home giving you piece of mind while traveling while your pet will be less stressed.

Kathryn was very quick to respond to messages. The dogs did well with her and our cat who doesn’t come out for anyone made an appearance letting her pet him. Will definitely ask for her to stop again in the future.

About: I’ve grown up taking care of animals, including dogs, cats, and fish. I have experience house sitting, cat sitting, and dog sitting on trusted house sitters. I have experience dog walking. I have all my reviews from other platforms in my photos. My schedule is very flexible for boarding services and check-ins. With upfront and clear communication, I can make almost any request work. UPDATE: I recently moved to Minneapolis and now work 5:30am-12:00pm Tues-Saturday. I can do potty breaks in the morning and a walk once I get home at 12. I can also walk very early in the morning too if the dog is accustomed to that time & willing. And of course, anything after 12 I can do & am available for. I have experience working on trusted house sitters. When doing a house sit or a check-in at the clients home, I simply follow the instructions provided and feed/walk/check in on the animals as discussed. I make sure the animals feel very loved, attended to, and cared for!
