“Thanks so much for the stellar care you gave my pup 🐶”


“Abbie was wonderful with my kitten Ivy! She sent pictures, videos, and went above and beyond caring for my girl. I felt relaxed and comfortable leaving my cat in good hands while I was away. Would recommend and book again in the future!”


“Xinia is an excellent dog sitter! She meets my anxious dog at her level and goes above and beyond to ensure her comfort and trust. Xinia is very reliable and I just know my dog enjoys seeing her! I will definitely book her again 😊”


“Elizabeth was wonderful with Macho! You could tell from the pictures and videos that he was so happy to see her and receive some love and attention. He had just started his diabetes medication, and we felt very comfortable knowing she was there to help administer it while we were away. Thank you for spending time with our boy, Macho!”


About: My husband Marshall and I love to take care of pups together! Marshall grew up with dogs at home, and I cared for dogs all through college and used to volunteer at the Humane Society. As soon as we moved to the Twin Cities, we got our first dog, Mudflap. I am a teacher and have summers and evenings off, and Marshall is a music therapist with his mornings free, giving both of us plenty of time to look after dogs at home and take them for lots of walks and runs. We also have experience caring for senior dogs and dogs with special medical needs. We love all breeds and sizes, and we have a soft spot for rescue dogs (our pup Mudflap is a rescue from Mississippi). We are very patient and attentive, and have experience with light grooming (baths, teeth-brushing) as well as administering medications. Whether your dog wants to run, play, or cuddle, We’ll be there to take care of them! I work as a teacher and Marshall works part-time as a music therapist. Marshall is home in the mornings until about 1pm, and I get home from school around 3:30pm. We are both off on weekends, and during the summers we are both home full-time. We have a large, fenced-in yard and a friendly, small dog to keep your pup company. Our dog does not use a crate but we can easily crate your dog if needed. We love having dogs on the furniture and letting them sleep on our bed, and we live in a safe, quiet neighborhood with lots of sidewalks and safe streets for walks.

“Thanks Sami”


“Rachel is amazing! She dropped by to see my cat and gave me great video and photo updates and was great with communication. Thank you again!”


“Mikayla goes over and beyond. She let us know we left our garage door open immediately upon arrival. She not only looks out for the animal/s entrusted to her but also your property. Very easy to work with and thorough. Thank you!!!”


“We had Linda do drop-in visits for our two kitties while we were away. She was attentive, very familiar with cats and certainly put our minds at ease while we were gone! Everything went smoothly and she was great at communicating each visit. We would absolutely book with Linda again!”


About: I’ve had the joy of raising and caring for two dogs—first a Doberman, and later a toy poodle—giving me firsthand experience with both large and small breeds. I also have experience working with children, and I believe the patience and attentiveness required for both roles strongly complement each other. In addition, I live an active lifestyle, so dog walking is not only something I enjoy—it’s a perfect fit. Whether your dog needs a high-energy walk or a more gentle stroll, I’m happy to match their pace and personality. I’m reliable, observant, and committed to keeping your pet safe, happy, and well-cared for. I work full-time at Amazon, where I’m constantly on the move walking and running to deliver packages—so staying active is part of my daily routine. I work weekends and start in the afternoons, which means my mornings and days off (Tuesdays and Wednesdays) are ideal for weekday walks or drop-ins, especially for busy pet parents needing reliable care during the day. I currently live in an apartment, so at the moment I’m offering dog walking only. However, I’m excited to expand my services in the future as my space and schedule allow. My goal is to build trusted relationships with both pets and their owners while providing reliable, active care.

“Rachel did a fantastic job watching our cats while we were away. She went above and beyond their needs and was very prompt with communication! We will definitely book with her again.”

Jennifer P.
“We've used Jennifer for years watching our pup during vacations. She along with her kids treat our dog like family. When we arrive home from our vacation, our dog is no longer as excited as she used to be seeing us. Our dog misses her kids, her daily walks, and her new found friend the cat. This new found relationship has created us utilizing Jennifer throughout the month when work pulls my wife and I away giving our puppy more time with her. Having Jennifer in our corner has given my wife and I peace of mind knowing our puppy is safe, happy and getting her steps in. We couldn't recommend her enough. Bonus, she loves cats as well. This is not how our cat feels about people, however, when Jennifer shows up our cat runs right up to welcome her to our home.”

Autumn Z.
“It was our first time using a dog sitter for our family dog, Otis, and Autumn did a wonderful job caring for him while we were out of town. Otis usually takes awhile to warm up to strangers but Autumn made him feel comfortable and cared for. She was timely and accommodating of all of our requests and we were able to easily trust her while we enjoyed our vacation.”


Grace C.
“Grace is a pet lover. She will seek out animals to cuddle play with etc. she walks and runs my 93 lb. Dog. Makes sure he always has food and water and plenty of cuddles. I would have her take care of him anytime and not worry about him at all. She is very trust worthy.”


Fay L.
“Fay is exceptionally kind and caring. She has a deep love for all animals and is one of the most empathetic people I know. I have trusted all of my animals in her care and will continue to do so. My dogs really enjoy how engaging she is with them!”
