“Jenna was amazing with our two pups! We are new to the area and were worried since they have never stayed with someone other than family before. Dogs can always sniff out good people and as soon as they met Jenna they loved her. I would recommend her to anyone and will definitely be using her again!”
“Sebastian had a great time staying with Danika! She was flexible with pick up and drop off times. She checked in with us frequently to let us know that Sebastian was doing very well! I could tell by the way she interacted with my little guy that she truly has a heart for animals. We will be booking with Danika again for sure!”
“Miko was in good hands! He came home tired and happy because he got to play with a couple of other dogs during his stay. We also had to come home a day early due to bad weather, and she accommodated us with no issue. Highly recommend!”
“Joy was very attentive to our sweet Sadie girl. She gave her lots of attention and cuddle great one on one attention as well. Took her on walks and also kept us updated on how she was doing and sent super cute pictures. I will definitely use Joy again when we need over night care.”
“We very much appreciate Kari and family for taking Lola in for a whole week. That was the longest period that she has ever been away from us. We enjoyed the updates and pictures that were sent to us during her stay. Lola made some new friends and had plenty of activity to keep her busy. Highly recommend Kari for boarding!”
About: Allow me to put your mind at ease while on vacation, at work, or if you just need a night away! Your dog will enjoy swimming in our pond, playing fetch, and exploring life in the country as well as playtime with Parker (golden retriever) and Lenny (our new Brittany Spaniel puppy). I work remotely with a flexible schedule. I work fully remote as a therapist and can offer frequent potty breaks, playtime, and attention. Your dog will also enjoy the company of our other dogs, Parker (5 y/o Golden) and Lenny (Brittany Spaniel puppy-fully vaccinated). We have a large, one-story home with plenty of space to roam. We also have a heated attached garage where the dogs can also play during the day as well as ample private (but open) yard space.
About: Hi there! I’m currently a veterinary assistant with three years of hands-on experience, and caring for animals truly brings me joy. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and have lots of fun while in my care—whether that means going for a hike, playing fetch, or simply relaxing on the couch (if that’s okay with you!). I’m very comfortable administering medications and supporting any extra medical needs your pet may have, thanks to my background in veterinary care. In our home, we have one friendly pup who loves meeting new furry friends. I’m also a nursing student, but my classes are only a few hours a day, so I’m home most of the time and available to give your pets plenty of attention and affection. I’m happy to keep you updated with as many photos and messages as you’d like—it’s important to me that you feel completely at ease while your pets are with me. Let’s work together to create a warm, safe space where your pets can feel right at home! I have class a few times a week, but very much spend a majority of my time at home, there are quite a few weeks I’m also available! When they are at my home whether for daycare or boarding I take my dog on a 1.5-3 mile walk through our quiet town of Courtland. If weather permits I like to go to Flandrau or Fort Ridgley state park if your dog would enjoy that! I also have a backyard that I would be happy to play fetch in with your pets as well!
“Huck had a great stay with Andrea and her pups! Her communication was great leading up to and during the stay! She is very knowledgeable about dogs. We will def. have her watch Huck again!”
About: I have spent the past three summers doing overnight dog sitting in my hometown just about every weekend. I have been recommended and continue to get new jobs. I am a part time student at the University of Minnesota so I have plenty of free time. I also serve in the army national Gaurd. I have now been dog walking and dog sitting for over 3 years in Mankato and would love for more opportunities. I am a part time student at Minnesota State Mankato and only have classes in the morning so I have plenty of free time in the afternoon and overnight. In the summer I am home in Brownsville Minnesota and looking for more opportunities near me Over the past three summers of my dog sitting career I have had 5 clients that have me stay at their house over the weekends while they are gone. I love running and exercising so the animals are sure to stay active. I have not run into any problems in the three years I have pet sit before.
“Cody was so great with our dog, it made it 100% easier to leave him knowing that he was having a blast and not exposed to the stress of a boarding situation. We especially loved all the photos and video, it was very obvious that he was extremely well taken care of! Many many thanks to Cody!”
“Gloria is everything you want in a pet sitter! She kept us updated the entire time and took care of our dog as if he was her own. It’s evident how much she cares for animals (her “kids” 🤍). Definitely recommend!”
About: I've had dogs and cats all of my life, sometimes three at a time! I've pet sat for friends and family, and I worked at a humane society. My husband and I currently foster one dog at a time from a local animal rescue. I work from home all day except for Mondays. Lots of time to play with your pup and walk them. My home is quiet and child-free. I have a big shepherd mix who absolutely loves other dogs and would enjoy keeping your pup company. I can easily crate and/or separate a dog if that makes them feel safer in a new space. My husband and I are usually home on the weekends, too, so your pup will never be lonely and will get plenty of love and exercise.
About: I have had a dog as a family pet my whole life and I currently have a golden doodle! I look forward to spending time with your dog and treating it like family! I have a full-time job but I will make time for your animal when you need it! I can take them for walks and let them out as needed. I can easily crate your dog when needed and I will use a leash every time we are out to make sure that they do not run away.
“Christina and Cody were fantastic. This was Zane's first time boarding and they cared for him so well and kept me updated with photos, which I loved! Lovely Family! Will definitely book again!”
About: I am very experienced with both small and big dogs. I’ve taken care of a range of different dog breeds throughout my life, and have a huge soft spot for animals! I have grown up with dogs and cats since birth. ❤️ I am currently working full-time for the summer throughout the day, so I am available on evenings and weekends! I also am flexible with my dates, so let me know if you need care a different time during the week, and I will see if I can make it work! For example, if you need me to check in on your pet throughout the day, I can make time during my break. 😀 I have grown up around pets my whole life, so I am very experienced working with fur babies! During my availability, I will strive to provide the best quality care for your pet, creating a safe, active, and comforting environment based on their needs.
