“Phillip was available and willing to take my dog for a couple of days when the plans I had fell through at the last minute, which was such a nice surprise and relief! My little dog is a bit anxious and does not like the cold at all, but he was able to keep him safe, warm and comfy while I was away. Thank you again Phillip!”


“This was the first time we used Rover. We left Gunner for a daycare day to start. Carolyn and Kristopher were great with Gunner. Carolyn wrote down all the details of Gunner’s normal routine and his particular needs. He came home very tired which was a win. We will be using them again in February for a longer stay. So thankful we found such wonderful people to leave him with.”

About: I've taken care of dogs from puppies to seniors. I can help with basic training and manners, as well as lots of "walkies" and couch time! Whatever your fur baby prefers, they will be loved by my family and I. I currently work from home, so I am available to your babies 'round the clock. If they need to be let out at specific times or take timely medications, I am available for that as well! I have a fenced yard with a very friendly male, beagle mix to keep your dogs company. I can also crate or separate easily if necessary! I can come to take them for a walk or let them out, no matter the Minnesota weather! I can provide pictures/videos, and updates as often as you'd like. They will be loved by family and I, and treated like one of our pack!
“Our Aussie/Border collie had a delightful time at doggy daycare every day for a week. Jessica and her husband were very communicative, prompt and sent photos. They were patient working through our dog's anxiety on the second day (when he realized this was not just a one-off play date), and he ended up happy and comfortable the rest of the week, playing all day with their resident dog and another friend. We'd recommend them as excellent dogsitters and wouldn't hesitate to use them again.”


“Amazing! I would recommend Mike to everyone mostly if you’re new! My first time taking my puppy, Luke to day care. Mike was great on updating me on how Luke was doing. Mike also has a large yard which is perfect for pups to run and get all that energy out. My puppy got home happy and tired from all that playing. Thank you Mike!”


“Kelly has been great with Coco! Because she has other dogs, Coco had the opportunity to socialize and have a ton of playtime. When I would pick her up in the evenings, she was so mellow which is saying a lot for an energetic puppy. Kelly kept me updated with pics of Coco throughout the day. We will definitely use her again!”

“Julie is great! So flexible and calm. She loves dogs and is comfortable with all of them. She knows which dogs are good playmates for one another. So grateful when Julie is available!!”

“Luke is so committed to giving great care to your dog. He keeps them safe, hydrated, listens to your requests & helps them to get exercise & socialization in his fenced yard. Rachel will “love on” your pet too..He sincerely cares & will communicate well with owners.”

“Giovana and her family were so wonderful with Skye. I couldn’t have asked for a better puppy sitter. Thank you so much for treating Skye like he was part of your family. If I need a sitter again, hopefully you are available. 😁”


“Sarah is fantastic! Gracie has so much fun with her and her dogs. Sarah is patient, caring, and takes wonderful care of Gracie. She sends regular updates and the cutest pictures. I am so happy we found her and can’t wait to continue to have her care for Gracie!”
About: I’ve worked with dogs and cats in many different ways. I have owned dogs my entire life, plus a few cats. I volunteer at the Humane Society in Kansas City while at school where I work directly with the shelter dogs. I have house sat for multiple family friends and am ready to take on new pups and cats! I am currently home from school for the summer so am looking to fill the time. I work part time as a server a few times a week. During the day I often just workout, read a book, or hang with my own dogs. I have fostered a dog before and can adjust well to your dogs needs. I’ve practiced crate training, furniture restrictions, and other small training tasks. My house has an open yard which my dogs are free to run around in when they are not on leash to go potty.
About: Iam a retired educator and Ive taken care of friends pets over the past 3 years. over nights and during the day. I give them love and attention . I am currently retired and welcome all dogs . I grew up with dogs and love each and everyone of them. We will play and have fun together. I give all my animals love and attention. I have a fenced doggy park across the street and I enjoy walking. Your pet will be safe and cared for. and will be under my care always.. I grew up with dogs and cats in south Minneapolis near the lakes. I will give your pet love and attention.
About: Hi! I have two 12 year old dogs of my own and would love to have more but will settle for watching other people’s pets instead! My one dog has kidney failure and the other anxiety so I’m experienced with distributing medication, special feeding instructions. helping then keep calm during stressful situations, and I love to run outside so long walks/runs/exercise is totally doable as well! I work from home so I can be flexible with hours if discussed ahead of time. I can do drop-ins, walks, runs, and boarding at my house. Boarding only small dogs as my dogs are 10 and 13lbs. Any size dogs for drop-ins and walks! Meet and greets required to make sure it’s a good fit! I currently work from home full time 8-5 and can leave to let your animal out during the work hours as long as I have it planned ahead of time around my work schedule. I’m free on the weekends with advance notice as well! Since I have two dogs (under 13 lbs) I would only be able to watch small dogs in my house overnight. We would have to do a meet and greet first to make sure they get along as well. If your dog is really hyper that won’t work to stay here but I of course can do drop ins at your house.
