“Payton was amazing with our dogs. From daily walks to cuddles, they really enjoyed their time with her. We loved all the pics which only reaffirmed that they were in safe hands. Not only were our dogs well taken care of but so was our house while we were away. We will for sure be asking her to sit for us again.”

“Sophia did an amazing job taking care of our dogs, Prince and Caddis! Our house was spotless upon our return and our babies were so relaxed and well taken care of. Would love to have Sophia back again.”

“Christine is a great caregiver! My dog & cats were given excellent care. She stayed a week and kept in touch so I knew how they were all doing. I came home to very happy, relaxed pets because Christine was so good to them. She fed, walked, administered medication and even cleaned up after them.”

About: What sets me apart is the level of care, attention, and communication I provide to every pet I watch. As the owner of two French Bulldogs who require medications and specialized care, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and follow routines exactly as instructed. I pay close attention to details, follow care instructions to the letter, and genuinely treat every pet like they’re part of my family. Friends and family constantly joke that in their next life they want to come back as one of my dogs because of how loved and spoiled they are. I also have a close personal friend who is a vet tech available to me anytime for added peace of mind, allowing me to provide an extra layer of attentiveness and support while caring for your pets. Pets are a huge part of my daily life and routine, and honestly, I couldn’t imagine life without them. My dogs aren’t just pets to me they’re family, companions, and the best part of my day besides my wife. My routine naturally revolves around making sure they’re happy, healthy, comfortable, and loved, from walks and playtime to cuddles and maintaining consistent schedules. I work remotely, which makes scheduling flexible and allows me to provide dependable care, consistent attention, and timely visits throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and giving them affection, companionship, and one-on-one attention, which is why caring for pets feels so natural to me. I truly believe dogs are some of the best humans we’ll ever meet, and every pet I care for will be treated with the same patience, love, and attention I give my own. I provide attentive, loving care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they feel safest and most relaxed. As the owner of two French Bulldogs who require medications and specialized care, I understand how important routines, patience, and attention to detail are when caring for someone’s pets. I follow all instructions exactly as provided, from feeding schedules and medications to walks, playtime, and household routines, ensuring your pets experience as little disruption as possible while you’re away. I treat every pet like family, giving them plenty of affection, supervision, and one-on-one attention — which is why friends and family often joke that in their next life they want to come back as one of my dogs. You’ll also receive regular photo and video updates for peace of mind, and I have a close personal friend who is a vet tech available anytime should I ever need additional guidance or support while caring for your pets.

“Maiya is fantastic! Great communicator and worked really well with our sweet pup. She not only took great care of our Cleo, but also our home while we were away. We highly recommend her- even though we selfishly would love to gatekeep her. ;) Thank you Maiya for everything. We look forward to working with you again in the future!”

“There are no words to express my gratitude to Jessica she was sweet and caring. I was out for a weekend and it is the first time I had to live my cat alone; Jessica babysat her and followed all the routine and perks my cat is used to. Even though Peggy is sort on the shy side, she loved Jessica and I was able to confirmed it when Jessica stopped by to drop the keys, my cat went down her tower to greet her. I will definitely schedule her again if I need to get out of town.”

About: I have taken care of various different pets ranging in various different breeds and ages. I have grown up on a farm and come with a very good work ethic! I have lots of flexibility with your needs and have experience with all different types of dogs! From anxiety to sick and elderly I have taken care of various different needs for pets and would be honored to accommodate your needs for your pets to! I currently attend school at the university of Wisconsin River Falls so day by day my schedule varies with my classes. But I can easily run to your house between classes.

I have lots of experience of giving medication to dogs and doing any special needs for them. I am more than comfortable walking or letting your dog out. I can also crate them if needed.

“Kristin stayed with our pups for three nights! She was very accommodating of their schedules and they seemed to be happy! She sent pictures daily and kept us updated on how they were doing. We would recommend Kristin to others!”

About: I have experience pet sitting dogs, cats, lizards, turtles, rabbits, chicken and more! While cats and dogs ate important family members so are all our other creature friends! I have also worked at the Minnesota Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, rescuing and rehabilitating injured birds from across the state. I’m currently a college student in my last year at UWRF, I’m free most evening to come see your pet and eager to discuss schedule specifics more in depth! I’m happy to drop by and play or stay overnight. Once summer is here I can be avail during the day! Going to your home to watch your pets helps to reduce stress for them when you’re gone by allowing them to stay in a place they already trust. That being said I’m also happy to take pets on adventures to things like the dog park or pet store to help give them enrichment!

About: I'm located in Afton now! I've been taking care of animals all of my life from bunnies to gerbils to cats and dogs! I am very empathetic and have a natural way with animals and extensive experience working with challenging feline cases (deaf and blind, fospice, subcutaneous fluids, behavioral challenges). I'm also comfortable sitting and caring for friendly dogs.. I work from home as a therapist so can have your pet here with me or can make home visits when I'm not seeing clients. I am a "homebody" and love spending time in nature. I am very trustworthy, have worked as a pet sitter for others who can testify to that. My home is clean, spacious and full of love! I am ready to make it cozy and fit your animals needs. I do have some nice rugs and so they should be potty trained if staying at mine.

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.

“Cooper looked so happy when we got home!”

“Lisa was fantastic! We requested her last minute when our dog hurt her leg and changed our travel plans, and we are so happy that we found her! She kept our puppy safe, handled her medications, and left our house spotless. We could not have asked for a better sitter!”
