“Katie does a fantastic job and we know we are in good hands on vaccation. She takes great care of our pet and always sends us the best photos of our cat while we are on vacation. Highly recommend!”


“Tara was amazing! She sent really comforting messages and photos to me everyday I was on my trip. I could tell my cat got lots of pets and play time to keep her going interaction-wise through the long week I was out of town, something that was super important for her well being and Tara really did a great job on that front! I would definitely trust her with my cat’s care again in the future.”


“Becky was AMAZING!! We lost one of our cats just days before our trip leaving behind her bonded sister. She really came though extra to help Willow through while we were gone during a time of grief and stress. We are so greatful to have had her as our sitter.”


“Lindsay could not have been a better drop in caretaker for our two fur baby rabbits! She sent lots of photos of the bunnies enjoying their visits and the meticulous clean-up and replenishing of their enclosure! It gave us complete peace of mind having Lindsay check in on our fur babies while we were out of the country. We hope she is available the next time, as we would most definitely book again!”


“Pamela was fantastic with our two cats! She was always timely in her drop-ins, gave comprehensive updates, and kept our cats happy and entertained. We highly recommend her for anyone else looking for a sitter!”


“Dexter and Savannah both give Amanda 4 out of 4 paws! Amanda had great communication, took photos everyday, and I came home to cats in the best they've ever been in after a long trip. HIGHLY recommend! She's a great sitter”



“Taylor watched our Ellie at our home over a long weekend. She did a good job caring for our dog. Taylor also helped with watering my annuals so they didn't die and brought in mail left at the door. She is caring and responsible. We would hire her again in the future.”


About: I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs, and I truly love them equally—I could never pick a favorite. I currently have a cat of my own, and I’m often around dogs thanks to family and friends. I’d be happy to help take care of your pet with the same love and attention I give my own. I work from home most days, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I make sure to take a midday walk around noon, so I’m always available for lunchtime strolls. I’m also comfortable with early morning or evening walks—whatever works best for you and your pet! I always prioritize your pet’s comfort and safety, respecting their space and routine based on your preferences. I’ll make sure they feel secure and cared for at all times. At home, I have one very friendly and social cat who’s used to being around other animals and people.

“Alex did an awesome job checking in on our cats while we were gone on vacation! Not only did she feed/water/scoop for our cats but also brought in packages and swept our floors. Would highly recommend!”


“Elizabeth treats our cat and chinchillas like her own and it’s always so wonderful knowing our furry friends are in great hands whenever we’re out of town. She administers daily meds and goes above and beyond to make sure the pets are all happy and healthy. My cat gets very anxious during Thunderstorms, but Elizabeth takes the time to help calm him down and make sure he’s at ease. It’s incredible the difference we’ve seen in our animals since Elizabeth started caring for them. Our cat in particular used to have a lot of behavior issues whenever we’d go out of town. We haven’t had any of those issues since Elizabeth started watching him. She gives them the routine and attention they need, and we always come home to very happy healthy pets!”


About: My name is Mary I would love to welcome your fur babies into my home, while you are away! My family - Me - I love dogs! I always have. I went to school to be a dog trainer when i was 18. I have owned German shepherds, labs, Rottweilers, pomeranians, cockerspaniels, and a couple muts. My dogs are my children and arr 100% spoiled. My backyard is a doggy heaven. I keep a 1 ft pool on the deck to cool off throughout the summer. Coedyn ( 8 yo son) - coedyn loves to run and bike and be fast all the time. Coedyn loves when we watch younger dogs so he can play fetch and tug of war. Ryker (6 yo son) Ryker loves being close and loving on the dogs! He pretends every dog is his he will give them kisses and hugs and snuggles all day. Ryker also loves giving treats to the dogs, and when I'm not looking will share his dinner with them too. Dan (my dad) - my dad lives with us as well, and helps when ever needed. Dan loves all animals! Dan helps with pickups and drop offs of dogs when I am busy with my kids. When I need to leave the house Dan will sit with the dogs so they are not alone in a strange house! Mindy moo - June 1st 2023. Mindy is learning fast! She loves people and has a problem with jumping on them. She loves to wrestle a lot! She also loves her bones. Mindy is food aggressive so she only eats in her kennel (all my dogs do for safety) her favorite place is caribou for a pup cup. Rainy( 8 yo cocker spaniel rottweiler mix) he is LOUD. He loves to bark and growl and chase things, but most of all he loves to cuddle. As a busy house of lots of people we stay active! We have a HUGE fenced in yard, with lots of bones and antlers and toys. In the summer the dogs have their own 1 ft pool they can play in or cool off in. I change the water often as to make sure it is safe. We take at least one walk a day sometimes two. If the weather is bad we go walk around fleet farm and let the dogs use their nose to guide us through the store. If wanted I can bring well trained dogs to the Shoreview dog park to run some energy. I recently started a new job and am now at work a hydrid schedule monday- Friday from 8 am to 4 pm. On Mondays and Wednesdays I am in the office and Dan helps with any and all doggy needs. The rest of the week I work from home and the dogs play in the yard and throughout the house all day. A typical week day starts at 6 am. We get up and go outside for a little bit to wake up stretch and have a potty break! At 630 I feed breakfast in kennels/separated. From 7-8 the dogs get free play and can run in and out as they want and have fun. At 8 am I do separate all dogs and head to work. At 930 am my dad comes up and let's all of the dogs out to play and lounge around the house. During this time they are let out as much as they want to playing the fenced in back yard. At 1 pm the dogs are given a bone and separated to take a nap and my dad leaves. At 430pm I arrive home and the dogs get to run the yard for a bit and I bring them for a walk around the neighbor hood. After the walk they can play and relax while I get dinner ready for my family. At 6 pm we sit down for dinner and all dogs are separated and given their dinner. From 7-10 the dogs get to playand have fun running around. At 10pm we all go to bed. I understand while I am working the hydrid schedule, this makes me less available for pick up and drop off times and I am sorry for that! But I promise your pups will be happy and played with and come home tired! I have a 6 ft privacy fence around a big back yard. I have 2 dogs to keep you dogs company. I have a gate in my home to block off the stairs and front door to ensure dogs do not get out of the front door. I have a kennel available to use if needed. And dogs beds placed around the house for them to use. Feeding is ALLWAYS done separately. I provide dog toys and treats throughout out the day. I also offer baths.

About: With over 30 years experience with animals of all types, your pet is in terrific hands. We (John and Erin) have 4 dogs of our own and we've fostered over 55 dogs over the last year and half (6 of which are in our profile picture!). We've nurtured these dogs and, eventually, adopted them to loving families of their own. We've seen it all, and we're happy to watch over your pet! We are both home during the day and have flexible schedules. We can check on your pet throughout the day, in the evening, or on weekends. Every dog is different, and we will provide the level of care needed for each pet. At our home, we have a fully fenced backyard, with quiet streets for walks. In a client's home, we will provide whatever care is needed based on the instructions we receive. Every dog is different - some require more care than others. We've worked with all types of dogs- big, small, active, quiet. We will provide the care that your pet needs.

“Jen was really helpful in taking care of our kitty! She was willing to jump right in even though it was on a bit of short notice, and she sent consistent updates to ease my mind he was being well cared for. We are so grateful!”

About: I adore animals and have experience with dogs, cats, horses, reptiles, and bugs! I love spending time with pets, whether that means giving belly rubs, going on walks, or just chilling together. I can handle messes too, and have plenty of experience scooping poop and cleaning up all the other messes. I also have experience giving pets their medication. This is currently my only job so I am very available, including during standard working hours. I am available almost every night of the week. I only use items/places in the home that you have approved and otherwise do my best to not disturb anything in the home or outside.

About: I’ve been around animals for the majority of my life. I am comfortable with animals of any size, feeding, caring for, walking, and general grooming. I am currently working full time as a consultant in the IT industry. In my free time, I like to spend my time outdoors, with friends, reading, and doing crafts. I am excited to get to meet you and your fur-family! I have a fenced yard and two cats to keep your pets happy and in good company. I live near by many trails and love to go on walks and runs.
