“Ellen was AMAZING. She was so kind and caring and did a great job watching our pug, Yoshi! Ellen was very thoughtful and thorough for our meet and greet and I felt very comfortable having her watch our pet for the first time. We GREATLY appreciate her willingness to take Yoshi last minute! We would definitely recommend Ellen and look forward to more visits in the future!”

“Bethany was THE BEST person for my dog. She has a very lovely home that is tidy and has created such a calming and welcoming vibe. Throughout the sit, she would keep me informed on what was going on and reassured my anxieties of leaving my dog with her. She listens and respects any of your requests. I could tell my dog had a lovely time with her because by the time I came to pick him up, he was hesitant to leave, which all the good signs that he felt at home. If I'm ever in the area again, Bethany would ultimately be my first choice. Thank you Bethany for all you've done to help my dog feel like it was another home and friend to visit.”

“Claire was fantastic with Finn! He had such a wonderful time spending the day with her and Birdie. Claire was very communicative, responded quickly to messages, and kept us updated with adorable photos throughout the day, which we really appreciated. He's already looking forward to his next visit with Claire and Birdie. We highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve had 15 years of dogs in my houses and many pets in the family who have needed sitting. I’m also normally responsible for the puppy age :) My dog is a 6 year old black lab. We live along the river in a townhouse, so I’m always out taking him for long walks or to the neighborhood dog park. I’m currently unemployed so have lots of free time and in the habit of pet care! Pet care available in our home. We have 3 separate floors so I can keep your dog apart from my dog if preferred. Lovely dog park a short walk from the house, access to grass areas right outside our front door, and miles of paths along the river that a very walk friendly.

“Stephanie did a great job with my little Zena. She sent me a picture and updates on my baby to assure me how much fun Zena was having. It's hard for me to find a place or a sitter with a dog the size of Zena (5 lbs) and Stephanie made it so easy for me to book her because she had the perfect dogs and space. I'd book with Stephanie again!”

“I can't speak highly enough of Kristine! I took a chance on a day care near my work and sent a request to her the night before needing her. Upon meeting her the next morning, all my apprehensions left! She was genuinely welcoming to me, but more importantly, to my pup, Bella. You know how you kinda wish your pet would look back and wonder why you're leaving them especially at a brand new place? Bella pranced right up to Kristine's house and was ready for the day's adventure. Clearly, I was more nervous than Bella. Kristine sent me an update within the first hour to let me know Bella was doing fine. It was even more exciting to hear that my little Bella was playing well with Kristine's bigger dog, Gio. What a twosome they were! Thank you, Kristine, for making this work emergency of mine doable and caring for Bella so lovingly.”

About: I have always had dogs in my life and became the extended family pet-sitter in my early teen years. My care ranges from puppies to senior dogs. I am not a certified trainer but I follow any rules, skills or tricks your dog has developed or is working on. I have had 8 dogs in my lifetime. My oldest dog lived to be 15.5 years old. I've cared for dogs with medical needs - kidney disease, seizures, hip dysplasia, depression and anxiety. I have administered medication in all forms. I work remotely from home on a flexible schedule. My availability is not restricted. I am available at all times during the day and night for bathroom breaks, walks or any other care that is needed. At my home, I have a 6-foot privacy fence. Your dog will be safe in my space. Besides being able to roam in the backyard, I enjoy any type of walk - snifari, gentle stroll, get the heart rate going or a pee and poo mission. Rain, snow or full sun - I am willing to get moving. Furniture is available for lounging plus multiple dog beds throughout the house. A dog-bed right next to my desk at home, absolutely! If your dog is crate trained, I have a quiet space for set up. In your home, I will abide my your rules and schedule. In my home, I have two cats. Your dog must get along with cats.

“McKenzie was amazing with my fearful chihuahua. She listed to his needs and more than delivered. We were visiting out of town and requested last minute.

About: 🐶 Over the years, my wife Diane and I have cared for many pups—ours, family’s, and friends’. We both melt at nearly every dog we meet. We raised two beloved Miniature Schnauzers who became diabetic and blind in their senior years, so we’re very familiar with special needs, administering medications, and tailoring care to individual temperaments. We've also socialized young rescue pups, many with special needs, and are always attentive to a dog's unique comfort zone. Whether it’s sticking to a strict feeding schedule, giving meds, or just making a pup feel safe, we handle it with care and compassion. We also love capturing moments—expect plenty of photos and videos to keep you in the loop while you’re away. 👋 We’re a dog-loving couple who treat every pup like extended family. Diane is semi-retired and the primary caregiver during the day, which gives us a lot of flexibility. I work full-time, but I’m involved mornings, evenings, and weekends, so we share the care based on what each dog needs. When we commit to a pup, we coordinate as a team to make sure their routine is consistent and they’re getting all the love, play, and attention they need. Whether it’s a walk-heavy schedule or a snuggle-on-the-couch situation, we adjust with ease. 🏡 We live in a first-floor, multi-level condo in St. Paul’s historic Hill District, complete with a fenced-in backyard for safe and easy outside time. Indoors, it’s calm and cozy—ideal for dogs who like a peaceful home base. We've kennel-trained our own dogs and usually set up a small kennel under the bedside table, offering a quiet den-like space many pups naturally gravitate to. Whether your dog is staying with us or we’re caring for them in your home, our focus is always on keeping them safe, comfortable, and stress-free. We do our best to maintain their routine and bring them comfort while you’re away.

Rachel was very welcoming to my high energy dog. While in the end it wasn't a good fit, I appreciate that Rachel was willing to give it a try. I also appreciate how responsive she was during the initial reservation set up and meet and greet. She is clearly a caring animal lover and I would recommend her!
I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect sitter for my energetic and lovable 5.5 year old sheepadoodle (Mabel) Jackie has a doodle (Vinny) and the two doodles got along great. Jackie greeted Mabel and I with kindness and reassured me that Mabel is in good hands. She sent photos along with an update about how things were going. I will definitely be contacting Jackie again for taking care of Mabel; she’s absolutely fabulous!
