“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!”
“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!”
“Kari was so great! Maverick loved playing with her 2 dogs and was tuckered out when we picked him up! Kari was easy to work with and sent updates with a picture each day! Would definitely recommend her and her family!!”
“Our dog, Ranger, received excellent care. We had no worries about him while we were on vacation. He probably got more attention than he gets at home! We will definitely be booking Rachel again when we go on another trip! She's very accommodating, warm and friendly.”
“Julep loved playing with Danika’s dogs all weekend in the backyard. We will definitely let Julep stay with her again. She had a blast and came home exhausted and happy.”
“I’ve known Jenna for a long time. She’s a very kind, giving and trustworthy person. Her animals are treated like family, with healthy food and lots of cozy spaces. Her home is tidy and clean, with a large enclosed backyard. She has looked after my 3 crazy dachshunds many times. She will spoil your fur babies!”
“Sammy had such a great time with Casey and her family! We will absolutely be going back!”
“I highly recommend Madison! From our very initial encounter, she was very kind, reliable, and went above and beyond to make sure Daisy, our golden retriever was comfortable with her. She provided me details of how the walk went which shows just how much attention she gave to our girl. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Daisy was getting great walks and was in such good hands. I’m so grateful to have found her and will absolutely be working with her again!”
“Beth and family were awesome to my fur baby. My GoodleDoodle enjoyed all the attention and play time and came home tired out which was great for me to relax to. Will definitely use again!”
“Haley was amazing. My dog received tons of exercise, care, and love. Haley kept me in the loop and gave me the reassurance that my dog was at a home away from home. Regular updates and quick to respond to any message I sent. I highly recommend her, she was outstanding!”
“Elise is a caring, active, and enthusiastic pet owner and caregiver. She goes above and beyond to make sure her pets are cared for and shown love, including DIY lick mats, creating her stimulation activities, and, of course, lots of walks! You and your pet would be lucky to have Elise as your pet caregiver.”
“Heidi was absolutely wonderful!!! She took such good care of Smoke and Lizzy, and she sent us lots of great photo updates while we were away. She took Smoke and Lizzy on lots of walks and to the dog park, and she was also really flexible with drop off and pick up times. She was the best dog sitter, and we would highly recommend her. We would love for Heidi to watch our pups again the future. Thank you so much Heidi!”
“Riley deeply cares for her dog and pets around her. I can confidently say she is one of the most loving and caring owners I know. Riley would be the first person I go to if I need a sitter for my new puppy. She goes above and beyond to make sure her dog Bear has the best life possible and she would do the same for yours!!”

“Very good with dogs, loves dogs and cares for them a lot. Cares for all dogs like they are her dogs. Great at talking to them.”
“We had a great experience with Ally and Cooper seemed to as well! We’ve had negative experiences with boarding facilities in the Mankato area, and Cooper would almost come back afterwards and seem traumatized. Cooper definitely DID NOT seem traumatized when he came home from Ally’s. He took a short nap, ate, and then went on about his life. For us, this was a great sign that he had a good experience! We will definitely be utilizing Ally’s services in the future. Thank you Ally!”
“Payton has been exposed to dogs dating back to her earliest years. She grew up in a multi-dog home, with as many as 5 dogs at any given point in time. We believed in teaching responsibility and exceptional pet ownership and Payton participated in the daily care of the dogs in addition to basic training using behavioral principles. I am a doctor of psychology and the applied behavioral sciences instructed us on how to train and develop our dogs. Payton also has watched dogs in our neighborhood, dogs of relatives, and recently stayed in the home of a multi-pet family based on referral. She has the experience and skillset needed for this position.”
“Audrey took great care of our dog, Parker, when we were out of town for the weekend! She sent lots of updates with pictures! It gave us peace of mind to know that Parker was in good hands! We will definitely book again!”
“Kenzie was great with Bear! She updated me multiple times throughout the day while I was gone on a trip and added pictures! I would highly recommend her!”
“We drove up to Minnesota from South Carolina to visit family. It iwas hard to leave them but it gave us the opportunity to give 100% of our time to spoil our grandkids. Our fur babies were well taken care of. They were very happy with Lacey & Troy. We will definitely use them again when we visit family in Minnesota. Thank you so much!”
