“These two women are earth angels. I had to go to Florida to close on a house I had inherited and my 14 y/o Cavalier spaniel was having some medical issues and needing a lot of and patience. Jennifer and Morgan were beyond excellent - took care of Maddie for 5 days and sent pictures and videos to us to update us on her condition. She just arrived back home now and our gratitude is beyond words for the care and love Maddie had with them. I recommend them highly and will always call them first for any future dog care needs. You won't be disappointed if you use their services - I'm certain of that.”


“Jenna was amazing with our two pups! We are new to the area and were worried since they have never stayed with someone other than family before. Dogs can always sniff out good people and as soon as they met Jenna they loved her. I would recommend her to anyone and will definitely be using her again!”


“Joy was very attentive to our sweet Sadie girl. She gave her lots of attention and cuddle great one on one attention as well. Took her on walks and also kept us updated on how she was doing and sent super cute pictures. I will definitely use Joy again when we need over night care.”


“Our Gus loved his mini vacation away from home! Kari sent pictures and videos all weekend. We highly recommend using her! Communication was great and our puppy looked like he had a blast! We will be using her services again! Thank You!”


About: Hi there! I’m currently a veterinary assistant with three years of hands-on experience, and caring for animals truly brings me joy. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and have lots of fun while in my care—whether that means going for a hike, playing fetch, or simply relaxing on the couch (if that’s okay with you!). I’m very comfortable administering medications and supporting any extra medical needs your pet may have, thanks to my background in veterinary care. In our home, we have one friendly pup who loves meeting new furry friends. I’m also a nursing student, but my classes are only a few hours a day, so I’m home most of the time and available to give your pets plenty of attention and affection. I’m happy to keep you updated with as many photos and messages as you’d like—it’s important to me that you feel completely at ease while your pets are with me. Let’s work together to create a warm, safe space where your pets can feel right at home! I have class a few times a week, but very much spend a majority of my time at home, there are quite a few weeks I’m also available! When they are at my home whether for daycare or boarding I take my dog on a 1.5-3 mile walk through our quiet town of Courtland. If weather permits I like to go to Flandrau or Fort Ridgley state park if your dog would enjoy that! I also have a backyard that I would be happy to play fetch in with your pets as well!

“Allison and her family were amazing!!! Updates and pics were sent daily during the stay. When I picked my dog up she had the biggest smile on her face. Will definitely be rebooking!”


“Huck had a great stay with Andrea and her pups! Her communication was great leading up to and during the stay! She is very knowledgeable about dogs. We will def. have her watch Huck again!”


About: I am currently retired from working at animal hospitals for 30 + years. I have had dogs since birth! My husband and I enjoy fostering dogs through The Bond Between in Minnetonka. I am retired and home most days and nights. I do occasionally go into the cities to visit family. I am happy to work around clients schedules. I have a fenced yard. All my foster dogs have been treated like family. I have 2 dogs of my own that love having visitors.

About: I have spent the past three summers doing overnight dog sitting in my hometown just about every weekend. I have been recommended and continue to get new jobs. I am a part time student at the University of Minnesota so I have plenty of free time. I also serve in the army national Gaurd. I have now been dog walking and dog sitting for over 3 years in Mankato and would love for more opportunities. I am a part time student at Minnesota State Mankato and only have classes in the morning so I have plenty of free time in the afternoon and overnight. In the summer I am home in Brownsville Minnesota and looking for more opportunities near me Over the past three summers of my dog sitting career I have had 5 clients that have me stay at their house over the weekends while they are gone. I love running and exercising so the animals are sure to stay active. I have not run into any problems in the three years I have pet sit before.

“Cody and her family are such sweet people who genuinely care about your pet. Our Golden Retriever was so excited to meet them and their Golden, Minnie, at drop off. He looked just as thrilled to be in their care in the photos/videos Cody sent me all weekend and when we arrived to pick him up. I didn’t have to worry about our Charlie whatsoever so I was able to enjoy my time away knowing he was being treated like family with Cody. We will absolutely be bringing Charlie back?”


About: I have experience in pet sitting for horses, cats, and dogs. I own and have over 25 years of experience. We have a husky and two horses. I am open to what the clients needs are. I am open for walks, daily care, and overnight care. We have a husky and horses so know what it takes to care for these animals on a daily basis. We currently do not have a fenced yard but are putting one in this summer. We just moved so we will be installing one soon.

About: I've had dogs and cats all of my life, sometimes three at a time! I've pet sat for friends and family, and I worked at a humane society. My husband and I currently foster one dog at a time from a local animal rescue. I work from home all day except for Mondays. Lots of time to play with your pup and walk them. My home is quiet and child-free. I have a big shepherd mix who absolutely loves other dogs and would enjoy keeping your pup company. I can easily crate and/or separate a dog if that makes them feel safer in a new space. My husband and I are usually home on the weekends, too, so your pup will never be lonely and will get plenty of love and exercise.

“Christina and Cody were fantastic. This was Zane's first time boarding and they cared for him so well and kept me updated with photos, which I loved! Lovely Family! Will definitely book again!”


“Kaylin was awesome. Very responsive to communication and took great care of our Dozer. Easy to work with and has a great dog park near by. Will use her again when we fo out of town next time.”
