“Juliet has provided care for my cats a couple of times and I will certainly re-book in the future. The cost is so reasonable for a trustworthy caretaker and it’s great to work with someone I can trust.”
“I highly recommend Shenice! She was extremely reliable, consistently on time, and took great care of my cat while I was away. I came home to a happy and well-cared-for pet. Communication was excellent throughout, and I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in good hands. Will definitely book again!”
“Rachel did a great job taking care of our family pets. It was great to know they were well taken care of when we were out of town. She sent pictures and communicated with us daily.”
“Adalynn was great. We loved the pictures and updates we received with each visit. One of our cats is very shy and doesn’t emerge for guests. He showed up regularly for her visits. Would definitely use her services again.”
“Alex always does a great job and is super reliable. I love the photos and updates we get during visits and it makes it easier to leave our cats home while we go out of town. Our cats have totally opposite personalities and Alex is always very thoughtful about interacting with them in their preferred ways to make their experience as stress free as possible.”
“I was apprehensive about leaving my kitty for two weeks and counting on someone else to care for her. Luella reliably cared for Zara and tended to her needs. Thank you, Luella. I would definitely hire you again.”
“This was our second time using Sydney for pet sitting services and she was again phenomenal! Her attention to detail and passion for animals was apparent throughout. We will certainly be using her again in the future!”
“Kaitlyn offered tremendous service on short notice. Not only did she ensure our cat was well cared for during a home visit, but she also went above and beyond in sharing pictures of our pet, her food and litter areas, etc. Highly recommended!”
About: I am a recent college graduate living in Mankato. I grew up on a farm taking care of animals from birth to passing. I have always been a very passionate animal lover and owner. I have previously owned cats, goats, and chickens. And I have taken care of dogs, horses, turtles, and fish so I have a wide variety of knowledge. I currently work a full time job Monday through Friday. But I am open during the weekday evenings for drop in visits and dog walking and I am open on the weekends to house sit. I would not be able to host a pet since I live in an apartment. However I can come to the house of the owner. I am able to match the animal’s needs whether that is relaxing on the couch or playing outside.
“Jessica did a great job with our pets. She left everything very clean and tidy.”
About: I have owned between 2-4 dogs my entire life, ranging from small-large in size. I currently have a medium and a large size dog, both are friendly and love to play! My yard is unfenced, but I have access to a dog park just behind my home. I can offer any potty times and feeding times needed! I'm currently working gig work and do not have a steady job. I am home most of the time and can give your furry friend all of the attention they desire! I have 2 dogs that are very friendly and love to play! I live very close to a dog park, as in I can see it from my home! My dogs play in the house constantly, as well as going on regular walks and trips to the dog park!
“Melissa did great with our dog, cain. I loved that all the pictures she took were blurry, it meant he was running around and having a great time with her.”
About: Dwight and Stu are my current pups, but I grew up around countless pets. As one of the go neighborhood dog sitters I have experience working with a variety of personalities and energy levels. I love the simple activities like walking and playing, but i also know how to slow down and take it easy with older dogs. Working part-time right now allows me to spend time with your pets and I am so excited! I am available weekends and weekdays! I enjoy longer house sitting, but I also love drop ins and walks. I try to care for pets the way the owner would do it. If that means a lot of exercise, I will make it happen!! If that means chilling in the shade and lots of scraches that works too!!
“She took very good care of my cat Yahtzee. She provided pictures everyday, and took care of all his needs! Would recommend her to other people ❤️.”
About: I have had plenty of dogs growing up. At one point I had 5 labradors and a papillon. My family used to foster dogs for the marines before they went to training. Right now I have 3 middle aged labs. Also for the past two years i’ve been pet sitting a cat and dog named Missy and Lenny. Lenny is a German Shepard and Missy is an Angola I currently work part/full time at another job. So I take care of pets before and after work since this a side job for me. As I said I’ve had a lot of pets in the past. I try to provide enough love and comfort for them to feel safe. As well as giving them enough exercise to be happy and healthy.
“Took great care of my cat and was very reliable. Thank you for the daily pics and updates!”
“Ryan did a great job. He did everything just as instructed. Thank you. Allen Wortman”
“Onnika was AMAZING! I just got a new kitten and my other cat is still adjusting to that change and she took every step to make sure both of them not only felt comfortable but loved. She took both of their feelings into consideration and tried out different things to see what was working best for them and what seemed to make them the happiest. For an anxious cat mom who has never left her babies with anyone besides family/friends she was a life saver and sent so many pictures and videos that put my mind at ease. I recommend her SO much and will definitely be using her again in the future :)”
About: I watch friends pets all the time while they are away, not an expert at animals by any means but know how to love them well! I am a nurse and looking for things to keep me busy on days off! I have a doodle myself and we love getting outside and walking! Let me know your normal routine and ways of doing things, rules for your furry friend and I will do my best to keep it just the same!

Celeste T.
“Celeste is a lifelong friend of mine. She is amazing with animals. As a child I would go to her house and watch how she would care for her pets. I admired how she taught her goats to trust humans. You could walk in the barn and they would all come running looking for pets. She's good with not only her own pets but other people's. She loved spending time with my dog as a kid. We would play with my dog together both inside and out in the woods. If she lived near me she would definitely be the first person I'd ask to pet sit if I needed it. I know my pets would be happy and healthy upon my return.”
