About: Born and raised in Germany with beautiful cats of all shapes and sizes. My very first cat was my beloved Minki that was a proud 17 years and deaf in both ears! If that wasn't enough, she also only had three teeth and was rescued from the roads. She taught both my mother and I how to be responsible and how pets ARE family. After Minkis passing, my beloved Imy has entered our hearts. Imy was a strong headed almost human-like boy. He knew how to potty on the human toilet, went on walks with me and accompanied me to my school. He was very protactive of us and very clingy. We unfortunately lost him in 2014. Also his name choice might be surprising, but I was a little girl that thought that pretty kitty must be a girl! Well, the name stuck with us! In 2014 we adopted two pretty twin kittens Pixel and Gray. They are going strong at 11 years old, and live with my mother in Germany. After leaving my life behind in Germany to be with my husband, I was determined to be pet free, no hair, no bills - yay! Until we drove to an appointment on a super cold day and encountered a barely alive kitten - our now baby boy Basil. Basil is the light of our hearts and became a big brother as we adopted Toast just a little over a month ago! I have experience with both female and male cats, disabled, old and young. Both indoor and outdoor cats are familiar to me as I had lived with both at some point. Currently my cats are indoor with occasional cat-walks outside on the leash or when heading out with a cat stroller. My husband has experience with farm cats as he grew up on a farm in Wisconsin. I am a 911 dispatcher and my schedule varies. I work 12 hour shifts and my husband is currently in the process to become a trucker. He will not be over the road, and comes home after his shift. I have several days off due to me working a stretch, but my cats are truly taken care of. We rent a small 2 bedroom house with access to a front and backyard. We live next to neighbors that have a beautiful male ragdoll cat that likes to visit from time to time. I love to clean and am very adament about my cats hygiene as well. Their litter boxes are cleaned up to 4 times a day, they never live in filth, they receive hair care and groom care. Their nails are trimmed regularly, and they receive wet food including dental care. I am also very concious of their safety. Basil tends to be scared of strangers at first, but we own a kitty cam, the cats have plenty of room, with access to all rooms, except basement (as it is not directly accessible through the home). Have window benches, a cat tree, and are allowed to lay wherever they want. The only boundary we have is them being on the kitchen counter.

Fred R.

“I had a great experience leaving my 2 dogs with Donna. One of my dogs is older and anxious but she took excellent care of him. She has a big yard with plenty of room for the dogs to run and get exercise. I loved that she sent pictures and updates every few days while I was gone. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”

Julie W.

“What an awesome find on Rover. Requested daycare at the last minute and David was more than happy to accommodate. Originally requested daycare for ~4 hrs, but appointments at Mayo kept being added on. Thought we would be finished around 2 pm, but not finished at Mayo until ~4 pm...no problem with David and his wife. Our Piper is a small rescue mix-breed with some anxiety issues, but she did great with their boxers. Several pictures were sent throughout the day that definitely decreased my anxiety. We were even gifted special treats that were sent home with Piper. I highly recommend, and will definitely use again in the future with our appointments at Mayo.”

Paula C.

“Elizabeth was wonderful and very accommodating! If we ever are in Red Wing and need boarding we will definitely call Elizabeth! She is a great communicator and sent pictures of our Buster and Teddy!!”

Krissy H.

“Kirsten took such amazing care of my cats!! I appreciated the updates she gave on them throughout the week and they were happy and well cared for when I got back. Thank you!”

About: We’re a small-dog-loving, bilingual family with over 5 years of experience caring for pets—our own and others’. We are a multi-generational home, where i work from home and my retired parents stay active maintaining the household. This means we provide your dog with plenty of attention, routine updates, and one-on-one care. My parents enjoy taking dogs on daily walks around our quiet, safe neighborhood and sometimes even drives to the nearby park for longer strolls. We are attentive to individual feeding/dietary needs, and keeping the space clean and calm. We offer several quiet areas for resting, a secure backyard, and a 3-season porch perfect for shy or senior pups. Our 8-pound chihuahua enjoys other small dogs but also has her own space if needed. We follow your instructions closely and treat your pup like part of the family! =) Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine. I work from home with regular breaks, and my retired, active parents help with walks and attention throughout the day. Our small dog goes out 3–4 times daily, and we can match your pet’s routine closely. We’re flexible most days except Wednesdays (no new drop offs this day, and pickups only after 8:30pm) and can provide weekend coverage three weekends a month. Preferred drop-off/pickup times are before 10am or after 4pm on weekdays, with advance notice for exceptions and flexible on weekends. Due to work my calendar and availability is up to date about two months in advance. **Dogs over 25 pounds will require meet and greet*** In our home, your dog will have safe, clean, and comfortable options based on their needs. We offer a fully fenced backyard with shade and toys, a 3-season porch for dogs who prefer quiet or indoor sun, and a temperature-controlled garage for extra space and calm. Our own small dog has her own area, ensuring your pet can relax whether they’re social or more independent.

About: I'm a Veterinary Technician with years of experience, along with Animal Care experience. I graduated from the University of Wisconsin River Falls, majoring in Animal Science with an emphasis in companion animals. I grew up on a hobby farm so I've grown up with animals my entire life. I've had life long experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, guinea pigs, and other small critters. I live in a house. There is also a park just blocks away! I live with my boyfriend. I have solid references from many pet parents that I have pet sat for for years. I’m comfortable giving medications if need be to your animals while you’re away so no need to worry about missing their scheduled medicine. I’m willing to travel for work. I don’t mind driving to you for in-home pet sitting so your animal is most comfortable where they are. With many years of personal and professional animal handling experience I am comfortable and confident with administering medications that your animal may need, nail trims, walks, play time, cuddles, or whatever they may need. I will follow your instructions to the best of my abilities.

“Michael did an amazing job with our dog, Murphy. It was nice to do a brief meet and greet to make sure Mike and Murphy were a good fit for one another. Murphy readily took to Mike and she seemed relaxed and okay to stay. Mike was in touch shortly after we left to let us know that Murphy had settled in, and I received various photos and correspondence while we were away. We will definitely book Mike to watch Murphy again and I would absolutely recommend Mike to others!”

About: I can walk, doggy-sit during evenings and weekends. Prior military knows how difficult it is to trust others to care for your dog. Always a concern of mine when I had to go away for any period of time and so am empathetic to that type of worry and concerns. I can also offer overnights, my home or yours, and negotiable for longer periods. I grew up with dogs so am not intimidated by even the large types, but will need to overnight at your home if the dog is over 40lbs. I have a small female franchie that loves other dogs, cats and people. I work from home most days so can have your dog at my place while you work or are out. My frenchie goes out every 4-5 hours, working from home makes that more convenient. If your dog needs to go out more often it is no problem. My dog is also not allowed to have food constantly, she is fed 3 times a day and sometimes a treat or two, mainly to control her allergies. I have an apartment, the bedroom has carpet but the rest of the apartment does not so I keep my frenchie out of bedroom due to her allergies. If you have a dog with allergies I am familiar with medications and anything else you might need. I have 6 years of experience specific to the bully breed and 10 years or more with other breeds. I prefer that you can drop your dog off with me but can discuss if you need me to pick them up. I also can only take one animal at a time daily.
