“Taylor was great! Our dogs can be a little tricky, but she did great with them! She was very punctual, provided lots of information after each visit, and made sure to keep us updated!”
About: My husband and I are a team of active, educated individuals who love all types of dogs! My husband is a high school math teacher and I am a high school counselor. Working from home during summer has allowed us plenty of time to spend with our dog. We have a 5 year old Yellow Lab who still has the energy of a puppy! We keep up with all routine vet visits and our dog is caught up on all vaccinations including Bordetella (kennel cough). My husband and I live in town but have a large backyard to accommodate play time. We allow our dog on furniture and in our bed a night time..dogs don’t get the long, full life that is humans get, so we like to let him live it as a spoiled pup! We will love your dog like our own!
About: I can care for any type of animal you can think of. Let me know the animal and I will help you out! I have taken care of exotic pets to farm pets. I work a part time job so I have a lot of free time to hang out and take care of the animals I am sitting. Your animal will not be left alone for more then 2 hours at a time. I will care for your animal as close as I can as you do yourself. Your animal will feel at home and loved and cared for.
“Alec and Buddha did a great job taking care of our babies while we were gone. I felt completely comfortable having them at the house alone knowing he was going to be there twice a day to play with them and feed them. I never had to worry that they were in good hands. Alec was reliable and went above and beyond to even report on packages being delivered, etc. I will definitely use him again!”
About: I’ve worked at multiple doggy day cares near Forest Lake MN and I have 2 dogs of my own! I love all animals and treat them like my own! I’m a college student who needs to make more money than what I’m currently making and I’m pretty available Monday through Friday depending on the times! My dogs are walked everyday and played with all the time! I understand the time it takes to care for a dog or cat and so I’m very patient with them.
About: I have lived with animals of all kinds for as long as I remember, ever since I was about 5 I would help my parents feed and take care of the animals, and I still help with many thing weither it's bathing, taking on walks, giving hair cuts, giving vaccinations, cutting nails, or giving medication of all sorts. I am currently a senior in high school so on weekdays I have to wait till 4:00 to love your fur-babys as much as you do. I will give your fur-babys the same care and love as I give my pets at home, while also meeting your specific care expectations to keep your fur-babys safe and happy.
“Zayda did a great job overcoming our rather protective pup, Wynnie's reaction to a stranger entering our home. Her communication was great and we are very happy to have someone so kind and caring to look after our pups while we are away!”
About: My pal Argus and I are glad to watch your dog in your home or ours. We treat all dogs like family, and we love meeting new friends. I work remotely and have flexibility to help out dogs. I'm glad to quickly let you know if a booking works for my schedule. Thanks! I'm very keyed into the dogs I watch and responsive to their needs. I make some exercise a priority but make sure to be aware of how much they need. I'm very good at following any special instructions you may have too.
About: I do walking, snuggles, feed them, potty breaks and lots of play time! I do have a pet myself, but she stays home. I trained her all by myself. I taught her not to bark, lick the face, sit shake, stay fetch, and to love people. I'm a easy going person and I'm a animal lover myself! I hope to hear from you. I can start as soon as possible. You can also reach me at 7I also animal sit for my family and friends all the time. If you have any questions please feel free to call or text me. Thank you, Jenny M.
About: I am very patient and absolutely love all animals. I worked at a vet clinic before I moved so i know how to handle if an animal gets scared or stressed. I currently work full time. I usually get off pretty early in the morning so anytime after 12pm I am available to provide dog walks. I am not currently offering boarding situations. I have a dog and a cat, my cat doesn’t like no animals into her house so she gets very upset.
About: I've had dogs and cats all my life. I am the type to keep my dogs active whether it be playing fetch in the yard or throwing the stick in the lake for them to fetch. I believe in lots of play toys and chewys so they never get bored. I also understand the dog who might be more calm, maybe a little shy and likes time alone, and that is very understandable. I am a retired nurse and know pretty well the signs and symptoms of pain or discomfort. I understand the importance of proper nutrition and availability of fresh water. I lost my 14 yr. old lab to old age 2 years ago, and just recently got a new yellow lab puppy here in March. I really missed having a travel companion! I'm a unique pet/house sitter in that I travel in my beautiful Canadian Roadtrek Campervan and can house "watch" while taking care of your pets. I do not need to stay in your home. Any additional duties other than "watch" your house can be negotiated- like water a few houseplants, etc. I do ask that you provide a household electric (120V) outside plug in. My small RV uses approx. $2-$3 per day of electricity. I love animals. I have a yellow Labrador myself! I travel often in my RV and we make great travel partners often stopping at dog parks 2-3 times a day on our adventures. Beau would love to have playmates! I can only provide mobile pet/house sitting. I am unable to pet sit in the home I live in. I am a recently retired nurse. I am trained not only in human CPR, but I also have dog and cat CPR training. I have given pets medication, induced vomiting -per instructions while on the phone with a vet tech (after dog ate 1 1/2 lbs of bing cherries - pits and all. Happy ending! :). When I go into a home I find myself scanning countertops and floors for potential hazards for pets - things like medications, foods, hot boiling water on stovetop with handles pointing out, etc... I am constantly monitoring for potential dangers. Sometimes things happen though, unfortunately, that can't be avoided and that's when first aid, CPR, poison control line, and Vet info should all be available and handy. I ask that all instructions be written down and text/emailed to me 24 hours prior. That way if I have any questions, they can be answered before you leave on your relaxing worry-free vacation!

“Madigan has always had family pets and has had jobs as a kennel attendant at a dog kennel. Animals love her and she knows how to be kind but firm when needed with dogs.”
Alexandra F.
“I've known Alex for several years as she's the daughter of one of my co-workers. I've been to her family's home many times where they have several pets of their own including cats, dogs, rabbits and guinea pigs and have seen Alex taking care of them in a loving and caring manner. I have had her care for my own pets in my home, I have a very timid 80# Pitbull along with a sassy cat. My dog was very comfortable with her and really enjoyed Alex taking her for walks and car rides. My cat allowed Alex to pet her which is more than she does for most people :) Alex showed up on time and stayed for the time that was agreed upon. As I watched her grow up, I know that Alex has always been a hard worker, a good student and a kind, responsible young lady in general. My pets and I look forward to her coming back for pet-sitting.”
