Dog lovers with yard & space to run

My wife Jess and I have been dog lovers our entire lives and have raised several dogs of my own over the past 20+ years, from puppies to seniors. We have two dogs of our own, Fenway & Ivy, who are both very well behaved with other dogs. We have just recently relocated to the Brainerd Lakes area and are excited to meet with other dog owners, as well as be their go-to dog sitters and caregivers while you are away or traveling.

Nick and Jess took my pup for 10 days and were fantastic. They were really communicative the whole time, consistently giving me updates on how my pup was doing and sending super cute photos. Highly recommend as safe, reliable sitters!

Nick and Jess have been excellent to work with. They are excellent communicators both leading up to and during my pup's stay with them. They have a nice setup in their home with two gentle dogs, and are attentive and considerate about adjusting their setup for individual dog needs.

Nick and Jess were very responsive and sent us lots of pictures. I know Birdie was in good hands and had a ton of fun! We’d definitely use them again.

Great care, and super convenient location to the Orange Line T. Made it easy to drop off our dog and spend the day in downtown Boston and know our pup was getting great care. Thanks!

Great experience again. Nick is really responsive and gives dogs lots of attention. His own dogs get along well with other dogs. Easy drop offs and pickups. My dog enjoys boarding with Nick!

Nick was a great sitter for Wilson! There was extensive communication ahead of the boarding to confirm he understood Wilson’s care instructions, and regular updates throughout his stay. I would leave Wilson with Nick again without hesitation.

I would like to know how your dog interacts with other dogs so that I can be cautious while walking / watching them. If your dog prefers their space and not to be around other dogs, not a problem! Walking and feeding routines are also good to let us know so we can accommodate their daily routines accordingly. I will also need to know about any special feeding instructions or routines that your pup has so that I make sure I can keep the routine as best as I can.
