“Ellen is so patient & understanding with my fearful dog. I drop my dog off with a wagging tail which says a lot! I am so grateful for her & her availability and communication.”


“Walter had a great day with Jie. Appreciated the pics and photos to ease my first day nerves. I can feel the love and kindness that went toward Walter. Looking forward to more days with Jie!”



“Carrie is the best! Bear was well taken care of and had so much fun with Willow!! Bear was 100% comfortable going there each day! Thank you, Carrie & Willow - we’ll see you soon!”


“June is always super excited to be dropped off to play with Mckenzie and her dogs! Mckenzie has been wonderful with our 5 month old pup and its been so reassuring to leave June with someone who we know loves dogs as much as we do and also has the skills and knowledge on managing different ages and varying dog’s behaviors! She is very communicative and prompt with her replies and she has always been loving and patient with our dog!”


“Bethany was THE BEST person for my dog. She has a very lovely home that is tidy and has created such a calming and welcoming vibe. Throughout the sit, she would keep me informed on what was going on and reassured my anxieties of leaving my dog with her. She listens and respects any of your requests. I could tell my dog had a lovely time with her because by the time I came to pick him up, he was hesitant to leave, which all the good signs that he felt at home. If I'm ever in the area again, Bethany would ultimately be my first choice. Thank you Bethany for all you've done to help my dog feel like it was another home and friend to visit.”


“Brianna is incredibly prompt and flexible in scheduling which we truely appreciate. She sent regular updates and pictures showing how Pablo was adapting to a new daycare experience which was helpful. Her family and pets were relaxed and welcoming. Pablo had a good first day with Brianna and her family and we look forward to further daycare with her again soon.”


“Emily had a huge fenced in back yard that my dog could explore and play with the other dogs. It’s nice that she could get exercise. They liked having her and would love to care for her again.”


About: My wife Sy and I have loved growing our fur family, we have felt so much gratitude and satisfaction rescuing and training each pet to be sweet, smart, obedient pals. As a couple we like to enjoy our home, we have a fully fenced in yard and lots of cozy lounging spots spread around our home. We currently have one 6 month old pup who is very social and attends puppy day cares herself to be emerged with dogs of all breeds and ages, as well as two one-year old cats who still have kitten energy and love to play with each other, including their dog sister. All of our pets are spayed and neutered. One of our cats has IBS and is on medication so we have gotten to be pros at administering medications to squirmy and quick kitties. Some days I travel for work, and Sy is home full time to care for your furry friends. As stated earlier I travel for work but usually have half the month off to spend time with your four legged friends, and Sy is home full time to hold down the fort. We have a fully fenced yard with plenty of outdoor toys, and a very social puppy to keep them company. Please let me know of any special requests, allergies or quirks as well as known commands that your pet responds to so I can match my training style to yours.

“This was my first time leaving Atticus with a sitter on River and it couldn’t have been a better experience! She was so great at updating us and I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her. We will absolutely be asking Gabbi to watch Atticus again!”


“Patti is great! She is very responsive, gives photos and updates of cute things the dogs do, she has a nice yard, and my pup loves to play with hers. My dog always pulls to get to Patti’s front door and has a blast playing all day long.”


“Amanat was fabulous. Buddy went right up to her and loved her. We are so grateful to have found such a wonderful dog sitter. She even sent home toys with him. Buddy hit the jackpot!”


“Deanna is so welcoming to both me and my pet! I have been delighted with her care and communication. It makes all the difference in the world to leave my pet with a kind, caring, fun person and home and that's Deanna! My dog, Foxy, runs right up to her and comes back with a smile and signs of a fun day! Thanks, Deanna!!”


“I can't speak highly enough of Kristine! I took a chance on a day care near my work and sent a request to her the night before needing her. Upon meeting her the next morning, all my apprehensions left! She was genuinely welcoming to me, but more importantly, to my pup, Bella. You know how you kinda wish your pet would look back and wonder why you're leaving them especially at a brand new place? Bella pranced right up to Kristine's house and was ready for the day's adventure. Clearly, I was more nervous than Bella. Kristine sent me an update within the first hour to let me know Bella was doing fine. It was even more exciting to hear that my little Bella was playing well with Kristine's bigger dog, Gio. What a twosome they were! Thank you, Kristine, for making this work emergency of mine doable and caring for Bella so lovingly.”


About: We just said goodbye to our 12 year old lab. We are not ready to adopt again but need a dog in the house! Your dog will be spoiled by our family (we have two boys-3 and 5), spend lots of time in our fenced yard, play at the dog park, and get lots of snuggles. We are a homeschooling family, so we are around the house most of the time. My boys and I are in and out of the house throughout the day, but because we homeschool, we are home a lot! We spend most of our time outside in our yard or hiking the Minnehaha Dog Park. We have a fenced in yard and home that is used to having a dog. Our boys are loving, gentle, respectful, and playful with dogs. Dogs are welcome to be on our furniture and live comfortably in our house!

“Thank you, Susan. Your love for dogs really shines through. 😊 You were able to make a positive connection with Tia quickly. I appreciate all the love and attention you gave her while I was away.”



“Stephanie was super nice, we were able to meet her and one of her cute dogs the day before leaving our puppy with her! She has a great yard for the dogs to play in. She answered our messages very fast and she sent cute pictures of out little boy! Great experience! I will contact her again next time I have to work long hours.”

About: I have been a go to pet sitter for many of my friends, family and acquaintances for years. From large horse of a dog to a small dog I can hold in my hand I’ve watched them all. I do love pitties and those sweet land seals are my usual clientele. My house has always had animals and I have cared for animals in all tracks of life from puppies, animals with adaptive needs and distributing different kinds of medicines (pills, shots, topical ointments, feeding assistance etc) I will not be able to do at my home animal sitting until middle of July as of right now but I am scheduling out at that time. I work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible and I’m around most of the day most days, I have to go in office on some days but generally not for a long time. I do not have a fence at this time but I will be getting one at some point soon. My vegetable garden is fenced off and safe from wandering animals.
