“Alex is amazing! He was on time. He communicated with me knowing I worry about my babygirl she is 20 years old and on kidney meds. He sent pictures of her and her showing she ate. He took the time to stay and pet her and give her cat cuddles. Alex is very sweet. And will definitely be use him in the future! Thank you Alex for taking care of Pita so well and putting this mum at peace of mind!”


“Really liked Isabella . She let the dogs out fed them for lunch. She sent us a report card which no one else has done before. So we appreciated that. Dogs got along great with her. Would recommend her for sure. Would use her again if she's available for when we need her.”


“Tiara is absolutely fantastic! She is so sweet and cared for our two cats while we were gone for a long vacation. She played with them, gave them attention, and made sure they had plenty of food, water, and a clean litter box. She went above and beyond for us as well, adjusting the A/C when we forgot to leave it on and rolling the trash out for us. She is a very sweet, caring person and if we need a sitter again in the future I hope Tiara is available!!”



“Caroline stayed at my house with my cat, Buffy, while I went on vacation. She was great! Received many pictures and she even watered my plants! I would book her again and recommend her to friends. Thanks Caroline!”


“My cat is pretty easy going but I was nervous leaving her for vacation! Julia sent periodic updates which were appreciated and didn’t mind the cat yelling at her for food and treats. I would book with Julia again.”


“Breck did awesome with our two dogs. It was a very short notice book so we didn’t get to do a meet and greet first but all went well. I loved that she used the app the check in and check out during her drop in visits. She also reported if they went potty, drank water, etc. and posted pics! Will definitely rebook with Breck!”


About: I've taken care of a variety of dog breeds throughout my life. I have experience with farm dogs since I was young and grew up with smaller dogs as well. I understand the trust that goes into taking care of other's pets. I will love and care for your pets just as you do! I am open on Friday's to walk or play with your pets. Additionally, I can do the same on evenings during the week. I am open to scheduling on weekends occasionally, so please free free to ask if needed. When caring for pets in your home, I aim to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely—whether it’s feeding times, medication, playtime, or bedtime rituals—so your pet feels safe and comfortable in their familiar space. On walks, your pet’s safety and happiness come first. I will tailor each walk to your dog’s energy level, age, and preferences—whether that’s a brisk walk, a slow sniff-around-the-block, or some active play. I keep walks leashed, positive, and free from unsafe interactions.

“Jill gave excellent care and attention to my cat, Liley. I felt very comfortable being away knowing that she was being so well taking care of. Liley warmed up to Jill’s care immediately and was giving Jill a lot of purrs and snuggles. This attention is something she only reserves for me.”


“Sitter took wonderful care of my cat. Really appreciated the updates/report on how Caterina was while at her home. Excellent communication. Very friendly and helpful. Thank you.”


About: Hello! I’m Rachel! Born and raised in Grand Forks. I have been actively working with animals for the past 10 years from the ages of 2 days old up to 16 years old! I have administered medications, worked with wounds including stitches and punctures. I work at a local doggie daycare as well! My family and I have fostered for the past 7 years over 110 animals. While fostering I experienced a bunch of different temperaments and behaviors. Although my home is full with fur babies I want to continue helping with others! My schedule kind of varies depending on my work schedule. I will do my best to make accommodations as needed. Potty breaks etc will be done throughout the day along with feeding. Poop is picked up each time. Accidents will be cleaned. Feeding schedule be based on your pets needs and instruction. They will get daily exercise playing or walk depending on your preference. Cats will be fed, played with and box cleaned as needed

“Jaedyn was great with my dogs, Charlie and Lily! She was able to let them out while I was out of town for a few days. She sent so many cute pictures of them during her visit, which I loved! I will definitely be using Jaedyn again when I travel for work.”


About: Long time pet lover. We currently we have one dog: Lily, a seven year old lab mix and a three year old cat. I have a dog grooming business as well so adding that feature to a boarding is a breeze. I have been a certified dog trainer for four years and have enjoyed working with my clients to help their dogs overcome challenges after being adopted from a rescue. I know simple tricks to help your pups unset stomach with a simple easy to digest diet of rice and chicken. Also, can calm anxiety with an ace wrap and a gentle walk. I love getting to know an animal’s personality and working one-on-one training and engaging their minds. Pet care is a daily routine. With three kids and three dogs, they all need ways move their bodies and work their minds. We find fun games that the kids and dogs can be involved in. Like hide and seek. We have a fenced in yard to allow our dogs in and out of. I use leashes when outside of fenced areas to maintain control of what the dogs has access to.

About: I grew up with lots of animals. I’ve volunteered at local shelters. I feel very comfortable with feeding, bathing, grooming, walking, administering medicine, etc. Always willing to learn more and adjust to you & your pets needs! I’m currently working part time as a waitress. My schedule is quite flexible. I primarily will be looking at working for Rover on weekends day/night and Monday nights! I don’t offer service in my home as I already have two dogs. However I will treat clients home with the utmost respect and am very clean!

About: Retired from farming with my husband, and so I now have an open schedule. I have had pets for over 35 years. Living on a farm raising my children, we have always had pets. The family love of animals might have led my daughter to her career as a Veterinary Technician. I am retired, so my schedule is open. Available when it matters most. I enjoy walking, so your pet will get plenty of walks and outdoor fun. I am an honest, kind, and respectful person. I would treat your pet and home with the utmost importance. With my previous real estate career, it was very important to have your clients' trust, as it is in taking care of your pets. Pets are so very important in one's life and become part of the family, and they should be treated as such.

About: Hi, I’m Eddie! I’ve been around pets my entire life, and I know they’re not just animals — they’re family. Growing up with four or more pets at a time gave me experience with everything from puppy energy to training to caring for adult and senior pets. I’m comfortable following whatever routines, rules, or care instructions your pet needs to feel safe and happy. Whether that means sticking to their favorite walk, keeping up with playtime, or providing plenty of cuddles, I’ll treat your fur-baby like my own. I’m also experienced with both dogs and cats and can adapt to each pet’s personality, whether they’re playful, shy, or somewhere in between. My goal is to make sure they feel loved, cared for, and completely at ease while you’re away. Thank you for considering me! I look forward to meeting your pets and giving them all the love and attention they deserve. Even with classes starting soon, my schedule is very flexible. I’ll have gaps throughout the day and time after class to provide walks, feedings, and plenty of love to keep your pet happy and cared for. I care for pets in their own home so they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I always follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special routines to make sure your pet feels safe and cared for. I treat your home with the same respect I treat your pet — locking doors, keeping things tidy, and giving you peace of mind while you’re away. My focus is on safety, trust, and keeping tails wagging until you get back.

About: I have had a dog since i was 13 and recently got a puppy a year ago so i have lots of experience with dogs & puppies Im currently working full time but I could come in the morning before work & go back right after around 2:30 and could check on them multiple times throughout the night I will give your pet the same love as i do my own pets! I will play with them & give them cuddles & all the scratches they need

About: While growing up I was always around animals and my family currently has two dogs. I’ve taken care of all different kinds of dogs of all different ages and sizes! Working at a doggy daycare definitely gave me a lot more experience as well. I am experienced in giving baths, cutting nails, brushing out knots, brushing teeth, and dealing with all sorts of food and meals with all sorts of ingredients! I love going on walks with my own dogs on nicer days, even though they have a big yard to play in. My 90lb lab can be pretty strong, but I always feel in control and confident in keeping her safe with me! My schedule is pretty flexible and open!! Just let me know what works for you and I will try my very best to have that time for you if I’m not already free! My pups at home have a big fenced yard that they like to explore and run around. My lab was half-trained to be a bird dog so she loves trying to sniff out any critters back there in our gardens. Both of my dogs are big on affection, so when they’re not busy with their toys, they’ll come and cuddle/sit with me!
