About: I’ve been obsessed with dogs since I was a kid. It started with a family German Shepherd and never really stopped. Over the past few years, I’ve regularly cared for dogs for friends and family, including senior dogs and high-energy breeds. I’m good with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I work hybrid, but my partner and toddler are home full-time, so your dog will always have people around in a calm, lived-in space. I work hybrid: three days a week in-office, the rest from home. My partner and toddler are home full-time, so your dog will always have company and a stable routine. We’re an animal-loving home without a dog of our own, so yours will get our full attention. We have a fenced-in backyard, live near multiple parks, and go on walks regularly. The house is calm, lived-in, and ready to follow your dog’s routine!
“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.”
“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.”
“Bella had a great time meeting and playing with Kelsey, her family, and her 2 pups, Joy and Luca. I wasn't sure how Bella would do with a larger dog, and I was pleasantly surprised! It was so enjoyable to see how Bella interacted with everyone and how welcomed she was by the entire family. Kelsey is prompt responding to my requests, is quite flexible, and shared photos of Bella's day. I highly recommend Kelsey!”
“We met Takenya for doggie daycare, and our dog had a wonderful day! Takenya LOVES dogs and it shows. Remy immediately took to her and the several photos and videos she sent showed how comfortable he was in her home and with her. He came home happy and tired🥳 Thank you, Takenya for caring so deeply and communicating so well!”
About: I've taken care of small and large animals since I was a farm kid. I have experience assisting AKC training classes and can administer medication. Have a clean driving and criminal record, a fenced yard, lots of time, and lots of love. I work remotely/ work from home so have time every day to care for your pets in your home or mine. Any day available to schedule I have lots of time for your pets. I have a fenced yard, one cat and one dog that has completed three rounds of AKC training. I can crate or separate your animal as needed, or they can have an entire extra bedroom to themselves for down time or sleeping.
About: Hi, I’m a retired mom that enjoys cuddle time with your baby fur buddy. I had a long time family Pom (2) who passed a few years back and misses their company. Although I’m not ready to have another fur baby yet, I miss the companionship and have a lot of love and cuddles to give. I normally live in St. Paul MN but I am a new grandmother so I have been a little busy helping care for the little one. When I am around, I would love to care for your fur baby. I only take one dog at a time, so your pal can be assured my full attention. I’m home all day and kennel time will be very minimal. Only for errands and such. I prefer a pet that’s potty trained and kennel trained. I have a fluffy bed for relaxing and sleeping. I also have a fenced yard. Hi, Your fur baby will be at home. They have a full run of the house, they have a fenced yard and a companion for 98% of the day. I am loving and caring. Your fur baby will love my home.
“Is it strange to look forward to taking your dog to a sitter again? Not because of my dog, but because of the wild peace I felt with Katherine watching my anxious little girl? You can feel when a sitter has a deep, authentic love for all dogs, and Katherine has that special heart. In any future event, short or long term, I already look forward to the peace of knowing my Ankläh could NOT be in better hands. Katherine is easily one of the BEST sitters I’ve trusted my baby with, 100 out of 10 recommend!! Well gladly be back 🥹”

Abby helped us out last minute, she was flexible and accommodating to what we needed for the afternoon/evening care of our dog. Communication with Abby was great and I really appreciated her follow-up texts and info. We will definitely use Abby again for dog care or pop-in walks.
