House Sitting in Minnesota City

“Ajia W was wonderful with house and cat sitting on my recent vacation out of the country. She provided good communication through texting and a variety of cat pictures and video making me feel much more at ease. I felt like my cat Turbo warmed up to Ajia quickly and enjoyed the time with her. Ajia took care of my home, mail, did dishes, and even her laundry before my return. I would recommend her for any cat or home care and will use her again on my next trip.”

“Thank you Rebekah for all the updates and pictures you sent of my pup while I was on vacation last weekend and this weekend. I was able to enjoy my trips knowing my fur baby was in good hands and I could count on your care for her while I was away.”

“Sydney and our pup Annie bonded immediately. Sydney was very knowledgeable about dog behavior, very responsible, and I'm pretty sure our house was cleaner upon our return than when we left. She was wonderful with communication and photos and is very organized. We highly recommend Sydney and will be booking her again in the future. Thank you Sydney! We're so glad to have met you.”

“We are thankful we found Abby! She did a great job taking care of our fur babies and house sitting. She provided us daily pics and reached out with any questions or concerns. I would highly recommend her. We will definitely be using her services again. Thank you, Abby!”

“Cindy house sat our 3 dogs and 2 cats for a week. She did an excellent job. Was always prompt in communicating to us and responding to our texts. She took excellent care of all of them. She played with the dogs in the yard -- sending us video and pictures. Played with and brushed the cats. Every animal has a unique diet and is fed 2x per day. Meals include supplements or medications. She followed it all exactly. She also cleaned the house up before she left including vacuuming. There was very little we had to do upon returning. She's wonderful and we recommend her highly.”

“Jillissa is wonderful! Thoughtful, reliable and attentive. I felt at ease leaving my kitties with her.”

“Heather was great and very knowledgeable of dogs. She stayed at our house for a weekend while we were away and left the place nice and tidy! Our doggo enjoyed her being there.”

“Marley was fantastic! My dog sure seemed to enjoy her over night stay. I hope I have the opportunity for Marley’s services again! Thanks you Marley”

“Madi did a great job with our cats and 2 year old dog! She provided several updates and took our pup on multiple walks and even got her a favorite treat, a pup cup!”

“Alex did a great job sitting for my elderly dogs. She tended to their needs kept them company while I was gone. My dogs absolutely loved her. In fact they keep looking out the window to see how if she is coming back. Great job Alex. Will definitely be having her sit again. Was a complete pleasure. Thank you.”

“Alyssa stayed at our house with our two whippets & cat while we were gone on vacation. It brought such comfort knowing that they could stay in their own home & get plenty of snuggles. Alyssa gave us frequent updates while we were away. We will definitely have Alyssa back.”

About: I have grown up with dogs since the age of 8; I mainly have experience with large dogs, but have cared/pet sit for smalls dogs as well and I am always looking to meet more! I own both cats and dogs, so I have plenty of experience with both! I cannot wait to meet your companion(s) and I will do everything I can to ensure their safety! I am currently working part-time, but my hours go no longer than 4 hours. I am free anytime before 3 PM Tuesday-Saturday, and am available anytime Sunday and Monday. If I am pet sitting, like I had mentioned, my shifts typically are 2-4 hours but never exceed 4 hours, so I could pet sit any day of the week/weekend. I feed my dog and cats three times a day, take my dog out 3 times and then a long walk. All of my pets are indoor, which means they are always warm and sheltered. I also pay close attention to anything that ever seems “off”. I have also been given specific instructions from families who have had me pet sit for them and have always given my all to ensure everything is done just how they like, and I am willing to do the same for you!

About: I grew up on a farm and I have experience with multiple different breeds of animals. I take the time to listen to animals and their body language. I work part time. So i have plenty of extra time to spend and care for your fur baby. Im available Monday to Friday after 2pm and weekends! I have plent of yard space and easy access to walking tails and parks. I do have a dog friendly cat who can keep ur fur baby company

“We met Emily while she was working at a local pet kennel and she was pleasant with the humans and enthusiastic with the pets. We even employed her to come to our home to walk and play with our dog. She was professional, kind, and our dog LOVES Emily!”

“Jacque was wonderful while staying with my puppy Atlas for the weekend! She provided me with great updates and pictures. I could tell Atlas really liked her and he was the same happy, sweet pup when I returned home!”

“Abbey & Joe were great. We appreciated that they always responded to messages very quickly and after meeting both of them during the pre-care meet & greet, we felt confident our dog & home would be in good hands. We will definitely reach out to them again.”

“Kendra was wonderful. Our dogs were very well taken care of, and their daily routine was maintained for them. She also took great care of our home too. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Will certainly rebook with Kendra for our next travel needs.”

About: My name is Ashley, I’m 26 years old and am a school social worker. I recently moved to the Winona area. I have grown up with dogs my whole life and have my own dog who is 2. I have also house and dog sat for multiple dogs. I’ve had dogs in my family ever since I could remember and I get along with them great. I love dogs, and this would be an ideal job for me. I currently work full-time in a high school. I work a regular schedule so my availability shouldn’t change much besides opening up more in the summer. I have a friendly dog who loves playing with other dogs. I have room and space to spread out and am very active, so I enjoy walking and being outside.

“Cate is incredibly kind, caring, responsible and has great energy, which is crucial for building a relationship with any dog. Our dog gets excited any time she comes over : )”

About: I have lived with dogs my entire life. I have walked, fed, bathed, and entertained dogs for as long as I can remember! I have worked with dogs of all ages and many different breeds, small or large! I am currently working full time, but I already walk in the morning and would love to have a furry friend to walk with. I mainly walk around lake Winona but I am willing to walk wherever you request. I offer three services through river, these include: walking, check ins, and boarding. I have recently moved into a large home with a yard great for pets. I live in outside of down on a dead end street with little traffic. I can assure you that yours pets will be treated with respect and love 🤍😃
