“Jennifer did an amazing job watching our cats, including managing special diets and medications. Great communication and great attention to detail. Her kindness shows in how she interacted with us and our pets. We will absolutely seek her out again in the future!”
About: I've grown up caring for three dogs at once in a busy household, so I’m no stranger to managing multiple pets with love and attention. I’ve also worked at a dog daycare, gaining hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’m especially confident with dog walking and making sure every pup gets the care, exercise, and attention they need. I’m currently working part time at cub so I’ll need to schedule around that but other than that I’ll be free most of the time. I treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I follow your instructions closely and keep your home clean and secure.
“Outstanding care for our 12 1/2 year old Labradoodle. Jess was so accommodating with a last minute emergency that came up. Went beyond our expectations when we saw our daily photos. If there were 6 stars I would have given them to her! Highly recommend!”
“Trinity was so good to our kitties while we were away. She kept us updated and communicated with us well! Our kitties can get spooked with new people, but they warmed up to Trinity so fast! Will definitely use Trinity again when looking for a pet sitter.”
“Desiree completed multiple drop-in visits (2x daily) during a week-long vacation for my two senior cats. Mr. Twix is diabetic and requires insulin injections twice a day. Desiree was happy to stop over ahead of the trip to go over insulin and daily routines. I asked for photo updates and Desiree was happy to share! She graciously cleaned one poo mess and even helped reset the fuse box when the cat fountain stopped working. Twix and Butters were calm and happy when I arrived home. I felt comfortable on my trip knowing the kids were getting love in my absence!”
About: I have been dog and cat sitting for over 10yrs. I usually stay at the owners house. Experienced with dogs with medical issues, and high anxiety. I have given medications and have done some training. I have done just overnight stays, but have also done 3month long stays. I am also a Hairstylist and Skin care specialist. I rent a chair at a salon and make my own schedule, so my hours are flexable. I enjoy spending time with pets, but just don't live in a place were I can have one. I am not married and have no children, so I am completely available and focused on your pet. I usually like to meet you and your pet/pets about 1week before the scheduled appointment, so I can get to know you, your pet and your pets routine, feeding times, walking, medications if needed, etc. This also helps the dog recognize me when I show up, when you aren't there.
“Annalyse was wonderful. Very prompt and great communication. She was willing to work with us on very short notice. I am 100% confident my 3 cats were well cared for. Loved receiving pictures every time she stopped by! Thanks, Annalyse!”
About: I have had dogs my entire life. I have two of my very own, Stormy a petite bernedoodle and Stella our cockapoo who will be around during visits. We love to walk outside and can easily do solo walks or accompanied walks with your pet. Please let me know any specific details about your pet as we are happy to accommodate. I have a pretty flexible schedule, am usually home every day and can make sure I am home the days I have your pup! I never leave my own dogs alone for more than a couple of hours. Communicate with me your needs and I will be happy to help! We have two of our own small doodles. We love to go out for walks, play, and snuggle on the couch. Let me know anything specific you would like for your pet!
About: I've taken care of pets my whole life , my own, friends & neighbors. I love all my furry friends. I’m always down to hang w the paws! Im currently working part time at a few different places .I always will have time to watch the lovely animals. I have none of my own I will be the pet mommy you are to them . I will do exactly what you want me to do with them with a lil extra of my own love.
“Dayjah is so good to us and our diva cat. She's prompt, highly communicative, super thorough, and I love all the pictures of our kitty cat that she sends us during her drop-ins.”
About: I have experience with many breeds, temperaments, needs, and ages. I pride myself on patience and grace in all these categories. In addition to my pet care expierence I also work with those grieving the loss of a companion animal or working through the steps of preparing for euthanasia and after care. I love spending my spare time with animals of all kinds! Right now I have the most availability on weekends and evenings for walks and home stays, but soon I hope to have even more time. I have a soft spot for senior dogs or fur babies with a little more maintenance. I have a dog and a cat at home that my son and husband assist in the care of when I am caring for other families’ pets. While I have a routine and expectations of my own animals, I am very flexible and respectful of how others chose to care for their furry companions and will abide whatever instructions I am given to care for each unique pet. I am a frequent Sniff Spot user and love going on adventures but also find just as much enjoyment staying in and snuggling on the couch with a good book or movie.
About: Since I was a kid, I have loved all animals and done everything I can to make sure they feel loved! I’ve volunteered with the Golden Valley Animal Humane Society just to get more time with animals! When I got my dog Maggie, I trained her up with my family and stayed up with her all night the day we got her just to make sure she was okay and felt safe. I hope to show the same effort and love towards others’ pets! With my full time job, I am able to choose when I work so I can be pretty flexible! My dog Maggie has a pretty strict schedule due to her small tummy and needing to be fed and walked at specific times so I know how important it is to make sure dogs especially small dogs get everything they need at a good time! As I’ve stated, my hours can be pretty flexible so I’m happy to stay with your pets, play with them and make sure they have a great time while you’re away. They’ll never be lonely with me! (They might even get sick of me because I’ll give them so much love!)
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all sizes and personalities. Dogs have been a part of my life since childhood, and I’ve always found joy and comfort in their company. In high school, I worked at a boutique dog resort and spa called Woofington, where I cared for dogs daily, from feeding and walking to giving them a little pampering. Most recently, I spent three years living abroad in Sweden, where I continued to walk and care for dogs for friends and local families. Whether it’s an energetic puppy who needs a good run or a senior dog who just wants some company and a gentle stroll, I’m here to make sure your pet feels loved, safe, and happy while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll treat your dog like one of my own—with lots of love, attention, and care. Let’s chat about how I can help you and your furry friend! I’m currently in between jobs after my recent return from living abroad! I’m very flexible in the immediate future to help however you may need! Being around dogs my whole life I’m very comfortable with dogs and reading their body language to determine their comfort levels. I’m only interested in coming into my clients’ homes to care for their pets to ensure they’re most comfortable!

Deborah P.
“Deb has watched our anxious terrior mix 8-10 times or so over the last 3 years. Our dog is reactive on walks and barky when around other dogs. Deb has always made our pup feel supported and cared for when we go away. There is always a stress-tell with our dog: smell. The best review I can give is that our pup doesn't have that stress-smell when we return from our trips! These can last 3 days up to 2 whole weeks! In addition, Deb is very respectful of our space and things and keeps things tidy.”

Sidney M.Star Sitter
“As her fiancée we own two beautiful dogs of our own together. She’s the most caring, responsible and loving human to our girls, Stella and Stormy. She’s got the kindest and warmest heart and gives them her everything everyday, unconditional love. I know that she’d be a great fit for rover and would take the task 100 % serious, she’d care for them as if they were her own. No doubt that she’d make new pet friends and make them as comfortable as she could whilst going for a walk or welcoming them to her home.”
