“We’ve got a long list of all the things we loved and appreciated about Jo during her stay with our fur baby. We truly couldn’t feel luckier that we connected with her! Our Brighton can be a bit of a handful but Jo’s confidence, kindness, knowledge, and the genuine excitement she showed made me KNOW that our girl was in the best of hands. Throughout her stay she provided great “pup-dates” with professional quality photos of what they were up to. She also helped out with some tasks around our house which was not expected but incredibly appreciated. We came home to a clean and tidy home and a very thoughtful thank you note with a super cute Polaroid photo. She thanked us but really we owe her all the thanks!! Would love to have her sit for us again in the future. Thanks, Jo!”


“Autumn was amazing with out 2 English setters- she handled medications wonderfully and gave them so much attention and walks! Our neighbor even commented on how great she was. Look forward to using her again!”


“Shea was amazing! I usually have family watch my dog, so this is the first time I have had someone outside the family watch her. I felt very comfortable and at ease the entire time. Shea did an excellent job and went above and beyond. I will be using her services again in the future :)”


“Sarah was phenomenal from the first contact! She took the time to get to know our dogs and truly cared for them. The pictures, videos and updates throughout the stay were much appreciated! Our dogs can be high maintenance so I truly appreciate her patience and love towards them ❤️”


About: I've been a dog owner for 40 years, and was a foster for a few years for MARS. Although I specialize in German Shepherds, I have taken care of just about every type of dog. My housemate, where I currently live, has 2 rescues - one is a lab/Pitbull mix. The other is a Chihuahua/Jack Russell mix. I also dog sit regularly for my daughter's dog (rescue Pitbull mix) and my son's dog (Belgian Malinois). If I have a special skill I guess it would be that I understand rescues. I'm semi-retired and have a very flexible schedule. I'm in the North Metro but I occasionally drive for Lyft, so I'm familiar with the Twin Cities in general. I'm an early riser so if your dog is as well - that's fine with me! The dogs I've cared for get several walks per day - or ball tosses if there is a fenced in yard. For those dogs who get along with others, we love the dog park. We make sure to go potty before bedtime! My dogs get two meals per day - but if yours get three meals, that's fine too. I've taken care of dogs who need daily pills and those which are in heat. I don't need much when staying at your home other than internet. I bring my own food. I prefer longer stays rather than short ones so I can learn the dog's routine.

“Elizabeth was phenomenal to work with. She kept us updated and sent plenty of photo updates. She even offered to stay later than originally planned so that our dog didn’t need to spend as much time in her kennel until we returned home. The house was picked up and clean (more than we had left it!) and she even washed the sheets and remade the bed so it was one less thing on our to do list! So thankful to have such an amazing sitter!”


“Jessi was awesome! Kept us well informed on what was going on with our pooch daily. Plus kept house neat and clean and took care of flower and vegetable garden. Highly recommend!”


“Alexis was so wonderful! She took great care of my dogs and cats as well as our home. She sent pictures and updates on a very regular basis and I will definitely have her back again.”


“Marsha was absolutely wonderful! Our dogs are not always easy to manage but she did an outstanding job adapting to their needs. Our dogs loved her and we felt comfortable with her staying at our home. We would absolutely have her watch our dogs again! 🐶”


“Melanie was great with my two dogs and cat! She gave them all the attention they needed!! lots of love, time, attention and play! They were her top priority for the whole week! She also sent pics and updates.”


“Great cat sitting service from Emma, she stayed in our home with our multiple cats. They were happy and content when we got home, and the house was clean and fresh in tip top shape!”


About: I have dedicated 20 plus years to doing what is best for the animals in my life and in my care. Not only are my animals treated as if they were my children, but your animals will be treated with the same love and respect. My house is currently filled with love in the form of 2 dogs, 3 birds, and 1 cat. Outdoor fenced in play area! Indoor lounge 1,000sq ft! 24/7 water available! Discounts available for well behaved dogs! When your pet is with me, be reassured they are well cared for and loved. My home resides in a residential neighborhood sitting in over 2 acres, and is a 4 level house where the animals are free to roam the whole house, as well as a fenced in yard in the back, so the animals have plenty of room to run around. Within the house there is water available 24/7, pet beds to lounge on, toys to play with, along with that when in my care the animals are allowed on the beds and furniture, unless your rules do not allow that, and in that case those rules will also be enforced with your pet(s) while in my care. My home also includes a “safe room” which means it is a room specifically for entering and exiting the home through the front of the house which is not fenced in, which this ensures no escaping by any of the animals. This room also allows the new first time friends to meet the current friends in my care safely. In the end I thank you for trusting me with the care of your pets and I can’t wait for them to become a new forever friend in my house. --------Disclaimer---------- Brunell Pet Services (Brunell Enterprises LLC) -We do provide our customers 25,000$ coverage accident/injury coverage for a deductible of 100$ Rates provided on the Rover Platform are Tax inclusive. We are a dedicated pet care provider, meaning we have staffing 24/7 in our home and in the field! From boarding to dog training and dog walks we are here for you and your pets!

“Amazing with our energetic doggie! Was very easy to communicate with her! She takes care of your animals as if they were hers! Very responsible and respectful! Will be using her services again!”

“Christine did a fabulous job taking care of our dog! She sent a message and photo each day we were gone. We have a dog who has many fears, particularly concerning storms and loud noises. In addition, we had just lost our older dog whom Freckles looked up to for guidance and support. We were thrilled that Christine was able to help our dog stay calm through a thunderstorm and brainstormed ways to keep her manage the fear. Our dog was still very sad about losing her sister and Christine was very empathetic, keeping her company. We highly recommend her as a dog sitter and would be happy to use her again.”
