“Jess was AWESOME. She took such great care of our big boy and gave him all of the love that we'd normally give him. Her daily updates, pictures, and videos made being away from Ray that much easier. I will absolutely book with Jess again! AMAZING!”


About: Born and raised in Germany with beautiful cats of all shapes and sizes. My very first cat was my beloved Minki that was a proud 17 years and deaf in both ears! If that wasn't enough, she also only had three teeth and was rescued from the roads. She taught both my mother and I how to be responsible and how pets ARE family. After Minkis passing, my beloved Imy has entered our hearts. Imy was a strong headed almost human-like boy. He knew how to potty on the human toilet, went on walks with me and accompanied me to my school. He was very protactive of us and very clingy. We unfortunately lost him in 2014. Also his name choice might be surprising, but I was a little girl that thought that pretty kitty must be a girl! Well, the name stuck with us! In 2014 we adopted two pretty twin kittens Pixel and Gray. They are going strong at 11 years old, and live with my mother in Germany. After leaving my life behind in Germany to be with my husband, I was determined to be pet free, no hair, no bills - yay! Until we drove to an appointment on a super cold day and encountered a barely alive kitten - our now baby boy Basil. Basil is the light of our hearts and became a big brother as we adopted Toast just a little over a month ago! I have experience with both female and male cats, disabled, old and young. Both indoor and outdoor cats are familiar to me as I had lived with both at some point. Currently my cats are indoor with occasional cat-walks outside on the leash or when heading out with a cat stroller. My husband has experience with farm cats as he grew up on a farm in Wisconsin. I am a 911 dispatcher and my schedule varies. I work 12 hour shifts and my husband is currently in the process to become a trucker. He will not be over the road, and comes home after his shift. I have several days off due to me working a stretch, but my cats are truly taken care of. We rent a small 2 bedroom house with access to a front and backyard. We live next to neighbors that have a beautiful male ragdoll cat that likes to visit from time to time. I love to clean and am very adament about my cats hygiene as well. Their litter boxes are cleaned up to 4 times a day, they never live in filth, they receive hair care and groom care. Their nails are trimmed regularly, and they receive wet food including dental care. I am also very concious of their safety. Basil tends to be scared of strangers at first, but we own a kitty cam, the cats have plenty of room, with access to all rooms, except basement (as it is not directly accessible through the home). Have window benches, a cat tree, and are allowed to lay wherever they want. The only boundary we have is them being on the kitchen counter.

“We left our border collie Maddie to stay with Erica during a 5 day trip. Erica was super nice and sent us daily updates with photos and videos, and we could tell Maddie had a ton of fun during her stay.”


“Destiny was so great! Fenway is still sleeping after all the play that he got. They went above and beyond with baths, pictures, and play time! Will for sure be contacting again for future care!”


“Alia was amazing with Jean Pierre. She was super attentive and sent pictures fingiam getting along with the other pups. She even helped me find my way home from Wisconsin! Highly recommend.”


“I had a great experience leaving my 2 dogs with Donna. One of my dogs is older and anxious but she took excellent care of him. She has a big yard with plenty of room for the dogs to run and get exercise. I loved that she sent pictures and updates every few days while I was gone. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”


“Elizabeth was wonderful and very accommodating! If we ever are in Red Wing and need boarding we will definitely call Elizabeth! She is a great communicator and sent pictures of our Buster and Teddy!!”



About: I'm a Veterinary Technician with years of experience, along with Animal Care experience. I graduated from the University of Wisconsin River Falls, majoring in Animal Science with an emphasis in companion animals. I grew up on a hobby farm so I've grown up with animals my entire life. I've had life long experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, guinea pigs, and other small critters. I live in a house. There is also a park just blocks away! I live with my boyfriend. I have solid references from many pet parents that I have pet sat for for years. I’m comfortable giving medications if need be to your animals while you’re away so no need to worry about missing their scheduled medicine. I’m willing to travel for work. I don’t mind driving to you for in-home pet sitting so your animal is most comfortable where they are. With many years of personal and professional animal handling experience I am comfortable and confident with administering medications that your animal may need, nail trims, walks, play time, cuddles, or whatever they may need. I will follow your instructions to the best of my abilities.

About: Hello! My name is Tyler. I have been pet sitting for friends and family for several years and have experience with multiple dog and pet households. I am trustworthy, honest and dependable and take pride in being neat and orderly. I have taken care of all breeds from small to large. I have been around dogs my whole life and have experience taking care of them. I look forward to walking your dog and keeping them active. I look forward to talking with you and determining if I will fit you and your pets needs. I’m currently a stay at home mom so I am around all day and able to give your pet the time and energy they deserve! I am able to take your dog on walks to give them exercise however long or short. I can feed your fur baby and play with their favorite toy.

“Michael did great with my two dogs. At our meet and greet, both dogs were instantly comfortable with Michael. Michael sent me pictures and updates each day of the boarding. I plan to use Michael again, and strongly recommend him to watch your dogs!”


About: I’ve had pets all my life and with the experience of a recent litter of puppies, I’m excited to help others in need with dog daycare. I have a full time job but looking to start a new adventure watching dogs on weekends to fulfill my dream of working with animals. I live on 80 acre farm and have a new shed with a few kennels and an outdoor kennel space for an outside play area.

“Sam was absolutely wonderful and a true joy to work with. She was easy to communicate with and she will treat your dog like one of the family! We will definitely use her again.”

About: I can walk, doggy-sit during evenings and weekends. Prior military knows how difficult it is to trust others to care for your dog. Always a concern of mine when I had to go away for any period of time and so am empathetic to that type of worry and concerns. I can also offer overnights, my home or yours, and negotiable for longer periods. I grew up with dogs so am not intimidated by even the large types, but will need to overnight at your home if the dog is over 40lbs. I have a small female franchie that loves other dogs, cats and people. I work from home most days so can have your dog at my place while you work or are out. My frenchie goes out every 4-5 hours, working from home makes that more convenient. If your dog needs to go out more often it is no problem. My dog is also not allowed to have food constantly, she is fed 3 times a day and sometimes a treat or two, mainly to control her allergies. I have an apartment, the bedroom has carpet but the rest of the apartment does not so I keep my frenchie out of bedroom due to her allergies. If you have a dog with allergies I am familiar with medications and anything else you might need. I have 6 years of experience specific to the bully breed and 10 years or more with other breeds. I prefer that you can drop your dog off with me but can discuss if you need me to pick them up. I also can only take one animal at a time daily.

About: I pet sit my friends & family's pet whenever they need someone to take care of their fur babies! I love making new pet buddies, and want to ensure they are as happy as can be. I work from home so your baby will get non stop attention. My days start early, so drop off and pick up times are pretty flexible. I have a large gated backyard that your dog will enjoy. I spend lots of time outside, so all dogs will get plenty outdoor time. Being that my dogs are small I will only be caring for other small dogs. I look forward to welcoming and caring for your sweet one too.

About: I grew up having dogs and cats. I have had small and large breed dogs, I love the joy and loyalty that an animal can bring to a home. I currently have 2 dogs, Lily, a 5 year old Australian shepherd, and Sprocket, 9 year old schnauzer-Pomeranian male. My dogs love to play and make new friends, I understand how hard it gets to find reliable care for your pets when you want to go on vacation or something else is going on, I’d be more than happy to help you out when needed! I’m currently working full time but I’m always open on weekends. My schedule is very flexible so don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. We have a fenced in backyard, we'll always use a leash if we go on walks with your dogs. We have cameras in our home as well.

About: I have grown up taking care of Chow Chows! Friends and neighbors have also counted on me to look after there pets. Let me know if I can help you out as well! I'm currently working a part-time job so I have plenty of available time to look after your pets! My job depends on the weather but regardless I'll do my best to fit your schedule. I live in a pet friendly neighborhood with lots of room for excercise! However, depending on your pets personality they can also just lay around a comfortable yard.

About: I have taken care of many different types of animals from dogs and cats to even farm animals since before I can even remember! Neighbors, friends and family have trusted me to care for their animals while on vacation, or even just when they have a long day at work! I’m a local pre school and work everyday with Tuesdays and my weekends off! Depending on location I am able to stop back over on my breaks! I love being outside and spending time with animals such as going for walks or even just sitting outside enjoying the sunshine! I have no problem following any special requests that may be needed for you and your pets!

Mel B.
“My daughter and I have been living alone in Germany and I only had a dog before. In 1999 I found an eldery cat on the street that ended up being quite disabled. My daughter only being a toddler at the time befriended the cat like it was nothing. She was our loyal cat until she passes peacefully in 2004. Ever since she was a little girl she was surrounded by cats, rats and mice.”

Michael O.
“Michael has always taken care of our dogs before Rover came to be. He never received money from us because he enjoyed being around our dogs so much. Our dogs always would wait to see him in the morning and evening when he would come to walk our dogs. Michael always had a caring, responsible, love for our dogs, and I know our dogs knew it too. Sadly, our dogs have past, but when we run into Michael he always brings up so many loving memories of them.”
