“AylaJean is wonderful! I had such a great vacation because I didn't have to worry about my kitties' care while we were away. She sent regular updates until we got back and my kittens were happy and healthy when we returned. We'll definitely be hiring this family again for future trips. Thank you so much!”

About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life. I am part of a rescue and have had many fosters throughout my home, along with many dogs myself. I had a special needs basset hound and loved giving him the extra help he needed during his life. I also have experience with puppies, big dogs, blind dogs, and shy/breeder release! I did train my dogs starting at age 12 as well. Open at any time! Walks, potty breaks, petting session and everything in between! I have very few scheduling conflicts. Available almost all day every day :) With compassion and care. I would take care of your pet as it is needed and however you request! I would treat your animal and home as I would mine.

“Jenna was awesome with my dog. Aspyn is timid and needs a calmer environment, which is just what she got with Jenna. I got several text updates with photos so I felt close to our dog even when far away. Highly recommend Jenna!”

“Joy was very attentive to our sweet Sadie girl. She gave her lots of attention and cuddle great one on one attention as well. Took her on walks and also kept us updated on how she was doing and sent super cute pictures. I will definitely use Joy again when we need over night care.”

About: Hello! I am a life long pet lover and healthcare provider. I live on a farm with lots of fresh air and space to run. I can’t wait to meet your pup! Feel free to message me with any questions or to schedule a meet-and-greet. I work part time Tuesday -Friday. Also available for potty breaks during the day. I am mostly on the weekends but could easily make a day during the week work as well. Our yard is not fenced in but we live on a dead end road. Dogs will be leashed while outside and supervised. Pets allowed in house and living room.

About: I have had pets my whole life that have lived in the house. We have dogs, cats, and even a lizard I have taken care of! I was home alone a lot so taking care of my animals is first priority and a habit. I am a college student and working a seasonal job so there is times to for me to show your pet some love and taken care of! I have no pets at our apartment but we do live close to some parks and our backyard has plenty grass to play in! There is room if your pet has to be crated as well!

About: I have 3 animals myself. I have 2 dogs and 1 cat. I have done my own training with my animals. I will do anything for the animals I take care for. They are a best friend to their owners so they should be treated like a person I have a set schedule with my full time job and I’m able to work around my schedule and I’m able to do walks after my job. I will make sure the dogs are able to have a clean living space and make sure they have food and water. Give them loves while their owners are out of the house.

About: I started taking care of colleague's pets in 2006 and regularly cared for 4 households' pets including, a German Shepherd, black lab, poodle, and multiple cats. I also volunteered at the Humane Society in AZ for a few years with the adoptable cats at PetSmart, cleaning their cubbies, litterboxes, and helping with socialization. I continued petsitting after finding an ad on Craigslist for a family in my area and watched their home while they traveled over the summer (for 3 years), taking care of their plants, mail, and two dogs - a husky and a greyhound. I would walk them and feed them twice a day, shop for chicken legs at the owner's request, and administered multiple medications in pill form to the husky. They introduced me to their neighbors and I watched their home when they would travel and fed and cleaned up after their English Bulldog and Yorkie at least two times a day. I also watched a friend's senior dachshund regularly when they went out of town. In Phoenix I housesat for a colleague and her partner on multiple occasions and they had 4 dogs and 2 cats. I would stay the night there to feed and care for the animals and keep an eye on the house. I simply left for work and then went there immediately after. I moved back to MN in 2020. In the fall of 2020, I helped my sister care for a family friend's hobby farm which had goats, sheep, donkeys, cats, dogs, ducks, and chickens. We mucked out the barn every day and hosed out the stable area, let the chickens out in the morning and locked them in the coop at night, fed all of the animals, moved a fence most days for the donkeys and some of the larger animals to roam outside of the regular fenced-in area. I also traveled to Champlin to watch a German shepherd and stayed there while the family went on vacation a few times. Over the Christmas holiday in 2022, I watched a friend's Vizsla/Lab mix who is 11 and took care of things around her house. I fed the pup twice a day and visited midday to take her out and spend time there from anywhere between 30 minutes to a few hours. She would then spend the night with me at my home. I took care of the mail, ran water so the pipes wouldn't freeze, cleaned up after the dog, etc. Watching an animal made me realize how much I missed pet sitting and wanted to start doing it again, so I started helping out whenever I could. Most recently, I have watched a Bernese Mtn Dog, Akita Inu, and 4 cats at one residence and regularly housesit at another when the owner is gone for work on the weekends. I also stayed up in Duluth for a week to watch a friend's home, large lab, and cat. I work in St Peter during the week and am done at noon on Mondays. The rest of the week, I work anywhere between 7:30 am to 5:30 pm. I am able to take long lunches to feed or let animals out midday and my weekends are free. I grew up with cats and now have 2 pets of my own, a Belgian Malinois/Corgi mix puppy, named Marty, and a 4-year-old munchkin cat named Elliot. My soul dog (pug) Bo crossed the rainbow bridge in June 2025. I am available overnights, before and after work. My schedule is 7:30 am to 5:30 pm, with some flexibility. My weekends are wide open for any pet care or home needs. I have a fenced backyard and large home. I would prefer watching animals in your home and caring for them there as they are typically more comfortable but we do have the space if necessary in my home. Walking, feeding, administering medication, assisting with household duties, etc., are all within reason and things I'd be happy to assist with. I have done these things for multiple families and households in my area.

“Gloria is everything you want in a pet sitter! She kept us updated the entire time and took care of our dog as if he was her own. It’s evident how much she cares for animals (her “kids” 🤍). Definitely recommend!”

About: Hi, I’m Kaitlyn! I've been caring for animals of all shapes and sizes for over a decade — from tiny kittens to large breed dogs like my own lovable Cane Corso. Growing up surrounded by cats and dogs sparked a lifelong passion for animals, and I’ve been pet sitting since I was 12 years old. Whether your pet is high-energy or more laid-back, I’m confident in creating a safe, loving, and fun environment tailored to their needs. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’d love to meet your pet and make sure they feel right at home while you’re away! Pet care is a natural part of my daily life! I work a typical 8–5 job Monday through Friday, but I always make time for animals. I have a one-hour lunch break each day, which I use to go home and let my dog out, give him attention, and make sure he’s happy and comfortable. After work, you’ll usually find me walking, playing, or training with him—it’s one of the best parts of my day. On weekends, I’m completely available and fully dedicated to pet care, whether that’s watching over pets in my home or visiting yours. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and well-attended to. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you have. I’m patient, observant, and always respectful of each animal’s unique personality and needs. I also give regular updates so you can feel confident that your pet is in great hands while you're away.

“Christina and Cody were fantastic. This was Zane's first time boarding and they cared for him so well and kept me updated with photos, which I loved! Lovely Family! Will definitely book again!”
