“Rachel is our go to for a reason! She is the best of the best and is so easy going and makes us being away from our dogs easy and worry free!”

About: What sets me apart is the level of care, attention, and communication I provide to every pet I watch. As the owner of two French Bulldogs who require medications and specialized care, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and follow routines exactly as instructed. I pay close attention to details, follow care instructions to the letter, and genuinely treat every pet like they’re part of my family. Friends and family constantly joke that in their next life they want to come back as one of my dogs because of how loved and spoiled they are. I also have a close personal friend who is a vet tech available to me anytime for added peace of mind, allowing me to provide an extra layer of attentiveness and support while caring for your pets. Pets are a huge part of my daily life and routine, and honestly, I couldn’t imagine life without them. My dogs aren’t just pets to me they’re family, companions, and the best part of my day besides my wife. My routine naturally revolves around making sure they’re happy, healthy, comfortable, and loved, from walks and playtime to cuddles and maintaining consistent schedules. I work remotely, which makes scheduling flexible and allows me to provide dependable care, consistent attention, and timely visits throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and giving them affection, companionship, and one-on-one attention, which is why caring for pets feels so natural to me. I truly believe dogs are some of the best humans we’ll ever meet, and every pet I care for will be treated with the same patience, love, and attention I give my own. I provide attentive, loving care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they feel safest and most relaxed. As the owner of two French Bulldogs who require medications and specialized care, I understand how important routines, patience, and attention to detail are when caring for someone’s pets. I follow all instructions exactly as provided, from feeding schedules and medications to walks, playtime, and household routines, ensuring your pets experience as little disruption as possible while you’re away. I treat every pet like family, giving them plenty of affection, supervision, and one-on-one attention — which is why friends and family often joke that in their next life they want to come back as one of my dogs. You’ll also receive regular photo and video updates for peace of mind, and I have a close personal friend who is a vet tech available anytime should I ever need additional guidance or support while caring for your pets.

About: I grew up with a wide variety of pets my whole life: dogs, ducks, chickens, and even a hedgehog! My love for dogs in particular is strong and rooted in my families history of owning them since I was a baby! We have dogs from all ages in our house- from senior dogs to just puppies, I am comfortable caring for any age and any breed! I work from home with very flexible hours so I am able to care for my pets diligently everyday without worry of potentially conflicting scheduling. My care typically involves feeding them, grooming them if needed, giving them their medication if necessary, play time whether that involves going on walks/runs, enrichment time, or practicing basic commands.

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages. I love going above and beyond for your pets! I will play with them, take them for walks, and do whatever best fits their needs and usual routine. I’m a teacher, so I’m currently on summer break. I’m very available and flexible with whatever your need is. I can change my routine to fit yours! I will follow all directions given to me regarding the care of your pet. I want to make them and you as comfortable and happy as possible!

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life, so caring for them is second nature to me! From bouncy puppies who need patience and consistency to sweet senior pups who enjoy a slower pace, I love them all. I’m happy to help with basic training, stick to routines, and make sure every pet gets plenty of love, attention, and tail wags while you’re away I’m in school, but I make plenty of time for pets! I can fit walks, playtime, and care into my daily and weekly schedule, so every pet gets attention, love, and fun while I balance school. I keep pets safe, happy, and comfy wherever they are! In your home, I follow your instructions and make sure they have food, water, and lots of love. In my home, I create a cozy, pet-friendly space with plenty of supervision, cuddles, and fun so every pet feels safe and cared for

About: I've had dogs my entire life; have helped walk, feed, and bath dogs of all sizes and breeds since I was 13. I currently have 2 dogs of my own. I currently work flexible jobs that allow me to be free during the day and evening hours to help take care of your animals. I am available to drop in and take your dog on a walk, or give your dog a bath if needed while I'm there. I will follow your instructions on how to best care for your dog while I am with them. I can easily help you out by playing with your dog to get them some exercise.

About: I have a very flexible schedule and I'm happy to be there for walks and potty breaks or house and pet sitting as-needed. Minnesota native. I look forward to hearing from you. I have a small dog of my own and I take her for walks as needed, although she has severe arthritis and needs daily medication and monitoring. I am accustomed to letting her out to go to the bathroom at least every 4-5 hours. She is my pride and joy, and I'll ensure your canine family member is treated with equal care. I also care for my mother's large dogs often and grew up with larger breeds. There are 3 dogs in my household already, so boarding your dog at my residence may be a challenge, but I have done it before with enough time for a couple meet and greets beforehand. I am more than willing to come to you for your overnight needs or for daily walks and playdates.

About: I have lived with cats since I was 14 years old and have looked after cats and dogs independently since I was 16. I am comfortable with administering medications from my time working at Grand Avenue Veterinary Clinic. I typically work a week day that leaves me away from the house from the hours of 7am to 7pm. Please consider this when determining if I would be a good option for caring for your furry family! As I will be in your and your pets home, making sure everyone is comfortable with me in the space! My goal is to make your pet as comfortable as possible while you are away. If you have any specific concerns about going on walks or interacting with other humans and pets please let me know so I can abide by what works best for your family. I have been trained on how to pill animals who are nervous about medication to ensure that your pet recieves their medication and remains safe and supported in the process. If you should ask me to take care of your home I make sure to grab the mail daily and follow the motto of leave it better than you found it! I want to have you to come home to a clean house.

About: I'm an artist and designer living in Stillwater. I work full time for myself, so have a flexible schedule. I also am a must love dogs kinda gal, my past dog was a reactive / high energy and needed at least 5 miles a day of walking, we got our current dog, Gordy, as a puppy and he is a significantly lazier guy and would rather lounge on the couch all day. I'd love to find some dogs who need more walking and need to burn some energy. I'm very patient and have experience with puppy's, shy dogs, reactive dogs, and high energy breeds. I work full time for myself but have an extremely flexible schedule, so could make nearly any time work. I'm available each day from 7am-10pm. We walk our dog twice daily and make sure he gets in a good game of fetch. I love to go for hikes and adventures, also happy to just do a long winding walk through a neighborhood. Happy to adjust to whatever your dog needs. I have a lot of experience with high energy breeds and it's my favorite activity to wear them out. My last dog (who passed a few years ago) was reactive, so I have a lot of experience with how to navigate // work with dogs who need a little extra attention.

“Joel provided an amazing drop-in service for us twice daily for 6 days for our 4 senior Dachshunds. He communicated with us each time he stopped by and sent pictures of the pups eating, getting some outdoor play time and settling down for naps until his next visit. They truly bonded with him because he gave them the kind of attention they crave—food, belly rubs and back scratches. One of the pups is blind and he helped her up and down the steps to walk in the grass. We could enjoy our trip knowing our pups were getting great care and attention while their needs were being met. Very satisfied with the job Joel did for us!!”

“Jimena was available on short notice and took great care of my two pups! Highly recommend and will be using her services again!”

About: I have experience with dogs of all ages I have had puppies and elderly dogs! I also have experience with administering medications and sick animals. I am available any time after 11am on Tuesdays, I also have a flexible work schedule that allows me to walk or visit your dog at almost any time! When in a client home I like to make sure the dog stays in their routine they have so that they can remain stress free, for each dog I like to make sure they get the correct amount of exercise for their age and energy level!

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life and regularly help neighbors, friends, and family with pet sitting and drop-in visits. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, administering basic medications, and caring for both energetic puppies and senior pets. I treat every animal like my own and prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication with owners. I work full-time but maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate daily drop-ins, walks, and overnight care when needed. Pet care is built into my routine — caring for my own animals is the first and last part of every day. I prioritize reliability and consistency, and I communicate clearly about availability. My home has a fully fenced yard with plenty of secure space for supervised outdoor play. Inside, I have hardwood floors and an open layout with room for pets to relax comfortably. I have two crates available if needed and maintain structured areas for feeding, water, rest, and play. Safety, supervision, and routine are my top priorities, and I ensure pets are monitored and comfortable at all times.

About: I have never not had a dog…or multiple!😊 I’ve grown up with Labrador Retrievers. With that being said, I can handle the chewing, the energy, the hours of stimulation, and the endless snuggles! I have raised multiple puppies into adulthood, with two currently being my own! From potty training to tricks, to walking on a leash, I have done it all! I also have had family dogs that’s we have had until 12-14 years old that have required special needs due to age. I am a nurse who once wanted to become a vet so I am super flexible from an experience standpoint!😊 I am a night shift nurse who works just a couple days a week! With that being said, my schedule is flexible and I’m almost always home! We are extremely active people who go on multiple walks a day, and I typically run a couple miles a week as well! Weather permitting, we are outside 95% of the time. My dogs are always enjoying the sun on our large deck that overlooks our woods, outside running in the woods, or playing fetch in the yard. We have 2 young and friendly labradors who love to play and meet new friends! We own 2 acres, half of it being woods with trails! This would be for the guests who have a great recall or have halo collars😊 For the ones who struggle a little more with recall, we have a 3 car garage with a doggy door to go in and out of a fenced in area (in pictures)! Also a large deck to catch some rays on, as well as plenty and plenty of walks! I want your pup(s) to feel as comfortable as possible and never want to leave😊 I am extremely flexible and want to stick to their routine as much as possible!

About: Being a dog owner is one of the most rewarding experiences to me! I enjoy the love, passion, and intelligence they have. I also understand it can be a lot of work especially when life gets busy, or sometimes you just need someone to stop in and check on them while you are out of town. I am happy to help with a variety of needs! 🙂 I currently work full time with a reasonably flexible schedule! Availability will open up more in a couple of months. Let me know what you are looking for! I completed The Ultimate Canine Communication Masterclass by Larry Krohn, and working on a couple other courses with the intention of eventually getting certified in dog training. A lot of what I learned in those courses relate to proper equipment, dog behaviors and body language, communication, and foundation. Which all play in a role in caring for and keeping your pet safe and having fun!

“Jamie is absolutely amazing. She really cares and you can tell. Conan (Vizsla - 5yrs old) fell in love with her the minute they met! And he was such a happy and tired boy when I returned home. Thank you Jamie for taking such good care of my baby!”
