About: Hi! I have always had a pup in my life, and I couldn’t imagine it any other way! I have a 3 year old Mini Australian Shepherd named Basil. I am always taking him to play frisbee, swim, go for long walks, and adventure around different lakes etc,. If your pup would love a friend to play with, I could bring him, or leave him at home :) He is my best friend, and so I understand it might take a lot to trust someone with your pup. I am a registered nurse at Children's Hospital, but I only work 2-3 12 hour shifts a week! This allows me to have a lot of free time to take care of my dog, and yours! I have a wooded back yard with lots of grass and space to throw a frisbee, ball, or play! There are a lot of walking trails near me as well:)

“Valerie took Kodak on some adventures this week! She’s so flexible and willing to try new things to keep our puppy entertained and happy. She took him swimming at a lake and some public lands for new scenery. Valerie is proactive and super informed about our pets needs and health. Kodak loves hanging with her :)”


“Leann was great! Our pup had surgery and she was extra cautious with him. Asked questions. She truly cares and was a great help for us! Thank you! Highly recommend her and she'll be my first request in the future!!”

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 6-10pm. 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.
About: I’ve spent years caring for my own pets, ensuring they’re happy and healthy. I’ve looked after my grandma's cat multiple times and other puppies and kitties for friends. I stand out from other sitters because of my deep passion for animals and my hands-on experience. I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats, and I take the time to understand each pet's unique needs. I love to give extensive play-times when possible, and lots of pets! Whether it’s administering medication for senior pets or providing a nurturing environment for lonely kitties, I’m committed to giving your furry friends the best care possible. I'm currently working part-time as well as attending university, so my schedule may be busy, but I am more than willing to work around it to accommodate for proper pet care. My Sundays are always open and Fridays are usually open as well. Let's work something out! I live in a safe, well-secured apartment complex beside a golf course, so plenty of room to give walks if needed. I also have two kitties with separate rooms, based on if your furry friend needs company or just some alone time! I am committed to ensuring that every pet is happy and healthy and feels safe in its environment.

I work from home so rest assured your animals will have me around for most of if not all hours of the day. Working remotely provides flexibility to accommodate all schedules! By me coming to you, it helps keep your animals more comfortable in their own space. If I am not available for house sitting during the dates you are looking for we could certainly chat about drop in options. I follow your routine! Walks, bed times, feedings, etc I try to make your dogs routine as normal as possible as to not create stress while you're gone. I do my best to stay in contact every day with photo/video updates as this is what I would hope for if someone else was caring for my dog.

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!

About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and abilities through volunteering and pet sitting. While I’ve only formally trained my own dogs, I’ve gained plenty of real-world knowledge by working with everything from energetic puppies to sweet senior pups who need a gentler touch. I'm patient, reliable, and genuinely passionate about making pets feel loved, safe, and happy while their humans are away. Whether it's a long walk, some playtime, or just quiet cuddles, I tailor my care to each pet’s needs—because every animal deserves to feel at home, even when they’re not! I work full time but fully remote from my home office so I am available for morning, lunch, or after work walks or feeds when you are rushing to get to work or travel. I typically do not care for pets in my own home as my dog is picky about which dogs are around and I don't want to put anyone at risk. I am happy to come to you!
