Jessica is amazing with my boys! They adore her and she’s loving and plays with them while keeping them safe! She’s always on time very respectful and highly communicative. I would trust her for walks, and both short and long-term visits

About: I've taken care of dogs from puppies to seniors. I can help with basic training and manners, as well as lots of "walkies" and couch time! Whatever your fur baby prefers, they will be loved by my family and I. I currently work from home, so I am available to your babies 'round the clock. If they need to be let out at specific times or take timely medications, I am available for that as well! I have a fenced yard with a very friendly male, beagle mix to keep your dogs company. I can also crate or separate easily if necessary! I can come to take them for a walk or let them out, no matter the Minnesota weather! I can provide pictures/videos, and updates as often as you'd like. They will be loved by family and I, and treated like one of our pack!

Absolutely hands-down the best service I could’ve ever expected from this whole experience. We took an extended trip over seas and she thought of everything for drop ins on our two fur babies. Her care and consideration of many details speaks volumes for her love for animals but also her high levels of customer service.

About: I’m an extremely compassionate and well informed pet sitter with many years of petsitting experience for friends, family, and neighbors and I’ve owned pets my entire life. I do wildlife rehab for work and care for a variety of pets at home, so I have experience in taking care of most types of pets (birds, reptiles, mammals, etc) and not just dogs and cats. I am loving and empathetic to all living creatures and pets tend to gravitate towards me, so you can relax knowing that your pets are in the best hands I’m currently working random days, typically in the PM, but other than that I don’t have any other obligations. I’m usually only gone for 6-7 hours at a time when I’m working, so I can stop in throughout the day. I’m a homebody, so all my free time will be dedicated to being around and caring for the pets I have experiencing drawing up and administering meds orally and via injection in a professional manner. I can accommodate for any of your pets needs, whether they are elderly, special needs, or have intensive instructions

LeAnn was very friendly and conscientious with our two cats. She came over before we left to meet them, go over the instructions, and understand where everything is and what needed to be done while we were gone. She spent enough time to play with both cats and give them some much-needed attention. We appreciated her pictures and updates on how the cats were doing. Both of them were comfortable with Leann and were very friendly with her. We are very happy with how she did and plan to use Leann again in the future as our primary cat-care person.

About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember — I’ve been caring for pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities since I was a kid. From energetic puppies learning the ropes to sweet senior dogs needing patience and extra care, I understand that every dog is unique and deserves personalized love and attention. I’ve been incredibly blessed to grow up with many dogs throughout my life, which has given me hands-on experience with different temperaments, routines, and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or a calm and comforting environment, I focus on making them feel safe, happy, and at home while you’re away. Your dog will be treated like family — because that’s exactly what they are to me. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I intentionally make time for walks, play, and attentive care. I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable drop-ins, walks, feeding, and companionship while making sure each dog gets the attention, exercise, and consistency they deserve throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding schedules, routines, and any special instructions you provide to keep your dog feeling secure and stress-free. I create a calm, loving environment, monitor behavior closely, and ensure pets are always supervised, safe on walks, and treated with patience, respect, and genuine care — just like family.

About: Between my own family and my wife's, I've had alot of experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes. I've house sat for elderly dogs and raised and trained our own puppy. I've rescued half a dozen lost dogs from our neighborhood. Every dog I meet gets lots of love and yours would be no exception! We already have our miniature poodle pup Winston, so your pup would fit right in with us! I am working from home the vast majority of the time and if I was gone, my wife would be there. As the kid who was always the first to notice when a dog needed to go out and do its business, I'm very attentive to the needs of all dogs. Your pup will be a part of our family during their stay and kept company by my whole family.

We are very thankful for the care Julia provided our cat. Our cat started a new medicine right before our vacation. She did a wonderful job of making sure the med was administered and our cat received the daily care needed while we were away.

Thank you, Andria, for your care-filled visits to Zoe. All the photos and the notes about how she was acting and her interactions with you were very reassuring, as they sounded very much like what I would expect of her. Your concern about the stupid little ants that were invading her food area and your proactive steps to make sure it wasn't affecting her food intake pointed even more to the fact that you had her best interests at the forefront. I appreciate your kindness to my beloved kitty cat.

Kirsten took wonderful care of our cat while we were away for 8 days. She visited twice daily and made sure our cat received her medication each time, mixing it in Churu and confirming she ate it all. She sent pictures and detailed notes after every visit, which gave us great piece of mind while we were away. She was very patient with our cat, who is cautious around new people, and by the end of the visits our cat had clearly warmed up to her. She also went above and beyond by helping triage and clean up unexpected water in our utility room. We felt completely comfortable knowing our cat was in her care and have already booked her again for an upcoming trip. We highly recommend Kirsten to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive sitter.
