“This is our second time using Kaitlynn. She was great with taking care of our cat. She was responsive and provided daily updates on how he was doing. We will be using her again.”

About: I’ve owned my own dogs all throughout my adult life and raised each of them from puppies. I also helped whelp a litter as well. Currently a full time student so I need loads of distractions. I’ve worked mainly with high energy hunting dogs but I love them all and would love to entertain l! If I am to pet sit at a clients house it would be first a walk right when there to ease my presence in! Some playtime would happen after an hour of tummy rest!
“Amy did an awesome job with our dogs for a drop in visit on short notice. She was prompt and took our pups on a nice long walk while we were gone for the entire day. I really appreciated Amy’s detailed updates and her friendly personality. Highly recommend Amy for any pet sitting needs! Thank you Amy!”

About: I’ve cared for a variety of pets over the years, including dogs of all ages. I have hands-on experience with puppies who need structure and patience, as well as senior dogs who require extra attention, medication, and a gentle touch. Whether it’s going for long walks, playtime, or just providing comfort and companionship, I genuinely love caring for animals and making sure they feel safe and happy. What sets me apart is my attention to detail and calm, caring nature. I treat every pet like they’re my own, taking time to learn their personality. I’m reliable, communicative, and always go the extra mile to make sure both pets and their owners feel comfortable. I fit pet care into my routine during my free time, usually in the mornings and evenings during the week, and more flexible on weekends. I ensure a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment. I build trust through gentle handling, consistent routines, and lots of affection. I follow specific care instructions and prioritize the pet’s comfort and well-being.

I'm currently working full time days; remotely, leaving my availability for pet care and pet sitting open for each! I love being active outdoors on my days off and on my breaks from work; usually walking and enjoying the weather.

Will also bathe animals if it is requested by their owner.

We have boarded and trained multiple horses, as well as raised calfs and chicks. We have many family members and friends we pet sit for.

We are also both home before 7:00am and After 5:00pm. During the weekend our times are generally flexible to fit your needs. We live on 5 acres just outside of Spring Valley Mn. Giving your fur babies plenty of space to run around and play. We met in the Army where I continue to serve in the MN National Guard as a Medic. We currently have two boys that love animals as much as we do. We allow your pets to be uncrated in our home and are more than willing to crate them during the day if that’s what you desire.
