“Our dog, Leo, did great in their care. He had some good friends to play with and lots of walks. I appreciated their level of communication. We will definitely take Leo there again.”

About: Reliable Walks and Attentive Care for Your Dog I provide structured walks and dependable, patient care tailored completely to your dog’s natural pace, routine, and energy level. Whether your dog needs an active neighborhood workout or a gentle, slow-paced potty break, I focus entirely on keeping them safe and happy. • Structured Neighborhood Walks: I keep dogs securely leashed, alert, and focused during walks, ensuring they get the proper exercise and fresh air they need while strictly following your preferred routes and handling rules. • Patience with All Energies: I am equally comfortable handling high-energy dogs that love to stay moving and older, senior dogs that require a slower, gentler pace with zero rushing. • Consistent Routine Enforcement: I follow your exact feeding instructions, gate protocols, and behavioral boundaries down to the letter so your dog's daily structure remains perfectly intact while you are away. Whether you need a reliable daily dog walker or a trusted sitter for drop-in visits, I provide the focused attention and dependable care your dog deserves. I am currently providing pet care full-time, which means I have completely open availability and a highly flexible schedule. Because I don't have traditional office hours or commuting conflicts, your pets will be my primary focus throughout the day, ensuring their exact feeding, walking, and medication routines are never rushed. Caring in My Home (Boarding) • Active and Supervised Yard Time: While my yard is not fenced, I have a small yard setup that allows for secure tie-out lines under my constant, direct supervision. I never leave animals outside unattended. • Excellent Local Mobility: I have a reliable car equipped for safe pet transportation, allowing me to easily take your dog to the best local dog parks in the area for structured socialization and play. • Highly Walkable Neighborhood: I live in a very quiet, walkable neighborhood that is perfect for long, scenic on-leash walks. Your dog will get plenty of outdoor exercise and mental stimulation right outside my door. • Secure Indoor Structure: My home environment is kept secure, quiet, and highly organized to ensure that guest animals—whether dogs, cats, or reptiles—have their own designated, stress-free spaces to relax. Caring in Your Home (House Sitting & Drop-In Visits) • Strict Routine Adherence: I follow your exact household instructions, locking procedures, and gate setups down to the letter to ensure your home remains safe and secure while you are away. • Objective Daily Updates: I send quick, factual text updates and photos after every visit so you know exactly when your pet was fed, walked, or given their specific medication. • Absolute Respect for Your Space: I maintain clean professional boundaries, leaving your home exactly how I found it and focusing 100% of my time on keeping your pets comfortable, safe, and happy in their familiar surroundings.

“My pups were happy and not stressed after a week with Elizabeth. I appreciated the updates. My first experience with Rover and Elizabeth and I couldn't be happier!”

“Jennifer did a wonderful job watching our little dog. Her family is so nice and friendly. Next time we need to leave our pup in the FM area (we are from the Twin Cities) we will be looking forward to using Jennifer’s services!”

“Callan did a great job taking care of cat. She sent pictures and a video of my cat during the time of care. Callen's address in the app was wrong, so I had to ask Callen for the correct address for her home.”

“Hayden was very friendly and fast to reply. I definitely appreciated him watching my 2 dogs while I was away. My dogs seemed very happy and tired when I picked them up. I would definitely book him again.”

About: Your Dog’s Home Away From Home 🐾 Dogs have been part of my life for more than 31 years, and I’ve always had a soft spot for Yorkies. I’ve also had a German Shepherd and Border Collies, so I’m comfortable with everything from tiny personalities to high-energy working breeds. In addition to my pre-teen and teenager, my current pack keeps me on my toes: 🐶 13-year-old Yorkshire Terrier 🐶 10-year-old Australian Shepherd 🐶 1.5-year-old Golden Retriever I’m very comfortable managing different ages, energy levels, exercise needs, personalities, and the occasional doggy quirk. I work primarily from home, so your pup won’t be sitting alone all day. I’m around for potty breaks, playtime, walks, supervision, and plenty of company. My backyard is fully fenced, giving dogs a safe place to stretch their legs and enjoy some off-leash time. Most importantly, I know how much trust goes into leaving your dog with someone else. I’ll treat your pup like a member of the family while they’re here. ❤️🐾 And yes, I’m happy to care for cats, too! I grew up with a cat for 10 years and am comfortable with feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, and keeping your kitty company. I’m happy to stop by for visits and make sure they’re cared for and getting some attention. I am a realtor and primarily work from home. I have plenty of flexibility to let dogs out during the day. When my kids get home from school, the dogs get extra love! The dogs love to play in the backyard. After plenty of playtime and dinner, we like to relax and cuddle with the dogs on the couch while watching TV to wind down before bed. I have a fenced yard and three friendly dogs to keep your dog company. I feed dogs in the morning and at night. I let them out multiple times a day - the Golden loves to play and the Yorkie has a small bladder. I have a large crate if ever necessary.

“Both Annika and Nathan were great with our cat, Jeffrey. From the moment I dropped him off I knew he’d be safe with them and cared for. They were very communicative and responsive, sending multiple photos during his stay in their home. You can tell they truly care about the animals they care for. We highly recommend Annika and Nathan for any of your pet care needs.”

“Thank you for going above and beyond during pickup AND taking my last minute reservation! Many thanks, Ella loved you so much!”

“Taylor's care was simply fantastic. Her own dogs are so gentle and welcoming; you can see that Taylor and her husband are dog lovers. My dog craves exercise, so I was a little hesitant about how she would adjust to staying in an apartment, but I should never have worried! Taylor made sure she had lots of safe, outside, running time at the park! She sent us pictures and updates, and although Sydney was glad to see me, she was also stress-free and obviously well cared for. I recommend Taylor 100%.”

About: I lived on a farm and had all types of animals. I love dogs. Cats are fine, but I love dogs. My wife and I also had parakeets, finches, and cockatiels for a number of years. Since I'm retired, I'm pretty flexible. I like to walk, so taking your dog for a walk would be something I would very much enjoy. When the weather is nice, I enjoy going to dog parks with the dogs. Tell me what you want to do, and I will do it. If there are special needs, i would prefer them in writing. If I think I would not be a good fit, I will tell you. I would expect the same from the client.

“Nelson was phenomenal with Yuri my kitten. Punctual for pick up, communicative and friendly. His space is cozy and perfect for your furry friend. Thank you 😊”

Madeline R.

“Mikala was amazing. We pre-met to see if the dogs would be a good fit for her to board and it went well. During the stay I got all kinds of updates and pictures. They were spoiled with dog park runs every day! And all the love and tuck ins for bed time that our spoiled girl gets at home. Would most definitely recommend and use again!”

About: Hello! I have always had a love for animals especially dogs and cats. I had my own dog, Charlie, who had complex health issues and unfortunately is no longer with me. He made me comfortable with giving medications, insulin/allergy shots, and following instructions with dietary restrictions that I can also provide your pets with when needed. I currently work full time M-F, but my schedule is flexible during the week and most weekends. I have also been employed for over a year with a company in the F/M area providing pet care services in people's homes. I LOVE what I do and always looking for more opportunities to meet new furry friends. My schedule is flexible and I respond quickly to text/phone calls or email when reaching out looking for pet care. I'm able to do morning shifts before I head to my full time job M-F, lunch breaks, and after work. I can often move my schedule around if you need other times throughout the day too. Just ask! Weekends are more open when I am not out of town. I prefer going to the pets home to provide care where they are in a familiar environment. I can provide walks, bring your pet outside to play, clean litter boxes, feed and fill their water, administer medication etc. Boarding in my home can also be provided, as I have a pet and smoke free home and can work with your pets needs to make them feel safe and at home.

About: I previously worked part time at a dog daycare as a dog handler. As a dog handler I’ve gained experience with all types of dogs and puppies such as treatments, feedings, and bathing. I’ve also volunteered at an animal shelter where I got to spend time caring and loving for dogs and even cats. Many of my duties contained walking, cuddling & playing! I have two dogs of my own that I care for full-time named Bucky and Shadow— they love making new fur friends but don't have to tag along on visits. I really love what I do and would love to expand my experience by helping others (hopefully you!) with their furry companions. Please don’t hesitate to reach out as I would love to meet you and your pet. Hope to talk soon! I’m currently enrolled in school, but I still have lots of time to play with your pups! My weekdays are usually pretty flexible and my weekends can be as well. I prefer caring for pets in the clients home as I live in an apartment, but that’s not saying I haven’t cared for a dog with me! It’s no problem as long as the client agrees and I have an allotted time to make the temporary arrangements. I am good with directions and punctuality so rest assured your pet would be in great hands!
