House Sitting in Otsego

“Jamie was great. My husband and I spent a long day at the MN State Fair, and it was relaxing to know that our dog and cat were being taken care of while we had fun. Will definitely rebook. ?”

“Hayes was phenomenal. I had two dogs that needed sitting for a few days Hayes went over the top. Multiple walks every day, great communication, and sending pics frequently. Very respectful of my condo. Would use again in a heartbeat and highly recommend.”

“I cannot say enough positive things about Ashley. From the moment she met Mabel, I could tell Mabel was going to be in good hands. Mabel liked her energy and warmed up to her in seconds. Ashley also provided me with regular updates and pictures which was really nice as well. I will be using Ashley again in the future, and will be highly recommending her to friends and family.”

“Annie is excellent! She was so thoughtful about every aspect of taking care of my 16-year old cockapoo and went above + beyond. She was very responsive and always kept me updated with photos of my girl. I knew Maia was well taken care of and in loving hands. I would definitely recommend Annie for your next pet sitter!”

“Shelby was awesome! Dogs were so well taken care of and were calm and relaxed when I got home. She sent updates and pics while she was there with them. Would definitely recommend Shelby!”

“Brenda was punctual, great with our dogs. They were well taken care of.”

“Cady was very reliable, respectful and accommodating. She’s also an avid pet lover! I will be booking with her again in the future. Thanks, Cady!!”

“Heather did a great job watching my senior pup with special needs!”

“Tami and Eric Thoreson have had their own dogs, cats and various pets ever since their were married in 1984. I personally would have them take care of my dogs if I needed a sitter. Tami walked her dogs every day regardless of the weather. Our cold MN winters were not deterrent. They are respectful and responsible pet owners. You can rest assured your dog will be taken well care of.”

“Emma was on time for our meet and greet and on the day she cared for our dog. She listened to and followed all instructions, asked appropriate questions, and took excellent care of our dog at our home. Next time I need a dog-sitter I will contact Emma first.”

“Marsha took care of my 16 year old Havapoo who needs some extra care and meds for a week and did an excellent job. She kept me informed and sent pictures and made me feel at ease about leaving her. I didn’t have to worry and knew she was being well cared for. I would highly recommend her for anyone needing pet care.”

About: Hi friends! Thanks for stopping by! let me introduce myself. My name is Julie Smith. We are transplants to Minnesota. My husband and I are both Air Force brats, so we grew up all over the world. My childhood dog (Rok-e) was adopted from south Korea when I was 9. He was a very loved, purebred lab. We said goodbye to him when I was 21, a few months before my husband and I got married. We do not have any animals of our own but we love to care of other's animals. Our kids enjoy having responsibilities with the dogs such as getting them water and helping to feed them. In our home, your dog will have lots of space to run and play. They will get lots of pets and love from us and our kids. A typical day in our house goes as follows: Wake up between 6 and 630. Breakfast by 730 Morning exercises (walking the dog, go to the park, etc.) Preschool drop off - happy to take the dog with me, if they do okay in the car. Lunch/quiet time Play time (outside, unless it is way too cold)/walk and potty break) Training/skill building for the kids and the dog Dinner Evening walk/exercise Quiet time 7/730 Bed time for adults around 10 We have a large, fully fenced yard (3/4 of it is a tall privacy fence and the back of it is 4 ft chain link fence with a large field behind our house). We have 3 kids who will help spoil and play with your fur baby. We will take your dog on walks (rain or shine) and help their social skills being around children. There are no other animals in the house.

“Renee did a great job caring for Charlie & George”

“Rachel was great with our German shepherd! Amazing!”

About: I've taken care of animals all my life. I am very time-oriented and very meticulous. My friends always come to me to take care of their animals while away because they know their pets' schedules and lifestyles won't change. I currently work full time and, while I'm not home during the weekdays, my partner is a Rover sitter, too)! She works from home so your pet will never be left alone. Whatever you need I can do. I won't introduce or take away anything that isn't normal to your animal. I believe consistency is key and creates a familiar environment for your pet.

“If you want to hire people who advocate, care, and are thoughtful about animals, Jane is number 1. She is intelligent and considerate with animals to an advanced degree. She once stopped on the road to recover an injured coyote and, amazingly, was able to remove it from further danger and get it to a sanctuary till it recovered. They let her release it after it healed. She also raised an orphan squirrel and has had and cared for many beloved animals all her life. Jane is decidedly good to animals at every turn.”

“Allison did a wonderful job taking care of our best bud. She was very communicative, understood and listened to our quirky tips and loved him like her own. Definitely recommend and and will definitely reach out again!”

“Thank you for taking great care of Nikko and Lucy. This was the 1st time we have used a pet sitter and we felt very comfortable leaving them in your care. You also left our home neat and tidy. We plan to hire you for future pet sitting needs.”

“Becca watched our 15 lbs pomeranian. She was very attentive and is very sweet. I would highly recommend her.”

“Rayna has had multiple pets in her home, including both small and large dogs, as well as cats. Rayna grew up around cats, and has always loved them dearly. When I was hospitalized for a week, she cared for my 2 cats in my home, including administering oral medication (pills) to one of my cats twice daily. She learned the joys of dog companionship early in her adult life while married to a dog lover and having a dog as a pet for her children. She currently has both a dog and a cat as pets in her home.”
