“Adrianne and her family have been a safe haven for my dog, Shaggy! First of all, I appreciated Adrianne’s meet and greet where we got to know each other briefly, talked about the expectations. Adrianne went above and beyond to accommodate Shaggy. She made my day by sending his pictures from morning till night 2-3 times a day:) it felt like I stayed connected with my dog and ensured he was happy and cared. Because of an inconvenience I personally experienced, I had to extend Shaggy’s visit one more day. She was very kind and understanding about the situation. We were able to extend the stay one more day. So long story short, she was amazing! I hope I can meet people like Adrienne when I move to Minneapolis because she is a really caring and kind pet lover and very friendly and kind person!”
“Hilary and her family did an awesome job caring for Oakley this week. She stayed in contact and sent pictures while we were gone! I would definitely recommend her and would book with her again in the future!”
“Steve was an absolute wonderful sitter for my guide Dog Sean. He paid attention to all details and information that was given. He also gave information and feedback on walks and he provided pictures of what he was doing with Sean”
“Sarah was a great fit for Duke. I had to leave town for a funeral so short notice and she was very accommodating. She kept me updated with how Duke was doing through my trip. I would recommend her for everyone to use.”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 6 years old, and love going on walks and spending quality with pups. Over the years, I’ve pet sat for both young puppies and sweet senior dogs who need a little extra TLC. My goal is to make sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I'm currently home full-time, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pup all of the love and care they need! While I don’t have a fenced yard, all outdoor time is supervised - either on walks or a secure lead. I will follow your pet’s routine for feeding, walks, play, and rest, making sure they are safe, happy, and loved. Whether at my home or yours, I treat every pet like family and keep you updated throughout the stay!
“Absolutely would book again. Had a last minute booking and John was very open and understanding. John kept us updated and sent some great pics of the pups. John made our dogs feel welcomed and at home while we were gone and I'd honestly give him 10 stars for this experience if I could.”
“Virginia met us at a local park so we could introduce our shepherd to her before her stay. We talked for almost an hour.... it was wonderful and Virginia is amazing with people as well as dogs. She sent us pictures of our Maggie while we were away to keep us updated on how she was doing. I definitely would use Virginia again in the future and recommend her to anyone needing a loving caretaker for their pet when they are away.”
About: I come from a large, dog friendly family where we prioritize our furry family’s health and happiness. I have owned XXL dogs and XXS dogs and have rescued many in need! I have successfully potty trained multiple puppies and adult dogs. I am a stay at home mom so there will always be supervision! I have a 3 year old and a 12 year old who knows the importance of being gentle with your pets. My 12 year old also enjoys training pups with my help! I have a 6 foot fully fenced in yard and 2 rescue dogs to keep your pups company. I have space for a few crates for overnight stays. I also use non toxic cleaning supplies and I’m well educated on toxic foods and plants. We exercise full caution to keep your dogs safe!
About: I’ve been a dog owner and foster parent my whole life. I’ve trained and owned all kinds of dogs from Jack Russels and Pomeranians to Great Danes and Golden Doodles. The relationships I build with dogs are enriching and rewarding. The innocence and desire to just be themselves is what I love about animals. I treat my new dog friends like family and I believe they prosper in a relationship that promotes their inner dog as well as setting boundaries that help the human/canine relationship prosper. I embrace the belief of calm assertive dominance and find it that dogs seem to find peace in me being in that role. I am a stay at home parent whose availability is an asset that I utilize for the sake of the animals I care for. I hope to one day befriend your best friend. I’m a stay at home father of 10 and 12 yr old boys. I raise 2 dogs, 2 cats, and 24 chickens. I have lots of flexibility to ensure the care needed for you pet. I love to spend time with animals in the environment they feel most comfortable. With my flexible schedule and the abundance of land on my property and in my locale, I know I can fit the needs of your furry friend.
About: What sets me apart is the calm, family-oriented environment I provide and my flexible schedule. I’m home often, so pets get lots of attention and aren’t left alone for long. I’m patient, gentle, and good at reading animal behavior—especially with shy or high-energy dogs. I’ve cared for puppies and dogs with strong personalities, so I know how to stay calm and consistent. Plus, my kids love animals and are always respectful and supervised around them, which creates a loving and interactive space for your pet. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. Since I work part-time and have a flexible schedule, I’m home often and able to give dogs plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m used to planning my day around the needs of the pets I care for—whether that means regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or just making sure they’re comfortable and not alone for too long. My kids are also a big help with giving lots of love and gentle affection. Our home is a calm, safe space, and I’m happy to adjust our routine to meet the needs of your pet. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. In my home, they get plenty of attention, playtime, and a kid-friendly environment. I follow their routine closely—meals, walks, and any special needs.
