“I just realized I could write a review. Christine is awesome. She is flexible and a true “dog person”. My shepherd can be a bit protective but he loves it when Christine comes and she does exactly what the dog wants which is very comforting when my dog is at home. Christine is worth every penny and then some. I could not recommend her more!”


“Jackie was fantastic with our dogs! We received pictures and updates with each visit, and communication was great. We had a few last minute schedule changes and Jackie was beyond accommodating. I would highly recommend Jackie’s services!”


“Maureen has been taking care of our pets (dogs and cats) for the past couple of years and we are so thankful to have found her! Our fur babies love her and we love that she sends us a bunch of pictures every single visit! We are no longer worried when we are away and look forward to reading her detailed visit cards that include poseable “family photos” and sometimes photos with goofy props! 😂 We couldn’t ask for a better sitter!”

I am also willing to drive to parks and walking areas for pets I’m currently working part time at two different jobs, but I’m free at night to babysit and watch your fur babies! I also work on the weekends, but when I’m not working I spend time with my own fur babies When it comes to taking care of my own pets, I always make sure they have clean water and a clean place to eat their food. As well as cleaning litter boxes every day to make sure the environment is nice and clean for my pets.

About: I have had a genuine love of animals since a young age. During high school I was employed at a local animal boarding/doggie daycare. I have also been relied upon by friends and family to care for their dogs on an ongoing basis. I truly enjoy caring for pets and showing them love while their families are away. I currently don’t have a job. Im pretty open all summer but will be continuing school this fall in St. Cloud as a pre-vet major but can work around my school schedule. I prefer to take care of your dogs in their own home, this will ease any stress for your pets as well as your family. i will take excellent care of your furry family , and always respect your rules and your household.

I work part-time, allowing me to dedicate quality time to caring for pets. I enjoy going for walks, providing companionship, and ensuring they feel happy, safe, and well-cared for. Whether it's playtime or a relaxing stroll, I love making their day better.

About: I have 4 amazing dogs. A senior rat terrier and 3 husky lab mixes raging between the ages of 0-2 years old. I have house trained the 4 of them and they have been taught basic obedience. My senior dog is leash trained, and I’m working with my other dogs on leash training as well. I dog sit for friends and family often over the weekends and whenever they go on holiday. Normally I try to let my dog outside every 2-3 hours for a potty break or when they indicate they need it. My dogs are a huge part of my life and valued family members. I love spending time with dogs and helping them burn off energy and helping them get exercise. Any dog big or small is welcome, and will be treated with the same love and respect as they would be with their family. I am available after 5pm Monday-Friday and more flexible on Saturday and Sunday. Reach out and we can work something out to fit your schedule! I live on a farm off of main roads. I have a big yard with plenty of room to run. Dogs are NEVER left unsupervised outside and I always keep a close eye on them. I have plenty of room if your fur baby is crate trained. If your dog prefers being alone there’s plenty of room in the house to have their own space. My 2 younger are very playful and love having playmates and company. Dogs are always welcome on furniture, my home is their home and I want them to feel at ease!

About: I'm a teacher and an animal lover! I'm great at caring for others. 😄 We have two friendly cats and would love to host some dogs. I'm available most weekends and all summer.

Our animals are part of our family. We hope to meet a few nice families that want their pets to get some extra attention in evenings or weekends.

About: I have some experience taking care of neighborhood dogs and cats, but most of my care experience comes from the animals I grew up with in my own home. I grew up with bigger dogs most of my childhood and even had a cat for a short time! I love all animals, big or small. I am a student who is quite involved on campus. I may have some availability during the day, but mostly in the evenings and on weekends. When at your place, I am comfortable taking your pups on walks, playing with them inside or outside, and doing really anything else they may need. I also love playing with cats or cuddling up with either of your pets on the couch if they just need some affection while you’re away.

About: I’ve raised 3 dogs and 2 cats and loved every second of it! I always appreciate dogs space and attention and I love helping others be able to accomplish things and get things done while they know their dog is still being cared for. I am a Doctor of Chiropractic in Cloquet MN! I work 3 days a week from 8-5 and one day a week from 1-5 but I can come any time after 5. I am free on weekends to pet sit and free on Tuesdays to walk pets! We have pet gates in stairs and all plants/etc are put out of reach of mouths. We have our treats in drawers and we never leave things sit around. We are a clean house and have a variety of products to clean spaces.

“I was very happy to find Megan, she is a true dog lover and takes amazing care of my two dogs. One of my dogs is very anxious and can be difficult to handle but, I have no worries with Megan. She will text over a picture, leave me information on treats that are best for my pets, and cares for each of them the way I would. I never worry about Azi or Ernie when Megan is around. Thank you so much for giving me peace of mind while I'm working.”

She is super responsible and always knows the right thing to do, so if there were any problems with the pets, she would know how to handle it. She has a very loving and caring personality that wants to help every human and animal. Her experience at barking birch pet lodge has taught her how to notice problems and how to give each pet the love they need. She would be a perfect person to take care of your pets.”
