1. Itzayana E.

“Excellent care. Close to Mayo Clinic. I would love to take my dog back.. Itzayana called to say my dog was barking. Our dog looks at us and barks when she’s hungry at home so she tried that. Then she made a quiet place for my dog to sit by her and my dog got more comfortable there. I appreciate the great communication and sensitivity. Itzayana was attentive and kind and sent pictures and updates. Our dog ran with other dogs in her yard. It was a very good experience.”

“10/10 service each time. Can always do what I need to do knowing my fur daughter will be taken care of but also having a blast! She loves the friends she makes while there and also is starting to create a nice bond with the resident dog Zena. (Lovely dog in my opinion). Looking forward to many more doggie daycare visits and possible future services.”


3. Drew M.

“Drew was a great help! My pup looks well cared for! Thanks to you and your family!”


4. Ben & Jennifer B.

“Ben & Jen were very helpful in taking care of my nervous rescue dogs in helping them get socialized. Ben is very patient and I appreciated them letting my dogs come to their home. Ben was responsive in keeping me informed. Ben & Jen both seem super nice!”


5. David P.

“David went above and beyond during my dog's stay with him and far exceeded my expectations! Cooper has some personality quirks and requires some extra modifications for his behaviors. David not only had the background knowledge in understanding dog cues and the value of proper introductions, but he truly took the time to understand Cooper's individual needs. David kept me updated throughout the day, which put me at ease as Cooper was adjusting to a new place with new animals and people. I would highly recommend David to anyone, especially pet parents who's pets require a little extra when it comes to their behavioral needs!”


6. Naomi N.

“Naomi was awesome!! I’m so happy that we met her as we will be using her again - so fun, great with the doggos and I know they’re in good hands. Definitely recommend!”


7. Sara S.
“I highly recommend Sara S. for her exceptional dog walking and dog sitting services. Sara has taken care of our Labrador on multiple occasions, and we couldn't be more pleased with the care and attention she provides. We always have complete peace of mind when leaving our dog in her care, knowing that our dog will be loved, well cared for, and happy while we are away. Sara is incredibly reliable, consistent, responsible, and kind. She goes above and beyond by sending us pictures and updates, which we greatly appreciate. This reassures us that our dog is in excellent hands, and if any questions arise, Sara is quick to provide status updates and address any concerns.”


8. Andria E.

“Andria's family and dog are all very friendly towards my puppy. Nori had a blast there. He got home and fell asleep within 30 minutes, so I didn't have to spend a lot of time playing with him in the evening:) Andria also captured a few great photos of Nori running in the snow with his new friend. Love the photos!”


9. Kirsten M.

“Sydney had a great time with Kirsten! She was happy to arrive and content when we picked her up. We will use Kirsten again.”


10. Cassandra E.

“Cassandra and the kids did a great job watching Millie for her first day care experience. Millie also liked playing with their friendly dog Augie. I received several updates during her stay which gave this nervous puppy mom reassurance.”


11. Morgan D.

“Morgan has always been there for us when we need a sitter for Jax when visiting Mom in the Poconos. She has a warm and welcoming personality and always has him packed and ready for pickup. She even washes his bowl!”


12. Nichole W.

“They were a great family... Viper was happy and excited... I will use them again while I am in town. Even when I come back to visit. If you are looking for a great place that you dog will enjoy this is it. They have a huge back yard which Viper really enjoyed. So if your fur baby loves the outdoors this the the right fit”


13. Devon H.

“My dogs had the best day! I would and will absolutely be booking again!”


14. Amanda & Derrik H.
“She's very nice to all dogs i am never worried when she watches my dog. I don't think i've ever watched her walk past a dog without petting it. One of the nicest people I know.”


15. Sarah R.


“We were in town for a memorial, and needed a sitter for mine and my sister’s dogs - Baxter and Archer. Sarah responded immediately, and we’re so grateful for her and her family! The boys had a wonderful time, and she kept us updated with pictures during their stay. She was so great with them, and I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a loving family to watch their dog(s)! (Archer loves the ball her son gave him to take home!)”


16. Megan I.

“Megan was phenomenal from start to finish. Communication was ultra clear and I know our puppy Micaiah was very well taken care of. She thoroughly enjoyed the company of her 9-month-old black lab. We will definitely be hitting up Megan in the future. Highly recommend!”


17. Pablo S.

“Pablo and his fiancé made Tito’s day awesome! Very friendly and kind. Tired puppy = happy owner!!”


18. Lori B.
About: I am a newly retired nurse and I love animals!! I have a private home with a large back yard. It's not fenced, but I have a dog run. I've had pets for over 40 years. I currently have a Russian Tortoise. Pets are allowed on couches, beds.... It's hard enough when they are not with their family, so I want them to feel as comfortable as possible. I have recently retired from nursing. I coach competitive figure skating in town, but my schedule is very conducive to being able to care for your pet. I coach a coupe hours in the morning and a couple hours late afternoon. Plenty of times for long walks and cuddling! I have a private home with just me. I have door gates and a crate if needed. I will always be one to one when outside. I am use to watching my daughters dog Joey that they adopted during Covid. He's 13 now and keeps me on my toes, which I love!!


19. James T.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals my entire life, from our family pets, to helping lambs on the local farms, to years of work as a veterinary technician, and full circle to teaching my kids these same skills. If you’re looking for an experienced veterinary professional to help look after your furry family while you’re away, you need look no further. I specialize in caring for pets with chronic medical conditions and multiple pet households. I’m based locally in Rochester, MN and cat travel daily multiple times as needed to suit clients needs. I’m currently in a remote work job with very flexible hours and can adjust my day as needed to support you. I come prepared with treats and extra leashes as needed. I drive a reliable wagon that can transport your pup around and take them to their favorite dog park or nature walk.

“Wyatt was super flexible and was able to watch my cat on kinda short notice. My cat came back happy and relaxed. Will definitely be booking with him again!”
