“Danielle was great to work with while my wife and I were away. She met us ahead of time, got to know the dogs, and was always responsive. Danielle spent time with the dogs, gave them walks, and fed them on schedule, and always shared pictures. We'll look forward to hiring her again.”

“Angela took amazing care of our cats. They were much calmer when we arrived home, much better than they have been in the past. She was great at communicating and keeping us updated. We will use her the next time we go out of town.”

“Andrea was great! Took great notes at our first meeting, carefully followed the instructions and was extremely prompt. Hope to have her sit for our kitty again in the future! Thanks Andrea!”

“Watson and Cordelia were happy and well taken care of when I got home. Appreciated the photos and gentle care provided by Hound on his first visit! Very pleased. Thank you!!”

“Lindsey always does a wonderful job for our 2 cats and turtle. We have one very lovey cat and another scaredy cat. She gives as much love and space as they each need. Then, she always does some playing with our turtle to keep him active. We love her and recommend her when we hear someone needs a pet sitter.”

“Callie is great! She checked in with our dogs precisely on time and left great notes + photos. The dogs love her. One of our dogs is diabetic - Callie was experienced with observing signs of glucose inbalance and administering insulin. We recommend Callie and will request her service in the future.”

“We asked Mia to drop-in last minute due to our regular walker having to cancel and she was very accommodating and quick to help! Would consider Mia for a regular walker if we needed it!”

About: I have taken care of all different kinds of dogs for the past 2 years. I worked at a doggie daycare and boarding for dogs and cats. So I have experience with all kinds cats and animals.

I’ll be able to look after your dog at your place and make sure they feel comfortable. I’ll be able to let them out multiple times through out the day as well
“Mara was a kind and reliable sitter for my kitties, and even my shy boy trusted her right away. One thing I really appreciated was her flexibility when I asked if we could schedule an additional drop-in as I hadn’t seen one of my cats on the camera - She was able to do it same day and update me, which really gave me peace of mind.”

About: Hello! My name is Griffin and I'm 20 years old. I have owned dogs my entire life and I have two living with me along side a cat! I currently work at The Family Fido just outside of Stewartville. During my time there, I have worked with many different breeds and sizes of dogs while supervising group play! Not all of the dogs that stay with us are dog friendly so I have worked with solo dogs too! The Family Fido is a boarding/daycare/rescue facility so as part of my job I take care of feeding and medications. Since I started, we have had 5 litters of puppies that I have helped to raise before they have been adopted out to families. I have learned a lot of training skills and I will be attending dog conferences in the future to build my experience even more! Working at a boarding and rescue facility I work with dogs daily and for hours at a time. I own two dogs as well that I work with around the house daily! I am able to do walks, feeding, bathing, nail trims, play, and continue any training that your dog may currently be working on! I am also open to working with anxious or less confident dogs as well as handling more than one dog at a time!

“Andrea is consistently reliable and great with my cats! She’s easy to get in touch with and easily adaptable if plans change and I need her to switch around the days she visits. I recommend her!”
“Loryn is a lifesaver and checked on my pup, Fiona, during a weekend and I could immediately tell that she loves dogs! She sent timely and adorable updates on my pup and I felt very at ease that Fiona was in good hands, will definitely book again!!”

We love Angela and so does our German Shepherd! Angela is very communicative which I love! I know Sasha loves her because when she leaves I get Furbo notifications of Sasha howling at the window watching Angela leave! She only does that for us and a few others. Definitely confirmation of how great she is with pets! Thank you for loving our girl! ❤️

Callie is great! She checked in with our dogs precisely on time and left great notes + photos. The dogs love her. One of our dogs is diabetic - Callie was experienced with observing signs of glucose inbalance and administering insulin. We recommend Callie and will request her service in the future.

Anna was a great pet sitter! She was also incredibly flexible, I accidentally booked the wrong dates (I put May instead of April), and she kindly accommodated the change without any issues. Most importantly, she got along really well with my cat, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I would definitely recommend her!

We’ve used Mia for both overnight stays and drop ins for our dogs. She’s super responsive and has helped us even for last minute care during the day. She’s been great with our dogs and easy to coordinate with. She’s the first person we check with now when we need a dog sitter!

Marie is such a great person, I highly suggest booking with her. This is our first time using outside care, but we definitely needed it for a vacation. Marie made that process so easy and smooth. Sheeba was skeptical at first, but Marie was very persistent, patient and loving that Sheeba warmed up to her with no time. She always updated us with pictures during her visits, and us as a family enjoyed every second of the reassurance that our fur baby was taken care of just like we would. Definitely keeping her around for future needs 🐶❤️

Molly watched our dog while we were out of town over a holiday, and she was wonderful! Our plans came together very last minute, and we really appreciated her flexibility and great communication. She is so sweet and personable, and we felt completely comfortable having her care for our pup. She sent plenty of photos and videos during our trip, which gave us great peace of mind. We would definitely recommend her!
