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.

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.

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!

Scott was able to come out on short notice, meeting Sasha the day before. They played outside, then spent some time relaxing indoors, giving me peace of mind while I was out of town. I highly recommend Scott and will be setting up more visits for next week.

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! ❤️

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!

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 🐶❤️

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!
