About: I have a lot love, care and snacks to give. Your pet will be spoiled rotten. Have had cats and dogs for 17 years. I love all animals. Live by vet clinic, in case you get separation anxiety and worry, i got you. I am on maternity leave now, full-time at home. Needless to say i am up every couple hours during night, and always run around the house during day. Besides that i work from home as well, so your pet would be always with me, with exception of quick grocery store run, or pet walks of course. I have baby gates, if needed to separate your pets from mine in the house. Cat tower. Big open space living room, with comfortable dog-approved couch, blankies, toys, no carpets. Yard is unfenced, so we walk around the block for potty.
“When our normal sitter for our 18 year old dog was unavailable we selected Dayjah to fill in. As our dog is old, we are very protective with him. We spike with Dayjah on the phone first. It was clear that she not only was very knowledgeable about about pet care, but even more important, she loved animals. Our dog did fantastic with Dayjah. Infact, he did not seem to want to leave when we picked him up. Dayjah has my highest recommendation in providing safe and loving care for your pet!”

“Yuliya is such a good sitter. Great communication on dates and pickup times. Toby loves going over and very tired after playing so much. And our family can't wait to see the fun pictures each time!”

“We had Coco stay at Mayumi’s house. She got acclamated to the host and the kids very quickly. Mayumi and the kids were very friendly and helped Coco settle down. Coco seemed to have enjoyed the stay. Mayumi did a great job sending us pictures and videos of her stay constantly which we appreciate very much.”

About: Dogs are lovable and a helping career is fulfilling. By helping humans with their canines I get the best of both worlds! Dogs have always been apart of my life, and recently we had our own 13yo mutt who came as a puppy, had a long full life, and passed away in my husband’s arms. Before that we had another mutt that lived to be 16yo, but she was a pound puppy we got at about 2yo. Also, our dog-niece lived with us for January 2024 while her parents vacationed. I love to love-on peoples’ dogs. Let's chat soon. I have plenty of time to devote to your precious pet, because this is my job and it’s what I do. Your fur baby is much more than an afterthought with me. Your baby is my (temporary) baby, too. We have a 4 foot high chain link fenced yard and a sheltered area beneath our patio stairs. There's lots of room to run and play. The dogs stay downstairs in our finished basement and outside, weather permitting. At your home, just show me the ropes and I will do my best to copy what you do for your dog. Teach me your ways!

About: I love dogs of all kinds. I am very flexible and will take excellent care of your fur friend so you can have a relaxing vacation. I live in the western cities, it’s like the country with a lot of farmland but still close to the city. We have acreage so a lot of space to exercise and play. I have my own dog and children, so your pet must do well with other dogs and children. Your dog will get walks, I can brush them, brush their teeth and clip toenails and spend time by giving them love and affection. I look forward to meeting you and your fur friend. You can relax knowing your fur friend is in good hands. Thank you for your consideration. I work from home, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available for boarding every day of the week. I have 2 acres of unfenced yard so your pet can run and play under constant super vision. I do have 50 foot leads if your pup is easily distracted. My friendly dog will keep your fur baby company, she loves to play.
“Thank you yet again Kyle and family! Our dog Quincy was excited to visit Coco and all of you. He is always so happy when we pick him up. I'm sure our paths will cross again when we come to visit MN. Best wishes and Thank you again for all the times you provided such special care to Quincy!!”

“Julie is the best, very responsive and so way going. She has built a level of trust with us and our dogs. She's reliable, and adjusts to just about everything. I truly feel at ease when she watches them.”
About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. With decades of experience as a pet owner and sitter, I know how to keep tails wagging and owners worry-free. I work from home full-time, so I can be home with your furry friend all day. I can give walks at any time and provide care whenever they need it. Dogs in our home are welcome to roam free if they are house-trained. We allow dogs in all parts of our house. We can set up gates or crates if you prefer your dog to have their own space.

Daily walks, snuggle couch time, vacations, camping, they are with us through it all! It just makes life better! Frequest let outs, timely meals, prompt medication if needed are all necessary for a happy, well adjusted pup. They require constant monitoring and loving for happy life!
“Kate, John & Cash were wonderful. They go the extra mile to work with you, are skilled & attentive in working with active dogs. Kate & John sent great pictures. It was wonderful that my dog could run in their long, fenced in back yard, wrestle & play tug of war with their dog. Book with them!”

About: FYI, after 8/14 I will be relocated to Loretto. I am a true animal lover, with a special place in my heart for dogs. We have owned a 3-year old Golden Retriever, and have been around dogs all my life. In addition to owning a dog, I have experience in boarding and house-sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. This has allowed me to gain exposure to different breeds and temperaments, and learn how to adapt to their individual needs! We just really love dogs and know how important it is to have a good, safe dogsitter or walker! I work remotely full-time so I am able to care for my dog and others throughout the day and also allows them to roam freely versus being in a cage or alone all day. This also allows flexibility with potty breaks, walks, and playing! My dog is very friendly and well trained, she and clients pets can have full range of the house when we are home. We do crate train our dog when we are gone but being honest we like to bring her with us whenever possible! Our townhome has a nice yard with local parks near by great for walks and playing.

About: My friends and family have always relied on me to take care of their pets. I’ve been doing this for many years now and have been enjoying it. I’m available to look after your fur babies and ensure they receive all the love, attention, and quality time they need. I’m able to provide constant supervision, personalized care, and a calm, comforting environment for them to enjoy. My dog Jack is very friendly, gentle, and calm. He’s 7 years old and loves spending time and playing with other dogs; he’ll be great company for your pup!
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 13 years old. I’ve grown up having dogs my entire life to getting a dog of my own. I’ve spent my life around dogs of various breeds from Shibas to Goldendoodles to Bernese Mountain dogs to Saint Bernards. Through these years I’ve trained puppies whether at home or attending classes and volunteered at various animal shelters. I have a special place in my heart for dogs and promise to care for your dog the way I would my own! I work from home so my schedule is very flexible, including weekends. I can plan around pretty much anything. Would prefer advance notice for any weekend pet care. I can easily drive over to either take your dog for a walk, check in, or watch your dogs in my home for some doggy daycare.
About: With 30 years of dog‑care experience, I’ve done it all—groomer’s apprentice, breeder house‑sitter, and professional treat‑dispenser. Your pup gets a work‑from‑home buddy, a fenced yard for maximum zoomies, and all the cuddles they can handle. Special needs? Meds? Extra attention? I’ve got it covered. Basically, your dog’s about to live their best life. Pet care fits naturally into my day because I work from home, so I’m able to give dogs consistent attention from morning to night. With 30 years of experience—including working as a groomer’s apprentice and house‑sitting for dog breeders—caring for pups is part of my everyday rhythm. I take regular breaks for potty trips, playtime, and zoomies in the fenced yard, and I offer both daycare and boarding, depending on what your pup needs. Your dog’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I provide a secure home environment, a safely enclosed yard for outdoor fun, and plenty of cozy indoor spaces for rest and snuggles. I’m experienced with medications, special‑needs care, and senior pups, and I treat every dog like my own—patient, calm, and attentive. You can trust that your pup will receive reliable, loving care and a true home‑away‑from‑home experience.
