“As always, Kim did a great job! Kept us updated and sent pictures every day. Very happy with her care of Remie. Also, watered the garden and my flowers. Very much appreciated!”

“Lakaya was great watching our older dog Caspian! She sent us plenty of updates which put us at ease knowing our dog was well taken care of. At the end of our trip our flight back home was delayed by a day. Fortunately Lakaya’s schedule was open and she was able to watch our dog for another day while we couldn’t be home. We didn’t have to worry about Caspian for our whole trip!”


About: Hi there! If you’re looking for someone who truly adores animals, you’ve come to the right place! From childhood through high school, I spent my time walking neighborhood dogs alongside caring for our own family pets. I was known around the neighborhood as the reliable babysitter and animal lover everyone could count on! At 17, I took on the rewarding challenge of training my own Service Dog, which gave me even more hands-on experience and deepened my love and understanding of dogs. I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family and always make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities! From gentle senior pups who need a slower pace to week-old puppies still with their mama. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of getting to know and care for hundreds of dogs, each with their own unique personality and needs. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I’m currently on summer break from college, which means I will have plenty of time and flexibility for walks, playtime, cuddles, and quality pet care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! I understand how important it is to find someone you can fully trust with your furry family member. I tailor my care to each individual pup and always work closely with pet parents to create the safest and most comfortable environment possible, because nobody knows your dog better than you do! I have safety plans and routines in place for different types of care and am always happy to adapt to your pet’s unique needs, personality, and routine. Feel free to message me with any questions about my services or safety measures! I’d love to chat and help you feel confident and comfortable when booking with me!
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and personalities for over 15 years, starting with family and neighbors and continuing through friends and repeat clients. I also volunteer walking dogs at the Humane Society in Superior, where I regularly work with nervous, high-energy, or more challenging dogs. I take a calm, patient approach and adjust to each dog’s needs, earning trust is always my goal. If a dog is difficult, I see it as an opportunity to connect. I truly love dogs, and I already love yours. I have a flexible schedule and work from home most days, which allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day. With about three days’ notice, I can adjust my schedule to accommodate pet care needs. On days I’m in the office or traveling for personal reasons, I communicate clearly in advance to ensure expectations are set and care is consistent. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I have two friendly dogs of my own, and I’m mindful about introductions and routines. If a pet needs a quieter or separate environment, I have family nearby who can care for my dogs as needed. I have a partially fenced yard and use leashes and close supervision for outdoor time. I follow care instructions closely and focus on providing a calm, structured, and safe environment.
About: Hi! I am a small business owner with pets of my own. I love to be inside or outside and have a very flexible schedule. Communication is my super power so you will always know that your pets are safe and sound! I am also very patient as I am a caregiver for my aging mother. I work for myself, so my schedule tends to be very flexible and variable. I also set my own schedule and thus can flow with changes as needed. Each pet has different needs, each pet owner has different expectations. I am very ready to listen and deliver what you need for your pets.
“Lakes was amazing with Artemis! She was great at communicating with us and keeping us informed of how Artemis was doing. I would recommend her to anyone and will definitely be repeat client.”

About: I have owned dogs my entire life. I grew up with long haired dachshunds. I have also owned labs, a Dalmatian, huskies, you name it. I love big cuddly dogs the most, but will love up on the smallest to the biggest dog the same. I also have a big heart for senior pets. I work full-time during the week but I am always on the go and able to help with pet sitting, dog walking, helping with caring for animals as needed. I am available for house-sitting depending on the days/times. When I go to someone's home to care for their pet I will treat it as though it is my own pet, which is with the utmost care, kindness and love. I have a huge heart for all living beings including animals and humans. I am highly responsible, and responsive.
About: I have over ten years of pet ownership and care experience. I have owned or cared for a variety of animals including dogs, cats, chickens, snakes, geckos, cattle, pigs, horses etc. I am an animal lover and will give your pets the same love I give to my own! I am currently on my summer break from veterinary school, so my schedule is very flexible. I am available for a wide variety of services. I am extremely attentive and take great pride in the attention to detail and thoroughness that I use in my daily life. I respect homeowner and pet owner rules completely. I will take extra precaution to ensure the safety and health of your animals in my care.
“Sav was very accommodating and knowledgeable about large breed dogs. We felt very comfortable with her taking care of our fur baby. We will be utilizing her services again. Highly recommend.”

“Amber was awesome with our dog! She dog sat for us when our dog was recovering from getting neutered. Our dog is very energetic and she did so well keeping him calm and bringing activities to keep him occupied. We were very impressed with her care!”

“Jessie was great and so accommodating when caring for our two retrievers for a few nights. She gave multiple updates which we LOVED, followed instructions, and left the house in great shape. We’ll be reaching out to her if/when we need someone to watch our pups in the future!”

About: I’ve taken care of many different kinds of dogs since I was young. My family has a 14 year old Great Dane who I consider my baby. We have also had other smaller dogs such as a mini Aussie doodle and an Italian greyhound. I have been pet sitting dogs since I was in middle school and I always enjoyed spending time with every dog I met. I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs and I have experience with lifting and carrying very large senior dogs with difficulty jumping, as well as caring for dogs with sundowners. I’m also pretty good at getting most dogs to take their meds. I’m a college student so I mostly have evenings and weekends free. Getting a few hours in outside of my regular schedule is really helpful to me. I am very respectful of your space and I want to make sure the dog feels comfortable most of all. I will carefully read the list of tasks I’m left and make sure that everything gets done so that you can come back home with no concerns about your house or your pet.

About: Hey there! I'm Amelia — I live on a homestead with acreage in the Meadowlands area of northern MN with my husband Cole, our two big dogs, and two very chill cats. We're outdoorsy, animal-obsessed, and genuinely love having a well-matched guest dog join the pack for a bit. I keep my space small on purpose — I only take 1 dog at a time (occasionally 2 if they're a bonded pair). Your dog gets to actually hang out with us, not sit in a kennel run. Think: meadow walks, couch time, and the kind of attention your dog would get from a friend who just really loves dogs. My resident crew is good with all breeds and sizes — big dogs are welcome. The cats are dog-savvy and hold their own. I'll send you photo updates because I'd want the same. I work from home, so your dog won't be alone. I'm thoughtful about which dogs I say yes to — I always recommend a meet-and-greet first so everyone can get a feel for each other. Reach out and let's chat! Some one is always home so your pet is never alone for long. Mornings start outside — we're on acreage so there's real space to move. The rest of the day is a mix of work, outdoor time, and hanging out together. Low-key, consistent, present. Your animal is part of the household while they're here, not a guest in a kennel. Safe outdoor space, resident animals who are calm and social, and a home where the animals genuinely run the show.
About: I understand that pets have more than food and exercise needs and deserve and need stimulation, play and company, not just rigid mileage — that’s what sets me apart from other walkers. I have worked with puppies, kittens, and senior animals. I am working remotely and have a flexible schedule where I have a lot of autonomy over when I take breaks to go outside and such My personal philosophy when entering someone’s home is to protect their privacy and provide peace of mind that their pets and home are in good hands. I focus on the small details that build trust—following lighting instructions (turning lights off, or leaving a porch light on if requested), returning keys exactly where they were found, and double-checking that faucets are fully off before I leave.

About: I am a cool and calm individual who can easily adapt to new energies and environments. I have cared for small, medium, and large dogs all with varying personalities, needs, and activities including Yorkshire Terriers, Blue Heelers, Labs, and Pitt Bulls. I can stay home with pets who'd rather curl up on the couch, go hiking with more active ones, or help dogs with anxiety feel safe. I can stick to schedules while reading a dog's changing needs. I have experience in healthcare, the service industry, and trauma-conscious yoga which aids in my ability to respond to stressful or complicated situations with efficiency, grace, and compassion. I can easily connect with animals. Through mutual respect and appreciation, I have formed a genuine bond with all of the dogs I have cared for. I have a very flexible schedule. Day time is usually open. I work multiple part time jobs at night but can schedule around those times. I can walk, let-out, play, or stay with dogs. I feel comfortable caring for multiple pets. I do well with leashing and crating. I can administer medications. I will adhere to eating and potty schedules. I will communicate efficiently with dog-owners.
