“She did an amazing job watching Nova! It was clear Nova loved spending time with her and especially enjoyed meeting the big dogs. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. We’re both looking forward to the next visit—thank you again for the wonderful care!”

“Joey is loving his time at Mike's! I noticed today he was wagging his tail when he saw Mike and that shows me he is comfortable going there. I can't imagine taking him anywhere else! Thanks Mike!”

“Sandy is the best person to care for your dog while you’re away. She takes the time to find out about your dog before she takes care of them. It’s obvious that she truly loves caring for dogs. I know my little guy will miss all of the love she gave him in my absence. Lisa L.”

“Caleb has been amazing with my dog. When we get there she can't wait to rush in the door. She adores him and always comes home exhausted and tail wagging!”

“Giovana is one of the most loving and responsible pet caregivers I have ever met. She treats every dog as if they were her own, with so much affection and attention. Her dedication and care make all the difference—I always feel at ease knowing my pet is in her hands.”

“Absolutely wonderful experience! Karen was so kind and welcoming to our very energetic pup! She has great attention to detail and took the time to truly get to know our dog and his unique personality and needs. Getting updates and pictures of our dog having the time of his life with Karen and her family made us feel so at ease knowing that he was in great, loving hands. We will definitely be reaching out to Karen in the future and our pup can’t wait to go back! ☺️❤️”

“Hannah was so great! I was reluctant to try Rover but my dog had the best time and came home pooped which doesn’t happen often! Overall a great experience and Hannah will be my first choice next daycare day :)”

“This was the first time we used Rover. We left Gunner for a daycare day to start. Carolyn and Kristopher were great with Gunner. Carolyn wrote down all the details of Gunner’s normal routine and his particular needs. He came home very tired which was a win. We will be using them again in February for a longer stay. So thankful we found such wonderful people to leave him with.”

“Dylan & Whitney were wonderful. They listened to our description of Koko's personality and feeding instructions. Our (8 lb 16 yr old) Koko was treated royally. We definitely recommend them! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“Melanie did a wonderful job watching our dog Izzo for us. She was a very responsive and communicative during the reservation process and was flexible on drop off and pick up times which we really appreciated. Izzo came home happy and tired. We will definitely use Melanie again in the future should the need arise.”

“Very nice people and my dog came home very happy. Would highly recommend!!”

About: I'm a Veterinary Technician with years of experience, along with Animal Care experience. I graduated from the University of Wisconsin River Falls, majoring in Animal Science with an emphasis in companion animals. I grew up on a hobby farm so I've grown up with animals my entire life. I've had life long experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, guinea pigs, and other small critters. I live in a house. There is also a park just blocks away! I live with my boyfriend. I have solid references from many pet parents that I have pet sat for for years. I’m comfortable giving medications if need be to your animals while you’re away so no need to worry about missing their scheduled medicine. I’m willing to travel for work. I don’t mind driving to you for in-home pet sitting so your animal is most comfortable where they are. With many years of personal and professional animal handling experience I am comfortable and confident with administering medications that your animal may need, nail trims, walks, play time, cuddles, or whatever they may need. I will follow your instructions to the best of my abilities.

“Misty did a great job watching Winne for a few hours while we attended a concert at UWRF. Highly recommend.”

About: Hi everyone! Animals have always been an important part of my life. I’m down to two horses now but I’ve had dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs, rabbits, an iguana, and fish. I lost my dog some time ago and love having the dogs here again. I am home full time so your pet will have lots of attention day & night. If your dog likes long walks I have 40 acres of land to explore. If he or she would rather cuddle on the sofa I’m up for that too. I have a comfortable home and a large yard for your pet to explore. I will treat him/her like I would any member of my family.

“We needed doggy day care on short notice while we attended a wedding in the area. Samantha was really helpful and friendly. She took great care of Gigi and sent us a fun picture too!”

About: I’ve had dogs all my life. I grew up with 6 other siblings and we always had animals around. I lost our beloved family dog about two years ago and I do not want to commit to raising another one since I like to travel. But on my down time, I really miss having a dog to love that’s why I thought this would be a great option! I recently retired so I have a lot of flexibility, and a lot more time to spend at home and to care for your dog. It’s just me and my wife that live in the home and she would be available to help if needed. We live in the country on a one acre lot so your dog would have a big area to roam! I am fine with the pet staying inside my home if that is what works best for you. I am happy to use a crate if that’s what’s preferred!

About: I've been a dog owner since I was a teenager; I recently retired and remain very active in the community so currently do not have a dog. I love walking dogs. It helps me stay active. I also like to help hard-working young people, who work long hours, still be able to own a dog. One day I hope to be able to offer dog walking services on a daily basis, so that people who are unable to leave their home still could have a dog as a companion. I am an early riser, so I can come over and walk your dog anytime from 6 am onward; However, as I am presently doing close to fulltime dog sitting for a 7 1/2 year old Golden Retriever in my own home, I am not looking to add another client. I can pick up your dog for a walk in one of the area parks. (I am a reliable and safe driver, and the dogs always stay in the back seat--I have a dog barrier); I love to offer a variety of parks to visit: Glover Park is wooded with trails that are shaded in the summer and are not salted in the winter; The White Pathway and Glen Park are paved, and also offer some shade in the summer; Ryan Desanctis Park has wide open spaces, a lot of sun, and ample walkways; Hoffman Park Trails are more strenuous and only suitable for dogs that are fit. I'm comfortable with providing scheduled meals and medication administration if needed. I am always on time. Personal references can be given. Please note, however, that I am currently not able to add new clients to my schedule.

About: I am a hardworking, pet motivated 25 year old with a cat and 2 dogs of my own. I have grown up around all types of animals since I was about 7 years old and have in the past few years taken care of many friends' animals as well as my own. I am a young woman and I work to take good care of myself and my family, my family being my husband, my dogs and cat. I am personable with all types of animals, there are some animals that don't get along well with certain people but somehow are okay with me normally. I know that is something everyone says but this is very true, I try to volunteer to walk dogs and love on cats at the humane society in Red Wing on any free time I have. I love rewarding with treats for when animals do a good job going potty or doing tricks. I have also had reptiles and smaller animals that I would be willing to take care of along with the regular dog and cat pets. I have a good reputation for pet care with my own animals. I make all my animals a priority which means I’ll do the same for customers. I take the extra measures to care for all animals. I normally look over my dogs and cat daily to make sure nothing is going on with them. Keeping to their normal schedule with eating and potty habits.

About: I've grown up with an array of animals my entire life. I've owned cats, family dogs, reptiles, etc. I know what it takes to give an animal the love and care it deserves. My schedule is fairly flexible. I'm more of a morning person than night. I enjoy being active with animals. Will try to be flexible with your schedule too. I'm always very careful with animals. Their safety is very important to me. I never feed animals human food, I try to have organic products around.

“Adam is a great guy - very caring and responsible. He's terrific with animals - especially dogs. He's also an amazing people person. You can't go wrong with Adam.”
