“Brie is a very experienced, conscientious and mindful pet sitter. Brie stayed in our home while we were away. She left our home and pets in tip-top shape. She had our pets' needs as her priority. One of our cats starting showing signs of diabetes a couple weeks before our trip that we were monitoring to reoprt back to the vet, but she was able to pinpoint other signs we weren't aware of so we really appreciated the extra medical attention. Brie also sent photos every day of our pets so we were assured of their comfort and happiness. That little extra goes a long way when you are out of town. This fall we have a longer trip planned, and we will absolutely book Brie again. She is Top-Notch!!”
“Landon was wonderful with our cats! On his first visit, he went out of his way to spend extra time with them and made sure they were well cared for. He cleaned the litter box daily and was even kind enough to take out the trash. We’ll definitely be using Landon again!”
“I wish I could give Jeanette more than a five-star review – she deserves it! She met us ahead of our travel plans to discuss care for our special needs cat and I appreciated all the questions she asked. Our cat was on multiple medications twice daily and leaving him for a week was a stressful concern for my husband and I, but with Jeanette's help, we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing he was so well cared for. It was especially meaningful to me that she gave our fur baby the lap time he was used to with us and I know that helped him in our absence. The daily updates and pictures were so appreciated. The next time we need to arrange for care for our fur babies, we will definitely reach out to Jeanette again. Thank you so much, Jeanette!”
“Amanda was great. Olive felt comfortable with her and enjoyed all the love and play time. Amanda went above and beyond with keeping the litter cleaned up and scrubbing the water fountain, both which I really appreciate. Would definitely hire her again. 👍🏻”
“This is the second time we’ve used Nora. We have three dogs, so it’s quite a bit of juggling! We totally appreciate all the help she has done with feeding, letting out, and pills. We will use her again!”
“100% recommend Jessica and her husband! They were very flexible and reliable. They gave us detailed reports with pictures. Our pets loved them and their care was unmatched. We definitely will be using Jessica again.”
“Megan was very attentive and awesome looking after our two cats! Her updates we always looked forward to and our cats certainly appreciated her presence as well. She was nothing but awesome and definitely cares about your animals like her own :)”
“Kinzley we can’t thank you enough for your help with all our fur babies on our wedding day. I was able enjoy the day knowing they were in good hands. Will definitely reach out for future visits if needed. You’re the best!!”
About: I have taken care of dogs on and off for 2 years now, and have decided to make a more permanent space in my life for it. I love all doggies, and cannot wait to meet your sweet fur baby! I have experience with senior care and puppy care. I am currently a full time stay at home mom, so I am available any time to chat or answer any orations you may have. I have a non fenced in yard, but have plenty of time to take your pup on walks around town. I live in a friendly small town neighborhood!
About: I would consider myself very experienced when it comes to caring for animals. I worked at a dog kennel where meeting and caring for all kinds of dogs was my everyday life. From the calm ones who need medication to the hyper ones who need an outlet, I was always happy to have the privilege of caring for them. At the kennel I did feeding, medications, play, doggy day care, and had many more responsibilities. I also have also taken my love for dogs to another level by fostering rescues. This is something that brings me so much joy, especially when they start out timid and I get to watch them come out of their shell. I recently adopted a puppy which has been so exciting! Unfortunately for the safety of his health this means I had to pause fostering. I think caring for your animals will help fill that hole in my life! HOUSE SITTING ANNOUNCEMENT: Due to having a puppy of my own I cannot do overnight stays. I absolutely can stay with your dogs throughout the day with a couple of breaks to take care of my own puppy. I am a full time employee for a flower shop typically working 8-3. If I gain clientele who are seeking availability during the day I am willing to switch to night shift but do not want to do so until I gain interest. As of now I am allowed long breaks so if you would like someone to care for your pet at lunch time I can. I would prefer to take clients after 3 PM. Please feel free to check in with me as my days off are varied! I treat all pets with the love and respect they deserve. I will do my best to always understand your pets boundaries and to earn their trust to give them all my love!
About: I have lots of puppy care experience, and I know how to take care of all types of breeds. I will make sure your animals are loved and treated like family! I’m currently looking for a full time job, so I am able to give your animals the care and attention they need throughout the day. I live in an apartment with lots of space, so I can accommodate a lot of different animals. Also a huge outside area where they can do their business and play!
About: I have owned pets my whole life. My two Bernese Mountain Dogs both recently passed and I would love to care for your pets as I get over their loss. I work 7:30-4:30 in Hiawatha Monday-Friday with a 1 hour lunch for letting the dog out at noon, all my other time is available before and after work. I am not currently offering in-home pet care. Will update if this changes in the future. No pricing has been provided for this particular service.
About: I have always been with animals when I was a kid and everyone counted on me to take care of their animals. They trusted me. I work full time Monday through Friday. Open on the weekends. Message me about times due to my hours are different on Tuesday & Thursday. I have a friendly neighborhood, family is nice, own one dog that is friendly, loves to play. Great environment. Big open place to run around.
“Miranda is very friendly, caring and thoughtful! Her in-home service for our cat(s) allowed us to take a worry-free vacation. We will definitely seek her services in the future!”
About: I have two dogs of my own who love I take on daily hikes and walks and would love other doggos to hangout with us! We love to bike and hike in the summers and ski and snowshoe in the winters. I’m currently a student so I have most of my classes remotely so I am home most of the day to hangout with the pups! I have 2 crates if needed and walking trails nearby. Please let me know if there is anything you need to accommodate your animals needs.
“Marie provided care for my cat Dahlia while I was on my first trip ever away from her. She was kind and patient with my very timid and skittish cat. Marie’s knowledge and experience made her the perfect choice so that I could enjoy my trip without worry. I will definitely book Marie for any future trips. I highly recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 12 years old. Family, friends, and neighbors have all relied on me to care for their pets the way I’ve cared for my own. I will have all of the time in the world to take care of your pets. I will make the time to take them for walks, play with them, watch them, and bathe them whenever you need me to. I always allow for ample time outside and enrichment activities. I have experience with crate training if needed as well as potty training for puppies. I’ll make sure to keep your pets entertained through every season.
About: As a pet owner, I know the dread that looms over your head when you decide to leave for vacation, work trips, or a weekend getaway. I’m here to make leaving your pet temporarily as easy as possible! I will give your pet the care and love they deserve while you’re away! I love to send photos and videos to the pet owners so they can be more relaxed on their trip, knowing that their pets are well-taken care of. I’m very responsive so if you’re anxious, I am more than happy to drop by your house on an unscheduled time to check on your pets.

“Reliable, trustworthy, and attentive to detail are a few things I would describe Maddie as a pet sitter! She has multiple years of experience with small pets and horses. I would trust my dogs, cats, horses, fish, really any species with her. She can administer medicine as well which is helpful with diabetic pets or pets that are tricky to pill. She can spot when animals are starting to get sick and knows when to act quickly in an emergency. Madison has loved all of my pet as her own and is such a sweet person.”

We were also happy and well cared for since Becca sent us regular updates and pictures! Our puppies and their humans fully endorse Becca!”
