2. Kristin B.

“We have had Kristin cat sit for us a couple of times and she’s wonderful! We are so happy with her and are so thankful to have found her for our kitties! She does an outstanding job!”




3. Britt B.

“Britt came though in a last-minute pinch for us and was a lifesaver so we were able to enjoy our vacation and not worry. We will definitely utilize her services again! Highly recommend!”

5. Jess W.

“Outstanding care for our 12 1/2 year old Labradoodle. Jess was so accommodating with a last minute emergency that came up. Went beyond our expectations when we saw our daily photos. If there were 6 stars I would have given them to her! Highly recommend!”

“Amazing as always!”


7. Regina D.

8. Heidi L.

“Heidi is great to work with and highly recommended. I greatly appreciated the pics and videos she sent - it's comforting to know the dogs were happy and kept busy during her visit. I will certainly book with Heidi again!”


9. Amy W.
About: I have experience in taking care of elderly dogs and young pups. I have trained my dogs and other dogs to sit, down, wait and shake. I live in the Lake Minnetonka area. I have a Chihuahua/Terrier/Maltese Mix and he is 1 year and 8 mos. old. I can provide the need for walks and drop in visits and house sitting. I am available during the early morning and late afternoon and evening any day of the week. I work at a school in the Minnetonka School District. I am available all holidays and summer break. I request to have clear instructions for walking/sitting dogs for harnesses, leashes, feeding, and toy preferences. I have a vet that I would use for emergencies.


10. Jennifer G.

“I was in a pinch and requested a visit from Jennifer who was quick to respond and agree to visit our pup! Thank you Jennifer.”


11. Jennifer O.

“Jennifer was able to come over with only a few hours notice. Pups were happy to meet her. Will definately use again.”


12. Amy M.

“Amy was great! Punctual and very responsive with messages. She took great care of our dog and kept me up to date with how he was doing and sent pics too. Our dog seemed like he was a pretty happy pooch even with his usual family being gone. Would love to have her back the next time we’re in need of dog care.”


13. Harper M.
About: I've been caring for my own dogs—an 11-year-old Wheaten Terrier and a 4-year-old mixed breed—for years. I’m experienced in feeding, walking, and playing with them, and I make sure they get the care and attention they need every day. I’ve also helped take care of pets for family and friends, and I truly enjoy making animals feel loved and safe. I'm a high school student with only three in-person classes, so I have a flexible schedule for mid-day check-ins and evening care. I'm especially available during the summer and weekends, making it easy for me to spend quality time with your pets throughout the day. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love meeting new friends. I can crate your dog if needed and follow any specific routines or instructions you provide. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority!


14. Melissa L.
“Melissa has watched my dachshund Kinnick multiple times. She is always very excited to see him and sad to see him go. She'll send me cute pics of the little guy which keeps my mind at ease. She's an A++ dog watcher who loves animals!!!!”


15. Celeste F.
“Celeste is an extremely responsible, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. She genuinely loves animals, and will treat them like her own, while also being extremely communicative and making sure you’re always updated on how things are going. I felt so comfortable leaving my pets (2 cats and 1 dog) under her care, knowing they would be kept extremely happy and healthy the whole time. They were probably more disappointed to see her leave than me! I highly recommend Celeste for any of your pet needs!”


16. Katharine F.

“so appreciative for Katharine (and her daughter) helping me with my dog while i was unable to. she was very kind, responsive, and i look forward to booking her services again.”


17. Kevin M.
“Kevin is a very loving and gentle young man, who has a knack for befriending both people and pets of all ages with ease. As a friend, he has watched my beagle, Eloise, many many times, and though she is an old-timer (going on 13 years), she is always happy to see him and play with him.”


18. Marcy C.

“Marcie is great and and very thoughtful!”
