House Sitting in Smith Lake

“Allysa did a great job watching Jayla while we were away for my daughter’s wedding. I appreciated her communication and photos she sent while we were gone. She was very accommodating with providing the same routine with Jayla that we do when we are home. House was also clean when we returned. Will definitely have her watch Jayla again!”

“Autumn was amazing with out 2 English setters- she handled medications wonderfully and gave them so much attention and walks! Our neighbor even commented on how great she was. Look forward to using her again!”

“Shea was absolutely fantastic. Our dog has some health issues, and Shea was very attentive to his medications and our concerns while we were away. We came home to a very happy dog. Our house was spotless. Without asking, Shea washed the bedding and put everything in its place. Her communication was thorough and consistent. Without any hesitation, we would ask Shea to sit for Rocky again! Thank you again for everything, Shea!”

“Elizabeth was a great replacement for us. Treated our dogs as her own. Kept the house clean and sent daily texts about how the girls were doing. We definitely made the right choice in choosing her! It can be scary leaving your babies with a stranger, but after a day away I was at ease. My girls are older and need meds, wear diapers sometimes, have special diets and she handled it all perfectly!!”

“Marsha was absolutely wonderful! Our dogs are not always easy to manage but she did an outstanding job adapting to their needs. Our dogs loved her and we felt comfortable with her staying at our home. We would absolutely have her watch our dogs again! 🐶”

Kelsey A.

“Amazing with our energetic doggie! Was very easy to communicate with her! She takes care of your animals as if they were hers! Very responsible and respectful! Will be using her services again!”

About: I have always lived with a cat. Every friend I have has either a cat or dog or more. I have had exotic animals as well. From breaded dragons to praying mantis. First thing I do make sure to feed everyone. Moving the cat bowls back down because the dog likes to try to eat them at night. The dog gets walked before she eats. We just bought a walkway to help our aging cats reach the food bowls. We have three separate feeding areas. So that everyone can eat. One of our cats has anxiety. We have gone through various methods until we find the one that works to relax her.

About: I currently have 2 cats of my own that I take care of, and I also have experience with cat-sitting, dog-sitting, dog-walking, and more 🐱🐶❤️ I’m working part-time as a pet sitter right now and I can watch your pets on any day of the week (including weekends) from 3:30pm to midnight, but I am willing to make exceptions if I receive any inquiries for pet-sitting outside of my normal hours :) I mainly care for pets at the homes of my clients, but cats are welcome in my home if they don’t mind the company of my 2 cats :) 1 cat per day, and you have to bring your cat in some type of cage/crate. They will be staying upstairs where my room, litter box, and food/water bowls are located.

“Abby was great! Easy to communicate with and took great care of our cats!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for most of my life, from daily walks and play time, to giving meds and cuddles.

I currently work part time and my schedule is pretty flexible. I work mostly nights, so I have plenty of downtime during day time hours. I have an indoor cat so he is pretty relaxed in his environment. I have family members with fenced in yards, tracking collars, and/or just a simple chain and post.

About: I’ve had a dog in my household for as long as I can remember! My family has had golden retrievers throughout my life, and my brother currently has an adorable golden puppy. Unfortunately I can’t currently have a pet as I’m just graduated from college, so dog sitting or walking will help fulfill my love for dogs! I just graduated this May with my masters degree from St Cloud State University and have just recently moved to this area. I will not be starting my new job until next school year and therefore I’m available for pet care any day of the week, and would have a flexible schedule for dog sitting or walking. Dog walking would be great for my routine as I’m an early riser and would be happy for an early morning stroll! I’m unable to provide services in my home as I am currently in an apartment, however I’m open to caring for your pet in any environment provided. I’ve had experience living with a large dog most of my life, and have been with them through all stages of their lives. I’m currently taking the summer off so I am looking to pet care for something fun to do in all of my newfound free time! I am willing to adapt to any of your pets needs in and around your home. Whether that be long walks or curling up on the couch together, I am willing to do whatever they need to feel comfortable away from their owners.

About: Have house sit for friends and family and watched their pets. I grew up with a dog since I was 3 and every encounter I’ve had with animals has been nothing but pleasant I am taking classes online right now, but I am available Monday-Friday and weekends if needed! I love pets and they honestly are destressing for me so I’ll be able to take time for your pets! I live in an apartment complex, on the second floor. We have a small patio, but the apartments have a designated dog park area that’s fenced in as well for them to get their zoomies out!

About: I grown up with dogs my whole life. The first two dogs I had were black labs which I had from when I was 1-14. I always took care of them even in their old age. Currently I have two dogs who are pit bull/Great Dane mixes who are 2 1/2. So I’m very well versed with different ages of dogs! I currently have things on Monday-Thursday. But it will change in the summer(mid June), then I’ll have complete full availability for anytime of day! As I won’t be in dance anymore and work will not be in session in the summer! I will make sure your dog is comfortable with me in their home. I try to be inviting and welcoming as possible, especially with meeting any animal for the first time! I will do my best to follow their normal routine to make sure they feel right at home!

About: As someone who grew up with animals in the house, i view cats and dogs as an extension of the family unit. In having grown up with and around both dogs and cats, I have an inside knowledge on what is required to ensure your fur baby feels safe, loved and cared for. I will make it my goal to ensure that my home is a safe haven where your animals see it as a "home away from home". I initially got into pet sitting after having my friends, neighbors, and co-workers, ask me to watch their pets for a few days so that they were able to go on vacation, have a date night, go away for a business trip etc, and from there I've found myself continuing to assist going on over two years. One thing that has compelled me to expand my services has been the cost-to-level-of-care ratio and the hassle that Boarding has had on my parents, co-workers, and friends. As someone who acknowledges the constraints and the need and desire of pet mom and dads when seeking out care for their fur babies, I invite you to book with me so that we can make sure that your pet can feel as if they are at a "home away from home". I work from home and am able to dedicate the time, energy, and care required to take care of animals with a spectrum of needs. Dedicated room for kennels and boarding, fenced-in back yard, safe neighborhood, ability to take extended stays due to a flexible schedule, bathing, walking, and potty training

About: I am on time, make sure the dogs get attention, I feed them and get them water, and make them feel loved! I love to play with the dogs and walk them! I am available most days to help out with animals, and I have a flexible routine! I work a few days but can make things work in my schedule! I don’t ignore the dogs! I make them feel loved and make sure they have what they need and are being well taken care of!

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life. I love how each animal has a different personality. I would treat your pet as if it were my own. I work full time during the day, Monday through Friday. I would be available in the evenings and weekends to walk, feed, let outside, and board. I have two friendly dogs who love to play. We do not have a fenced in yard but we do have a long tie out leash. I am available to come to your home in the evenings to feed, play, and let your dogs out if you are not able to.
