“We were lucky to find Ms Holly and family. She was quick to respond to messages and questions. Very kind and loving 🥰 family. Our pup was well taken care of and you could tell they genuinely enjoyed watching her. Will definitely look forward to working with them again.”


“Margo took such good care of our dog Miguel! We are no longer able to board him at a traditional boarder due to his age. It was a relief to know he was being well cared for with extra TLC during his stay with her. She kept us informed during our trip and also sent pictures. We definitely recommend Margo and will hire her again!!”


“Cynthia provided excellent care, lots of love and snuggles, and other fur friends for my Lily to play with. Beautiful setting in the country with a large fenced in yard. Safe and compassionate pet care. Highly recommended.”


“Amy and her family were great with Mable! Really good communication before, during, and after. Amy sent multiple pictures each day. Will definitely use again and recommend to others!”



“Dondee took the best care of our 10 month old puppy while we went on a week vacation. He is full of energy and she was up for the challenge. (And he came back even more well mannered than when he left) We will definitely be going to Dondee for all future travels. He had a vacation as well as us!!! She went above and beyond sending pictures and loving our pup. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Thank you Dondee!!!”


“This couple is great! Very friendly and it was very evident that my boys were comfortable and relaxed. Loved the picture updates. Will definitely be booking again!!”


“Very nice people and our dog Zeus had a wonderful time! Would definitely have him stay there again. Good communication and provided daily pictures as well without going overboard.”


“Allison and her family were amazing!!! Updates and pics were sent daily during the stay. When I picked my dog up she had the biggest smile on her face. Will definitely be rebooking!”


“Kari and her family were wonderful! They accepted our Marley as a member of their own family and treated him with care and lots of love! We would call on them first the next time we need to board our dog. Thank you, Kari, and your family, for having Marley in your home while we were away.”


“Ashlee was super attentive to my dog and sent me daily updates and pictures. He didn’t want to come home. She enjoyed him and loved him like part of her own family. I will definitely use Ashlee again!”

About: I am currently retired from working at animal hospitals for 30 + years. I have had dogs since birth! My husband and I enjoy fostering dogs through The Bond Between in Minnetonka. I am retired and home most days and nights. I do occasionally go into the cities to visit family. I am happy to work around clients schedules. I have a fenced yard. All my foster dogs have been treated like family. I have 2 dogs of my own that love having visitors.

About: I have a patiences and love for animals! I am very comfortable walking, grooming, and loving all types of pets. I have worked with dogs (puppies and seniors), reptiles, fish and cats. I have a lot of availability during the day. I do not work a traditional 9-5 job and have flexibility to focus on your pets. I focus on the safety and joy of your pet! I will follow any requests for your animal and your home. I have one dog and three cats to keep all pets company but all are easily blocked off if any animals are overwhelmed.

About: With two dogs of my own, I’ve had the experience of raising and taking care of dogs of all ages! Over three years of experience. I am a teacher. During the school year, I am available Friday through Sunday nights, but during the summer I am available 7 days a week! I live in a safe and friendly neighborhood with two high energy Labs to play with your dog! Great area for walks and playing outside.

About: Hi, I'm Emily! I've had animals my whole life and truly love being around them. I grew up on a dairy farm and have always been surrounded by pets. I currently have three border collies and a cat, so I'm used to high-energy pets and keeping up with different routines. I've also raised a few litters of puppies over the years, so I'm comfortable with all ages and stages. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, feeding, or just some company while you're away, I'm happy to help however I can. I'm calm, dependable, and always make sure animals feel safe and cared for. I work full time during the week, but I’m available for pet care in the mornings, evenings, and on weekends. I enjoy starting and ending my day with some animal time—it fits naturally into my routine since I already care for my own pets every day. I have a fenced yard area for safe outdoor time and a quiet indoor space where your pet can relax away from my own animals if needed. I always focus on keeping pets comfortable, secure, and stress-free—whether they're at my place or I'm visiting yours. I follow your care instructions closely and treat every animal with patience, kindness, and respect.

“Kassandra was absolutely amazing with my high energy yellow lab! She gave her lots of love and exercise and gave me updates at least daily. We will definitely be bringing Rosie back!”


About: I grew up on a small hobby farm, where my love for animals began early. After high school, I started working at a large boarding and daycare facility and immediately knew I had found my passion. For over 16 years, I’ve worked hands-on with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’m highly experienced in pet safety, canine body language, illness recognition, and overall pet care. Whether your pet needs playtime, patience, or a little extra TLC, I’m here to provide reliable, knowledgeable, and loving care—just like I would for my own. I work a steady 8:00–4:30 job while my wife heads to work later in the morning around 9:30/10:00 so your pets won’t be left alone for long stretches of the day. Mornings start with potty breaks, breakfast, and some play before I leave, and my wife is home to give extra love and attention before she heads out. In the evenings, I’m back for long walks, dinner, and plenty of snuggles to wind down the night. Weekends are even better—I’m free for extra walks, playtime, and all the cuddles. We enjoy going to our permanent camper on the weekends (only with owner approval) which also has a fenced in yard! I share my home with several of my own friendly dogs(in all sizes), which means visiting pets always have built-in playmates! I have the ability to crate any of my dogs if necessary. My secure, fenced-in yard provides a safe space for supervised outdoor time, whether it’s for exercise, play, or just relaxing in the sun. Because I’m experienced in managing group dynamics and reading body language, I ensure that every interaction is positive and stress-free. Having a pet-friendly home environment allows me to provide a level of comfort, safety, and routine that helps your dog feel right at home. When we are gone pets must be able to be crated or go in their own bedroom. We have a spare bedroom with a bed and camera, to ensure we can monitor how your dog is doing while we are away.
