“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!”


“Aphra is an absolute champion! She showed up on time, was incredibly kind, and went above and beyond from start to finish. She took the time to interview me before even meeting my dogs, making sure she understood everything they needed. Throughout the day, she stayed in touch, sent photos, asked questions, and gave me complete peace of mind. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience”


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.

“Lynn was AMAZING! She took care of my pups for a lengthy trip and I came home to two extremely happy puppies. She kept me updated throughout my time away, sent lots of photos, and took them on lots of walks. I booked her pretty last minute and she made sure the meet and greet process was swift and easy!”

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.
