About: I've been fortunate to share my life with multiple dogs throughout my life, giving me a deep understanding of canine behavior and the unique needs of different personalities. I'm comfortable handling packs of dogs, ensuring each receives individual attention while maintaining a harmonious environment. I'm skilled at recognizing and addressing any signs of stress or anxiety in a multi-dog household. Whether it's playtime, mealtimes, or simply providing a calm and comforting presence, I can create a positive and enjoyable experience for all dogs in my care. I am home most of the day after taking the kids to school, I do have a real estate business that requires some of my time. I have a large fenced in back yard and an Irish doodle to keep your pup company. My garage is heated and all kennels are cleaned daily

“Tom was excellent with my furkids! Makes my heart happy to know that they were loved and cared for while I was gone. I will definitely be asking for him every time I have to be out of town ❤️”

“Sarah did a great job watching our 3 little ones (2) cats and 1 dog. Our dog is a senior so she need a little extra care. Sarah sent us pictures with updates which I really appreciate since it hard enough being away for the little ones. It was only for a day but they loved her. Even our cat Zoey warmed up to her which is a huge compliment to her. We will be using her again when the time is needed.”

I can do walks or stay in your home as well as incorporating drop in visits.

About: Hi, I’m Mallory and I am a dog lover to my core! The big thing you should know about me is that I will absolutely treat your dog as my own and will most likely love them within seconds of meeting! I’ve had dogs all throughout childhood and I’ve always taken the best care of them! I’ve played with dogs while babysitting for kids and I also have a couple friends that I have dog sat and house sat for! I’m currently a full time nanny in Okoboji Monday-Friday; 8:30-4:30. I am luckily able to take the kids with me to do things so I could very easily let dogs out during the day, feed them, etc. The same goes for house sitting, if your pet can be left alone for a few hours at a time! My weekends are almost always open unless I’m babysitting or going out of town for the day! I cannot care for any pets in my home as my dog isn’t a fan of other dogs but I am more than willing to come to yours! I always play with them for a little bit before I leave and after I have fed them/let them out! I always make sure they feel loved and cared for while their parents are away!

About: I've had pets my whole life. In high school I volunteered with the humane society and as an adult I've worked with rescues and the raptor center at U of M. Let me take care of your furry family member like they are my own. I'm currently unemployed and looking for enjoyable income spending time with your faithful companions. Caring for them will be the highlight of my day. I love to see happy animals. I have a fenced yard to allow space for my two large dogs. Their food is backed by veterinary nutritionists. My two cats enjoy showing affection via head butts and K sleeps on my hip. My turtle roams the house often and enjoys spending time with his siblings. For Christmas I bought a box of 100 tennis balls. They love it.

“Alyssa and her partner watched my cat for a week and they were amazing. They sent updates and kept me in the loop if something was wrong. I would definitely book her again!”

““Tom was awesome! Excellent communication throughout and he provided regular updates that gave me peace of mind. I was very happy with his services and would definitely book with him again. Highly recommend!””

About: I have always had a dog in my life and when I was younger I used to walk my neighbors dogs. I always dog sit family members and friends dogs while they are away and enjoy every second of it! I am currently a full time college student, so the weekends will be the most beneficial to me so I can focus on studying during the week. Moreover, I can give full attention to your furry friend. I have a mid sized yard and live in a duplex with a couple other friends. The people living under us are also friends who have a dog! She is a golden retriever.

“Tom was great, and especially flexible with multiple changes to our schedule. Our puppy had three long and pleasant walks and slept well each night!”
