“Dayjah came through for us last minute for 4th of July weekend. She was reliable, friendly, had great communication, and our dog had so much fun at her house. Dayjah hosted several dogs that weekend, and provided a “summer camp” experience for our dog complete with pool and hose play. He came home tired and happy. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.”

“Brittany and her husband were GREAT!! She watched our dog Tucker for a few days while we were moving. She kept us up to date on how he was doing, and followed all of our instructions caring for him. We really appreciated her flexibility in timing dropping him off and picking him up - we unexpectedly needed to extend our booking an extra night, and was happy to accommodate this last-minute. I recommend Brittany without reservation - we'll definitely be re-booking in the future!”

Her house was very clean too! We're planning to bring our dog to her house again in the future!”

“Kristen and her family were incredible to our dogs. They were very accommodating to their needs. They allowed them to chew up the toys we brought for them and were cool with the mess that came along with it. The treats that were provided were given out. Kristen was very flexible with drop off pick up time. I was pleasantly surprised to see my dogs were not the excised to see me when I returned to pick them up. Which truly tells me that they were given a ton of love attention and affection. I’m very thankful that they watched our dogs. I definitely will use them again.”

About: Hello! I’m Ross. I’ve had pets my whole life, and dogs for the last several years! I’m an avid upland hunter and have two Labrador Retrievers, one that I hunt with and the other one failed bird dog school! Oh well, she’s a great family dog! I have ample experience handling dogs and have a unique understanding into their behavior having trained a hunting dog and working with him in the field. We are a family of 5 that love dogs and would love to give your family member a fun and relaxing stay in our home. I work from my home, running my own brand and design business, which gives me ample time to exercise and potty break your dog! My labs love to play and love all dogs, and are always looking for new friends! Let me know if we can accommodate you! I currently run my own business from my home, so I have ample time to accommodate your dog’s schedule with regular potty breaks and eating or medication times. I have 2 friendly Labrador Retrievers that love to play and get along with any and all friendly dogs! Our yard is not fenced, but if your dog is a risk for running or is skiddish we will use a leash at all times for walks and potty breaks.

About: I have taken care of dogs and horses and absolutely enjoy making sure they feel safe and loved. Pets bring so much joy and comfort. I hope to do the same for the pets I am watching. I'm currently working part-time, so I am available for more time. My son is off to the Marines, so I can stay at the client's house. This love for pet sitting began when my friends asked me to take care of their animals while they were on. vacation I prefer the pets at the client's house, where they feel more comfortable. Building trust with pets is key; they feel safe and secure while parents are gone. I will communicate with you as well as you see fit when you are gone to ensure you are happy and safe.

About: I have over two years of hands-on experience providing loving, dependable pet care, including drop-in visits, in-home dog sitting, and dog walking. I’m lucky to have several amazing regular clients and truly enjoy building strong bonds with the pets I care for. One of my absolute favorites is Remy, a playful white Labrador I’ve been trusted to watch for over a year, he always keeps me smiling! I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have four of my own, so caring for pups is second nature to me. I’m passionate about making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles, I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I am currently in school in the mornings and work in the afternoons however I am usually done by 6 giving me the whole night to hang out with your pup! I love being able to give dogs my full attention, whether that means extra playtime, long walks, or just keeping them company and making them feel comfortable and loved. Because I have four pups of my own at home, I do not offer pet sitting in my home. However, I am very comfortable caring for pets in your home, where they can stay in their familiar environment. I’m happy to keep your home tidy, follow your routines, and provide your pups with plenty of companionship, attention, and love while you’re away.

Mound, MN, 55364

About: I have several years of dog and house-sitting experience through word-of-mouth referrals, caring for pets during trips ranging from a few days to a week and a half. I strive to find what works for each pet as an individual. I have experience caring for elderly dogs, administering oral medication, and working with multiple pets. I’ve cared for a range of dogs—from picky eaters and nervous, anxious dogs that preferred a consistent schedule and energetic dogs with mischievous streaks. Working with such different dogs has helped me become flexible and responsive to a wide range of temperaments and care requirements. Past clients have repeatedly trusted me with their pets and homes, and many have returned for additional bookings. Through these experiences, I have followed detailed care instructions, monitored pets for changes in behavior, provided excercise and affection, maintained a safe environment, and communicated reliably with owners. This means that when a situation is worrisome, I will err on the side of caution as well as informing you. My goal is always to make pets feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away and for you to feel secure your pets are safe and in responsible, good hands. As a college student who comes back home for the breaks, my schedule is relatively wide open. However, I also appreciate still having some time here and there even while on sits to spend with family, should it be possible. When caring for pets in a client's home, I always prioritize following any provided instructions and established routines. In this respect, I especially appreciate detailed care notes, as they help me provide the most consistent and personalized care possible. Every pet is different, and I believe clients know their pets best. At the same time, I use good judgment and common-sense safety practices to ensure pets remain safe, healthy, and comfortable while their parents are away. I am patient, attentive, and observant, and I make it a priority to learn each pet's personality, preferences, and needs. Whatever that means, I aim to adapt my care to what will help each pet feel most at ease. I also value staying in contact with pet parents throughout their time away, as much as their availability and preferences allow. Regular updates help provide peace of mind to everyone, and if any questions or unexpected situations arise, I can communicate promptly so clients stay informed and involved in decisions regarding their pet's care. My goal is to create a safe and familiar environment where pets can thrive and clients can feel confident that their pets and homes are being well cared for.

“Ana and her family were absolutely amazing! It’s clear that they truly understand how important our dogs are to us. Ana’s communication was unparalleled. She sent frequent updates with photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while Oreo was with them. Oreo loved playing with their sweet pup Bailey in their securely fenced yard and soaking up all the loving pets from the whole family. It was obvious that they genuinely love dogs and treat their visitors like part of the family. I also really appreciated the chance to do a meet and greet ahead of time so Oreo and Bailey could meet and make sure they were a good play match. I would feel completely comfortable having Oreo stay with them again anytime, and I know he would be thrilled to go back. I won’t hesitate to reach out next time he needs some playtime and extra snuggles!”

It was clear that she not only was very knowledgeable about about pet care, but even more important, she loved animals. Our dog did fantastic with Dayjah. Infact, he did not seem to want to leave when we picked him up. Dayjah has my highest recommendation in providing safe and loving care for your pet!”

About: I’ve had dogs of my own over the years and have raised them from puppies, so I’m very familiar with all stages of a dog’s life from training and high-energy puppy behavior to the needs of adult and senior dogs. I’ve also personally fostered two daschund dogs for several years while a friend went through a difficult transition, caring for them full-time until she was able to find pet-friendly housing. That experience really deepened my understanding of long-term, committed pet care. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds from larger dogs like Boxers to small breeds like Boston Terriers, Dachshunds, and Yorkies. I truly love them all and adjust my care based on each dog’s personality, energy level, and needs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just companionship, I focus on making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine since I work from home Monday–Friday, which gives me flexibility for walks, feedings, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day. My availability is open, and I’m also available most weekends. At my home, I provide a safe, family-friendly environment where pets are cared for like part of the family. I have a 10-year-old girl and a 13-year-old boy, so I always ensure interactions are supervised and safe for both the pets and children. I follow each pet’s normal routine and make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while staying in my home.

About: I work remotely in marketing full time. We’re very grateful to have a nice home with a wonderful, large, fenced-in backyard that allows the dogs to go potty in and explore (bark!). My availability and hours are very flexible and the dogs are rarely left alone or kenneled, they are free to roam the house, I just close doors as necessary. I have never owned a dog of my own, I just grew up around dogs and cats. Mainly and most recently, it was a sisters two dogs our family spent the most time around: Gibbs (15 lb., 13 yr old, male Jack Russell Terrier & Beagle mix) and Zero (65 lb., 5 yr old, male Standard Poodle). I would basically Rover for her and her husband, which including giving the senior, anxiety-ridden dog meds (he didn’t enjoy, he would spit them up). We enjoyed being outdoors and evening walks around the neighborhood and having them a part of our family. They have then since moved to the West coast with their dogs. I work remotely and am blessed with the work-life balance it offers. I have an energetic elementary school-aged daughter. She's an empath and truly cares for all animals wellbeing! She's deeply concerned about any discomfort or distress. We have a dog-friendly orange cat named Buddy (4). He's fed first thing in the AM and enjoys chin scratches. He stays nearby me in my office or does his own thing. My daughter buses to and from school and I take a hour lunch at noon, then am done at 5 PM and we go about our evening routine. Dogs go out every few hours (sliding patio door) to the fenced in yard or when they signal me. Right in the morning and before bed. I try to get as much activity in for us as possible, especially on decent weather days. We utilize a nearby parks, dog park and walking trails in our community. Having the dogs here really motivate me to go for more walks, the dogs love them and I appreciate the eager walking company. I also live with my younger sister (23). She works full time 2 jobs as a CNA/retail, isn't home much but does help me care for the dogs, such as a short walk around the block. Our home is a 4 bed, 3 level split with a finished basement. It has a large secure, fully-fenced in yard and the property has 11 trees. Garage is attached. We all sleep in the upstairs bedrooms which is also where my office is. I have 2 litter boxes for my cat, one in garage that he prefers. The other is in the basement bathroom, where I can keep the door shut (Ive caught sisters dog eating litter covered turds). Our neighborhood is very safe and quiet. I have a reflective sash I wear out at night (this summer I was nearly ran over by an SUV when it was dark). The dogs usually sleep on the floor in my room and it's OK if they sleep on the bed, I am not concerned about fur. If the dog stinks, I can give them a bath either downstairs in the wash tub or upstairs in the bathtub. If they stay longer and start to stink, I will bathe them, because everyone feels better after a bath.

“We were up for a few days and our old boy, Bowie had recently had some medical issues that we needed him to have a little extra love while we were off doing things and we would bring him back daily when done running. We didn't expect this to be a relaxing spa vacation for him! He was showered with love and pampered more that he is at home! I think he thinks I'm a bad dog dad now! Tawny took him for multiple walks every day, brushed him, gave him treats, and just loved him. He even got in the puppy pool which he doesn't do at home! I absolutely could not have asked for a better person to care for our baby. I highly recommend Tawny and next time we're up here if we need someone to watch one of our animals, we know EXACTLY who we're calling! Thank you Tawny for being such a loving person for our Bow-Bear! You're the BEST!!!”

About: With 30 years of dog‑care experience, I’ve done it all—groomer’s apprentice, breeder house‑sitter, and professional treat‑dispenser. Your pup gets a work‑from‑home buddy, a fenced yard for maximum zoomies, and all the cuddles they can handle. Special needs? Meds? Extra attention? I’ve got it covered. Basically, your dog’s about to live their best life. Pet care fits naturally into my day because I work from home, so I’m able to give dogs consistent attention from morning to night. With 30 years of experience—including working as a groomer’s apprentice and house‑sitting for dog breeders—caring for pups is part of my everyday rhythm. I take regular breaks for potty trips, playtime, and zoomies in the fenced yard, and I offer both daycare and boarding, depending on what your pup needs. Your dog’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I provide a secure home environment, a safely enclosed yard for outdoor fun, and plenty of cozy indoor spaces for rest and snuggles. I’m experienced with medications, special‑needs care, and senior pups, and I treat every dog like my own—patient, calm, and attentive. You can trust that your pup will receive reliable, loving care and a true home‑away‑from‑home experience.

About: I am a loving and dependable person; a wife and stay-at-home mom of 3 children. I live in a smoke-free environment with three responsible, independent children that adore animals. I have had past experience with pets but have none in our home at this time. This leaves room for lots of attention and love for the dogs I care for. With attention to detail accompanied by a fun-loving family, I would provide a safe and caring place for your fur-baby! I homeschool, as a stay-at-home mom, which allows me to be available most days, having time to care for your pet as needed. Need to travel for the holidays? I am a home-body during most special seasons and may be available to watch your pet. I have a fenced in back yard with ample space to move around. I live in a smaller, quieter development with lots of dog-loving neighbors! I am willing to administer needed medications (oral and topical) per pet's daily protocol.

About: When it comes to animals, I love them all. I have extensive experience working with animals especially at a non profit no kill rescue that is unique giving everyone a chance no matter if they need high amounts of medical care. With that background, I'm comfortable caring for cats and dogs with medical needs, of all ages. I am most comfortable with small and medium dogs that are easy going and like going for walks! I work remote from home and have flexibility to adjust as needed for weekdays and weekends. I do need advance planning for anything more than a drop in. It's deeply personal to come into someone's home and care for their fur baby, I understand completely! Part of the planning process involves asking questions about your needs, preferences, expectations so we are in the same page!

In my experience, every home is run differently, and every pet sitting job is unique, so I always follow the pet parent’s schedule and instructions.

About: I have several years of dog and house-sitting experience through word-of-mouth referrals, caring for pets during trips ranging from a few days to a week and a half. I strive to find what works for each pet as an individual. I have experience caring for elderly dogs, administering oral medication, and working with multiple pets. I’ve cared for a range of dogs—from picky eaters and nervous, anxious dogs that preferred a consistent schedule and energetic dogs with mischievous streaks. Working with such different dogs has helped me become flexible and responsive to a wide range of temperaments and care requirements. Past clients have repeatedly trusted me with their pets and homes, and many have returned for additional bookings. Through these experiences, I have followed detailed care instructions, monitored pets for changes in behavior, provided excercise and affection, maintained a safe environment, and communicated reliably with owners. This means that when a situation is worrisome, I will err on the side of caution as well as informing you. My goal is always to make pets feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away and for you to feel secure your pets are safe and in responsible, good hands. As a college student who comes back home for the breaks, my schedule is relatively wide open. However, I also appreciate still having some time here and there even while on sits to spend with family, should it be possible. When caring for pets in a client's home, I always prioritize following any provided instructions and established routines. In this respect, I especially appreciate detailed care notes, as they help me provide the most consistent and personalized care possible. Every pet is different, and I believe clients know their pets best. At the same time, I use good judgment and common-sense safety practices to ensure pets remain safe, healthy, and comfortable while their parents are away. I am patient, attentive, and observant, and I make it a priority to learn each pet's personality, preferences, and needs. Whatever that means, I aim to adapt my care to what will help each pet feel most at ease. I also value staying in contact with pet parents throughout their time away, as much as their availability and preferences allow. Regular updates help provide peace of mind to everyone, and if any questions or unexpected situations arise, I can communicate promptly so clients stay informed and involved in decisions regarding their pet's care. My goal is to create a safe and familiar environment where pets can thrive and clients can feel confident that their pets and homes are being well cared for.

About: I have over two years of hands-on experience providing loving, dependable pet care, including drop-in visits, in-home dog sitting, and dog walking. I’m lucky to have several amazing regular clients and truly enjoy building strong bonds with the pets I care for. One of my absolute favorites is Remy, a playful white Labrador I’ve been trusted to watch for over a year, he always keeps me smiling! I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have four of my own, so caring for pups is second nature to me. I’m passionate about making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles, I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I am currently in school in the mornings and work in the afternoons however I am usually done by 6 giving me the whole night to hang out with your pup! I love being able to give dogs my full attention, whether that means extra playtime, long walks, or just keeping them company and making them feel comfortable and loved. Because I have four pups of my own at home, I do not offer pet sitting in my home. However, I am very comfortable caring for pets in your home, where they can stay in their familiar environment. I’m happy to keep your home tidy, follow your routines, and provide your pups with plenty of companionship, attention, and love while you’re away.

I have grown up with a fear reactive dog, so I have experience with reading dog’s body language and reacting accordingly.

About: There’s something about a dog’s loyalty, personality, and the way they become such an important part of our lives that I’ve always cherished. My love for dogs began at a very young age; at just six years old, I had a Poodle of my own and was already learning the responsibility and joy of caring for a dog. Throughout my life, I’ve proudly had dogs of my own and cared for friends’ and family members’ dogs while they were away. We recently lost our beloved German Shepherd/Husky to old age, and although his loss was difficult, it reminded me how much joy dogs bring into our lives. I would love the opportunity to share that extra love and attention with another amazing dog while their family is away. I’m a lifelong dog lover with more than two decades of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments, ranging from 2 to 165 pounds. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality, quirks, routines, and preferences and tailoring my care to help them feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I care for every dog as if they were my own, providing plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, affection, and walks when weather permits and with the owner’s approval. My 60-by-55-foot fully fenced yard provides plenty of space to play, explore, and enjoy multiple potty breaks throughout the day. I also work from home with a flexible schedule, allowing me to be present and attentive to my furry guests. Whether your pup loves cuddles or prefers personal space, I’m happy to follow their lead and respect their individual needs. With experience caring for dogs who are anxious, fearful, reactive, or more challenging to handle, I’ve developed strong observational skills and can recognize signs of stress, discomfort, illness, or injury. I’m also comfortable administering medications, following specific care instructions and routines, and providing basic first aid when needed. Most importantly, I love spoiling my furry guests because, in my opinion, they’re on vacation too! 🐾 You’re welcome to bring their regular food, treats, favorite toys, bed, blanket, or other comfort items to help make their stay familiar and special. I’m dependable in all weather conditions and always prioritize the safety, health, and comfort of every guest. If my calendar shows that I’m unavailable, please feel free to reach out anyway. I’m flexible whenever possible and happy to see if we can find a time that works. I look forward to meeting you and welcoming your furry family member into our home! ****** ******** ***** I’m proud to share that I’ve had the opportunity to volunteer with Can Do Canines and regularly participate in dog-related events. These experiences have been incredibly rewarding, and I’m grateful to be able to contribute to the care, training, and support of these remarkable dogs as they prepare to change lives. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to be readily available and provide pets with plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. I also have a fully fenced-in yard, which is ideal for multiple potty breaks, outdoor playtime, and exercise throughout the day. Caring for a pet comes down to consistently meeting their physical, emotional, and health needs. The exact details vary depending on the animal, of course! -I have a 60-by-55-foot fully fenced yard and pet gates in the house (if needed); -I love to go for walks with pets; -I love to cuddle and play with pets if that’s what they are into; -I feed them a balanced diet per owners’ instructions. Fresh water is always available. -I’d love to comb them if tools are provided from owners; -I provide lots of daily update pictures and/or videos; -And would be open to any reasonable requests owners might have.

About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life and have always been a natural animal lover — animals tend to love me just as much as I love them. I currently have a few cats and live with my best friend, who has a dog of her own that I help care for regularly (she’s basically mine too!). I also have hands-on experience working with dogs from spending a couple of years at a doggy daycare, where I learned how to care for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m currently a server, and with it being the slow season right now, my availability is very flexible and open for most days and times. I love caring for pets in their own homes, where they feel safe and comfortable. I follow all routines, feeding schedules, and special instructions so your pet gets consistent care and plenty of attention. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just snuggles, I make sure your pet feels happy, loved, and well looked-after while you’re away.

“Dayjah came through for us last minute for 4th of July weekend. She was reliable, friendly, had great communication, and our dog had so much fun at her house. Dayjah hosted several dogs that weekend, and provided a “summer camp” experience for our dog complete with pool and hose play. He came home tired and happy. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.”

We really appreciated her flexibility in timing dropping him off and picking him up - we unexpectedly needed to extend our booking an extra night, and was happy to accommodate this last-minute. I recommend Brittany without reservation - we'll definitely be re-booking in the future!”

Her house was very clean too! We're planning to bring our dog to her house again in the future!”

“Kristen and her family were incredible to our dogs. They were very accommodating to their needs. They allowed them to chew up the toys we brought for them and were cool with the mess that came along with it. The treats that were provided were given out. Kristen was very flexible with drop off pick up time. I was pleasantly surprised to see my dogs were not the excised to see me when I returned to pick them up. Which truly tells me that they were given a ton of love attention and affection. I’m very thankful that they watched our dogs. I definitely will use them again.”

About: Hello! I’m Ross. I’ve had pets my whole life, and dogs for the last several years! I’m an avid upland hunter and have two Labrador Retrievers, one that I hunt with and the other one failed bird dog school! Oh well, she’s a great family dog! I have ample experience handling dogs and have a unique understanding into their behavior having trained a hunting dog and working with him in the field. We are a family of 5 that love dogs and would love to give your family member a fun and relaxing stay in our home. I work from my home, running my own brand and design business, which gives me ample time to exercise and potty break your dog! My labs love to play and love all dogs, and are always looking for new friends! Let me know if we can accommodate you! I currently run my own business from my home, so I have ample time to accommodate your dog’s schedule with regular potty breaks and eating or medication times. I have 2 friendly Labrador Retrievers that love to play and get along with any and all friendly dogs! Our yard is not fenced, but if your dog is a risk for running or is skiddish we will use a leash at all times for walks and potty breaks.
