“Krista was great! She was flexible and sent cute updates. Finn came home a relaxed, happy boy. It looked like he had so much fun with her dogs! I’d definitely recommend to anyone looking for a responsible, reliable sitter. We hope to have Finn stay with Krista every time we’re in the area!”

“Grace was amazing!! It was the first time we’ve left our dog and had peace of mind. Our dog always has anxiety the times she’s had to be boarded, but with Grace she was at home away from home. Truly a blessing!! Grace is quick to respond, professional, friendly, and will take care of your pet like her own. Will definitely request to rebook in the future.”

“Nancy was amazing and in constant communication with us about our 2 babies. Our babies blended right in with her pack and seemed to have a great time!! We will definitely use Nancy again!!”

“Diane provides great care and a comfortable environment for your family dog. We were hesitant to use anyone, but found Diane truly cares about Goose and treated him as her own.”

“Ashley and family adopted Jedi as one of their own. They kept us up to date and in touch with timely texts and photos. I would not hesitate to seek out Ashley for pet sitting services in the future.”

“Mike and Niki were SO good to our Raven girl! It was evident that they loved and cared for her like she was their own. We appreciated all of the picture updates throughout the weekend! We could see how much Raven enjoyed to be around them, and we think she was a bit sad to leave them! She was spoiled with walks, hikes, and lots of play time! Thanks again for everything, Mike and Niki! We will hands down book again if we find ourselves in the area!”

“Nancy was a purrfect pet sitter for my 2 cats! I felt so at ease knowing she was caring for them and I got texts and picture updates which was great while away. They were very well taken care of! Above and beyond care from a true pet lover! I would recommend Nancy to anyone who asks!”

About: I've owned & cared for pets most of my life & can't imagine life without fur people in it! I love all of their different personalities! I am retired & am home to care for your fur babies! I love to stimulate them both physically & mentally by playing with them & talking to them! I have a big yard, not fenced but your pets safety & well being are my number one concern. I would be at there side always
“Melissa was so great with my cat Sapphire. She was able to administer her oral medication and her ear medication, which she hates. And Sapphire is scared of people she doesn't know, and Melissa was able to gain her trust within the quick drop in visit time. She was even super kind enough to bring in our packages that were dropped off while we were gone!”

“Grace was kind and generous with our cat Patches. He appreciated the extra pets and human contact while his favorite person was away. Being able to stay in his home to look out his favorite window and sit on his favorite blanket has been a nice change from his traditional boarding. The stay home option would not be available without our cat sitter! We appreciate you, Grace!”

“Nancy was amazing for my Sadie! And what an angel of a human, went above and beyond for not only my dog but myself. Very early in the morning pushed my car out when I got stuck, and still let us come back 😅 Sadie was nice and tired each day when she came home which is exactly what I hope for! Would absolutely recommend Nancy for your pups.”

“I highly recommend Janet to watch your pet 110%!! My puppy has high anxiety / separation anxiety and you never would have known it!! He had a great time 😃. Lots of pictures and videos throughout the day.”

“Buddy really enjoyed his time at Diane's-- She did an excellent job with him across the 4 days. She was communicative, sent photos and flexible with drop-off and pickup times. A perfect option for a few dog free days while visiting the Crosslake area. Will definitely reach out to her again!”

About: Many dogs are drawn to me-they sense my calm, attentive energy. It’s not just about keeping them company; I enjoy connecting with them on a deeper level. I like to incorporate training into our time together if I can, whether it’s reinforcing good behaviors or teaching fun new tricks. It keeps their minds active and builds trust between us. I am delighted to house sit for your pets, but I too, have a dog that would need to attend. She is a very well behaved 22 pounds 6 year Klee-Kai Aussie mix. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so your pet gets plenty of attention throughout the day. We’re surrounded by several dog parks and have plenty of space for walks and sniffing adventures. If your pet enjoys sunshine and fresh air, they may love lounging on my fenced patio. It’s secure, cozy, and fully visible from where I work, so I can always keep an eye on them. I have a medium crate and a gate available for a safe designated space if needed. A secure tie-out on the patio can be set up if extra precautions are necessary to prevent fence jumping.

About: Rised on a hobby farm so grew up with all sorts of animals. My very own puppy came to me when i was 12 years old and have had a fur baby pretty much since. Have had some training in puppy classes and obedience. Have work with Bark Busters of the Twin Cities. Over the last 6 plus years I have joined a pet service company based out of the Twin Cities who specialize in doggy day care, dog walks, pet sitting for vacation clients in their home and also in our home. Pets come first. Working from home gives us the flexibility to care for your pets 24/7. Plenty of exercise, play time and of course scratches and love time. When pets come into our home we treat them as if they are our own. Currently the big back yard is not fenced in, however that will be changing very soon. In the meantime we will be going on more walks and being outside with your pets on a leash. We have one furbaby, and he is definitely a spoiled baby. If for some reason our pets do not get along, we will have a separation for our pets to keep all safe and yet still make sure that your pet feels like they are at their 2nd home. We will customized your home habits as you request. Crated as needed or want by our clients.
