“We are extremely happy with John and the service we got. We got a number of pictures and we think he might have given our dog a bath. We would give more stars if we could. Highly recommend.”
“Carter was patient with Dutch and let him get comfortable when we got there. He stayed in contact with me while I was gone and was flexible when my return plans were disrupted by bad weather. I would recommend Carter when boarding a dog that does better when around others, both 2 and 4 legged.”
“Wonderful. If you’re nervous about leaving your pets in the care of a stranger, look no further than Gabrielle and family. I have two one year old pups/dogs, Waboos and Finley, and had the best experience ever leaving my babies in their care. They sent me updates and photos throughout my trip. I am incredibly grateful. I will definitely seek Gabrielle’s services again the next time I have to leave town without Waboos and Finley in tow!”
About: Hi, I'm Rick and have been around dogs most of my life. Growing up, I always had at least one dog and most of the time some cats. I had a short petless period after the kids graduated from high school. However, it wasn't long until I got a young, exuberant black lab. I spent hours on the dock throwing sticks for her and watching her launch off the end of the dock. She was crazy for the water! Unfortunately she passed away from cancer. The grief was awful, and I told myself no more dogs. But in several months I realized I'm a dog person, and was lucky enough to get Banjo, a collie/lab/poodle mix (Colabradoodle). Banjo and I attended multiple obedience schools, therapy training and he and I are now a certified therapy team. He and I have volunteered at the hospital every Friday for almost 9 years, and we've been in almost every nursing home, assisted living facility and clinic in town. Banjo and I are also a certified BARC team (Bemidji Area Reading Canines) which brings us to most schools in Bemidji, as well as the library and Boys and Girls Club. The kids come to read to him....or I read....or we make up stories from the pictures....or we just talk and pet Banjo. He's also an AKC Good Citizen. He is a gentle, submissive gentleman who loves people, especially kids, and gets along well with other dogs. He's 10 1/2 years old. I'm an active retiree but am flexible so if I'm watching your dog he/she will be my priority. I have one dog, who gets along well with people and other dogs. When I care for your dog, he/she will be treated like family. I have a fenced yard for play and trails in my woods to take walks. I will not allow your dog to be unleashed in an area that is not fenced. We live in the country so it's quiet and peaceful.
“Elizabeth was great with my two dogs. Very welcoming of my dogs into her family and home. Gave my younger dog 1/1 attention when he needed it. Sent pictures and videos of my dogs. Wonderful experience and wonderful family!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats all my life. My experience with most animals is pretty well. I use stern commands and also make sure that the pets that I take care of feel like they’re right at home. I am a full time teacher and on the weekends I bartend. I make sure that my dog gets well taken care of during the week by walking her before work or after work. I make sure that she gets played, fed and walked. I make sure my dog is well taken care of and I abide by whatever the client expects from me. Trust is huge in being able to care of someone’s precious baby.
About: I have had a dog in my household my whole life, and now have my own that I solely take care of. I understand the struggle of working full time and having to leave your pets alone, I want to be able to ease that worry for you with my services. I currently work part time 4 days a week, so I will have time to work around that schedule. I also have my own dog to take care of, but if you are okay with your dog going on walks and socializing with mine than I have plenty of time to take care of your dog too! I have one friendly dog at home who would love to go on walks or to the dog park with your dog! She is very social with other dogs and does well at gauging how another pup is willing to play with her.

About: I’m the sitter who speaks fluent cat. From spicy kittens to dignified seniors, I handle every feline mood with patience, humor, and a healthy respect for their royal status. I notice the tiny things—like preferred sunbeams, quirky habits, and ‘do not touch’ zones—and keep routines calm and consistent. I have my own kitty at home who I take care of and I will treat every cat like they’re my own.
“Helen was really great with Susie and got her to warm up very quickly despite her being shy. She took great care of her and was a great communicator. I would recommend her!”
“Alexander was excellent with watching over our cats. Even though they were shy and skittish, they were well taken care of and warmed up quickly. We felt comfortable and safe knowing that Alexander was taking care of our cats. Medication was delivered on schedule and provided to our cat who needed it on a strict schedule, even though Hades really hated getting the medication. Extra effort was given above and beyond what we expected.”
About: I was raised on a farm with all sorts of animals to take care of. I have always had a best friend/roommate dog or cat, and currently live with a chatty, lovely 15-yr old torti female cat. They are all very familiar with other dogs, cats, and guinea pigs, and socialize regularly with family and guests' pets. I work remotely from home, but very flexible with location. I also have access to a reliable vehicle! Overall, my pets wake me up in the morning to ask for treats thanks to being absolutely spoiled, and then remind me to feed them all the time, just in case I forget. They're pampered and thriving. Pet care is a very regularly and well-done part of my life. Farm life also included some hospitality amenities and a military family, so as now as an adult/person/employee/friend I'm able to use my experience from growing up and traveling widely by respectfully being in another's space and making friends along the way. Together your pets and I can go on nice play walks by a lake and dog-friendly parks. Cats obviously do whatever they want and outside is optional.
“Clair is so wonderful with our pets. She keeps their anxiety low and makes them feel loved. Clair is trustworthy and kind. She communicates really well. We hope Clair can always pet sit for us!”
“Rachel did a great job with my cat, Susie, and offered her lots of affection and care. She followed all instructions and gave me updates when needed. I can tell she cares a lot about Susie’s well-being and I would recommend her to anyone. This is the second time she has watched Susie and I hope to continue working with her in the future!”
“Kristin was a great fit for us. She provided the perfect care we were looking for for our cat. We were thankful she was available over a holiday weekend. She dropped in to feed our cat and clean his litter box each day and also was willing to vacuum up his scattered litter and clean up his spilled water. Would hire Kristin again!”
About: I’ve had cats in my home since I was a young child. I understand and empathize with all different kinds of kitties. Young, old, grumpy, and ragdolls. I can give them as much or as little love and attention they need. Willing to cat sit in their home since I know it’s probably where they are most comfortable. 😄 Willing to be patient and do the leg work when it comes to taking care of your babies! ☺️
About: I have been around dogs almost every day of my life :) I have worked with all kinds of breeds! I absolutely love them and I love spending my time around them. I am open most weekends and after 3pm on weekdays! Although I am able to come home at anytime from 7am-3pm for walks, bathroom breaks, or eating. I have two other dogs in the home to keep other dogs company. If there is any issues with other dogs I have a nice garage to keep either my or other dogs comfortable!
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life! I can offer just about everything when caring for your puppers, I absolutely adore dogs. I have a 5 year old black lab, Ryker. He’s my first born haha, and just recently adopted a female black lab, Oakley. We are thinking she’s around 6. I am married, my husband Nicholas loves animals just as much as I do. We are both Marine Corps Veterans. I’ve cared for dogs as soon as from when they were born. I love taking my dog on walks and to the dog park so I would love caring for others fur babies when you are in need of someone to help out! I am currently working from home so I can watch your dogs at any time, my schedule is pretty open on nights, weekends and holidays as well. I have extra dishes big or small. I do not have a fenced in yard but I always make sure dogs that I’m watching are on a leash. Regardless of how well behaved the dog is, I do not want them running off or getting hurt.
“Nancy to the rescue! One day into our trip I realized I had booked Nancy for the incorrect days. When I contacted her she she modified our reservation and went over the same day to take care of our girls. We appreciate her so much!”

“Wonderful experience! Beth and her husband saved the day!! Such a great team! Not only did they ensure our dog Nora was taken care of, they also went out of their way to help us get into our locked car in the cold. Super helpful and kind. Our dog Nora had a great time playing with their dogs. Thanks again😊”

“I don’t know where to begin to express how wonderful Amy has been to Daisi the past year and a half…Daisi has been so lovingly cared for on her weekly visits to Amy and her sweet Oakley. ♥️ Amy is the kind of person that I can trust completely to care for my busy Goldendoodle. I know when Daisi is with Amy she is a very happy dog‼️ I am so lucky to have found Amy who is always very accommodating with my various schedules and enjoy her kindness to both me and Daisi🐕🥰”
About: Hi, I’m John! I’m here to help fill the gap for you. *Note* while typically I mainly do dog boarding, I am available to do drop in visits and dog walking on weekends or in the evening if needed. If you would prefer a meet and greet before you bring them over for a long stay, let me know what time works best for! I offer pick up services for your pet if you don’t have time to drop them off as long as you are within a reasonable distance and it doesn’t conflict with my work schedule. Let me know how I can help! I’m able to give meals and potty breaks every two hours throughout the day or as needed if your pooch needs more attention. Let me know how I can better help you! We’re pet people, too. I allow pets on my furniture. I feed my dog in the morning but can do as many meals as you require and can feed your pup separately if they’re good aggressive.

About: Hello! I have grown up with pets my entire life and have spent the past couple of years learning how to care for cats and dogs. I have helped raise dogs from puppies to adulthood with everything from grooming to exercise. The breeds I have the most experience with are Labrador and Maltese dogs. For training, I have experience both in training my own dogs and carrying on the training set by the owners of the dogs I watch over. I love to exercise with pets and enjoy walking with them alongside playing with toys. I have no preferences when it comes to pets as I will happily care for and love them all! I work a part time job with a very flexible schedule so I am easily able to fit pet care into my weekly schedule alongside care for my own animals. I am experienced with both crate-trained and free roaming pets. I am also keen on pet welfare to ensure the animal’s physical safety and happiness.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals of all kinds since I was just a tot at 4 years old. I have pets of my own, one of which requires twice daily medication, so I am well versed and experienced in medication administration. I do currently have a job that, on days I am scheduled, work 5am-5pm. Outside of those hours I love to spend time with my own pets and would love to expand that to spending time with even more furry friends! I always like to make sure my home is safe and “pet proof,” never leaving out any plants, cleaners, food, or anything that may harm pets in any way. Ensuring they eat their meals and get any needed medication in a timely matter is vital to me.
About: As a lifelong dog owner with hands-on experience in a veterinary clinic, I bring a deep commitment to each pet’s health, happiness, and safety. My love for dogs runs deep, and I’m a highly responsible adult who values the trust pet families place in me. I care for every dog as if they were my own, ensuring they feel comfortable, loved, and well-cared-for at all times. Pet care is part of my everyday life, and I wouldn’t have it any other way! My days are filled with tail wags, play breaks, feeding routines, and, of course, cuddle time. I happily work around each pet’s schedule, making sure they get all the love and attention they need to feel at home. Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy—and it’s always the best part of my day! Hello and thank you for considering me for your pet care! Whether in my home or yours, I focus on creating a safe, loving environment where pets feel secure and comfortable. I follow their regular routines—feeding, exercise, and playtime—so they’re relaxed and happy. I understand how important peace of mind is for you, and I keep your well-being in mind too. That’s why I provide regular updates and photos, so you always know your pet is safe and content. Safety is my top priority; I make sure spaces are pet-proofed and carefully watch for any health concerns. With experience in a vet clinic and as a lifelong dog owner, I treat every pet as if they were my own.

About: I have experience not just with dogs and cats but with farm animals (goats, horses, chickens, etc) and small mammals (rabbits, mice, guinea pigs, etc). For dogs, I have experience with everything from young puppies to senior citizens and understand all their individual needs. I have helped out family and friends with their beloved pets over the years. I drive school bus so I work from 6-8:30 am and 2-5pm but have plenty of time between/after those hours to spend with your pet. I treat your pets as my own when I am in their house (and I have 6 dogs and 3 cats that I would rope the moon for).

About: I have grown up around pets - both dogs and cats - and feel confident in providing them with the care and companionship they deserve. I have plenty of time to care for your pets. Simply let me know at least a day in advance if you require my services and they are yours. Overnight and extended services are possible. I can take your dog for a walk, play with it, give it a bath, and feed it according to what you desire. I treat animals with respect and kindness. I am only unable to accommodate your pet in my own home.

About: I have cared for all kinds of animals since I could remember, from raccoons, rats, horses, and Guinea pigs to your more normal cats and dogs and lizards. I currently have a pup so I do pet care every day all day. She is a part of my family so she is never lacking when it comes to her care and exercise. I currently live in a townhouse and I don’t have a yard so we go for long walks on the edge of town multiple times a day as well as car rides. In my clients home I use the resources they have available (big yard either fenced or not) or we will just go for walks throughout the day. I make the care of the client the priority.
