“Chris was awesome! Super commutative, sent lots of cute pictures and videos, gave our 2 dogs lots of snuggles and long walks in the woods! His dogs played really well with our dogs so it was basically a dog party! Bonus: even gave them both a bath (& checked with me beforehand to make sure it was ok) so they smelled all clean at pickup! Thank you!”
“Our city dog had a fantastic time getting to roam around off leash (with our permission) and play with the other dogs Eric was hosting. Eric was communicative and responsive when we messaged. Otherwise, we were fully confident our dog was having as much fun on his vacation as us humans were having on ours.”
“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!”
“Jennifer is the real deal- a true animal person, dedicated to giving quality care to our beloved pets. My cat Timmy had never gone to someone else’s house before this- Jennifer made him feel right at home, offering a calm and loving environment that I was able to see first-hand via her amazing videos. I feel so lucky to have found this option. She will make future traveling easy and stress-free!”
“We couldn’t have asked for better care for our older, little dog. Ruby treated Jasmine like part of the family giving much attention and care. We are so grateful and highly recommend Ruby to anyone looking for truly caring, reliable dog care.”
“There is not enough things to say about my dogs stay with Mike and Nicki. From drop off to pick up the communication was great, and I knew my dog was in good hands with all the exercise he was getting and pictures I got throughout the stay. I would recommend them to anyone and will be looking for them next time I need a dog sitter in the area!”
“Kay's home was perfect for Mabel. After spending a weekend at a nice dog hotel, we discovered Mabel thrives more with the home vibe and more personal human interaction. Kay provided a beautiful setting on acreage that's a mix of safety with space. I liked that there weren't multiple dogs other than their friendly golden retriever Brandi that Mabel became friends with. Kay kept us updated daily with words and pictures which I really appreciate. I highly recommend Kay and will definitely go back!”
“We had an awesome experience boarding our pup Wendy with Grace. She took us in as a very last-minute booking, and was flexible throughout the process. Most importantly, Grace took great care of Wendy, who came back to us happy and exhausted from lots of fun playtime with her new doggie friends. Grace has a big fenced-in yard for the dogs to play in, and it’s clear she treats each dog she cares for like family. Communication was quick and easy, and she sent regular updates and photos throughout. We would not hesitate to book again with Grace, and recommend her enthusiastically to anyone looking for pet care in the area!”
“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.”
About: My husband and I have fostered over 30 dogs in the past 4 years. I’ve been around and caring for dogs for over 20 years, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, including multiple dogs at once. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, medications, cleaning up after pets, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I’ve also fostered dogs, so I understand how important patience, consistency, and making pets feel safe can be. I treat every pet like they’re my own and will keep you updated while you’re away! I work Monday through Thursday during the day with a very flexible schedule, so I’m available for pet care during the day, evenings, Fridays, and weekends. I’m also available for drop-ins, walks, and overnight stays depending on my schedule. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and give them plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fenced yard and a safe, welcoming home where pets can relax and feel comfortable. I have friendly dogs of my own who are used to other animals, but I’m also happy to keep pets separated if that makes them more comfortable. I’m comfortable with crates, feeding routines, walks, medications, and special instructions. I’ll treat your pets like family and keep you updated while they’re in my care.
“Nick took excellent care of our dog over a long weekend. We appreciated the clear communication, frequent updates and pictures, and flexibility. Nick gave our dog lots of walks and outside time and was also available for a quick meet up with us before the stay to make sure it was a good fit for his home with two dogs of his own.”
“Samantha and family took excellent care of our German Shepherd and Yorkie, we will definitely use Samantha again, our dogs were taken care of like family. Can’t say enough good about Samantha and family”

“It is obvious that Amy loves our 2 cats. They were well cared for by Amy who is very trustworthy. Our home was in good order when we returned from our trip. This was the second time we asked Amy to care for our cats and we will call on her again if needed.”
“Shaelie was amazing once again. She is so attentive and patient with my bunny, always communicating well and takes lots of photos which I love. I know my bunny enjoys her visits while I am away.”
“So happy we found Rachel to watch our cat while we were out of town. Rachel is very reliable and was willing to do a meet and greet before we left, which was important to us. We will definitely use Rachel again when the need arises!!”
“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!”
About: I live with two cats—one’s mine, and one’s my family’s—so I totally get the cat life. Whether your kitty wants to play, nap, or just be left alone but still feel safe, I’m all about meeting them on their terms. I’m super patient, gentle, and know how to read their mood. I’ll make sure they’re comfy, fed, and get plenty of love (if they want it!). I pet sit for my grandparents cats when they are on vacation.
About: My family and I love pets! We would love to have your dog stay with us and enjoy all the comforts of home! We have children who are sure to give your pet loads of extra attention. I am a (mostly) stay-at-home mom! This means your pet will have near constant companionship while in our care. They will be loved, cared for, and treated as a member of the family. We have a fenced in yard and go for a lot of walks! Your pet will be hanging out with a family, not left alone in a kennel.

“Highly recommend Jennifer for your furry pets! We have a four month old lab and I wasn’t comfortable leaving him at a kennel. Staying with Jennifer was like him staying at home with comfortable surroundings and more personal care being taken care of in her home. Will definitely use her again!”
“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: I love all cats and dogs! I have 3 dogs and 6 cats of my own. I have had dogs and cats all of my life and I just like meeting pets and their owners. I have no problems or concerns with any breeds. I feel comfortable administering medications. I am able to follow specific directions and can handle a variety of emergency situations. I am a true animal lover and my pets are my family. I would treat your pet as such when you are not with them. I am a teacher, so during the summer months, I am basically available 24 hours a day if needed. When school is in session, I am unavailable from 7 am to 4 pm on days when school is in session. I have 5 acres with a small lake. We do not have a fenced yard, but there are woods around our house that separate us from our closest neighbors, who live in the Twin Cities area and use the house as a cabin. My pets are my family, and I spoil them. Our animals are allowed on the furniture. I have a 6.5-year-old female yellow Lab mix, a 3.5-year-old male pitbull, and now a puppy, Taurus. All of my animals are fixed. I have 3 male cats who live inside, ages 6 to 9. We also have 3 cats: a mama (age unknown) and her son and daughter (who will be 1 year old in the summer of 2026), who are outside/shop cats. The cats are not declawed. I have 2 adult boys who love animals, as does my husband. We rarely have visitors, and those we do have are family or very close friends. We have a gate to separate our upstairs and downstairs if needed.
About: My house is a great place for dogs to stay in the Brainerd Lakes area, I have plenty of room in the house, and have 13 acres of wooded property for them to enjoy when we go outside! ***Fall 2023 update**** I now have a fenced in backyard to utilize with pups coming over to visit! I have had a dog of my own growing up for 12 years. Currently, though I do not have any dogs. I used to volunteer part-time to train future service puppies for the blind for over 3 years. ( I have worked with 9 or 10 dogs in the Leader Dog for the Blind program) I have a flexible schedule, and I'm always willing to figure out a solid plan with potential people who need a sitter for their awesome furry friends. I am capable of working and looking after dogs with medical needs as well :). I have worked in probation, law enforcement, corrections, and mental health for over 11 years now. I am a very energetic person who enjoys exercising, and enjoy bringing dogs for walks. I have been on Rover for 4 years I enjoy traveling the world in my free time. ***I respond to requests generally within 10 minutes*** I have a pretty flexible schedule so I will do my best to assist with whatever drop off or pick up time you may have :). I now have a fenced in area in my backyard. My driveway is about a 1/4 mile from my house to the road so traffic is not a concern. I can crate if requested.

About: i have dog sat for multiple people and love all dogs/ cats. i have experience with puppies and also older dogs. i would prefer to not have the dog be aggressive if possible. i have also taken care of a couple cats and would feel comfortable doing that also! Right now i am working around 30 hours a week but i work during the day so i’ll be able to let them out and i don’t work full 8 hour shifts so they wouldn’t be home alone too long! I will make sure to follow all the instructions you give me while taking care of your pets, because i know they’re your family and i wouldn’t want anything to happen to them.
About: I am comfortable with puppy sitting, I pet sat for more than 5 family’s and along with this gig I am also a professional nanny! I work part time so this fits right into my schedule and I’m also able to stay over night if needed on a request basis Whether I’m staying overnight or stopping by for a drop-in, I care for your pets like they’re my own. I stick to their routine as closely as possible—meals, walks, playtime, cuddles, or just quiet companionship—whatever helps them feel safe and comfortable in their own space. I’m gentle, patient, and always respectful of your home, keeping things clean and just as you left them. I also make sure you stay in the loop with updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is in loving, capable hands—whether it’s for the night or just a quick check-in.
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.
About: My background in training dogs through agility classes, working with shy and special-needs animals, fostering cats, and managing dogs of all sizes at a daycare makes me uniquely qualified. I’ve also cared for farm animals, including geese, and I’m skilled in pet grooming. My patience, reliability, and ability to adapt to each pet’s unique personality ensure your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for. I have a steady work-life balance, working Monday-Friday from 6 AM to 3 PM. Pet care fits easily into my routine, as I am available for early morning, evening, and weekend visits. On Mondays, I travel to Duluth for agility training, so I can take pet-sitting jobs in that area. I’m also willing to drive within a 100-mile radius of my home to provide care, ensuring flexibility for pet owners who need reliable and loving service. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s. I take the time to understand each pet’s needs, personality, and routine to create a stress-free and comfortable environment. I’m experienced with shy animals and work patiently to help them feel safe. In a client’s home, I respect their space while ensuring their pets receive attentive care, from feeding and playtime to maintaining a clean environment, including litter box upkeep. Whether it’s keeping a routine, providing enrichment, or offering extra care for special needs pets, I always prioritize their well-being.
