“Our boy did an overnight with Krista, she took great care of him, you can tell she is a dog liver! Lots of walks and playtime with her doggies, definitely recommend”
“Eric has been amazing with our dog Marley and we feel very confident that she will be happy and safe when we leave her under his care. It has been a game changer for us, allowing us to take trips out of town without worry. He always sends us photos of how she is doing and is very easy to communicate with. Hands down, five stars.”
“Grace and her family and care are wonderful. We have never had to leave our dog with anyone so we were quite nervous on how it would go. Sadie had a great time and came back tired but very happy. Grace communicated with us daily (including pictures) so we missed our pup but felt very secure that she was doing well. Highly recommend and we will be back when we need someone for our girl”
“Amazing as always. Ruby is my go to when I need a sitter. My dog loves her time with Ruby and is very comfortable. This last time my dog didn't even bother saying goodbye just took off to the back yard to play so I know she feels safe and cared for there.”
“Mike & Nikki did a fabulous job with Rosie. She had so much fun taking walks everyday and being spoiled. We highly recommend Mike & Nikki. We will definitely be using them again.”

“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”
“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.”
“Elizabeth is awesome! She was so patient and kind with my really nervous dog and went above and beyond to communicate with me and problem-solve as my pup presented her with some unforeseen challenges. I can’t imagine that there’s a better dog caregiver out there.”
“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.”

About: I have grown up with pets most of my life and will love on your fur babies as I loved mine. Puppies to Seniors will be extra spoiled in my care. I am available daily, M-F (Mondays and Wednesdays after 2:30pm) and some weekends. My schedule can be very flexible. Whether you want me to visit your pet at home for some love or take them out to play and walk, I can help. We currently do not have any pets as we recently lost our 12yr old, Bri. But our fur babes were spoiled. I will respect your rules for your own pet.
“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!”
“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!”
“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!!”
About: My experience with cats runs deep, from maintaining pristine cat areas during my shelter volunteer work to previously caring for my own special needs cat who required specific aromatherapy and lighting adjustments for his comfort. I understand how crucial a clean, calm environment is for feline wellbeing and recognize that each cat has unique preferences and routines. As a working professional who's cared for various pets throughout my life, I'll ensure your cat receives attentive, personalized care while staying comfortable in their familiar home environment.
“Jodi was fabulous! We took the dogs on a short walk during our “meet and greet” and she asked many questions making sure the dogs’ needs were met. Communication was excellent and she took our dogs for a wonderful walk while in her care. We will use her again and highly recommend her services.”

“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!”
“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.”
“It was immediately apparent that this was a family that loved animals. We felt very confident and comforted to have them care for our dogs. A delightful couple who have recused many animals and are very environmentally conscious. Great experience!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have experience caring for pets for friends, family, and neighbors. I’m responsible, patient, and always make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I’m currently home from college for the summer, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets during the day, evenings, and weekends. I always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable while sticking to their normal routine as much as possible. I’m attentive, responsible, and happy to follow any specific instructions for your pet’s care.
About: Hey there! My name is Jennifer, and I absolutely love animals! I have been lucky enough to have doggos in my home pretty much my whole life. I’ve also volunteered at rescues, so I have some experience with many different dog breeds, personalities, and temperaments. I specifically have experience with caring for short-nosed breeds, such as English and French bulldogs, pugs, etc and all that entails. Deaf dogs, senior dogs, medical dogs, puppies…. No problem! If you have to be out of the house, whether for work, vacation, or other commitments leaving your pet alone for a stretch, I’m available to make sure they get some attention and time outside while you do what you need to do! I’ll take care of your fur kiddos, so they feel loved and happy. We can go for a nice long walk to get some energy out, play fetch, or just bum around the house while I give your baby all my attention. I’ve had experience with dogs big and small, rescues who weren’t social with other dogs and needed to be walked away from other pups, giving medicine.... you name it! I’d be happy to take social dogs out to parks, or on longer stays, I’m happy to take your pup paddle boarding or kayaking if you’d like. As long as I know what you’d like for your pup, I’ll do everything in my power to make that happen. Thanks for stopping by! If my schedule is showing free, I am home and off work. Happy to swing by and help out with whatever pet care you need! I may be available other dates and times too, dependent on my work schedule. I am always cognizant of the environment when out with your pet, watching for other animals and making sure the pavement isn’t too hot in the warmer months. For the short-nosed breeds, limiting time out in the heat and making sure for plenty of water after!
About: I have a ton of experience training and caring for animals, mostly dogs, as I have 2 German Shepherds of my own. Both were trained and raised by me. I have always loved animals + taking care of them, and I also volunteer at a Horse Rescue Ranch when I have the time. I am also going to pursue a career in Veterinary Medicine !! Right now I am busy with High School Sports, so I am not working for an actual company at the moment but I will definitely have the time after school and on weekends! :) I have taken care of many pets for people while they are away or busy. I always treat them as my own, and make sure they get enough physical exercise along with just play time and or anything else.
About: Having spent my early years with our family dogs, I have come to an appreciation of the anxiety and work families go through in order to go on a trip without their beloved pets! Keeping your family pets in their own home reduces the stress on the family and the pet! We own a seasonal resort so we have limited availability for overnights June/July/August but are available for walking & attention throughout the day. Our resort is closed is mid-September through mid-May when we house-sit as well as care for our neighbors pets in their own home. Ideally we would like to meet the family and your pet before agreeing to home & pet sitting as we want a good match. Services offered: drop in care, pet walking, house sitting. Because we live in rural Minnesota, our fees reflect the additional transportation costs going to your home for services. When our seasonal resort is closed I am available most days and weekends. I have regular families on my schedule but only take one family reservation at a time. Prior to pet sitting in your home, I require meeting the owner and the pets. This will determine if we are a good match and the family can be confident your fur baby is well taken care.
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: 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.
