“Jana provided a loving and caring home for my dog while I was away. I appreciated her updates and photos. It was great for my dog to have so much affection and attention, not to mention a large fenced in yard to run around in. I highly recommend Jana!”
“Frank and Clarissa were great! They’re responsive and attentive and provided excellent updates. We were glad to have them watch our dog without any concern or incident while away.”
“Kiersa did a fantastic job with Spud. Spud has some special needs and she was wonderful with him. She truest treated him like he was her own. We felt very confident with her and will definitely will use her again.”
“William took care of our Mini Schnauzer for 11 days while we were at a national conference. He sent daily photos and words about our dog. This was a daily refresher for us knowing our dog was in good hands. Communicating with William was superb!”
“Dee Dee took such good care of our dog while we went on a family vacation. Excellent communication, updates, and pictures. I could tell our little guy received a lot of TLC and attention. Thank you!”
“Amazing Care for Our High-Energy Doodle Puppy! We couldn't have been happier with the care Jeremiah provided for our energetic doodle puppy during his three-day stay. Finding someone who can handle a young, high-energy dog is crucial, and Jeremiah exceeded all our expectations. Their home is incredibly clean and nice, and the fenced backyard was perfect for our puppy to burn off steam safely. It was a huge bonus that they have their own sweet doodle—our guy had an absolute blast making a new friend and getting constant companionship! Communication was prompt and reassuring. We received updates and very cute pictures via text throughout the stay, which made us feel completely at ease. They took him on multiple walks and ensured he received excellent care and attention the entire time. Overall, our puppy truly enjoyed his stay, and we are totally satisfied. We will absolutely be repeat customers and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a loving, responsible, and fun home for their dog!”
“Cassandra and Eric were great with our older dog! They sent us pictures every day and told us about how was doing each day! Kona loved their fenced in back yard and being able to soak up the sun on their deck and keep an eye on things. I will definitely try to use them again in the future!”
“Brittany did an amazing job watching our two dogs! She is a great communicator and sent us pictures of our pups daily. We had a great experience and would highly recommend her!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Tracy. I was genuinely so nervous boarding my dogs for the first time, and from the very beginning she made me feel completely at ease. She was warm, patient, reassuring, and so communicative the entire time. What really stood out to me is how naturally comfortable my dogs were with her. You can tell she truly understands animals and cares about them like they’re her own. She sent updates and photos, answered my anxious first-time-boarder questions with so much kindness, and made the whole experience feel safe and personal. Finding someone you can actually trust with your dogs is huge, and Tracy is absolutely that person. I’m so grateful we found her and would recommend her in a heartbeat.”
“Logan is knowledgeable and caring about all things animals. She initiated a Meet & Greet before the first time caring for our pups and it was important to her to get familiar with our family. During their first stay, she provided updates, sent pics and followed all of our care instructions. When my flight was delayed, she kindly agreed to a later pick-up.”
“Carine, Eric, and family were AMAZING with my two dogs, I got so many updates and pictures and know my girls were getting the best care while I was away. I highly recommend them for pet care!”
“Nicholas had a great time at Regina's house for the whole week. Had fun playing with her dog and spending time outside and on the deck. You can tell Regina loves the dogs and taking a good care of them. Nicholas was happy there.”
“Lori was amazing! She made Nipsey feel like a part of the family! She updated me everyday and sent pictures of Nipsey. Nipsey definitely enjoyed himself and we will most certainly book her again!”
“Our dog felt comfortable right away in their home … so comfortable we thought he might want to stay. He got a lot of attention and walks and play time. We would definitely have him stay here again.”
“Natalie and Paul made me feel so comfortable leaving our Bulldog, Sadie, with them for several days. Sadie has a little separations anxiety and just needs to be near people and when I picked her up, she didn't want to leave!! Their home felt warm and comfortable and I immediately felt good about leaving her there. Definitely will be a regular for us!! Thanks you, Natalie and Paul, for welcoming Sadie and making her (and my husband and me) feel comfortable!”

About: I have been dog and cat sitting for over 10yrs. I usually stay at the owners house. Experienced with dogs with medical issues, and high anxiety. I have given medications and have done some training. I have done just overnight stays, but have also done 3month long stays. I am also a Hairstylist and Skin care specialist. I rent a chair at a salon and make my own schedule, so my hours are flexable. I enjoy spending time with pets, but just don't live in a place were I can have one. I am not married and have no children, so I am completely available and focused on your pet. I usually like to meet you and your pet/pets about 1week before the scheduled appointment, so I can get to know you, your pet and your pets routine, feeding times, walking, medications if needed, etc. This also helps the dog recognize me when I show up, when you aren't there.
“Paige was a wonderful sitter! She was so kind and communicative, leaving us great updates and pictures from her visits. We didn’t worry about our boys at all! Would definitely recommend Paige😺”
“Emma was so great! She was prompt to respond, flexible, and kept us in the loop with really sweet updates & photos throughout. Our cat Billie seemed to warm up to her super quick & was clearly well cared for while we were away. Will absolutely book with Emma again!!”
About: Savannah here! I have three dogs and an orange kitty of my own, and i have been around animals my entire life and absolutely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and quirks. I have experience caring for senior dogs and pets that may need a little extra patience, attention, and love. I’ve also been around dog breeding for 10+ years, which has given me experience with dogs of all ages and personalities. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace, I’m happy to provide care that fits their needs! My services include: •30 minute dog walks include a fun stroll around your neighborhood to help your pup get fresh air, exercise, and a little adventure during the day. •30 minute drop-ins include potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and of course plenty of love to make sure your pet is comfortable while you're gone. You can book up to three drop-ins per day! Every pet is different, so I’m always happy to accommodate extra needs or customize visits to fit your pet’s routine. • I always offer a (free) 10-minute meet-and-greet before any drop-in or walking service. This gives us a chance to meet, helps your pet get familiar with me, and lets us go over their routine and any other needs. Meet-and-greets are not required to book with me, they are simply available if you’d like a little extra comfort and peace of mind before our first visit!
“Regina is a true gem! She went above and beyond for my cat. From starting out with in-home visits to realizing he wasn't coping well and offering to take him to her home. I am beyond grateful and highly recommend Regina.”
About: I treat every pet like my own and genuinely enjoy spending quality time with them. I’m reliable and attentive to routines, and my favorite part of pet sitting is the cuddles! Whether that’s couch time, belly rubs, keeping them company, or going on walks, I’m always happy to give pets the love, attention, and care they deserve. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I’m available for overnights, before and after school, and on weekends. I’m happy to do check-ins, walks, feedings, and spend quality time with pets to make sure they’re comfortable, exercised, and well cared for. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort when caring for pets in both my home and a client’s home. I carefully follow all routines, feeding instructions, and any special care needs. I make sure pets are always supervised, secure, and comfortable in their environment, and I keep owners updated so they can feel confident their pets are safe, loved, and well cared for!
About: I have always loved animals, whether it be a mouse or a horse. I also love to help people out, especially with dogs and cats. I’ve babysat one dog long-term (about 6 months), and I have been babysitting the same dog for about 2 years, since he was a 8 week old puppy. I also had a dog who passed away a few years ago, and had to take care of her in her senior years and help her get up as she had hip problems. In between dog-sitting, I did babysit dogs for a week, and usually wouldn’t mix dogs unless owners were okay with it. (these owners were from my work or teachers from my high school). I am currently attending college in Duluth. However, I do come home quite a bit Fridays-Mondays. In the summer, I will be very flexible though! I take dogs out on leashes as it makes me feel most comfortable but fenced in yards while watching the dog also makes me feel comfy as well.
“Leah was absolutely awesome with my cats! She shared pictures every day, and I could tell how well they were adjusting to having her come in. She fed them, changed their water, scooped litter - everything that needed to be done (even cleaning up after them when they opened up cupboards and pulled out food to eat!). I will definitely be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was little, in my household I was responsible for, feeding, bathing, walking, and caring for them. I will be freelancing over the summer so I have lots of time to care for your animals! I am free on the weekends and during the weekdays later in the day! I have experience crating dogs and keeping an eye on them to make sure of their safety. I have walked all different sizes of dog as well.

“Kate, John & Cash were wonderful. They go the extra mile to work with you, are skilled & attentive in working with active dogs. Kate & John sent great pictures. It was wonderful that my dog could run in their long, fenced in back yard, wrestle & play tug of war with their dog. Book with them!”

About: I’ve always loved being around dogs and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with a part of your family. As a dog owner myself, I know every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. I have experience with puppies, crate training, leash walking, feeding schedules, basic commands, tricks, and providing lots of exercise and attention. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind during your time apart. My goal is simple: give your dog a fun, safe experience and give you confidence that they’re in good hands. I especially enjoy working with puppies and high-energy dogs and understand the importance of consistency, structure, and positive reinforcement. Dogs are already a big part of my daily routine. As a dog owner, my schedule is built around walks, training, playtime, feeding routines, and providing consistent care. I’m actively pursuing opportunities in the dog care and training field, so I genuinely enjoy spending time working with dogs of different ages, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your dog needs exercise, companionship, reinforcement of good habits, or a structured routine while you’re away, I’m committed to providing attentive and reliable care. Safety, structure, and positive experiences are my top priorities. I’m currently expanding my knowledge in dog behavior and training with the goal of building a career in the dog care industry. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, triggers, and training goals so I can provide consistent care that matches what they’re used to at home. As a dog owner and someone interested in dog training, I believe in positive reinforcement, patience, and clear communication. I closely supervise dogs during walks, playtime, and interactions, and I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, administering basic care, and using crates when requested. I also provide regular photo and video updates so owners can feel confident their dog is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
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.
“Our dog always leaves happy from her stays with Jeremiah and his family which gives us great peace of mind. He has been so flexible and has had great communication with us on the many days we’ve had our Husky stay for doggy day-care. I highly recommend Jeremiah!”
“Jody takes amazing care of my pup. She is very diligent and caring, and has gone above and beyond for Roma when she has been sick. I trust Jody and continue to bring my dog for regular pet sitting. Jody is great.”

“Joey is great! I never worry about my dog when he stays there. He was so excited to go when he did day care and would run to the door when we arrived. Definitely recommend.”
About: I've grown up with dogs and cats, am a fur baby auntie, and live in a neighborhood that has lots of good sniffs for a furry friend. With the hybrid work style, my husband or I am home 2 days of the week and in office 3 days. This gives us a ton of flexibility to spend time with yiur fur babies! We have a 2 year old and a 4 year old who love furry friends when they're home from daycare. I take dogs out for a daily walk and I will let them out to go potty based on their needs. For cats I will change their litter box daily. For either cats or dogs, I will feed them according to their normal schedule. My family and I will give as much love as the fur baby is comfortable with.
About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. With decades of experience as a pet owner and sitter, I know how to keep tails wagging and owners worry-free. I work from home full-time, so I can be home with your furry friend all day. I can give walks at any time and provide care whenever they need it. Dogs in our home are welcome to roam free if they are house-trained. We allow dogs in all parts of our house. We can set up gates or crates if you prefer your dog to have their own space.
“Coco spent her first day with Sonja, Adam & their pups. I felt completely comfortable leaving her with them. They are personable, warm, & kind. They are clearly, comfortable & knowledgeable about dogs. Coco made herself at home within the first five minutes she was in their home, and had not a care when I left. She clearly had a blast playing with everyone. The pictures tell a story of a happy, relaxed dog who had a boat load of fun, & went home tired. Thank you Sonja & Adam.”

“We were traveling to the area with our sweetie Toto. I was running a charity event near Dee Dee and she was able to take care of Toto while I was busy so she didn’t have to sit alone in the hotel. Dee Dee was very flexible and had very good communication! I got fun photos and reports about Toto throughout the door through the app straight to my phone. And I knew Toto was happy, cared for and safe. Thank you so much! We will definitely be repeats next time we add in the area❤️”

Whether that’s couch time, belly rubs, keeping them company, or going on walks, I’m always happy to give pets the love, attention, and care they deserve. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I’m available for overnights, before and after school, and on weekends. I’m happy to do check-ins, walks, feedings, and spend quality time with pets to make sure they’re comfortable, exercised, and well cared for. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort when caring for pets in both my home and a client’s home. I carefully follow all routines, feeding instructions, and any special care needs. I make sure pets are always supervised, secure, and comfortable in their environment, and I keep owners updated so they can feel confident their pets are safe, loved, and well cared for!
“Natalie was a godsend when I had to go out of town and my family was unable to get our dog out for proper walks. And she came despite the frigid temps! She was super communicative, happy to help and seemed to enjoy our pup. Definitely booking again!”
“Regina is a wonderful dog walker! We had a last-minute issue while I was recovering from foot surgery and needed someone to walk our little Coco for a few days. Thankfully, Regina was available to step in, and she has been fabulous! She is terrific with Coco, and I'm sure she is Coco's new best friend.”

“Amazing Care for Our High-Energy Doodle Puppy! We couldn't have been happier with the care Jeremiah provided for our energetic doodle puppy during his three-day stay. Finding someone who can handle a young, high-energy dog is crucial, and Jeremiah exceeded all our expectations. Their home is incredibly clean and nice, and the fenced backyard was perfect for our puppy to burn off steam safely. It was a huge bonus that they have their own sweet doodle—our guy had an absolute blast making a new friend and getting constant companionship! Communication was prompt and reassuring. We received updates and very cute pictures via text throughout the stay, which made us feel completely at ease. They took him on multiple walks and ensured he received excellent care and attention the entire time. Overall, our puppy truly enjoyed his stay, and we are totally satisfied. We will absolutely be repeat customers and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a loving, responsible, and fun home for their dog!”
“Cassandra and Eric were great with our older dog! They sent us pictures every day and told us about how was doing each day! Kona loved their fenced in back yard and being able to soak up the sun on their deck and keep an eye on things. I will definitely try to use them again in the future!”
“Brittany did an amazing job watching our two dogs! She is a great communicator and sent us pictures of our pups daily. We had a great experience and would highly recommend her!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Tracy. I was genuinely so nervous boarding my dogs for the first time, and from the very beginning she made me feel completely at ease. She was warm, patient, reassuring, and so communicative the entire time. What really stood out to me is how naturally comfortable my dogs were with her. You can tell she truly understands animals and cares about them like they’re her own. She sent updates and photos, answered my anxious first-time-boarder questions with so much kindness, and made the whole experience feel safe and personal. Finding someone you can actually trust with your dogs is huge, and Tracy is absolutely that person. I’m so grateful we found her and would recommend her in a heartbeat.”
“Logan is knowledgeable and caring about all things animals. She initiated a Meet & Greet before the first time caring for our pups and it was important to her to get familiar with our family. During their first stay, she provided updates, sent pics and followed all of our care instructions. When my flight was delayed, she kindly agreed to a later pick-up.”
“Carine, Eric, and family were AMAZING with my two dogs, I got so many updates and pictures and know my girls were getting the best care while I was away. I highly recommend them for pet care!”
