“Amazing, Andrea treats Monty like he’s one of her own dogs. She gives us updates promptly about how Monty is enjoying his time with her and her family! He absolutely loves going there!”
“Dayjah did great with my two shepherds! She accommodated all of their needs and sent me a lot of photos throughout their stay! We will definitely use her again! ☺️”
“Natalie and her family did such a great job with our dogs. They had plenty of playtime outdoors and indoors. Lots of love and attention was given. We got picture updates which put our minds at ease. Our dogs enjoyed their stay and will definitely be using Natalie in the future 😃”
“Rene is great and my dog King loves her. Apparently he sneaked out under a small rabbit hole - not her fault cuz King tends to dig and look for where he can escape. He returned without problem and I will always continue to use Rene as my doggy sitter. She takes great care of him!!”
“Laura was nothing shy of WONDERFUL!! Multiple pictures each day, lots of walks, and plenty of lovings for our babies. This was our first time leaving our dogs with anyone other than family, long story short we will be using Laura for all our puppy needs!!”
“Amanda was so great! She really listened to the things I wanted for Sadie and was so flexible with my needs and schedule. Her kids and dogs are also great. Sadie warmed up to them very quickly and I know she had a great time. Will definitely book again.”
“Really enjoyed having our 2 dogs stay with Sara! She was flexible with drop off & pick up times which was very helpful. I also loved that she offered to let me come see her space before having my dogs stay over! Gave me peace of mind! And she even sent me some videos of my dogs playing which was super thoughtful! Will book again for sure :)”
“I have an older dog that had never been boarded before. Angie said all went smoothly. I was concerned because my dog is old and is used to being just around me. Angie must have made her feel comfortable. Highly recommend her and I will definitely use her services again if needed.”
“Kari & family made sure that Toby felt comfortable before I even left. She sent timely updates and questions to make sure that Toby received the best care possible while we were apart. Will definitely use her again!”
“Kari was super easy to set everything up with! She was great with our dogs! One of our dogs rarely eats when we board her but she ate for Kari! They both came home happy and tired girls! Highly recommend!”
“This is the second time we've used Emily and she is wonderful! Our dog Diego loves being there and playing with their dog Maggie. She sends the cutest photos and Diego is always exhausted when he comes home. Highly recommend!”
“Donald was fantastic with my 2 dogs that he boarded for 7 days. My dogs loved it there, it was the perfect environment for them while I was away, as close to a setting of just being at home as I could have imagined possible. This worked great, especially considering my youngest dog had never been boarded anywhere for overnight. They both fit in and adjusted well quickly. They got used to their new routine quickly, and the youngest really liked the electronic doggie door. It was just all around a great fit and will definitely be contacting Donald again for all future boarding needs”
“Kelsey and family were amazing! Auggie became part of their family for the time I was away and that’s all I could have wished for. She took the time for daily updates, which eased my dog mama heart. Auggie was pooped when we got home, but I know he’s going to miss their family! I better find another place to vacation so he can visit again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Would book again!”
“Beth is very sweet and has a great place for your dog to run around and play. My dog came home with a smile on her face. Thank you Beth for taking care of my Josie. 🥰”
About: I genuinely treat every pet as if they were my own, focusing on their individual needs, routines, and personalities. I'm dependable, attentive, and communicate openly with owners, ensuring peace of mind while they’re away. Whether it's extra playtime, careful attention to health needs, or simply being a calming presence, I go above and beyond to make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and happy. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine I plan my days around feeding times, walks, play sessions, and any special needs a pet may have. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddle time, I make sure each pet gets consistent attention, exercise, and care throughout the day. Their well-being is always a top priority in my schedule. In my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and pet friendly environment where pets can relax, play, and feel at home. I stick closely to their usual routines, offer plenty of attention, playtime, and outdoor walks, and make sure they have a cozy space to rest. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully to keep pets in a familiar, low-stress environment. I focus on maintaining their normal schedule, giving them lots of love and engagement, and keeping owners updated with regular photos and messages.
“Amanda and her family took care of Duncan very well. She kept us updated when we were gone on our trip. Duncan had a lot of fun while he was there and was loved. We would nook her again when we will go o. another trip.”

“Riina takes Great Care of our Katy, Deckster, and Gracie! She spends time with each of them and they have come to love her. 💕 She gives meds. as needed. We will have only Riina Care for our fur babies!! 😊”
“Natalie was wonderful. After meeting her I was totally comfortable with her stopping in daily to hang out. My two kitties only like me and my husband, and a select few of our grandkids, and hide when anyone comes over, so I wasn't expecting them to warm up to her. But one of them did after a while! She took good care of my kitties and was great about checking in with me. Would definitely hire her again next time we need someone.”
“Heidi was a fantastic pet sitter for our two cats. We had some home issues with an alarm going off and she helped us figure that out as well. Definitely went above and beyond! We highly recommend her.”
About: I have two kitties currently and I treat them as my children. I love spending time with cats, snuggles and play time are the best! My very first kitty was blind in one eye, she didn't have any trouble with this deformity, in my opinion it made her even more charming! I would treat your fur babies as if they were my own!
“Alicia was great!!! She was very communicative, sent lots of photos and updates as well as timely. We would trust her in our home again to care for our babies anytime!!! Highly recommend her for both dogs and cats. Our cat is rather skiddish but warmed up to Alicia right away which says a lot about her <3”
“We have used Ciboney for 3 vacations now and every time she’s not only been available for our needy cat she’s been a great care giver. We can see our standoffish cat warmup throughout the visits in the daily photos and in turn that makes us all the more comfortable leaving Gidget behind. Thanks Ciboney!”
“Heather was great!!!! She contacted me with problems and sent pictures. She took amazing care of our kitties while we were away. She made a stressful weekend away for us a little easier. We will definitely book her again!!!”
“Shannon was great help with her drop-ins. I can definitely tell that while she was looking after my dog he enjoyed it just as much as she did. Her reports were very detailed and left me at ease while he was in her care. I would definitely recommend her services to anyone in the future!”
About: Hello, my name is Allie and it's safe to say that I love dogs. I work at a dog daycare so I have experience with a lot of different breeds and temperaments. My speciality is working with the shy terrified dogs. When it comes to walking dogs I do have experience with gentle leaders and double leashing. I have a Vizsla puppy and a Chihuahua. The two of them have taught me how to be extremely active and mellow at the same time. My schedule is fairly flexible throughout the week and weekends. Before working with dogs I worked at a group home. That experience gave me the ability to pay attention to the littlest details and to have fast reflexes. I also have experience passing medication (convincing dogs that it's not awful). I would love to be your fury friends friend.
About: Hello! I’m a dog lover and behavior-focused pet caregiver who believes every dog deserves to spend their time being themselves, feeling comfortable, and having fun! 🐶 3+ years of professional experience working with dogs in daycare & boarding settings 🏡 Experienced with a wide variety of breeds, personalities, energy levels, and behavior needs. 🐾 I have dogs of my own, so I understand that every dog is an individual and should be treated like family 🧠 Currently studying dog behavior and training and always learning more 👀 Strong understanding of canine body language and behavior, including recognizing signs of stress, discomfort, excitement, and relaxation 💕 I let your dog lead the way — whether they want to play, sniff, explore, cuddle, relax, or simply have some quiet time 🌿 I believe dogs should have choices whenever safely possible rather than being pushed into activities they aren’t comfortable with 🚫 Fear, pain, and intimidation have no place in my care. I use gentle, positive, and respectful handling with every pet My goal is simple: your dog gets to have a staycation that feels like it was made just for them. 🐾 I’m an online student and a freelancer, so I make my own schedule and I’ll have plenty of time for your furry friend! No need to worry about any schedule restrictions. Safety & well-being always come first — I closely monitor your dog, make sure their physical and emotional needs are met, and give them choices while keeping their safety a priority. I follow any and all instructions to a T and will always keep a close eye on your fur baby.
“Lindsey was awesome!! I hired her to take care of my 5 week old kittens + one adult cat for the weekend, and I’m so glad I did! She was punctual on their feeding times, administered oral meds, and was very communicative when I reached out — and even when I didn’t. Definitely recommend!”
“Crystal took such wonderful care of my 2 babies (cats) and provided lots of pics and video clips. I liked knowing that my fur kids were in good hands while I was away. Will definitely book again with Crystal and highly recommend her services!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life! I grew up on a large animal farm where we had bison for 20 years. I went to college at msu Mankato for animal science. In 2016 I started working at a boarding kennel and ever since I have found my life passion of working with dogs and cats. I have 4 dogs of my own on a hobby farm. I have two springer spaniels, my rescue dog that is a chow pit bull, and recently got a golden retriever puppy. I have also been grooming dogs professionally since 2018. I know how to do anal glands, haircuts, nail trimming and buffing, ear cleaning, meds, baths, basically the whole works! I am currently available pretty much everyday for drop ins, walks, feeding, meds, and to give love to your fur babies! Even last minute I’m available I offer drop in at your house, I can do over nights if needed, I also can pets to appointments if needed. I do have experience with aggressive dogs as well. I have a fully enclosed 7 foot tall fenced in yard as well
About: I love working with dogs. I have sat for a wide range of dogs sizing from a brussels griffen (14-15 lbs) to southern bloodhounds and black labs. Have given basic medication (a probiotic for the southern bloodhound), fed and walked dogs. I have also walked both together, so I am not against having 2 dogs at once. I have also used a couple different forms of restraints, such as gentle leaders, normal neck collars and shock collars while on walks to keep dogs under control as per owners instructions. One of the dogs I sit on a regular basis is an aging almost 10 year old southern bloodhound. I also have taken care of a shiba inu at weeks at a time, giving her longer 3-4 mile walks. My availability tends to lie in afternoons, evenings and some weekend availability as I have a 40 hour a week job. Generally what dog owners will like about my care is when I am given specific instruction, I will follow their instruction word for word, to keep their dog happy and healthy.

About: I have fostered both dogs and cats in the past. From childhood to the present day, a home is not complete without some form of animal companion. I tend to be an early riser and am very flexible. Cleaning up after myself as well as your pets is my specialty. I enjoy camping and antiquing when there’s no critters to hang out with. I am familiar with many types of leash and collar. I prefer to keep a dog heeled on most of the walk, letting them run and play when it’s appropriate to do so. If you have a preferred method of control I’m happy to accommodate. I’m comfortable giving meds and have experience with all kinds of feeding. When sitting, I’d love to water your plants and get the mail-any little extras that you need. I often take my dad shopping or to doctor’s appointments, and set my own schedule with my other jobs. How long your pets can be left alone (if at all) is up to you! I’m great at following orders, especially written instructions; please tell me how you usually handle your pets so I can keep it consistent for them! I like to go for walks, and like it even more if I have company. I also always enjoy a good snuggle.
“Amanda is an AMAZING dog sitter! She took such good care of our puppy. I was so nervous to leave my puppy for the first time but Amanda did a great job keeping me informed on her day and made me very comfortable. Will definitely be going here again!”
About: Avid animal lovers, both fur and feathered alike! We are a family of four humans- mom and three children, with several outdoor feathered friends. We are an active household that enjoys many days outside, but also equally loves cuddling up on the couch for a movie night. At night, your pet is welcome to sleep wherever they find it most comfortable. We have had personal pet ownership experience with blindness, deafness, and separation anxiety in dogs. In addition to our own pets, we have also opened our home to foster dogs for several years, specializing and dog reactive dogs, as well as hospice/end of life care. My career consists of over a decade of hospital-based pharmacy experience, and I am now fortunate to currently work from home. With my career and volunteer dog hospice foster experience, I am comfortable and knowledgeable in administering any oral, subcutaneous, and IM medications. - We provide care to one outside family at a time to ensure a stress-free experience for everyone. I do allow exemptions for multifamily households. - Your pet will have an adult with them for at least 20/24 hours per day. Most updates are sent with morning breakfast, midafternoon rest, and before bedtime. You are also encouraged and welcome to reach out anytime outside of that. - If your pet does require a crate at any point, please ensure one accompanies them to drop off. We are a home-based boarding experience and do not have commercial kennel runs. - If your pet has been excused/banned from a commercial boarding facility, I do require a no-cost meet and greet for introductions before confirming the booking. It is my priority to ensure your pet feels safe, and I am confident in their needs before confirming commitment. - Privately insured for household companionship pets, which covers both care during boarding and any agreed-upon transportation. Keywords: home-based, medical needs, special needs, reactive, medication administration. I am generally available to accept same-day bookings as someone who works from home. At this time, my employer allows me to set my own hours, meaning I can easily adapt to your pet's schedule and any medical needs. Bathroom breaks are averaged at every two hours and anytime outside of this at your pup's request. If your pet prefers to spend afternoons in the sun, then that is where I am happy to work that day! Any pets boarded in our home can expect to have a human home a minimum of 20 out of the 24 hours in a day. We welcome your pets to rest and sleep wherever they are most comfortable- couch, pet bed, human bed, etc. If you request or your pet requires kenneling at any time, please ensure a kennel accompanies them to drop off. Our home is carpet-free (stress-free!), and we understand accidents happen. Please inform me if your pet is working on potty training, and we can reduce the number of rooms initially accessible. Our acreage is unfenced, and dogs have access to the backyard of the property. If your dog is not off-leash trained, we provide a pulley tie-out to allow them a greater range of access. If you are most comfortable with leash walking, that is also just fine with us!
“When our normal sitter for our 18 year old dog was unavailable we selected Dayjah to fill in. As our dog is old, we are very protective with him. We spike with Dayjah on the phone first. It was clear that she not only was very knowledgeable about about pet care, but even more important, she loved animals. Our dog did fantastic with Dayjah. Infact, he did not seem to want to leave when we picked him up. Dayjah has my highest recommendation in providing safe and loving care for your pet!”

About: Dogs are lovable and a helping career is fulfilling. By helping humans with their canines I get the best of both worlds! Dogs have always been apart of my life, and recently we had our own 13yo mutt who came as a puppy, had a long full life, and passed away in my husband’s arms. Before that we had another mutt that lived to be 16yo, but she was a pound puppy we got at about 2yo. Also, our dog-niece lived with us for January 2024 while her parents vacationed. I love to love-on peoples’ dogs. Let's chat soon. I’ll be at your home when you need me to care for your feline furbaby. Most cats in my care have been drop-ins, including feeding, watering, and cat box cleaning. Cats with dog siblings have been an occasional treat to care for, as well. Just show me the ropes and I will do my best to copy what you do for your cat(s). Teach me your ways, Sensei!
About: Dogs have been my passion since my earliest memories. When I was a young girl, I was always training my family and friends dogs. I also would take care of my friends dogs when needed. I started to get involved with dog sports around the age of 12. In addition to this, I trained my dog to be a therapy dog. When I was 16 I started to volunteer at the Animal Humane Society in Golden Valley for a few years before going to college. I graduated from the University of Minnesota- Twin Cities with a degree in Communications and a minor in Leadership. Along the way, I took many classes to learn more about animal behavior and psychology. However, once I graduated, I was at a loss of what to pursue. It was during this time when I stumbled into working for Invisible Fence as a dog trainer. I found my true passion of training dogs through this. I have spent countless hours learning through hands on experience, shadowing other trainers, signing up for seminars/conferences and taking courses through a Pet Professional Program. In addition to this, I read countless books, listened to professional dog trainer podcasts, and watched videos. Now I run my own dog training business called Tator's Training. Pet care is about the well-being of the animal as a whole... starting with nutrition, enrichment, mental stimulation and being active. I have 3 dogs of my own that I work with every day. I target each category (nutrition, enrichment, mental stimulation, physical activity) to make sure their needs are met. I work with dogs daily and have a flexible schedule throughout the week. Every dog is treated like my own. I would never put an animal in a situation that isn't environmentally safe for them or puts them at risk. Safety involves having a safe place, being aware of what a dog is trying to tell you, having water available, following the established nutrition routine, allowing play, freedom (within reason), and providing daily enrichment.
“Sara was awesome with my dog Lily. Lily has epilepsy and can have seizures. In selecting a dog sitter I needed someone comfortable and experienced with Lily's needs. I was so nervous to leave Lily. Sara's calm demeanor helped me relax and know Lily was in good hands. I appreciated the updates and pictures she sent throughout Lily's stay. I look forward to many more visits with Sara.”
About: I have 4 playful dogs of my own (and sometimes a foster dog!), worked at a boarding facility a good chunk of my working career. Nice fenced in yard in a quiet neighborhood. I currently not taking in-house boarding due to having a foster dog at the moment, can do doggy daycare. * due to having 4 dogs of my own; I do NOT take non-social dogs. I work part time (some full time some weeks) so I am usually available. I am an active person at home playing with my own dogs, my dogs love having friends over. I am not taking in-house boarding appointments due to currently having a foster dog. Dogs have a nice fenced in yard! We pick up poop daily, and there are cameras inside and outside of the house. Frequently provide fresh water.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, and they have always been a big part of my family. I currently have a sweet Yorkie Poo and a gentle Newfoundland, and I truly believe every dog has their own personality, needs, and little quirks that make them special. I have over 5 years of professional dog grooming experience, which has taught me so much about dog behavior, body language, handling, and how to make dogs feel comfortable and safe. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors in all sizes. I also have experience with dogs who need extra patience and care, including dogs recovering from procedures and blind dogs. Besides walks, daycare, and boarding, I can also offer basic maintenance care, such as brushing, baths, nail trimming and grinding, ear cleaning, and teeth brushing, feet - paw and face trimming. I love going on long walks (usually two one-hour walks a day with my own dogs), and I’d love to give your pup the same attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. My goal is for your dog to feel comfortable, loved, and cared for like they’re part of the family. Our day includes two long walks, usually around 8:30 AM and 5 PM to avoid peak heat. We enjoy walks, park visits, playtime, cuddles and enrichment activities throughout the day. I provide a safe, calm home environment with supervision throughout the day. I’m home most of the time, offer structured walks and playtime, and have crates available if dogs need quiet time or separation. While I don’t have a fenced yard, dogs receive plenty of outdoor exercise through secure walks and nearby park visits. I also have experience handling different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities.
“Our dogs had a wonderful time with Emily and her family. Emily was a great communicator all the way through and our boys were very well cared for and loved. We will definitely be using her again!”
About: I've taken care of all types of pets from a very young age. Whether it be a tiny chihuahua to a sizeable Bullmastiff, a cat, birds including chickens, reptiles, fish, even small furry friends like rabbits or ferrets. I have adored and been fascinated by animals my whole life and am up for any challenge you throw at me. I've personally trained my dog to follow voiceless hand signal commands and he is also special needs, so caring for a senior or special needs animal is a breeze for me! I've even provided end of life care for my grandmother's cat, which included administering fluids via injection, so don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it. Not to mention that I have experience raising young kittens and squirrels at milk drinking ages! I am available from 7am to 5pm Monday through Friday and overnights on Fridays and Saturdays. I could possibly do extended overnight stays in my own home if your pet is dog, cat, and young child friendly. Whether it be for a walk, potty break, comfort while you're away, socializing and training your puppy basic commands (and maybe a few tricks), or even just taking your furry friend out for a pup cup and to a sniff spot, I'm the gal for you. I will even provide litter or doggy doo doo cleanup for an additional price. Your pet will always be safe and loved in my hands. I am currently in between jobs, and my kiddos go to daycare from 7am-5pm M-F, so I am available to help between those times, or overnights at your house on Fridays and Saturdays. I could be purr-suaded to do extended overnight stays at my house if your feline is cat, dog, and young child friendly. If I am caring in my home, I have 3 cats-all fixed- a special needs male dog who is NOT fixed due to medical reasons, and two kids under the age of 5. If you choose to keep your pet at my home, they need to be able to get along with them or be kept in a separate room. If you have a female dog, they would need to be fixed with proof of spay. My special needs dog has no business procreating! I have a large home and a decent sized yard with a tie-out cable so that your pet can explore my whole backyard safely without fear of taking off. I also have a screened in porch that I often let the cats roam in during the nicer months. I have a Honda CR-V, so I can keep decently large dogs in the car as well for transport or in case of emergency. If I am caring for your pet in your home, I will cuddle, play, exercise, and feed & water them to their hearts content. I will ask however for an extra fee to pick up any dog poo or clean litter boxes.
About: Hi! I’m Megan, and I’ve spent years working hands-on with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have a strong background in pet care, including working as a dog trainer for both group classes and private clients, as well as experience in dog daycare, boarding, and veterinary settings. I’ve cared for dogs in many environments and I’m comfortable handling everything from basic care to more behavior-focused needs. I have experience reading dog body language and helping pets feel safe, comfortable, and understood. In addition to my professional experience, I’ve been extensively involved in rescue work as a foster home and running a shelter behavior group of volunteers so I’m especially patient with reactive, anxious, or higher-needs dogs. I truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality and tailoring care to what works best for them. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight care, you can count on me to provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care—just like I would for my own. I’m currently a stay at home mom and so I am able to be flexible in most cases. Evenings and weekends will be my most available times! I have two dogs of my own who are very used to new animals coming and going. I don’t have a fenced backyard, but do have tie outs or can leash walk any pets at my home. Every animal has different needs, so I will do my best to figure out what sleeping arrangements make them the most comfortable during their stay (I have kennels of every size so people do not need to bring theirs back and forth unless they prefer to). I’m well versed in methods of calming for pets that might be nervous. I do have a 6 month old infant at home who is very used to dogs, but any pets coming in to my home would need to be safe and comfortable around her.
About: I am a dedicated and caring pet sitter who truly loves animals. I always make sure pets have plenty of fresh water and get the exercise they need to stay happy and healthy, while paying close attention to their individual routines and needs. I am currently in school to become a veterinary technician and have hands-on experience working in the veterinary field, which allows me to provide knowledgeable and attentive care. Their dog would fit well into my daily routine. Since I work part time, I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule to provide consistent care, including regular walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins throughout the day. I make it a priority to plan my day around the dog’s needs to ensure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. In addition, I have fostered many animals, giving me experience with pets of different personalities and medical needs, and I treat every animal as if they were my own.

About: I can provide a safe quiet home for your pet to visit when you’re away. I work from home and spend the days with our almost 8 year old boxer mix, Aggie. We love taking walks to the park near our home and we have a small fenced in back yard with a privacy fence. Aggie gets along with almost every dog and will sometimes play. She can be pretty vocal when she plays but is otherwise super quiet. She’s a great role model for younger dogs :) I work from home so I am usually home with the pets for most of the day. We take daily walks when the weather is good. We have a large dog crate if your dog needs. Our yard is fenced in and dogs wouldn’t usually be home alone for more than a few hours.
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all kinds. I make sure to follow each pet’s routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. When caring for your pet, I follow your instructions closely and make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and affection they’re used to. I’m happy to provide dependable care and regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I work full-time during weekdays, but I’m available for pet care before work, after work, evenings, and weekends. If you prefer someone with your pets at all times, my wife works remotely and can step-in during work hours for that additional companionship and supervision. I work remotely, so I’m home most of the day and have the flexibility to give your pet attention, care, and playtime throughout my workday. I’m happy to care for your pet in the comfort of their own home, where they feel safe and secure. I follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet gets all the attention, care, and love they’re used to.
About: I am a stay at home mom, with a rescue dog, several rescue cats, and chickens. We have 25 acres on a gravel road and love being outside exploring. I love music, sunshine, and coffee. I love breakfast foods. I have always been an animal lover. Growing up in the country - we always had at least one dog and at least one farm cat. I am looking forward to meeting new pups by dropping in and going for walks! I am a SAHM so I am fairly flexible. We can stop by during the day for a walk or potty break and some playing. We have plenty of unfenced outdoor space. There will be other animals around. My kids know how to be gentle and do not get in pets' faces.
About: I have taken care of all kinds of pets both big and small, specializing in cats and dogs. I excel at reading animals behavior and meeting them where they are at instead of forcing the relationship. This leads to first visit friends and much easier care for them and less stress for you. I am currently working a flexible schedule and therefore have many opportunities to stop by and help out whether its a quick potty break, a lunchtime walk, or even just spending some time with your loved ones so they don't get lonely. I am very intentional about creating a safe space for my animals in my home and will ensure the same in yours, following any safety and security measures you have laid out to ensure your loved ones will be happy healthy when you return.
About: I grew up with six dogs and a great love for animals. I’ve worked as a kennel technicians multiple years and have worked at many horse barns. I helped train puppies for Southeastern Guide dogs, based in Florida. I have volunteered with my dog at retirement homes. I’ve taken care of others’ dogs, cats and horses for seven years.

I am a full-time college student at NDSU. In the summer, I work 40 hour weeks. I will have to be gone for about 8 hours at a time. I am clean and respectful of everyone’s home. Any mess will be cleaned up. Any pet waste will be cleaned up quickly. I keep my own place tidy and neat. Every animal will be cared for just like you care for them. I understand how important pets are in our lives and want to give them nothing more than the best care.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life! I grew up on a large animal farm where we had bison for 20 years. I went to college at msu Mankato for animal science. In 2016 I started working at a boarding kennel and ever since I have found my life passion of working with dogs and cats. I have 4 dogs of my own on a hobby farm. I have two springer spaniels, my rescue dog that is a chow pit bull, and recently got a golden retriever puppy. I have also been grooming dogs professionally since 2018. I know how to do anal glands, haircuts, nail trimming and buffing, ear cleaning, meds, baths, basically the whole works! I am currently available pretty much everyday for drop ins, walks, feeding, meds, and to give love to your fur babies! Even last minute I’m available I offer drop in at your house, I can do over nights if needed, I also can pets to appointments if needed. I do have experience with aggressive dogs as well. I have a fully enclosed 7 foot tall fenced in yard as well
About: I love working with dogs. I have sat for a wide range of dogs sizing from a brussels griffen (14-15 lbs) to southern bloodhounds and black labs. Have given basic medication (a probiotic for the southern bloodhound), fed and walked dogs. I have also walked both together, so I am not against having 2 dogs at once. I have also used a couple different forms of restraints, such as gentle leaders, normal neck collars and shock collars while on walks to keep dogs under control as per owners instructions. One of the dogs I sit on a regular basis is an aging almost 10 year old southern bloodhound. I also have taken care of a shiba inu at weeks at a time, giving her longer 3-4 mile walks. My availability tends to lie in afternoons, evenings and some weekend availability as I have a 40 hour a week job. Generally what dog owners will like about my care is when I am given specific instruction, I will follow their instruction word for word, to keep their dog happy and healthy.

“Natalie and her family did such a great job with our dogs. They had plenty of playtime outdoors and indoors. Lots of love and attention was given. We got picture updates which put our minds at ease. Our dogs enjoyed their stay and will definitely be using Natalie in the future 😃”
“Laura was nothing shy of WONDERFUL!! Multiple pictures each day, lots of walks, and plenty of lovings for our babies. This was our first time leaving our dogs with anyone other than family, long story short we will be using Laura for all our puppy needs!!”
“Amanda was so great! She really listened to the things I wanted for Sadie and was so flexible with my needs and schedule. Her kids and dogs are also great. Sadie warmed up to them very quickly and I know she had a great time. Will definitely book again.”
“Really enjoyed having our 2 dogs stay with Sara! She was flexible with drop off & pick up times which was very helpful. I also loved that she offered to let me come see her space before having my dogs stay over! Gave me peace of mind! And she even sent me some videos of my dogs playing which was super thoughtful! Will book again for sure :)”
“I have an older dog that had never been boarded before. Angie said all went smoothly. I was concerned because my dog is old and is used to being just around me. Angie must have made her feel comfortable. Highly recommend her and I will definitely use her services again if needed.”
“Kari & family made sure that Toby felt comfortable before I even left. She sent timely updates and questions to make sure that Toby received the best care possible while we were apart. Will definitely use her again!”
“Donald was fantastic with my 2 dogs that he boarded for 7 days. My dogs loved it there, it was the perfect environment for them while I was away, as close to a setting of just being at home as I could have imagined possible. This worked great, especially considering my youngest dog had never been boarded anywhere for overnight. They both fit in and adjusted well quickly. They got used to their new routine quickly, and the youngest really liked the electronic doggie door. It was just all around a great fit and will definitely be contacting Donald again for all future boarding needs”
“Kelsey and family were amazing! Auggie became part of their family for the time I was away and that’s all I could have wished for. She took the time for daily updates, which eased my dog mama heart. Auggie was pooped when we got home, but I know he’s going to miss their family! I better find another place to vacation so he can visit again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Would book again!”
“Beth is very sweet and has a great place for your dog to run around and play. My dog came home with a smile on her face. Thank you Beth for taking care of my Josie. 🥰”
“Amanda and her family took care of Duncan very well. She kept us updated when we were gone on our trip. Duncan had a lot of fun while he was there and was loved. We would nook her again when we will go o. another trip.”
About: I’ve always had a love for animals, so much so that I turned it into a career. I’ve been a vet tech for about 15 years and have been caring for animals the majority of my life. I can administer medications if your pet has been prescribed any. And if anything seems out of the ordinary I will notify you right away. The care and wellbeing of your pet is my priority. I am currently working full time during the week with every other Friday off. The weekends, and every other Friday I am at home and we can arrange a time for pick up and drop off that works for you. When playing outside your pet will we supervised closely and will not be left outside alone. We do have a fence on the back side of our yard. And we live in a cul-de-sac, so no need to worry about being on a busy road.
About: We have had our own dog for 7 years and have taken care of other family members dogs while they are away! We love have another pet in the home that we can interact with by playing fetch, going for walks, belly rubs, snuggles, and extra treat giving. Our beagle loves playing with other dogs as well! In the summer I am off so I am home daily. During the school year, I am at work Monday through Friday 7-4 and home on the weekends. We don’t have a fenced in backyard, but have an invisible fence for our dog. When watching other dogs we make sure we are outside with them so they don’t run off. When gone, we gate our dog in the kitchen area that has her bed along with food and water. Don’t need to be crate trained.
“Such a wonderful family and beautiful home! My pup was very very happy here and I know she was treated just like family. We are very glad we found Emily, and we will definitely be repeat customers.”
