“Noel did very well with Bailey. I was a little concerned about her being not in the country where Bailey is use to having such a big yard to run but Noel took her to the lake, dog park, fetch in the yard. She also had a nice playmate for her. I got several pics of her enjoying her time there and that was nice. I would definite use Noel again.”

Emily did a great job of sending pictures thoroughout the weekend of Stella's happenings. I would highly recommend Emily. Her passion for animals, approachable personality, and flexibility made the experience a wonderful success!”

About: I have many years of personal experience caring for dogs, cats, and rabbits. I love animals and will treat your pets as if they were my own. I work full time, but I’m available before 9 and after 5 M-F. I have all day availability on Saturday and Sunday. I might be able to go during my lunch if close by. I have a fenced in yard. I great responsibility to care for my animals. I make sure to keep dogs in a leash when walking them and to use caution crossing the street and around cars.

About: I've lived with cats my whole life and currently have two of my own who are completely dog-savvy and hold their own. I know cats need quiet spaces, respect for their boundaries, and a different kind of attention than dogs. Your cat won't be stressed out or overwhelmed — they'll have space to decompress and a home that actually understands them.

About: As a cat owner and former foster, I understand how to make cats feel safe and comfortable, especially shy or anxious ones. I’ve cared for a variety of cats, from energetic kittens to senior cats needing extra patience and attention. I tailor my care to each cat’s unique personality, whether that means playtime, quiet companionship, or gentle grooming. I also ensure litter boxes stay clean and fresh, creating a stress-free environment for your feline friend.

“Scott was very easy to work with!”

About: I have owned cats my entire life. My very first pet was a Siamese cat named Emma that I got for Christmas when I was 7 years old. Since then I have owned pretty much every breed of cat throughout my lifetime. I have owned mama cats, and kittens. I have no problem cleaning litter boxes and have no allergies.

“Amber took care of my two cats, two budgee parakeet birds and our corn snake through the duration of a week by dropping into my house to feed and care for them all, twice daily. Absolutely no complaints, she rocked it, took great care of every baby under the roof and followed instructions to the exact detail! She happily accommodated our booking request over Christmas time, which says alot, but also did so with only a few weeks notice so bravo to her for her flexibility as well.”

About: I've been around cats my whole life and have cared for friends’ and neighbors’ cats over the years. My family even tried fostering cats for a while but we always ended up adopting them because we got too attached! I currently have two cats back home and live with one now, thanks to my roommates. As a lifelong cat lover, I’d love the chance to spend more time with cats while also earning a bit of extra money.

“Liz was a wonderful caretaker of our 13 year-old male cat. He did not make it easy for her as he was a bit cranky, but she hung in there and did a great job.”

Candice M.

“Julia stayed with my 3 mo. old kitten and did a great job caring for and playing with him! I got regular pics of him in action and resting, which made me feel good while away. House was in great shape when I got back and couldn't have been any happier with her care!”

About: I have had dogs in my family for as long as I can remember - mutts, goldens, even a very talkative chihuahua - I loved them all! Friends call me to watch their pets often. I am comfortable with every breed of dog, and cats tend to snuggle me or judge me - I’m fine with either! I am currently working as a virtual assistant, with travel to help some clients on-site. I can easily make walks, feedings, day-care and over night stays fit into this schedule. I will take my lead from you and your pet. If it’s active and likes walks or to play, I am happy to do that. I always make sure that there is water in the bowl, and that feeding times are followed.

About: I’ve taken care of pets for atleast 10 years, for friends and family. I’ve become a pro walker and bather for furry friends. I’ve worked with seniors to puppies. I’ve given animals meds before as well! I’m currently working on my own hours as I please so I’m free for any walks or play time or just some good pets and treats! I have a big home with a big backyard, that isn’t fenced but I do that ties for pups that may need it but I don’t leave dogs unsupervised for potty time or playing fetch in the yard. I also have a kiddie pool for the pups that enjoy it like my lab puppy does! We love to take hikes around the area too so If your pup is up for it so am I! I do have 2 small dog crates for about 10lbs pups, and then I do have a crate for about a 70 lb pup if needed for anything. I also do have a lake property on the range with a dock that is available to use for hot summer days for pups that may be interested in jumping in and swimming!

About: Never lived without any animals. Family and friends relied on me since day one. To feed them, bathe, take them for walks, and too keep them longer then one night. All i do is sit at home right now, Rover is my job. Whenever a owner needs me, i’ll be available. Animals are my daily routine! I have a nice big home, with a big yard, that’s fenced in. The pets can lay on furniture, I have water and food down all day. But if they need there own space to eat, i got that covered. They will have there own area to them selfs.

About: I have owned a dog my entire life. We live in the country with a large (unfenced) yard and acres of woods behind us that the we can walk the dogs on. We also have a large outdoor kennel. My son is 12 and also is great with taking care of dogs. I work from home and my son will be out on summer break soon so they will have plenty of attention. We have a 6-year-old chocolate lab who is great with other dogs and loves to play. We've raised our dogs from the puppy stage, so have experience with puppies as well. I work from home full-time and my son will be on summer break soon. We have a lab that loves to play, so they will have plenty of attention. I have a 6-year-old chocolate lab to play with. We have a large unfenced yard, a large kennel and trails in the woods behind the house to take the dogs on walks. We'd be available for drop-ins in the area as well to feed/let out dogs.

About: I've lived with and cared for dogs most of my life and they always love to hang out with me when I'm around. My friends tell me when I come over I spend more time playing with their dog than I do hanging out with them. Always stoked to meet more fur friends! Currently working part time sharpening clipper blades and scissors for groomers so I get to see local fur friends often and I have plenty of time to hang out with them. I am very good at intuitively knowing when a dog needs something when I take care of dogs in their home, and I am also very attentive to the preferences of the owner for any special treatment their pup might need. I prefer to get familiar with a new dog before bringing them to my house but I can be an excellent host! I have acres of land out at my place and tons of groomed trails to take them around me.

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.

“Liz was wonderful with my very shy and defensive dog. My dog looks forward to seeing her and playing fetch with her. She is very professional, yet very warm and easy to work with. Thanks Liz.”

About: I have owned dogs my entire life. I grew up with long haired dachshunds. I have also owned labs, a Dalmatian, huskies, you name it. I love big cuddly dogs the most, but will love up on the smallest to the biggest dog the same. I also have a big heart for senior pets. I work full-time during the week but I am always on the go and able to help with pet sitting, dog walking, helping with caring for animals as needed. I am available for house-sitting depending on the days/times. When I go to someone's home to care for their pet I will treat it as though it is my own pet, which is with the utmost care, kindness and love. I have a huge heart for all living beings including animals and humans. I am highly responsible, and responsive.

About: I have two cats of my own. My tuxedo lu has been around since I was super little, I’ve carried her with me everywhere i go! My fluffy boy moo was a rescue a few years ago, he’s a big sweetie. I have a dog named ollie that I share custody of with my mom. he comes with me on all of the road trips and hikes. I’ve sat for family members and people in my area since I was 15. I also have reptile experience caring for chameleons and snakes. I’m here for any pet! Taking care of animals is my passion ☺️ I do photography full time so my schedule stays pretty flexible. I’m typically available on holidays! I don’t mind to travel a little for your furry friends, so don’t worry too much if you’re far away! I love spending most of my time with my cats. No matter what I’m doing—they’re at my feet or on my lap. My cat moo comes on hikes with me! I enjoy getting fur babies out of the house into the world. I have a dog cover on the back seats in my car. I will always reach out to ask before traveling with your dog, this is not necessary, just an offer! :)

About: I’ve been pet sitting on and off since I was about 12 years old, helping out friends and neighbors. I come from a family of dog lovers and have two dogs and two cats of my own back home. I'm currently a graduate student at the University of Minnesota Duluth and really miss spending time with my own pets. Pet sitting is the perfect way for me to enjoy some quality time with dogs and cats while also earning a bit of extra income. I'm typically busy Tuesday through Thursday, but I have availability on Mondays, Fridays, and Sundays, with flexible scheduling on those days I do a great job reminding dogs just how loved they are usually by telling them they're a good dog every few seconds! I also understand how important safety is, and I make it a priority to regularly check in on them to ensure they’re safe and comfortable. Of course, I also give them plenty of pets and attention whenever I can.
