“Eric watched our 2 labs while we were on vacation for 9 days. He takes excellent care of our boys and I would recommend him to anyone. We've been going to Eric's for at least 2 years now and I recommend him to anyone who is looking for an in home sitter. He has a large property for them to run and I love getting pictures and updates while our dogs are at his house.”
“Grace was a new Rover for us and she was great! We did a meet-and-greet ahead of time and I could tell she would make sure our fur-baby would be happy. Her home is set up for pets to hang out and her yard is fenced. She sent me a photo every couple days and I could tell that Romeo was right at home. We will use Grace again if we need help.”
“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”
“Chris took great care of our dog while we were on vacation. We’ve never boarded our dog before, so it was a relief to see him playing with other dogs and getting plenty of outside time while he was there. Would definitely bring him back again.”
“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!”
“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”
“Andrea took great care of our dog!! She kept us up to date with pictures, videos, and check-ins! Our dog can be super shy when meeting strangers but she felt comfortable in her care. Highly recommend Andrea!!”
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.
About: I've had dogs in the house since I was a little girl! My boys really love dogs and have just as much energy! I want your pet to leave happy and ready to come back again! I am available on weekends, I am available on week days in the evening also. I just need to know your pets routine and can adjust as needed. I have plenty of space to walk your pet outside and can take them out as many times as needed. Our Rex sleeps with the kiddos and a wonderful snuggler and we love all this kisses and anuggles.

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 looked in on our cat Chester while we were away and did a great job. We especially loved the photos of him she took and it gave us great peace of mind knowing she was there to check in on him. Will definitely book again! Thanks so much, Grace!”
“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!!”
“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!”
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.

“Grace is amazing! She helped me out in short notice to a situation I had and took great care of my dog. She made the whole process so easy and stress free. So helpful!”
“Upon meeting Kay, I knew my dogs were in great hands. She considerately kept her dog in a separate room until my dogs got acclimated to her place. Her home is clean, spacious, inviting and dog-friendly! I enjoyed receiving pictures of my pups enjoying her beautiful fenced-in quiet, private backyard. And because it was our first visit and I didn’t want to stress my fur babies with an overnight, Kay graciously worked with an early/late pickup. We look forward to booking with 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!”
“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.”

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.
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.
