Jenna was amazing with our two pups! We are new to the area and were worried since they have never stayed with someone other than family before. Dogs can always sniff out good people and as soon as they met Jenna they loved her. I would recommend her to anyone and will definitely be using her again!

Murphy loves being at Collette's place. She always goes above and beyond when it comes to taking care if dogs. She gave my dog shower twice because he went out and rolled in the mud first time. My dog is always happy at collette's place😊

About: I’ve had my dog Zelda for eight years now. Still, each day is just as fun as the last. Her personality is never a challenge, and I love to play with her and take her on walks. My extended family also has many dogs I grew up with, so I am experienced with different types of dogs. I typically have free time in the mornings, as well as in the afternoon. Very willing to be flexible. My weekends are almost always open during the day; and that would be the best time for me to do longer days of care rather than just a couple hours of watching your pet. When I am not at school I have more flexibility during weekdays. In my home, my yard is not fenced, so Zelda is usually on a handheld leash (for quick outside time) or on a long leash (usually tied to the ground) when she wants to do her own thing. I always am supervising her outside to ensure her safety. I am very willing to adapt to different ways of having your dog be outside, as long as I am informed of them beforehand. When inside I always keep a close eye on my dog, as she tends to get into trouble here and there. I always make sure I have toys on hand, as well as treats. Whenever I am taking care of a dog I always try to make sure they are as comfortable as possible.

Heidi is one of the best dog sitters we have ever had! She and her son took amazing care of Vinny. She sent me pictures every day (and I mean each day) of her son snuggling, playing, and reading stories with Vinny. She was nice enough to drop Vinny off at our house so that he would be there when we got home since we had a late flight. We are already about to message Heidi to watch Vinny again!

She really cares about the pets she sits and we had a great experience with her helping sit Sophie while we were away for Thanksgiving. We will absolutely be booking her again, thank you! 🩵

About: Hi! I’m Aleah, a lifelong animal lover with years of hands on experience caring for pets. I grew up in a home with 6 dogs and 3 cats, so caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. From energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience and attention, I’m comfortable with animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently have a dog of my own, which has given me even more experience with daily care, exercise, training reinforcement, and understanding each dog’s unique needs. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family member, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm and reliable companion while you’re away, I’m happy to provide personalized care to keep them comfortable, safe, and loved. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Because I currently have open availability, I’m able to be flexible with scheduling and can accommodate last minute bookings, extended stays, and pets who need more frequent attention throughout the day. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, so I have the time and dedication to focus on providing reliable, attentive care for every animal I watch. I care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication administration (if needed), and plenty of attention and affection. In a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s space, providing regular updates, photos, and communication for peace of mind. I make sure pets get the exercise, mental stimulation, and companionship they need while maintaining a clean and secure environment. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, safe, and pet friendly environment where they can relax and feel at home. I pay close attention to each animal’s personality and needs, whether they prefer active playtime, long walks, cuddles on the couch, or a quiet place to rest. My goal is always to ensure pets are happy, healthy, and stress-free while their families are away.

About: Hi! My name is Sage and I specialize in animal caretaking and welfare. I have lived my entire life with at least one animal in the house and I have been dog sitting on and off since high school. I am certified in three years of dog training and currently live with my lovely cat, London. I’ve never met a pet that I haven’t loved, and past employers would describe me as dependable, easy-going, and kind. My days are entirely open, except for the occasional one or two days a week where I am called in from one of my other jobs. I am also a full-time college student during the fall and winter time, but my summers are almost entirely clear. In my home, I live with my cat London, and four other housemates. If your animal stayed with me, they would never feel alone and would always have somebody in the house that can watch them or be there for all their needs. We have a lovely backyard full of grass, a back deck for lounging and sunbathing and a large neighborhood for daily walks. Your pet would feel like a king or queen in a castle! :)

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 7 years through friends, neighbors, and family. I genuinely love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or just extra cuddles and attention. I also understand how important communication is, so I always send updates and photos to help owners feel at ease. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, and pet sitting during weekdays and weekends. I always try to accommodate each pet owner’s routine to help pets feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure pets stick to their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment and pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is being well cared for while you’re away.

About: I absolutely love dogs of all breeds. I am very familiar with the “bully breeds”, and larger breed dogs. I love cuddles and exploring, playing with toys, and meeting new friends at doggy parks. Working from home allows me to not have to leave your babies home alone for more than a couple of hours if I need to do errands. My 12yr old loves all animals and is willing to keep your babies active or relax and lay around. We can be a very active household, but we like to have a relax day here and there as well. Our favorite time of day is walking or running outdoors. We are pleased to have any age dog around! When your pup is with me, they will be loved and treated as if they have been in the home with us their entire life. I currently work from home so have plenty of flexibility. We have a big yard with plenty of pup toys, we are very observant and make sure everyone is doing good at all times. I am a dog trainer as well so know a lot of different skills to work with most dogs.

About: For over 38 years, I have had animals from cats, dogs, and pigs. I have a dedicated love and passion for animals; everything from walks to cuddles to playtime and treats. I'll make sure your fur babies feel loved, happy, and healthy. I am reliable and compassionate and excited to take care of your babies while you are away. I work from home during the week, which allows me to provide consistent and attentive care throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, pets, or cuddles, I’m able to be present and responsive to their needs. My priority is to ensure the safety so I will first check for fencing and leashing preferences of the family to ensure we are safe. I’ll also seek to understand all relevant home rules as they relate to pets and preferences.

When caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, safe, and pet friendly environment where they can relax and feel at home. I pay close attention to each animal’s personality and needs, whether they prefer active playtime, long walks, cuddles on the couch, or a quiet place to rest. My goal is always to ensure pets are happy, healthy, and stress-free while their families are away.

Took great care of our dog. Lots of friends for him to play with and he got lots of snuggles. Good communication on scheduling and sent us lots of pictures and updates to let us know how he was doing. Would recommend.

About: Hi! My name is Sage and I specialize in animal caretaking and welfare. I have lived my entire life with at least one animal in the house and I have been dog sitting on and off since high school. I am certified in three years of dog training and currently live with my lovely cat, London. I’ve never met a pet that I haven’t loved, and past employers would describe me as dependable, easy-going, and kind. My days are entirely open, except for the occasional one or two days a week where I am called in from one of my other jobs. I am also a full-time college student during the fall and winter time, but my summers are almost entirely clear. In my home, I live with my cat London, and four other housemates. If your animal stayed with me, they would never feel alone and would always have somebody in the house that can watch them or be there for all their needs. We have a lovely backyard full of grass, a back deck for lounging and sunbathing and a large neighborhood for daily walks. Your pet would feel like a king or queen in a castle! :)

About: I absolutely love dogs of all breeds. I am very familiar with the “bully breeds”, and larger breed dogs. I love cuddles and exploring, playing with toys, and meeting new friends at doggy parks. Working from home allows me to not have to leave your babies home alone for more than a couple of hours if I need to do errands. My 12yr old loves all animals and is willing to keep your babies active or relax and lay around. We can be a very active household, but we like to have a relax day here and there as well. Our favorite time of day is walking or running outdoors. We are pleased to have any age dog around! When your pup is with me, they will be loved and treated as if they have been in the home with us their entire life. I currently work from home so have plenty of flexibility. We have a big yard with plenty of pup toys, we are very observant and make sure everyone is doing good at all times. I am a dog trainer as well so know a lot of different skills to work with most dogs.

About: I’ve always been surrounded with animals, including dogs, chickens, cats, bunnies, and goats. I’ve dealt with a lot of different breeds ranging from Great Danes to Chihuahua. I’m currently a college student going to school for social work! I work at a nursing home as a CNA. I’m also in the Army National Guard. While that does keep me busy I do love taking care of animals in my free time and being active! I have been to a few training sessions with my own dogs, so I can help out with some basic training tasks. I can easily go on walks and runs with your dog. I’m very flexible with your needs so just let me know!

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was young. About 10 years ago I started watching animals for Family and Friends while they went on trips. I usually stay and watch the animals since I work from home I will be with the animals most of the time. I can also drop in and let animals out if needed. I’m very flexible. Working from home gives me that availability. I’m able to stop over and let animals out if needed as well. I can feed, walk, give meds etc. I care for the animals in their homes. I’m unable to take care of them at my house. A lot of my friends and family prefer that so the animals don’t have to change their environment.

About: My closest family, friends, and neighbors know just how obsessed I am with animals! I have a little fur ball of my own whom I absolutely adore. He's a chihuahua full of personality! In addition to caring for my own dog, I also have both local and international dog sitting experience. I have cared for a variety of breeds here in Minnesota and after graduating from college I accepted a house sitting position in Mexico in which I cared for Oso, a beautiful mixed breed dog! I am trustworthy, passionate and have a genuine love for all animals! I would love to care for your dog (s) while you are away! Currently I work remotely and reside in Chaska. I’m a 38 years old, non smoking female. I am well educated, responsible and enthusiastic. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask. I look forward to meeting you! Thanks for the opportunity to care for your pet! I can easily make your pet care top priority as I work from home and can work from any location. I have a flexible work schedule and can accommodate just about any request! I follow the provided instructions to ensure the animal is taken care of well! Routine potty breaks, regular walks/play time and of course scheduled water and food times!

Heidi is one of the best dog sitters we have ever had! She and her son took amazing care of Vinny. She sent me pictures every day (and I mean each day) of her son snuggling, playing, and reading stories with Vinny. She was nice enough to drop Vinny off at our house so that he would be there when we got home since we had a late flight. We are already about to message Heidi to watch Vinny again!

About: Hi! I’m Aleah, a lifelong animal lover with years of hands on experience caring for pets. I grew up in a home with 6 dogs and 3 cats, so caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. From energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience and attention, I’m comfortable with animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently have a dog of my own, which has given me even more experience with daily care, exercise, training reinforcement, and understanding each dog’s unique needs. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family member, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm and reliable companion while you’re away, I’m happy to provide personalized care to keep them comfortable, safe, and loved. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Because I currently have open availability, I’m able to be flexible with scheduling and can accommodate last minute bookings, extended stays, and pets who need more frequent attention throughout the day. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, so I have the time and dedication to focus on providing reliable, attentive care for every animal I watch. I care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication administration (if needed), and plenty of attention and affection. In a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s space, providing regular updates, photos, and communication for peace of mind. I make sure pets get the exercise, mental stimulation, and companionship they need while maintaining a clean and secure environment. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, safe, and pet friendly environment where they can relax and feel at home. I pay close attention to each animal’s personality and needs, whether they prefer active playtime, long walks, cuddles on the couch, or a quiet place to rest. My goal is always to ensure pets are happy, healthy, and stress-free while their families are away.
