“McKenzie was great. My dog had such a good time spending the afternoon with her dogs. She sent pics of them playing together. I will definitely use her the next time we are in town.”
“Lan has watched my puppy Posie a couple times now and she takes such great care of her! She’s super accommodating- my flight was delayed this past weekend and she was very nice about keeping my puppy longer than planned. Highly recommend her!”
“I can’t recommend Brooke enough! This was Archie’s first stay with a sitter since our move, and I was honestly so nervous leaving him. From the moment I met her, I knew he was in great hands. She kept me updated throughout his stay, and it was such a relief knowing he was safe, loved, and treated like one of her own. Archie settled in so well, ate all of his meals, and even made himself at home (including sleeping in bed with her 😂), which says so much about the environment she provides. As a flight attendant, finding someone I can truly trust with my dog while I’m away is invaluable, and I’m so incredibly thankful I found Brooke. She is kind, communicative, and genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. Archie came home happy, relaxed, and I already know she’ll be my go-to sitter moving forward. If you’re looking for someone to care for your pet like family, I wholeheartedly recommend her! Thank you again, Brooke! ❤️”

I get lots of photos during my trips, they are super communicative and flexible and I know Miles is safe and sound while I am traveling. Knowing I don’t need to worry is the best thing as a pet parent and I’m so grateful for how well they take care of my doggo when I am out of town!”

“Robert was great with our family dog Izzy.

“Great communication and care for our shy kitty! He usually hides from sitters but he came out for cuddles on day one of Anna’s visits. Felt great having him in good hands.”
“Jerome - Cat Sitter Extraordinaire!** I can't recommend Jerome enough as a cat sitter! For the past year, he has taken wonderful care of my cat, Bolillo, and I couldn't be happier with his services. From day one, Jerome has been incredibly reliable and attentive. He always communicates promptly, keeping me updated on how Bolillo is doing, which gives me such peace of mind while I'm away. It’s clear that he genuinely cares for animals, and Bolillo absolutely adores him! Jerome goes above and beyond, ensuring that Bolillo is not just fed and taken care of, but also engaged and happy. His warmth and kindness have created a lovely bond between them, and I feel so fortunate to have found someone who treats my cat like family. If you’re looking for a trustworthy and compassionate cat sitter, look no further than Jerome. He’s been a true blessing in our lives!”

My girls absolutely adore her, and were so excited to have Anna visit at our new apartment! If you need a worry free stay out of town, Annas got you covered. She even does odd tasks like cleam my cats goopy crusty eyes when I can't be there to do so.”
“Christina is the BEST. She went above and beyond for our cat Nim & formed a strong bond with him. He absolutely loves her and Christina is def our new go to sitter.

She is thoughtful, kind, highly responsive, and so easy to work with. I would recommend her to anyone!”

“We sent our high-energy dog to Toni for a full 12 hours and she was so easy to communicate with and super flexible with scheduling. The peace of mind to know that she was cared for and got a walk in during the day was wonderful. Highly recommend Toni for any doggy daycare needs!”
“Lydia has been so flexible with pick-up/drop off times and is willing to watch our dog on short notice. Mac absolutely loves her and I know he’s so well taken care of when he stays with her. Most times he doesn’t want to leave! We will use Lydia for as long as she’ll have him! ❤️”

“First doggie sitter for our Harper and did we score big time!! Alyson is amazing. Harper came home happy and tired. It must have been a great time!! Thanks Alyson.”
“Michelle took great care of Maya, my sweet 3 year old pup! Maya is pretty high energy and has some anxieties, so when I picked her up after the FIRST DAY she spent with Michelle and her resident dog, I was delighted and shocked that Maya barely acknowledged me when I arrived (I normally get 500 face licks and zoomies). Michelle clearly is very experienced with a range of dogs and also has a great backyard. We will be back!”
“Aimee was great. Patient with our buddy when he was nervous and her yard/house were a good fit for our pup. Good communication. We will reach out to her for daycare again!!”
“Emilie was so good to my dog, Walter. I felt really comfortable leaving her with him for the whole day. She sent tons of pictures of him while I was at work and said he played all day -- which was perfect! I'm definitely going to be rebooking in the future. :-) Walter was pooped once we got home.”
“River is wonderful!!! She helped us out last minute and we are so grateful!! Our dog seems to love going to her house and play with her dog, Luther, and any other dogs she might be caring for! Thank you thank you thank you!!!”
“Jessie cared for our Bernese Mountain Dog for a day of dog daycare. She responded quickly to my Initial request. We had a nice meet and greet where Jessie asked a lot of good question trying to make sure that she understood the needs of our dog. The drop off and pick up were smooth. We also received a super summary of Koda's day and photos. Top notch service. My family would highly recommend booking your dog with Jessie.”
“Amanda and Adam were so amazing with Winnie! Our dog is 1.5 years and has so much energy and they were able to tire her out! They gave frequent updates and photos! Winnie also had an upset tummy and they even made her rice ❤️ this has been our best rover experience yet!”
About: We have a double lot that is fenced in with lots of squirrels in the tree for your dog to keep track of. There is also a small but fun little dog that loves to play and run around. When your dog gets tired, there are ample laps available for hanging out indoors. Experienced dog sitters looking to help out the dogs who don’t want to be home alone all day, or help you get out for a trip. We both have very flexible work schedules, and boarding and daycare can include walks, yard hangs, and precise food schedules. Walks are already built into a daily routine. I have a fully fenced in yard that is tall enough to keep most dogs from jumping. Depending on the dogs needs, I am happy to limit outside time to walks or supervised yard play.
“I picked George up right after they'd come back from a walk - he obviously had a great time and burned some energy because he got home and went straight for a nap!! I appreciated how responsive Enrique was and flexible with my schedule, I look forward to booking with him again soon!”
“Everything with Lisa worked out great! She was flexible with drop off and pick up timing. My dog had lots of outdoor time in the fenced in backyard to run and play with Lumi and Lisa. We also received updates, photos, videos throughout the day.”
“Deanna is so welcoming to both me and my pet! I have been delighted with her care and communication. It makes all the difference in the world to leave my pet with a kind, caring, fun person and home and that's Deanna! My dog, Foxy, runs right up to her and comes back with a smile and signs of a fun day! Thanks, Deanna!!”
“Having recently moved to MN with a dog who has a challenging past and anxiety, I was initially worried for my dog, Benji. But thankfully, Benji is at complete ease thanks to Grace and Luke’s experience, care, and attention. In fact, he has so much fun and even cuddles with them! It’s clear to me that Grace and Luke go above and beyond for all the dogs who come under their care and I can’t recommend them enough. They are also just great communicators, listeners, and lovely people. Thank you so much, Grace and Luke!”

“Nyree was amazing, and I’d highly recommend her! She came every morning for a week to let my fur baby out of her kennel, give her breakfast, and take her for a quick morning walk. Leia absolutely looked forward to her mornings with Nyree, and I’m so grateful for the kind, thoughtful care she provided.”
“Jay was great! We will definitely request him again to walk Lucy😊. She’s a stubborn gal and a couple other walkers struggled to get her going- he walked a full 2 miles with her! Thank you again!!”
“My dog Charlie is 50 pounds of energy very difficult to walk. I've only had her for about 4 months. She pulls and lunges towards other dogs and anything else with four legs. Lauren has handled Charlie very well and has been flexible with my changing schedule. I highly recommend Lauren. I trust her with my Charlie.”
“Bailey was so wonderful to work with. She helped us out in a jam, covering walks for our dog when our dog walker was out of town for an extended period. She was so organized, professional, and helpful. She was very patient with our dog who is definitely a handful.”
“Jessica is a wonderful dog walker! Our pups are excited to see her every time she comes. She even goes above and beyond and occasionally brings our packages inside when she comes by. We recommend her services highly!”
“Iris was fantastic! She was able to help out last minute, even though we had never met before, and she immediately put me at ease. She showed up right on time, took great care of Tussey, and sent plenty of pictures during the walk. It was such a relief knowing Tussey was in good hands. Highly recommend and will definitely book with her again!”
About: I have experience caring for newborn puppies, as well as dogs and cats with special needs or medications. I’m comfortable following specific care instructions and making sure pets get the attention and care they need. I also have experience house sitting, so I’m comfortable staying in a client’s home and making sure both their pets and their home are well cared for while they’re away. I’m very attentive and flexible, and I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. I’m new to the area and currently looking for a full-time position, so my schedule is very flexible right now. I have plenty of availability throughout the week and can easily work pet care into my daily routine. I’m flexible with timing and locations and am happy to accommodate different schedules and the individual needs of each pet. I love having the opportunity to spend my extra time caring for animals, giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while their owners are away. I always want pets to feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I’ll follow their normal routine and any instructions their owner gives me, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, medications, or just giving them some extra attention and love. I know every pet is different, so I’ll take the time to get to know their personality and what makes them comfortable. My goal is to make sure they feel happy and cared for while their owner is away and to give the owner peace of mind knowing their pet is in good hands.
“If I could give 10 stars, I would. Henley is a very perceptive and sensitive dog who knows when he’s in the company of a real animal lover. Avita fits that bill perfectly. From the very start, he was happy and relaxed with her.🐶🐾💕 I highly recommend Avita!”

“We would highly recommend Ben to care for your pets. He has a clear love of animals and is very professional and easy to work with. We were able to relax and enjoy our trip knowing our dogs were being well looked after.”
“Haidyn is great with my pets! She provides ample exercise, love, and attention while also being very timely in communication. Haidyn has also done great with meeting the needs of my puppy, who isn't fully trained. There are things I'm trying to work on with the pup, and Haidyn does well in being consistent with my training.”

About: The Best Part of Both Our Days After 20+ years in the corporate design leadership world, I am soft retiring and putting my reliability, commitment and energy into helping others and bringing happiness to their pets. With 10 years of dog walking and pet sitting experience, I don’t just show up. I show up for your dog, on their terms. Every dog is different, and I believe in honoring that. Whether your pup likes to stop and sniff every inch of the sidewalk or prefers a brisk, energetic stride, I walk at their pace because a great walk isn’t about the distance, it’s about the experience. I’m comfortable walking multiple dogs at a time, making sure every single one enjoys their walk, gets the attention they deserve and takes care of their business. From the energy of a curious puppy to the gentle needs of a senior dog, I understand that every stage of life comes with its own needs and I embrace all of them with patience and care. But it doesn’t stop at the leash. I genuinely love spending quality time with dogs, whether that’s a relaxed afternoon cuddle on the couch or an enthusiastic play session with their favorite toys. I take the time to learn what makes each dog feel happy, safe, and loved. When you book with me, you’re not just hiring a dog walker or pet sitter. You’re giving your dog their favorite part of the day and honestly, mine too. What I offer: •🐾 Dog Walking at your dog’s pace, never rushed •🏠 Pet Sitting calm, attentive and home-like •🎾 Playtime & Chill Visits toys, attention and all the love •🐶 Puppy & Senior Care patient, experienced and always attentive Your pet is family. I’ll treat them that way! I work a flexible part time schedule three days a week, which means I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pet.

Whether your dog is most comfortable in their own home or joining me at mine, they will always receive the same attentive, personalized care. At my place, they are welcomed into a calm, quiet home with a fully fenced yard and a friendly 5 year old 25lb Australian Labradoodle who loves making new friends. Your dog’s comfort and happiness always comes first, wherever that may be.
About: I grew up with big dogs (labs) and now own a 3-year old doberman. I frequently take care of friends pets. My parents and sister both have big dogs that I care for as well. I am comfortable with any age and size dog. I am a recently certified Physician Associate, but am taking time off this fall before starting a job in January and I want to spend it walking doggos around town. I'd love to have somewhat of a consistent schedule so I can get to know the pups (and they can get to know me!). I will be available for walks during the week days. I am happy to go for big walks, or short walks and play time in the yard. I am also happy to bring dogs to the airport dog park to play with other dogs (if appropriate). If friendly, I can introduce your dog to my young dog to play as well.
“Charlie loves walking with Tracy. She has a calming and positive nature that helps with his high energy. He watches out the window for her. I really appreciate it, along with her flexibility with my schedule.”
