“Once again, Nancy was so kind and so accommodating! She took in a second dog, who has some issues, and once again provided stellar care. I love that I can have complete trust, and know my dogs are safe AND happy!”
“Amber was absolutely amazing with our girl!! She had the perfect set up and I knew from the moment I met her, our pup was going to be very well loved and cared for. She sent me pictures the whole weekend! I highly recommend her!”
“Liz has been more than accomodating with my travel plans. She has been a great help with my pups. They seem to love to be in her home with her family & pets. I will continue using Liz’s services any time I will travel! My dogs are always well taken care of in her home. She is amazing!”
“Mike and Niki were SO good to our Raven girl! It was evident that they loved and cared for her like she was their own. We appreciated all of the picture updates throughout the weekend! We could see how much Raven enjoyed to be around them, and we think she was a bit sad to leave them! She was spoiled with walks, hikes, and lots of play time! Thanks again for everything, Mike and Niki! We will hands down book again if we find ourselves in the area!”

About: Lifelong animal experience – I’ve cared for animals my entire life, not just as a job but as a way of life. • Real dog-owner perspective – With 2 dogs of my own, I understand routines, energy levels, training reinforcement, and emotional needs. • Calm, patient care – Great for shy, anxious, senior, or high-energy dogs who need consistency and understanding. • Individualized attention – I don’t do “one-size-fits-all” care. Walks, play, feeding, and downtime are tailored to your dog. • Trust & reliability – I show up on time, follow instructions closely, and communicate clearly so you can relax while you’re away. • Home-style love – Your dog is treated like family, not a booking. Hi! I’m Shelbie, a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs and cats of all personalities. I live in a peaceful rural area with plenty of space for play, walks, and safe adventures. Your furry friend will get the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away! Dog Boarding (In My Home – Female Dogs Only) For the safety and comfort of all pets in my care, I only board female dogs. My Australian Shepherd has a strong personality, and keeping our home harmonious means I cannot accept male dogs. Female pups are always welcome, and they’ll receive lots of love, playtime, and cuddles in a safe, home environment. I work full-time from 8–5, but I’m happy to stop by during my lunch break for local drop-ins to take your sweet guy or girl out for a potty break, walk, or some love. I’m available after 5 PM, all day on Wednesdays, and all weekends. I’m reliable, flexible, and always happy to work with your pet’s routine whenever possible. I care for pets with patience, consistency, and lots of love—whether in my home or yours. While I don’t have a yard yet, I live close to a dog park and provide plenty of walks, playtime, and mental stimulation to keep dogs happy and exercised. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, play, and downtime. Safety and comfort always come first, and I make sure pets get individual attention, affection, and enrichment. In your home, I respect your space while ensuring your pet feels secure and relaxed in their familiar environment. I’m attentive, reliable, and treat every pet as if they were my own.
About: I am a huge dog lover<3 Caring for them is so rewarding for me. Learning their unique personalities and daily routines brings so much joy! I have cared for two Bichons for the past seventeen years. Since they both have now crossed over the rainbow bridge I am looking for a way to help others out... whether it is to take their dog for a walk during the week while they are at work or to care for them while their owners are traveling. I am mature and responsible... caring and loving your dog as much as you do. I have a special place in my heart for Senior dogs... my senior Bichon gave me so much love and caring experiences to share with others<3

“Nancy was fantastic! She was extremely flexible and accepted the drop in visits on short notice. The picture updates she sent put my anxiety to ease. I couldn’t have asked a better person to take care of my cat while away on vacation. 10/10!”
“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: I’m a lifelong cat lover with experience caring for cats of all ages and personalities. From playful kittens to sweet seniors, I understand that every cat has unique needs—and I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. If your cat needs medication, extra patience, or senior-specific care, I’ve got you covered. Need brushing to keep those coats smooth? Interactive playtime to burn energy or relieve boredom? Or just a calm presence and cozy companionship? I’m your girl. I treat every cat with respect, gentleness, and lots of love—because cats deserve care that feels safe, familiar, and stress-free.

“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!”
“This is my first experience using Rover. My boyfriend and I were camping in Akeley and we needed a dog sitter for the day. Nancy was very communicative and sent pictures throughout the day. I do believe my dog, Holly, played hard because she is tired this evening. There were other dogs and they all seemed to get along well. I highly recommend Nancy.”

About: Hi! I’m Madison, a lifelong dog lover with over 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I grew up with several different breeds and I’m confident handling dogs with all kinds of personalities — from shy seniors to high-energy puppies. What makes me different? I’m comfortable administering medications and recognizing signs of stress or discomfort. I also treat every dog like my own — with patience, joy, and tons of belly rubs. I believe walks should be safe, stimulating, and full of tail wags! Whether your pup needs a short potty break, a jog around the block, or just a new friend to hang out with, I’m here to help. Why Clients Love Me: • Always punctual and reliable • Updates with photos and fun notes after every walk • Flexible scheduling and last-minute availability • Training is also another option I like to throw out there With my job I’m also in Alexandria area often every week as well! Let’s get your dog’s tail wagging — I’d love to meet your furry friend/family member! I clean house’s, so my schedule is almost the same everyday unless clients need to move cleanings around. I’m typically off before 4pm everyday and some days earlier. I have an almost 3 year old dog that I’ve had since he was born. I had 2 litters of puppies so I’ve had experience in training 15 puppies! He is my pride and joy. He is very spoiled and loves to play ball. I would treat your dog as if it were my own. I have a huge heart & love to be around dogs of all sizes!
About: I have had at least one dog to take care of since I was 10 years old, and my extended family has always had numerous additional dogs. I feed, give water to, and entertain multiple dogs, of multiple sizes, on a daily basis. I have been responsible for a variety of breeds, as well as both indoor dogs and outdoor farm dogs. Raising sheep and working on horse/cattle farms throughout my middle and high school years has taught me how to care for all kinds of animals, big and small. I am currently waiting to ship out for Navy boot camp, so my schedule is very flexible and I’m available most days of the week. If overnight care is needed, my roommates are able to look after my dogs, which allows me to stay with pets for extended periods when required. I care for pets based on what they need most. Sometimes that means simply being there to keep them company, letting them out, feeding them, and spending time playing or relaxing with them. Other times it can mean giving a little extra attention and monitoring for pets who need more care.
About: I’m a reliable, animal-loving caregiver with experience working with dogs, cats, and a variety of farm animals. From daily dog walks to feeding routines and general animal care, I provide safe, attentive, and compassionate support for pets of all sizes and temperaments. My background with farm animals has strengthened my patience, confidence, and understanding of different animal behaviors, allowing me to offer calm, consistent, and personalized care for every pet I look after. Though my schedule can be hectic at times( like most folks) , I am very flexible with my availability, even on with short notice situations I provide loving, reliable care for clients’ pets, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while in my care. I follow each pet’s usual routine, including feeding on schedule, refreshing water, and administering any necessary medications. I give pets plenty of attention through playtime, walks, and mental enrichment activities suited to their energy levels. I also maintain cleanliness by keeping food bowls, bedding, litter boxes, and living areas tidy. Throughout the day, I monitor their behavior and health, and I provide regular photo or video updates so owners can see how their pets are doing. My goal is to create a stress-free environment where every pet feels loved and well cared for, while also giving peace of mind to their owners
