Personalized care for your dog or cat - Rothsay

“Kittery did an amazing job watching my pup Fergie while we were on a long trip. I got lots of updates throughout the trip, and he had such a good time playing with her pup.”

“Penni and her daughter took perfect care of Murphy! They sent picture and video updates through his stay! We will certainly bring Murphy back in the future!”

Amanda C.

“They took amazing care of our aging Lab, who requires a ton of TLC, including meds 3X/day. They sent us photos of him attempting to chase the females, and was so happy. They gave us the assurance we wanted while we were on family vacation. Thank you so much!!!!”

“We received a lot of pictures, which we appreciated so much, and felt like our pups were very well cared for during their stay with Karen! Highly recommend!”

“I've use Troy & Emily 3 times now, and am very pleased with how things went. The third time I brought my girls to their house, my dogs were anxious to get inside, which told me they were happy to be there. I will be using their services in the future.”

About: Hi! I’m Eva, I'm a professional dog trainer and owner of Crockett K9 Services here in Fergus Falls. Boarding happens in my home environment, and each dog's day is scheduled around their individual needs for exercise, rest, meals, and routine. I take dogs of any breed, size, age, or behavioral concern, and I have experience administering medication and caring for dogs with health concerns. I pay close attention to detail, so feeding instructions, meds, and house rules are followed exactly. You'll get regular photo updates so you always know how your dog is doing! I'm home all day, so your pet is never left alone for long stretches. My days run on a routine built around the animals: training sessions, play time, exercise, meals, and scheduled downtime. Your dog or cat's day gets structured around their needs, not squeezed into mine! Dogs sleep in kennels at night and get scheduled kennel downtime during the day! If your dog does not go good in a kennel, please let me know and we can arrange care to your pet’s needs. I do day trips to parks on request, plus regular walks. There are plenty of toys and enrichment for both dogs and cats during their stay. If your pet does better solo, I can keep animals separated.

“Marianne did a nice job with our dogs. One of them is a rescue and has anxiety, and we definitely appreciate her patience and kindness with him.”

About: I grew up on a farm and had animals of all kinds around me. From chickens, cats, dogs, cows, pigs, horses and even lizards - you name it and I've probably helped with it! I'm currently retired and would love to hang out, go for walks and show your family member lots of attention when you aren't able to. We love dogs and live in a quiet lakeside neighborhood with the opportunity for long, lazy walks. We have a crate onsite and can crate as needed.

About: I have one 7 year old pup high energy and takes one pill per day so experienced in pulling on leash as well as giving out meds I would love to watch your pets I like going on walks and playing as much as we can through out the day ! ! I allow pets on furniture and can make sure they are taken care of. Can give medication to pets and am experienced in high energy pets

About: I treat every pet like my own — with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs. I have experience caring for puppies who need gentle guidance and positive reinforcement, as well as senior pets who need extra patience, slow walks, and medication reminders. I understand that no two pets are the same, so I take the time to learn about your pet’s personality, routine, and preferences. Whether it’s energetic playtime, cozy snuggles, or a quiet companion for your older pet, I adjust to what makes them happiest. ✅ Special skills: Experience with senior pets (including administering oral medications) Comfortable with crate training and basic commands for puppies Knowledgeable about pet safety and body language Reliable communication and photo updates so you feel at ease Your pet’s comfort, safety, and joy are my top priority! Pet care is more than just a job for me — it’s something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to every day. Spending time with animals brings balance and joy to my routine. Whether it’s a morning walk to start the day with fresh air, a midday drop-in visit for playtime, or evening snuggles with a senior pet, I make pet care a priority. I plan my schedule so I can give each pet my full attention, without feeling rushed. Their well-being comes first — I’m committed to keeping their routines consistent so they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. When I care for pets in your home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions carefully — from feeding schedules and potty breaks to medications, favorite toys, or special needs. I respect your space, and I treat your home as I would my own: with care and responsibility. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priorities. I provide plenty of love, attention, playtime, and companionship, so they feel secure while you’re away. You’ll receive regular updates and photos because I want you to feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for.

“Isabel was absolutely amazing, she took amazing care of our two cats!! She took so many great update photos of our babies while we were gone which gave us such a great piece of mind and let us relax!! Isabel is an absolute sweetheart!”

About: I’ve been around cats my whole life, but never had the joy of owning my own until more recently! We adopted our cat Winnie 2 years ago and our cat Meeka just 3 months ago. We love and adore them, they complete our little family.🤍

About: I've had cats my whole life growing up on a farm. I also have fostered cats in my home for animal rescue organizations. I have experience in administrating meds and have worked with a wide variety of injuries and illnesses with cats/kittens I've owned as well as fostered.

“Callan did a good job taking care of my dogs. I would highly recommend her.”

Cheryl S.

About: I have taken care of a whole bunch of cats over the years and be honest with you. They are their own creature. I love how the attitude always comes out even when you don’t expect it. My experience of taking care of cats is fun, energetic, and they can use a whole bunch of love. I know how to administer medication in keeping those litter boxes, clean and healthy is what’s more important to a cat and to a human. I don’t have a cat, but it’s the experience is what I cherish the most.

About: Growing up we had a few dogs. We owned a black lab, German Shepard, and German short haired pointer. Our family loved our dogs! In my adult life we haven’t owned our own dog, but we look forward to be being dog parents someday soon! We have also cared for family members & friends dogs, including a Huskie, Border Collie, and golden retriever. I’ve been wanting to get into pet care for a few years, I just haven’t had the space for it. We bought a house with a backyard that is perfect for doing so & now we’re going for it! I work full time at home & my wife Emily is a stay at home mom, while she’s fishing her masters degree. Between us we can easily give your pet the attention/time they deserve while they are away from you. We have a nice size backyard (no fence), along with plenty of room inside to move around and play. We have the flexibility to go on walks whenever they need & we are open to caring for all ages of pets as well as any energy level! We will meet them where they are at. The only pet we have is Merlin our cat. He is timid initially meeting new friends, but adjusts and does just fine once acquainted.

About: My daughter, Hannah would like to take care of furry (or non-furry) friends. She is almost 15 and my husband Joshua or I will be accompanying her as she takes care of your pets. We've had dogs for years. We've raised puppies, and taken care of our friend's pets many times. Hannah has taken care of dogs, cats, gerbils, hedgehogs, horses, ponies, goats, and chickens. She loves all animals. My husband and I work in education and have summers off. We can help transport Hannah for your pet care needs. We'll also be there for support. D We walk our dogs at least twice a day and run regularly with our one-year-old puppy. We also have an older golden retriever. We have administered medications, and shots, and can do some basic grooming.

“I am so grateful for Marianne! I was in a bind and needed somewhere for my dog to stay while traveling through and desperately reached out to her at almost midnight the night before needing service and she was so wonderful to take my little pup for a few hours while I had some work meetings. JUNO was very happy to meet her and went right up to her when we pulled in the driveway. She took great care of Juno and had excellent and speedy communication. Highly recommend her and will be using her again next time I’m in the area!”

About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life. I have fostered and volunteered with TMAR in the past, and absolutely love it. I’ve had more experience volunteering with young puppies, and the moms after their having their litter (our resident dog is our foster fail that I fell in love with after she had her puppies). I appreciate all ages including the wild youngin’s and the sleepy seniors. ❤️ Love giving baths and snuggles to the dogs that will take the extra love. I’m currently a full time night nurse at the VA in Fargo but live in Barnesville. I can assist with pet care as needed, I’m pretty flexible with my schedule. I have a very friendly dog who loves other dog-friends. I have fostered 8 dogs and can accommodate just about anything depending on the dog! I can work with kennel training if preferred or they can sleep in the bed with me. I would prefer to keep their routine as similar as their home routine as possible to make things easier for them! I have a 5 year old daughter who loves dogs just like her mom and loves nothing more than to help out- especially when it comes to playing. 😊
