“Dayjah was wonderful to my high energy puppy while we were gone for 4 days. I was nervous leaving him but she reassured me and trusting her ultimately was the best decision I made. I would trust her with any of my dogs. Thank you so much Dayjah!”
“Melissa and her family were great. She was easy to book with and very accommodating with all of our requests. Our dachshund, Squatch, came home happy and tired from a weekend of playing and cuddles. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Frank and Clarissa were amazing. They sent us pictures, let us know how our dog was doing and kept us at ease. Our dog can be a little shy when he first meets people and they made him feel like part of their family. Highly recommend!”
“Mochi spent a full week with Carine and her family, and it went very well. Communication was excellent - Carine was attentive to all the details we shared and very responsive via text. We received updates throughout each day and during our trip, which we really appreciated. My kids loved seeing photos and updates of Mochi playing and cuddling with her kids. He was truly treated like one of their own, and it was clear how much he was loved, he will genuinely be missed by their family. Carine was also thoughtful about managing energy levels when another dog was staying at the same time and always checked in first. We felt completely comfortable leaving Mochi in her care and would absolutely use her again.”
“Regina is by far the best dog boarder I have ever had the pleasure of using. She makes being away from your dog so much less stressful. Daily updates and pics. I won't go to anyone else. She's simply the best”
“Brittany did a great job taking care of Noah overnight and thru the following day. He got along well with the other dogs in her home and came back tired but happy! Thank you Brittany for taking good care of him.”
“Our dogs were well taken care of. I loved the pictures that were sent and it showed them enjoying their stay. Tracy took good care to treat the dogs for who they were and their different life styles. Our oldest needed her spot to sleep and they accommodated her. Our youngest got his playtime. He came home exhausted and happy. Will use again!”
“Our pup had a great stay with Vanessa & Andrew! We were impressed right away at the meet and greet when they asked a lot of questions and took notes. They are very kind and caring people. They also are very knowledgeable when it comes to dogs including puppies! During our pup’s stay, Vanessa & Andrew sent daily pics and updates on how she was doing which was so appreciated! We will definitely book with Vanessa & Andrew in the future!”
“Amanda and her family provided a safe, loving and adventure- filled stay for our pup (pontooning on the lake!). We know our pup had a great time as she’s been sleeping a lot since her “vacation”!!”
“I'm jealous that we don't have a fenced in yard as Cameron looked so happy to be wandering in Kiersa's yard. Great communication by Kiersa. Have already booked again!”
“She took the best care of Mabel! We received lots of photos and she was flexible on pick up time when we needed to adjust. Would absolutely recommend and will be bringing our sweet pup back!”
“Miranda did a great job with our pup, nice meet and greet which made us feel good about where he was staying. Very dog friendly and comfortable. We asked for daily pictures and that was no problem. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”
“Ashley took such great care of our fur baby Ginger, she sent us photos everyday of them walking, going to the park, hanging out, it was really nice hearing and seeing how she was doing while we were away. I would highly recommend Ashley, we’ll definitely be using her again.”
“Amazing Care for Our High-Energy Doodle Puppy! We couldn't have been happier with the care Jeremiah provided for our energetic doodle puppy during his three-day stay. Finding someone who can handle a young, high-energy dog is crucial, and Jeremiah exceeded all our expectations. Their home is incredibly clean and nice, and the fenced backyard was perfect for our puppy to burn off steam safely. It was a huge bonus that they have their own sweet doodle—our guy had an absolute blast making a new friend and getting constant companionship! Communication was prompt and reassuring. We received updates and very cute pictures via text throughout the stay, which made us feel completely at ease. They took him on multiple walks and ensured he received excellent care and attention the entire time. Overall, our puppy truly enjoyed his stay, and we are totally satisfied. We will absolutely be repeat customers and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a loving, responsible, and fun home for their dog!”
“First time using Rover, was in a bind and Brandi came through. Oakley loved it and felt at home with their family right away. She sent pictures and updates on how he’s doing. Very good and strongly recommended, if you’re in Carver, even a plus because Oakley does nothing like long car ride. Thank you Brandi...”
“Katie was fantastic while we were abroad in Croatia! She sent regular updates on how Toby our senior Boston Terrier was doing, included multiple photos of them together, and was available for brief conversations if we had questions. We were very happy with the service Katie provided and we are looking forward to leaving Toby in her care again soon.”

“Kayden was fantastic! She was reliable, communicative, and took such great care of Jax while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was getting lots of love and attention, and she always made sure he was doing well. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Kayden again. Highly recommend!”
“Katie is the best. I knew when I met her she was going to be great. Both my kitties had meds and she was able to administer them well. She sent pictures and kept me informed of all that was happening with the kitties. I highly recommend her.”
“From the minute I met Sydney I knew she was going to be a trust worthy gal to take care of my granny cat. Sydney has been so kind,punctual , sent pictures, videos and updates every visit, even spend some extra off the clock time to pet my cat finish her nap on Sydney’s lap. I would recommend Sydney to anyone looking for a a sitter for their pet .”
“Regina is a true gem! She went above and beyond for my cat. From starting out with in-home visits to realizing he wasn't coping well and offering to take him to her home. I am beyond grateful and highly recommend Regina.”
“Emma was amazing. Very communicative, kind, and loving with our two cats. It was such a gift to have her watch our girls and gave me the peace of mind I needed to truly enjoy our vacation. I am so grateful for her!”
“She was amazing and made it so much easier to be away for 8 days. I felt really comfortable knowing my pets and house were in good hands. She also went above and beyond by bringing in mail/packages and taking the garbage out, which really helped ease my anxiety while I was gone. Will definitely book with her again!”
“Dawn is such a great sitter! She is extremely knowledgeable about animals and very caring. She was also really flexible when we had to change our plans. She did a great job caring for our elderly cat. Thank you Dawn!”
“Lindsey and her girls were great with our middle aged cat, Lambeau! They gave him lots of love and were a great help while we were out of town, checking on him everyday, being very responsive to messages, and picked up after some messes he made! If you have a chance to book Lindsey, your pet is in great hands!”
“Amy is the absolute best. She is so kind to our kitty and goes above and beyond to play with him, give us thorough reports and photos and just loves on our beloved kitty so much when we can’t be there. We are very lucky to have her!!!”
“Truly a wonderful experience! I was out of town for a wedding, and had to leave my anxious pup alone for the first time. Gabrielle made the process so easy - and made sure to keep me updated and took good care her! She kept up with her meds, and paid close attention to other dogs while out on walks. Will be booking again!”
About: Savannah here! I have three dogs and an orange kitty. I’ve been around animals my entire life and absolutely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have experience caring for senior dogs and pets that may need a little extra patience, attention, and love. I’ve also been around dog breeding for 10+ years, which has given me experience with dogs of all ages and personalities. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace, I’m happy to provide care that fits their needs! My services include: •30 minute dog walks include a fun stroll around your neighborhood to help your pup get fresh air, exercise, and a little adventure during the day. •30 minute drop-ins include potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and of course plenty of love to make sure your pet is comfortable while you're gone. You can book up to three drop-ins per day! Every pet is different, so I’m always happy to accommodate extra needs or customize visits to fit your pet’s routine. My availability is flexible, feel free to reach out with your preferred dates and times! • I always offer a (free) 10-minute meet-and-greet before any drop-in or walking service. This gives us a chance to meet, helps your pet get familiar with me, and lets us go over their routine and any other needs. Meet-and-greets are not required to book with me, they are simply available if you’d like a little extra comfort and peace of mind before our first visit!
“Desiree completed multiple drop-in visits (2x daily) during a week-long vacation for my two senior cats. Mr. Twix is diabetic and requires insulin injections twice a day. Desiree was happy to stop over ahead of the trip to go over insulin and daily routines. I asked for photo updates and Desiree was happy to share! She graciously cleaned one poo mess and even helped reset the fuse box when the cat fountain stopped working. Twix and Butters were calm and happy when I arrived home. I felt comfortable on my trip knowing the kids were getting love in my absence!”
“Dayjah was a perfect match to our sweet little kitty. She was very communicative, kept in touch, ask questions, and reassured us that our little fuzzball was doing well. We'll definitely call on her again.”
About: I’ve lived with cats my entire life and truly understand their rhythms, quirks, and personalities. From outgoing, playful kittens to shy, sensitive adults, I’m comfortable meeting every cat exactly where they are. My soul kitty, Aida, taught me how deeply cats bond and how important it is to respect their space, routines, and communication. Because of her, I’m especially tuned in to subtle cat body language — the “soft signs” that tell you when they want affection, when they need space, or when something feels off. I’m experienced with: • Litter box care & multi-cat households • Slow introductions and trust-building for shy cats • Routine feeding (including picky eaters) • Play enrichment tailored to energy level • Senior cat needs • Oral and topical medications • Keeping cats comfortable while their humans are away I’m calm, patient, and quiet with cats — which often helps even the more cautious ones warm up quickly. Whether your cat wants snuggles, playtime, calm companionship, or a low-stimulus visit, I adjust to their comfort level and give them the kind of thoughtful, respectful care they deserve.

“When our normal sitter for our 18 year old dog was unavailable we selected Dayjah to fill in. As our dog is old, we are very protective with him. We spike with Dayjah on the phone first. It was clear that she not only was very knowledgeable about about pet care, but even more important, she loved animals. Our dog did fantastic with Dayjah. Infact, he did not seem to want to leave when we picked him up. Dayjah has my highest recommendation in providing safe and loving care for your pet!”
About: I’ve had dogs of my own over the years and have raised them from puppies, so I’m very familiar with all stages of a dog’s life from training and high-energy puppy behavior to the needs of adult and senior dogs. I’ve also personally fostered two daschund dogs for several years while a friend went through a difficult transition, caring for them full-time until she was able to find pet-friendly housing. That experience really deepened my understanding of long-term, committed pet care. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds from larger dogs like Boxers to small breeds like Boston Terriers, Dachshunds, and Yorkies. I truly love them all and adjust my care based on each dog’s personality, energy level, and needs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just companionship, I focus on making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine since I work from home Monday–Friday, which gives me flexibility for walks, feedings, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day. My availability is open, and I’m also available most weekends. At my home, I provide a safe, family-friendly environment where pets are cared for like part of the family. I have a 10-year-old girl and a 13-year-old boy, so I always ensure interactions are supervised and safe for both the pets and children. I follow each pet’s normal routine and make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while staying in my home.
“Bagel loved her time at Carine’s home. She had so much fun with the kids and other pups staying with them and slept good at home afterward. We got lots of pics which is so fun! Thanks for taking such great care of bagel!!!”
“I can't say enough about the fantastic care and love my pup received while at Kate and John's! I have a very active spaniel and playing outdoors, in a fenced in, safe environment is all I could ask for. The bonus is their kind and gentle dog that is ready to play with my pup when he arrives. I will definately book again!”
“Our dog is an energetic dog that also needs some supervising and Tracy’s place was a great doggy daycare spot for his needs! She has a big fenced in yard that he can run around in, and dogs that he can play with! Would recommend”
“Our dogs had a wonderful time with Emily and her family. Emily was a great communicator all the way through and our boys were very well cared for and loved. We will definitely be using her again!”
About: With 30 years of dog‑care experience, I’ve done it all—groomer’s apprentice, breeder house‑sitter, and professional treat‑dispenser. Your pup gets a work‑from‑home buddy, a fenced yard for maximum zoomies, and all the cuddles they can handle. Special needs? Meds? Extra attention? I’ve got it covered. Basically, your dog’s about to live their best life. Pet care fits naturally into my day because I work from home, so I’m able to give dogs consistent attention from morning to night. With 30 years of experience—including working as a groomer’s apprentice and house‑sitting for dog breeders—caring for pups is part of my everyday rhythm. I take regular breaks for potty trips, playtime, and zoomies in the fenced yard, and I offer both daycare and boarding, depending on what your pup needs. Your dog’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I provide a secure home environment, a safely enclosed yard for outdoor fun, and plenty of cozy indoor spaces for rest and snuggles. I’m experienced with medications, special‑needs care, and senior pups, and I treat every dog like my own—patient, calm, and attentive. You can trust that your pup will receive reliable, loving care and a true home‑away‑from‑home experience.
“Kara is absolutely amazing! Not only is she top notch! Her family is out of this world as well! I am so grateful to have found such a wonderful place for Leo to spend his days while I am at work.”
“We just wrapped up our first day of doggy daycare with Jen, and we are so happy to have found such a wonderful family closeby with a fenced yard!!! Jen provided photos and updates throughout the day, which put me at ease. I love that her kids got to play with my dog as well. And I can tell my pup had a great time. We will be repeat customers for sure!!!”
“Our dog always leaves happy from her stays with Jeremiah and his family which gives us great peace of mind. He has been so flexible and has had great communication with us on the many days we’ve had our Husky stay for doggy day-care. I highly recommend Jeremiah!”

“Sonja and Adam were both very nice and their dogs too. I received a cute video of my dog playing with one of their dog during the day. They always answered my message quickly. They took care of Lola very well.”
“Kristen and her family welcomed Oreo as if he was their own dog. I felt confident that he was getting all the attention he needed. He got some love and exercise and a much welcomed break from his new little fur brother for the day. He is a fast eater, so still eats a lunch and that wasn't an issue at all for them. I know he would be happy to go back for a visit and some playtime with the kids anytime. Thanks for taking such great care of our big boy!”
“Coco loves spending time with Kj. & Bailey. She is never in any hurry to leave & comes home relaxed & happy. Our time away is free of any worry, as we know that Coco is in good hands. Thank you Kj.”
About: Hi! I’m Megan, and I’ve spent years working hands-on with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have a strong background in pet care, including working as a dog trainer for both group classes and private clients, as well as experience in dog daycare, boarding, and veterinary settings. I’ve cared for dogs in many environments and I’m comfortable handling everything from basic care to more behavior-focused needs. I have experience reading dog body language and helping pets feel safe, comfortable, and understood. In addition to my professional experience, I’ve been extensively involved in rescue work as a foster home and running a shelter behavior group of volunteers so I’m especially patient with reactive, anxious, or higher-needs dogs. I truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality and tailoring care to what works best for them. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight care, you can count on me to provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care—just like I would for my own. I’m currently a stay at home mom and so I am able to be flexible in most cases. Evenings and weekends will be my most available times! I have two dogs of my own who are very used to new animals coming and going. I don’t have a fenced backyard, but do have tie outs or can leash walk any pets at my home. Every animal has different needs, so I will do my best to figure out what sleeping arrangements make them the most comfortable during their stay (I have kennels of every size so people do not need to bring theirs back and forth unless they prefer to). I’m well versed in methods of calming for pets that might be nervous. I do have a 6 month old infant at home who is very used to dogs, but any pets coming in to my home would need to be safe and comfortable around her.

About: I have worked with dogs and cats doing on 6 years now, and have had the opportunity to be around a ton of personalities and care for many different energy levels. In this, I also have experience crate, house, and yard training! Though I’m currently at college, I have quite a few breaks during the day in which I could check in on any pets and make sure they are happy, heathy, fed, and don’t need to use the restroom. I have all nights and most weekends free, and have flexible hours during most of the week. While it certainly depends on the personality and age of the pet, general care would include meeting the basic needs (food, water, bathroom breaks, and running/walking time) while also being ready and able to play, facilitate enrichment times, and cuddle especially clingy pets.

About: I have owned both cats and dogs in my life time, as well as pet sat for many friends and family over the years. I currently own a black American shorthair cat named Daisy :) I am a single mom who has my kids 50% of the time. When I have my kids, I cannot do overnights but I am open to dog walks, play dates, and feedings. When I do not have my kids I have more flexibility to be with your animal(s) for a longer period of time Given my townhome and the pet I own I currently cannot have animals stay with me. I care for all animals with the utmost gentleness and care. I am able to play with and walk dogs / cats
About: I have several years of dog and house-sitting experience through word-of-mouth referrals, caring for pets during trips ranging from a few days to a week and a half. I strive to find what works for each pet as an individual. I have experience caring for elderly dogs, administering oral medication, and working with multiple pets. I’ve cared for a range of dogs—from picky eaters and nervous, anxious dogs that preferred a consistent schedule and energetic dogs with mischievous streaks. Working with such different dogs has helped me become flexible and responsive to a wide range of temperaments and care requirements. Past clients have repeatedly trusted me with their pets and homes, and many have returned for additional bookings. Through these experiences, I have followed detailed care instructions, monitored pets for changes in behavior, provided excercise and affection, maintained a safe environment, and communicated reliably with owners. This means that when a situation is worrisome, I will err on the side of caution as well as informing you. My goal is always to make pets feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away and for you to feel secure your pets are safe and in responsible, good hands. As a college student home for the summer, I’m currently working part-time, and my hours are somewhat inconsistent (with a trend towards more availability in the evenings), however taking time off would be no problem for me should it be required, given there’s sufficient advance notice. When caring for pets in a client's home, I always prioritize following any provided instructions and established routines. In this respect, I especially appreciate detailed care notes, as they help me provide the most consistent and personalized care possible. Every pet is different, and I believe clients know their pets best. At the same time, I use good judgment and common-sense safety practices to ensure pets remain safe, healthy, and comfortable while their parents are away. I am patient, attentive, and observant, and I make it a priority to learn each pet's personality, preferences, and needs. Whatever that means, I aim to adapt my care to what will help each pet feel most at ease. I also value staying in contact with pet parents throughout their time away, as much as their availability and preferences allow. Regular updates help provide peace of mind to everyone, and if any questions or unexpected situations arise, I can communicate promptly so clients stay informed and involved in decisions regarding their pet's care. My goal is to create a safe and familiar environment where pets can thrive and clients can feel confident that their pets and homes are being well cared for.

About: Since I was a little girl, I've always held a love and care for animals. I cared for all, big and small. Always cared for critters growing up and started pet sitting when I was in Middle school. Over the years I have had experience with many types of animals and caring for many as pets, fosters, and pet sitting. I have cared for puppies, elderly pets that require medical care. I have fostered over 100 animals and pet sit for just as many. I have worked in a dog boarding establishment, and a pet store caring for reptiles, amphibians, and various small animals, and currently work on a farm part time caring for horses, cats, dogs, chickens. I have had dogs, cats, chinchillas, rabbits, sugar gliders, rabbits, tortoises, frogs, hedgehogs, hamsters, fish, shrimp, crayfish, birds, etc. in my care and am happy to provide excellent and quality care for any type of animal you need care for. I have 2 responsible older kids who love animals and we have a houseful of love and animals. We would love to spend time with your precious pets and I have the love, time, and resources to meet all their needs and adjust to their schedule. We believe in slow, positive intros, and a safe and happy environnent. I always keep dogs in my care in our new fenced yard or on a leash. Fence has technology to notify me if a gate has opened. I supervise during play time and separate animals during food times. Make sure they have everything they need, including medications, or extra cuddles, walks, etc. Work with animals using positive reinforcement and praise.
“Regina is a wonderful dog walker! We had a last-minute issue while I was recovering from foot surgery and needed someone to walk our little Coco for a few days. Thankfully, Regina was available to step in, and she has been fabulous! She is terrific with Coco, and I'm sure she is Coco's new best friend.”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was in my teens. I watched the neighbors dog with my sister when they were on vacation growing up. My sister had a Pomeranian dog breed throughout high school into college. Have experience watching Shih Tzu's, Chihuahua's, St Bernard, and Black Labs. I have experience watching a mixed husky (breed) and have known the dog since 2014. I most recently watched Renly while they were on a camping trip during the summer of 2023. This dog lives with epilepsy and special care was provided twice a day! I have experience with little and large breeds and enjoy animals and getting outside for a walk after work! I am working full time during the weekdays, available during the weekday evenings and weekends to be at home providing pet care. I can take for walks after work for exercise. I can crate your dog as needed or kennel when I am not at home. I pay close attention to the dogs when outside to ensure they are safely in the yard. I have experience with electric fences and houses that do not have the electric fence.
About: I grew up on a hobby farm with dogs, cats, horses, chickens and goats. I have always been around animals of all kinds. My friends and family call me whenever they need a pet sitter as I enjoy taking care of animals. I currently work from home, so I am able to have animals at my home, stay at client's homes with their pets or just stop by to check in or do walks. My work schedule is flexible. I own my own home with an unfenced yard, but I do have outdoor dog hookups and a friendly neighborhood to walk animals. My furniture is pet friendly and I always love a good snuggle.
About: I have taken care of many pets for clients, family members, and neighbors. I love working with and caring for both dogs and cats, and I will do so in a safe and caring manner. I am currently available on most weekdays and Saturdays for dog walking and general care. I am working with a very flexible schedule, so I can prioritize pet care assignments each week. When caring for pets in my client's home, I create a safe and positive atmosphere. I love taking the opportunity to go on walks and adventures with dogs, and lounge and play with cats!
About: Hello! I'm Tina. I live in Waconia, and I'm looking to care for your dogs, for walks, quiet snuggles, or just a good run around the back yard. Will house/pet sit as well. I've had 3 dogs in my life, and 20+ years of playtime, laughs, and bonding with my "kids" as I call them. I currently have a 15 year old shih tzu/mix who is my baby. In the past, I've taken care of one of my dogs, who had many health issues, so I'm experienced with senior or special needs animals. I've administered meds (pills), spent many days at the vet, and am very sensitive to ill animals and senior animals who just want to rest or have low key play. I have experience with puppies as well who are looking to just have fun! I'm very responsible and dedicated to my animals, and would be the same with yours. Give me a try! =) Right now my schedule is open availability, so I'll have plenty of time to devote to your animal and their needs. I have availability on weekends as well, but that can change by the week. I have an unfenced yard and one senior little ole lady shih tzu who is extremely low maintenance and very sweet. She has free range of the house, but I do crate her when I'm away from home for periods of time.
About: 🐾 About Me Hi! I’m Anna — lifelong animal lover, certified cat-obsessed, and the kind of person who stops to say hi to every dog on the sidewalk. I grew up with both cats and dogs, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I lost my soul kitty, Aida, who taught me so much about love, patience, and tuning into an animal’s emotions. Because of her, I show up for every pet with extra gentleness, attention, and respect. I know how important it is to feel like your pet is safe, understood, and happy while you're away. I’m calm, reliable, and easygoing — but also fun, playful, and fully committed to making sure your pets feel comfortable and cared for. Whether your pet is social, shy, quirky, energetic, or a little stubborn, I meet them exactly where they are. 🐶🐱 My Pet Care Approach ✨ All animals welcome — cats, dogs, seniors, shy pets, and everything in between. ✨ I prioritize safety, routine, and communication. ✨ I’m patient with anxious or nervous animals. ✨ I give lots of updates so you never wonder how things are going. I understand how hard it can be to trust someone with your pets — so I make it easy by treating them like my own. 💬 What Services I Offer -Drop-In Visits Perfect for feeding, litter scooping, playtime, cuddles, and check-ins. I’m great with shy cats. 💖 Why Choose Me? • Calm, patient energy animals naturally relax around • Experienced with cats of all ages • Big heart for pets with quirks, anxiety, or special routines • Reliable, communicative, and never rushes through visits • A little extra love in honor of Aida, my heart kitty Since I work from home, it’s easy for me to step out for drop-ins or walks throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, so I can accommodate morning, mid-day, or evening visits. Pet care blends smoothly into my week and gives me something grounding and joyful to look forward to. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow the routine you already have in place. I handle feeding, fresh water, litter scooping, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any medications as needed. I also pay close attention to your pet’s mood and body language so I can adjust my approach — some pets want play, some want cuddles, and some prefer calm company. For house sits (no overnights), I make sure pets feel comfortable in their space, stick to their schedule, keep things tidy, and give frequent photo updates so you always know they’re doing well.

“Dayjah was wonderful to my high energy puppy while we were gone for 4 days. I was nervous leaving him but she reassured me and trusting her ultimately was the best decision I made. I would trust her with any of my dogs. Thank you so much Dayjah!”
“Melissa and her family were great. She was easy to book with and very accommodating with all of our requests. Our dachshund, Squatch, came home happy and tired from a weekend of playing and cuddles. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Frank and Clarissa were amazing. They sent us pictures, let us know how our dog was doing and kept us at ease. Our dog can be a little shy when he first meets people and they made him feel like part of their family. Highly recommend!”
“Mochi spent a full week with Carine and her family, and it went very well. Communication was excellent - Carine was attentive to all the details we shared and very responsive via text. We received updates throughout each day and during our trip, which we really appreciated. My kids loved seeing photos and updates of Mochi playing and cuddling with her kids. He was truly treated like one of their own, and it was clear how much he was loved, he will genuinely be missed by their family. Carine was also thoughtful about managing energy levels when another dog was staying at the same time and always checked in first. We felt completely comfortable leaving Mochi in her care and would absolutely use her again.”
“Regina is by far the best dog boarder I have ever had the pleasure of using. She makes being away from your dog so much less stressful. Daily updates and pics. I won't go to anyone else. She's simply the best”

“Our dogs were well taken care of. I loved the pictures that were sent and it showed them enjoying their stay. Tracy took good care to treat the dogs for who they were and their different life styles. Our oldest needed her spot to sleep and they accommodated her. Our youngest got his playtime. He came home exhausted and happy. Will use again!”
“Our pup had a great stay with Vanessa & Andrew! We were impressed right away at the meet and greet when they asked a lot of questions and took notes. They are very kind and caring people.

We will definitely book with Vanessa & Andrew in the future!”
“Amanda and her family provided a safe, loving and adventure- filled stay for our pup (pontooning on the lake!). We know our pup had a great time as she’s been sleeping a lot since her “vacation”!!”
“I'm jealous that we don't have a fenced in yard as Cameron looked so happy to be wandering in Kiersa's yard. Great communication by Kiersa. Have already booked again!”

“Amazing Care for Our High-Energy Doodle Puppy! We couldn't have been happier with the care Jeremiah provided for our energetic doodle puppy during his three-day stay. Finding someone who can handle a young, high-energy dog is crucial, and Jeremiah exceeded all our expectations. Their home is incredibly clean and nice, and the fenced backyard was perfect for our puppy to burn off steam safely. It was a huge bonus that they have their own sweet doodle—our guy had an absolute blast making a new friend and getting constant companionship! Communication was prompt and reassuring. We received updates and very cute pictures via text throughout the stay, which made us feel completely at ease. They took him on multiple walks and ensured he received excellent care and attention the entire time. Overall, our puppy truly enjoyed his stay, and we are totally satisfied. We will absolutely be repeat customers and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a loving, responsible, and fun home for their dog!”
“First time using Rover, was in a bind and Brandi came through. Oakley loved it and felt at home with their family right away. She sent pictures and updates on how he’s doing. Very good and strongly recommended, if you’re in Carver, even a plus because Oakley does nothing like long car ride. Thank you Brandi...”
“Brittany took great care of our dog while we were on a two week vacation! She was a responsive communicator and followed instructions to care for our dog. She also sent pictures and updates. We will definitely use Brittany again!”
“Milly had another great stay with Kate! We got daily updates so we knew our pup was happy and doing well. Can’t tell you how much we appreciate the care that Kate provides while we are away. She’s flexible, communicates and responds quickly and provides a loving environment. Can’t say enough good things about Kate!”
“Mochi has the best time at Alicia and Simon's! They send us daily pictures/videos/ and updates. When Mochi comes home he is always exhausted and sleeps for 2 days!!!”
