“Cynthia provided excellent care, lots of love and snuggles, and other fur friends for my Lily to play with. Beautiful setting in the country with a large fenced in yard. Safe and compassionate pet care. Highly recommended.”
“Morgan and Jennifer were amazing with my dog! They sent cute videos of him. He loved being there and was well taken care of. I will definitely be rebooking with them when I need to go out of town!”
“Absolutely could not be happier or more grateful for Margarita and her family. The whole process was super easy and after the meet and greet I left feeling 100% confident that bubba would be in great hands. Then traveling back home from Sioux Falls, we get hammered by blizzard conditions. The last 20 miles before finally giving up, I could barely see the lines on the road, let alone any cars in front of me. So we pulled off and checked in to a hotel. Thankfully Margarita was SUPER understanding and reassuring. I was in a bit of a panic worrying about this and that, and the fact that Loki didn't have to be one of those worries was a huge relief. When we finally made it back the next day I could tell he wasn't super thrilled about leaving, which is always what you want to see. (And with that massive yard, I can't blame him!) Will definitely be "boarding" with her and her family again in the future! Super communicative with updates and photos to put our minds at ease.”
“Sean and his family provided a perfect home away from home for our two poodles. He was very responsive and gave updates and pictures. I recommend booking with him and will be returning for future sitting needs!”
“Chelsie and her family were not only amazing and patient with Tilly, welcoming her into their home while we were away, but she was incredibly flexible with our ever changing travel schedule. Due to weather that prevented us from getting home when we originally anticipated, Chelsie was extremely understanding and accommodating to help extend Tilly’s stay with her family. This was so helpful by taking one thing off of our already stressful plates. Thank you for everything, Chelsie!”
“Aish did such a great job watching our dog Niko over the weekend. We got daily update pictures and messages which gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was doing well and being cared for. Niko looked happy and comfortable the entire time. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!”
“Becky was so attentive to Dewey. While I was gone, Dewey needed some medication from the vet. Becky kindly picked this up and we were on the road to recovery!! Can’t say enough about how well Dewey was cared for. We received text messages and photos regularly. Definitely would recommend!”
“We could not be happier having Ana & Michael care for our two dogs. We know they were well cared for, and we were kept informed about how well they adapted to Ana & Michael’s home. Knowing your pet is staying in a pet-loving home is such a wonderful feeling. Thank you Ana & Michael!”
“Ann was amazing. She took care of our senior dog with some medical needs and aging and gave Louise exactly what she needed with such positive kindness. We got pictures and videos and felt like our sweet little old lady dog was truly in the best care during our trip. I will definitely use Ann again because she was incredible.”
“Kelly did a great job watching my two toy Aussie’s! The dogs immediately got comfortable with Kelly and her two beautiful greyhounds. They loved the large fenced in grass yard— they were in dog heaven! Kelly sent photos and kept me posted on how my pups were doing. I so appreciated the updates since Kelly graciously took them at the last minute (due to a funeral in the family). I will definitely contact Kelly again— thank you!”
“Beth was great to work with. I have a high anxiety dog and it went much better than I hoped. Beth was calm and reassured me it would be fine and it was! It was nice to be able to enjoy my vacation and not spend it worrying about our dog.”
“My two dogs have stayed with Shelly and Mike twice now and they absolutely love it at their home. Shelly is so good with the dogs and makes them feel very comfortable in a new home. She takes them on multiple walks a day and gives them lots of snuggles throughout the day. I love getting pictures of the dogs every day as it shows me how good Shelly is with the dogs and that my pups are having fun there! I can’t say enough good things about Shelly and Mike! Thank you so much for taking such good care of them! ~Robin Brown”
“Marill was excellent with our dogs and it's very obvious she is a dog lover of all dogs and treats them as her own. It looked like they had the best time (she kept us updated with great pictures) and their very different needs were able to be met. Would happily bring my dogs there again and recommend to anyone.”
“Cheyann- was the best dog sitter we've ever had! Her daily photo updates made me feel at ease knowing our family dog was well taken care of. Cheyann has a gentle demeanor that made our dog feel right at home!”
“Rebecca and her family took such wonderful care of our fur baby, Colt\! She kept us updated with messages and photos of his daily adventures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away\. She also made sure he was brushed every day and clearly paid attention to all the little details\. Her entire family welcomed Colt with so much love and treated him like he was one of their own\. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend Rebecca to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pet!”
“ChatGPT said: I recently had the pleasure of leaving my 12-year-old dog, Pebbles, with Dee for 5 nights, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience! Dee provided excellent care for Pebbles, always keeping me updated with great communication. I could tell Pebbles was comfortable and well-cared-for, which made me feel at ease during my time away. Dee's attentiveness and kindness truly shine, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, responsible dog sitter!”
“Alecia and Todd (and their family) were wonderful with mini-goldendoodle, Ole, for a week+ over the holidays. They took great care of him, and it gave us such peace of mind knowing that Ole would be loved (and be a part of family life) while we were gone.”

“Kaitlyn was great with our kitties while we were away. She sent us pictures and updates about them all, I appreciated having someone to depend on to take care of our babies.”
“Avaiyah did a great job with our spunky and overly friendly dog when we went on a very last minute trip to see family. We had never done anything like Rover before and have only ever used the same boarder, so we were hesitant to try it out, but she made it so easy and we will definitely be using her again!”
“Robyn does an excellent job! We have 3 cats with an involved routine with very lengthy and specific instructions. Robyn is intelligent, communicates well, responds quickly, and follows detailed instructions well. She also has a calming presence and speaking voice, which is incredibly helpful for cats. She knows how to respect a cat’s autonomy. I was impressed that she approached them in a way that lets them decide if they want to receive attention. She provides excellent notes and photos with each visit. We are relieved to have someone like her to care for them while we are away.”

“Jessica was awesome and took great care of my two dogs despite a difficult start to their time together. My dogs decided to be somewhat less than cooperative. Jessica handled the situation incredibly well and allowed me to have a memorable visit with my family.”

“Marill was just wonderful! She's clearly a dog-lover, and Ollie had a fabulous time at her house! He played all day with her other dogs (as is evidenced by the many great photos and videos she sent me throughout the day), and came home last night happy and exhausted. He slept 15 hours straight! The idea was for him to get some energy out, and let me get some work done - so mission accomplished! I'll definitely rebook with Marill.”
“Margarita has been a wonderful, flexible, accommodating, understanding, champion for me and Spike. He is having a good time there. When I get him he is always a happy puppy and I can tell he is well taken care of. He comes home and he likes to take naps afterward, poor puppy having so much fun with her dogs and her cute youn son. Nice open space for Spike to walk on leash and not worry about his safety. Definitely booking again (already have the reservations). It’s nice to know that my 11week puppy has a loving and caring place that takes care of him while I am at work.”
About: My husband and I are former dog foster parents and love meeting/spending time with new dogs! We have two resident (foster fail!) dogs: Ace, a shy pitbull who LOVES other dogs and Tesha, a rambunctious tripod who LOVES people. We especially love older dogs in our house but are open to dogs 1 year and up. We have a fully fenced in backyard and a tie out available for outside play time. We have space to keep dogs separated if you have a dog that is shy or needs very slow introductions (we have a three level home). Our resident pups are allowed on our bed if they choose, but we have plenty of dog beds around too, and we do not allow them on our couch. We will do our very best to accommodate your pups needs and keep you updated on how your four legged family member is doing while you are away! I currently work from home and am able to take breaks to allow potty and attention breaks. My husband is also home most of the time and will be available when I am not. We like to do slow introductions to other dogs to ensure the comfort of our resident dogs and the visiting pups. We have the space to crate or allow roaming on separate levels if needed.
“Christy was excellent with communication. We needed a pet sitter near Northfield while we attended our grand daughter Sr choir concert. Riley liked Christy immediately and was a happy boy when we picked him up. Thank you!”
“Carrie and Mark are amazing with our little guy Ollie! He plays with the kitty Bennie, and gets lots of walks and play time in! He loves it so much there he runs right to the door without a second glance at me!”
“Jax's first stay with Leanna went great! She took lots of pictures of his stay and even sent us home with a gift - she made us an absolutely adorable ornament with Jax's paw print! I would definitely choose her again to care for our baby!”
“Chelsie was amazing with our dog, Frankie! He’s nervous with new people, so she let him tag along behind her and nap nearby, and her kids were very soothing and gentle with him. She also sent 3 photos throughout the day. I would absolutely book her again! Thanks, Chelsie!”
“Snow had a good time over at their place, I was going to be busy with work for the whole day and I found them available the day before. They sent pictures of her during her stay as well. Overall, Snow's satisfied so I am too.”
“Ann has been an absolute dream dog sitter. I know my dog is in excellent hands and I bring him every week. I recommend Ann to anyone, even those like me that is extraordinarily particular about who watches my dog.”
“Ashi did an amazing job at watching my two dogs. She kept me updated throughout the day with photos and video. They loved playing with her super sweet dog Simba and completely wiped each other out. Will definitely be back again.”
About: Hi, I’m Becky. I’ve had dogs in my life for over 25 years. I have dog-sat for several friends, fostered for a dog rescue and I look forward to caring for your furry friend. I have a super friendly dog, Spencer who will be here for some play time, too. I am at home with my dog Spencer, so I will have plenty of time to play, cuddle, go on walks, and care for your dog. Your dog will feel loved and right at home here. I have a partially fenced yard, and a sturdy tie out for potty breaks, or just lounging on the patio. Inside there is room to play with toys, or just cozy up, and look out the window ( My dogs favorite past time) I will be sure to send pics and videos of your dog, so you can see how much love and attention they’re getting.
About: My family and I have always had pets and we love them dearly! Pets bring such joy into a home and we would love for your pet to join our family for a visit. I work from home and my husband is home multiple days per week so there is always someone to play and cuddle your pets! We have an energetic 5 year old who loves animals and is very respectful of their space! We have a large fully fenced in back yard so lots of room to run and play. There are two adults, a 5 year old and a 3 month old in the house so many opportunities for snuggles and play! We lost our dog last year to old age and my son would love to have some pets visit to play! Animals are allowed on the furniture but we will respect the rules you have in place for your pet while they are home.
“Ana and her family were absolutely amazing! It’s clear that they truly understand how important our dogs are to us. Ana’s communication was unparalleled. She sent frequent updates with photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while Oreo was with them. Oreo loved playing with their sweet pup Bailey in their securely fenced yard and soaking up all the loving pets from the whole family. It was obvious that they genuinely love dogs and treat their visitors like part of the family. I also really appreciated the chance to do a meet and greet ahead of time so Oreo and Bailey could meet and make sure they were a good play match. I would feel completely comfortable having Oreo stay with them again anytime, and I know he would be thrilled to go back. I won’t hesitate to reach out next time he needs some playtime and extra snuggles!”
“Elizabeth cared for our Corgi and Cockapoo for two days while we were visiting the area. Our girls had so much fun with Elizabeth and her two daughters. We will absolutely book with her again.”
“I truly cannot say enough good things about Sarah and her wonderful family. From the moment i dropped him off, I could tell he felt safe and comfortable with them, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to have them watch my dog again- he will definitely be back!”
“I adopted my first dog and reached out to Shayla soon after. She responded quickly and I felt very comfortable bringing Gabi to her. Gabi had fun and they took great care of her. They also responded to my constant messages throughout the day checking in on her. I continue to use her for doggy daycare.”
“Steve and Diane watched Harvest for the first time recently. He had a blast and will definitely be contacting them for additional days. Thanks for taking such good care of my boy!”

About: Hi I'm Connie! I've been rescuing and caring for dogs for over 25 years, but have been an animal lover my whole life. I spend the majority of my time working with dogs, I understand them very well and love being able to share my passion to help others. I love spending time with dogs, and getting to know them, and I am well educated and rounded when it comes to their needs and wants. I have lived in Faribault MN practically my whole life and know the town, it's people, and the surrounding area very well. I have worked with the local rescues for the past 14 years and dedicate my life to giving every dog the best chance at finding their loving forever home.
About: I have 5 amazing dogs of my own, 1 pitbull, 2 American Eskimo mini and 2 Pomeranians. I had 2 liter of puppies from my dogs (1st liter was 10 pups, 2nd liter was 5 pups) and was able to raise them well for their furever home. I run a lot, so if your dog needs to exercise, you can count me in. Or simply needs a rest day, or any kind of special needs, I’m your girl. I work full time and have my own babies to care for, but I’m a super dog mom so I’m pretty flexible and prepared for anything. With my own experiences of owning 5 dogs, and raising 15 puppies, I feel like that should speak for itself. I do have a fenced in yard, I love dogs and I want them to be happy while they're with me or their own homes.
About: I have grown up my whole life around animals. When I was younger, I had smaller animals like hamsters and rats. In high school, my dad did get an English bulldog and he was my best friend! When we first brought him home, I took him to training and I loved every second of it! I would watch him almost every weekend for my parents. My sister also had a dog, her and I worked opposite schedules so I would take care of him during the day. I also took him through training as a puppy. So if you have a puppy and want them to learn a thing or two I can help! I currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats with my boyfriend. So I really understand how much your fur baby’s mean to you as I have some at home! I am working part time and looking for something to do with my other time! I’m available all day Wednesdays, Fridays after 2pm and just about every weekend! Something that I live by is treating others animals like your own! I am also very big on respect. Letting me into your home to take care of your fur baby’s means a lot to me. I love to just hang out with furry friends or go play outside, which ever you need from me I will do! I really would like to make sure you and your animals can trust me! Whether you have cameras in your home or need a check in hourly, I’m willing to do whatever you need to trust me in your home. Having that trust bond can really make or break a sitter! Besides trust I also value on making sure your animal is safe.
“Robyn is beyond great with my dog! We started with a meet and greet walk that went very well but after my dog was shy without me there. Robyn was very good at helping Trusty warm up to her! She is always open to suggestions when it comes to me and my dog's needs. Now Trusty absolutely adores her! She's always very punctual, takes good pictures,and leaves good notes on her walks. When she isn't able to walk my dog, she has notified me far earlier than what I expected. I leave for work at 5:00 in the morning and I've had time to readjust before I leave. Hopefully recommended!”
“Sarah was great and I will definitely use her to walk the pups again. She is a great communicator and took pics and made sure to let me know she picked them up and that they were home after their walk.”

I have grown up with a fear reactive dog, so I have experience with reading dog’s body language and reacting accordingly.

“Cynthia provided excellent care, lots of love and snuggles, and other fur friends for my Lily to play with. Beautiful setting in the country with a large fenced in yard. Safe and compassionate pet care. Highly recommended.”
“Morgan and Jennifer were amazing with my dog! They sent cute videos of him. He loved being there and was well taken care of. I will definitely be rebooking with them when I need to go out of town!”
“Absolutely could not be happier or more grateful for Margarita and her family. The whole process was super easy and after the meet and greet I left feeling 100% confident that bubba would be in great hands. Then traveling back home from Sioux Falls, we get hammered by blizzard conditions. The last 20 miles before finally giving up, I could barely see the lines on the road, let alone any cars in front of me. So we pulled off and checked in to a hotel. Thankfully Margarita was SUPER understanding and reassuring. I was in a bit of a panic worrying about this and that, and the fact that Loki didn't have to be one of those worries was a huge relief. When we finally made it back the next day I could tell he wasn't super thrilled about leaving, which is always what you want to see. (And with that massive yard, I can't blame him!) Will definitely be "boarding" with her and her family again in the future! Super communicative with updates and photos to put our minds at ease.”
“Sean and his family provided a perfect home away from home for our two poodles. He was very responsive and gave updates and pictures. I recommend booking with him and will be returning for future sitting needs!”
“Chelsie and her family were not only amazing and patient with Tilly, welcoming her into their home while we were away, but she was incredibly flexible with our ever changing travel schedule. Due to weather that prevented us from getting home when we originally anticipated, Chelsie was extremely understanding and accommodating to help extend Tilly’s stay with her family. This was so helpful by taking one thing off of our already stressful plates. Thank you for everything, Chelsie!”
“We could not be happier having Ana & Michael care for our two dogs. We know they were well cared for, and we were kept informed about how well they adapted to Ana & Michael’s home. Knowing your pet is staying in a pet-loving home is such a wonderful feeling. Thank you Ana & Michael!”
“Ann was amazing. She took care of our senior dog with some medical needs and aging and gave Louise exactly what she needed with such positive kindness. We got pictures and videos and felt like our sweet little old lady dog was truly in the best care during our trip. I will definitely use Ann again because she was incredible.”
“Kelly did a great job watching my two toy Aussie’s! The dogs immediately got comfortable with Kelly and her two beautiful greyhounds. They loved the large fenced in grass yard— they were in dog heaven! Kelly sent photos and kept me posted on how my pups were doing. I so appreciated the updates since Kelly graciously took them at the last minute (due to a funeral in the family). I will definitely contact Kelly again— thank you!”
“Beth was great to work with. I have a high anxiety dog and it went much better than I hoped. Beth was calm and reassured me it would be fine and it was! It was nice to be able to enjoy my vacation and not spend it worrying about our dog.”
“Marill was excellent with our dogs and it's very obvious she is a dog lover of all dogs and treats them as her own. It looked like they had the best time (she kept us updated with great pictures) and their very different needs were able to be met. Would happily bring my dogs there again and recommend to anyone.”
“Cheyann- was the best dog sitter we've ever had! Her daily photo updates made me feel at ease knowing our family dog was well taken care of. Cheyann has a gentle demeanor that made our dog feel right at home!”
“We had a great stay with Amanda and Michael! Our dog was there for 9 nights and we got updates daily as well as they reached out with any questions or concerns that came up which I really appreciated! Our dog came back happy and they seemed to treat her like family.”
“So grateful our Dane puppy got to stay with Steve and Diane while we were away for 8 days. It was clear he had a great time and they were super communicative and sent photos. They were also flexible when our flight got delayed and we had to push back a day.”
“Jasper just spent a week with Cindy and the rest of the pack. She sent cute pics all week to show he was doing well with the other dogs. I’ve never been away from him for this long….but never worried that he wasn’t being taken care of well. ❤️”
“Our Ruthie came back happy and Marine was great about daily picture updates! Also very accommodating with drop-off and pick-up times. Thank you for taking care of our girl!”
“Kami was amazing and the location is perfect! We had never boarded our 3 dogs and was a little nervous about the whole thing but after seeing the location and meeting Kami and her crew I was quickly put to ease. Lots of pics and communication over the 4 days and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. Highly recommend!!”
