“Kristen and her family are wonderful. Leo was happy to come home but seemed to have bene well cared for. There's love and activity at their home. We are glad they are close by.”
“Robert did a great job with my geriatric dog. He got her to go for a longer walk than we've been able to lately, and was patient with her enough to accomplish that. He also sent lots of great pictures of how she was doing. Thank you for the great care!”
“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!”
“Carrie is amazing! My second time using her, first time booking for dog sitting in her house. Millie seemed to have a great time. Great communication and I felt very comfortable leaving her with Carrie! Thank you so much!”
“Simon is GREAT! Not only did he take my last minute request, but he communicated the entire time! Simon sent pics and videos, which kept my mind at ease. Best of all, Muffin returned healthy and very happy! I could tell he had THE TIME OF HIS LIFE with Simon! Thank you, Sir, for taking such great care of my baby! We found the BEST sitter in the Twin Cities! Highly recommend!”
“We had Marvel stay with Mike for a full week while we were out of town, and it was a great experience. Mike sent daily updates with photos and videos, which we really appreciated. It was clear Marvel was having an awesome time. Marvel even seemed a little sad to leave when we picked him up, which says a lot about how much fun he had! He’s now peacefully napping at home after a long, active week of playing.”
“If I need care for my yellow lab again in the future, I wouldn't want to take her anyplace else! I appreciated Nicole and David's "meet and greet" so all of us could be sure it was a good situation for her. Nicole and David are lovely people, and my dog was well-cared for.”
“Katie was so great! She was super responsive and sent pics while we were gone. Shes super friendly and took care of our dogs like her own. 12/10, would definitely recommend!”
“James and Jennifer were fabulous hosts to our Coco. This was the first time Coco was away for an overnight and different home so I am sure she was a little nervous and scared. They were so welcoming to us and Coco. Coco had a great stay and we can tell she was loved. We will definitely be using them again when we are in the area.”
“I couldn’t have picked a better sitter for Stella. I knew she was in good hands when I could see the joy and excitement they just had meeting her. I received excellent updates throughout the week along with pictures. Jon was super accommodating with all of my and Stella’s needs. I would totally recommend them to anyone!”
“Bethany did great with our older dog! Her home is cute and clean and provides a safe and quiet environment. She is very responsive and sent daily updates. We really appreciated the peace of mind while we were away and wouldn’t hesitate to use Bethany again!”
“Dawn was amazing while taking care of our dog Daisy. She knew just how to put her at ease and make sure she had a great time. She was very communicative with lots of photos and flexible when our travel plans changed due to the weather. We’ve found our new home away from home for Daisy!”
“Emily and Tim were great to leave Lenni with! They were very communicative and sent great updates. Lenni came back happy and wiped out after playing all week with the family and dog. It was great knowing Lenni was able to run around all week in a fenced in yard. I'd definitely reach out to them in the future for similar requests!”
“Jenny and Mark were great with Wall-e! He came home happy and healthy. They sent pictures during the day and even sent us home with some! Would book with them again in the future.”
“Kristine did an amazing job with our Dutch Shepherd, JoJo!! We left town for a few days and received updates daily, thank you. Kristine's very knowledgeable about various sizes/breeds and we knew our dog was in great hands. I highly recommend booking with her. :)”
“I have never felt this good leaving my dog with someone. Andrea was amazing - communicative, obviously loves dogs, and has an amazing setup for them. We know Gus had a great time!”
“Leo seems to have had a wonderful time. His behavior this evening is as if he just had a normal active day. Clearly he was comfortable enough to have cuddled up next to you. And he always enjoys a good walk.”

“Bonnie was great with our two black cats! She could even tell them apart! Made sure they ate, had some play time, and some cuddles during her drop ins. Lots of pics and notes about each visit. Highly recommend!”
“So grateful for you Vicki! We were out of town for a few days and didn’t know that we wouldn’t have cell service where we were staying. Knowing that Vicki was taking care of our 3 cats gave us such peace of mind—we didn’t worry for one second knowing that she was keeping a caring eye on them.”
“Rachel did a great job taking care of our cat while we were out of town. We loved getting our daily Pickles update and she was a happy cat when we got home!”

“Andrea went above and beyond taking care of our pets while we were out of town! Very responsive and genuinely cared for our pets. I felt at ease and knew that they were in good hands.”
About: I’ve loved cats for as long as I can remember. I’ve had a cat in my life since I was little, so caring for cats has always been something that comes naturally to me. I understand that every cat has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m happy to give them the patience, attention, and care they deserve. My goal is to make sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. 🐱❤️
“Katie was great, she came through on a somewhat last minute request when my prior sitter was no longer available, and made it work! I came home to a pretty mellow kitty and had the ease of knowing she was getting some love while I was away. No complaints!!”
About: I great up in a household of mainly dogs. I adopted my first cat 8 years ago and instantly became a cat person. I am known by family and friends as the person who befriends cats anywhere I go. My cat obsession has gone so far as to invade my home decore and clothing

“Tofte had a great time at Bethany's! She provided great detail on his end-of-day report card and had lots of pictures that showed that he enjoyed his day with her.”
“Carrie is the best! Bear was well taken care of and had so much fun with Willow!! Bear was 100% comfortable going there each day! Thank you, Carrie & Willow - we’ll see you soon!”

“Brittni took good care of Zadie for the day she was there. There was an incident with another dog, and she made sure to communicate right away and went through the proper channels to make sure everything was documented. Her and her husband took good care of zadie before and after the incident to help her feel safe and calm.”
“Emily had a huge fenced in back yard that my dog could explore and play with the other dogs. It’s nice that she could get exercise. They liked having her and would love to care for her again.”
About: I have a bachelors degree in animal conservation and marine biology. I also grew up with both cats and dogs, as well as rodents, fish, and lizards. I've been pet sitting for 7 years and worked at a doggy daycare. I love all animals big and small and am comfortable with big dogs and all manner of temperaments in cats. I'm currently available for boarding 7 days a week. I'm never away from my apartment for long and will dedicate all of my time to caring for your pet! I live in a safe apartment and area that's pet friendly! I don't have any cats/dogs, just a friendly leopard gecko! I also don't leave food laying around and pets are allowed on my furniture!
About: I have had my own dogs (and cats, chickens, bunnies, etc!) my whole life. I have also been relied on by friends, family, and neighbors for years to care for their fur babies while traveling. My husband and I also foster dogs through various local rescues! I work from home and my partner has a flexible schedule. Usually, we are both home and able to provide 24/7 care for the animals we board! I have a very large fenced yard with two dog pools for hot summer days. Our chickens stay in a separate enclosed area. My home offers multiple rooms and, due to the fact that we often foster, we have several kennels and other “safe space” areas if your fur baby feels safer hanging out or sleeping separately from the rest of the pack. Although, we are a household that encourages pets to curl up on the furniture! We have 3 dogs- a collie/Aussie mix, yellow lab, and husky. All are friendly, up to date on vaccines, and love other dogs! Lastly, we are a cat friendly home but do have separate spaces available if separation from them is best.
“Xan was amazing! I was in the area camping with my dogs and wanted to take a kayak tour. I didn't think that the dogs would do great for that, and luckily Can was able to watch my guys. She was awesome. She communicated with me quickly when I was worrying and even sent pictures. She was very loving with both of them and even bonded with my 10 month old Cane Corso puppy.”
“I’ve used Mary many times now and can’t say enough great things about her! My Jack Russel, Snoopy loves his time there and I know he gets lots of love when he is there, which helps his mom feel better when she has to be away.”
“Our Aussie/Border collie had a delightful time at doggy daycare every day for a week. Jessica and her husband were very communicative, prompt and sent photos. They were patient working through our dog's anxiety on the second day (when he realized this was not just a one-off play date), and he ended up happy and comfortable the rest of the week, playing all day with their resident dog and another friend. We'd recommend them as excellent dogsitters and wouldn't hesitate to use them again.”
“Giovana and her family were so wonderful with Skye. I couldn’t have asked for a better puppy sitter. Thank you so much for treating Skye like he was part of your family. If I need a sitter again, hopefully you are available. 😁”
About: I had 3 dogs growing up so I know when they need something and to make they’re mood better also keep them happy and energized I recently paid my rent for 2 months of July and August so I have plenty of time to be an perfect candidate for this position Give them dog treats pet them take them on a walk play with them keep them safe and out of harm listening to their needs
“Takenya is so sweet with our girl. Lilah has never stayed without a family member or trusted friend before so we were nervous. Lilah had so much fun. We got such cute videos of her time there. Our dog came home & happy & tired. She took a big nap. We already booked Takenya again!”
About: Lifelong animal lover and pet owner. Now that I’m retired, it’s time to turn my passion into a service for other pet owners. Your dog deserves a wonderful boarding experience. Low stress, quiet home, play/exercise, and lots of affection. Nothing but the best for Fluffy! Recently retired and ready to provide overnight boarding for small to medium-sized dogs. I have the time and desire to provide excellent care for your dog. Fluffy will receive lots of attention and affection. Your dog will be in a safe and quiet home environment. Access to small grass yard (no pesticides) under my supervision. Special care requests, feeding schedules, etc. can be accommodated. I have been caring for animals (pets) my entire life. Their wellbeing has always been a priority for me.
“I've been using Emily for over a year now and we just love her and Arlo, and Flynn. Everything still stands from my first review! Kota has the best time playing! Emily adds a special sprinkle of fun every day involving Kota and friends to all her tasks; as helpful as they can be.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs since my teenage years, from puppies to seniors. Lately, I’ve fostered and adopted senior rescues. I consider dogs some of the most special creatures on Earth. I work full-time from home and love having dog-walking breaks throughout the day. I can sit in your home (as long as there’s wi-fi so I can log into work) or mine. My 15-year old Chihuahua mix passed away recently, so I currently do not have an animal companion in my home, though that doesn’t last very long with me! I do not have a fenced-in yard; however, there is a walking path across the front street of my home and a city park across the street in the back.

“Remy is great with my dog! She is communicative and thorough. I know my dog is in great care with her. She is also a great photographer and sends the best pictures! I highly recommended Remy!”
“Erin was a life saver this week! With my husband out of town for a week and me with my hands full with a three year old and baby, getting out to walk our energetic and LOUD husky was going to be a challenge. Erin was always right on time and such a great communicator. I liked and trusted her immediately and Aurora Dog warmed up to her right away as well. She started waiting at the door for her in the morning. Thank you so much Erin!”
About: Caring for animals has been apart of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with pets and owned several of my own as an adult, so I know firsthand what it means to love an animal like family and what owners need when they hand them off to someone else. I'm comfortable with the full range of needs: puppies, senior pets, animals with medical conditions or special diets, and multiple pets at once. I've administered daily medications, followed strict feeding routines, and handled it all without missing a beat. Because I don't currently have pets of my own, I bring a lot of enthusiasm to every sit. Honestly, I miss having animals around and your pets get the full benefit of that. I take this seriously enough that clients have flown me across the country to care for their animals, which I think says more than anything else I could write in a bio. If you're looking for someone who will love your pets like their own and give you genuine peace of mind while you're away, I'd love to meet both you and them. Pet care isn't something I squeeze into my day. It is my day. I'm fully available and not juggling a rigid 9-to-5, which means your pets get consistent attention and care throughout the day rather than just morning and evening check-ins. Walks, feeding times, medications, cuddles, everything happens on their schedule, not mine. Whether you need someone for a quick drop-in or an extended house sit, I'm flexible and can make it work. I primarily care for pets in their own home because I believe animals are happiest in a familiar environment. Uprooting them from their space adds unnecessary stress, and keeping them in their element means they stay calmer, eat better, and settle in faster. When I'm in your home, I treat it with the same respect I would my own. I stick to your pet's existing routine as closely as possible, follow all instructions to the letter, and keep everything clean and tidy throughout my stay. I send regular photo updates so you always know how things are going without having to ask. My goal is simple: for you to come home to a happy pet and a home that looks exactly as you left it. The trust you place in me when you hand over your keys and your animals is something I take seriously, and I make sure you feel that from day one.
“Carrie sent pictures and updates each day for walks and playtime and was very responsive. The dog was glad to have some company while we were away!”
“Kristine does a great job with my dog. He can be stubborn or get scared on walks and want to go home. If that is the case she will stay and play with him in the backyard. But she also gets creative and communicates with me on strategies to get him to walk and it has worked. Overall great communication and very timely. Would recommend her to walk or care for your dog.”
“Isabella was reliable, punctual, and communicative. Isabella sent reports and photos daily. Luna was excited to walk with her every day and came home weel exercised,ready to rest!”
“Donna was awesome. Have two sweet but strong dogs and she took great care of them on their walks. We were staying at a hotel locally and needed our dogs walked mid day. Highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve been around animals since I was a kid. Growing up on a farm, raising animals for 4-H, and having our own cats and dogs. I’ve never been without a pet in my life. Love meeting new furry friends! I work as a flight attendant, so I have several days off a month to take care of your pets! Usually I work long weekends (Thursday through Monday-ish, but only four days at a time), so weekdays are best! I have a backyard and extra leashes to easily take your pet outside whenever, plus two chill middle-aged dogs at home to play with your fur baby if able!
“Sy has been a lifesaver helping me with Lilly during the week!! She was super quick to respond to my initial request, which I was so grateful for because I needed services suddenly. And to top it all off, Lilly loves her so I feel like she’s in great hands whenever I’m gone! She goes above and beyond, even helping me with her medication when I asked. And she seems to really care about Lilly’s wellbeing, like she’s her own. Definitely recommend!!”
About: I’m a dependable and caring pet lover who treats every pet like family. I also volunteer at a local cat shelter and have experience caring for my own dogs and cats and friends and family’s pets when needed. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic medications, and keeping pets on their normal routines so they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I’m responsible, detail-oriented, and always make sure pets get the love, exercise, and care they deserve. Fun fact: I am also a Nurse so I am familiar with caring for others, mediations and recognizing changes in conditions! I’m currently working full time 3 12 hour shifts per week overnight as a nurse in a hospital. I have a lot of days off and prefer to work on my off days. My schedule varies each week, but I am willing to be flexible and open about sharing my schedule and working with you to help care for your pet. My cats have their own bedroom. I use a liter robot for waste removal, have scheduled play time, and administer their food on a schedule. Routine is important to them, but I also will do something fun or extravagant with them every once in a while, such as taking them on a walk in my pet stroller.
About: Growing up in a house of animals, and having a small zoo of my own (2 dogs and 2 cats), I have a lot of experience taking care of animals. I have dog and cat sat for friends for years. I am currently available for Drop ins and Walks. I try to spend a bare minimum of 15 minutes with any drop in to make sure they get all the attention that they need. As the owner of a 15 lb dog and a 80 lb dog, I understand that all Walks aren't created equal. My Walks always vary based off of the needs of the dog. I am also an avid cat lover. I am more than happy to stop by and feed, clean the litter box, and snuggle/play with your feline friends. Currently I work full time on the West side of the cities, but I have Sundays and Mondays off to help with your animal needs. My hope is to expand my availability over time. My current weekend lines up with some weekdays. I spend most of those days out and about, so I'd love to check in on some cute animal while I am at it! Slow and steady is always best. I am a believer in letting animals come to you. I have experience with a kennel trained and unkennel trained dogs. As the owner of a 15 lb dog and a 80 lb dog, I am experienced in walking all sizes of dogs.
About: I have an associates degree in Veterinary Technology and worked in the veterinary field for 5 years. During that time I would often watch coworker's and friend's pets including both cats and dogs. I am experienced with giving medications and caring for senior pets who may need a little extra help and care! I am currently working part-time with a schedule that changes week to week. I am always available before 8am and after 7:30pm as well as most weekends. In all of my past pet sitting gigs, I have always tried my best to respect other's homes and traditions. I am very flexible and will always respect any and all wishes when it comes to your home an beloved pets!
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Growing up, I had a German Shepherd who was mainly my responsibility, including feeding, walking, playtime, and everyday care. lalso have many years of experience caring for cats, including senior cats, so I understand that pets have different needs as they age. I'm patient with shy or nervous animals and love spending time with energetic ones too. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I'll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention. I’m also happy to work with each pet’s normal routine and their owner’s preferred schedule. Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I always follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, routines, and house rules. I make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and given plenty of attention. I also respect each animal’s personality and give them time and space to feel comfortable with me.
About: My family and friends have depended on me for many years to take care of their cats and dogs. I am a reliable pet-sitter who loves animals. I work full-time from my home Monday through Thursday and can adjust my schedule accordingly to meet the needs of my clients. My availability Friday through Sunday is very flexible. I do not have a dog, but have walked/taken care of dogs of my family and friends. I have a cat who runs my household. I have had cats in the past with specific medical and dietary needs (diabetes requiring insulin shots, kidney disease requiring a special diet and have administered medicine numerous times over the past 28 years).
