“We needed our two dogs watched over the weekend! I love that she had a fenced-in yard for the dogs to play in. Jaymie was very quick to respond to my texts inquiring about the dogs. Would definitely have her watch our babies again!!”
“Candace & Jeremy were absolutely wonderful! Out dog, mikko, is a little anxious and higher energy being a Aussie but he did great and seemed to loved his time with them. We will absolutely be repeat clients of theirs and recommend them 10/10! Thank you both!”
“Alex was great with my nervous guy. We’ve boarded him in the past and he always seemed to be anxious and have trouble eating. He settled in quickly with Alex. I think being in a home environment was more like his everyday routine.”
“We could not have asked for a better first experience finding care for our dog . Rebekah and her husband were so personable and seemed genuinely excited and happy to host our Nelly. Rebekah sent updates throughout the stay along with pictures . We will definitely hire her again ! Thank you for taking such good care of our furry family member!”
“Marie and Mark took great care of my extremely attention needing Basset hound. Sent lots of updates and treated her so kind. Would highly recommend them to watch your pets.”
“Jennifer was amazing!! Koda has such a great time staying with Jennifer and her family for a long weekend. Communication was excellent, the pictures and updates were so wonderful. Jennifer made sure Koda would be a good fit before taking her in for the weekend, which is something I personally appreciated, especially with a high energy pup. I couldn’t say enough good things - would totally recommend and will be using for future bookings! Thank you Jennifer and family!”
“Jacky our Wheaton spend one night with Hannah, and was instantly comfortable with her when we dropped him off, which is unusual for him as he is hesitant with strangers. She sent numerous updates and photos which showed us he was having a good time. We were very happy with the whole experience and would recommend Hannah.”
“Bandy and Chad have been fabulous with our dog Patty. She can be a nervous little dog when she's out of her normal environment and they've been so patient and loving to make her feel so at home. We are so relieved and thankful that we've found such reliable sitters with Brandy and Chad. Patty will definitely be going back and we know she'll look forward to it!”
“Brandi and her family were WONDERFUL!!! They treated my dog Hank like family, with lots of love and plenty of neighborhood walks. They comforted him during a thunderstorm, and he even got to join them on the bed for a snuggle. I'd book Brandi again in a second, in fact I already have! 🙂 She gets 10 stars in my book, and in Hank's!!!”
“We have left our dog with Alisha & Cameron on several occasions now. Rue absolutely adores going to their house and always comes home tuckered out, happy, and healthy! They are very attentive, experienced, and regularly send us pup updates during our trips. We cannot recommend them enough and will continue using their services for future travels!”
“This was our second time having Anna watch our small dog, Frankie, and the second time was just as great. She is the best host for our dog and makes us feel stress free while on vacation knowing our pup is in good hands. She sends pictures frequently and is quick to share/respond to texts. Highly recommend—Anna has become my go-to and can’t wait to book with her again in the future.”
“Sophia and Travis did an awesome job looking after our young pup Murphy. This was the first time we used their service and will definitely be bringing him back. We loved the spacious room that Murphy stayed in and love that he got to go out and play every couple hours. Having the camera to look at him was a great feature as our kids loved checking in on him from time to time. Sophia and Travis sent pictures throughout the week of Murphy playing and interacting with the other dogs. They answered all our questions very promptly which was nice. Overall we had a great experience with Sophia and Travis and can’t wait to bring Murphy back in the future!!”
“Patrick and Patti are so great. Daisy loved staying with them and they took such good care of her. I loved getting all the pictures! Daisy already can’t wait to go back :)”
About: Hi, I'm Leah! I provide dog sitting exclusively in my home on five peaceful acres in rural Minnesota. Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a farm and have spent my life caring for animals of all kinds. I've owned multiple dogs over the years, including large and small breeds, and understand that every dog has unique needs, routines, and personalities. As a registered nurse, I am dependable, attentive, and comfortable caring for dogs who require extra support. I can administer oral medications and injections, follow detailed care plans, and provide attentive care for senior dogs or pets with special medical needs. My property offers a quiet, low-stress environment with plenty of space to explore, relax, and enjoy the outdoors under supervision. I have a tripod Pyrenees named Lola and she is very sociable! Whether your dog loves activity and adventure or prefers a slower pace and extra cuddles, my goal is to provide a safe, caring home away from home while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I'm home all day, every day! I work a couple of night shifts during the week but my own dog barely notices I'm gone because she's sleeping. During the day the longest I'm usually away is a couple of hours for errands or the gym. If your dog has specific supervision needs, feel free to reach out and we can discuss whether my schedule is a good fit. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. I follow instructions carefully and make sure routines are done exactly the way you prefer, including feeding schedules, leash safety, and any medications or special care needs. I’m a nurse by background, so I’m very observant, calm in unexpected situations, and comfortable handling responsibility with attention to detail. I take trust seriously and understand I’m being welcomed into your pet’s space.
“Kayla was great! Very easy to work with and excellent communication from start to finish. We did a short meet & greet before boarding our dog with her as this was our first time boarding him in someone else’s home, and so that he could meet her pup. I would recommend her to anyone, and hope to board with her in the future!”

About: I have been walking dogs for 3 years. The dog I currently walk is a Golden Retriever with a lot of energy! I have also walked other large dogs as well as small dogs. I currently walk a dog every morning Monday through Friday, and 2 small dogs as needed. We enjoy going for walks and to the dog park if requested. We have gone on car rides to different parks for walks as well as walking in the neighborhood. I love the time I get to spend with the dogs. Dog walking is what I do. Every day Monday through Friday I walk a Golden Retriever. After that I am open to taking on more walking or drop in visits. When going to clients homes I am always careful to be sure to lock up the home after our walk. I check to be sure that there is adequate water. I am respectful of others private space and leave things as I find them. I give treats if requested. On hot days we can keep walks shorter if requested. I will also brush your dog if you request this.
“We used Hannah again for when we went out of town and when I say she’s the best, I mean it!! She went above and beyond just care for our cats. We will use her again and again!!”

I have experience with old and young, as well as experience with animals needing medication. I personally have three cats and a XL dog, so I am comfortable with any size critter. I am the worlds biggest cat lover and will treat your baby like my own.
About: Certified in dog CPR and first aid, with 50 hours of dog handling and management training through Pack Pro. Five years of experience on a hobby farm, handling all morning and evening chores and feedings for a variety of animals, including goats, chickens, ducks, bunnies, dogs, cats, and horses. Trust your furry friends to someone with a proven track record of animal care and safety. I work full-time at a dog boarding facility, typically 35-40 hours per week with a mix of morning (6:15 AM - 11:15 AM) and afternoon/evening (12:45 PM - around 7 PM) shifts. While I do work both shifts twice a week, my schedule still offers plenty of open time. Beyond these commitments, I'm generally available and flexible, making pet sitting a perfect fit for my lifestyle! Safety is my top priority. I follow all of the owner's instructions meticulously regarding feeding, medication, and exercise. I maintain a clean and safe environment, free from hazards. I build trust with pets by being patient, gentle, and attentive to their needs, creating a positive and stress-free experience. I respect the client's home and maintain open communication, providing updates and addressing any concerns promptly.
“Sarah was great. She was timely and sent pictures of her drop in with my dog. She was responsive and able to help out on a short notice. Would definitely recommend Sarah to help out with your pet.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my six years of dedicated, hands-on experience caring for animals around the clock. I grew up with two dogs and a cat, caring for them through all stages of life—including senior care and end-of-life comfort. I also have experience working with rescues my family adopted, which taught me patience and adaptability with animals of different backgrounds and temperaments. I’m confident working with puppies, senior pets, and those needing special attention, and I truly love and treat every animal as if they were my own. I currently have an open schedule, which allows me to be very flexible and fully dedicate time to pet care. I’m able to plan my days around the needs of the pets I’m caring for, making sure I’m available for feeding times, walks, play, and any special routines or requests. When caring for pets, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I follow all owner instructions for feeding, medication, and exercise, ensuring fresh water and a clean environment. Whether supervising play, going for walks, or offering companionship, I aim to reduce stress and make pets feel secure and well cared for in any setting.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats. My parents currently have 4 dogs that I help with often. I have 1 dog of my own. I’ve also had cats, guinea pigs, and fish at one point. & I did a day of horse camp. Needless to say, I’m open to caring for any type of animal. I understand how hard it can be finding care for a loved pet, therefore I can be flexible & affordable. I’m a single mom and work full-time, but can try to be flexible to accommodate your needs! I’m typically available Friday-Sunday. During the week, I could stop by during the evening for drop-in care, potentially could do a morning drop-in as well but would have to be around 7:40am-7:55am only. Let me know how I can help! 😊 I work full-time at a dental office and am also a full-time single mother. I can do drop-in care some early mornings during the week, and/or most week nights. Weekends can be flexible with multiple daily drop-ins if needed. I help with my parents dogs while they are away. I feed them, give them treats and give them fresh water. They are let out on a chain. They have a chain that I put them on. With my own dog at home, I walk him out to use the bathroom. I love to snuggle pups 🐶 ❤️ and am open to whatever kind of care you require for your pet.
“Michael, is fantastic. He was very communicative and even offered to grab packages while we were out of town. He sent photos from all visits and was diligent about cleaning the cat boys box and ensuring that they were fed separately due to dietary requirements. We will absolutely be working with him again A+. Thank you for an awesome experience!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs for many years!! I have worked with dogs of all ages. I also have experience with cats as I do have my own! I currently work full time but I am able to come after work and I am available on the weekends starting Friday thru Sunday evenings I would love you help keep your pet company so that they don’t feel lonely while you are away. I want them to feel special
About: I’ve grown up with having both cats and dogs of my own my entire life so I know the proper way to care for them. I understand both the needs of animals and how to tend to those specific needs. I love all kinds of animals and spending time with them so much that I would love to go into some type of career where I can be around them and care for them. I’ve always had positive experiences when around animals and have never had any problems being able to connect with them. I would prefer walking smaller dogs but have no problem sitting both large and small dogs/ any size dog. I would also be happy to take care of and watch cats also.
About: We grew up with pets and we have a pet loving family. We have a German wirehair pointer dog, cat and raise rabbits for showing. We also volunteer at a local goat farm and help take care of goats. I work full time out of the home, Monday-Friday, so your dog will be kenneled while we are at work. Unless it’s summer or holiday then my schedule may be different. I will do morning walks and night walks and playtime outside after and before work. We have an unfenced large yard so your pet will be leashed for playtime. We have a nice larger private backyard so plenty of space for exercise.
About: After graduating high school, I worked at a veterinary hospital for about three years, gaining hands-on experience with animal care. Recently, I’ve begun pet sitting more regularly while also working part-time as a waitress. I’ve been around dogs, cats, and even chickens since I was young. I’ve always had a strong love for animals and enjoy being around them. I’ve had the opportunity to pet sit for many families and many types of pets. I truly enjoy building trust and relationships with both pets and their owners.
About: I have raised several dogs from the time they were puppies. I have done obedience training with all of them. I truly enjoy the loyal companionship of a dog. I am currently on SSDI, so I am retired. I do have a karaoke DJ business, but that usually only takes me away one or two nights a month. I currently have a French bulldog who is fixed and he is very friendly with other dogs. I also have two cats, but I have the ability to separate them from the rest of the house.

“What a wonderful couple. They “get” dogs. Our one has separation anxiety and the other is borderline. They seemed so chill here and happy. We even got a happy photo of them. We’ll definitely be back. This is so much better than them being cooped up in a kennel at a boarder. Thank you, see you next time.”
About: Since I was 6 years old my family had dogs and cats as pets. All the dogs we had we got as puppies so I handled the potty training, taught tricks and the main obedience training like sit and stay. I've watched family and friends dogs which also included days/nights at a time like when they were out of town working. I have watched and been with tiny dogs to giant dogs. I'm a stay at home mom at the moment so I have plenty of time to care for your pet pretty much at anytime day or night. I have a fenced yard so easy to let in and out as needed, big area take out or let out to play. My house is pretty open with area for them to roam or find good spot to just relax. I have never crated any of my animals but if needed or wanted obviously I could do that. If you have a special diet for your dog I would follow that for you also. My kids and I also love to go on walks and would love your dog to join. I do have three very young kids so your dog must get along with children. My kids love animals, they were very sad after losing our last dog so they'd be very excited to play with others. I am home daily with my kids, I only leave when I need to go to the store or take kids to an activity. So they won't be left alone for long if at all while in my care. I have a fenced in yard for a safe place to run and play while outside. My house is decent size so plenty of area and all open to them so they feel at home. You can bring whatever you think your animal needs to be comfortable.

Will definitely use her again! She was also flexible with my pickup time as it shifted due to work. Thank you Hannah!”

About: I’ve had pets in my life since I was a child.

About: My husband and I have both grown up with pets and have continued caring for animals throughout our adult lives. We have extensive hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments, and we currently care for a variety of animals in our home, including fish, a bearded dragon, a leopard gecko, a hamster, and hermit crabs. This has given us a strong understanding of different care needs, routines, and behaviors across species. We’re attentive, patient, and comfortable following specific instructions — whether that’s maintaining feeding schedules, administering basic care, or helping pets feel calm and safe in a new environment. We truly treat every pet as if they were our own. Because we work from home, pet care naturally fits into our daily routine. We’re around throughout the day to provide attention, playtime, feeding, and companionship, not just quick check-ins. Our flexible schedule allows us to adapt to each pet’s needs, whether that means extra cuddles, medication reminders, or keeping a consistent routine so pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. We care for pets as if they are part of our own family. In our home, pets have plenty of space to relax and play safely. We live on 10 acres, which allows for supervised outdoor time, walks, and fresh air, and we also have a large outdoor kennel available when appropriate for a pet’s comfort and safety. When caring for pets in a client’s home, we focus on consistency, attentiveness, and respect for each pet’s routine. We follow feeding schedules, exercise needs, medication instructions, and any special requests closely. We make it a priority to be responsive, communicative, and attentive so both pets and owners feel comfortable and confident while they’re away.
“Thomas provided excellent care for our 2 dogs. We have a senior lab and a wheaten terrier who is an anxious type so not an easy pair. The house and yard are set up great for dog care and Thomas has a great way with the dogs I will definitely bring them back.”
About: I’ve spent years caring for my own dogs and raising animals, which has taught me patience, responsibility, and an understanding of different personalities and needs.

Whether it’s early morning walks or evening walks, pets are always the center of my schedule. In my home, I make sure pets have a safe, comfortable space where they feel welcomed as part of the family. I stick to regular feeding schedules, provide plenty of playtime and walks, and give lots of love and attention. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to follow their routines as closely as possible, whether mealtime, walks, or bedtime, so pets feel secure and stress-free. My goal is to always create consistency, comfort, and trust.

About: Growing up on a farm, I developed a deep passion for animal care that led me to participate in 4-H, county fairs, and FFA during high school. After graduation, I spent over three years working at a veterinary clinic’s boarding facility, where I gained hands-on experience in administering medications, behavior training, and providing personalized care. I was promoted to supervisor and emergency care assistant, further strengthening my leadership and critical care skills. I believe every pet deserves individualized attention, whether it’s ensuring playtime, administering medication, or offering extra TLC. My goal is to create a safe, nurturing environment where pets feel happy and owners can trust their pets are in expert hands. Since joining Rover in August 2022, I’ve had the privilege of caring for many pets and building lasting relationships with their owners. With a background in veterinary care, boarding, and behavioral training, I bring a wealth of experience to ensure your pets receive the highest standard of care. I offer a range of services, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication administration, and basic behavioral training (upon request). I’m available for daytime care, drop-ins, and occasional overnight stays on weekdays and select weekends. My flexible schedule allows me to tailor my services to meet your pet’s unique needs. Having worked in the emergency department of a reputable veterinary clinic, I’ve developed an unwavering commitment to animal welfare, approaching each pet’s care with vigilance and attention to detail.
About: Hello! I have had experience pet and dog sitting since I was 15. I have taken care of animals ranging from pigeons to bunnies to dogs and cats to horses. I have experience with old and young, as well as experience with animals needing medication. I personally have three cats and a XL dog, so I am comfortable with any size critter. I work at a school so I currently do not have work during the summer. I am available all days. There maybe some days where I am out and about, but I will still be available to check on them during the day and stay with them at night. I will not be available to bring them to my home, as we have a pretty crazy house with extra critters, however I am able to stay in my clients' homes. I can easily adjust to your pet's daily schedule — whether that be daily walks, medication, or scheduled meals. Staying in your home, I am also able to do things such as collect mail, water plants, and just care for your home as well as your pet.

About: When I was little I used to tell people I lived in a Zoo and though it often felt that way with 4 dogs, 2 cats, a bird and rabbits it was not a reality (maybe one day ;) .) I have been caring for animals since I could hold a leash from walking and feeding dogs to trimming cat nails. In the past 5 years I have raised and trained my own high energy Vizsla as well as cared for a few litters of Bernese Mountain Dogs. I deeply believe the relationship a human has with their furry friend is unique and irreplaceable and my goal as a dog caretaker is to protect those relationships. Not only do I keep your furry babies happy and healthy, but I also strive to create peace of mind for you. I just moved to Minnesota and am diving into the vibrance of life here. With that, I am very flexible on timing. Morning-Day-Night and Weekends are all great for me. I completely understand that each dog owner has preferences and ways they want their babies to be cared for. With that, as I enter someone else's space I do so with a mindset of respect for the guidelines and rules they have laid out. I will care for you dog to the best of my abilities while keeping your wishes at the forefront.

“Michael made sure to check in with us with pictures and let us know how each walk went. He was super sweet with our big pup. We have a pitbull who has a tendency to pull on the leash sometimes and if he can handle that he can probably handle your dog great as well! I could tell he really cared. I'd trust him to help us again if needed in the future!”
About: Certified in dog CPR and first aid, with 50 hours of dog handling and management training through Pack Pro. Five years of experience on a hobby farm, handling all morning and evening chores and feedings for a variety of animals, including goats, chickens, ducks, bunnies, dogs, cats, and horses. Trust your furry friends to someone with a proven track record of animal care and safety. I work full-time at a dog boarding facility, typically 35-40 hours per week with a mix of morning (6:15 AM - 11:15 AM) and afternoon/evening (12:45 PM - around 7 PM) shifts. While I do work both shifts twice a week, my schedule still offers plenty of open time. Beyond these commitments, I'm generally available and flexible, making pet sitting a perfect fit for my lifestyle! Safety is my top priority. I follow all of the owner's instructions meticulously regarding feeding, medication, and exercise. I maintain a clean and safe environment, free from hazards. I build trust with pets by being patient, gentle, and attentive to their needs, creating a positive and stress-free experience. I respect the client's home and maintain open communication, providing updates and addressing any concerns promptly.
About: Quality Care with reliability, punctuality, safety and most importantly fun and snuggles! I live in a dog friendly house and I'm a major dog person myself. I love going on walks with dogs (of all sizes). I'm great with feeding schedules and potty schedules. I've worked with dogs of all sizes and breeds for four years now. Need me to house sit? You Betcha! Poop Scoop? No problem. Let me know what your canine needs are and I'll most likely make those accommodations! I'm open to working with dogs with of all abilities as long as I'm made aware of what their needs are. My home is big with a spacious yard but it is not fenced..yet. I live in town but I have a good running route that I love taking my 4 legged friends! I hope to help you give your dog the best life possible. :)
“Paige is AMAZING. She shows up on time, sends great pics of what your pet is doing, and updates accurately about the walk. She is great with my pup and my puppy is so happy when I get home. Paige will continue to be our main dog walker!”
About: I have raised several dogs from the time they were puppies. I have done obedience training with all of them. I truly enjoy the loyal companionship of a dog. I am currently on SSDI, so I am retired. I do have a karaoke DJ business, but that usually only takes me away one or two nights a month. I currently have a French bulldog who is fixed and he is very friendly with other dogs. I also have two cats, but I have the ability to separate them from the rest of the house.
About: I love animals! I have 3 of my own! I work from home and I can stop by play with your animals and let them out to go potty! I love cats, dogs, and lizards. I can house sit for a few hours but I am unable to provide overnight care due to having my own animals. I can however recommend someone else who has overnight care experience who watched my animals just ask! I work from home so I am able to take my computer with me wherever I go as long as there is internet! Only able to stay for a few hours 2-4 hours for a check in During summer months walks will be under 30minutes and rate of $25 due to buyness of season and it being too hot, i will not walk your dog in hot weather for more than 15minutes and if its 90degrees and will be adjusted for times of morning hours to later in evening due to weather- I can take pictures, I let my dogs sleep on my furniture they have beds of their own, I feed my dogs twice a day.
About: We grew up with pets and we have a pet loving family. We have a German wirehair pointer dog, cat and raise rabbits for showing. We also volunteer at a local goat farm and help take care of goats. I work full time out of the home, Monday-Friday, so your dog will be kenneled while we are at work. Unless it’s summer or holiday then my schedule may be different. I will do morning walks and night walks and playtime outside after and before work. We have an unfenced large yard so your pet will be leashed for playtime. We have a nice larger private backyard so plenty of space for exercise.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and energy levels. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and I’ll make sure your dog gets lots of attention, walks, and care while you’re away. I’m a recent PA school graduate who is looking to walk dogs this summer before starting my new job! My schedule is very flexible throughout the week. I try to keep pets comfortable by sticking to their normal routine as much as possible. In your home, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, food, water, and any other care they need while keeping your space clean and respected.
About: I’ve grown up with pets all 22 years of my life, and caring for animals has always been a big part of who I am. I also hold a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science, where I took specialized courses in dog training and behavior, as well as animal nutrition. On top of that, I gained hands-on experience working as a kennel technician at a local veterinary clinic, caring for pets of all ages—including seniors and those with special medical needs. In my free time, I love walking and spending time with my own dogs, so I truly understand how important daily exercise, consistency, and loving companionship are for a happy, healthy pet. Whether your furry friend needs basic care, training support, or just someone to give them attention and love while you're away, I'm here to help! I recently graduated with a degree in Animal Science and am currently exploring job opportunities in the animal care field. This means I have a very open and flexible schedule right now, and I’m available for pet care throughout the week—including weekdays, weekends, and most holidays. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine to make sure they get the consistent care they need! Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. At my home, I take dogs out on leashes for all potty breaks and walks to ensure they stay safe and secure at all times. My own dog is crate trained, so I’m familiar with using crates as a safe space when needed. I also take time to slowly introduce pets to new environments or routines to help them feel comfortable and relaxed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all routines exactly as instructed—whether that’s feeding schedules, medication, or favorite walking routes. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always aim to create a calm, loving, and trustworthy environment.
About: I lived with 2 cats for a majority of my life. I have experience watching animals for family and friends, looking to meet new best friends. I am currently working full time and going to school part time to earn my master’s degree. Looking for a fun side job to keep life interesting. I am open to having the animals out in the open or crated when not around. Would love to have a yard to play with animals, but not opposed to going to local parks.
About: I have taken care of pets ever since I was 15. My family and friends rely on me to feed, water, and walk there pets. I have my Vet assistant certificate. I have 3+ year of experience in animal care. Let me know if your pet has special need requirementsthat I need to know about. I have delt with that type of stuff before. I am available on the weekends and week days, all the time. I am very flexible when it comes to taking care of your pets. I do have some stuff to do otherwise your pet gets my full attention and love. I cannot provide services in my home as my dogs are not friendly with other dogs. I do provide services in other people's homes if they would like, I will take dogs on car rides if nice out, will treat the dog like it is my own dog.

“We needed our two dogs watched over the weekend! I love that she had a fenced-in yard for the dogs to play in. Jaymie was very quick to respond to my texts inquiring about the dogs. Would definitely have her watch our babies again!!”
“Candace & Jeremy were absolutely wonderful! Out dog, mikko, is a little anxious and higher energy being a Aussie but he did great and seemed to loved his time with them. We will absolutely be repeat clients of theirs and recommend them 10/10! Thank you both!”
“Alex was great with my nervous guy. We’ve boarded him in the past and he always seemed to be anxious and have trouble eating. He settled in quickly with Alex. I think being in a home environment was more like his everyday routine.”
“We could not have asked for a better first experience finding care for our dog . Rebekah and her husband were so personable and seemed genuinely excited and happy to host our Nelly. Rebekah sent updates throughout the stay along with pictures . We will definitely hire her again ! Thank you for taking such good care of our furry family member!”
“Marie and Mark took great care of my extremely attention needing Basset hound. Sent lots of updates and treated her so kind. Would highly recommend them to watch your pets.”
“Jennifer was amazing!! Koda has such a great time staying with Jennifer and her family for a long weekend. Communication was excellent, the pictures and updates were so wonderful. Jennifer made sure Koda would be a good fit before taking her in for the weekend, which is something I personally appreciated, especially with a high energy pup. I couldn’t say enough good things - would totally recommend and will be using for future bookings! Thank you Jennifer and family!”
“Jacky our Wheaton spend one night with Hannah, and was instantly comfortable with her when we dropped him off, which is unusual for him as he is hesitant with strangers. She sent numerous updates and photos which showed us he was having a good time. We were very happy with the whole experience and would recommend Hannah.”
“Bandy and Chad have been fabulous with our dog Patty. She can be a nervous little dog when she's out of her normal environment and they've been so patient and loving to make her feel so at home. We are so relieved and thankful that we've found such reliable sitters with Brandy and Chad. Patty will definitely be going back and we know she'll look forward to it!”
“Brandi and her family were WONDERFUL!!! They treated my dog Hank like family, with lots of love and plenty of neighborhood walks. They comforted him during a thunderstorm, and he even got to join them on the bed for a snuggle. I'd book Brandi again in a second, in fact I already have! 🙂 She gets 10 stars in my book, and in Hank's!!!”
“We have left our dog with Alisha & Cameron on several occasions now. Rue absolutely adores going to their house and always comes home tuckered out, happy, and healthy! They are very attentive, experienced, and regularly send us pup updates during our trips. We cannot recommend them enough and will continue using their services for future travels!”
“Sophia and Travis did an awesome job looking after our young pup Murphy. This was the first time we used their service and will definitely be bringing him back. We loved the spacious room that Murphy stayed in and love that he got to go out and play every couple hours. Having the camera to look at him was a great feature as our kids loved checking in on him from time to time. Sophia and Travis sent pictures throughout the week of Murphy playing and interacting with the other dogs. They answered all our questions very promptly which was nice. Overall we had a great experience with Sophia and Travis and can’t wait to bring Murphy back in the future!!”
“Patrick and Patti are so great. Daisy loved staying with them and they took such good care of her. I loved getting all the pictures! Daisy already can’t wait to go back :)”
About: Hi, I'm Leah! I provide dog sitting exclusively in my home on five peaceful acres in rural Minnesota. Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a farm and have spent my life caring for animals of all kinds. I've owned multiple dogs over the years, including large and small breeds, and understand that every dog has unique needs, routines, and personalities. As a registered nurse, I am dependable, attentive, and comfortable caring for dogs who require extra support. I can administer oral medications and injections, follow detailed care plans, and provide attentive care for senior dogs or pets with special medical needs. My property offers a quiet, low-stress environment with plenty of space to explore, relax, and enjoy the outdoors under supervision. I have a tripod Pyrenees named Lola and she is very sociable! Whether your dog loves activity and adventure or prefers a slower pace and extra cuddles, my goal is to provide a safe, caring home away from home while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I'm home all day, every day! I work a couple of night shifts during the week but my own dog barely notices I'm gone because she's sleeping. During the day the longest I'm usually away is a couple of hours for errands or the gym. If your dog has specific supervision needs, feel free to reach out and we can discuss whether my schedule is a good fit. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. I follow instructions carefully and make sure routines are done exactly the way you prefer, including feeding schedules, leash safety, and any medications or special care needs. I’m a nurse by background, so I’m very observant, calm in unexpected situations, and comfortable handling responsibility with attention to detail. I take trust seriously and understand I’m being welcomed into your pet’s space.
“Kayla was great! Very easy to work with and excellent communication from start to finish. We did a short meet & greet before boarding our dog with her as this was our first time boarding him in someone else’s home, and so that he could meet her pup. I would recommend her to anyone, and hope to board with her in the future!”
About: I have grown up with dogs of all kinds throughout my life, so being around animals has always been a natural part of who I am. While I currently don’t have a pet of my own, caring for others’ pets is incredibly fulfilling because it allows me to continue giving love and attention to animals while helping families feel confident their pets are in good hands. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I focus on providing dependable care, lots of attention, and clear communication with updates and photos so you always feel comfortable and connected while you’re away. I work from home full-time, so your pet will have lots of company, love and attention throughout the day—no long lonely hours here. I live in an apartment that has a dog park, and lots of nearby walking trails I go to daily. Since I don’t currently have a pet of my own, caring for others’ pets truly brings so much happiness into our home. I love creating a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I do everything I can to make both you and your pet feel comfortable and confident in my care.
