“I have nothing but great things to say about our experience with Ana and her family! She was great at giving me updates and photos of how things were going for my baby Arlo! I definitely recommend them and I will be using Ana and her family whenever I need someone to take care of Arlo again!”
“Lola had so much fun staying with Jenna and meeting some new friends. She slept the entire next day after coming home. We appreciated the updates and pictures sent to us during Lola’s stay. We would definitely book with Jenna again!”
“Beth and family were so great with Zoey! This was the first time we used them so I was happy they took time with me to be certain she felt comfortable and ready to stay. I would highly recommend!”
“Meganne was kindly able to book my puppy last minute. She sent photos and videos of him with her family throughout the time frame. If time and proximity allows it, I will book with her again!”
“Joy took wonderful care of our dog. She sent pictures and was very communicative. Our dog seemed very happy while in her home. I would definitely recommend Joy to others, and we plan on using her again.”
“Darian was amazing. We used her for a 2 week vacation and we are so grateful to have found her. We will definitely use her again. She taught our puppy how to walk on a leash, which he was struggling with before we dropped him off. We received daily updates, photos and videos, and never had to worry about him being cared for, loved on and played with.”
“Heidi is one of the best dog sitters we have ever had! She and her son took amazing care of Vinny. She sent me pictures every day (and I mean each day) of her son snuggling, playing, and reading stories with Vinny. She was nice enough to drop Vinny off at our house so that he would be there when we got home since we had a late flight. We are already about to message Heidi to watch Vinny again!”
About: Hi! My name is Sage and I specialize in animal caretaking and welfare. I have lived my entire life with at least one animal in the house and I have been dog sitting on and off since high school. I am certified in three years of dog training and currently live with my lovely cat, London. I’ve never met a pet that I haven’t loved, and past employers would describe me as dependable, easy-going, and kind. My days are entirely open, except for the occasional one or two days a week where I am called in from one of my other jobs. I am also a full-time college student during the fall and winter time, but my summers are almost entirely clear. In my home, I live with my cat London, and four other housemates. If your animal stayed with me, they would never feel alone and would always have somebody in the house that can watch them or be there for all their needs. We have a lovely backyard full of grass, a back deck for lounging and sunbathing and a large neighborhood for daily walks. Your pet would feel like a king or queen in a castle! :)
“Lynn was GREAT!!! I have had the same sitter for about three years so I was very nervous to live my Millie with someone new, but Lynn made me feel very comfortable! You can tell she’s an animal lover. After meeting her, I knew Millie’s safety and comfort was going to be #1. When I picked Millie up, she was jumping on Lynn like they had know each other for years. Highly recommend!!”
“I took my 2 dogs there for the first time, and Jordan was great to communicate with, and she gave me plenty of updates on how the dogs were doing. I would highly recommend Jordan to take care of your dogs when you need someone to watch them for you.”
“Maisie was absolutely great! She provided timely updates of how our dog was doing, with pictures, and treated her with a loving and positive attitude. Our dog had a great experience. We will definitely use her services again!”

We have a large 40 acre farm with lots of room to run if desired. We have 4 dogs to play with and keep your dog company too!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 7 years through friends, neighbors, and family. I genuinely love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or just extra cuddles and attention.

I make sure pets stick to their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment and pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is being well cared for while you’re away.

“I had an amazing experience with Elizabeth! She was incredibly caring, punctual, and followed all of my instructions perfectly. She kept me extremely updated with detailed messages and lots of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She truly went above and beyond in caring for my cats. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter.”
“Second time having Angelique pet sit for us. She took fantastic care of our kitties and was super helpful and responsive. She also took the most amazing pictures of our cats every day, it gave us both peace of mind and a laugh! I can’t recommend her enough.”
“Addison did exactly what i needed her to. She took care of my dogs and was super flexible with my crazy work schedule. I could tell when i got home by how happy my dogs were that she treated them good! I recommend her to anyone looking to get their dogs cared for!”
“Wendy was great with our cats. She was consistent with her visits and updates. We loved the photos she sent. We could tell they had fun with here when we came home because one of them brought his wand to us to play with.”
About: I have had dogs my whole life growing up and I currently have 2 large dogs. I would prefer if they are already potty trained. I am a full time college student with class in the mornings and afternoons. I would be able to do visits very early in the morning or after class/later in the day too. I am willing to exercise your dog with either a walk, throwing a ball or some other activity they like. Or on the flip side if they love chilling and getting attention I am totally down for that too.
“Maisie was a great pet sitter! We’ll definitely request her again when we need someone! She checked in on our dog, and was on time, and did everything we asked her to do. We loved seeing all of the pictures she sent with each visit! Before the visit, she was very communicative and appreciative of the notes we gave her. Definitely recommend!”
“Cassie was wonderful with my cats. She took the time to make sure they were safe. Cassie was great about communicating during the check ins. Highly recommend Cassie for taking care of your fur babies.”
About: I treat my 2 dogs like children. Spoiled rotten. I enjoy animals more than I enjoy humans. Sorry, not sorry. My special skill is love lol I'm a travel nurse, working in different towns. Need more activities to do on my days off. I usually will have 3 days off. I have my dog with me and know how important he is. He is home. I prefer to go to the clients home and check on your dog and let him to go potty and or go on a walk.
“Allison was awesome! This was my first time ever using a sitter, so I was a little bit skeptical at first. But we had a few meet and greets before I hired her, and she was amazing with my cat! She sent me videos and photos and texts when she would come by and feed the cat, and that helped put my mind at ease. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone, and I would love to hire her again in the future!”
About: I love dogs, and all animals for that matter. i’ve had pets all throughout my life and got my first dog of my own when I was 8. I love playing and cuddling. every dog, size and breed is amazing. I have a very flexible schedule, and would love to fill up my free time watching and taking care of dogs and cats. I hope you take my application into consideration, thank you. I have a very open and flexible schedule and can play and care for your pups and kitties for as long as needed, as I work part time. I have a clean home with a lot of back yard space for playing. I can easily crate your dog if it is necessary. I can follow feeding schedules and walking routines.
About: I have taken care of cats and kittens for as long as I can remember. From helping out with grandma’s barn cats to spoiling my own, I’m well equipped for any situation! Cats need more attention than most people assume, and I’ll be sure to make sure your precious kitty isn’t neglected while you’re away. With me, they’ll get never-ending snuggles (if they so desire), play time, and a clean litter box! You’ll also get plenty of photos during your time apart from them! I am experienced with easy, picky, disabled, old, young, and grumpy cats. Some like lots of TLC, others need their space! I’m adaptable to their needs :)
About: I believe pet care is more than feeding and letting them out. I take the time to interact, play, and be present, so they feel relaxed and cared for while their owners are away. Whether a pet wants activity or quiet company, I make sure they get the attention they need. I’ve spent many years raising and caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and birds. With that experience, I know how to help animals feel safe and comfortable quickly, and I’m able to build trust and a positive connection with them! I am currently working remotely, so I will not be gone for hours on end. I have other activities I like to do like go to the gym, but most of my day will be spent in your home caring for your loved ones! Everyone knows that each pet responds differently to their parents leaving, so I like to go with the flow, making sure they are comfortable. If they want to spend a lot of their time relaxing and by themselves, I will give them their space, but will I always be there for them if they want to play!
About: I work in a veterinary clinic as a vet assistant and have worked with cats for a long time, even before the clinic! I’ve always had kitties in the house and know that every cat has their quirks! Cats can be more hesitant to warm up to people but I make it my mission to find that good scratch spot so we can be friends!

“This was Harvest’s first stay at Beth’s. He had an amazing time. Harvest rarely eats when left with others (because he can be anxious). He ate all his food there! He is a tired out pup tonight. Harvest will definitely return!”
“Heidi and her husband have graciously welcomed Belle into their home for daycare a few different times now. I have appreciated how responsive they are, and how readily they and their dogs accept Belle into their family.”

I did train my dogs starting at age 12 as well. Open at any time! Walks, potty breaks, petting session and everything in between! I have very few scheduling conflicts. Available almost all day every day :) With compassion and care. I would take care of your pet as it is needed and however you request! I would treat your animal and home as I would mine.

About: For over 38 years, I have had animals from cats, dogs, and pigs. I have a dedicated love and passion for animals; everything from walks to cuddles to playtime and treats. I'll make sure your fur babies feel loved, happy, and healthy. I am reliable and compassionate and excited to take care of your babies while you are away. I work from home during the week, which allows me to provide consistent and attentive care throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, pets, or cuddles, I’m able to be present and responsive to their needs. My priority is to ensure the safety so I will first check for fencing and leashing preferences of the family to ensure we are safe. I’ll also seek to understand all relevant home rules as they relate to pets and preferences.
“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!”

About: I absolutely love dogs of all breeds. I am very familiar with the “bully breeds”, and larger breed dogs. I love cuddles and exploring, playing with toys, and meeting new friends at doggy parks. Working from home allows me to not have to leave your babies home alone for more than a couple of hours if I need to do errands. My 12yr old loves all animals and is willing to keep your babies active or relax and lay around. We can be a very active household, but we like to have a relax day here and there as well. Our favorite time of day is walking or running outdoors. We are pleased to have any age dog around! When your pup is with me, they will be loved and treated as if they have been in the home with us their entire life. I currently work from home so have plenty of flexibility. We have a big yard with plenty of pup toys, we are very observant and make sure everyone is doing good at all times. I am a dog trainer as well so know a lot of different skills to work with most dogs.
About: I work remotely in marketing full time. We’re very grateful to have a nice home with a wonderful, large, fenced-in backyard that allows the dogs to go potty in and explore (bark!). My availability and hours are very flexible and the dogs are rarely left alone or kenneled, they are free to roam the house, I just close doors as necessary. I have never owned a dog of my own, I just grew up around dogs and cats. Mainly and most recently, it was a sisters two dogs our family spent the most time around: Gibbs (15 lb., 13 yr old, male Jack Russell Terrier & Beagle mix) and Zero (65 lb., 5 yr old, male Standard Poodle). I would basically Rover for her and her husband, which including giving the senior, anxiety-ridden dog meds (he didn’t enjoy, he would spit them up). We enjoyed being outdoors and evening walks around the neighborhood and having them a part of our family. They have then since moved to the West coast with their dogs. I work remotely and am blessed with the work-life balance it offers. I have an energetic elementary school-aged daughter. She's an empath and truly cares for all animals wellbeing! She's deeply concerned about any discomfort or distress. We have a dog-friendly orange cat named Buddy (4). He's fed first thing in the AM and enjoys chin scratches. He stays nearby me in my office or does his own thing. My daughter buses to and from school and I take a hour lunch at noon, then am done at 5 PM and we go about our evening routine. Dogs go out every few hours (sliding patio door) to the fenced in yard or when they signal me. Right in the morning and before bed. I try to get as much activity in for us as possible, especially on decent weather days. We utilize a nearby parks, dog park and walking trails in our community. Having the dogs here really motivate me to go for more walks, the dogs love them and I appreciate the eager walking company. I also live with my younger sister (23). She works full time 2 jobs as a CNA/retail, isn't home much but does help me care for the dogs, such as a short walk around the block. Our home is a 4 bed, 3 level split with a finished basement. It has a large secure, fully-fenced in yard and the property has 11 trees. Garage is attached. We all sleep in the upstairs bedrooms which is also where my office is. I have 2 litter boxes for my cat, one in garage that he prefers. The other is in the basement bathroom, where I can keep the door shut (Ive caught sisters dog eating litter covered turds). Our neighborhood is very safe and quiet. I have a reflective sash I wear out at night (this summer I was nearly ran over by an SUV when it was dark). The dogs usually sleep on the floor in my room and it's OK if they sleep on the bed, I am not concerned about fur. If the dog stinks, I can give them a bath either downstairs in the wash tub or upstairs in the bathtub. If they stay longer and start to stink, I will bathe them, because everyone feels better after a bath.
“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.”
About: I am a loving and dependable person; a wife and stay-at-home mom of 3 children. I live in a smoke-free environment with three responsible, independent children that adore animals.

I will be available after school from 3:30pm to 5:30pm on Tuesday-Thursday. During the summer I am available Tuesday-Thursday 8:00am-5:00pm. While working at a school, I’ve developed patience, strong organizational skills, and a commitment to consistent routines—qualities I apply to every pet I care for.

When coming to your home, I respect your guidelines and boundaries; I will stick to your feeding instructions, walking schedule, any behavioral cues or commands your pet knows; and frequent communication regarding your pet.

About: I love pets, walks, and the great outdoors! I grew up on a farm where I cared for goats, rabbits, hens, horses, cattle, cats and dogs. Growing up, we always had inside pets, including kittens and puppies. As a teenager, I regularly pet sat for neighbors who had cats and dogs, which gave me a wide exposure to different breeds, personalities and schedules. As an adult, I've raised and successfully trained two puppies (small and large breed) into adulthood. I also adopted and rehabilitated 1 dog from a shelter, and 2 cats. Over the years, I've cared for several dogs and cats for friends and family, including (small and large breed) senior dogs. I have experience interacting with anxious and fearful pets, in addition to administering their medications. I work from home, which allows me to provide dedicated care and attention to your pet. During work hours, I can offer frequent potty breaks and play time in our fenced backyard. In the morning and evenings, I can take your dog for long walks on nearby trails and post-walk cuddles. Overnights can be in a kennel, couch or bed. I approach each pet with calm energy, understanding they each have their own needs and personalities. I abide by my client's preferences to ensure their pets will be comfortable and safe. When I house sit or walk new dogs, I adapt to their space as much as possible. When I board dogs, I integrate them into my environment, ensuring they feel welcome. I have a fenced backyard with a pond, perfect for fetching. I have two kids (11, 15) and a small breed (male, Jack Russell terrier) named Tony, who sleeps on their beds. Tony gets along with all dogs, but also enjoys sleeping in his kennel, when necessary. We have several rooms available, if your dog prefers privacy. We live close to a veterinary clinic, several city parks, dog parks, and walking trails. Please let me know how to best accommodate your pet's needs.

I am tidy and respectful of homes, and prioritize the dog’s and the home’s health above all else. I am also used to any doggie accidents and am very experienced in cleaning up after dogs.

I will be available most nights before your dog’s bed times. I feed them, I can give them medicine, and I especially like to play with them! Come treat time, I like to make them work for their treat!

About: I’ve been caring for pets longer than I can remember - from helping grandma with her horses and barn cats to spoiling and training our own dachshund puppy and two amazing kitties - I am well equipped for any situation. Some background for me: I was born and raised in Alaska! There I took care of cats of varying abilities/disabilities/age, dogs of all sizes and abilities/disabilities/age, and fish! There’s been instances where I have stayed over a month to look over a special needs cat, and dug my car out after a heavy snow to make sure a hyper puppy gets a good hike in! I’m adaptable and communicative - you can be sure that I’ll send you plenty of photos and videos of your pet while you’re gone! Now I’m here in Minnesota to finish college, start life with my new husband, and take care of the pets in Southern Minnesota! I’m currently still a student! But I have Tuesdays, Thursdays, and the weekends for the most part completely open! Otherwise, I will make sure to check in on your pets between classes to ensure they don’t go more than four hours alone. I can’t have a pet in my apartment right now 😭 but when I’m back home in Alaska, we had a fenced area for our dog while she was still with us, and we have two full-time indoor cats. We love to spoil our animals - lots of love, kindness, and a patient environment. Just positive reinforcement and steady routines over here!

“I have nothing but great things to say about our experience with Ana and her family! She was great at giving me updates and photos of how things were going for my baby Arlo! I definitely recommend them and I will be using Ana and her family whenever I need someone to take care of Arlo again!”
“Lola had so much fun staying with Jenna and meeting some new friends. She slept the entire next day after coming home. We appreciated the updates and pictures sent to us during Lola’s stay. We would definitely book with Jenna again!”
“Meganne was kindly able to book my puppy last minute. She sent photos and videos of him with her family throughout the time frame. If time and proximity allows it, I will book with her again!”
“Joy took wonderful care of our dog. She sent pictures and was very communicative. Our dog seemed very happy while in her home. I would definitely recommend Joy to others, and we plan on using her again.”
“Darian was amazing. We used her for a 2 week vacation and we are so grateful to have found her. We will definitely use her again. She taught our puppy how to walk on a leash, which he was struggling with before we dropped him off. We received daily updates, photos and videos, and never had to worry about him being cared for, loved on and played with.”
“Heidi is one of the best dog sitters we have ever had! She and her son took amazing care of Vinny. She sent me pictures every day (and I mean each day) of her son snuggling, playing, and reading stories with Vinny. She was nice enough to drop Vinny off at our house so that he would be there when we got home since we had a late flight. We are already about to message Heidi to watch Vinny again!”
About: Hi! My name is Sage and I specialize in animal caretaking and welfare. I have lived my entire life with at least one animal in the house and I have been dog sitting on and off since high school. I am certified in three years of dog training and currently live with my lovely cat, London. I’ve never met a pet that I haven’t loved, and past employers would describe me as dependable, easy-going, and kind. My days are entirely open, except for the occasional one or two days a week where I am called in from one of my other jobs. I am also a full-time college student during the fall and winter time, but my summers are almost entirely clear. In my home, I live with my cat London, and four other housemates. If your animal stayed with me, they would never feel alone and would always have somebody in the house that can watch them or be there for all their needs. We have a lovely backyard full of grass, a back deck for lounging and sunbathing and a large neighborhood for daily walks. Your pet would feel like a king or queen in a castle! :)
“I took my 2 dogs there for the first time, and Jordan was great to communicate with, and she gave me plenty of updates on how the dogs were doing. I would highly recommend Jordan to take care of your dogs when you need someone to watch them for you.”
“Maisie was absolutely great! She provided timely updates of how our dog was doing, with pictures, and treated her with a loving and positive attitude. Our dog had a great experience. We will definitely use her services again!”

About: Hi, I’m Kaitlyn! I've been caring for animals of all shapes and sizes for over a decade — from tiny kittens to large breed dogs like my own lovable Cane Corso. Growing up surrounded by cats and dogs sparked a lifelong passion for animals, and I’ve been pet sitting since I was 12 years old. Whether your pet is high-energy or more laid-back, I’m confident in creating a safe, loving, and fun environment tailored to their needs. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’d love to meet your pet and make sure they feel right at home while you’re away! Pet care is a natural part of my daily life! I work a typical 8–5 job Monday through Friday, but I always make time for animals. I have a one-hour lunch break each day, which I use to go home and let my dog out, give him attention, and make sure he’s happy and comfortable. After work, you’ll usually find me walking, playing, or training with him—it’s one of the best parts of my day. On weekends, I’m completely available and fully dedicated to pet care, whether that’s watching over pets in my home or visiting yours. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and well-attended to. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you have. I’m patient, observant, and always respectful of each animal’s unique personality and needs. I also give regular updates so you can feel confident that your pet is in great hands while you're away.
About: I have taken care of pets (mainly dogs) for many years. I have expertise in walking, training, and making sure your pet gets the best care on a regular basis. I am currently in college and have classes M,W,F. I work at a daycare so my hours are different everyday but I still have availability to care for your pets! My weekends are always open. I am looking forward to help out! I care for pets how their owners care for them. I provide them with a caring personality and follow their routine and owner's regulations. That could be going on walks, feeding them, and playtime. Most importantly I want them to be comfortable with me so do that I think it is important to do things with them that they are familiar with.
About: Hello! I am a HUGE dog lover and I would love to hang out with your fur babies! Long walks, beachin, park dates, fetch, and cuddles are some of my favorite things, if this sounds like your pup I think we will become the best of friends! I have many years of dog walking and sitting experience and we always have the best time and I look forward to seeing my little friends again soon. I have no preferences on breeds and any size. I do have a Puggle (pug and beagle) at home and he gets along well with all dogs. If you have any specific questions, I’d love to connect with you and answer any question you may have. Looking forward to hearing from you soon! ~Ciara
