Our Goldendoodles stay with Ben and Jennifer was nothing but positive! We felt so at ease leaving Walter in their lovely home. Such a nice neighborhood and a big fenced in backyard—perfect for fetch! We received plenty of updates and it seemed as though they sincerely enjoyed having him around. We will always consider Ben and Jennifer for the future. So much better than having your pup kenneled up all the time while away. Thank you for taking such great care of our fur baby!

Wonderful family! Needed help watching our dog for 1.5 days over the Memorial Day weekend with less than a week to go and Erin and Brandon sure helped out! Communication was great throughout and even before the stay! Our anxious pup seemed at ease with everyone in the family from first meet and I could tell she was being well taken care of just from the pics. Everything about the stay was easy and I already told them that I’d be requesting them again in the near future!

Erica and Ciara did a great job taking care of my Cardigan Corgi for a couple days. He doesn't spend a lot of time around other dogs and recently was attacked while walking, so I was initially worried about how he would do with their dogs, but theirs are well trained and he fit into the pack quite easily, it seems. They understood his caution, given what he had been through, and they undertook appropriate precautions when exposing him to their dogs and others. In general, it seemed like a good experience for everyone and he made a couple more dog friends! I will definitely be a return (and repeat) customer.

About: I have always been an avid animal-lover. From childhood into adulthood, I have owned and cared for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, small mammals, reptiles, birds & fish. My family & I currently share our home with two dogs, a bearded dragon, a Russian tortoise, & a ball python. I have several years of professional work experience in animal care (zoo, kennel care, walking, basic grooming) and wildlife / parks & recreation—both of which are relevant. I enjoy the outdoors and keeping all of our furry (& scaly) friends happy. I will board dogs, small mammals, reptiles & birds in my home! Upon request, I can do drop-in visits for cats or exotic animals within a 15 mile radius. I am currently a stay-at-home mom & so my schedule allows me to be at home majority of the time. If I need to leave the house, it’s never for more than a couple of hours. I have a large four-story home, which provides amble space for pets to play or to be separated if need be. I utilize crates for dogs who need or prefer it. Our yard is unfenced, so I use slip leads and tie-out cables for potty time.

About: With over 20 years of hands-on pet care experience, I’ve had the joy of working with dogs at every life stage—from the playful chaos of puppy training to the tender, attentive care our senior pups need. In my home, every pet is family. Whether it’s trusted neighborhood walks, cozy overnight stays, or just some much-needed belly rubs, I pour my heart and soul into making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and genuinely happy. I have extensive experience working with anxious dogs and understand the patience, calm energy, and trust it takes to help them feel at ease. I’m also fully comfortable administering medications—whether oral, topical, or injections—so your pet’s health routines are always safely maintained. I know how deeply our animals can comfort and connect with us—especially when we need them most. That’s why I care for every dog as if they were my own. Tail wags, happy hearts, and becoming your pet’s new best friend—that’s what I’m here for. Pet care fits beautifully into my life right now. I’m a 33 year-old nurse using this summer as a season of pause and purpose while I navigate my next adventure into entrepreneurship. With a flexible schedule and a heart deeply rooted at home, I’m able to be fully present for the animals in my care—because that’s exactly where I want to be. My entire world revolves around my sweet 13-year-old yellow lab, Missy. She’s my heart dog, my daily joy, and the reason I’ve come to cherish slow mornings, long walks, and quiet snuggles on the couch. Being home with her as much as I can is what matters most to me these days—and extending that same love and attention to your pet is something I don’t take lightly. Whether your pup needs a calm, reassuring presence or a new best friend for playtime and companionship, I’m here to show up with open arms (and probably a pocket full of treats). Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, their comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family—free to roam, curl up on the furniture, and enjoy all the belly rubs they can handle. We go on daily walks through the neighborhood, explore local trails, and make time for fun at nearby dog parks if they love to run and play. If I’m coming to your home, I’m happy to stick to your pet’s routine and respect any specific instructions you have—whether that’s feeding schedules, medication, calming routines, or even helping with small errands or tasks while you’re away. I aim to create a calm, trusted environment wherever I am, so your pet feels safe, seen, and loved.

About: I have always been around animals and have had pets my entire life, including cats, dogs, and even birds. I really enjoy taking care of all animals and providing excellent service. My family has a bird, two shih tzus, and a cat. I have frequently been around bigger breeds as well so I am comfortable with any-sized pet. I have experience walking other people's dogs and pet sitting for family and family friends. I am busy this summer preparing for college in the fall, but I wanted something that I care about to fill some of my free time. I am also saving up for college expenses. I would love to make pet sitting/walking a major part of my life. I would be able to watch pets at the owners' home. I will be able to watch them overnight, and or come over to check on them as well as taking walks and playing with them.

Matt & Angie are the best! Literal lifesavers! I was in a massive bind with a school event and they agreed to take my dog in on super short notice, and were incredibly pleasant and sweet from start to finish. It’s clear they truly love animals. They treated her like their own and kept me updated with videos and pictures. It made a stressful day so much easier knowing she was in such good hands. She had so much fun and made new friends! I felt 100% comfortable leaving her in their hands. Highly, highly recommend!

About: Hi Hi! I'm a former vet tech with 20 plus years of experience training and caring for pets! Day outings, overnights or drop-ins are all in my skill set! I'm an active and aware professional photographer and personal trainer and I enjoy getting dogs out on the trails, socializing, training- you name it! I mainly live in Jackson Hole, WYoming but I own my own home here in Winona. I am here some parts of the year and I would love to open up my schedule to dog care! I am very flexible during the day. I'm a photographer and most of my shoots are in the afternoons or early evening. I can do outings in the morning and afternoon to satisfy all of the physical demands of the doggos! I hit the trails almost every day so I can take them with me for a run/walk :) I also have access to 40 acres of wooded hills that I can take the pups too! The safety of your pet is #1! I am a former vet tech and have a great knowledge of dog care and health. I can administer medications- no problem! If am coming to let your pet out of your house, I can walk in the neighborhood or have a play session in the yard. If your pet is at my home, I have a big, fully fenced yard and I live right across from East Lake Winona, the dog friendly lake :) I am very aware of every situation I take your dog into and can address needs or concerns ASAP. I treat every dog I watch as one of my own :)

About: Relocated here from Iowa. Enjoy working with different dogs. Pet lover. I completed 6 months of Veterinarian Assistant classes online. Life happened and I had to take a pause. But I am thinking about going back and finish obtaining my associates degree in the field. So whether it be house sitting with the animals or simply doing some walking or activities, I don't mind and will enjoy my time with them. Its something I enjoy as one of my hobbies. I am available during the week days. Every other weekend I work night shift at this time. I enjoy play time with pets because they too have different personalities. Love Dogs. We cuddle mostly and play. Take walks outside. Play fetch with their toys. It's cool to go to the backyard and be socialable with nature. I think it helps with sensory awareness.

I absolutely loved my experience with Andrew. My husband had major surgery and our Winnie got a little stir crazy at the hotel. Andrew treated her with such love and care. He treated her like one of his pack members. I have never left my dog with anyone but family before so I was a little nervous. After a couple pictures and texts from Andrew I could tell he had been spending quality time with Winnie and knew her quirky personality. We have to come to Mayo Clinic often for testing and I will not hesitate to use Andrew's services again!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

About: HELLO! I have been taking care of all kinds of dogs from pups to senior pets who have special needs. I have done stuff like this ever since I was in middle school. I am very flexible with my time. I do have a cat allergy but that won’t stop me from that either! I’m always here to help you’re best friend 😊 Im very flexible with my schedule for a couple months! I can do early mornings to late nights. I’m always able to help with anything! I’m very detail oriented and need straightforward instructions in order to properly care for a pet. The more straightforward the instructions the better! I treat any pet as if they were my own. Maybe a chance to spoil with my special frozen pet friendly watermelon slush for the hot summer days? Or a little trip to get a pup cup? My dogs are spoiled and I miss them so much so this would be a win-win for the both of us 🤣

About: I have always been around animals and have had pets my entire life, including cats, dogs, and even birds. I really enjoy taking care of all animals and providing excellent service. My family has a bird, two shih tzus, and a cat. I have frequently been around bigger breeds as well so I am comfortable with any-sized pet. I have experience walking other people's dogs and pet sitting for family and family friends. I am busy this summer preparing for college in the fall, but I wanted something that I care about to fill some of my free time. I am also saving up for college expenses. I would love to make pet sitting/walking a major part of my life. I would be able to watch pets at the owners' home. I will be able to watch them overnight, and or come over to check on them as well as taking walks and playing with them.

About: I’ve had dogs consistently in my house since I was born. We have had big german shorthairs, as well as miniature schnauzers so I’m accommodating to any size dog, and can easily take care of them. I’ve just returned from school abroad and am back looking for a full-time job but in the meanwhile will be petsitting/walking/etc. whenever is asked of me. I have a pretty free schedule, so most any booking should work. I would be super considerate of any rules applied by the owners whether in the clients home or mine. I just have a lot of fun bonding and playing with animals, so I’m happy to perform all pet care servcies.

Erica and Ciara did a great job taking care of my Cardigan Corgi for a couple days. He doesn't spend a lot of time around other dogs and recently was attacked while walking, so I was initially worried about how he would do with their dogs, but theirs are well trained and he fit into the pack quite easily, it seems. They understood his caution, given what he had been through, and they undertook appropriate precautions when exposing him to their dogs and others. In general, it seemed like a good experience for everyone and he made a couple more dog friends! I will definitely be a return (and repeat) customer.

About: I have always been an avid animal-lover. From childhood into adulthood, I have owned and cared for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, small mammals, reptiles, birds & fish. My family & I currently share our home with two dogs, a bearded dragon, a Russian tortoise, & a ball python. I have several years of professional work experience in animal care (zoo, kennel care, walking, basic grooming) and wildlife / parks & recreation—both of which are relevant. I enjoy the outdoors and keeping all of our furry (& scaly) friends happy. I will board dogs, small mammals, reptiles & birds in my home! Upon request, I can do drop-in visits for cats or exotic animals within a 15 mile radius. I am currently a stay-at-home mom & so my schedule allows me to be at home majority of the time. If I need to leave the house, it’s never for more than a couple of hours. I have a large four-story home, which provides amble space for pets to play or to be separated if need be. I utilize crates for dogs who need or prefer it. Our yard is unfenced, so I use slip leads and tie-out cables for potty time.

Finding someone I could trust, and love on him as their own was extremely important to me.
