“We came to town for an overnight trip and didn’t want our pup cooped up in a hotel room the whole time. Dae & Madison took great care of him and the next day I picked up a happy, played-out pup. It brought me a lot of comfort after talking with them knowing they had a lot of experience not only watching dogs through this platform but also with high energy dogs and dog behavior overall. I would definitely book again the next time we have an overnight trip in Grand Forks!”

“This will as the first time leaving my puppies with a sitter. Seena did an amazing job putting our minds at ease. Her passion for taking care of pets is obvious and her updates we amazing. I'm not even sure our puppy with separation anxiety even notice we were gone! If you ever need a sitter you can be confident in leaving them with her! They will be safe, loved, and spoiled!”

“Meranda did such a wonderful job with our Tippy! She gave regular updates, was able to administer his medication, and I picked up a happy dog at the end of a long weekend. I would absolutely recommend her and her family as a sitter!”

“Amber was fantastic! She was so communicative and made a feel very comfortable taking care of our dog. We could tell our dog was happy and comfortable staying with her. Thank you, Amber.”

“Nikie and her family were awesome with our 2 dogs. Ella got her exercise out in the fenced yard and Tillie got to rest inside just how they prefer! We received pictures throughout their visit, which we appreciated so much. Would recommend Nikie and wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again! Thank you so much Nikie, and your husband too, for taking such good care of our pups!”

“Jaedyn was quick to respond and excellent to communicate with! My dog was so excited when we dropped her off at Jaedyn’s place and she seemed well cared for when we picked her up. I’m sure Jaedyn’s son did all of the dog-sitting ?. (I think he really tired her out! Ruthie’s been napping consistently for the last 24 hours ?) I would be happy to use Jaedyn again in the future!”

About: I became a licensed Veterinary Technician in 2014 and have 10 years experience working in general practice. I have been dog sitting since high school. I currently work Monday-Thursday 8am to 5pm and come home for lunch noon-1pm to care for my own small senior dog as well as 2 senior cats. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly 12 year old dog named Penny. Penny and guest dog will be separated if I am not home but I will have a camera I can view the guest dog as needed if I'm at work. The resident cats will not have access to the guest dog while I am away. My pets eat 4 meals a day and Penny is let outside 4-7 times a day.
About: I have been watching dogs and cats for people for the last many years and have loved everyone of them. I love when they ask me again to watch the same dogs. we get such a bond and I get very excited when I can go back to watch them again. I also have had many dogs and cats when I was younger. I am not working and have a pretty open schedule. I always have time to love them like they are mine. I am such a animal lover I have 4 cats and 1 dog that get along great with other animals. I will care for them and love them as they are mine.
“Perfect dog sitter, I boarded with her last minute and my dog had a great time playing in her back yard with the other pups, flight got delayed and it wasn’t an issue, would highly recommend to anyone. Came back home and picked up a very happy and tired pup”

About: I've always loved animals, & have cared for dogs, cats, and many other animals since I was a kid. I have experience with kittens, puppies, nursing mothers, bottle-feeding puppies and kittens, potty-training and basic obedience training, and caring for seniors animals. In the last several years, my kids have joined me in caring for a variety of pets, from dogs and cats to reptiles and even a hedgehog. I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to make sure your pet gets the exercise and other care they need! I have a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company, a home and family environment for pet sitting or boarding, and a kennel available for use as necessary.
“I couldn’t have ask for a more loving and caring person to take care of Ivy. I felt at ease leaving Ivy at Sandra’s house with her dogs. It was like a ivy was a member of their family.”

“I would give 100 stars if I could. Kairouan was so great. She agreed to watch my dog on very little notice, and she loved my dog like she does her own. She sent me lots of pictures and updates showing how well cared for and entertained my dog was while I was gone. I can't recommend her services highly enough.”

“Amy is a very nice caring person. She communicates well. Took our dog for lots of walks. My dog had a good stay that would have been better is she had a secured backyard. On the other hand I did not investigate this but again she made up for this by taking him for walks. . She also gave him a nice bath.”

About: I have had pets all my life and have a lot of experience with cats and dogs. I have also had a gerbil, snake, turtle, and fish but I am open to learning about caring for any animal. My 2 elderly dogs passed away last year and I am now able to help others care for their pets. I have experience working at petco as a groomer and have volunteered walking dogs at the humane society. I have experience training dogs and am most familiar with the cues used at the gf kennel club. I am a nurse and I am comfortable giving medications if needed. My dog was very high maintenance with many health concerns and I learned a lot from her. My other dog had an anxious temperament and I took classes with her to learn how to help her feel more comfortable around new people and places. Animals bring so much joy to my life and I would love to help take care of yours! I have a very flexible schedule. I am taking time off of nursing to be a stay at home mom and I am at home a lot so just ask! I will always treat your pets with the love and attention I would want someone to provide my pets. They will get lots of attention and exercise!

“Great communication and takes lots of pictures. Was a little nervous about a stranger watching our cats but she did a meet and greet before hand which was amazing. Highly recommend”

“Cliona goes above and beyond with care for your babies. She was so sweet and loving to my delta, i was so grateful and at ease knowing how well she was going to be taken care of. Cliona is great at taking plenty of pictures, making sure everything litter/water is replenished and fresh and clean, and spoiling them with play and treats. She also was so gracious when i asked for a 2x a day visit and made it so easy for me. Your loved ones will absolutely be in good care with cliona!”


About: I just became a cat mom last year and it has been a fun and educational experience. My cat George is my whole world, and he has taught me a lot about understanding cats, their behavior and many quirks. I have been around and worked with cats with different personalities so I understand how to handle myself around them and to give them space if needed.
“Bella was great with our dogs and very dependable. Bella provided us pictures and updates that gave us a sense of ease as we were away from our pets. Would definitely recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and walked dogs for 3+ years as well as had my own almost my whole life! I love the different personalities and I understand how important it is to have someone who cares for your family member the way you do!

I will play with them & give them cuddles & all the scratches they need
“Jaedyn was great with my dogs, Charlie and Lily! She was able to let them out while I was out of town for a few days. She sent so many cute pictures of them during her visit, which I loved! I will definitely be using Jaedyn again when I travel for work.”

About: Been around dogs my entire life and absolutely love them. I owned a Jack Russell terrier, a dachshund, and an Australian shepherd. I have also owned a few reptiles including chameleons and bearded dragons. I understand different breeds and individuals have different needs. I would do everything in my ability to meet their needs and be the best sitter for you and your pet! I have many gaps throughout my daily life with my current job. I would be able to visit several times a day with no problem. I follow your pet’s routine, provide food, water, exercise, and attention, keep your home tidy, and send updates so you know they’re safe and happy

About: I know that cats aren’t just pets—they’re family, each with their own unique personality and routine. What sets me apart is my commitment to making your cat feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether they love energetic playtime, gentle chin scratches, or just need a calm, quiet presence to respect their space, I tailor my visits to their specific comfort levels. I’m incredibly reliable, highly detail-oriented when it comes to feeding and litter box routines, and I’ll always keep you updated with daily photos so you can have total peace of mind.

About: I’ve worked with cats while volunteering at a humane society and am comfortable caring for both social and more independent cats. I focus on keeping their routine consistent, making sure they’re fed, comfortable, and given attention on their terms. I understand that every cat has a unique personality.

“Allison has been the bestest with watching our Frankie! She adores his play dates to pieces and as a weird paranoid pup mom, I’m so grateful for her updates and pictures throughout the day!!!”

About: With a background as a CNA, I’m skilled in administering shots, medications, and specialized care, perfect for pets with medical needs. Growing up around animals, and with my mom married to a veterinarian, I’ve learned firsthand how to handle everything from wiggly puppies to senior pets needing extra TLC. Plus, as a mom, I know that babies (human or furry) thrive on patience, love, and routine! Whether it’s cuddles, training, or medical care, your pet will be in gentle, capable hands. As a homeschooling mom, my schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide personalized care for your pets throughout the day. Whether it’s morning walks, midday playtime, or evening snuggles, I can easily work around your pet’s routine. With experience caring for both little ones and animals, I know how to juggle responsibilities while making sure every pet gets the attention, love, and care they need. Plus, with my background in medical care, I’m comfortable handling any special needs your pet may have. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or yours. In my home, I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of supervision, snuggles, and structured playtime. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable, following their usual routines to reduce stress. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and ensure they feel secure while you’re away. I follow all instructions closely, from feeding schedules to medication needs, and keep you updated with messages and photos. With my CNA background and experience around veterinary care, I’m comfortable handling pets of all ages, including those with medical or special needs. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities, and I’m proud to say I carry full pet care insurance for added peace of mind. Whether it’s boarding, walking, or drop-in visits, you can trust they’ll be in loving, capable hands.
About: I have had dogs my whole life. I have previously fostered for multiple years. Shy or nervous dog? No problem! I have worked with dogs of all types and want to make sure they are as comfortable in my home as they are in their own. I currently have 2 of my own dogs. I work from home and am fortunate to have a fenced in yard. I take breaks throughout the day and play fetch or just sit in the sun. I do have a doggie door that allows the dogs to come and go in and out as they please! I have two friendly dogs of my own that will keep your pet company. I have a 6ft privacy fence that lets the dogs run and play as much as they like. There is multiple dog beds throughout the house to make sure they have a comfy place to lay wherever they’d like.
About: I love small dogs. I've had my own dogs for 20 years now, raising them from puppies to seniors. I know how hard it can be to find pet-sitting services, especially for multiple overnights. When I travel, I prefer to have someone stay at my house and be with my dogs - not just show up once in a while to feed them or let them out. What I want for my own dogs is what I give to you - 24/7 personal care for your pet. I know how expensive it can be to board dogs and the guilty feeling knowing that they are going to be in a kennel for most of the time. When your dog is with us, they are part of the family! My rates are a bit more expensive than boarding facilities but its the constant care, no cages, 24/7 love and affection that you are getting that makes a few dollars more worth it. Your dogs are free are to do their thing and can even sleep with us if that is what they are used to! Our bed is big enough! I prefer smaller (20 pounds or less) hypoallergenic breeds that will get along with my own fur-babies. Yours must be spayed or neutured, because my 2 bichon frises are not (we are hoping for babies!). Spy on us if you want - I have a Furbo or we can set up a camera for zoom. But I promise to send lots of pictures! I provide 24/7 care. Your dog will never be left alone. Rover is new to me, but my dogs rule this house. We are very dog-friendly, from toys and treats to washable rugs and floors! Your dog can even sleep with us if thats what they are used to. I have a large fenced in backyard with lots of room for dogs to run and play. I will take them outside frequently, although we have a doggy door as well. Your dogs will never be unattended. Your dogs will be our priority when they are here - keeping them safe, loved, and entertained!

If you have any questions or special requests just message me I'm sure we can work something out. I look forward from hearing from you Thank you! Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I work from home most days. Looking after animals has just always come naturally to me. I enjoy making sure they're fed, exercised, and comfortable. It's just a normal part of my day. For drop-in visits, I make sure pets are fed, have fresh water, get bathroom breaks, and enjoy some playtime or attention to keep them comfortable while their owners are away. For walks, I ensure they have great exercise and tire out any zoomies they may have and I follow any specific instructions the owner provides.

“Gracie loves Blaize and gets so excited to see them every day. Keeps me well informed and takes great pictures of Gracie while they're out. They've been an amazing person to work with.”

About: Hello! My name is Ava, i’m 19, and i’m a HUGE dog person. I’ve had dogs my whole life, big and small, lazy and crazy, girls and boys. I also have tonsssss of experience with reactive pups. I’m the main dog walker in the family. I’ve also dog sat for many families and I’ve worked for a doggy daycare/boarding facility. I know how to read body language and how to approach nervous pups. I can also handle leash pullers of any size. My current obsession is fostering. I foster for Journey Home Animal Rescue with my roommates and we are LOVING it. Your dog will be so loved under my care. I seriously treat them like children. All dogs are good dogs!:) I currently work part time as a lifeguard and my schedule is usually all over the place and never really consistent so my plan is to take clients when i know ill be available. I treat all dogs like they’re my own! I’ve always had a deep connection with animals and i’ve been told it’s because i treat them as if they’re a human. I like to spoil pups any way that i can (walks, treats, playtime, nap time, cuddles, etc.) depending on their preferences because all dogs are different!
About: Since 2011, I’ve had amazing pet experiences with dogs, from loyal companionship to joyful adventures, shaping my life with love and trust. With that being said I’d love to be given the opportunities on this platform to help others! Weekends are completely open for me, making them an ideal time for drop-in visits and dog walks. I naturally start my mornings early with outdoor activity, so fitting in a walk or check-in visit is a seamless part of my routine rather than an afterthought. Throughout the day I'm out and about running errands, which means I'm already on the move and happy to swing by for a midday visit. While I do have social plans some evenings, mornings and afternoons are consistently available and I'm always happy to work around your pet's schedule. Dogs have been a central part of my life from day one — I grew up surrounded by them and currently share my home with two dogs of my own. This lifelong experience means I genuinely understand canine behavior, body language, and what it takes to keep a pup happy, comfortable, and safe. As a drop-in visit and dog walking provider, my focus is entirely on your dog in their own familiar environment — the place they feel most secure. Every visit is attentive and personalized, ensuring your pet receives dedicated one-on-one care, a reliable routine, and plenty of love while you're away. You can trust that your dog is in experienced, caring hands. I treat every client's pet with the same commitment and affection I show my own — because to me, it's never just a job.
“I’ve never meet Isabella, but she had great communication and was even willing to still walk my dog even though the weather was a little rainy. This was my first time using the app so I was a little worried but she was so nice and made me feel at ease. I would book with her again if I needed someone to walk my dog.”

“Amanda was super communicative and understanding! She took my last minute booking asap and was amazing at coordinating a pickup/drop off. She was very excited to work with my dog and took her to the river walk! Couldn’t recommend her more!”

“We came to town for an overnight trip and didn’t want our pup cooped up in a hotel room the whole time. Dae & Madison took great care of him and the next day I picked up a happy, played-out pup. It brought me a lot of comfort after talking with them knowing they had a lot of experience not only watching dogs through this platform but also with high energy dogs and dog behavior overall. I would definitely book again the next time we have an overnight trip in Grand Forks!”

“This will as the first time leaving my puppies with a sitter. Seena did an amazing job putting our minds at ease. Her passion for taking care of pets is obvious and her updates we amazing. I'm not even sure our puppy with separation anxiety even notice we were gone! If you ever need a sitter you can be confident in leaving them with her! They will be safe, loved, and spoiled!”

“Meranda did such a wonderful job with our Tippy! She gave regular updates, was able to administer his medication, and I picked up a happy dog at the end of a long weekend. I would absolutely recommend her and her family as a sitter!”

“Amber was fantastic! She was so communicative and made a feel very comfortable taking care of our dog. We could tell our dog was happy and comfortable staying with her. Thank you, Amber.”

“Nikie and her family were awesome with our 2 dogs. Ella got her exercise out in the fenced yard and Tillie got to rest inside just how they prefer! We received pictures throughout their visit, which we appreciated so much. Would recommend Nikie and wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again! Thank you so much Nikie, and your husband too, for taking such good care of our pups!”

“Jaedyn was quick to respond and excellent to communicate with! My dog was so excited when we dropped her off at Jaedyn’s place and she seemed well cared for when we picked her up. I’m sure Jaedyn’s son did all of the dog-sitting ?. (I think he really tired her out! Ruthie’s been napping consistently for the last 24 hours ?) I would be happy to use Jaedyn again in the future!”

About: I have been watching dogs and cats for people for the last many years and have loved everyone of them. I love when they ask me again to watch the same dogs. we get such a bond and I get very excited when I can go back to watch them again. I also have had many dogs and cats when I was younger. I am not working and have a pretty open schedule. I always have time to love them like they are mine. I am such a animal lover I have 4 cats and 1 dog that get along great with other animals. I will care for them and love them as they are mine.
“Perfect dog sitter, I boarded with her last minute and my dog had a great time playing in her back yard with the other pups, flight got delayed and it wasn’t an issue, would highly recommend to anyone. Came back home and picked up a very happy and tired pup”

About: I've always loved animals, & have cared for dogs, cats, and many other animals since I was a kid. I have experience with kittens, puppies, nursing mothers, bottle-feeding puppies and kittens, potty-training and basic obedience training, and caring for seniors animals. In the last several years, my kids have joined me in caring for a variety of pets, from dogs and cats to reptiles and even a hedgehog. I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to make sure your pet gets the exercise and other care they need! I have a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company, a home and family environment for pet sitting or boarding, and a kennel available for use as necessary.
“I would give 100 stars if I could. Kairouan was so great. She agreed to watch my dog on very little notice, and she loved my dog like she does her own. She sent me lots of pictures and updates showing how well cared for and entertained my dog was while I was gone. I can't recommend her services highly enough.”

“Amy is a very nice caring person. She communicates well. Took our dog for lots of walks. My dog had a good stay that would have been better is she had a secured backyard. On the other hand I did not investigate this but again she made up for this by taking him for walks. . She also gave him a nice bath.”

About: I have had pets all my life and have a lot of experience with cats and dogs. I have also had a gerbil, snake, turtle, and fish but I am open to learning about caring for any animal. My 2 elderly dogs passed away last year and I am now able to help others care for their pets. I have experience working at petco as a groomer and have volunteered walking dogs at the humane society. I have experience training dogs and am most familiar with the cues used at the gf kennel club. I am a nurse and I am comfortable giving medications if needed. My dog was very high maintenance with many health concerns and I learned a lot from her. My other dog had an anxious temperament and I took classes with her to learn how to help her feel more comfortable around new people and places. Animals bring so much joy to my life and I would love to help take care of yours! I have a very flexible schedule. I am taking time off of nursing to be a stay at home mom and I am at home a lot so just ask! I will always treat your pets with the love and attention I would want someone to provide my pets. They will get lots of attention and exercise!
