“This is the first time I’ve had to leave my cats with someone else, and I didn’t want a kennel-like environment. Lyudmila provided daily photos and updates on what the cats were up to. She put my mind at ease. Her kids also pitched in with even more love and attention. She was a great provider and I was never concerned about their well-being.”

“Pamela was absolutely amazing! Our lab has never stayed with a sitter so our dog was nervous/stand-off-ish at first but Pamela quickly started building trust with her! We were getting daily pictures/videos. We could tell that our dog was loved & cared for. We will definitely be re-booking with Pamela!”

“First time leaving my puppy, Ollie, with a sitter. Adam was the perfect sitter for my little, timid pup. He knew how to make Ollie comfortable with him, was knowledgeable of dog training techniques, responsive to any questions I had, and left pics and comments. Ollie was well taken care of and my vacation was worry free.”
“Kiersten was great dropping in on my 19 year old cat Tabby while I was away for a week. She took care of feeding Tabby, changing the water bowls and scooping the litter box. She was very responsive, polite and friendly and I can tell Tabby was well cared for. The pics Kiersten took of Tabby each day were much appreciated not to mention, very good photos!”
“Abigail was a fantastic cat sitter! She took care of my little lady just like I asked. She communicated very well and sent multiple photos of Loey everyday while I was gone. She even took in some packages I had delivered which I had asked her to do. Loey and Abigail were the best of friends while I was gone and I highly recommend her!”
“Harlie was in every way a great sitter and companion for my two cats, Jonathon and Eleanor. She was patient with Jonathon and gave them both lots of attention - play time and snuggle time. She communicated with photos every day while I was gone which gave me a great sense of satisfaction knowing my kitties were being well attended to. I definitely recommend Harlie and would ask her to sit again - no question.”
About: I grew up with cats and helping take care of family pets, each of them having unique personalities; from shy seniors who don't like strangers to energetic kittens keen on getting into trouble, I've had the pleasure of interacting with them all.

About: I have lived with and cared for cats of all ages since I was a child. From a litter of kittens I had to raise, to some ornery seniors that fell in love with me. I love them all. I have always had a way with cats and have never met a cat that didn't like me. (take it from my grandma's cat who hated everyone except me). I also have experience in the veterinary field and can administer medications if needed.

“Awesome sitter! Was able to squeeze my girl in last minute on the Fourth of July so I could spend time with family instead of stressing over her barking (from separation anxiety) in the hotel. Erin is so sweet and invited us in right away to take a look at her house and the backyard. She made me feel very good about leaving my little angel in her care. When we went to pick her up Erin invited us in again and filled us in on everything they did together. Mocha was a very happy girl when we picked her up and I know they had fun together!”
“So great! Very responsive and sent updates. My doggie wasn’t feeling great and it put me at ease knowing she was in good hands, while I was at work. 10/10 will book with Pamela again.”

About: I have a lot of dog experience plus dogs myself. I’ve taken classes trained and also done boarding before. I also know how to do cpr and tend to special dogs I love spending time with my dogs. Your dogs will get the same amount of attention and loving as my dogs do. Nothing better than spending my free time with my dogs. I have a fenced in yard. I have 2 dogs that can and will keep them company. Super friendly dogs that will play all day if they could.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I’ve trained my own dogs through three levels of obedience and raised five of them from the time they were 8 weeks old and took care of them through their elderly years including in pup wheel chairs. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and personalities, from playful puppies to independent cats and senior pets. I treat every animal as if they were my own—making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I work school hours during the week and have Thursdays at home, which gives me extra flexibility for pet care. I’m available for walks and drop-ins after 4 p.m. on weekdays, and for boarding or extended visits on weekends. Your pets will always get plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I love spending time brushing and walking all of my furry friends. I don’t have a fenced yard at this time, but I spend lots of time outside with pets in our spacious back yard and make sure they’re always safely supervised. I’m comfortable using leashes, harnesses, and long leads to give dogs room to explore while keeping them secure. Whether in my home or yours, I create a calm, caring environment where every pet feels safe and loved.
“Mindy was absolutely amazing with our dog Brodie! From the moment we dropped him off, we felt confident that he was in great hands. She kept us updated throughout the day with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. Brodie came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

About: I went to school to be a vet tech. I can administer any medications you may need. I specialize in the care of elderly pets and their unique needs. Animals are better than people. My schedule is open for weekdays or weekends, night or day. Your babies can come stay with me or I can stay with them (sometimes home is just less scary) Whether at my home or yours if there’s a yard we’ll be playing for hours, if there isn’t we’ll be taking some fun walks at the park. I always check the air temperature to decipher concrete temps because nobody wants hot paws! I also always carry water so we can all stay happy and hydrated.
“Mikasa was very accommodating and has great communication. She sent me pictures threw out the day and stayed in contact and was on time. I never worried about my puppy Raven for a second.... she also had her Yorkie for playmate. I will be using Mikala anytime I need a sitter for Raven. :)”

“My partner and I were driving across the country with our 50lb Samoyed, Jack, to relocate to our new home. On our trip, we decided to stop through Fargo where my family is from and take in NDSU football game — Go Bisons! We needed someone to watch Jack for the few hours we were at the game, and Taylor readily accepted our last minute (day before) request. Jack is a calm, friendly dog who seems to have been experiencing some anxiety on the long drive and is not consistently eating or pooping. We were a little nervous leaving him with new people in a new place when he was already on edge. However, Taylor and her family seemed to put him at ease immediately. Taylor kept us updated with pictures and milestones, and when we picked him up he had eaten all of his food, pooped, and played a bunch outside. He seemed happy, calm, and well cared for. If you have any dog sitting needs, we definitely recommend Taylor!”
“KayLee was great and took such great care of our Saige. Love that she took the time to do a meet and greet with her pups when we dropped off to let them get acquainted before I left. The detailed update when we picked her up was great as we very much appreciated knowing how Saige did and that her nightly routine went smoothly! She was so tuckered out she fell asleep on the short ride home. Thanks again!”
“Tyler is a dog lover and trainer. My German Shepherd puppy adores him and runs up to his door whenever he watches her. I highly recommend Tyler for your dog daycare or boarding needs! Deb”
“Ana did a great job watching our pup while we were visiting from out of town. She was understanding and responsive to our dog who was upset and needy due travel and changing environments. We hope to be back soon!”

“Kathryn is absolutely wonderful with my two pups. She realized right away little Dukie does better with his “momma” on their walks so she takes both the pups together. Kathryn is extremely kind, trustworthy, and very good at communicating. It takes so much off my plate knowing I have a dependable dog walker/sitter for when my baby gets here, absolute Godsend!”

“Kierstin was great with our dogs! One of them usually takes a little bit of time to warm up to people, but she liked Kierstin right away! She was great with communication, prompt, and wonderful with our dogs. Will definitely use her again!”
About: I’ve got quite a bit of experience with all sorts of animals! I grew up with two dogs, one of which had diabetes and required me to give them insulin occasionally, so I’m comfortable being around dogs of all shapes and sizes. I currently have four cats of my own, each with their own personality and temperament, so taking care of cats should be no problem. I love spending time with animals—I will give them all the scratchies and probably send too many pictures, but they will be adored and taken care of while you’re away! I currently work part-time for the City of Fargo and am looking to fill in some free time by hanging out with some animals around the city of Fargo. My shifts are usually short, so I’m able to check on your pets before work, after work, and some times in the middle of the day. I am trustworthy and reliable! While visiting pets in your home, I’ll spend time giving them all the attention and all the pets. And after my visit, I’ll take care to ensure that your house is locked and left with the same care I found it.
About: I’ve pet sat for friends and family over a period of time, and also have a dog of my own. I’m able to help out with any kind of care you need, and dogs typically warm up to me easily. I work very sparingly, so I have plenty of time and attention to give your fur babies! I’m around my dog all day every day, and I take her everywhere with me as much as I can. I have a very friendly and high energy border collie, so your dogs will always have a play mate. I’m willing to crate your dogs if need be, and any other cars you’re in need of.
“Adam did an awesome job with our dogs! Scarlett doesn’t always have the best social skills with new people, but he handled her like a pro and she warmed up fast. Luka had a rough start not feeling the best, but Adam took it all in stride and kept both dogs safe and happy. This walk was a prep for upcoming house sitting, and it gave us a lot of confidence knowing he communicates well, goes above and beyond, and really cares. Highly recommend!”
About: I have helped friends and family care for their pets when they are gone. I even helped a neighbor friend when I was in middle school take care of his dogs when his family was out of town. I enjoy spending time with animals especially dogs. I get summers off from my full time job. I will have a part time job which is scheduled on my terms. Therefore I have availability in my schedule to have several "clients" and fulfill required tasks. I have a fenced yard. Also take my dog on several walks especially in the summer. He enjoys playing tug of war in the house with his toys. He also gets exercise running up to the front window to bark at cars going by. :)
About: Hello! I am a current student at North Dakota State University studying animal science on a pre-veterinary track. I am very passionate about pet care and taking care of animals. I have previously worked in pet boarding working with dogs, cats, rodents and even birds. I love animals of all kinds and would love to help you out with your pets! I have a pretty flexible schedule considering I am in college. This being said, it is not optimal for me to need to be with a pet 24/7. I do prioritize class and extracurriculars, but would love to spend all my free time caring for animals! I currently have two cats and a dog at home. Along with my extensive knowledge since working at a boarding facility (which is connected to a vet clinic as well) I am very confident in my pet safely skills.
“Abigail has been so great with Boston, every time he sees her he's so excited and he's worn out by the time she gets him back but he's so thrilled every time! I trust him with her wholeheartedly <3”
About: I've grown up with vastly different dogs; my first was a grumpy senior cocker spaniel and my last was the sweetest, smartest Australian Shepard/blue heeler. I've also taken care of friends' and family's pets like my aunt's deaf pitbull and my cousin's St. Bernard. Needless to say, I have a wide range of pet experience. I'm currently an online graduate student, which means I have flexibility to work around yours and your pet's schedule. I'm available most days with available times from early morning to late evening. It's important for a pet to feel safe in their home. It's important to follow a pet's boundaries, I try to cater to their needs and their routine.
