Personalized care for your dog or cat - Northwood
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Northwood
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.
“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”
“Amber and Doug are so good with Lola. She is always excited to see them, and Amber keeps me posted with lots of pictures of her activities, and stays in constant communication with me. I feel very comfortable leaving my baby girl with them. Thank you, Amber!”
“We would give Jill a thousand stars if I could. I can't say enough good things. My dog was a little high maintenance and she was so patient and loving with him. She sent us videos and pics multiple times a day and kept us updated. We leaned a few things about our dog that others never told us and are grateful for that. If you are thinking of asking Jill to watch your dog, don't have any hesitation. She is wonderful and it's very obvious loves all the furbabies! Thank you Jill! You don't know how much we appreciate you!”
“Seena was absolutely wonderful! My request last minute and Seena responded quickly. I was coming from out of town and didn’t have a chance to do any meet up beforehand. Seena’s communication was wonderful from beginning to end. Her dogs, Benson and Rhoda were both sweet. I appreciated the updates and Seena willingness to be accommodating with my irregular schedule. My anxious dog was well cared for and was in great hands.”
“This was our first time using Rover and having our pup stay with someone else and it couldn’t have been a better experience. Char took care of her like her own, sent pictures and updates throughout the stay. LuLu was so happy and tired out when we came to pick her up, we could tell she had so much fun and her “sleepover”! If you need someone to take care of your pet Char is the person to choose. Thank you!!”
“Deann was a great dog sitter! Very communicative throughout the stay and thoughtful prior to accepting the booking. Photos and videos everyday! I will definitely look to see if she is available in the future.”
“Meranda and her family were wonderful to my dog, Coco. She was well cared for and Meranda sent me frequent updates on Coco. It will helped with my anxiety about leaving Coco for a week.”
“Angelica did a great job with my dog while we were away. She was very happy when we came to pick her up and it was nice to get photos of her while we were out of town. Angelica was very responsive to messages and easy to communicate with. It's very clear how much she enjoys and cares for pets and we will likely be using her services again in the future”
“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!”
“Allison did a wonderful job looking after my dog. She gave several updates each day and made sure my pup had plenty of playtime and exercise. Will definitely reach out to Allison again!”

“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!”
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.

“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 grew up with cats and neighborhood dogs, and animals were always a part of my family. Now I have two dogs of my own: a 9-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer/Lab and a 1-year-old Basset Hound. I have experience with all ages, from puppies to grown-ups. I love dogs, but I'm also happy to do drop-ins for cats. I’m currently working part time where I schedule my own hours so I can be available whenever you need! Come fall, I will be back in my teaching position so my hours will be limited to evenings! When I care for your pets in your home, you can count on me to be reliable and accountable every single time. I'll make sure to be super attentive to your pet's needs and always follow their routines, as well as any specific procedures or rules you have in place. Your pet's comfort and your peace of mind are my top priorities.
About: As a long-time cat owner, I have hands-on experience with the daily routines and unique personalities that come with feline care. I’m patient, observant, and attentive—always tuned in to a cat’s body language and comfort level. I’m comfortable feeding on schedule, refreshing water, deep-cleaning litter boxes, and keeping a clean, calm environment. I also know how to help shy or cautious cats feel safe by giving them space and earning their trust at their own pace. While I’m new to cat sitting professionally, I bring real-life experience, reliability, and genuine love for cats. Your kitty will be treated with the same care and respect I give my own.

“This was my puppy Cosmo’s first daycare experience and I don’t think it could have gone any better! Seena was great watching Cosmo during the day and Cosmo and her dogs had a blast! Sometimes so much fun that Cosmo would just nap when he got home at the end of the day! Highly recommend Seena for anyone looking for daycare needs!”

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.

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.
