Highly-rated overnight sitters - Gustavus
“Rachel & Dan are amazing! Leaving your fur baby with strangers is a HARD choice, but Rachel sent me updates and photos everyday to ease my heart and mind. I was so thankful to see her everyday. They stayed up to accomadate my late flight home and sent my girl home with the sweetest surprise. I would 100% recommend.”
“Fifth time client and as always, a great experience. Our dogs love Chelsea and her family. Lots of snuggles and playtime and love. She is our go to and #1 choice any time we are headed out of town.”
“10/10 Jamie was AMAZING from booking to pickup! She was gracious through our need to book last minute (which nobody enjoys having to rush to find a dog sitter, so this was greatly appreciated). She took time to ask questions and fill us in on their process of handling a guest dog in their home. Her home is beautiful (I said I wanted to take his place being boarded there lol), it looks like actual doggy heaven. She sent videos and pictures that made our hearts so happy while out of town, and we could visually see how great she treated our little guy (who can be difficult to say the least). They treated our dog as if he were a part of their family in a short period of time and we couldn’t be more grateful to have found her! Oh and a bonus was after we picked our little guy up he behaved SO WELL, like way better than usual…..I think he was missing Jamie, her family, and her dog ❤️ You cannot go wrong with booking with her!”
“Second time my kitty has stayed with Katherine and will most definitely be going back! She gives updates and sends pictures everyday. A wonderful sitter highly recommended!!!!”
“Keely took great care of my dog. She sent me pictures and updates throughout my vacation which kept me at ease since this was my first time boarding. Looking forward to working with her in the future!”
“she was great! Took our dog on 2 walks a day(which he really needs) and updated us on his lack of eating from being in new environment. Jenn cooked him up a meal that he gobbled up. She works full time at home, so she is always there. Has a good size yard with a dog run on a overhead wire (which my dog needs as he will take off after any critter)”
“Amazing! Would highly recommend. Knew my Bear was loved and cared for. Was able to help us with short notice after a my wife and I have been dealing with a tree falling on our house. Very grateful!”
“Maya is an awesome nanny for our kitty. While we were traveling to Yellowstone National Park, Maya kindly helped take care of our little girl—our beloved cat, Meme. She kept us updated with photos and stories of Meme’s daily activities. As a talented writer, Maya beautifully captured their moments together with vivid and heartwarming descriptions. Meme quickly warmed up to Maya and settled in with ease. She’s been eating well—so well, in fact, that she’s noticeably heavier than before! We’re truly grateful for the time and care that Maya and her husband devoted to looking after her. Thanks to their support, we were able to enjoy our trip with complete peace of mind.”
“Ronda is an amazing dog sitter!! She was friendly with us as well as the dog. I felt confident after the play meet because she let our good dog kairi run around in every room and outside. The house was very clean, freshly scented and safe for dogs. We were sent pictures everyday without asking or bothering her. We had no complaints for a whole 9 days on vacation to California. We will always contact her for future dog sitting no matter the duration. We trust her and she’s a good, nice, modern, casual, and sweet person. Easy to talk with and recommend her for sure upon being strangers. Ronda watched our pitbull with confidence with all the true information about Kairi. It worked out. Thank you so much!!”
“Awesome! She was accommodating, pleasant to work with and I felt confidant that my pup was well taken care of. Gina stayed in communication during my time away and was responsive to my texts and questions. I would highly recommend her and would definitely use her again.”
“Amazing! Brandon was super friendly, informative, and helpful throughout my dog’s entire stay. I was a bit nervous since I’ve never boarded my dog before. Brandon definitely put me at ease and sent me several photos daily with updates. My dog had a great vacation there playing with the other dogs. I am very grateful to Brandon for such a positive experience.”
“I can’t recommend Maria enough! She takes amazing care of my fur babies which includes taking them on lots of walks, which they love. She really helped me out when I was in a bind and was able to take my fur baby overnight with very short notice. I am so thankful to have found her!”
“Amanda and Aaron did an amazing job of taking care of our two dogs while we were away on vacation. We received daily photos and corespondents on how they were doing and we felt completely comfortable while they were in their care. You can tell they are true dog people. I would recommend Amanda to anyone who is looking for quality dog care.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, so caring for animals has always been something that comes naturally to me. For the past 6 years, I’ve also provided pet sitting for friends and family, giving me experience with pets of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s individual routine and needs. I take pride in providing loving, dependable care and making sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work from home except on Monday’s , which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide regular check-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I’m also available for pet care on both weekdays and weekends, making it easy to work around your schedule. I’m happy to follow each pet’s normal routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they can feel right at home. I have a fully fenced-in yard where pets can safely play, run, and get plenty of exercise. I also have two friendly dogs of my own—a Golden Retriever and a Boxer/German Shepherd mix—who love making new friends. I’m happy to provide plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and cuddles while following each pet’s normal routine and individual needs.
“I don’t think I can thank Jonathan and Tessa enough! I honestly didn’t think Bertha would want to come home when I saw how happy she looked in the yard! I was worried because I have never left her overnight outside of my house, but the minute I dropped her off I knew she was in good hands! If you have a chance to book Tessa and Jonathan you should do it immediately!! Thanks for taking such good care of my girl!!”

About: Hello! I currently work at a dog boarding and daycare center. I absolutely love taking care of the dogs daily. I’ve gained tons of hands-on experience caring for dogs in a busy boarding and daycare setting, providing attentive, compassionate care to ensure each dog felt safe and comfortable. As well as feeding, exercise, playtime, and basic health monitoring while supervising group interactions to encourage positive behavior and prevent conflicts. I’ve developed strong skills in handling dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities while maintaining a clean, organized, and stress-free environment 🐾🩷 Pet care is a central part of my daily schedule through my work at a dog boarding and daycare center. Each day involves hands-on responsibilities such as feeding, exercising, supervising playgroups, monitoring behavior and health, and maintaining clean and safe environments for the dogs in my care. Because my workday is structured around consistent routines and animal needs, I am accustomed to prioritizing timely care, attention, and safety. This experience allows me to seamlessly integrate pet care into my schedule while remaining reliable, attentive, and responsive to each dog’s individual needs. When walking pets, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and enjoyment at all times. I ensure each walk is suited to the dog’s age, energy level, and temperament, providing appropriate exercise while maintaining control and awareness of surroundings. I pay close attention to behavior, leash manners, and potential hazards, and I follow any specific instructions regarding routes, pacing, or handling. Throughout the walk, I offer positive reinforcement, patience, and attentive care to ensure each pet feels secure, stimulated, and well cared for.
“Nick is very professional and gets along so well with Rey! He gave time, attention, medications, and some great neck scratches to my senior/fresh from a TPLO girl. I could not recommend him more.”
“Paige was an outstanding sitter for Princess, and a very separation anxiety, Panache. She made sure that his food was upstairs under my bed, so that he could access it. It does take her awhile to answer texts from me, but her care of my pets and home was excellent.”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for 20 plus years for friends and family along with my own pets which include two dogs and three cats. I have trained dogs from early puppy stages and also cared for senior ages. I work Wednesday Thursday Friday I’m available after 7 pm I’m off Saturday Sunday Monday Tuesday available anytime. I’m offering drop ins, sitting and walking! Your fur babies will definitely be loved and get their playtime in along with lots of treats if allowed. I have had many animals growing up dogs, cats, lizards and even a raccoon 😃 I have trained dogs from their puppy stages and loved every minute of it. You can trust that ur babies will be in good hands.. ❤️ I am currently working but I have plenty of time to give my full attention and time to your fur babies. I am available weekends! I have a big yard for your fur babies to run around in and also two dogs of my own to play along. I am also able to crate if needed!
About: Pets are family, and they deserve to be treated like family. I have doggy sat for a family friend for 3yrs, Zoe, and Zarley. They go out 4 to 5 times a day, they get treats for going boo boo outside. We run around the apartment and play as much as my bones will let me. I am able to brush the furbabies every day, and multiple times a day if needed. I do talk to them like they can answer me…..😂😂. Animals understand more than we think they do. I love animals so much. I wish I could get one for me. But at this time, I am unable to afford one. I will not get any animal that I know I can’t pay for what they need. I was working up until 09/2025. I got hurt at work, and I’m unable to return. I am available 24/7 now. I have plenty of time to give ALL of my time to furbabies now. I have a full time job working midnights. I get off at 7am, but don’t usually go to sleep till around 10am. I do not work Friday nights. My part time job is just Mon., we’d., and Fri, from 9am to 1pm. I have every other weekend off. I always put fur babies first in my home. I play with them as often as I can. They are allowed on the furniture and bed. No matter what I am doing, I will stop to take them out, or play with them. I DO NOT give for babies ppl food, their little digestive system mite not be able to handle it. If there is something extra that you say they need, and you don’t have, I will buy it for them. I remove any and everything off the floors, so they cannot get in it. If there is a special diet that they have, I will just need written instructions on how to prepare it.
About: I love dogs. I have three at home. I would say I am well mannered and patient as well as attentive to their needs. I’ve had many experiences pet sitting and understand the expectations that are required to care for fur babies. I hope you will consider me! I currently don’t have a full-time job so I’m free anytime and for anything pet parents might need for their fur babies! Please consider me! Having multiple pets in my own home makes cleaning more of a chore so I try to keep everything as clean as possible. My dogs are on an invisible fence and have the whole yard to roam but I still try and play with them as much as I can. I would say I am a cleanly person and would help animals in any way I can!
About: I have Two cats well about to be three cats I’ve had taken care of a bunch of fur babies and I love it much I have an open schedule I have no job right now i’m looking for a decent one indeed but I’ll pet sit until I do There’s a nice field to play with and i’m always active with the fur babies they’ll never be bored.

Pet sitting and walking is something I do because I enjoy it. i am available most times of day, 7 days a week. I am comfortable with enclosed fencing, invisible fences, leashes and tie outs.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Gustavus
About: I have been a certified dog trainer for 15 years, a boarder/sitter for 10 years, and a foster for 2. I do what I love! Pups are my full-time job so fitting them into my lifestyle is never inconvenient. Training, boarding, daytime care, or I can host your pet's birthday party with a cake or pupcakes, decorations, and fun games! All pets that come to my home are treated like my own. We have 2 acres for plenty of play space, walks, runs, and exploring. I am a dog foster and often have dogs in my home, but am able to also have your pet/pets as the only ones if preferred!
“Honestly I couldn't ask for more. My pup came from a shelter with an unclear history. I found a sitter who is hitting every goal I looked for. She truly cares for my girl and I couldn't ask for more.”
About: Hi, I’m Jamie, and I’m thrilled to bring my love for animals and my 18 years of experience as a Registered Nurse to the world of pet care. I know that your pets are more than just animals—they’re family. That’s why I offer personalized pet boarding and professional dog walking services tailored to meet the unique needs of each furry friend. I take a very limited number of animals at one time so that your Furry family member will become a member of our family while they’re here! As a lifelong animal lover, I understand the importance of trust and reliability when it comes to caring for your pets! Whether it’s a cozy staycation while you’re away or a fun-filled walk to keep them active, I treat every pet with the same love and attention I give my own. ** at this time I cannot accept intact male dogs** thank you for your understanding! I work part time, I am home the majority of most days so chances are I will have availability for you! I am flexible with days and times! Last minute plans? No problem! I have a large fenced in 1/2 acre partially wooded dog run. I have multiple sized crates and smaller fenced in areas as well with plenty of space for you pooch!
About: Hi everyone! Our names are Karen and Chad and we’ve always had a love for dogs since childhood. The thought of caring or rescuing a dog has always been top of our minds. When we got married, we adopted a greyhound racer. We had him for 7 years and lost him unfortunately due to cancer. Since we lost him, we’ve wanted to continue helping/caring for dogs and can’t think of a better way then helping others with their fur animals. We know the working world doesn’t always accommodate balancing out caring for our fur friends and work and would love to help with that! Please chose us to care for your fur friends whether it’s a walk or a overnight stay in our home! We will treat them with the utmost love and care! We are available daily as Chad stays at home weekly. Karen is available to help out on weekends. Please let us know how we can help! We have a nice back yard but do not currently have a fence (at this time). We can walk the dogs in our backyard with a leash and or take them to nearby parks. We do have a dog bed and dog water/food bowels with plenty of space in our 2200 sq.ft home.
About: I’ve been around all animals my whole life, My friends and family have always called me an animal whisperer because I’ve never met an animal that didn’t like me. I’m skilled in reading body language and respecting animals so they feel comfortable with me. I’m a customer service manager full time all week but will be available all weekend at all hours of the day and night so you can be free on weekends. I’m respectful of home I come to and if needed to come to mine I have a service animal that is good with all dogs but can be put away if needed.
“Gina and her husband are very nice and accommodating. I did not worry about my little guy while I was at work. They have a beautiful clean home with a large yard. Their 2 ittle dogs are very friendly and play well. I highly recommend whether you are boarding or using as daycare. Thank you so much Gina.”
“Brandon was amazing with our dog Dixie and made everything very easy. With this being our first time outside of family dog sitting he kept us in the loop with everything going on. We will definitely be booking with him again.”
“Maya did a great job with Merlin. Not only did she take good care of him but gave him some much needed play time. She even found some new food for him that he loves. Maya went above and beyond.”
“Amanda, Aaron, and their precious pups are wonderful! ???? Our 12 week old little girly has been socialized with all ages, shapes, and sizes of people, but not with other furry friends! Well, She had a daycare day today! She was nervous and shy at first, but then couldn’t care less about me when I came to pick her up!??♀️She loved playing and hanging out with new friends! Amanda updated me and sent me photos throughout the day! They have their house set up so they can separate the dogs if need be, and she took them out one at a time so as not to have them wrestling around in the wet mud, etc. I appreciate that! ☺️ I can tell Amanda and Aaron love dogs- we are so thankful! ?????”

We also have two cats Domino and Luna to complete our family zoo! We’d love to have new furry friends and visitors to come on our family adventures and to play with.

“What an amazing young lady! Positive, concerned, kind and gentle! Willing to go the extra mile for Murray and us! She listened to us, gave us suggestions…this was our first time leaving Murray with anyone! Keely provided pictures of Murray and asked great questions the entire time she had Mur! Keely agreed to a meet and greet before her time with Murray and it went superbly well. She got down on her knees and talked to Murray. She gave him time to adjust to her and on our designated day Mur walked right up to her and gave her a kiss! It was great! It did our hearts gud! Mur is a senior dog and we are thankful to have found Keely:) She is and will be our go to person from now on!”
About: I’ve had a fur companion all of my life! I’ve successfully raised and trained five dogs from puppies and I have experience with rescue pups who may not feel entirely comfortable in their new environment. I’ve experienced small and large breeds alike, with my current pup being a King Cavalier Spaniel. Goose’s cousins who we see weekly are two Golden retrievers and one rescue mix. I’m able to be flexible or rigid when it comes to your pets schedule, and am knowledgeable in special diets, fresh pet food, administering meds if needed. I have the luxury of working from home and creating my own schedule which makes my days very flexible! I currently can accept pets for boarding, play dates or walks Sunday through Thursday, 9:30am to 10pm. My dog is allowed to be on all furniture and sleep in the bed and your pet would be permitted to as well if that is your preference! Goose and I take several walks a day and love to take day trips to various area dog parks and hiking trails or enjoy a lazy afternoon on the couch.

We live 3 minutes from 2 vet clinics and we use them for our own dogs. We have security cameras in the house with 2 way speakers if we need to step out for any reason. Please let us know about your dogs temperament with other dogs ahead of time. If your dog has special needs or quirks around certain people. We are happy to share our dogs food but would prefer food is delivered with the dog for stays. We are used to dogs that have a tendency to run if given the chance but appreciate heads up so we can be extra attentive.

My routine varies daily and weekly. Weekends and evening are more open but, depending on the day and mommy schedule, I can sometimes be available during the day on week days. Overnight stays can be available for house-sitting if my 14 pound, male dog, Franklin, can accompany me; he is very friendly and attached to me. I will connect with you one-on-one about your pets individual needs and follow their schedule and routine as you identify me to do. I respect your space and guidelines.
About: I’ve spent the past several years working hands-on as a veterinary assistant and dog trainer, and I truly love what I do. In the clinic, I’ve helped care for pets of all ages and temperaments, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for during what can sometimes be stressful visits. As a trainer, I focus on building trust and clear communication between dogs and their owners, using patience and positive reinforcement to create lasting results. Whether I’m assisting in medical care or helping shape better behavior, my goal is always the same—happy, healthy pets and confident, informed owners who feel supported every step of the way. I’m currently working part time and home with my children 4 days a week and when I’m at my part time job I’m only there till 12pm. So I will have lots of time to spoil your fur babies with all the love and attention! I have worked in the veterinary field for over 7 years and currently working as a dog trainer part time your pets will always be properly taken care of and looked after with lots of play time and walks! If boarded in my home if I am not with them I would have them in a crate for rest times if not crate trained we can figure something out always open to help your pets feel the comfort of home away from home!

“Rachel & Dan are amazing! Leaving your fur baby with strangers is a HARD choice, but Rachel sent me updates and photos everyday to ease my heart and mind. I was so thankful to see her everyday. They stayed up to accomadate my late flight home and sent my girl home with the sweetest surprise. I would 100% recommend.”
“Fifth time client and as always, a great experience. Our dogs love Chelsea and her family. Lots of snuggles and playtime and love. She is our go to and #1 choice any time we are headed out of town.”
“10/10 Jamie was AMAZING from booking to pickup! She was gracious through our need to book last minute (which nobody enjoys having to rush to find a dog sitter, so this was greatly appreciated). She took time to ask questions and fill us in on their process of handling a guest dog in their home. Her home is beautiful (I said I wanted to take his place being boarded there lol), it looks like actual doggy heaven. She sent videos and pictures that made our hearts so happy while out of town, and we could visually see how great she treated our little guy (who can be difficult to say the least). They treated our dog as if he were a part of their family in a short period of time and we couldn’t be more grateful to have found her! Oh and a bonus was after we picked our little guy up he behaved SO WELL, like way better than usual…..I think he was missing Jamie, her family, and her dog ❤️ You cannot go wrong with booking with her!”
“Second time my kitty has stayed with Katherine and will most definitely be going back! She gives updates and sends pictures everyday. A wonderful sitter highly recommended!!!!”
“Keely took great care of my dog. She sent me pictures and updates throughout my vacation which kept me at ease since this was my first time boarding. Looking forward to working with her in the future!”
“she was great! Took our dog on 2 walks a day(which he really needs) and updated us on his lack of eating from being in new environment. Jenn cooked him up a meal that he gobbled up. She works full time at home, so she is always there. Has a good size yard with a dog run on a overhead wire (which my dog needs as he will take off after any critter)”
“Amazing! Would highly recommend. Knew my Bear was loved and cared for. Was able to help us with short notice after a my wife and I have been dealing with a tree falling on our house. Very grateful!”
“Maya is an awesome nanny for our kitty. While we were traveling to Yellowstone National Park, Maya kindly helped take care of our little girl—our beloved cat, Meme. She kept us updated with photos and stories of Meme’s daily activities. As a talented writer, Maya beautifully captured their moments together with vivid and heartwarming descriptions. Meme quickly warmed up to Maya and settled in with ease. She’s been eating well—so well, in fact, that she’s noticeably heavier than before! We’re truly grateful for the time and care that Maya and her husband devoted to looking after her. Thanks to their support, we were able to enjoy our trip with complete peace of mind.”
“Ronda is an amazing dog sitter!! She was friendly with us as well as the dog. I felt confident after the play meet because she let our good dog kairi run around in every room and outside. The house was very clean, freshly scented and safe for dogs. We were sent pictures everyday without asking or bothering her. We had no complaints for a whole 9 days on vacation to California. We will always contact her for future dog sitting no matter the duration. We trust her and she’s a good, nice, modern, casual, and sweet person. Easy to talk with and recommend her for sure upon being strangers. Ronda watched our pitbull with confidence with all the true information about Kairi. It worked out. Thank you so much!!”
“Awesome! She was accommodating, pleasant to work with and I felt confidant that my pup was well taken care of. Gina stayed in communication during my time away and was responsive to my texts and questions. I would highly recommend her and would definitely use her again.”
“Amazing! Brandon was super friendly, informative, and helpful throughout my dog’s entire stay. I was a bit nervous since I’ve never boarded my dog before. Brandon definitely put me at ease and sent me several photos daily with updates. My dog had a great vacation there playing with the other dogs. I am very grateful to Brandon for such a positive experience.”
“I can’t recommend Maria enough! She takes amazing care of my fur babies which includes taking them on lots of walks, which they love. She really helped me out when I was in a bind and was able to take my fur baby overnight with very short notice. I am so thankful to have found her!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, so caring for animals has always been something that comes naturally to me. For the past 6 years, I’ve also provided pet sitting for friends and family, giving me experience with pets of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s individual routine and needs. I take pride in providing loving, dependable care and making sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work from home except on Monday’s , which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide regular check-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I’m also available for pet care on both weekdays and weekends, making it easy to work around your schedule. I’m happy to follow each pet’s normal routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they can feel right at home. I have a fully fenced-in yard where pets can safely play, run, and get plenty of exercise. I also have two friendly dogs of my own—a Golden Retriever and a Boxer/German Shepherd mix—who love making new friends. I’m happy to provide plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and cuddles while following each pet’s normal routine and individual needs.
“I don’t think I can thank Jonathan and Tessa enough! I honestly didn’t think Bertha would want to come home when I saw how happy she looked in the yard! I was worried because I have never left her overnight outside of my house, but the minute I dropped her off I knew she was in good hands! If you have a chance to book Tessa and Jonathan you should do it immediately!! Thanks for taking such good care of my girl!!”
“Took our pup in overnight, with a couple hours notice. He came home very happy and well cared for. Her pack was very accepting of Pete so your dogo will have plenty of great company!”
“Jalaina was amazing, the sweetest person, she took wonderful care of my brownie and sent photos for update. Brownie was clean and so happy when I saw her after staying with Jalaina . Her family was so welcoming and warm as-well thank you so much. I would book you over and over again .”
