Personalized care for your dog or cat - Bruce

“Alexis was very flexible, accommodating, and communicative. We appreciated her willingness to watch our fur babies at a late notice and work around our schedule. Charlie and Snickers were well taken care of.”

“Our Dolly got the best care with Lindsay and Kevin! Their dog, Benny was wonderful too. If we need care in the future, we will definitely reach out to them first.”

About: I’ve had many pets and animals. I have also dog sat quite a bit in home for 5 dogs at a time. I am very good with animals and very patient. I am a student at South Dakota State University. My schedule makes it so I can get back home every few hours so I can check up on things and let them out. I have a very flexible schedule. My roommate has a little male dachshund. My yard doesn't have a fence because I live in an apartment. I do have a sliding glass door that leads straight out to the grass because I am on the first floor. I am very flexible about how I care for pets, so I can do it however you'd like.

“Alexa and her roommate were amazing!! They kept great contact and had such a good time with my pup, highly recommend and I will be using them again in the future!”

About: I have years of experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and horses. As an Animal Science major on the Pre-Veterinary track, I’ve gained valuable hands-on experience through shadowing and internships at veterinary clinics, learning to handle animals safely and confidently. In addition to my academic and professional background, I’ve been caring for pets belonging to neighbors, friends, and family for many years, from walking energetic dogs to feeding cats and small animals. I’m comfortable working with puppies, senior pets, and those with unique personalities or special needs, and I always provide patient, compassionate, and individualized care for every pet I meet. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine! Although I have classes during the day as an Animal Science major on the Pre-Veterinary track, I have several breaks between classes that give me time to stop by for walks or drop-in visits. I love spending that time with animals—it’s a great way to take a break from studying and do something meaningful. I’m also available most mornings, evenings, and weekends, so I can provide flexible care that fits your pet’s routine and ensures they’re always well looked after. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I always prioritize safety, comfort, and trust. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions so they feel secure and cared for while you’re away. I make sure doors and gates are properly closed, keep walk routes safe and familiar, and always use leashes and harnesses appropriately. During drop-in visits, I focus on maintaining a calm, positive environment—providing fresh water, feeding according to your schedule, cleaning up as needed, and giving plenty of playtime or cuddles. My goal is to ensure every pet feels happy, loved, and stress free until you return.

“Chloe was perfect. Always exactly on time, handled medications well, and the cats loved her. Will be booking with her again every time we need if she's available.”

About: Growing up we’ve always had dogs of all ages, so I am skilled at caring for both puppies and senior dogs. I have also had experience taking care of neighbors’ dogs as well while they were away. Currently I am a cat mom, so not only am I capable of caring for cats, but I also have a deep understanding of the love, worry, and responsibility that pet owners experience. All of this being said, I can assure you that your pets will be in good hands when I am around! I currently have a part time internship with a flexible schedule, so I am well equipped to tend to your pets needs. However, I am unavailable most weekends due to family caregiving duties out of town. Since I am a cat mom, I’m not entirely comfortable allowing other animals in my home. However, I am more than willing to go to clients’ homes to feed, walk, let outside, give medicine, cuddle, or play with pets.

About: I’ve taken care of my dogs since I was little. I have watched my neighbors cat making sure the litter box is cleaned and she was feed. I have done that with another cat as well as chicks. I have also house sit / watch a Great Dane before who had separation anxiety made sure him and his cat friends were feed and taken care of. I work part time and will be able to provide all the care, live and attention needed for your pets care wether it’s walks check ins or house sittings. I will always keep the house as found when I am checking in on the pets as well as insuring if any messes by and animal or me happen while I’m around it will be cleaned.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was young both domestic and street dogs. My neighbors, and family have relied on me to walk, feed their pets. I go above because I love spending time with them as they are our extended family. I am currently working from home, with flexible work schedule. I can be contacted last minute for dog or cat sitting or walking. I am just a phone call away: My apartment is clean and spacious. They will be allowed to run free and walk regularly with love and care. Always available as needed. J

“Julie is great. Good communication.”

About: I worked at a doggy daycare for 2 years, playing with them and learning all different kinds of body language! I also dog sit for my friends dogs all the time! I love to work with dogs and build that special bond, any size and age!! I currently have class from 8:25am - 9:45am and 8:25am - 12:00pm every other day! I play softball so I do have practice at 5:00pm everyday besides weekends but it won’t be for much longer! I am available any time between those times and will always make sure to find a way to care for your animals!! I have an unfenced yard but will make sure potty breaks and outside play are carefully watched over. I have one very friendly dog and one cat that doesn’t really care for any animals attention!

About: I have volunteered at a fox rescue, wildlife rehabilitation center, and the Minnesota zoo, so I have a ton of experience with many different types of animals. I have always had a dog in my house. My parents currently have 3 dogs and two cats while I have one dog and one cat. I can work with any kind of animal big or small! I have a husky and a German short haired pointer, so I know how to walk, or take care of, a more energetic dog. On the other hand I also have a French bulldog so I also know how to care them smaller, less active dogs. I have dog sat many times before in the past and I have never had any complaints. I will always put your dog first! I am currently working as a CNA at a hospital part time, so I have some time on my days off or after work to help walk or take care your pets! I have a very friendly dog who can play with any type of dog whether they are smaller than her or bigger. I can travel to your house and make sure your dog is well taken care of and walked.

About: I have lived on a farm my whole life therefore I am very familiar with dogs! I have worked at a vet clinic before so I am comfortable with different breeds:) I recently had a baby girl and I would love to stay home with her as much as possible! So in order to do so… I’d love to get active again and take your dogs on walks and/or get out of the house to drop in and visit your pets! Living on a farm has never required me to walk my dogs but I feel that I am responsible and trustworthy enough to walk your dog(s) safely! I know how important your pets are to you and I will do everything to keep them safe and healthy!

About: Hi, I’m Allie! With over 2 years of hands-on experience working at a dog kennel, I know what it takes to keep pups happy, healthy, and safe. I work from home most of the week, so your dog will get plenty of attention throughout the day—not just quick check-ins. I have a secure fenced-in backyard for playtime and exercise, and two friendly dogs of my own who love making new friends. If your pup enjoys socializing, they’ll have built-in playmates and lots of fun! Whether it’s walks, snuggles, or just a calm environment, I treat every dog like family. I’m here to give your pet the same love and care I give my own. I work from home most of the week, which means I’m available throughout the day for potty breaks, play sessions, and plenty of attention. My two dogs already have a routine, so adding another pup fits right in with walks, feeding times, and backyard play. In My Home: I provide a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of attention throughout the day since I work from home. Dogs enjoy supervised play in my secure fenced backyard, daily walks, and lots of snuggles. I follow each pet’s routine for feeding, medications, and special care instructions to keep them happy and stress-free. My two friendly dogs love having playmates, so social pups will have built-in companionship. In Your Home: If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I make sure to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. I’ll provide fresh food and water, walks, playtime, and any special care they need. I treat your home with respect and keep everything tidy while ensuring your pet feels safe and loved. My kennel experience means I’m comfortable handling different temperaments and can adapt to your pet’s unique needs.

“Izabella is so patient and great with our dogs! Highly recommend!”
