Highly-rated overnight sitters - Nelson
“Jess did a great job providing care to my two pups, Joy and Jazzy. She was flexible with their needs and kept me updated with pictures. Thank you, Jess! Aly, Joy and Jazzy ?”
“Mike took wonderful care of my senior Boston Terrier for 12 days while I was on vacation. The daily photos and updates gave me great peace of mind and reassured me that my dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I would absolutely book with Mike again and highly recommend him to others. Thank you again, Mike, for taking such great care of my pup!”
“Destiny took the BEST care of our pup Ronin. He can be a lot to handle but she gave him so much exercise, he came home to us exhausted. I could tell she really cared about giving him a great experience. I would highly recommend.”
“Highly, highly recommend Alia! This is the first time I used Rover, and I’m super happy with my experience! I had to go out of state for a few days and Alia watched my pup who was sad he couldn’t come with me. He didn’t want to eat and so she hand fed him and kept in touch with me the whole time. I don’t know of many people who would be willing to feed a dog one piece of dog food at a time. So happy for her caring heart! She got him eating again with other foods she asked for permission to feed him. Very happy with her service! Will definitely use her services again when I need to!”
“Elizabeth was wonderful and very accommodating! If we ever are in Red Wing and need boarding we will definitely call Elizabeth! She is a great communicator and sent pictures of our Buster and Teddy!!”
“Erica did a wonderful job taking care of Lily. I received updates, questions, pictures, videos, and texts about cute & funny things she did. I could tell Erica was caring towards Lily and enjoyed being with her. I will definitely call on her again”
“I had a great experience leaving my 2 dogs with Donna. One of my dogs is older and anxious but she took excellent care of him. She has a big yard with plenty of room for the dogs to run and get exercise. I loved that she sent pictures and updates every few days while I was gone. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
About: We are a family that loves animals! The kids are very hands-on with our animals including feeding and walking. Our two dogs love other dogs and are very social. We have 20 acres for the animals to take walks and get energy out. My husband and I are both teachers so we have two different schedules depending on the time of year. In the summer, we are often home and are often outside with our pets. During the school year, we are gone from 7-4 for work. We have 20 acres of land that we like to take walks on including trails through the woods. We take our own dogs for walks every morning and often in the afternoon. You will often find us outside with our animals doing chores, playing, or hanging out.
“Samantha was fabulous!!! She sent me photos of Quincy so I was confident and not worried at all. She took great care of my Quincy!!! He needs eye drops twice a day and she was fine with that too!! I would use Samantha again for sure!!!”

“Michelle regularly does check ins and has done a couple overnights for my pup. She arrives on time, takes great care of my dog, communicates, follow instructions, and sends lots of pics. She is incredibly nice and attentive to my pup and also this nervous dog mom lol. I am very selective in who let care for my gentle giant; I trust Michelle completely and know my baby is in amazing hands. She treats my dog like one of her own, his schedule is followed, and he gets to relax at home with lots of love while I am a way. I’d give more than 5 stars if I could! We are grateful for her at our house!”
About: Hi there! My name is Savannah, and I recently moved to the area! I grew up around dogs/cats of all kinds my whole life and have previous experience with dog sitting for friends while they were away on trips. I’ve also volunteered at my local animal shelter, where I spent time caring for and walking both dogs and cats. You don’t need to worry about traveling, as I have my own vehicle to travel. Because I work part time at a clinic, I’m available only afternoons and nights during the week. However, I'm available all day during the weekends. If you need a sitter, I would be unavailable to take them to my own house, but can stop in/stay at your place. Caring for an pet greatly depends on the pet themselves and the owner's desires. I love to play and be active with the animals if allowed. If a pet is older and doesn't like to be active for long, I enjoy just spending the quality time so they aren't lonely while their owner is away. I also always check in with the client about their pet's basic needs, such as how much they are fed and how often, how often they are let out, if there is any needs for any disabilities, etc.
“Samantha was great with our high needs/energetic kitty. She sent updates and videos and was very responsive. I hope she liked Bowie as much as he liked her so we can book her again ?”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Nelson
“Highly recommend Mike—he was incredibly easy to work with, highly responsive, and flexible. He offered up a meet/greet in advance which was incredibly helpful. My pup Taco was comfortable with him right away—he is definitely a dog lover!”
“Jess was wonderful, very easy to work with and very responsive to messages! Marley seemed to have a great time and we loved getting picture updates throughout her stay!! I would highly recommend Jess and would book her again!”
About: I have raised a french bulldog since 8 weeks old. If you are familiar with dogs, these are some of the most stubborn, and specialized breeds out there. She is now a healthy 7 year old, who loves to chew on everything, play fetch and get treats! My experience raising her will help me take care of your furry friend. In addition to that, I have cared for many dogs small to large in the setting of dog walking, house sitting and boarding. My dog is my entire world so I know how important pets are to the family. I can ensure you that your animals will get the highest level of care and love while at my home. I love to send updates with pictures throughout the day! I’m a traveling healthcare worker currently located in Boulder, CO. My husband travels with me and works from home 24/7 so someone will always be with your pup! I’m available Monday-Sunday. Would love to show your animals some love! My husband and I love doggies so we will be giving LOTS of love and they will be interacting with my frenchie, most of the time. I have a spacious apartment with access to many trails nearby. The complex also has a fenced in dog park.
About: I have been a pet sitter for many years. Also, I have always had a dog and cat of my own since I was a young child. I will treat your pet as if it was my own. I feel it's important that animals get exercise and will take your dog for walks and make sure they are comfortable and happy. Your pet will get lots of love in my home!! I work from home and can attend to them anytime. I will walk them as I do for my own dogs. They will get to play outside in a large wooded area. I live out in the country on 8 acres. You pet will be in paradise! Your pet will sleep in my home. My other dogs are friendly. They are used to having other dogs stay with us. I can also care for your pet in your home.
“This was the first time that we have left our puppies (9 months and 9 weeks). Erica and family treated them so well and sent pictures and videos. Thanks so much for taking such good care of our babies 😊”

I can do early mornings to late nights. I’m always able to help with anything! I’m very detail oriented and need straightforward instructions in order to properly care for a pet. The more straightforward the instructions the better! I treat any pet as if they were my own. Maybe a chance to spoil with my special frozen pet friendly watermelon slush for the hot summer days? Or a little trip to get a pup cup? My dogs are spoiled and I miss them so much so this would be a win-win for the both of us 🤣
