“Great setting on a farm in rural Lake City. Lovely place for Luna to spend a few days running around and exploring :) Communication was frequent and picture updates were fun and appreciated.”

“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!”


About: I have raised puppies and adult dogs for many years, training them and providing the best care possible. I have experience with dogs of all sizes. I am comfortable with medication administration and high anxiety and energy dogs. I currently work full time, however my boyfriend works opposite shift of me so our pets are able to be let out frequently. Evenings are usually open for me as well as most weekends. I have a fenced large yard. I have kennels if needed and am open to using kennels provided. I can administer medication, walk dogs, brush them, and provide overnight care.
“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!!”

“Super stoked Alia could take in Vega. I felt confident that she was in good hands. Definitely would use her next time thru Eau Clair. Thanks Alia! - Gave her a 1st class grooming also!”

“Erica K. was a wonderful choice for boarding Lydia, a terrier mix, over a long weekend. She was kind and patient, and really took the time to get to know our dog and family. She was willing to both pickup and dropoff, which made the whole process so much easier for our vacation. Erica sent frequent pictures and videos and kept us updated to our dog's situation. She was also open about how her pet sitting style was approached in her home and property. In addition, it was quite apparent that the dogs they sat would have plenty of outside exercise, love and attention, as well as freedom to be a dog. Lydia loved romping around in the snow, lying in front of their fire place, and interacting with their dogs. We also learned that our dog is pretty corteous to cats, but very interested. Their four acres of land and stream are a definite amenity to an active dog's lifestyle. Not only do I highly recommend her services, but I will also be a returning customer to both Rover and her pet care. ~DR”

“Donna did great. She sent updates with pictures and was flexible with times for pick up/drop-off. She was able to exercise our dog, give him his oral medications, let him out in the middle of the night when he demanded, and provide lots of cuddles.”


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.

“Shylina is great with our Theo, we can’t imagine having anyone else look out for him when we are away. She addresses our concerns without us even asking. They says “two paws up!”.”


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.

“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!”

“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 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.
About: My husband & I both work during the day so your pet would be alone from approximately 730a-3p. We frequently go for walks after work or play ball in our modest back yard. I grew up with dogs in my home and always had the responsibility of caring for them. I have worked with a variety of breeds and sizes and am comfortable with them all. I am familiar with separation anxiety. I have a high energy young labrador so after work I typically take a long walk or go to the park to play ball. My pup is friendly to other dogs and has no hesitation sharing his toys, food, or humans. I allow dogs on the bed but will follow your house rules to ensure consistency. For drop ins I am available in the early mornings and after 430pm to stop in and care for your pet. I try to be as flexible as possible! I have a cat and dog in my home and they are both up to date on all vaccinations. Colt, is a beautiful lab with the sweetest temper. I have a modest yard with plenty of room for a dog to run but do not have a fence.
“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 😊”

About: i’ve had a dog since i was about 7 or 8, and have had one more while living with my ex bf, in both cases i took care of them by walking, feeding, lots of attention, and playing i currently don’t have a job, and will be free nearly every day. once i do get one, ill still be able to pet sit on the side i will not be able to pet sit in my own home, as i have a pretty reactive dog, but in a clients own home i would be utilizing either their fenced backyard or yard lead, and obviously with constant supervision to prevent any accidents

About: HELLO! I have been taking care of all kinds of dogs from pups to senior pets who have special needs. I have done stuff like this ever since I was in middle school. I am very flexible with my time. I do have a cat allergy but that won’t stop me from that either! I’m always here to help you’re best friend 😊 Im very flexible with my schedule for a couple months! 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 🤣
