“Kristy provided excellent care for our WPG while we were gone on an overnight stay, making an evening and morning check-in that consisted of a walk and feeding. I was sent photos and communication throughout. The entire process was easy and gave us tremendous peace of mind! I will happily reach out to Kristy again in the future!”
“Angie was amazing and so good with our furry kids! First she didn't react to Lilly so Lilly took to Angie right away after. Angie always took pictures and kept me in the loop, even when Bear got into mischief. I never had to worry during our family vacation. And she really spent time with them which kept Bear from destroying something from seperation anxiety by taking them on walks. I'm definitely going to use Angie again when we ever go on a family vacation again. Thank you!!!!!”
“We were so pleased with Emily, she covered every need of our cat Honeybell, she was reliable and dependable, she had great communication with us and outstanding follow up on any questions, issues or concerns. Emily is awesome!!! Thank you!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets for atleast 10 years, for friends and family. I’ve become a pro walker and bather for furry friends. I’ve worked with seniors to puppies. I’ve given animals meds before as well! I’m currently working on my own hours as I please so I’m free for any walks or play time or just some good pets and treats! I have a big home with a big backyard, that isn’t fenced but I do that ties for pups that may need it but I don’t leave dogs unsupervised for potty time or playing fetch in the yard. I also have a kiddie pool for the pups that enjoy it like my lab puppy does! We love to take hikes around the area too so If your pup is up for it so am I! I do have 2 small dog crates for about 10lbs pups, and then I do have a crate for about a 70 lb pup if needed for anything. I also do have a lake property on the range with a dock that is available to use for hot summer days for pups that may be interested in jumping in and swimming!
About: I have 2 Dogs and one cat of my own. One of my dogs is diabetic so she receives two insulin shots a day. This is something I can provide to pets. I am currently working from home and would easily be able to walk dogs or check in on animals at anytime throughout the day. This would fit well. I have two friendly dogs of my own and my yard is fenced in. At other people’s homes I would walk dogs on a hand held leash if the yard was not fenced in.
About: My background in training dogs through agility classes, working with shy and special-needs animals, fostering cats, and managing dogs of all sizes at a daycare makes me uniquely qualified. I’ve also cared for farm animals, including geese, and I’m skilled in pet grooming. My patience, reliability, and ability to adapt to each pet’s unique personality ensure your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for. I have a steady work-life balance, working Monday-Friday from 6 AM to 3 PM. Pet care fits easily into my routine, as I am available for early morning, evening, and weekend visits. On Mondays, I travel to Duluth for agility training, so I can take pet-sitting jobs in that area. I’m also willing to drive within a 100-mile radius of my home to provide care, ensuring flexibility for pet owners who need reliable and loving service. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s. I take the time to understand each pet’s needs, personality, and routine to create a stress-free and comfortable environment. I’m experienced with shy animals and work patiently to help them feel safe. In a client’s home, I respect their space while ensuring their pets receive attentive care, from feeding and playtime to maintaining a clean environment, including litter box upkeep. Whether it’s keeping a routine, providing enrichment, or offering extra care for special needs pets, I always prioritize their well-being.
