I couldnt ask for a better person to watch my dogs, the daily updates were outstanding and they obviously were well cared for while we were gone.

Karri was great with our elderly dog while we were gone for a week. She stayed in our home and took care of him like he was her own. She went over and above in taking care of Ben. He has ongoing health issues that can change very quickly and she easily adapted to his needs, gave meds and even completed ear cleanings when needed. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter. We will not hesitate to have Karri stay with Ben again.

Ellie stayed to care of our pup when we had to travel out of town for a couple of days. She reached our place on time, and gave us regular updates about our pup and shared pictures. It was our first time leaving our pup overnight with a dog sitter and Ellie did an excellent job taking care of our pup. We highly recommend her as she is very good with dogs and dependable.

Gabby was incredible! Our older dog and our skittish dog were both so happy with her. The cat didn’t even scold us when we returned like he usually does. We received regular updates and photos throughout the week and when we got home, the house was neat and tidy. We will absolutely ask Gabby back to housesit and watch our “outlaws” again. We can’t possibly recommend her enough!!

Hannah was super great! Very communicative during our weekend trip away. Felt a better peace of mind since it was our first time using the app and a in-home sitter! She took pics every-time she dropped by and when it came to night time also. Very good at telling us how they were doing and went the extra step and took the higher energy dog on walks. I’d definitely recommend her whenever you get the chance! She was quick to respond to my request to take care of youngish puppies! Very grateful and happy! Would request her services again! :)

Mary was great with communication and very flexible with scheduling for our meet and greet and for our trip. She was great with our dog, Buddy, and sent fun pics of him out enjoying life on their walks and all cozy at home! She also took good care of our home while we were away. I would definitely rebook with Mary!

Elizabeth did a great job with Delilah. She sent pictures and Delilah looked very happy in all of them. She also sent us other updates throughout her stay. She was extremely flexible with us. We had to delay our leave day due to our daughter getting sick and she just rolled with it. She also stopped by on the last day to let her out 1 more time since our drive back home is pretty long.

About: I have over two years of hands-on experience providing loving, dependable pet care, including drop-in visits, in-home dog sitting, and dog walking. I’m lucky to have several amazing regular clients and truly enjoy building strong bonds with the pets I care for. One of my absolute favorites is Remy, a playful white Labrador I’ve been trusted to watch for over a year, he always keeps me smiling! I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have four of my own, so caring for pups is second nature to me. I’m passionate about making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles, I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I am currently in school, but I have a very flexible schedule that allows me plenty of time to check in on pups and spend quality time with them. I love being able to give dogs my full attention, whether that means extra playtime, long walks, or just keeping them company and making them feel comfortable and loved. Because I have four pups of my own at home, I do not offer pet sitting in my home. However, I am very comfortable caring for pets in your home, where they can stay in their familiar environment. I’m happy to keep your home tidy, follow your routines, and provide your pups with plenty of companionship, attention, and love while you’re away.

About: Hi, my name is Annalyse and I am 18 years old. I grew up around lots of animals, including dogs, so I have plenty of experience, and I can’t wait to help you and your furry friend!! I can do a variety of services and am willing to do same day services when I am able!! I currently work for the city of Chanhassen as a park camp leader, and pet sitting is just a fun side job!! I am looking forward to pet sitting in my free time, but it is not my main job, however I hope to provide quality care to you and your pets!! All pets need different levels and types of care, but all deserve love. I am willing to do any service except for boarding, as my current home does not allow dogs. I can do house sitting as well as over night stays, however I would request a meetup prior to either of those services to get to know you guys!!
