Dog Sitters in Farmington, MN

Petrina

Petrina stayed with our kitties over an extended weekend and she was great. She was extremely communicative and sent cute photos daily. She took great care of the cats and the house - everything was tidy and the cats were happy when we returned. We would recommend her!

Susan

Susie was absolutely wonderful with our older tuxedo cat, Sambuca. She took amazing care of our home - getting the mail, watering plants and also laundering the sheets and towels before she left. Her communication was excellent, leaving me a nice note when I got home and sending a few pictures of Sambuca while we were away. You can count of Susie to take perfect care of your home and pets. I hope she will stay with us again!

Kalley

Kalley sat for us for a week while we traveled. Our pets seemed well cared for when we returned. Thanks, Kalley!

Tanya

Tanya is a very friendly and organized person. She took great care of our animals and house. She even came out ahead of time to meet up, which was really great. She kept us updated and sent us pictures while we were away. We wouldn't hesitate to have her stay again!

Amy & Todd

Amy and Todd took excellent care of Sydney and our home. They were great to work with and we would gladly welcome them back!

Krista

Krista did a wonderful job taking care of our house and cats while we were away. She is very friendly, communication and scheduling were a breeze. She kept the cats well fed and entertained, sending us photo updates regularly. Thanks Krista!

Martika

Martika & James are the best! I did not worry about our precious fur kids at all on our three week vacation!! Our home & extensive plant collection were also well cared for while we were away. I would not hesitate to reach out to them for help again if we should be so lucky that they would be available. They were very attentive to our hopes & extras.

Anne

Anne was a wonderful communicator, both in the lead up to her visit and during her sit. Anne provided our pup Brody with so much love and care while we were gone and sent us photos throughout her time with us. Anne is a friendly, clean and considerate sitter who we would recommend to anyone looking for a reliable sitter, who is also flexible when things come up. Thanks for being a great human Anne, and for being a wonderful friend to Brody while we were gone!

Meighan & Harry

I highly recommend Meighan and Harry! They are wonderful people.....honest, thoughtful, dependable, and trustworthy. They recently took good care of my home in Arizona for 2 months. They kept in contact and kept me informed before and during my trip. They also went out of their way to make my return home easier by having food prepared, groceries waiting, and even lovely flowers to welcome me back. You will have peace of mind if you are fortunate enough to have them care for your home and/or pets.

Amy & Nate

Amy and Nate were fantastic house and pet sitters! While we were away from home, they communicated with us almost daily about our two cats and what they were doing. They sent us cute pictures of our cats. I know our cats loved them too as they sent us pictures of both cats curled up in our guest bedroom where Amy and Nate stayed. The day they left, they took off all the bedding and left it in our laundry room. Although I don't believe that house cleaning was expected at all, our house was spotless. They have our highest rating as wonderful, caring people.

Mark & Deb

What do you say about the repeat house sitters who are already perfect? We were lucky enough to secure Mark and Deb for a 2 month stay. They have sat for us multiple times before, so there was no second guessing (and a little yip of excitement from me and our kitty) when their offer to sit came through. Mark and Deb are great at communicating, very reliable, and fantastic at pet care as seen by multiple pictures showing Ricky being played with and sitting in their laps (we were a little jealous) while we were away. I think Mark and Deb are true cat lovers. A 2 month sit means real life living, not just a few days or a week. I mean they had to eat and shower, right? We came home to a house that was so neat and clean we couldn't tell they were there except for the notes they left behind. They reached out with questions or concerns, let us know when packages arrived, took out the garbage, did all the asks like plant watering and filling bird feeders outside, and took great care of our little Ricky. If you're lucky enough to get them, go for it. Mark and Deb are always welcome at our house.

Jenna

Jenna and Jefferson (and their adorable baby) were fantastic. Our trip had some glitches and required some last-minute schedule adjustments, and they were gracious and flexible. They asked if we wanted photos while we were away (which we did!) and kept in touch so that we felt confident everything was on track. They let us know when our cats started to warm up to them, which was reassuring. An extra bonus was their experience with garden care, which was a high priority for us--they helped with troubleshooting squirrel damage to some of our outdoor pots and even replaced some flowers that the squirrels ripped out, which was such a sweet and unexpected gesture. They left the house even cleaner than when they arrived. This was our first experience using housesitters of any kind, and Jenna and Jefferson set a high bar.

Faith

Christian and Victoria are great team.  They drove all the way from Hull, Massachusetts  to be their first house sitting in the Pacific NW.  They where good communicators. Sweet and good mannered young adults. Enjoyed getting to know them the first night before we left for our vacation.  They sent pictures of my two ragdoll cats.  The cats seemed happy.  When I returned the house It was perfect and the cat where great.  They took out all the garbage, their bath room/ bed room was spotless.    Everything was spotless. 
If they ever want to come back I would love to have them again.

Robin

Mark was a responsible and easy pet sitter! He  brought his dog for the sit and there was no sign that his dog had even been there when he left. Mark also communicated on all issues of importance and let me know how Frida was doing on a periodic basis. I highly recommend Mark as a sitter.

Sharon

Cassie is a wonderfully warm and easy going person who took fantastic care of our home and our dogs. She is a great communicator and took initiative as well. I would not hesitate to recommend her and hopefully she may still be in Melbourne when we next go away.
