Dog Sitting in Annandale

“Mikayla was awesome! She was so easy to work with and very responsible. I would rebook her in a heartbeat whenever I travel again. She did an amazing job and even managed to take photos of my skittish cats. She kept the litter area impeccable. I recommend her 100%!”

About: While I don’t have official experience, I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life and I would watch my neighbors dogs when they went out of town. I’d love to spend some time with your pets this summer! I’m a recent college grad looking for some short term work for the summer before moving in August for my post-grad job. I’m available to drop in and walk your pets or spend a bit more time with them while you take a break! Happy to stay with your pets all night or just drop by for a walk mid-day! I’ll follow you and your pets lead on how far to go, how long to play, and what to do!

About: I am well-equipped to care for dogs with unique needs, such as anxiety, special diets, and daily medication. Senior dogs in need of special care. I currently have availability Monday-Sunday. I currently work for a salon as an esthetician part time but I am pretty flexible for the most part. My services include playtime, walks, and complimentary treats for your dogs. Medication administration if needed, Exercise is essential in my care for younger aged dogs, as well as dogs that require special diets.

About: I have had a dog since middle school. I had a standard poodle, and now my family has a golden retriever. I have lived with roommates in college with a chocolate lab and a rescue puppy. I am currently in my hometown for the summer months and looking to earn a little money before grad school. I love dogs and have a lot of experience with a multitude of different dogs due to family, roommates, and friends. I love to go on walks and understand the stress it causes owners to be away from home so long without being able to take their pet out to use the bathroom/walk. I would love to help in that regard! I will have respect for your home and dog’s/your safety. I prefer instructions so I can meet all your requests! Obviously there is a lot of trust needed for this type of work and I want to make sure to respect that.

About: I strive to provide the care and professionalism that I need and expect to be provided to my own pets. Dogs are wonderful creatures that deserve proper love and attention integrated into their family life. I have experience with successful training of my own dog's basic obedience skills (sit, stay, heel, eat, touch, shake, etc). Have taken care of many other dogs, reptiles, and fish for people in my life. I am especially interested in helping reactive dogs or dogs with behavioral issues. I work freelance so I set my own schedule for the most part. Completely flexible for clients needs. A few weeks of the year I'm booked for longer gigs but that is easily identifiable up front for potential clients. Care for clients is completely dependent on their needs and comforts. I will always defer to the client for what is needed for them and their environment. Open and honest communication is the foundation for care and comfortability.

About: I have grown up with dogs and many other pets since birth. We used to raise dogs, now we have two medium sized dogs. I love animals and I hope to have a career where I can continue that passion. Just graduated from high school May 2025, and I have a schedule allowing me to be able to continue caring for animals and to continue this passion of mine! I have two medium family dogs and they are very important, special members of the family. I treat every single pet with care and respect.

About: I'm a teacher and an animal lover! I'm great at caring for others. 😄 We have two friendly cats and would love to host some dogs. I'm available most weekends and all summer. I'm available to board your pet most weekends! You can always reach out even if my schedule says not available. Those that have boarded with us love that their pet was clean, relaxed and well cared for. My kids love animals and your pet will be given a lot of attention. We have two cats that we love dearly. Our animals are part of our family. We hope to meet a few nice families that want their pets to get some extra attention in evenings or weekends.

About: I’ve spent years caring for pets for friends and family, including pet sitting in my home, staying in their homes, walking dogs, cleaning kennels, and bathing. I also have three years of hands-on experience working at a doggie daycare and boarding facility, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. This experience has given me strong skills in handling, supervising group play, maintaining safe environments, and understanding dog behavior. No matter the situation, I’m happy to work with your specific needs to make sure your pet is comfortable and well cared for. I truly love caring for animals and enjoy spending time with them outside of my regular work hours. Whether it’s the smallest pup, the biggest dog, or even cats—I love them all! I have plenty of love, attention, and care to give, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’ve had dogs my entire life, so I understand just how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members. As a pet owner myself, I know you want the very best for them—and that’s exactly the level of care I strive to provide. Your pet will be treated like part of the family, receiving all the affection, cuddles, and attention they could ever want.

About: I’ve been around and caring for, all kinds of animals my entire life. Nearly all the animals in my life have been rescued, namingly, cats and dogs coming from all different walks of life. I have experience across the board with all different breeds, ages, needs and disabilities when it comes to both cats and dogs. I love interacting with new dogs (and breeds) and I find it hard not to pet a new kitty! I have experience issuing medications, treats, or dealing with wound care if needed, crating, scheduling for behaviors ie: potty breaks, walks, etc.. I love to hike and walk, so taking your dog (or cat) for a walk is right up my alley, weather permitting per owner preferences. Right now, I am a full-time psychology student and I can work from any location. My two cats are strictly indoors. However, my dogs are crated indoors when in suits (they are large dogs). We live in town, whenever they are taken outdoors, they are taken on a leash and when they are taken for a walk, they are also taken by a leash. Both dogs are seniors and prefer the indoors, so they’re mostly house dogs at this point. We have an upstairs and a downstairs in our home. Since our dogs are getting older, we now have dog beds placed in multiple places, since the stairs are getting difficult. As for the cats, they have multiple cat trees, several toys, multiple cat boxes and more than one eating station throughout the house! They may be pets but they are family!

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for most of my life, from daily walks and play time, to giving meds and cuddles. I treat every pet like my own I currently work two part time jobs so my schedule is very flexible. And I want to stay active and fill up some free time. Let’s find a time that works for both of us! In my home pets are treated like family. They get plenty of love, attention and play time. And I will try to keep your pets routines as close to normal as possible.

About: I have a lifelong passion for caring for animals, always having a beloved pet by my side. With years of experience as the go-to pet sitter in my family and friend group, I take pride in giving animals my full, undivided attention. I genuinely enjoy spending time walking and playing with all types of pets. I am committed to providing reliable and dedicated care for your pets, anytime and anywhere you need me. As a full-time pet sitter, I’m just one message away, ready to meet your needs. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority. I ensure they are well-fed, hydrated, and never miss a potty break. Daily walks and engaging playtime are always part of the care I provide. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine, as it aligns with my passion for animals and my flexible schedule. Whether it's for my own pets or those I care for as a sitter, I dedicate specific times each day to feeding, walking, and playing with them. My focus is on providing loving, personalized care that meets each pet’s unique needs. I maintain the pet’s routine, following specific instructions for feeding, medication, and exercise.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life! I grew up on a large animal farm where we had bison for 20 years. I went to college at msu Mankato for animal science. In 2016 I started working at a boarding kennel and ever since I have found my life passion of working with dogs and cats. I have 4 dogs of my own on a hobby farm. I have two springer spaniels, my rescue dog that is a chow pit bull, and recently got a golden retriever puppy. I have also been grooming dogs professionally since 2018. I know how to do anal glands, haircuts, nail trimming and buffing, ear cleaning, meds, baths, basically the whole works! I am currently available pretty much everyday for drop ins, walks, feeding, meds, and to give love to your fur babies! Even last minute I’m available I offer drop in at your house, I can do over nights if needed, I also can pets to appointments if needed. I do have experience with aggressive dogs as well. I have a fully enclosed 7 foot tall fenced in yard as well

About: I have owned dogs for approximately 20 years. I have raised 3 mini schnauzer’s and a chocolate lab. House sat for a senior chihuahua and bulldozed with a bulldog. I have watched and walked lots of others. I’m working part time so will have lots of time to care and entertain! My hours are very flexible feel free to reach out. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet/pets. I will most likely be going to your home so I’m comfortable with traveling a bit. My Dog Gertie will be joining on walks if that’s suitable. She is a miniature schnauzer.

About: Ive been taking care of animals, and children since a child! I currently own my own cat and a fish i’ve been caring for years now! I recently moved to St.Augusta Minnesota, while attending paramedic school in minneapolis. I just left my two year job for relocation and have a pet of my own. I’m looking to care for you pets as much as possible while I am in school. I’m able to care for your animal however you need, and am open to your own personal standards. I’m happy to do as is needed for your own personal pet needs!

About: I’ve had dogs part of my life since I was young. I’ve rescued, fostered, house/dog sat for friends and family for years. They rescue us too. I work full-time from home, which gives me the flexibility to care for your pup(s) for a day or multiple days, whether they are large, medium, or small. My priority is ensuring your dog feels comfortable in their own home while maintaining their routine—feeding, walks, medications, and all the little things that keep them happy and healthy. When caring for your pets, their safety and well-being are my top priorities. I strive to create a trustworthy, secure environment where they feel comfortable and relaxed. I respect their space and routine, ensuring that they are always safe, whether it’s keeping hazards out of reach, maintaining a calm atmosphere, or sticking to familiar routines.

“Been great working with Raghu so far! He’s been responsive and flexible!”

About: I've never had a dog before but I've always been drawn to them and plan to have one of my own in the future. I have dog sitted for some of my friends in the past and it allowed me to gain experience on caring for a pet without having one I work full time but I am available during the weekdays and weekends as needed. I can also stay overnight depending on the day! As long as it is communicated beforehand :) I don't currently have any pets but when I did, I was creative and quick witted to come up with safe, reliable ways to restrict my pet from going into a place they are not supposed to. For example, when I had a cat I used a very tall room divider to prevent my cat from going where he wasn't supposed to.

About: I love working with dogs. I have sat for a wide range of dogs sizing from a brussels griffen (14-15 lbs) to southern bloodhounds and black labs. Have given basic medication (a probiotic for the southern bloodhound), fed and walked dogs. I have also walked both together, so I am not against having 2 dogs at once. I have also used a couple different forms of restraints, such as gentle leaders, normal neck collars and shock collars while on walks to keep dogs under control as per owners instructions. One of the dogs I sit on a regular basis is an aging almost 10 year old southern bloodhound. I also have taken care of a shiba inu at weeks at a time, giving her longer 3-4 mile walks. My availability tends to lie in afternoons, evenings and some weekend availability as I have a 40 hour a week job. Generally what dog owners will like about my care is when I am given specific instruction, I will follow their instruction word for word, to keep their dog happy and healthy.
