Dog Walking in Anoka

About: I passed the VTNE in 2022 and have had my vet tech license for 3 years now. So, I have been trained in doing blood draws, giving meds, nail trims, and so on. -I have also had a pet my entire life since the age of 4 yrs old and will never live another day without one <3. - I am petsmart dog trainer certified but want to go more into animal behavior I work 8:30-6:15 4 days a week. I am free Wednesdays and weekends. I can do quick potty break or drop in visit from 6-7 am during the days I work which are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday but anytime on the days I’m off. I am trained in CPR trained and have my vet tech license. I like to get all the information on pets knowing their routine, dislikes/likes, etc so that I can give them the best care. I unfortunately live with my in-laws right now so I am unable to board any pets or provide daycare at my house.

“Kevin seem to do a wonderful job. The best part was getting a picture each day of Jamison and he looked very happy. Great piece of mind when I’m out of town.”

“Tamany has been very reliable and punctual which we greatly appreciate! She has been wonderful with our dog who can be a challenge at times and is very competent at her job. We are grateful we found her!”

About: I have been a Rover pet sitter since 2023. I will care for cats, small to medium dogs, and small animals. Cats are my speciality. I am also available for dog-walking and dog mid-day let-out. As for small animals, I have experience with guinea pigs, bunnies, and fish. If I haven't had experience with a type of small animal before, please give me very specific instructions and I will thoroughly research the animal and its care before the booking. In my lifetime, I have lived with five cats and four dogs, was the primary caregiver for two cats and my many fish, and helped to care for the other animals throughout their lifespans. Growing up, I attended three summers of horse camp at Camp Kici Yapi and also had one year of English riding lessons. As a young adult, I volunteered at the Animal Rescue League of New Hampshire. I have experience with administering tablet, liquid, topical, and eye drop medications, and have been vet-trained to give injected medication such as insulin. I also have experience with specialized diets and with various special needs, and have cared for animals while they were having medical issues. If your pet has some degree of aggression issues, please describe it in your message so I can better determine if I am qualified to care for your pet. Please note that Rover may tell you that I am not available on dates when I actually am if another client is pending a Meet and Greet for a booking with any of the same dates, even if there are no overlapping time slots. Pet sitting is now my full-time job. I have an open schedule and am available from 8am-9pm every day of the week. I am studying to become a translator and I have Japanese lessons three days a week in the evening, but the system has me book time slots every week that can vary, and usually I have enough notice from a client to book the lessons around my pet sitting schedule. However, if I am given shorter notice, I may not be able to move around the lesson times and may have to fulfill an evening visit at an altered time on a particular day. When I arrive for drop-in visits, I hold my supply bag in front of me as I enter the door to prevent cats from escaping. For evening visits, I may also leave a light on at the entrance as another measure against an escape. I store all keys in a designated bag and label them when necessary; I avoid opening the key bag inside the car, where keys could fall into difficult-to-reach places in the car. I maintain the cleanliness of the food and water dishes and litter box each day and clean up any accidents, vomit, or hairballs that I find. If I need to administer oral or topical medication to a shy cat, I will need you to close the doors to certain rooms in the house where the cat can get into more difficult hiding places, and may even need to keep the cat isolated to one room. I will handle old, frail animals more delicately, particularly if I need to grab them for a medication.

“Gina went above and beyond while taking care of Hobbes. He wasn't feeling well, and she notified us right away and was willing to do whatever we needed to help het him better. I appreciated how regularly she communicated with us and the sweet pics we received while traveling.”

“Another thing I love about Amber is that she is very responsive. She’s quick to respond about availability and questions. Her rover cards are also detailed which I love and appreciate! Elmo has a blast with her too.”

Violet W.

“Amber was a pleasure to work with. She communicated even minor updates, cared so much that she cleaned up a small excitement piddle on the floor, and other things she noticed as things to be aware of. She was kind enough to also move a delivered package indoors for us. We absolutely look forward to future care with Amber as the need arises.”

“Jessica took the time to come over for a meet and greet. Appreciated her care for the dogs and communication. Thank you Jessica!”

About: I don’t remember a time in my life that I wasn’t caring for pets! I currently have 2 dogs and 1 cat of my own. I have also cared for dogs, cats, and even exotic pets for family and friends away on long trips since I was around 10 years old. I love all animals (even bugs🩷) and I can guarantee I’ll care for your pet like my own! I am a college student home for the summer, so my calendar is free! I keep my schedule updated and I accept bookings almost anytime. I’m flexible! Whatever your pet is used to, I can match. In my own home, I ensure the kitty has food, water, and clean litter box available at all times. We play for 15 minutes a day at minimum, but he’s a very hyper cat so he runs around on his own half the time. For my dogs, I let them outside whenever they ask to be let outside haha. If your dog has a schedule, I’ll follow it. I feed them twice a day and ensure they have water at all times. I play with one of my dogs for about 30 minutes each day, the other one doesn’t like to play (She’s a bit strange…). Whatever your pet needs, I can do! I will do my best to keep their routine as unchanged as possible while you’re away.

“Charlie loves his special walks with Vera! She has been awesome.”

About: I love dogs of all shapes and sizes, grew up with and cared for springer spaniels through college. Can’t have my own pups so I dog sit for family/friends whenever I can. Happy to groom, play, walk with your dog. My friends all know me as an animal lover and I’m first on their list for dog sitting or just to check in on their pup. I have no allergies or aversions, any size dog is great. Available most afternoons, daily I go from Maple Grove to Albertville so any place in between is perfect to stop. I have a soft heart for pets and love them all, your pup will be in great care with me. Thank you for caring for your dog! Thanks! During the school year I can only do weekends. From June to August I have a very flexible schedule and lots of time to entertain and exercise your pup. My rescue dog was incredibly anxious when I got her. She tried to get out of her collar all the time. I had to carry her to the car and go very slow with her to start. I am very experienced easing into a relationship with a reactive dog. I have a fenced in backyard that I’m happy to share if that’s what works best for your dog.

About: I worked at Stone Mountain Pet Lodge from 2022-2024. I also have been volunteering at Midwest Animal Rescue & Services (MARS) since 2016! I have a passion for animals and I am going to college for animal behavior! During one of my semesters at college I had the opportunity to foster a dog who ended up getting adopted at the end of the school year! All that being said, I have lots of experience with all sorts of dogs! I’m will be working part-time for Rover when I am home for college! I will be available during the summer for drop in visits and walks! Safety is always my top priority when it comes to taking care of animals. My goal is to provide quality care to animals while maintaining a trusting relationship with clients!

“David and Amy have been walking Angel four the past several weeks. I've found them to be reliable, enthusiastic, and caring dog walkers, and feel confident that my dog Angel will be safe in their care while I'm at work. They leave detailed Rover cards following each visit that outline the walk taken, as well as a summary of Angel's activities. They also provide fabulous photos taken during each walk - several of which I plan to have framed!”

About: Countless friends and family have asked me to watch their pets while they're out of town especially last minute. I respect and care about each pet, trying to make them as happy and comfortable as possible. I work remotely a few days per week and available on weekends. Schedule can be flexible depending on service. Also tend to be available on holidays. When I visit a client's home, I keep it the same as when I came in. I respect and keep their home clean and try to have the pets as comfortable as possible.

“Margaret is fantastic! She writes amazing notes on the rover card. It makes me feel like I'm there! It is very obvious she loves all the pets she watches!”

Taylor N.

“Thanks for taking such great care of my buddy!”

About: I am just starting as a pet sitter, but have had many pets growing up. We currently have a 4 year old cat, but we have had another cat, a shi tzu, and a Newfoundland while I was growing up. I love dogs and cats and want to earn a bit of extra money doing something I love. I work part time during the week, 10:45-3 Monday through Friday. I love walking or hiking and would walk dogs before or after my shift. I have lots of free time in the evening for play as well. I have one cat that I love dearly. She has been with dogs before and was comfortable with him. We have no dogs currently. In your home I would be able to walk or play with dogs leashed and off leash depending on the environment.

“We have been having Emma be our rover sitter for a good handful of weeks and we love her! Most importantly, Luna, our pup, adores Emma. I would 100% recommend Emma and truly trust her with my pup. So thankful for her and how well she loves our little Luna 💖”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. My friends and family always know they can rely on me to watch their pets and take great care of them. If you have a request for a weekday, please message me first so we can check if it works with my schedule and find a time that’s convenient for both of us. I have a fenced in back yard and a very sweet, playful American bully. I have a kiddie pool set up for swimming in the summer, and lots of toys!
