Dog Sitting in Arden Hills

“Olivia continues to be such a great pet caretaker for our family!! She's communicative, reliable, and so so kind. She's done such a great job with our overly needy pets, and they really enjoy her company and care. Truly grateful we've found her to help with our furry critters. She always does an incredible job!”

About: I have been obsessed with dogs of all kinds my entire life. I had a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Riley when I was a child. Once I was out on my own, I got a Long-Haired Miniature Dachshund, Kirby, that just passed away last March after 14 years of being by absolute Best Friend. I have been a pet sitter for friends and family and absolutely love it. I have tons of Love to give and your dog deserves all of the care and attention you would give them even if you have to be away. I would love it if you trusted me to care for your best friend. I really miss my Best friend Kirby. I live in a dog friendly apartment with a fenced dog park behind the building. My job is located next door to my apartment complex. I am able to walk home to check on, let out, and walk a dog I am sitting. I work Monday through Friday from 6am to 2pm as a Medical Assistant for over 10 years. I am very active and love taking walks. There are many trails in my area that I am very familiar with and look forward to exploring with your dog. I have a Fenced Dog Park at my apartment complex. I am located near many parks and trails to take walks and explore. I have no problem with dogs on my couch or bed. I love snuggling and petting dogs of all breeds and cannot wait to make some new dog friends.

“Tonka Loves Natalie and gets so excited when she comes over. They have a special connection. Thank you so much for watching Tonda. So much appreciated. have good day.”

About: I have been grooming dogs and cats professionally for around 20 years. If you need any quick grooming services (nail trim, ear cleaning, bang trim, etc) let me know! I am very good with dogs that are a little more unpredictable. I am a dog and cat groomer. I make my own schedule and can change it around based on any job I may get. If it is mid-day I would need some notice so I can adjust my schedule. I am not able to do any pet sitting because I have 3 dogs at home. For drop ins I could offer some quick grooming services (nail trims, ear cleaning, tooth brushing, bang trim, etc). Dog walking 15 minutes each walk (feel free to add more time!)

“Our baby boy boxer looks forward to seeing Carolina everyday. We know it because he sits and waits at the back door for her on the weekends and pouts when she doesn't come. Could not recommend her more highly and so appreciate her and the care and attention she gives to our little guy.”

“Sarah came through for us again by doing a 1 hour drop in visit to feed, play with the dogs and let them relieve themselves in the yard. We are so lucky to have her on our team! Also her pictures are always better than the ones I take myself. Thank you!”

About: I have experience with dogs of all ages and all sizes, including puppies and seniors. I have done medicine administration for dogs, fed, walked, played, and cared for dogs as long as I remember. I currently work a part time day job in Minneapolis, I do make my own hours at my job. When I’m not at work I am a single mom, and my daughter is 10 and we are very flexible with time I will accommodate to anything you request for your pet, I will give daily updates and pictures for every visit and will always follow the rules you have set for your home and pet.

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, hamsters, and rabbits as long as I can remember. As a kid I was the go-to pet sitter in my family and always loved the opportunity to spend time with more animals. As an adult, I've devoted much of my time to making sure my own fur babies are happy, healthy, and very loved. I'm currently taking a break from working to focus on my family and health, so I'm home every day spending time with my own pets. On the weekends, we take day trips to local walking and hiking spots as well as taking the camper up north when we can. The backyard is fully fenced in with 6-foot wood privacy panels. My two dogs love to play with other pups and the cats are incredibly tolerant of puppy-affection. I'm very contentious of safety precautions including toxins, managing flight-risk dogs, and ensuring all animal interactions are positive.

About: I love dogs and have had a dog most of my life, growing up and as an adult! I grew up with a smaller dog (Shit Zhu). Currently we have one female Labradoodle; we lost our 15 y.o lab mix in fall of 2025 so Daisy loves having friends to come over to stay! We are an active family and spend a lot of time outside. I have 2 teenage kids age 15 and 17. They are also dog lovers and are very helpful with pet care. If needed, the kids can give your pet space too. I have good awareness of pet behaviors, can read your dog’s comfort level and can provide space as needed. We would love to host your dog at a nurturing and calm environment with plenty of walks! I currently work full time daytime hours in healthcare. I have 2 kids who are around before and after school most days to visit with dogs and let them out. I own a home with a tie out for bathroom breaks. Dogs will also get regular walks and playtime in the home with my 2 friendly dogs and my active family! I only take one Rover guest at a time but if you have 2 dogs in your family that both need care, please ask. Exceptions may be made.

“Went o Hawaii for a weeks and knew kiwi would be well-cared for! Great communication and pics! Will definitely use Allisandra again!”

“Sonia was AMAZING! Our cats are usually a little scared of new people but after the second visit, they both came out to get pets from her. Sonia was very communicative, kind, and really loves animals. I recommend her to any cat owners, and I will definitely use her services again. 10/10”

“Shawntil was great. She followed my cat's care instructions, she was quick to respond, wrote updates, and posted very cute pictures daily. I'd trust Shawntil to care for my cat again. I would recommend her if you're looking for drop-in cat visits.”

About: I have had animals in my household my whole life. I have had both cats and dogs since I was a young child, so I know the love and care that goes into providing a great environment for your furry friend! I am very patient and understanding and will give unconditional love to any cat or dog! I live in a nice neighborhood so I would like to take dogs for walks multiple times a day or play in my big backyard with them! I am a teacher in White Bear, and I would be able to take your dog for a walk before and after school to make sure they are able to get their energy out! I currently do not have any other pets in my home so all of my care an attention will go into caring for your pet. My apartment has a big back yard for dogs to run around and play in, and a quiet neighborhood to go for walks. I am also close to many parks where I could bring a dog to play or walk!

About: I have experience with pet sitting in my own home and other people’s homes. I grew up with animals all around me and want to provide your animals with care and love. My passion for animals is what drives me to this business! I can promise you, your animals will be well taken care of, get a lot of cuddles and attention as well as exercise and lots of play time. I’m creative in ways other people may not be and have knowledge about different kinds of animals. I’m passionate about dogs and know they are apart of the family. My dad and sister have 6 dogs combined and I love each of them like my own. Pets are family, that’s exactly how they should be treated!

“Lucia took excellent care of our two cats for the weekend, including medication administration. Even our shy cat felt comfortable with her, which is a big deal!”

“Thank you so much! Alicia took wonderful care of my cat over the holidays. She made sure he got all the love he needs and was so helpful communicating. 100 stars out of 10. :-)”

About: I am an experienced home sitter with the ability to handle daily needs and emergencies competently, who is at the top of anyone's list when asked who they most associate with animal love and care. I pride myself on connecting with pets on their level while following pet owner requests with exact detail. Don't be shy about asking for your own expectations of what care would look like - all of us have quirks or different ways of treating our pets and most pets have some behavior issues. The only animals that I will not accept are those which require above-average exercise, such as jogging or biking. I am extremely respectful of privacy and my only interest is getting to know your pet(s) and keeping them safe, happy and satisfied. My schedule is flexible and I work from home so your fur babies would not be crated/left alone for more than a couple of hours at a time when necessary. 'Leave it better than you found it' is my general motto. While dogs are my main love, I am happy to sit for cats, fish, turtles, birds, hamsters, reptiles etc. as well. Let's connect - I can't wait to meet your pets and make sure we're a match. My rates are a reflection of my ability and availability to care for your pets nearly 24/7. I feel that this arrangement is more stabilizing for pets who may otherwise feel anxious about being without their humans. If you have the rare, truly low-maintenance, happy go lucky pet situation, 😊 let's talk about it. Perhaps we can work something out. Whether your pets run the home or you run the pets (and everywhere in between), I will treat your pets how YOU want them to be taken care of. I'm happy to continue whatever training methods you use while you're away or lay on the couch with them "all day," if that is what your pet is used to. I accept and discount multiple-pet homes, especially if there is a fenced in yard or they already walk well on a leash. Your animals will be well loved and cared for!

About: Originally from central Wisconsin, I have grown up and take care of animals my entire life. From minature yorkies to rottweilers (and even ferrets), I have owned and cared for animals of all sizes and energy levels. Since moving to Minneapolis for college, I’ve really missed having dogs and pets in my life. Being around animals is therapeutic for me and can completely turn around a bad day. Honestly, I’m not doing this just for extra cash — I miss being around pets and love spending time with them, playing with them, and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for. I can't wait to meet your furry friends - thank you for your trust! I’m a recent college graduate with a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to care for your pets. I also work remotely, which allows me to be responsive, and flexible when it comes to finding times that work best for you and your pet’s needs. I have a fenced-in backyard with plenty of space for pets of all sizes to play and enjoy being outside. I also live in a spacious home, so your pets will have lots of room to feel comfortable, relaxed, and at home.

“Thanks so much for taking care of Mr. Skittles!”
