Amy did an awesome job with our dogs for a drop in visit on short notice. She was prompt and took our pups on a nice long walk while we were gone for the entire day. I really appreciated Amy’s detailed updates and her friendly personality. Highly recommend Amy for any pet sitting needs! Thank you Amy!

About: I have cared for cats and dogs my whole life. I have also owned lizards, birds, rabbits, and many types of rodents. I am happy to provide drop-in care and walking services as needed. I am a trusted and reliable member of the community. I work a full time job during daytime hours, but I am able to come and go as needed. We will discuss a schedule that works for you! I can walk dogs, care for any animals in your home. I have two cats of my own, so I do not do care in my home, but I am happy to spend time with your precious pets. Experienced care for exotics and birds.

About: Have raised dogs up at my parents farm in Minnesota and fostered puppies, bottle-fed kittens, cats and lonely adult dogs through the GBHS and PAWS Atlanta. I work from home with no travel so my schedule is flexible. I love animals with my whole heart and sometimes I don’t think we deserve all the kindness and love they give us. I give away free belly rubs and you will never have to worry with your best friend in my care. Willing to send as many updates of their care to you as you’d like - I’m a crazy cat Mom! I’ve taken care of older dogs, sick dogs who need medication, high-energy dogs, puppy mill puppies, dogs with anxiety, and cats of all shapes and sizes. I have special experience in caring for cats with asthma, diabetes, chronic kidney disease and IBS. I can pill, give subcutaneous fluids, test for blood sugar, and more. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I work full-time as a copywriter but work from home, so my schedule is flexible! I live in the Grant Park neighborhood and am willing to travel depending on the pet care needs. I have a two-bedroom apartment kept at a comfortable temperature with lots of cat toys, cat beds, cat trees, scratchers and cat treats. When I'm caring at my client's home, I keep it spotless, clean up any messes and make sure it is tidy and cozy when my client returns home.

Angelina was absolutely amazing!! She cares and is super attentive to our pups during the sitting. If there was a mess in the house or if the puppies were just overly excited, she was sure to capture it and and share. There was always an abundance of pictures and an amazing note for each visit. She was awesome and one if not the best Rover we have ever had. I highly recommend her and will be looking at her first to book on our next getaway.

About: We have had the pleasure of owning a small business called "Pet-Inn" and boarded many dogs! Me and my mom took care of others dogs for quite some time and really enjoyed it. This experience helped me become passionate about entrepreneurship as well as working towards a compassionate connection with your pets! I currently have a part-time small business I'm running apart from being a "SAHM" so I will have plenty of time to get to know your beloved pet and get to know them so I can take care of them in the best way I know possible! I have some free time in my schedule, so finding a slot during the week to care for your pet works well for us. I have a now 6-year-old who adores small dogs, cats, and other animals! I am well aware of the responsibilities of pet care, but I want to emphasize that your pet's safety is my top priority.

About: I’ve cared for a variety of pets over the years, including dogs of all ages. I have hands-on experience with puppies who need structure and patience, as well as senior dogs who require extra attention, medication, and a gentle touch. Whether it’s going for long walks, playtime, or just providing comfort and companionship, I genuinely love caring for animals and making sure they feel safe and happy. What sets me apart is my attention to detail and calm, caring nature. I treat every pet like they’re my own, taking time to learn their personality. I’m reliable, communicative, and always go the extra mile to make sure both pets and their owners feel comfortable. I fit pet care into my routine during my free time, usually in the mornings and evenings during the week, and more flexible on weekends. I ensure a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment. I build trust through gentle handling, consistent routines, and lots of affection. I follow specific care instructions and prioritize the pet’s comfort and well-being.

About: My name is Zoe and I am an active young professional looking to start my own pet care business. My wife and I live in a beautiful home in Kasson. We have an energetic, five year old golden retriever that is going through training to become a therapy dog. We also have a three year old Great Dane that is starting the process as well. I started my own pet care business at the age of nine so that I could take care of animals. It blossomed into an amazing job that helped put me through college at the University of Wisconsin- River Falls. This year I will graduate with my Bachelors degree in Communications Studies. I have experience walking all sizes of dogs and love to do fun activities and training. If your pet has any behaviors that you would like to work on such as potty training or problem barking I have experience in training as well. I also can do overnight house sitting and take care of any other pets in the home. Whether your dog is young or old, you can be sure that they will have a great time with me! I’m currently working 8am-4pm Monday through Friday in downtown Rochester, MN. I am available before and after work for any of your pet care needs. I have a large fenced in yard that is perfect for running and playing. I live in a residential neighborhood that also has some walking trails. I am happy to fulfill any requests for pet care in your home too!

About: I have always enjoyed animal sitting and training as a hobby. My wife and I grew up in farm families and have cared for many animals. We have boarded and trained multiple horses, as well as raised calfs and chicks. We have many family members and friends we pet sit for. We work full time in Rochester, but our schedules are flexible enough to reach out and request us to meet up for boarding on weekdays. We are able to meet you for pickup if needed. We are also both home before 7:00am and After 5:00pm. During the weekend our times are generally flexible to fit your needs. We live on 5 acres just outside of Spring Valley Mn. Giving your fur babies plenty of space to run around and play. We met in the Army where I continue to serve in the MN National Guard as a Medic. We currently have two boys that love animals as much as we do. We allow your pets to be uncrated in our home and are more than willing to crate them during the day if that’s what you desire.
