About: I’ve been around and taken care of pets since I was a child. I have experience with animals with health issues as well, so that’s no problem! I also volunteered at the Morrison County Humane Society in high school. I’m a college student during the school year and do not have a full time job. I pick up hours as the weeks go on, so pet care is a perfect opportunity to let me be productive while also loving it. I will not care for animals in my home as I live in an apartment complex. I will gladly come to your home and travel within my area.

Elizabeth is wonderful! We recently booked her for the first time, and she was so patient and gentle with our somewhat timid dog. Finley warmed up to her quickly & had the best time! Elizabeth is very professional- great communication and we loved the cute pics of our dog. We highly recommend her!

About: Hi! I’m a caring and reliable pet sitter with a real love for animals. I currently work at The Babinski Foundation, where I’ve learned a lot about taking care of pets with all kinds of personalities, needs, and behaviors. Working there has given me a lot of experience and knowledge about how to keep animals safe, happy, and healthy. As a pet sitter, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I take the time to get to know each one and make sure they feel loved, comfortable, and cared for. What makes me different is how much I truly care about animals and how much I enjoy spending time with them. I always give pets lots of attention, patience, and kindness. I want them to feel at home with me and to know they’re in good hands. As a pet sitter I go above and beyond to provide personalized care for each pet I look after. What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my genuine love and empathy for animals. I treat each pet as if they were my own, showering them with affection, attention, and patience. I strive to create a bind of trust and companionship with every pet, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in my care.

About: I grew up with dogs and love being around them. I have also been a cat sitter multiple times. I have a flexible schedule due to the fact I am a college student. Mid-day walks, potty breaks and feedings fit in perfectly. Monday-Friday are my easiest days. I work every other weekend and a couple times during the week. I have class early during the week but majority end before noon. I love spending time with animals and will complete the cares necessary for each furry friend leaving the environment clean and safe for your animal.

About: Because I believe pets are family, I will treat your animals like mine….like family or children! So excited to meet new friends! Humans are cool too I guess! It will be just me checking in with your pet even though I mention my husband. I have a job where I can set my own schedule, so I’m pretty flexible. I start work at 3 so I have all day to tend to your pet. The latest I will ever be at work is til 8pm. I may be away on weekends for sporting events, but still reach out to see if I will be away all day. We have 3 dogs and a baby and no fenced yard so we would not board anymore animals. But as far as taking care of animals in your home, I will greet them and give them all the loves they are missing. I will tend to their needs, if you have a fenced yard I will play with them outside if not I will play with them inside being careful of surroundings. I will take your dogs on walks or cats if they like it! I will take your pet on a car ride to get them out too if you want. My pets love it!

About: I have had dogs my whole life. I currently have 2 rescue dogs, both neutered ages 3 and 4. I have participated in obedience classes. I am also working on getting my dog training certification. I have worked as a kennel assistant for 2 + years. During this time, I have had the pleasure of working with all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I have also administered medications including insulin. I also have 2 cats and my kids have a guinea pig, rabbit, and bearded dragon. I also volunteer/foster dogs for a local rescue. I work part time at the kennel, so availability does vary depending on the week. Daily my pups get fed twice and let out as often as needed. I have a 6ft privacy fenced yard to keep the pups safe. Including a "safety square" to prevent the pups from escaping one of the gates. As far as your home, I will be able to accommodate whatever your safety measures are for your home

About: i have dog sat for multiple people and love all dogs/ cats. i have experience with puppies and also older dogs. i would prefer to not have the dog be aggressive if possible. i have also taken care of a couple cats and would feel comfortable doing that also! Right now i am working around 30 hours a week but i work during the day so i’ll be able to let them out and i don’t work full 8 hour shifts so they wouldn’t be home alone too long! I will make sure to follow all the instructions you give me while taking care of your pets, because i know they’re your family and i wouldn’t want anything to happen to them.

About: I have had dogs throughout my entire life and have always loved taking care of them and any other animal that came my way. I am excited to meet your furry family members I work from 7-4 but with enough notice it is possible for me to do remote. I have a hour lunch for flexible drop in visits. I have a friendly lab mix to keep your dog(s) company. I have experience with animals before so I can easily get animals into cages, take care of their nutritional and potty needs. I can also bathe and provide other services at owner’s request.

About: I had a dog growing up for several years where I not only took care of, but she was also my friend and companion! Growing up with a dog was a good responsibility and taught me how to care for something else. I’m currently in occupational therapy school and I have a month and a half break where I am looking to earn some extra cash! I would be available on weekdays or weekends. I will create a safe, and trusting environment for your pet while providing tailored care specifically to your own pet. I want to provide a comfortable environment and build rapport with your pet. Meeting up with your pet prior before providing pet care will ensure this safe environment.

About: I have a young puppy myself and a very flexible schedule that allows me to let my dog and yours out as many times a day as needed. My schedule allows for morning play time, nap time during my shift with frequent breaks outside, and afternoons/evenings to play together. I am still working on training with my puppy and would be happy to work with yours as well! I currently work part-time Monday-Thursday from 10am-3pm remotely. My schedule is very flexible and I am typically spend my morning walking my dog and then afternoons playing outside with my dog. I live on 1.1 acre. My dog is on a remote vibrate collar which is how we trained her. She does not leave the yard. We have plenty of trees that could be used for a tie out and leashed walks. I always supervise my dog while outdoors and your dog would never be left unattended outside. Inside we have a gated off area that I use for my home office that your dog could be closely monitored while I work.

About: My house is a great place for dogs to stay in the Brainerd Lakes area, I have plenty of room in the house, and have 13 acres of wooded property for them to enjoy when we go outside! ***Fall 2023 update**** I now have a fenced in backyard to utilize with pups coming over to visit! I have had a dog of my own growing up for 12 years. Currently, though I do not have any dogs. I used to volunteer part-time to train future service puppies for the blind for over 3 years. ( I have worked with 9 or 10 dogs in the Leader Dog for the Blind program) I have a flexible schedule, and I'm always willing to figure out a solid plan with potential people who need a sitter for their awesome furry friends. I am capable of working and looking after dogs with medical needs as well :). I have worked in probation, law enforcement, corrections, and mental health for over 11 years now. I am a very energetic person who enjoys exercising, and enjoy bringing dogs for walks. I have been on Rover for 4 years I enjoy traveling the world in my free time. ***I respond to requests generally within 10 minutes*** I have a pretty flexible schedule so I will do my best to assist with whatever drop off or pick up time you may have :). I now have a fenced in area in my backyard. My driveway is about a 1/4 mile from my house to the road so traffic is not a concern. I can crate if requested.

I respect any boundaries or special training requests others might have for their fur babies.

About: Rised on a hobby farm so grew up with all sorts of animals. My very own puppy came to me when i was 12 years old and have had a fur baby pretty much since. Have had some training in puppy classes and obedience. Have work with Bark Busters of the Twin Cities. Over the last 6 plus years I have joined a pet service company based out of the Twin Cities who specialize in doggy day care, dog walks, pet sitting for vacation clients in their home and also in our home. Pets come first. Working from home gives us the flexibility to care for your pets 24/7. Plenty of exercise, play time and of course scratches and love time. When pets come into our home we treat them as if they are our own. Currently the big back yard is not fenced in, however that will be changing very soon. In the meantime we will be going on more walks and being outside with your pets on a leash. We have one furbaby, and he is definitely a spoiled baby. If for some reason our pets do not get along, we will have a separation for our pets to keep all safe and yet still make sure that your pet feels like they are at their 2nd home. We will customized your home habits as you request. Crated as needed or want by our clients.
