“Glen was great with my dog, who needs to have medication twice a day and can't walk very far due to a leg injury. He was also an excellent communicator and very professional! I'm grateful for his services and would definitely recommend him to anyone.”

“Snoopy was crazy about Heidi. It was love at first sight. She took such good care of him like he was her own. I will definitely call on her again. I just wish I could afford it every day. Thank you, Heidi! We really appreciate you. 💜😃🥰”


About: Going on vacation or up to the cabin? Energetic, experienced & caring teacher off for the summer, ready & willing to do cat & dog care & dog walking all from your home. I’m open to other pets, as well. I previously ran a doggy daycare for several years from my former home. I took care of a wide variety of breeds with great reviews. Our family also had our own awesome dog, a golden-lab mix we raised from puppyhood to age 12. My current pet is a sweet & cuddly Nebelung breed cat I’ve had for 5 years. I’m organized, reliable and give gentle and compassionate care to animals of all types. I live in the Minneapolis area. Willing to travel within the metro region. Note: Unfortunately, I cannot take pets into my tiny condominium home. I’m happy to come to you! I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends!
“Ben was absolutely fantastic! He walked our 150lbs Great Dane, Walt while we were out of town. We got detailed notes everyday which put us at ease. We’d gladly have Ben back to walk our dog! (Walt also loved Ben and gave him lots of cuddles & licks!)”

“Jess is fantastic. Having two dogs can be chaotic, but Jess is great at making sure they behave. She's very responsive and keeps me up to date with how everyrhing goes. I would highly recommend her!”
“Iris was fantastic! She was able to help out last minute, even though we had never met before, and she immediately put me at ease. She showed up right on time, took great care of Tussey, and sent plenty of pictures during the walk. It was such a relief knowing Tussey was in good hands. Highly recommend and will definitely book with her again!”

About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my genuine passion for animals combined with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and needs. I specialize in both puppy training and senior dog care, which means I’m not just here to watch over your dog I’m here to support their well-being at every stage of life. With puppies, I focus on positive reinforcement, helping them build confidence, learn basic commands, and feel safe in new environments. With senior dogs, I’m patient and attentive to their comfort, health routines, and any mobility challenges they may have. I also prioritize clear communication with pet parents, keeping you updated with photos, messages, and detailed notes so you always feel connected and reassured while you’re away. Above all, I treat every dog like family—with kindness, respect, and lots of love. I organize my days around making sure each dog in my care gets the attention, activity, and comfort they need—whether that means morning walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or simply quiet companionship. I set aside time every day for exercise, training, and one-on-one interaction to build trust and keep pets happy and mentally stimulated. On a weekly basis, I plan for grooming needs, restocking supplies, and adjusting routines to fit each pet’s personality and preferences. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is always to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where each animal feels comfortable and cared for. In My Home: I maintain a calm and pet-friendly space with plenty of room to play, rest, and explore. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding schedules, walks, medication if needed, and preferred activities. I limit the number of pets I take at once to ensure personalized attention and a peaceful atmosphere. In My Client’s Home: I respect your home as if it were my own and follow your pet’s established routine to keep them as relaxed and happy as possible. I make sure they’re well-fed, exercised, and emotionally cared for. I also keep the space clean, send regular updates, and can handle light home tasks like bringing in mail or watering plants if needed. No matter where I’m caring for your pet, I treat them like family—with patience, love, and reliability.
About: I have had my fair share of pet sitting including my neighbors 4 cats, 2 dogs, hedgehog, lizard, 2 birds , and much more! There isn’t much I can’t handle. I currently have nothing going on during the days until September when I start my doctorate program. So I will be home all day for your pets! I’ve had pets my entire life and know the struggle on leaving your baby with a stranger! I want to provide comfort to both you and your animal while you’re away and do everything I can to make your trips easier. I have had animals my whole life, including a very picky dog who I love dearly. So I’m not a stranger to weird requests to comfort your dog

About: Hi! I provide calm, personalized home-style dog boarding and daycare in Richfield with a fenced backyard, plenty of outdoor time, and a safe, relaxed environment for dogs to feel comfortable and at home. I’ve always enjoyed being around dogs and understand that every dog has different energy levels, routines, and personalities. My goal is to provide a structured and low-stress experience with lots of supervision, outdoor breaks, playtime, walks, and attention throughout the day. I currently have a friendly older dog, Ava, who enjoys a calm environment, so my home is set up with comfort and accessibility in mind for senior dogs as well. I have a doggy door for easy backyard access along with a setup that works well for my older dog with arthritis, helping create a comfortable and low-stress environment indoors and outdoors. My fenced backyard gives dogs room to safely explore, sniff, relax, and play while being supervised. Inside the home, I also keep toys and indoor play areas available for enrichment, engagement, and downtime during the day. I work hybrid and spend a good amount of time at home, which allows me to provide consistent care, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. I enjoy staying active outdoors and making sure dogs get both physical activity and relaxation depending on their individual needs and personalities. Safety and communication are very important to me. I prefer meet-and-greets beforehand to make sure everyone is comfortable and it’s a good fit. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos during your dog’s stay so you can feel comfortable while away. Whether your dog enjoys relaxing, backyard time, walks, indoor play, or simply having a calm home environment while you travel, I’d love to help provide a safe and comfortable stay. I may be able to work from home on boarding days during the week. If not, I have Rover home-visitor visit midday for 1/2 an hour. I would go on multiple walks & have a large fenced backyard. I have a fenced backyard & my pup is extremely friendly & is not aggressive or possessive over toys/treats. I can crate if necessary and allow well behaved pups to roam.

About: I have worked as a Wildlife Rehabilitator, PA/Nanny and Outdoor Educator for 20+ years. I am the person at parks and zoos holding an owl or hawk and teaching about birds of prey. I have had a plethora animal companions throughout my life. I can handle difficult care tasks, like medicating, in ways that minimize stress and promote positive experiences for each animal in my care. I am even hoping to do professional grooming soon! (So far I have experience doing basic grooming and a small subset of tasks, like nail trimming and ear washing.) I have a family of four boys - two human, two furry - and I have learned to thrive in chaos. I am a huge animal nerd and I love going for walks, drawing, reading and videogames in my free time. I am regularly available throughout the day, especially the middle of the day while my youngest is at childcare. I am frequently available for overnights or vacation house-sitting, and I am happy to care for both pets and home tasks as needed. I have several cats of my own in a low key, calm environment. We regularly have them in for wellness checkups, and they are exceptional with my toddler. Ghost is very social and patient, while void is a big, but very sweet “momma’s boy!”

I’m currently working on my permanent makeup body art technician license under an apprenticeship on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Outside of that, I’d love to care for any and all furry friends. I will take care of your furry family member as if they were my own. I will also treat your home with care and respect.
“Carla was fantastic. She came to my hotel while on vacation so Cuervo could get some exercise and attention while I did the tourist thing! She kept me updated with photos and texts and was flexible with scheduling. Highly recommended”

About: I am a huge animal lover, and i've always grown up with pets. I currently have 2 cats, and 1 dog, but I have had a bearded dragon, a hamster, a bird, and lots of fish, so I do have experience with those pets too. I mainly have a lot of experience with cats and dogs, considering I have pets of my own I absolutely love all animals, and treating them more as family than a pet will forever be my motto. I work part time. So my schedule is very open to giving my best care to your pets. I have availability anytime Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. Thursday-Sunday, my availability is open to anytime before 3pm. If necessary, late night times after 9pm Thursday-Sunday, I can also provide my care. I am very flexible and open to communicating with you to fit your schedule, I can always make something work! In my home, we have a fenced in backyard so my dog can run around as much as he wants. I am active with him and we run and walk a lot during the summer. My cats have towers of scratching posts, sprinkled with catnip, and hanging toys. If you and your cat/dog are comfortable, I would love to walk them any time of the day to provide good support to their physical/mental health. Of course treats and water will be provided to ensure a healthy, happy pet!
