Pet Sitting in Brainard

“We were so happy with Maddie! She took amazing care of Onyx our black lab and Nia our cat while we were away, sending daily updates with pictures and letting us know how they were doing. Onyx and Nia seemed completely relaxed and happy when we got back, which is the best indication of how well they were treated. Maddie is clearly passionate about animals and we felt completely confident leaving our furry family member in her hands. We will definitely be booking them again for our next trip!”

About: I have had all kinds of different pets, including dogs, cats, hamsters, hermit crabs, guinea pigs, and fish. I have also taken care of horses and saved a wild turtle. I will watch any kind of pet, even snakes and bugs. I have always been an avid animal lover and would love to meet and care for your pets! I am currently working at a grocery store part-time. I will need at least a one week notice so I can make sure I can be there for your pets. I have no other obligations besides making sure your pets are happy! I am willing to do whatever makes your pets most comfortable. I love sitting on the couch and cuddling or playing outside in the yard! I also love going out on walks or for a treat! I can assist in crate training should that be needed. I am very flexible!

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and I currently live with two small dogs that I’ve been taking care of for the last 8 years. I have a lot of experience with both extremely small dogs like Miniature Yorkies as well as large dogs like German Shepards. I think I’m also very good puppies and I would be happy to answer any questions you might have about me. I’m currently a college student with a very flexible schedule so I can take care of your pets at almost all hours of any day. If you need me to check on your pets at 2AM that’s fine with me.😊 I am happy to accommodate for your pets and keep their schedules as normal as possible while you are away. I can take them for their daily walk or continue feeding them at their normal times.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my strong attention to detail, genuine love for animals, and experience with pets of all ages and needs. I have hands-on experience training puppies with basic commands and crate training, as well as providing gentle, attentive care for senior pets who may need medication, extra patience, or mobility support. I’m also highly reliable and communicative I always keep pet parents updated with messages and photos, so they feel connected and reassured while they're away. My calm, friendly approach helps pets feel safe and at ease, whether it’s their first time with a sitter or they need special care. I treat every animal like they’re my own, and that personal connection makes all the difference. Pet care fits into my daily routine as a consistent and rewarding responsibility. Every morning starts with feeding my dog and taking him for a quick walk to get some energy out before the day begins. In the evenings, I usually spend about 30 minutes either going on a longer walk or playing fetch at the park. On weekends, I make time for grooming like brushing his fur or giving him a bath if needed and sometimes schedule vet checkups or pick up new toys or treats. It’s a routine that keeps me grounded, and it’s always nice to end the day with a loyal companion by my side. When caring for pets in either my home or a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and consistent environment. For dogs, I ensure they have regular feeding times, fresh water, daily walks, and playtime to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. I also follow any specific instructions the client provides, such as administering medications or adhering to training routines. If I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s regular schedule to reduce stress from their owner's absence. I clean up after the pet, monitor behavior for signs of illness or anxiety, and send updates (with photos) to the owner for peace of mind. Whether it’s overnight care, walking, or short visits, my goal is to make each pet feel safe and loved while their owner is away.

About: I have had a personal doggy care system for about 6 years. I tend to do a lot of house sitting because I want your animal to feel safe and comfortable in their environment. My business primarily has been through word of mouth but I have taken care of little fur babies from old to young, I also can give meds to any dog, no matter the issues; I’ve worked with epileptic dogs to dogs with heart issues, truly I don’t mind! I’ve worked with anxious dogs/cats to aggressive dogs/cats. I am a dog nanny to my sisters 3 dogs now, they brighten my day, daily! I absolutely love animals and hope to help yours! I work full time from home with a very flexible schedule. I am able to let out/walk your little ones at any and all times of the day. I don’t need much heads up, as long as I can get there, I’m able to stay as long or take them to parks, on car rides, etc. I have a pretty big fenced yard and 3 friendly dogs at home, one small and two medium, all very friendly to keep any fur baby company. I am comfortable house sitting as well, I also can crate if needed. I believe in providing comfort and creating a low stress environment for your baby!
