House Sitting in Brunswick

About: I grew up on a farm and have had animals around my whole life. I’m patient, calm, and attentive, and my work with people on the spectrum has helped me understand different personalities, routines, and comfort needs. I love making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m currently available most weekdays when I’m not babysitting my nieces. I spend a lot of weekends in the cities right now, but I’m occasionally available on weekends as well. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, park trips, or watching pets for a few hours at a time. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I pay attention to each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level, whether that means playtime, walks, cuddles, quiet time, or just keeping them company and making them feel loved while their owner is away.

“McKenzie did an amazing job with our pets! We have a young energetic pup and a couple crazy cats and McKenzie did amazing making all of them feel comfortable. The updates she provided made me feel so comfortable while we were away. And the pictures she sent were better than any of the ones I have taken. She also left the house way better than we kept it. 10/10 will definitely be using her again.”

About: I've taken care of dogs for over twenty years. I grew up with dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, and hamsters. After graduating from high school, I managed a dog hotel for three years while going to nursing school. My friends and family have relied on me to feed, care for, play with, walk, and bathe their dogs. I am also a registered nurse with my Master's Degree and work from home. I have a six-year-old, 9lb female chihuahua of my own, and I also foster for Ruff Start Rescue. I work full time from home Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. I am available in the afternoons to care for your pets and on weekends. I travel occasionally, but I will adjust my calendar as needed. I live in town and have a fenced-in yard. I can accommodate as needed and according to you and your dog's preferences. I do not crate my dog at home, but she is dog-friendly.

About: I’ve spent years caring for my own dogs and raising animals, which has taught me patience, responsibility, and an understanding of different personalities and needs. I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. What sets me apart is the genuine bond I build with animals and my dedication to their happiness, whether that means playtime, walks, or simply giving them the attention they deserve. Caring for pets is already a part of my daily routine. Between feeding, walking, playtime, and keeping up with my own dogs, I’m used to giving animals structure and attention every single day. Whether it’s early morning walks or evening walks, pets are always the center of my schedule. In my home, I make sure pets have a safe, comfortable space where they feel welcomed as part of the family. I stick to regular feeding schedules, provide plenty of playtime and walks, and give lots of love and attention. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to follow their routines as closely as possible, whether mealtime, walks, or bedtime, so pets feel secure and stress-free. My goal is to always create consistency, comfort, and trust.

“Novee took good care of my monster babies. Thank you for keeping my booger brains alive and healthy!”

About: I have a lot of experience helping close neighbors as well as my family watching over their animals such as cats,dogs as well as various reptiles! I currently am a stay at home mom and have a ton of time to spend with your dog or cat! We are also home bodies and tend to stay home on the weekends. I currently only have foster dogs from time to time and have a spacious fenced in backyard that dogs really enjoy! Our foster cats/ resident cats are all indoors and have their own space!

“Jessie took GREAT care of our two energetic pups while we were away. We knew they were safe and loved. She also left our home neat and organized: a total pleasure to return to when we got back. Her communication is excellent! Thank you, Jessie!”

About: Hello! I have had experience pet and dog sitting since I was 15. I have taken care of animals ranging from pigeons to bunnies to dogs and cats to horses. I have experience with old and young, as well as experience with animals needing medication. I personally have three cats and a XL dog, so I am comfortable with any size critter. I work at a school so I currently do not have work during the summer. I am available all days. There maybe some days where I am out and about, but I will still be available to check on them during the day and stay with them at night. I will not be available to bring them to my home, as we have a pretty crazy house with extra critters, however I am able to stay in my clients' homes. I can easily adjust to your pet's daily schedule — whether that be daily walks, medication, or scheduled meals. Staying in your home, I am also able to do things such as collect mail, water plants, and just care for your home as well as your pet.

“Leah was reliable and really helped us out watching our dog before the holiday!”

“Always timely and informative during visits. Very easy to talk to, easy to trust. I can count on Tanya to show up and make sure my pup is safe and well cared for. She’s extremely respectful of the space and you can tell she really does enjoy being with the pup. My go to for a sitter!”

About: I grew up around a variety of different animals and adored each and every one of them. From the time I was 10 I was taught how to care for pets of all kinds (from Bunnies to horses). My family took in senior dogs and gave them a home to be loved in for as long as we could. I have also raised 3 well behaved dogs from puppy hood (they do not live with me any longer) I work from home, for myself. Other than appointments for both me and my fur babies I have nothing really going on during the week. I am very flexible and can accommodate almost any temperament and personality your beloved pet may have. If we are in your home, I will want to know what the schedule you follow is so I can try and stick with it. If your pet is staying overnight, I will ask you to bring enough of their food, one or two toy(s) they adore and a comfort item like a blanket they've had for a while so they can be comfortable in my home with me

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 16. In high school, I worked at a dog daycare for 3 years where I was a manager and handled up to 30 dogs on a daily basis. These dogs varied in breed and behavioral characteristics, and it was my responsibility to ensure they were cared for and safe. I followed strict procedures regarding meals, safety, and potty breaks. I’ve also been a go to dog-sitter for friends and family for the past 3 years, staying in their homes taking care of their pets and following the provided instructions they left for me. My tasks as a dog sitter have included feeding at designated times, playing with them, and letting them out regularly. I’m currently between jobs and have a seasonal coaching job (ends in May) so my schedule is very open except from 3-5:15 M-F due to my coaching responsibilities. My flexible schedule allows me to take care of your pups and give them the time they deserve. When taking care of your pups or kitties (for overnights or drop ins), I love being given specific care instructions to ensure that there isn’t a change in their routine. Furthermore, if house sitting, I want to know and abide by your homes rules to be respectful to your space.

“Tiffany was great! She was very attentive to Dexter, taking him for walks and making sure he was fed per his schedule. She was very good at communicating their activities and very respectful of our home. I didn't worry at all while we were gone.”

About: I am coparenting a 90 lb golden retriever and miss him so much when he’s away! He is not fond of new places, so I understand the importance of keeping your pets safe in your home while you are away. I have experience house and dog sitting for my sister and friends and I love walking and snuggling. I would be honored to take care of your little furry children! I work full time in a corporate setting in downtown Minneapolis, but I only go to the office twice a week. I have a fairly flexible schedule and would be available to work partial days from home as well. My typical work hours are 8:30am-5pm. I raised my now 6 year old golden retriever and cat, and am comfortable with all things puppy, kitten, teen, and adult related. I love going for walks and taking dogs to the park if they like to be social. I treat my own pets as my children and would love to dote on your babies in the same way!

“Our pups gave her a hard time during the storms, but Jenna was great! She sent pictures & videos of our pups. This was our first time having a sitter stay in our home & we’d definitely have her back. Thank you again Jenna 😁”

About: I’m home throughout the day so they’ll always have company, supervision, and care. After adventures, I make sure pups are clean with a calm environment. I’ve had beagles my entire life- Milo is a rare calm dog who needs a bestie. I work from home so I’ll have a lot of time for your furbaby! Your dog gets a safe, active, and loving environment with constant supervision and plenty of attention. Your dogs safety and comfort are my top priorities. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I use a secure leash setup in a large shared outdoor space for safe, supervised hangouts.

“Crystal took such wonderful care of my 2 babies (cats) and provided lots of pics and video clips. I liked knowing that my fur kids were in good hands while I was away. Will definitely book again with Crystal and highly recommend her services!”

About: I have five years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals for friends, family, and neighbors. I also grew up around animals, so pet care has always been a natural part of my life. I love making sure each pet feels safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits easily into my day because I’m home and available throughout the day. I enjoy giving pets the time, attention, and care they need to feel happy and comfortable. I make pets feel safe and loved by following their routine, giving them playtime, attention, and keeping their space clean. Whether in my home or theirs, I make sure they’re happy and comfortable.

“We had a wonderful experience with Rebecca during our vacation. She took great care of Kane and gave us peace of mind while we were away. Kane was happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable in her care. We would absolutely book with her again.”

About: I have a passionate and caring personality especially for animals. I'm well trained in meeting the needs of pets and have been pet sitting for family friends and people in my community for about 4 years now. I value patience and giving everyone the love they deserve. I am a part time online college student. I do occasionally gig work around Minneapolis but my schedule is very open on weekends and weekdays. If in a clients home I am flexible to whatever boundaries and guidelines they put in place. In my home we value a quiet and calm environment but both me and my brother are willing to play and make things fun for pets!
