Dog Sitting Burnsville

About: I was a boarding assistant for 2 years. In that time I have gained experience with many different breeds, all with different personalities. I have also been trained in giving medicine to dogs, cats, and even rabbits. I’m currently taking an asynchronous online class, which means I have plenty of time throughout the day to check in on, or care for, your pet. I do have appointments every other week, but that won’t get in the way. Following instructions, especially having a checklist of things that need to be completed, is the best way for me to know the exact care your fluffy friend needs. I can work based on whatever schedule is given to me, as well as leaving room for changes if needed.

“Anne was great! We appreciated her availability last minute and on a holiday. Our dogs can be a lot to handle and she was very loving. Her drop in was very thorough and she gave our pups plenty of time to be out and running around before going back into their kennels. Thanks Anne!”

About: Dogs have been my whole world since I was four years old, and I've been actively caring for them since I was around ten. Now at 25, with over 15 years of hands-on experience, I know what it means to love a pet like family, not just as a pet, but as a real member of your life. I'm a proud fur-parent to Boogie, a rescue pup I adopted at four months old. He's two now, and watching him grow has only deepened how much I care about the life every dog deserves. It's something I think about a lot: our pets are experiencing everything for the very first time, and that's worth honoring. I also volunteer as a temporary foster, which means I'm comfortable meeting animals exactly where they are, whether that's a nervous newcomer or a playful goofball who wants all the attention. I take every walk and drop-in seriously, because I know a mid-day break and a kind, familiar face can make a pet's whole day. My schedule is more flexible than it might look on paper. I work full-time in the office four days a week, typically wrapping up between 3:30 and 4, and I'm always happy to stop by before work, after work, or in between my jobs. I also work part-time some weekday evenings and weekends, but my hours shift week to week, so I'd rather just talk through what works for you and go from there. If you need someone reliable who's willing to figure it out, I'm your person. When you invite me into your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I'd want for my own. I'm tidy, mindful of your space, and will always leave things exactly as I found them. Your pet's routine matters too. I'll follow whatever instructions you leave, from feeding schedules to favorite toys to the walks they're used to. For walks, I keep a close eye on leash behavior and surroundings, and I'll never push a pet past their comfort zone. I know some dogs need a slow warm-up and others are ready to go the second the leash comes out, and I'm happy to meet them wherever they are that day. You can also expect regular updates while I'm with your pet. I'm happy to send a photo, a quick message, whatever gives you peace of mind while you're away. I know handing over a key and trusting someone with your animal is a big deal, and I don't take that lightly.

About: Our family has been dog crazy every since I can remember. I've pet sit since I was a child and have had family dogs my whole life, both big and small, and love the individualness of every breed. I believe it's important to know about each breed I care for as well as each dog's personality and temperament. I am looking forward to doting on yours! I'm an early riser, so your dog's day starts bright and early with me. I work full time, but my schedule has real flexibility in it, which means I'm around for midday potty breaks, playtime, and check-ins rather than being gone for one long stretch. Daily walks are already part of my routine, and I'm lucky to live near a dog park and plenty of green spaces, so there's always somewhere good to explore. Your dog's health and comfort come first with me. I'm experienced with dogs who need daily or as-needed medications and I'm careful about following your instructions exactly as you give them. Walks are always matched to your dog — a senior who prefers a slow stroll gets a slow stroll, and an energetic pup gets to burn off that energy. My home is a safe place where visiting dogs can relax and feel at ease.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have always loved spending time with them. I’m a very active person and enjoy being outside, so I’m more than happy to take dogs on walks, play with them, and make sure they get plenty of exercise. I will meet your dog at their level, whether that means keeping up with a high-energy dog or enjoying some chill relaxation together. I can also help with basic training and reinforce good habits. I’d love the opportunity to care for your dog and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I work full-time as an engineer, but after recently moving to a new state, I’ve been missing having animals around. I decided to join because I’d love to spend time with pets and give them the care and attention they deserve. I’m up early and often up late, and I’m able to check in around lunch during my workday. I’m also available after I get off work at 4 PM, when I can spend more time with your pet, take them for walks, play with them, and give them plenty of attention. On weekends, I’m available all day and can dedicate as much time as needed to caring for your pet. I treat every pet and every home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow your instructions closely, keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible, and make sure doors, gates, and other entry points are secure. I’m attentive to your pet’s behavior and needs, and I’ll always prioritize their safety and comfort. I also treat your home with respect by keeping things clean, being mindful of belongings, and leaving everything just as I found it. Most importantly, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away!

“We absolutely love having Jessica care for our puppy! She is attentive, reliable, always on time, and has great communication. She makes sure Sully gets plenty of playtime, is fed, and receives his medications as needed. We especially appreciate the photo updates and knowing he is in such good hands while we’re away. Most importantly, Sully absolutely loves Jessica! We couldn’t ask for a better sitter and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring and dependable for their pets!”

“Whitney was great. She was quick to respond and we scheduled a meet and great. She let me know more about her and she did great with my pup, Gigi. She sent pics so I knew how things were and I will be using her again in the future!”

About: I have had experience caring for dogs of all ages and breeds. I have a very open and flexible schedule, and absolutely love working with animals and will treat them with the utmost love and care. I’ve just moved to the area from Florida where I was working full time in pet care, so I’m looking to build back up my clientele and do what I love the most which is helping others take care of their pets! I’m in an apartment so I don’t currently offer any boarding services. However, I’m happy to provide exercise and play time with your animals and give them all my love and care!

“Courtney was great & such an enthusiastic visitor to break up the long day for my dogs. I appreciated the great communication she provided about her visit. 😊”

About: I have always loved animals (more than the average person!) and have helped care for my family and friends’ pets for over a decade. I meet pets where they are at, respecting their boundaries and their home environment to make them feel safe and loved. I will treat your pet as if they were my own! My schedule is flexible. Some days I work my full time job mornings and some days I work second shift, so that is something to factor in when considering your pet’s schedule. I am available most weekends for overnight stays, and free for drop ins and overnight stays on weekdays as well. When I care for your pet, I also care for your home. I am very responsible, trustworthy, and mindful of my environment and understand the privilege of being welcomed into a client’s home. I am also a professional cleaner, so I will make sure to leave your home in the very best condition.

“Cassidy came over to feed our dogs and spend some time with them while we were out for the afternoon and night at a wedding. She fed them, let them out, and hung out while they played. Having her come by allowed us to enjoy the evening without worrying about getting home at a specific time.”

About: Between dogs and cats, I've had my own pets for a total of 25 years, but I've always loved animals in general. My dogs lived very long lives and my cats, even though I've only had them for a year, have found a very special place in my heart. From the "I love you" slow blinks, to the Puss in Boots pupils before they start tearing around the house, they're amazing in so many ways. I've been able to learn which cats like more space, which ones just want to be with you all the time, and when they just aren't quite themselves. We've (almost) conquered nail clipping, but not all the way yet. :-) Thankfully I'm self-employed so I make my own hours, which means I can be flexible and adjust things as needed. They give me a good reason to take breaks from work too, so it keeps things balanced. I would be taking care of them in their own homes, and it's important to keep things as familiar for them as possible, so I lean a lot on the instructions the pet parents give me, and follow those, as the pet parents know them better than anyone else. I have to be honest - I tend to talk baby talk to animals, so that comes with the package too. :-) I like sending regular updates to the owners because I know it can be hard leaving them, especially for longer stretches.

“Caitlyn took great care of my senior cat while I was out of town. She provided detailed updates and followed all care instructions. Would highly recommend!”

About: I've had dogs my entire life and currently have two of my own, so I understand that every dog has a unique personality and deserves individualized care. Since I work from home, I'm able to provide plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, and regular potty breaks throughout the day. I love getting to know each dog's routine and personality. Before every stay, I'd like to learn about your dog's favorite activities, toys, treats, sleeping habits, any dislikes or anxieties, and even their favorite spots to be scratched. The more I know, the better I can help them feel comfortable, happy, and right at home. Caring for dogs is truly a passion of mine. I enjoy giving owners peace of mind by knowing their pets are safe, loved, and well cared for while they're away. I understand how difficult it can be to leave your best friend behind, so I'll treat your dog like one of my own and keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay. For the safety and well-being of all pets in my care, I ask that dogs are friendly with other dogs and are current on their vaccinations. My goal is to provide a fun, safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both you and your dog. I am available Monday through Friday for drop-in visits and dog walking. Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable and consistent care throughout the day. I can help with potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding routines, fresh water, and giving your dog the attention and companionship they need while you are away. I enjoy getting to know each dog's personality, favorite activities, and daily routine so I can provide care that feels familiar and comfortable. My goal is to make your time away easier by providing dependable care and keeping you updated so you have peace of mind knowing your dog is happy, safe, and well cared for. The safety and comfort of your pet is my top priority. I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own and take the time to understand their personality, routine, and individual needs. For drop-in visits and walks, I provide dependable, attentive care in your home while respecting your space and following your instructions closely. I make sure your dog is safe, comfortable, and receives the exercise, attention, and companionship they need. I currently have two dogs of my own and understand the importance of a secure and positive environment. I always pay attention to details such as doors and gates being properly closed, keeping pets away from unsafe situations, maintaining feeding and medication routines, and watching for changes in behavior or health. Communication is very important to me. I will provide updates and photos after visits so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy, safe, and receiving loving care while you are away. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners by providing reliable, trustworthy, and compassionate care.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I’ve had dogs and all kinds of small animals since I was very young, and I genuinely can’t imagine life without them. When I’m not spending time with my own pets, I’m usually caring for someone else’s—whether that’s pet sitting for friends and family or working my full-time job caring for horses. I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality, and I’ll care for your pets like they’re my own. After all, I’m here to be your pet’s professional best friend! I’m available every day from 9:00am-8:00pm for drop-ins and walkings. I may be available earlier or later on weekdays and possibly on weekends depending on my schedule. I’m able to feed/water your pet, let them out into a fenced backyard, play with them inside or outside the house, provide minimal grooming, administer medications, and take them on a walk. I also may be able to stop by multiple times a day depending on the time.
