Dog Sitting Carver

“Our three dogs had a great visit from Lexi! She fed them, let them outside and played with them and sent us great photos and a video. We felt very assured leaving Lexi in charge of our crew and we returned home to three very happy pups! We'll definitely be booking Lexi for future dates. Thank you!”

About: I've grown up with both dogs and cats, so I've been around pets my entire life and have experience with a variety of personalities, energy levels, and behaviors. Caring for animals has always been a part of my daily life, and I've learned how important patience, consistency, and attention are to keeping pets happy and comfortable. I've also pet sat for friends and family on multiple occasions, and they continue to rely on me to care for their pets when they're away. Whether it's feeding, walking, playing, or simply keeping them company, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I also have a dog named Maylo, who has taught me even more about the responsibility and commitment that comes with being a pet owner. I understand how much pets mean to their families, and my goal is always to provide loving, dependable care so owners can have peace of mind while they're away. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule during some days! I do have work and classes during certain parts of the week, but outside of those scheduled commitments, I’m generally available and happy to accommodate your pets’ routine as much as I can. I’ll always communicate my availability clearly beforehand and make sure your pups get plenty of attention, care, and companionship while you’re away! :) I do not offer my home as a stay because I currently have a dog, and he doesn’t get along with other dogs but I’m happy to stay at the owners home! I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved from the moment I arrive to their house, I understand that’s THEIR space and I’m a guest. I take care of them just like I would like my little Maylo (my dog) to be taken care of. I follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions their owner provides. I know that every pet is different, so I take the time to understand their personality and needs. Whether your pet enjoys being active or prefers to cuddle and relax, I'll make sure they receive the care and affection they deserve while you're away.

About: I take very care of my cats and make sure they have a well balanced diet and life. I’ve babysat friends dogs and am very good at following any directions and preferences they give me. Cats and dogs give me so much joy and I always have the patience and love for them. I’m currently working a part-time job and I’m in softball currently, so the most available time I have are Fridays and the weekends at any time your pet will need me. I will be coming to your home since that works best for me, so I will care for you pet just like you would yourself. Any special accommodations you have for me, I will be sure to follow through since it is your home and your pet.

“Alyssa was so great with our kitty Marceline! She responded very quickly when I first reached out, and our kitty was comfortable with her right away. She had great attention to detail and was very pleasant to work with. I could tell from the pictures each day that our kitty was very happy with her! We would definitely use her as a sitter again in the future!”

About: As an IT professional with a flexible hybrid schedule, I offer dedicated, reliable care tailored to your pet's routine. I grew up with animals and currently care for my 16-year-old cat, Vida, giving me extensive experience with senior pet care, routines, and medication needs. Whether your dog needs an energetic midday power walk to burn off steam or gentle, structured neighborhood strolls, I provide attentive care, secure leash handling, and frequent photo updates on every visit. I have a flexible hybrid job that allows for breaks during the day. I don't work weekends, so I have even more flexibility on those days. Safety and communication come first. I always ensure secure harness/collar fits before heading out, avoid on-leash greetings with unfamiliar dogs, keep pets hydrated, and wipe paws upon return. You'll receive detailed Rover cards with walk maps, timestamps, and photos after every visit.

About: I have taken care of dogs and horses and absolutely enjoy making sure they feel safe and loved. Pets bring so much joy and comfort. I hope to do the same for the pets I am watching. I'm currently working part-time, so I am available for more time. My son is off to the Marines, so I can stay at the client's house. This love for pet sitting began when my friends asked me to take care of their animals while they were on. vacation I prefer the pets at the client's house, where they feel more comfortable. Building trust with pets is key; they feel safe and secure while parents are gone. I will communicate with you as well as you see fit when you are gone to ensure you are happy and safe.

About: Pets make life better! They are family. If they behave well, they should be spoiled! I have always had dogs. I grew with up with dogs and now I have my own. I have never owned a cat because my mom is allergic, but I really enjoy them! I care for my friends two cats frequently. I love caring for, playing, and walking animals! I love getting outside to walk. I also love playing fetch and tug of war. I also enjoy playing with feather or ribbon cat toys! I am good with any age animal. They all need love and attention! My dog is 2, so I have been through the puppy stage recently. He has a lot of energy so I know how much exercise dogs need.

“Cassidy is always so helpful and takes great care of my dogs. They clearly love when she’s been over and I trust her to care for them when I can’t.”

“I had a lot of anxiety leaving my older cat home after recently being diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. Vanessa went about and beyond at each visit. She sent pictures and loved one our cats. When we arrived home I could tell the cats were calm and well taken care of. 100% will be re booking with Vanessa. Thank you!! 🙌”

About: I have over two years of hands-on experience providing loving, dependable pet care, including drop-in visits, in-home dog sitting, and dog walking. I’m lucky to have several amazing regular clients and truly enjoy building strong bonds with the pets I care for. One of my absolute favorites is Remy, a playful white Labrador I’ve been trusted to watch for over a year, he always keeps me smiling! I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have four of my own, so caring for pups is second nature to me. I’m passionate about making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles, I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I am currently in school in the mornings and work in the afternoons however I am usually done by 6 giving me the whole night to hang out with your pup! I love being able to give dogs my full attention, whether that means extra playtime, long walks, or just keeping them company and making them feel comfortable and loved. Because I have four pups of my own at home, I do not offer pet sitting in my home. However, I am very comfortable caring for pets in your home, where they can stay in their familiar environment. I’m happy to keep your home tidy, follow your routines, and provide your pups with plenty of companionship, attention, and love while you’re away.

“Emmalee took excellent care of our cats while we were away on a long vacation. She kept us updated with plenty of photos of her playing with them and spending quality time together, which gave us real peace of mind. It was clear our cats were happy and well cared for. We will absolutely be booking her again for our next trip!”

“Jess took excellent care of my two cats on her drop in visits. On top of the food and litterbox, she gave them love and lots of pets! I highly recommend Jess.”

“Paige was a wonderful sitter! She was so kind and communicative, leaving us great updates and pictures from her visits. We didn’t worry about our boys at all! Would definitely recommend Paige😺”

About: I had a family dog growing up, and I have had two of my own dogs as an adult. I currently have a 10 year old goldendoodle who is the best being I know. I also have cared for and taken daily walks with another goldendoodle for a family that I work for. Love getting to know dogs and their personalities. Pets are simply the best! I make it a priority to take our dog to different parks and go for walks and spend lots of time snuggling. I look forward to getting to know your pets, what their needs are, and what makes them happy. I work part time, so I am able to easily fit in time between work hours to care for your dogs routinely. I generally have the most availability in the am. I have dog of my own who gets time outside, walks and play daily. I would be able to get your dog out for walks on a regular routine basis as I know how important this is for them.

About: Experience raising a puppy. I cater to pups of all sizes and energy levels. My dog is not in a crate but we did crate train him I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to work from home most days. I anm available for potty breaks, walks, snuggles, or playing fetch. I have a large, unfenced yard but I do have a long lead we can use if necessary. I can use a crate if your dog is crate trained. I’m familiar to and accommodating of specialty diets. Rico and I love walks and running at the dog park down the road!

“Emma was so great helping us look after our cat! She sent the best photos of him and kept us updated while we were away. Would love to have her watch Simba again!”

Nicole L.

“Desiree completed multiple drop-in visits (2x daily) during a week-long vacation for my two senior cats. Mr. Twix is diabetic and requires insulin injections twice a day. Desiree was happy to stop over ahead of the trip to go over insulin and daily routines. I asked for photo updates and Desiree was happy to share! She graciously cleaned one poo mess and even helped reset the fuse box when the cat fountain stopped working. Twix and Butters were calm and happy when I arrived home. I felt comfortable on my trip knowing the kids were getting love in my absence!”

About: Hello! I'm Tina. I live in Waconia, and I'm looking to care for your dogs, for walks, quiet snuggles, or just a good run around the back yard. I've been lucky to have had 3 dogs in my life, and 20+ years of playtime, laughs, and bonding with my "kids" as I call them. I currently have a 16 year old shih tzu/mix who is my baby. In the past, I've taken care of one of my dogs, who had many health issues, so I'm experienced with senior or special needs animals. I've administered meds (pills), spent many days at the vet, and am very sensitive to ill animals and senior animals who just want to rest or have low key play. I have experience with puppies as well who are looking to just have fun! I'm very responsible and dedicated to my animals, and would be the same with yours. Give me a try! =) Right now my schedule is open availability, so I'll have plenty of time to devote to your animal and their needs. I have availability on weekends as well, but that can change by the week. I have an unfenced yard and one senior little ole lady shih tzu who is extremely low maintenance and very sweet. She has free range of the house, but I do crate her when I'm away from home for periods of time.
