Pet Sitting in Centerville

About: I have loved and owned dogs for the last 30 years. We’ve owned between 2-3 dogs at a time. We fostered many dogs over 10 years which included labs, golden retriever’s, mixed breeds and one St. Bernard. There were also a few we kept!! I love dogs and love taking care of them. I’m looking forward to meeting your pets! I am retired and usually have quite a bit of flexibility around appointments. I know that dogs usually benefit to be out in the morning and fed, out at least by dinner time and at night before bed. And of course have some playtime. I prefer to do house visits up to 3-4 times day. I can come into your home, let your dogs out or take them for short walks, feed them and play with your dog. I can also check your mail if you are gone for several days.

“Alex did an awesome job on short notice for us, checking in on our dog while we were away for a night. She played with him, fed hime, let him out, left detailed notes, and took lots of photos!”

“Yuanqing (Ping Ping) was extraordinary! My cats are quite shy, but she kept me updated on them, and even managed to make friends with them! Really remarkable level of service. I cannot recommend her highly enough. I will be sure to request her services the next time I have to leave town.”

“Kristin was exceptional. She demonstrated great care with my two dogs and I appreciated the pictures she sent along with notes on their well-being. I highly recommend Kristin to anyone seeking top-notch animal care services. Whether for a day or an extended period, she is the ideal choice.”

“Hannah did a great job with our dog! He looked so happy in all the pictures and we were super grateful to have that piece of mind while we were away. Thanks Hannah!”

About: Hi, I’m Elizabeth — a full-time, work-from-home dog mom living in a beautiful, wooded setting with trails right outside our door. Dogs in my care enjoy fresh air, frequent walks, and a calm, loving home environment. I’m outside with the pups multiple times a day — whether it’s structured exercise, supervised playtime, or a slow sniff-and-stroll for our senior friends. We have a sweet, social 2-year-old Standard Poodle who gets along with everyone — from rambunctious puppies to mellow old souls. My husband also works from home, which means your dog will never be left alone and always has an extra set of hands. I have experience with all ages and stages — from crate training curious puppies to providing gentle support for older dogs and administering medications (oral and topical). I follow feeding and care routines to the letter, and I’m always happy to provide updates, pics, or videos so you can relax knowing your pup is safe, happy, and loved. Whether you’re planning a vacation or just need a reliable day-to-day helping hand, I treat every dog like one of my own — with patience, play, and a whole lot of love. I work from home full-time, so I’m with the dogs all day — not just “checking in,” but truly present. We go on multiple walks each day, explore nearby trails, and take plenty of breaks for play, snuggles, and outside time. My own dog thrives with this routine, and I love extending that same level of care to the pets I host. Whether it’s managing medications, reinforcing training, or simply being a calm, consistent presence, pet care is a natural and joyful part of my everyday life. In my home, pets are treated like family. I maintain a calm, structured, and loving environment with plenty of time outdoors I follow your pet’s routines closely: feeding schedules, meds, crate time, and any house rules you use at home. Dogs are never left alone for more than a few hours (both my husband and I work from home), and we keep a close eye on how everyone’s adjusting — especially first-timers, puppies, or older pets who need extra support.

“Reliable, caring Jeffrey goes the extra mile to make sure my fur babies are well taken care of. Thank you for loving my dogs like your own. 😊”

“Rylan was great! She sent multiple pictures each time, was very communicative and quick to respond and made me feel at ease. Would absolutely recommend!”

About: I have been around dogs my entire adult life. We currently have 1 resident dog and have been involved in rescue for more than 10 years. In that time we’ve had over 100 foster dogs- all ages and breeds. I love fostering and provide dog sitting for many of my former fosters. I do work full time, but have a flexible schedule and can work from home at times. I love to walk and be active and will always make time for your pet. I will follow you and your pets schedule to make everyone as comfortable as possible. With so many foster dogs I am very used to adapting to individual needs.

About: I had my first dog when I was 7 years old, I was helping my dad to train my dog. I was responsible for his walks, food, etc. After my first dog experience, I’ve decided that animals make me so happy. I had 8-10 senior/young dogs that I took care of. I also had four cats that I was taking care of. Some birds, fish, turtles, horses… I genuinely love spending time with animals I am currently in college full time, we can always schedule a week ahead to make sure if I have enough time for your dog! Unfortunately I won’t be able to take your dog to my house for nights but I can take them during the day. I have fenced backyard that your animals can have their own space and have fun!

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and am the proud mom of a 4-year-old rescue Ridgeback/Boxer. Being a rescue dog parent has given me hands-on experience with strong, intelligent, and sensitive dogs, and has deepened my understanding of patience, structure, and trust-building. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, and I pay close attention to body language, stress signals, and individual needs. I’ve also completed a dog training course with Brandon McMillan, which strengthened my understanding of clear communication, consistency, and positive, relationship-based training techniques. This helps me reinforce good habits and handle common behavior challenges calmly and confidently while keeping pets safe and comfortable. In addition, I have extensive experience working with seniors, both personally and professionally. I grew up volunteering at the Coon Rapids Senior Center and continue to work closely with seniors in my career. Because of this, I’m especially mindful and sensitive to working with senior citizens in need of services—whether that means slower walks, medication routines, mobility awareness, or simply providing calm, reassuring companionship. Overall, I bring a grounded, compassionate, and highly reliable approach to pet sitting and walking. I value routine, safety, clear communication, and treating every pet as the individual they are—just like family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m my own boss and have flexibility in my schedule. As a gym owner, parent, and dog mom, my days are built around structure, movement, and responsibility, which allows me to reliably accommodate walks, drop-ins, and check-ins throughout the day. I’m able to plan my schedule intentionally, show up on time, follow care instructions closely, and give pets focused, unrushed attention. Pet sitting isn’t something I squeeze in—it fits seamlessly into how I already live and work. I spend my days primarily on the east side of town between Maplewood and Forest Lake, so if you’re in the area just reach out with ideal scheduling and I’m confident we can work it out! Trust, safety, and reliability are central to how I care for pets in my home and on walks. I maintain consistent schedules and routines, approach every animal with calm, kindness, and patience, and stay attentive to comfort, behavior, and surroundings at all times. I’m mindful about home and outdoor safety—locking doors, using appropriate leashes and protective gear when needed, carrying and properly disposing of waste, wiping paws after walks, and keeping spaces clean and secure. I’m aware of environmental factors and always prioritize a pet’s well-being, safety, and sense of ease. You can expect clear communication, timely updates, and respectful care for both your pet and your home. I treat every animal and space with the same responsibility and care I provide for my own family.

About: I’ve taken care of every kind of dog since I was 14. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk and feed their pets. I work and care for children during the day and I would love to share that care for your pets in the evenings or weekends. Clear communication with the pet owner about their pet's specific needs and routines is crucial to ensure continuity of care. I would provide daily updates and pictures of the clients pets if they wish that to be apart of their pets care!

I hope your animal will love me too :)! i always try to care for any pets near me! whenever i’m at a friends or family i will always tend to their pets needs wether it’s dinner time or play time! I always try to make time for pets. I do have another job but I’m trying to lean more towards rover for my love of animals! I usually take the dogs on walks whenever i can and whenever i see they need their energy out, I always feed them on time and have no issue needing to put dogs in crates if needed. I always love playing with dogs and seeing their cute little tail wags, my favorite thing to do is to take funny/cute pics of pets!

“Norah is the best Rover watcher we have ever had!! When she first came over to meet Kingston and Theodore, she brought and took notes throughout the doggy meet and greet. She was so prompt and took pictures of the boys every visit and they were loved and happy!! Would highly recommend to anyone who wants their babies to have a lot of love!!”

About: I offer dependable, loving care with a strong focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and happy in their own routines. What sets me apart from other sitters is my patience, attention to detail, and ability to adapt my care to each pet’s personality and needs. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including playful puppies and senior pets who need extra time, gentle handling, and close monitoring. I’m comfortable reinforcing basic puppy training such as leash walking, crate routines, and positive-reinforcement commands. For senior pets, I pay close attention to mobility, medication schedules, special diets, and any changes in behavior. I pride myself on clear communication and reliability, providing regular updates and photos so pet parents feel confident and at ease while they’re away. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priority, and I care for every animal as if they were my own. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine on Friday afternoons and throughout the weekend. I’m available starting Friday afternoon and fully available on Saturdays and Sundays, allowing me to provide attentive, unrushed care. I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feedings, playtime, and medication needs while keeping pets on their normal schedules. Because this time is dedicated to pet care, I’m able to offer consistent companionship and reliable care through the weekend. Safety, trust, and comfort are always my top priorities, whether pets are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in their own. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs so they feel secure and well cared for. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment. I closely supervise pets, keep doors and outdoor areas secure, separate pets when needed, and remove any potential hazards. I follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any training guidelines provided by pet parents to ensure consistency. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully. I maintain the pet’s normal routine, ensure food and water are fresh, secure doors and gates, and practice safe leash handling during walks. I monitor pets closely for any changes in behavior or health and communicate promptly if anything arises. In both settings, I prioritize clear communication and provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident and at ease while their pets are in my care.

“Really reliable and super helpful”
