Pet Sitting Central

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life: dogs, cats, hamsters, snakes, fish, turtles, you name it. I also work from home so your pet can get steady company and attention during the day, not just a quick in-and-out visit. Happy to water your plants during drop-ins too, so everything’s thriving when you get back. Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me for years to feed, check in on, and snuggle their pets when they’re away, and I take that trust seriously. When a friend’s cat needed an emergency vet visit while they were overseas, I was there to handle it and keep them updated every step of the way. I also take direction well so if you’re working on training with your dog, I’ll follow your routine closely to keep things consistent while you’re away. I’m currently working from home so I am flexible with daytime walks and visits! I’m available for walks and drop-in visits, usually between 11am and 6pm I treat others space with the same respect I’d want mine to be treated with: I’m careful with entry access and making sure doors and gates are secure before I leave. I always double check food, water, and litter areas. If anything comes up, I stay calm, act quickly, and keep you informed the whole time.

About: I've always been a pet lover. Did pet sitting as a pre-teen and teenager. I had a soul cat for 15 years and a soul dog for 13 years. I have 2 grand-pups who I often dog sit or just take for a day adventure. I've had guinea pigs, hampsters, fish, you name it. I pass you and your animal on the street don't be offended by me going straight to them first! Animals (all animals) seem to love me back too which I LOVE! I'm currently not working or occasionally working remote contract jobs so I have plenty of time to spend spoiling your furr baby! And spoil them I will!!!! I have a condo in Minneapolis near the Sculpture Garden and Loring park. I am on the first floor with a patio and yard so plenty of space to do their business or to take a great walk. My building is small and very pet friendly. I'm also comfortable traveling out to your home since I'm central to the area.

About: I absolutely adore cats & dogs, and am excited to care for yours while you’re away! I grew up taking care of my family’s multiple dogs and I currently have two cats, so I know how special a family pet can be. I am a professional, and am happy to follow any special instructions you have for the care of your pet. I love being outside and staying active, and I hope your dog does too. I will ensure that your pet gets the attention they need whether it be a short walk or a long play session. Please contact me for you pet care needs; I look forward to meeting you and your family. Note about my services: -House sitting rate includes 24 hours. (Example: 10AM on Friday to 10AM Saturday. If you’d like additional hours on Saturday, I would ask you to book a second day of house sitting.) -Drop in visits are a maximum of two hours. I just finished graduate school and am currently job searching, so my schedule has a lot of availability. Please send me a message if you have questions about my availability. I love to walk and look forward to taking your dog out to get some exercise. I will adapt my care to your instructions to provide the best services for your pet.

“We've been working with Andy a few times now and appreciate the updates she shares with us on how the cats are doing. Her visits have resulted in us getting some great pictures that made us smile.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have been a dedicated dog owner for over 8 years. For the past 3 years, I’ve also fostered pups, giving me experience with a wide range of temperaments and styles. I’m comfortable with everything from high energy personalities to shy or anxious dogs. I’m comfortable with senior dogs (my last pup was 18!), puppies and everything in between. At this time, I’m focusing on small and medium sized dogs so they will be the best match for my own dog and I can provide the best care possible. I work full time from home and am available to board in my house anytime for most lengths of time. Lots of time to play with your pup! Right now, I’m open to hosting small and medium pups—as they are the best matches for my own dog. My dog, Elliot, loves to go for walks (weather permitting) and we’d love for your pup to tag along! If the weather is bad, my yard is perfect for zoomies, ball/toy chasing, neighbor watching and basking in the sun. I have my own small pup who is energetic and loves to play, but isn’t pushy. I work from home so we are together all the time! We walk often—in the morning, at lunch and in evenings. I have a fenced in yard for potty breaks with lots of toys and enrichment. I am home most of the time, but would contain (kennel or pen if needed) when I leave and I’m also open to pups that aren’t kenneled but safe to leave out (I’d put away my own dog).

“Abbey was so great to work with. We had a few hiccups (all on my end!) and she patiently worked through them and was very flexible. Would highly recommend!!”

“Andrew was great! I came home to two very happy fur babies. He went above and beyond when caring for them. I would definitely use him again when my family travels!!”

“Sally is always quick to respond, professional, and treats my pup like her own. It’s a great feeling to find someone you can trust with your pet. I would 100 percent recommend to anyone looking for pet services.”

About: We have a double lot that is fenced in with lots of squirrels in the tree for your dog to keep track of. There is also a small but fun little dog that loves to play and run around. When your dog gets tired, there are ample laps available for hanging out indoors. Experienced dog sitters looking to help out the dogs who don’t want to be home alone all day, or help you get out for a trip. We both have very flexible work schedules, and boarding and daycare can include walks, yard hangs, and precise food schedules. Walks are already built into a daily routine. I have a fully fenced in yard that is tall enough to keep most dogs from jumping. Depending on the dogs needs, I am happy to limit outside time to walks or supervised yard play.

About: I’ve had cats my whole life growing up, and have taken care of my neighbor’s dogs while they’ve been out of town. I think I’m good with all animals and I have so much love, care & respect for them and their families! I currently am not working so my schedule is very open! And I can easily move things around to make sure your animal get the best care possible! I am able to do whatever is needed by you the parents to make sure they are safe and cared for, I can take them on walks multiple times a day, feed them consistently and make sure they have a great time! I love to play with all animals but also understand they get tired too! I would love to do whatever is best needed for them!

“Clara took excellent care of my kitties while I was away! Great communication and response time. I would recommend Clara for any of your pet sitting needs!”

“The dogs are always so happy to see Brooke when she checks in! She keeps up updated on how they did and we come home to happy and relaxed pets.”

Sara N.

“Amber has been amazing to do drop-in checks on our 2 dogs. 1 elderly with occasional accidents, and 1 shy dog who needs to get to know calm and loving people first before she "accepts them into her pack". I could not recommend Amber more to be a caring dog sitter for your pets, no matter the situation or need.”

Michelle M.

“Ryan was awesome caring for my pups. One is a baby and the other is just a year. He is a great communicator and asked such good questions so that I felt confident leaving my furkids in his care!! My pups were very calm and happy when I arrived home!! I look forward to having Ryan care for Libby and Roux going forward. Thanks Ryan…”

Lori M.

“Jackson is a lifesaver with our dogs! We have a 10 mo. aus-shepherd mix with aggression and fear issues (wont allow strangers to come near us, or into the house or backyard). After a few visits with Jackson our dog is now so happy to see him each time! Jackson is one of the very few people our dog allows into our home, as well as to hang out and play with him and leash him for walks (if anyone has dealt with an aggressive dog they know the struggles, so to find someone we can count on for our pup is priceless). I would wholeheartedly recommend Jackson!”

Marie P.

“I've booked Sonny a few times now and will certainly continue to! They've shown me and my kitty a higher standard of care. I get so many thorough updates and adorable pictures, I don't even have to worry about my cat while I'm away. I know what he's up to and that he's in good hands! I'm also frequently leaving in a hurry and they're very accommodating with my schedule and needs despite that. Most importantly, I always come home to a happy, fed, & cared for kitty!”
