“Lisa was wonderful with our elderly cat! She was always punctual, dependable, and incredibly gentle and attentive. Knowing she was caring for our cat gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We’re truly grateful for her thoughtful care and would wholeheartedly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!”

About: My dogs have always been very high needs growing up, so I have a lot of experience working with different diets, medications, and needs. I'm an athlete, so I can take them out for long periods of time to get exercise as needed, which can be really helpful for hyperactive dogs who have to be cooped up during the day. I'm also entirely capable of caring for senior dogs, I can take things at their pace and make sure they're comfortable and happy. I am currently a full time college student, but I have a lot of open time either between classes or after them. I commute to the Twin Cities from the suburbs, so I can easily travel wherever I am needed to be able to check in on or take care of your furry friends. Being in the cities with my own car I can take dogs out for walks around the lakes or down some of the trails nearby so they (and I) can get some proper exercise before my classes. When caring for pets, I always make sure they are getting plenty of time to move around, especially if I'm just dropping in to check on them, but regardless of the need. I like to keep a checklist of what I need to get done, as well as just having a bit of time to play with or pet them. I can take pets out for walks on foot or with my roller skates, which lets me go longer distances with them. I make sure to clean up any messes I might make, putting everything back as I found it and keeping things nice and tidy for when you get home again. I'm confident staying in new places, and can make sure everything stays safe in your home or space during my time there.

“Lauren is great with cats. She took care of my two for three weeks, providing daily visits, food, litter cleaning and play for 30-50 minutes a visit. They thought she was awesome.”

About: When I was younger I started my own dog walking business, as of lately I thought about going back to my roots. Although I haven’t owned dogs throughout my life, I’ve definitely taken care of them for friends and family and I can promise you I will help meet the needs of your dog whatever they may be! I work as an RN, but have a lot of random weekdays and weekends off. I’m looking to stay busy this summer now that I’m not in school. I will respect the environment that I am in. I will treat your pet with the love, care and respect they deserve as well as your home.

About: I have a bit more varied experience than some. When I was young, we had a veritable zoo, and I haven't stopped having animals since. I've never not had a dog and was made responsible for over 30 miniature horses whenever their owner needed it. I also have experience with ferrets, cats, parakeets, parrots, and lizards. I will say if you need to look after something more exotic (and demanding) we would need to talk first. My dog is also quite old and has a lot of health problems, so I am familiar with handling these. I work Mondays from 12-7 and Tuesdays through Thursday I work 10-4. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday I have mostly open availability with the exception that I occasionally have work events. Each animal is different, and so I would strive to find that balance with your dog. Every dog plays a bit different or might need their food handled differently. While I can't take animals into my home at the present, I will strive to be as careful with meeting their needs as I do my own pup at home.

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs for a few years for friends, family, and neighbors who relied on me to walk them and feed them and just keep them company I am currently available anytime during the week so I have plenty of time Monday through Friday to hang with your pups and bring them on walks I have a back yard and I have a dog that will give your pups some company that loves to go on walks and play

“My cat was so calm when I came back from my trip. That tells me in her two 1-hour visits Alex gave him the TLC and attention he needed while I was away. She sent pictures and updates to me while she visited which was very nice. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been around animals since I was about 8 years old and have always loved caring for them. My friends and grandparents often trust me to watch, feed, and walk their pets when they’re away or busy. I’m patient, responsible, and make sure every pet feels safe and cared for, just like they’re my own. I currently work part-time. On weekdays, I work from 7:00–9:00 AM and 2:45–5:30 PM, which allows me time in between shifts and after 5:30 PM to care for and spend time with your pets! On weekends, I’m generally available, except Sunday mornings until 1:00 PM. I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and cared for. I follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, medication, and routines. I give plenty of attention, playtime, and love while keeping them comfortable and safe.

About: What sets me apart is the care and attention I give to every pet. I treat each animal like family and take the time to learn their individual personality, routine, and needs. I’m patient, dependable, and comfortable caring for pets of different ages and temperaments, including energetic puppies and senior pets who may need a little extra patience and attention. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I work part time, and my kids are all over 18, so my schedule is fairly flexible. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I’m able to give pets the time, attention, and care they need. I enjoy having animals as part of my day and am happy to work with each pet’s individual routine, whether that means morning visits, afternoon check-ins, or evening care. I care for every pet as if they were my own. When visiting a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, making sure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter box, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I’m respectful of your home and make sure everything is clean and secure before I leave. I also enjoy sending updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Hi, I'm Lydia, and I'd love the opportunity to care for your pet! I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. Whether you're at work, on vacation, or just need an extra helping hand, you can count on me to provide dependable, attentive, and compassionate care. I've cared for and fostered dogs and cats of all ages—from playful puppies and kittens to sweet senior pets. Through that experience, I've become comfortable administering medications, caring for anxious or reactive pets, and adapting to each pet's unique personality, routine, and energy level. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, chasing toys, snuggling on the couch, or simply having a calm companion, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I'm also a registered nurse, so providing attentive care, following detailed instructions, and staying calm in unexpected situations are second nature to me. I work three 12-hour shifts each week, which gives me several full days to dedicate to pet care, including walks, runs, drop-in visits, daycare, and overnight stays. My goal is simple: to care for your pet as if they were my own while giving you complete peace of mind. During every visit, I'll send detailed updates along with plenty of photos, so you'll always know how your pet is doing. I pride myself on being punctual, communicative, and reliable, and I would be honored to earn your trust. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family! I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule that will allow me to take some last minute requests! I work 3-12 hour shifts a week which provides me with a lot of free days! Need something outside my listed availability? Reach out! While I keep my calendar as accurate as possible, I may be able to accommodate special requests. I will care for your pet like they were my own! I promise to be professional and courteous while entering your space to care for your pet if I'm dropping in. If they are staying with me-I also have a beautiful back yard overlooking a pond for some good supervised sun bathing, fetch, or good sniffs.

“Our kittens were so calm when we came home. Even our baby that is scared of his shadow loved her. She texted back within minutes. Our home was spotless.”

About: I have been involved in small animals care for roughly 8 years, with 4+ years being a veterinary assistant. I have experiences in walking, feeding, bathing and nail trimming, administering medicine for various size and age of pups. I have the pickiest and most difficult patient ever - Kit Kat, my 14-year-old miniature poodle. My heart has a special place for senior dogs yet I can also be playful with puppies. I also have a 2-year-old chocolate lab mix with medical conditions and an 8-month-old puppy, Winnie. I am a worrier, especially when I am not home with my dogs. I am certified in basic life support and advanced life support (RECOVERY), which I obtained through working in animal ER. Being around animals is not a job or hobby, it is a great part of my life which brings me so much joy! I am a veterinary student at the University of Minnesota. Because of my class schedule, I do not work full-time at the moment. This allows me to have a few hours through out the day and a few days a week, which I can utilize to help your pets. I am a worrier, especially when I am not home with my dogs. I totally understand your concerns and will do my best to resolve them! I am happy to send updates regularly and a few snapshots, of course.

“Thanks so much!”

About: Hello there my name is Katherine, ever since I was young, I have loved dogs and cats. This love has become a passion that has led me to work with them daily and have become a Fear Free Certified Professional. I am a Pet Sitter who has experience with all sorts of personalities, from nervous pets to overly friendly pets. I know leaving your pet can be scary and stressful whether it’s the first time or for hundredth time. I believe in providing a gentle, safe, humane way of treating pets while under my care is integral to my ability to deliver the quality, trusted care your pets and you deserve. As a Fear Free Certified Professional Pet Sitter, my goal is to relieve the fear, anxiety, and stress of every pet and parent by ensuring your pets receive personalized, low-stress care by assessing their body language, using positive reinforcement, and creating a safe, calm environment within their own home, leading to a more enjoyable experience and better well-being for the pet regardless of whether we’re meeting for the first time or have an ongoing relationship. What does that mean? To serve pets under my care in a calm, low stress environment as I provide for their daily needs and deliver any needed home husbandry or medical care that’s required, while minimizing fear, anxiety, or stress in the pet, their parents and in myself. Why fear free? Good pet care means realizing when the pet is afraid and to help reduce their stress. I will not make your pet do anything they don’t want to. I will always take a considerate and gentle approach when caring for our pet and your concerns. Benefits for Pets 🐾 Reduced Stress and Anxiety: I am trained to recognize and de-escalate signs of fear and anxiety, creating a calm and secure atmosphere for your pets during those fearful times. 🐾 Improved Health: By minimizing stress, Fear Free practices can prevent stress-induced illnesses, improve the immune system, and lead to better overall health outcomes. 🐾 Positive Associations: Using positive reinforcement, distraction techniques, and other calming methods helps pets develop positive associations with their pet sitter and the home environment. 🐾 Personalized Care: My approach is based on the individual pet's personality, needs, and emotional state, ensuring a customized and comfortable experience. Benefits for Pet Owners 🐾Peace of Mind: Parents can be assured their beloved pet(s) are content and well-cared for in their own home, leading to a less stressful experience for everyone. 🐾Enhanced Pet Well-being: Knowing their pet is receiving care that prioritizes their emotional and physical health offers reassurance to owners. 🐾Preventative Care: Pets who are comfortable with their pet sitter are more likely to have positive interactions and have their needs consistently met. How It Works 🐾Body Language Assessment: I am skilled at reading pet's body language to understand their comfort level and detect any signs of stress. 🐾Positive Reinforcement: They use rewards and positive cues to encourage desired behaviors and build trust with the pet. 🐾Environmental Management: The environment is adjusted to be calming, which can include using soft lighting, quiet spaces, and incorporating pheromone diffusers. 🐾Calm Handling: Sits and interactions are conducted at a slower, calmer pace, avoiding methods that could increase stress. Please reach out if there are any questions! I work a full-time job Monday through Friday, but I am still available to care for your pet depending on what you need. Boarding in-house weekends only. If your pet feels more comfortable staying at their home, I can stop in multiple times and stay the night if desired. When your pup stays here (we are unable to board cats), they will have a large backyard to play in with Tony and Ziva. They can sleep wherever they want, from dog beds to furniture/beds. They will be loved as if they were my own. If your pup/kitty needs to stay in their safe space, I can stop in multiple times. When I stop in to check on your pup/kitty, I spend time with them, giving them some love. Or if needed, can stay over for overnight care.
