House Sitting in Chaska

“Katie has taken care of our girls - both dogs and chickens numerous times and we always come home to happy pups, well managed chickens and a house in great shape. She communicates regualrly and keeps up informed of any concerns. She does a great job with pups who can be very challenging at times and they love her! I would recommend her highly!”

Paula J.

“Katy went over the top taking care of our dog Jax. Jax is a very shy, skittish dog. She knew how to work with him, and was observant of his comfort level. Katy is professional, trustworthy, and kind!”

About: Hi! I’m Andrea. I am a lifelong animal lover with years of hands on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all kinds. I’ve raised and loved Great Danes, golden retrievers, chihuahuas, and several cat breeds, so I’m comfortable with everything from big gentle giants to tiny divas. I’ve also personally pet sat for a wide range of breeds and temperaments, including senior pets and animals with behavioral challenges. Whether your pup needs patience and structure or your cat just wants quiet companionship, I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy, and cared for like family. Pet care fits really naturally into my routine! I’m free all day on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, so I have plenty of time for longer visits, walks, or overnight stays. During the week, I get off work around 4:30 p.m. and can also stop by during my lunch break if needed. I’m flexible, reliable, and happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pets get the care and attention they deserve. When I’m caring for pets in someone else’s home, I do everything I can to make sure they feel safe, loved, and relaxed in their own space. I stick to their usual routine, whether that’s a morning walk, cuddles on the couch, or just quiet company, and follow any instructions you leave to a T. I treat your home with the same care and respect I’d want for mine, and I’ll always keep you in the loop with sweet updates and photos. My goal is to make things as stress-free as possible for both you and your pets while you’re away!

“I can’t say enough good things about Angels dog sitter, Sandy! She took such amazing care of our dog while we were away. From regular updates, and photos to make sure all of Angels needs were met. Our family felt completely at ease the entire time. Our dog was happy, calm clearly well loved. We highly recommend Sandy, and will absolutely book with her again.”

“If you are looking for someone to treat your precious babies as well as you do or even better, Nikki is the sitter for you. She made sure the very different needs of my 12 Lab and 11 rescued greyhound mix were meet. Nikki was super easy to work with and always very responsive.”

About: I've had a lot of experience watching dogs and cats for many family members and friends. I also have experience working at an animal shelter for many months. I'm confident in my abilities to handle any kind of temperament and create a comfortable environment for every pet! When I have done drop-in visits for pet sitting, I like to do up to three visits each day. Morning, early afternoon, and evening are the times I typically try to check in. With each visit, I follow their food schedule, take dogs for potty breaks (and/or check cat litter boxes), spend a good amount of time playing with each pet, and cleaning up before leaving. At a client's home, if there isn't a yard for their dog(s) and they need time outside, I typically map out a trail for walking/potty breaks. Before taking any action, I like to ask the owner's preference on their pets' comfortability in where they walk or spend their time.

“Alex was amazing! I could not have asked for a better sitter for our trip!!! We have three dogs and all with various levels of “issues” Our smallest and oldest dog needs a lot of pets and love and wants to cuddle all the time. He was in love with her Our middle dog is very shy and doesn’t trust many people. She went on a hunger strike while we were gone. She handled it with ease and kept us updated throughout our trip. Our youngest is a VERY active and VERY big puppy. She can be a handful to say the least.... she was in love with Alex and was very relaxed the whole time we are gone”

Kayla D.

“Felt very comfortable leaving my cat with Camille! He seemed to be very relaxed with her and she sent a lot of pictures so I was able to enjoy my trip and not worry about him doing okay ☺️”

Ella K.

“Hailey was extremely patient and gentle with my baby. She hopped on board last minute to help me out in a pinch and saved my weekend plans. So grateful for her and her communication was on point.”

Kelly K.

“We were so lucky to have Autumn stay with our dog. She took great care of him, was very responsive and made sure he kept his routine as much as possible. Would absolutely recommend her to care for your pets.”

Lindsey D.

“Ellie stayed to care of our pup when we had to travel out of town for a couple of days. She reached our place on time, and gave us regular updates about our pup and shared pictures. It was our first time leaving our pup overnight with a dog sitter and Ellie did an excellent job taking care of our pup. We highly recommend her as she is very good with dogs and dependable.”

About: My current crew: a sweet dog, two cats, and a 22-year-old ball python I’ve had since grade school. I’m experienced with traditional pets, rodents*, and reptiles*, and I provide gentle, attentive care for animals of all kinds. As a full-time remote worker, I’m home throughout the day and can offer a consistent, calm presence. Whether your pet is energetic, elderly, or a little shy, I’m happy to follow their routines and give them lots of love. I’m also comfortable with medications, special diets, and senior pet needs. I treat every home with respect, and every animal like family. ⸻ 🐶 Dogs * Hosting female dogs tends to be the best fit for our home and routines in this season, so for now, I’m only accepting female pups. Thanks for your understanding—I’m excited to meet your girl! I have an old-time Scotch Collie, age four. She’s a well-trained, responsive, dog-friendly pup—if your dog enjoys playtime, mine will be thrilled. If your dog is older or more reserved, I have an open-concept/split level house that I gate off to provide different spaces for dogs to decompress or have their own, dedicated area while still being a part of the family. I live just off a bike path and walk or run daily with my collie. I’m happy to meet whatever cadence of walks your dog prefers. I also have a fenced off area where I offer potty breaks or I will walk them around our 1 acre property. Your dog won’t scare my cats—in fact, they may become friends. My two long-haired cats are incredibly mellow. In past dog-sitting experiences, they’ve remained totally unbothered by barking, sniffing, or attention-seeking dogs. They’re actually so mellow and I don’t know why, they’re just weird. When a new animal arrives, they’ll investigate, decide whether it’s worth their attention, and then go take a nap. ⸻ 🐱 Cats If I’m sitting for your cat, I will provide a private room in the house, complete with their own litter box and space to climb, lounge, and settle in. I don’t believe in forcing intermingling with my resident pets—I want your cat to feel safe and relaxed. I will check in regularly for play, attention, and cuddles on their terms. —Unique Family Members— 🐭 Rodents I’ve had six pet rats in my life and think they’re some of the most wonderful animals—smart, affectionate, and full of personality (I even broke a toe playing tag with one when I was little!) I’m happy to care for any small critter and always consider them part of the family. I also have experience with hamsters, gerbils, and guinea pigs. ⸻ 🦎 Reptiles Although I only have Rex right now (my 22-year-old ball python), I’ve also cared for a variety of lizards and feeder animals. From bearded dragons to leopard and crested geckos, I’m familiar with preparing collard green salads, dusting crickets, maintaining humidity and temperature, and ensuring overall habitat health. I’ve even ordered crickets in bulk—so I know they require care too! While Rex is currently fed frozen rodents, I’m also comfortable managing live prey animals if your reptile/s require them. As a full-time remote worker, I’m home throughout the day and can easily build pet care into my routine. I take regular breaks to go for walks, give attention, or check in on animals staying with us. My mornings and evenings are flexible, so I can match your pet’s normal schedule—whether that’s medication timing, playtime, or feeding routines. Animals are a natural part of our daily rhythm here, and I love incorporating their care into my day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, animals are never left unsupervised with each other until we know everyone is comfortable. New pets are introduced slowly and calmly, with plenty of space to decompress. Sometimes personalities don’t click, in which case we easily keep them apart so that everyone is happy. I follow your pet’s routines as closely as possible—whether that’s feeding times, medication, or exercise—and I’m always happy to check in with updates. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll treat your space with respect and follow any specific instructions you leave. I’ll keep your pet’s world feeling familiar and low-stress until you’re home again.

About: I've grown up caring for three dogs at once in a busy household, so I’m no stranger to managing multiple pets with love and attention. I’ve also worked at a dog daycare, gaining hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’m especially confident with dog walking and making sure every pup gets the care, exercise, and attention they need. I’m currently working part time at cub so I’ll need to schedule around that but other than that I’ll be free most of the time. I treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I follow your instructions closely and keep your home clean and secure.

“Erica took great care of our furbabies while we were gone and communicated with us through the whole stay. She was easy to reach if we needed anything and very responsive. I will definitely be reaching out to Erica in the future and would recommend her service to anyone who may need it.”

“Our 14 year old Jack Russell is a spoiled little lady and has only been with us or Grandpa and Grandma. She’s a bit stand off-ish around strangers so a kennel was not an option for her especially at her age! Paige took time to come meet Roxie prior to her stay, and came a little early the first day of her stay to let Roxie get familiar with her while we were still around. When we left Paige and Roxie were playing ball and I knew they would be fine! Throughout the weekend Paige sent pictures and let us know all was well. Paige is reliable and communicative and great with animals! I will also add that I know Roxie had a great time and they played a lot because she now expects all of us to play ball with her constantly since Paige stayed with her!! 😉🤗”

“Nakita was the best! I had major anxiety about leaving my two dogs for the first time - to the point where I’ve hardly left the house in two years, let alone go on a much-needed vacation! Nakita was both professional and personable, which made it an easy choice to hire her and feel confident about leaving my babies with her. She sent me daily updates with super cute videos and photos, which made it easier for me to be away and enjoy my travels. I have a quirky, anxious older dog (Gus) and a rescue with major stranger-danger (Grace), and Nakita handled both of their personalities like a champ. It was only a matter of time before my shy girl Grace was begging her for pets and attention. Her experience in working with animals with special needs really shines. She also made sure to give them their medications on schedule. I would definitely hire her again!”
