Dog Sitting Chisago City

About: I’ve had dogs since I was a kid and also worked with all different types of dogs while working at a doggy day care. I learned there body language and behaviors I currently work part time and have plenty of time to spare and I just want to do something I love. More open on weekdays then weekends. I treat them as my own. Take them on many walks and make sure they get everything they need. Play with them and keep them company

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.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats! People relied on me to take care of their babies and I did it effectively and with love❤️ I work a full time job but I work 4 days on - 4 days off so I am available during those days off to help! I know many dog parks that is something you’d be comfortable with your pet going to! I could bring my pups as well if you are comfortable with that

“Samantha did a great job looking after our pets while we were away. She sent pictures and updates and communicated really well. Thanks again!”

About: I grew up with a medium sized dog (Vizsla mix) and have experience dog sitting for friends and family. I'm comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure dogs feel safe and cared for in their environment. I'm a very responsible, patient, and attentive college student. I completely understand how important it is to follow routines and instructions closely. Through my experience caring for others in my job, I've developed strong communication skills and reliability, which I also bring into pet care. I really enjoy spending time with dogs and will treat your pet as if they are my own, making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I'm also open to send updates and photos to help feel at ease! I currently work part time with a flexible schedule, which allows me to fit pet care into my day. My availability may vary slightly day to day, but I am generally available for walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. Starting mid June, I will be working an internship on weekdays, but will still be available in the evenings and on weekends. I'm happy to work with your schedule and be as flexible as possible! I live in a clean, pet friendly apartment with access to many safe walking paths nearby, which is perfect for regular walks and outdoor time. I always prioritize a dog's safety, comfort, and routine, and I am careful about following instructions provided by the owner. In a client's home, I am respectful of their space and make sure their pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment. I'm attentive, responsible, and will always keep you updated with messages and photos so you feel confident that your pet is in good hands!

About: There’s something about a dog’s loyalty, personality, and the way they become such an important part of our lives that I’ve always cherished. My love for dogs began at a very young age; at just six years old, I had a Poodle of my own and was already learning the responsibility and joy of caring for a dog. Throughout my life, I’ve proudly had dogs of my own and cared for friends’ and family members’ dogs while they were away. We recently lost our beloved German Shepherd/Husky to old age, and although his loss was difficult, it reminded me how much joy dogs bring into our lives. I would love the opportunity to share that extra love and attention with another amazing dog while their family is away. I’m a lifelong dog lover with more than two decades of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments, ranging from 2 to 165 pounds. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality, quirks, routines, and preferences and tailoring my care to help them feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I care for every dog as if they were my own, providing plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, affection, and walks when weather permits and with the owner’s approval. My 60-by-55-foot fully fenced yard provides plenty of space to play, explore, and enjoy multiple potty breaks throughout the day. I also work from home with a flexible schedule, allowing me to be present and attentive to my furry guests. Whether your pup loves cuddles or prefers personal space, I’m happy to follow their lead and respect their individual needs. With experience caring for dogs who are anxious, fearful, reactive, or more challenging to handle, I’ve developed strong observational skills and can recognize signs of stress, discomfort, illness, or injury. I’m also comfortable administering medications, following specific care instructions and routines, and providing basic first aid when needed. Most importantly, I love spoiling my furry guests because, in my opinion, they’re on vacation too! 🐾 You’re welcome to bring their regular food, treats, favorite toys, bed, blanket, or other comfort items to help make their stay familiar and special. I’m dependable in all weather conditions and always prioritize the safety, health, and comfort of every guest. If my calendar shows that I’m unavailable, please feel free to reach out anyway. I’m flexible whenever possible and happy to see if we can find a time that works. I look forward to meeting you and welcoming your furry family member into our home! ****** ******** ***** I’m proud to share that I’ve had the opportunity to volunteer with Can Do Canines and regularly participate in dog-related events. These experiences have been incredibly rewarding, and I’m grateful to be able to contribute to the care, training, and support of these remarkable dogs as they prepare to change lives. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to be readily available and provide pets with plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. I also have a fully fenced-in yard, which is ideal for multiple potty breaks, outdoor playtime, and exercise throughout the day. Caring for a pet comes down to consistently meeting their physical, emotional, and health needs. The exact details vary depending on the animal, of course! -I have a 60-by-55-foot fully fenced yard and pet gates in the house (if needed); -I love to go for walks with pets; -I love to cuddle and play with pets if that’s what they are into; -I feed them a balanced diet per owners’ instructions. Fresh water is always available. -I’d love to comb them if tools are provided from owners; -I provide lots of daily update pictures and/or videos; -And would be open to any reasonable requests owners might have.

“Lawrence was very responsible and reliable and he's such a nice guy. He was on time to every appointment. He did a wonderful job taking care of my cat. I definitely plan on asking for his help in the future.”

About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life and have always been a natural animal lover — animals tend to love me just as much as I love them. I currently have a few cats and live with my best friend, who has a dog of her own that I help care for regularly (she’s basically mine too!). I also have hands-on experience working with dogs from spending a couple of years at a doggy daycare, where I learned how to care for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m currently a server, and with it being the slow season right now, my availability is very flexible and open for most days and times. I love caring for pets in their own homes, where they feel safe and comfortable. I follow all routines, feeding schedules, and special instructions so your pet gets consistent care and plenty of attention. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just snuggles, I make sure your pet feels happy, loved, and well looked-after while you’re away.

About: I owned a dog that was energetic, fun and loving, but not always great when it came to interacting with other dogs, so I know a few tricks when it comes to handling such dogs. I also have experience in dealing with "high trigger" dogs, or dogs that like to chase smaller animals such as squirrels and other rodents. I know how to properly introduce myself to dogs and how build a good relationship with new dogs. Lastly I just love dogs! They are such good companions and friends. They're like children, except significantly happier and cleaner! I'm currently a full time college student and working a part time job and am free most evenings and all day on weekends. If you are looking for a weekly dog sitter or need one at the spur if the moment, I would be a perfect fit. I currently am living on campus, which is quiet dog friendly. Alot of trails for walking and open green spaces for playing. I have a car and would be willing to take your dog to parks that allow dogs as well.

“I have a special needs senior dog and had a last minute emergency. Breanca was available to drop in and check on my dogs. It was so very convenient and she sent me pictures and videos and made me feel at ease. :) 5 stars”
