Dog Sitting in Circle Pines

About: Keep your pets out of the cold kennel and remaining in the comfort of their own home! I’ve been caring for other people’s animals since I was nine years old and over time that’s grown into a deep understanding of the bond between pets and their families. I don’t just watch pets, but step in as a calm, reliable presence so they can maintain their routine and sense of security while you’re away. I’m especially attentive to behavior and communication. Whether it’s managing doorbell triggers, easing separation anxiety, or reinforcing good habits, I work with your pet as an individual. My goal is always a smoother, more balanced experience for both you and your animal. I also have experience with pets who require a higher level of care, including those prone to seizures, pets with mobility challenges, and animals with heightened anxiety around storms or fireworks such as my own Australian Shepard. In those moments I prioritize patience and creating a comforting environment. When you book with me, you’re not just getting coverage, you’re getting consistency, daily communication, and peace of mind. I provide thoughtful updates and make sure you always know your pet is safe and cared for. I’ve been on Rover since 2018 and have built long term relationships with clients who trust me not just me with their pets, but as a friend. That level of bonding is something I aim to earn with every new client. My rates reflect the level of care, attention, and reliability I provide while keeping your pet out of the kennel and inside their own spaces. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet with the same attentiveness and respect you do, I’d be happy to connect and learn more about your needs. I take on pet appointments around providing smart home in house support and installation and do my best to accommodate your pet's needs and schedule. At your residence I try to keep your pets on their normal schedule when it comes to diet, exercise, bathroom breaks, and playtime. My "rental dogs" tend to get more walks with me than they do with their owners as I view it as my own gym time that the dogs also love. During overnight stays I am very respectful of client's homes and have been known to vacuum and do the guest room laundry prior to their return from vacation. I have a Toy Australian Sheppard named Vheissu (pronounced V-Sue) who lives with me half of the time, so if your dog comes over for daycare they may have a playmate.

“Brianna has been doing drop in/walk visits with Parker. She’s fantastic with him, so clearly a dog lover!!! I couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of him, and I would highly recommend her!!”

“Sean and Emilee provided updates and photos each visit. We’d happily book them again.”

“Elizabeth treats our cat and chinchillas like her own and it’s always so wonderful knowing our furry friends are in great hands whenever we’re out of town. She administers daily meds and goes above and beyond to make sure the pets are all happy and healthy. My cat gets very anxious during Thunderstorms, but Elizabeth takes the time to help calm him down and make sure he’s at ease. It’s incredible the difference we’ve seen in our animals since Elizabeth started caring for them. Our cat in particular used to have a lot of behavior issues whenever we’d go out of town. We haven’t had any of those issues since Elizabeth started watching him. She gives them the routine and attention they need, and we always come home to very happy healthy pets!”

About: I have always loved any type of animal. I started watching my neighbors and families dog at around 12 and I love the work because it doesn’t even feel like a job. I am always trusted to get your pet the most love and care that they would receive if you were here. I am currently working early mornings everyday but Sunday and Monday till 12:30 pm and after that I am free the rest of the day to let out dogs, walk them, play with them and give them lots of loves. I have a fenced in yard and my golden retriever is so friendly and she loves playing with other dogs. We have a crate incase that is needed

“Tanya was so nice and great with our senior cat Lilly. We felt worry free knowing Lilly would be well taken care of while we were away. We received many photos and notes with each stay! Thank you 💕”

About: I've been taking care of animals my whole life! From dogs to cats (and even a bearded dragon), I've done it all. I love walking during all seasons of the year and I'm always looking for new friends to come along with me! I'll make sure your dog has a great time stretching their legs. Im free for walks after work during week days which is typically around 5 PM (depending if I'm working from home or on-site). On Thursday and Friday, I have midday availability depending on travel distance - reach out and we can talk through details! I'm much more free on weekends so with notice I can make just about anything work! As an owner of a very large (German Shepard/Great Pyr mix) dog, I'm very familiar with the worries of a pet parent. I will treat your animal like my own and can handle even the largest of them (including pullers and reactive dogs).

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages. From energetic puppies needing structure to senior pets requiring patience and gentle attention, I tailor my care to each animal’s unique needs. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or just playtime, I aim to make every pet feel safe, loved, and at home. What sets me apart is my calm, intuitive approach and attention to detail. I treat every pet like they’re my own, respecting their routines, quirks, and comfort zones. I also send frequent photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m available for walks, drop ins, or sitting on the weekends. My priority is for your pet to get the attention and companionship they deserve. Your dogs safety and comfort come first. I follow each pet’s routine closely, from feeding schedules to walk times, to help them feel secure and relaxed. I always do a safety check of the space, keep hazardous items out of reach, and make sure pets are never left unsupervised outside. In your home, I treat your space with respect and aim to leave it just as I found it. I also provide regular updates, so you always know how your pet is doing.

“Flexible and reliable as always! We always appreciate the pictures and detailed notes about Mac’s mood and activities and most importantly, your genuine care for our big guy!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life. I currently have 4 amazing dogs of my own, I foster and volunteer for a local rescue so I have worked with dogs of all sizes, temperaments and needs.

I believe in treating every dog like my own-with patience, kindness and fun. I provide regular updates and photos, so you'll never have to wonder how your dog is doing. Whether it's a walk, a drop-in, or an overnight stay, I'll make sure your pup is safe, comfortable, and happy. Let's set up a meet & greet-l'd love to meet you and your furry best friend! I currently work full time so am available any day after 3 to bring your pup for a walk, feed them or bring them to my house to play with my dogs. I can make any night work for overnight care. I live in a dog-loving home with a secure, dog-friendly environment. My own dogs are well-socialized and friendly, and I take introductions slowly to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I am also available to come to your home to take care of your dog if preferred.

About: As a pet owner and animal lover, my experience in pet care has been both fulfilling and diverse. With my own beloved cat as a faithful companion, I have learned the importance of providing a nurturing environment, regular veterinary check-ups, a balanced diet, and engaging playtime to ensure her overall well-being. Additionally, my interactions with my neighbors' and cousins' dogs have allowed me to gain insight into the unique needs and personalities of different canine breeds. This exposure has deepened my understanding of responsible pet care practices, including exercise routines, positive reinforcement, and socialization. Through these experiences, I have developed a genuine passion for providing the best care possible for all furry family members Since I am currently a student, I am available at odd hours throughout the day so don’t be afraid to reach out and ask about when you need me to help out! I prioritize the well-being and happiness of the pets entrusted to my care in clients' homes. I understand the importance of maintaining a familiar and comfortable environment for the pet, ensuring that their routines and familiar spaces are respected. I am committed to providing ample love, attention, and affection, making sure the pets feel safe, secure, and loved during their time away from their owners.

“Christy is an amazingly kind and thoughtful pet sitter who genuinely loves the cats she visits on check-ins. I knew Ace and Mireille were in good hands with her!”

About: I have a passion for animals. Dog/house sitting is more than a job, it is one of my favorite hobbies. I am a very punctual and friendly person that you can rely on. I am a big proponent of picking up for your dog on walks & leaving your house cleaner than you left it. Nothing makes me happier then a wagging tale after a great walk. I am a full time professional that is always looking to make new doggie best friends. I have taken care of dogs big and small, as well as a small hodgepodge of other fun pets like hedgehogs, parakeets & house plants. Just know, that as you head off our your vacation, your pets will be comfortable and safe in their own home with me. I will be able to give to best care to pets that can handle the 8-4:30 schedule while I am at work. Extended stays/house sitting works fine with me and will give constant attention to your precious pets while I am there. When caring for your pet in your home, I stick to a strict schedule. I always come straight home after work so we can go on a long walk and then make sure we both get some dinner. Evenings will be spent giving all my attention and playfulness to those more energetic dogs!

About: I have been a responsible pet owner (dog mom) for 23 years. I have great deal of experience taking care of dogs, especially large dogs. I believe all dogs should be treated with love and kindness and as part of the family. I have gone through multiple dog training courses with my dogs I have had and I will implement those skills when I take care of your pet. I look forward to making a pawsitive impact for you and your pet! I currently work full time but I am available evenings and weekends for drop in visits, play time, and walks. My service area is Blaine, Circle Pines, Ham Lake, and Fridley. I will provide safe care in your home and follow all instructions and safety precautions that apply to your pet. As a dog mom to a reactive dog in the past, I realize the safety that is needed when walking a dog or visiting them at their home. Safety is the top priority of your pet and home.

About: I grew up with labs and ultimately wanted lap dogs once I moved out of my parents home. When I was 20 (in college housing) I was crazy enough to get a puppy! My little dachshund made me the most popular student on campus, shortly thereafter I adopted a min pin because being an only child can get lonely! Both my dogs lived to be 20! They recently passed away and we have been missing that part of our family and aren’t yet ready to commit to new furry pets. My daughter is 9 and has done quite a bit of dog sitting already, she is all hands on deck (with supervision) and will surely spoil your pups! We’ve had dogs overnight at our house, done overnights at others home as well as done check ins and day visits. I have experience with administering meds (pills and shots), making special diets, bathing, nail clipping, ear cleaning, teeth brushing and all the typical dog Mom stuff! We like dogs of all sizes and ages! We love to go for long walks and explore nature or play a game of chase or fetch. I work a flexible schedule Monday - Friday and like to stay busy so would be able to accommodate most requests depending on location and advanced notice. We do not currently have any furry pets in our home so your dog(s) would be our main priority! We have a large downstairs basement if your dog has a lot of energy and would get them outside for good exercise as well.

About: Countless friends and family have asked me to watch their pets while they're out of town especially last minute. I respect and care about each pet, trying to make them as happy and comfortable as possible. I work remotely a few days per week and available on weekends. Schedule can be flexible depending on service. Also tend to be available on holidays. When I visit a client's home, I keep it the same as when I came in. I respect and keep their home clean and try to have the pets as comfortable as possible.

“Ava was really amazing. She was very professional, and above all she was very thoughtful, kind and caring with our senior with special needs dog. She met with us prior to our scheduled drop ins so she was familiar with Cole’s needs and routines. She was an exceptional communicator, sending pictures and updating us with how things were going, and very understanding with our shy senior dog. We would highly recommend her and definitely look forward to using her again!”
