About: Hi everyone, my name is Marissa! I am currently 20 years old and attending college at the University of St Thomas, but my hometown is Rosemount! While I have lived with cats my whole life, I love taking care of all kinds of animals. Along with experience with my own cats, I have experience cat/dog sitting and dog walking for other families. I have experience with elderly pets and administering medication as well if needed. Thank you for reading! I am currently a college student at the University of St Thomas but I am home for the summer in Rosemount so I have plenty of availability to watch your pets! I value spending quality time with your pet when I stop in. I know how lonely my pets get when my family is away so I make sure to spend plenty of additional time playing and snuggling. Will also definitely send you some pictures!

About: I’ve been dog sitting for neighbors for over 10 years and have also worked at a doggy daycare in Columbia Heights. I have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I currently work part time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide reliable pet care. I’m very experienced with managing my schedule and making sure each dog’s needs come first. I make time for regular feeding, walks, playtime, and bathroom breaks. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their care instructions and give their pets everything they need. During visits, I’ll feed them, let them outside or take them for a walk, and spend time playing with them to help get their energy out. I also make sure they get plenty of attention and are comfortable before I leave.

About: I have pet sat for family members and friends. I also have worked at Wag’n Wash and have a lot of experience with all different types of breeds and temperaments. I know how to properly handle and deal with most if not all situations. I am home for the summer from college in the middle of May, and after I’m home I will be free most of the week with some errands and stuff I have to do in between some days. So I will be able to house sit during the week or just take them on walks or check up on them, depending on what the client wants to do. I work weekends but am able to take breaks and stop by the house if needed. I will insure all the care is specialized to each animal and what service I provide for them. With each pet I will come up with a specific care plan for them and review it with the owner to insure they get a say in what happened while they are gone.

“Highly recommend!! Jaci has been walking our dog 1-2x/week for several months. She is dependable, friendly, and very patient/loving with our (often stubborn) senior pup. Thank you, Jaci!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up around a veterinary clinic and have worked as a veterinary assistant for the past 7 years, giving me hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Through both clinic work and pet sitting, I’m comfortable administering medications, caring for senior pets, handling anxious or nervous animals, and working with puppies who may need extra supervision, potty breaks, patience, or routine reinforcement. I recently graduated from Bradley University and currently have a flexible schedule for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting throughout the week and weekends. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits and can work around your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medications, playtime, and bedtime routines. I’m especially comfortable with pets who need more frequent check-ins, senior pets who may need extra attention, and puppies who benefit from structured routines and regular potty breaks throughout the day. I also love keeping owners updated and am happy to send regular messages and photos so you know how your pet is doing. Creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for pets is very important to me. Because of my 7 years of experience working in a veterinary clinic, I’m comfortable reading animal behavior, administering medications, handling nervous pets, and responding calmly in stressful situations if needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always try to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I pay close attention to feeding instructions, medications, walk schedules, potty routines, and any special care requests so pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment.

“Carrie was amazing! Great communication, on time and great pictures of our dog for her walks! Millie seemed like she had a blast with Carrie and had lots of play dates with her dog! I felt very comfortable leaving Millie in her hands. Thanks again!”

About: I’ve had a deep love for dogs ever since I was a little girl. Growing up with two dogs, I learned early on the joy and responsibility that comes with caring for a pet. As an adult, I’ve continued that passion by dog-sitting for friends over the years, helping them out while they’re on vacation. I understand that your dog is more than just a pet—they’re a family member. That’s why I make it a priority to ensure they’re well-fed, exercised, and, most importantly, showered with love and attention while they’re in my care. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just a cuddle session on the couch, I’m committed to giving them a safe, happy, and loving environment. I’m also more than happy to help with bathing and grooming if needed, ensuring your pup looks and feels their best. I work full-time during the week but am off every Friday this summer, which makes me available to care for your pet, especially if you're planning a weekend getaway. Whether it’s a quick trip or a longer vacation, I’m here to ensure your pup gets all the attention, love, and care they need while you’re away. I live in a townhouse in a wonderful, dog-friendly neighborhood where the association is supportive of pets. The area has plenty of grassy spaces where your dog can play, explore, and enjoy some outdoor time. It's a peaceful, safe community with multiple walking paths nearby—perfect for daily walks and adventures. Whether your dog loves to explore or just needs a quiet spot to relax, they’ll feel right at home here. I believe in providing a fun, safe, and loving environment for your pet while you're away.

“Yascha has been doing regular walks with our dogs for a few weeks now. Dogs are super excited when he arrives. Yascha has been very responsive and has been accommodating to all requests (harness type, protective dog clothing in inclimate weather, wiping dogs feet etc). Would definitely recommend Yascha!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and puppies since I was little. I treat them all like my own. If your animal has been requests I can accommodate. I work from home at night time so any time works for me since I have a yard for them to play and live life I don’t mind hosting them in my own or going to the clients home to assist the animals I take my own dog on a walk three times a day so if I am taking care of your dog they will get enough walks as well

About: Hi! I'm Zaffer. I do pet sitting full time which means I can give your dog real, undivided attention, not a rushed 15 minute drop-in squeezed between other commitments. I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, house sitting, and overnight stays at your home. I have hands-on experience with dog walking and pet sitting, and I'm comfortable with dogs of different energy levels and temperaments. I've fostered dogs with behavioral issues and volunteered at dog shelters, so I'm no stranger to nervous, reactive, or high-needs dogs. I know how to read a dog's body language and adjust rather than push. I'm calm, attentive, and take routine seriously. Feeding times, medication schedules, walk routes, and any quirks your dog has are things I'll follow exactly as you lay them out, not "close enough." Because I'm home for most of the day, I'm able to offer extended, low-stress visits or overnight stays where your dog stays in their own space, keeps their normal environment, and doesn't have to adjust to unfamiliar dogs or a new house. No boarding facility, no other pets, just your dog in their own home, on their own schedule. I check in regularly, I'm responsive to messages throughout the stay, and I send photo/video updates so you're never left wondering how things are going. Whether it's a quick walk, a few daily visits, or a longer overnight stay, my goal is to keep your dog's routine as close to normal as possible: same walks, same meals, same schedule, so the biggest thing that changes while you're away is who's holding the leash. Pet care is my full-time focus right now, so it's built into the rhythm of my whole day rather than squeezed in around something else. Mornings typically start with a walk, then check-ins or visits throughout the day depending on what each dog's routine calls for, feeding times, medication, playtime, whatever they're used to. Since I'm home most of the day, I have the flexibility to be consistent and responsive rather than working around a 9-to-5. For drop-ins and walks, I follow your instructions closely: feeding times, walk routes, medication, anything specific to your dog's needs or quirks. For house sitting and overnight stays, I treat your home with the same care and respect I'd want for my own, keeping doors locked, sticking to your dog's normal schedule, and making sure they have consistent company rather than long stretches alone. I check in regularly and send photo or video updates so you always know how things are going, and if anything unexpected comes up, I contact you right away rather than guessing. I'm also comfortable with dogs that have behavioral issues or anxiety, from my time fostering and volunteering at shelters, so I pay attention to body language and adjust rather than push a dog past what they're comfortable with.

About: I have a high-energy husky named Neko who created a lot of my recent experience. We go on daily adventurous hikes (although in the summer, less). He is my travel companion; I take him everywhere and you will rarely see me without him! He has taught me patience in the best ways. Prior to him, I have been an animal lover (mostly cats and dogs) my whole life. I have baby sat a puppy in the past, I know they are a lot of work but it is something I can do. I can do cat care as well, like the basics. Food, litter box etc. Expect me to be hanging out with your pet however they thrive best. If you have an active dog and the weather is good, we will probably be outside every couple hours. I work from home and take lots of breaks throughout the day with my husky, who typically enjoys lots of outside time. If you have a cat, they will potentially be sitting on my keyboard as I am trying to work, and we love that. I will follow whatever routines you have set in place already for a consistent experience so the pet is OK with their human being away. Also, it could be a good time to have new adventures on walks, likely on a leash and in public park or bike trail.

About: Since 2020, I've been providing dependable dog walking and in-home pet care for families in the Inver Grove Heights, West St. Paul, and South St. Paul areas. As a proud British Lab owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets the way you would. In addition to dog walks, I provide drop-in visits for dogs, cats, and guinea pigs. Whether it's feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, administering simple care routines, playtime, litter box or cage maintenance, or simply spending quality time with your pet, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. My Yard: 5 ft privacy fence entirely enclosing the yard and deck. My Pet: 65lb spayed female British lab who is passive and needs a meet & Greet before we accept Boarding Crating? I follow your routine so if you want them crated, I will do that (some parents teach dogs to be crated at night). I would only ever use it other than your specific direction if I were to leave the house to store, etc. Dog won't be alone long - I am home during days. My family: 2 adults, 1 teen, 1 kid in house. Scope us out! Come visit with your pup for a meet & greet! Boarding: Occasionally I do accept dogs to board in our home. The dog needs to meet & Greet our dog first (she is calm, passive spayed). I only accept dogs to boardthat are up to date on vaccinations. We have kids and stuff (socks, toys) lays out...if your dog will ingest socks or "eat" things laying out, this isn't a good Boarding match. I believe every pet has a unique personality and deserves individualized care, patience, and affection. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you're away, knowing your pets are safe, loved, and receiving the attention they deserve. I am flexible during weekdays, mostly for check ins, potty breaks and feeding. In evening and weekends I am open for walks, check ins and feedings. I follow your Pet's routine as you detail it! Walks I require a leash. I send you updates and photos from walks or check ins. My House & Yard: Occasionally, we accept dogs for boarding. That is only if we do a Meet & Greet first, and determine our dog (9 yr old, calm and passive British lab, spayed) is a match. We would only boarding a dog in our home that is up to date on vaccinations

“Gracie had a great time on her walk with Katie! Katie was great with communications working around some app glitches, punctual, and was very accommodating to Gracie’s neurosis : ) Will be walking with her again for sure!”
