“Anne was great! We appreciated her availability last minute and on a holiday. Our dogs can be a lot to handle and she was very loving. Her drop in was very thorough and she gave our pups plenty of time to be out and running around before going back into their kennels. Thanks Anne!”

“Courtney was great & such an enthusiastic visitor to break up the long day for my dogs. I appreciated the great communication she provided about her visit. 😊”

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

About: I have always loved animals (more than the average person!) and have helped care for my family and friends’ pets for over a decade. I meet pets where they are at, respecting their boundaries and their home environment to make them feel safe and loved. I will treat your pet as if they were my own! My schedule is flexible. Some days I work my full time job mornings and some days I work second shift, so that is something to factor in when considering your pet’s schedule. I am available most weekends for overnight stays, and free for check ins and overnight stays on weekdays as well. I am also available most days for walks or drop-ins. Time of day will depend on my other work schedule. When I care for your pet, I also care for your home. I am very responsible, trustworthy, and mindful of my environment and understand the privilege of being welcomed into a client’s home. I am also a professional cleaner, so I will make sure to leave your home in the very best condition.

About: I’m a dog mom of two, both with chronic conditions requiring medications 2 times a day. I’ve had dogs my entire life. I can teach sit, shake, lay down, roll over, and speak. I have a big house with plenty of room and a fenced in back yard with a dog door. My dogs have had plenty of socialization with others. I currently work 7am -4pm Monday through Friday. I am able to help with things after work during the week and all weekend long. My husband has availability on Thursdays and Fridays. Monday through Wednesday for 8 hours my dogs are crated. That is a possibility for a visiting dog as well I have a dog door to a fenced in yard and two dogs of my own. I can utilize crates or a guest bedroom at my home. I can help with baths, walks, and overnight care. My dogs sleep in bed with me and there’s room for more. My very loving husband can provide a few more hours of availability on Thursdays and Fridays

“Fabulous communication, punctual, and great with the dogs. We will continue to work with Amara!”

About: I have experience owning and caring for Miniature Schnauzers and Miniature Dachshunds. These dogs have taught me so much about patience, companionship, routines, and the unique personalities and needs of different breeds. I truly love dogs and enjoy giving them the attention, affection, exercise, and care they deserve. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved when their families are away. I would treat every dog in my care like one of my own. As a self-employed person who works from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide plenty of time, attention, and companionship to the animals in my care. Working from home means I can be available throughout the day for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and check-ins. I’m able to work around each pet’s individual routine and needs, while still keeping up with my own work responsibilities. I love having the opportunity to give pets the care, attention, and love they deserve while their families are away. I would care for a client’s pet as if it were my own. I would follow the owner’s instructions carefully, keep the pet’s feeding, medication, exercise, and potty schedule consistent, and give them plenty of attention and affection. I would also keep the home clean and safe, provide regular updates to the owner, and make sure their pet feels comfortable, loved, and secure while they’re away.

“Ron did a great job making friends with our 18 year old cat! He took great care of her and was able to give her some transdermal medication. We will definitely call Ron again!”

About: I am also a pet sitter on the app TrustedHouseSitters and really enjoy the journey of pet sitting! I grew up LOVING dogs but was never allowed one and only grew up with cats & a bearded dragon of my own, so I would only get the chance to be with dogs when it came to friends having them. As I got older and attained my own place, I took it upon myself to dog sit for my friends, family, and sometimes neighbors. I’ve been doing this for 4 years now, in my home and their homes as well. The longest I have dog sat is for a year for a family friend while they were away in the military. (The dog was untrained and very hard to take care of lol) I have an unconditional love for all animals! I am a fashion model and a brand ambassador, so my work is all very flexible and I get to decide when I will work. When saying in home and taking care of your pet, I will take all the precautions and needs that are to be provided to your pet seriously.

“Great care with Gracie and great communication”

About: Our family has been dog crazy every since I can remember. I've pet sit since I was a child and have had family dogs my whole life, both big and small, and love the individualness of every breed. I believe it's important to know about each breed I care for as well as each dog's personality and temperament. I am looking forward to doting on yours! I'm an early riser, so your dog's day starts bright and early with me. I work full time, but my schedule has real flexibility in it, which means I'm around for midday potty breaks, playtime, and check-ins rather than being gone for one long stretch. Daily walks are already part of my routine, and I'm lucky to live near a dog park and plenty of green spaces, so there's always somewhere good to explore. Your dog's health and comfort come first with me. I'm experienced with dogs who need daily or as-needed medications and I'm careful about following your instructions exactly as you give them. Walks are always matched to your dog — a senior who prefers a slow stroll gets a slow stroll, and an energetic pup gets to burn off that energy. My home is a safe place where visiting dogs can relax and feel at ease.

“Highly recommend Kallyn to watch your pets! She was great at communication, has a lot of experience taking care of animals, and genuinely cares about their well-being. I know my senior cat was in excellent hands!! I will definitely ask kallyn to take of my pets in the future.”

“I had a great experience with Tasha and knew our dog was in great, caring hands during drop in visits while we were away. I definitely recommend Tasha’s care and will be looking to book with her in the future!”

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.

“Shelby was amazing! She was able to help watch our kitty super last minute and was so attentive and sent wonderful updates!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was old enough to learn how. I currently have a five-year-old yellow lab who loves to cuddle and play fetch! I have always loved dogs and will never miss an opportunity to pet one! I am currently a student of Physical Therapy and am totally free the next three weeks because I am on break. I love getting active so walks with my dog are really great. I also think dogs are therapeutic! I have a large fenced in yard with a lot of open space in a great neighborhood. There are a lot of really nice places to go on walks and many of the neighbors have dogs as well. The home itself is very large and there is plenty of space to play and run around.

“Alexandra was absolutely wonderful with our dogs. She’s always on time, communicative, friendly and so caring to the dogs. Will always use her for our dog sitting needs!!!”

“Olivia was great! It's our first time to use Rover, and we're glad we chose the right sitter. Our kitties loved her and one of them showed his belly which is his sign of approval! One of them vomited (which she cleaned up) and she came back that same night on her own initiative to check on them, which was very much appreciated.”
