Dog Sitting Columbia Heights

“Sydney took great care of my three cats while I was away, and I was so appreciative of all the detailed updates and photos each visit. She even gave updates on what kind of food my cats seemed more interested in that day (note to self: they are out of their beef pate phase!). I highly recommend Sydney for cat sitting and will book again! She went above and beyond to make sure all of their needs were met, including playing with them and making sure they were comfortable while I was gone. My babies were happy and healthy when I returned. It was such a relief knowing my cats were in safe hands, and I truly appreciated Sydney!”

“Seeley was INCREDIBLE! She was also so detailed and really took time to ensure I felt comfortable away for three weeks. She was on time, honest, and did great updates. Would love to have her as a regular! book her now, you wont regret it!”

About: Who doesn’t love dogs? I’ve been born and raised with at least one or two dogs by my side at all times. I’m a teacher most of the time, but this summer I’m looking hangout with some furry friends! Hope to work with you soon! Currently on a teacher summer schedule, my schedule is flexible this summer! Just reach out and see what we can work out for the other of us. Pets are family, they should be treated like family. My dog is my best friend, I understand how you feel about your furry friend, I’m here for a peace of mind.

About: Your baby or babies are in great hands with us! I'm an animal lover with a history of helping people take care of their fur babies. I am also more than willing and able to pick up your baby or babies if you'd like. I've had dogs and/or cats most of my life. My friends and neighbors have regularly trusted me to take care of their fur babies of varying ages, breeds, species and needs for many years. One even had 2 cats, 2 dogs and a ferret. I have about 5 years of experience fostering puppies, with the biggest litter being 5 pups and the youngest being 3 weeks. I love animals and enjoy having fun and playing with them at home, as well as walking them and going to the dog park so they can socialize and run and play with other dogs. I have administered meds both orally and by injection to both dogs and cats. I've also had a cat once that I nursed, because he was about a week old when I got him and kept him. I currently have a full time job, usually working 8-9 hours a day 4 days a week, but my partner is available to be here on days I'm at work while I transition to dog sitting full time. I have a fenced yard and a dog at home that's sweet and gets along well with other dogs. I have plenty of room to run around and play inside also. My pup has lots of toys and is good about sharing them. She's not food aggressive. We enjoy going for walks and do our best to go to the dog park every day for extra exercise and socializing. I know how to give medicine orally and by injection as I have done both in the past.

About: I bring a calm energy and genuine love for each and every dog especially when I have a very hyper/social pug at home. I’m very patient, which helps especially shy or anxious ones—feel relaxed and secure. I focus on routines, attentive to behavior, and keeping your pets comfortable. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to providing loving, consistent care that pet owners can trust. Since moving to Minneapolis and currently having some free time. I have dedicated my time/availability to pet care and sitting at any day and time! For clients home I provide consistent, attentive pet sitting by following their normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding on schedule, daily walks or litter box cleaning, playtime, and companionship to keep pets calm and comfortable in their own environment. I also administer medication if needed, monitor behavior for any changes, and ensure water bowls are always fresh and full. I keep the home tidy by cleaning up after pets and respecting your space. Regular updates with photos and messages help keep owners reassured while they’re away.

“Ned came for a meet and greet so I could introduce LucyLulu and show him how I feed her, what commands we use and how to get her in and out of the house and kennel. LucyLulu liked Ned and he reported she was a good girl both visits. He lives very close and it is a good match.”

About: Lifelong pet owner and current dog handler at a doggy daycare/boarding facility looking to meet your pups (and kitties!) and help meet their standards of care! Expirence with many (and I mean a lot!) of breeds, and expirence with human/dog/food/leash reactive dogs of all types and temperments! Im a full time doggy daycare worker and a full time student in psychology but i have a lot of free time and love meeting and helping out with new pets! Saftey, trust, enviorment, and care for me is a top priority. I love befriending pups and making sure I can make them feel as comfortable and safe as possible!

About: I grew up with dogs, and miss them dearly in my life! Friends, neighbors and family have relied on me for years to take care of their pets: while away traveling, or in hardships. From closely monitoring my friend's cat after surgery when she couldn't call off work, to weeklong stays in family homes with rambunctious puppies, I've done it all. I've always had a passion for animals, including exotic pet care! I have personally kept a freshwater aquarium and understand that fish and reptile care is much more detailed and intensive than many may first assume. You can rest easy knowing your pets will be in good hands, and will be given the detailed care and attention they deserve. I'm currently in recovery from a chronic pain condition. This gives me incredible flexibility to take on care at any time, and give your pets the attention they deserve! Depending on my health, my availabily may fluctuate, but now that I'm finally on the upswing I'm ready to be active and my abilites will only increase in the coming months! I am currently not offering care through my own home, but I am happy to provide check ins on many varieties of pets! I adore reptiles and exotic pets, and will happily feed, administer care, and help wear them out by playing inside, in the yard, or walking the nearby area.

“We’ve asked Abby to take care of Mochi several times. She is always very punctual and attentive, which gives us great peace of mind when we travel. Mochi was well cared for, healthy, and happy. Thank you, Abby, for being so trustworthy!”

About: I have taken care of neighborhood and family pets intermittently throughout the years. My experience is primarily day care, which includes home visits to walk, feed, and play with the pets! As a college student, I have a flexible schedule at the moment, which allows me to dedicate the time and proper care and love towards your pets! At my client’s home, I will provide care for their pet via the instructions and information given by the client. I won’t do anything outside of the information given to ensure the pet’s safety and comfort! I will provide updates and share any concerns or questions if needed!

“Chloe was a superb dog sitter! We are so grateful she could stop in to care for our senior dog when we needed extra support. Would totally have Chloe back again.”

Although there is no yard we are out frequently walking and using the restroom. Rest assured we also have the ability to keep separate if needed.

About: I love dogs, no matter the size, age, or breed, I am determined to be your dogs new best friend! I've been dog sitting for a few years now, originally just within my neighborhood, I started Rover as a summer job last year, but I fell in love with it and decided to continue. I've always loved animals, so getting to spend time with your beloved pets is such a privilege! I am currently a college student, but I do online classes so the majority of my time is devoted to dogs. I am committed to providing personalized, and loving care around the clock. While your pets are here, I try to maintain their home schedules as much as possible, for example, if they eat at a certain time At home, that's the time they'll eat here. I've noticed that it helps ease the transition between my home and yours. To them, my home is just an extension of their home. I also have experience with senior dogs, puppies, and dogs who may be recovering from illnesses or surgeries. I can administer oral or topical medications and provide cpr if it were ever necessary. If your dog has specific or specialized needs, please let me know and I will ensure I work with you and them to provide the best care possible. My schedule completely revolves around the dogs. I am a college student, so occasionally school endeavors can interfere with pick-up or drop-off times, but for the most part, I can fully adjust my schedule to the needs of you and your dog. You are always free to adjust pick-up and drop-off times with no extra charge, just send me a message and we'll work out the best time for you. I do not charge in situations such as a missed flight, illness, or other unforseen circumstances that may require your dog to be in my care for a little longer. My main goal is to always treat your dogs like my own! Everyday I ensure your dogs are loved, and I try to spend as much time with them as possible. I have a large fenced in yard where your dog can run and play, I try to spend as much time outside as possible. If your dog is social, my dogs love to play and socialize with yours. I have a Golden Retriever and a Havapoo, they're both neutered and very friendly. Rex my golden is very gentle and plays well with smaller dogs. If your dogs prefer to be on their own, I can do staggered outside time and keep them completely separate, no problem! Feedings always take place in kennels or separate rooms, so dogs are always separated for that.

About: With over 8 years of experience in animal care, I’ve had the pleasure of working with a wide variety of pets—including dogs, cats, rats, and even lizards! I’m confident handling pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior companions who need a bit of extra TLC. I also have experience administering medications like pills, topical creams, and pet inhalers. I’m always happy to learn your pet’s unique routine and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I’m a student at the University of Minnesota and love spending my free time caring for animals. While my weekday schedule is limited due to classes and work, I’m fully available on Fridays and weekends and would be happy to dedicate that time to pet care. I look forward to meeting new pets and giving them the attention they deserve! Since I care for pets in their own homes, I always try to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I stick to their usual routine—whether that means walks, meals, playtime, or meds—whatever they need to feel at ease. I know how important it is to have someone you trust in your home, so I’m always respectful of your space and do my best to leave things just as I found them (or better!). I’ll also send plenty of photo updates so you can see how your pet is doing and feel reassured while you're away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and try to make the time you're gone as stress-free as possible for both of you.

About: For over 5 years, I've been the go-to pet caretaker for many in my community. From energetic puppies to wise senior dogs, I've had the joy of caring for them all. My experience spans walking, feeding, bathing, and even some basic training. Every pet is unique, and I pride myself on recognizing and attending to each one's individual needs. Whether your fur baby needs patience, energy, or a gentle touch, I'm here to provide it. Balancing a remote job gives me the flexibility and opportunity to dedicate substantial time to pet care. I’m fervent about ensuring our furry companions get ample play and attention. I am open for boarding on weekends, and my weekdays post 11am are entirely devoted to caring for pets. Rest assured, your pets will enjoy ample time of fun and care with me! Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. In my home, I've created a pet-friendly environment, free from hazards and with plenty of play space. All pets have access to clean, comfortable resting spots and fresh water at all times. If I'm taking care of pets in your home, I'm respectful of your space and follow all guidelines provided. My goal is to ensure that whether I'm in your home or you entrust your pet in mine, they are safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated pet lover, experienced cat and dog owner, and reliable sitter who genuinely enjoys caring for animals and making them feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I have experience caring for multiple cats and a dog with varying personalities and understand how important routine, patience, and attention to detail are when it comes to pet care. I’m happy to provide feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, medication administration if needed, and regular photo updates for peace of mind. Outside of pet care, I work in customer service focused roles that require responsibility, communication, organization, and staying calm under pressure which all translate well to pet sitting. I’m also very active and enjoy dog walking as a way to stay outdoors and moving. As a pet mom myself, I know how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets and home, and I strive to provide dependable, attentive care for every animal I work with! I currently work an 8-5 in-office job but am always up early for a drop in or a walk before work, or afterwards for a play session or drop in! Weekends are usually wide open for me and I would love to spend a portion of them providing care and love to pets missing their owners. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine as best I can and creating a calm, comfortable experience while their owners are away. I carefully follow feeding schedules, exercise and enrichment needs, medication instructions, and any household preferences provided by the owner. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I adjust my approach accordingly—whether that means active playtime, long walks, or simply providing a quiet and reassuring presence. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own, with a focus on safety, reliability, and attentive care.
