About: I have 23 years of pet ownership experience (cats, reptiles, and a simple fish tank). I also have a bit of volunteer experience training service dogs and have taken care of friends' pets while they're away. I work my other job from home and determine my own hours, so my schedule is generally very flexible. I have a weekday evening commitment a couple times a week, but I can easily work around that two hour block of time. I love animals and will do everything I can to take care of yours as if they're my own. Let's discuss medical needs before booking, and I will make sure I have your vet's information in case of emergencies. I require a meet & greet for first time bookings. This is a complimentary visit to meet your animals, learn the routines, and ask each other any questions we need to make sure they get the best care.

“i’ve been using emerson consistently multiple times a week for almost a year now- he is flexible, communicative and extremely reliable. he does a great job with my large doodle and even was able to manage my two large dogs when i had them both. will continue using emerson and highly recommend!”

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.

“Shawntil is a gem. So happy when she drops in to take care of my 3 pups. 💗”

About: We LOVE dogs and have a city sized house full of people that love giving them attention! We have 2 school age children but are home full time in the summer with a good sized fenced backyard and our own friendly pups, Oli and Lulu. I (Kara) grew up always having a dog in the family, and as soon as I could, I acquired one of my own. I've learned that dogs need people, but people need dogs just as much. All this to say, we can't imagine a world without these furry little companions! With many attentive people in our household, your dog will never have needs unmet. Whether it be snuggles, toys, pets, walks, playtimes, food... be assured we can handle it! We can't wait to meet your dog! We both work in education, so our summers are very open & flexible and offer so many opportunities for dog walks, dog parks, pet cuddles, etc. We have a fenced back yard and get on many outings with our own high energy dog. We do on long walks daily and often to the off leash dog park (if your dog is licensed in Minneapolis).

“I have Andy booked to walk my dog once a night while I work 12 hour shifts, and she is always so good about sending updates, providing pictures, making sure I know my Lucy is safe, happy, and getting some exercise and fun! It's a weight off my mind to know she is well-cared for, and Andy has been very reliable!”

About: I’ve been around animals all my life, including horses and cows so it’s safe to say I am comfortable with pets of all kinds. Im around dogs and cats most of the time these days and I enjoy playing tug-o-war or tease-pole and scratching chins, ears and fluffy butts! A few more things: -Im comfortable helping new puppies/kittens/adoptees learn any house rules and practice manners with positive reinforcement. -Im capable of administering medication with proper instructions. -Im capable of assisting elderly and/or disabled pets with a gentle touch Please reach out with any questions! I’m currently working part time and make my own schedule so I am very flexible. I’d like to take Sundays for myself so I’m not typically available, but I’m open to making special exceptions in an emergency so please reach out if needed. Your pets safety, and comfort is my top priority. I will always strive to not only meet your pets needs but make our time together something your pet looks forward to!

“Michelle is great! Communicative, reliable, and kind. Happy to have her as our dog walker and would recommend her to others looking for the same!”

About: Before moving to Minnesota I lived with my roommates dog for 4 years. Her dog, Tabby, was a part of our little roomie family and my roommate could rely on me to help out with daily care needs (i.e. watching her when she went on trips, feeding, walking, potty breaks, play time, etc.) I am now missing the presence of a fur baby in my life and would love to opportunity to work with your dog this summer and beyond. I am a kind, caring and responsible individual who you can rely on to treat your dog as if it were my own. I'm currently working part time so I have a fairly flexible schedule. I am free full time for weekend sitting Saturday-Monday. I also am free during the day some Wednesdays and every Friday. I have evening availability every weeknight except Friday. I am happy to abide by any house rules you have for your dog (i.e. furniture rules, crating, etc.) While I can't host dogs in my own home due to landlord restrictions, if I were to come into your home I would treat it as my own and leave it how I found it. I am happy to provide companionship, feeding, walks, or potty breaks depending on your needs.

“Teresa and our pup had such lovely times together! We are so grateful for Teresa’s communication, reliability, as well as patience with our young, high-energy pup. It can be hard for us to leave our dogs, however we could trust Teresa, knowing she brings safety & care. We’d totally book her again if she’d have us! Thanks again, Teresa!”

“My dog received a minor injury on a walk with Kendall. It was 100% an accident that wasn't preventable and WAS NOT caused by any negligence or action on Kendall's part. Kendall called me right away. I couldn't answer because I was driving, so she left a detailed message and also sent me a text message. She sent me pictures and stayed with my dog until she calmed down. She also promptly contacted Rover to document the incident. The next day she texted to check how my dog was doing. I really appreciate how she handled the situation. I've already booked another walk with Kendall. She's great with my dog, flexible, responsive, and reliable. I highly recommend her!”

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.

“Highly recommend! Although our dog was nervous at first, Nate spent extra time getting our puppy to trust him. They had a wonderful walk together. We would book again!”

About: I’ve petsit for neighbors and family since I can remember and we always had pets at home. I have taken care of puppy litters, German shepherds and even birds! I am in between jobs currently so I have a flexible and open schedule to be available for your fur babies when you can’t be. It’s so fun getting to know different personalities of our pets. I’m very patient and even shy dogs warm up to me quickly. I love showing love with cuddles and taking dogs on adventures.

“First experience with Jules and very happy we found her. Excited to continue working with her so we are set up to be a recurrent client.”

About: I love dogs and promise to love your pet the way you do, with TLC. I recently lost my pets and understand the importance of good care for your dog. I will do my best to accommodate any needs you have and care for your pet as well as you would. I love to baby dogs and give them lots of kisses. I have a fenced in yard and one dog to keep your dog company. I can also create them if you would like me to.
