Pet Sitting Columbia Heights

“Lizzy was an excellent sitter, she was able to come support last minute and was patient with some issues getting in the building which I really appreciated! She was great with Dexter and completed everything that was required during a couple quick visits. Would recommend 10/10 and I hope to work with her again. Thank you Lizzy!”

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.

“Christy did a great job checking on our kitties - getting them fed their evening wet food, cleaning their litter boxes, and making sure they got plenty of pets and love. We loved her updates and the photos she shared from all the drop ons!”

Elizabeth J.

“Abigail was amazing! Checked on my 2 kitties while I was out of town. One even needed a daily pill. She provided pictures and updates with each visit. 100% better than I could've asked for”

Marshall W.

“Ashley was very accommodating was able to book last minute and squeeze me in and still meet my kiddos needs. Communicative and fast response to any questions or concerns I had. Thanks”

Julian B.

“Crystal was so great with my last-minute travel plans and was very helpful when we had issues with my keys! She took great care of the ladies and sent lots of pictures!!”

Catherine D.

“Shawntil was great. She followed my cat's care instructions, she was quick to respond, wrote updates, and posted very cute pictures daily. I'd trust Shawntil to care for my cat again. I would recommend her if you're looking for drop-in cat visits.”

Greta G.

“Teresa did a great job as always taking care of Beans, Norman and Baby Girl. It's great to know they're in great hands while I'm away and I love all the updates she sends. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a great pet sitter!”

Chelsea E.

“Pamela was fantastic with our two cats! She was always timely in her drop-ins, gave comprehensive updates, and kept our cats happy and entertained. We highly recommend her for anyone else looking for a sitter!”

Ben H.

“Sarah is great! Luna loves her time with Sarah and I’m sure is happy to see her every time we are out. Every time we go out of town I know I can trust Sarah to take care of Luna as if was her own. Thank you Sarah for all you did while we were out.”

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.

“Second time with Carolina walking my dog Blair - she does such a great job and sends tons of sweet photos! I feel very well informed and trust that she took great care of my baby while I’m out and about. I will be booking with her again soon!”

Elisa S.

“Sydney was great with our two cats! Friendly and communicative and left great check in notes and pictures! We would definitely book with her again.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 15 years and have become the go-to dog sitter in my community. Spending time with animals has always been something I genuinely love, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply curling up for cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I recently graduated from the University of Minnesota and am currently in the process of finding the right full time job, which means I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability to care for your pets. Whether you need weekday visits, weekend care, overnight stays, or last-minute help, I’m happy to work with your schedule. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I always take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so I can provide the best possible care. In your home, I’ll carefully follow your instructions, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any special requests. I’ll also treat your home with the same respect I would my own. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible and provide plenty of love, attention, and companionship. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: Hi! I’m a kindergarten teacher with a flexible summer schedule, which gives me plenty of time to provide walks, drop-in visits, and quality care for your furry family members. I’ve always had a love for dogs and enjoy spending time outside on walks, playing fetch or tug-of-war, and, of course, giving plenty of cuddles and belly rubs. Every pet deserves attention, exercise, and lots of love while their family is away. At home, I have a puppy named B who keeps me on my toes! She loves meeting new people, playing tug-of-war, and—unfortunately—digging in the dirt whenever she gets the chance. Raising an energetic puppy has given me even more hands-on experience with training, patience, routines, and understanding each dog’s unique personality and needs. I know that your pet is more than just a pet—they’re a beloved member of your family. I treat every dog in my care with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. Safety is always my top priority, and I’m committed to making sure your pet feels comfortable, secure, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. Whether you need a drop-in visit, a walk, or dog sitting, I’d love to help make life a little easier for your family while giving your best friend the care they deserve. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup, and I look forward to walking your best friend 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: Hello! We are a pet-loving family in Northeast Minneapolis who miss having a dog around the house and would love to fill that void by helping you out in your time of need! We unfortunately had to say goodbye to our beloved golden retriever a few years ago and while we'd love to add a dog to the house again, with two preschoolers our home life can be a handful and it just isn't the right time for the full commitment of dog ownership. That's why we love to open our hearts and home to furry guests! If you're visiting my profile for cat boarding, it is very much a cat-loving house as well - we have 2 cats in our home. I work a hybrid schedule, with flexibility and leniency to choose when I go into office. Daytime schedules are flexible for potty breaks, walks, and stimulation. Always available in the evenings to get some energy out before bedtime. As you can see in the photos, our daughters have inherited the pet-loving genes from their parents - your pet will never be without attention! We have a decent-sized yard but not fenced in. We do have a long leash we can attach in the backyard so your pet can be with us while we're playing outside. Our neighborhood is very sidewalk friendly and bustling with other dog owners. Your dog will always be leashed when out of the house. We are also very friendly with the neighbors next door, fully-fenced, and can use their backyard for off leash time. We have two cats in our home who are very sweet and have had no issues with any of our guests. But our standard is just to create separate floors (unless it's a known guest) so there need not be any interaction during your pet's stay to avoid conflict. One cat tends to make herself scarce during our guests' visits, while the other watches curiously and without incident. Our basement is finished and I always stay down there with our guests and sleep on the couch when we have visitors (they're welcome to cuddle!). As for cat boarding - the same as above applies, we can always create separate areas for litter/feeding for your cat and the resident cats. You will get frequent photo and text updates throughout your pet's stay - take a look at my reviews to confirm. Apologies if the stats on my profile don't indicate 100%, as I tend to keep in touch over text messages as opposed to Rover's messaging (which is what counts towards that metric).

“What a blessing to find Juli! She is so knowledgeable about dogs and has so much love for them. My Valentine has a special bond with her. I recommend her without any hesitation. Thanks Juli!”

Sandie S.

“Reagan is honestly the greatest. Prompt, a good communicator, extremely kind, and very accommodating are just some of the things I love about her. When she stayed overnight in my home she left it cleaner than I did! I have many pets and she followed all directions perfectly. Cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you for everything, Reagan ♥️ hope to see you soon!”

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: I have always loved and cared for animals in general. I grew up with a Puggle who I passed at 18yrs old (2021), and we added a Pomeranian/Pekingese babe to our family in 2013. I grew up scared of cats, but I have my own now! His name is Panda and he’s 6 now! I taught him how to sit and lay down like a dog. He’s quite stubborn (like a lot of cats), but we practiced definitely made perfect. I’m also a proud doggy godmother to my best friend’s Boxer/Mastiff, Nova. I’m that person who will stop in the middle of the road, get out to direct traffic for a family of ducks to cross. I’ve had to pullover to help dogs find they’re home again. I’m my family’s and friend’s go-to for animal sitting (and human sitting). They rely on my extremely high level of patience and love towards animals, and they also appreciate how stern I am when they misbehave. I’ve got your pet’s back and yours! I’m currently a stay-at-home mom for my infant daughter. My schedule is wide open! She loves going on walks with me and is great with noises of all types. I'm very by the book, so let me know your restrictions and instructions are and trust that they'll be followed. Microchipped or not, your pet is just as important as my pet. Clients usually come back to their space in better condition than it was left to me in.
