Molly took fantastic care of our young, play-oriented cat, sending us photo updates after every visit. She was also very responsive and flexible in our pre-trip communications. Highly recommended! Would hire again in a heartbeat.

Christy was great with our cats while we were away for 3 weeks. Very dependable, spent time with the cats playing and petty them, and even fed our fish. We’d absolutely work with Christy again and highly recommend her!

Teresa did a fabulous job caring for my senior cat! Kate's a hider and Teresa always made sure to find her and say hi, and Kate even came out and ate in front of Teresa, which speaks to her warmth and how comfortable even shy pets are around her.

About: Hi! I'm an animal lover who provides attentive, reliable pet care. As the adult account holder and caregiver, I will be responsible for all aspects of your pet's care, including walks, feeding, medication administration (if needed), and supervision. I also have a 10-year-old daughter who loves animals and may occasionally accompany me during walks or visits. Because of this, I ask that pets be comfortable around respectful, animal-savvy children. My daughter's presence is always supervised by me, and your pet's safety and well-being remain my top priority. I look forward to getting to know you and your furry family member! I work long days Mondays through Wednesdays but have more flexibility outside of that. Can accommodate before and after work visits. I love long walks! I cannot care for pets in our home but can come to you! Your pet MUST be kid friendly in case my 10 year old comes with!

About: I am a dedicated dog lover with hands-on experience caring for large breeds, especially strong, energetic pups like German Shepherds, Huskies, and other working breeds. I’m comfortable and confident handling dogs who need a calm, steady leader — including those who may be reactive to other dogs, people, or environmental triggers. I also have experience caring for dogs with special medical needs. I have experience applying ointments, eye drops, and administering pills and liquid medicines. I understand that cats have unique personalities and routines, and I’m comfortable with everything from feeding schedules and litter box care to administering medications and giving space to shy or independent cats. I provide calm, attentive care and make sure every pet feels safe, respected, and comfortable in their own home while you’re away. I like to be transparent when I take care of other peoples fur babies and will often share updates via text with added videos and photos of the time I spend with your pet, as well as time stamped detail of feeding, playtime, and potty updates. Pet care is a planned and consistent part of my daily and weekly routine. I organize my schedule to ensure I have dedicated time for walks, drop-ins, feeding, play, and companionship without feeling rushed. I build in flexibility to accommodate different pet needs, including early mornings, evenings, and weekends when needed. Because I plan my time carefully, I’m able to be reliable, punctual, and fully present for every pet in my care. I care for pets by following their established routines as closely as possible to help them feel safe and comfortable. In my client’s home, I make sure feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box care, and medications are handled exactly as instructed. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, energy level, and any behavioral or medical needs. For dogs, I focus on safe, structured walks, positive reinforcement, and calm handling. For cats, I provide attentive care while respecting their boundaries, keeping their environment clean, and offering affection at their comfort level. I always prioritize safety, clear communication, and leave detailed updates so pet parents feel confident their pets are in good hands.

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.

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.

Krista is a genuinely cheerful person who truly loves animals, and it shows. She is incredibly professional and precise, following all my briefing instructions perfectly and managing a somewhat complex key-handover without any issues. Not only did she ensure that food, water, and the litter box were always perfectly clean, but she also spent time giving my cat long, fun play sessions. I felt completely at ease leaving my cat in her hands

We had to find a sitter for our cats during an emergency, and we truly couldn’t have asked for anyone better than Sofia! She responded to us right away and was more than willing to care for our three kitties while we were out of the country. She has done an amazing job spending time with them, feeding them, giving them their medications, and even cleaning up around the house to keep everything tidy. We could also see how comfortable and happy our cats were with her, which says a lot that she’s clearly a true cat person! Sofia has also been incredibly flexible with our schedules and very respectful of our home and space. We highly recommend her, and we will absolutely book with her again whenever she’s available!
