Pet Sitting Crystal

“Jordan took great care of my cat when I was out of town for a week! I appreciate how he had sent many photos each time he dropped by my apartment to visit my cat, and he had excellent communication. I will definitely be reaching out to him again when I'm in need of a cat sitter again :)”

Sofia V.

“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!”

“Maia took wonderful care of our cat, Princess Leia, while we were out of town for four days. She was an excellent communicator, keeping us updated and giving us peace of mind that everything was going smoothly. When we returned home, both our house and our cat were clearly well cared for. Princess Leia was happy to see us, but she also seemed calm, relaxed, and content, which is always the best sign that she's been in good hands. Maia's drop-in visits gave us confidence that our cat was getting the attention and care she needed while we were away. We would absolutely trust Maia with our home and pets again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring pet sitter.”

“AJ did an awesome job for us!!”

“Andy did an awesome job checking in our senior kitty. Instructions were followed, our home was left clean, and Andy took the time to get to know our cat, provide some additional treats, and get some play time in. We really appreciated the communication and the photos!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have experience caring for pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I was lucky enough to care for my own senior dog, Rocky, who lived to 16 and was truly my best friend. That experience taught me how important patience, consistency, and paying attention to a dog’s individual needs are, especially as they get older. I also currently have a puppy of my own, so I’m very comfortable with puppy energy, potty breaks, crate routines, playtime, and keeping a consistent schedule. I’ve cared for dogs ranging from Bernese Mountain Dogs to Chihuahua mixes, so I’m comfortable with everything from big, energetic dogs to smaller puppies. I genuinely care about getting to know each dog and making them feel comfortable and loved. I’m attentive to their behavior, routines, eating and bathroom habits, and energy levels, and I’ll always keep you updated while you’re away. Whether your pup needs exercise, enrichment, companionship, or just some extra love, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I work full-time during the day, but I’ve intentionally built my schedule so I have plenty of availability for pet care before and after work, as well as on weekends. I’m available for morning and evening visits, walks, and drop-ins, and I’m happy to work with your dog’s regular routine. Having a puppy of my own has also made me very comfortable building pet care into my daily routine. I understand how important consistency is for dogs, so I’ll do my best to keep their normal feeding, potty, exercise, and play schedules while you’re away. I’ll always communicate my availability clearly and make sure I can give your pup the time and attention they deserve before accepting a booking. I take safety and trust very seriously when caring for someone’s pet. I’ll always follow your instructions and your dog’s normal routine, including feeding, potty breaks, medications if needed, and any specific behaviors or precautions you want me to know about. During walks and drop-ins, I keep a close eye on your pup and make sure they are secure before opening doors, gates, or leaving the home. I’m also mindful of things that could be unsafe for dogs, such as food, household items, or anything they might try to get into. I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll make sure doors are locked, your pet is comfortable and secure when I leave, and I’ll keep you updated so you can feel confident that your pup is in good hands.

“Sue is a very kind and compassionate person. She took care of my senior dog Joey. I could tell Joey was very comfortable with her by seeing all the pictures of him and the many detailed texts that I received from Sue. Would use Sue again in a heartbeat!”

Karen P.

“Marla is such a lovely pet sitter! Always sends photos and notes about the cats. Brings my packages inside and generally looks out for the place. Grateful to have found her!”

Olivia L.

“This is our second time having Lauren take care of our cats when we’re out of town. She is very easy to work with, her communication before and during the visits is great, and ahe sends lots of pictures! I would highly recommend Lauren 👍🏻”

Betsy C.

“We couldn't ask for a more reliable and caring person and will definitely book with them again! Loved the photos, our dog was so happy. Allowed us to enjoy the wedding we went to.”

Ann I.

“Alexandra did a great job caring for our two rambunctious and kind of difficult dogs. This was the first time we used a dog sitter that wasn’t a family member and our pups were well cared for and happy and comfortable when we returned! The house was also just as we left it, which is a bonus. Thanks for spending time with them!”

About: When you have to be away, I want to provide a compassionate space for your four legged family member to be cared for. I understand how much dogs and cats add to our lives and how they deserve the best we can give them. And next to you, I am the best. I hold a work ethic that allows you to rely on me to provide for your pet and get their needs met. I can stay at your home, drop in, or open my home. Let's collaborate together and create the most stress free plan for your dog(s) or cat(s). Then relax while you confidently know that I will be tending to all the details we arrange for the health and happiness of your loved one. I work part time and share a lot of boarding care with my partner. Our schedules overlap so your pup will have very little time that they might have to be alone. When your pup stays with me in my home we try to make their stay as comfortable as possible. There are areas for both chill time and outside time; with dedicated space for rest and play as well as an easily accessible fenced yard.

“If you are reading this review you may have some apprehension trying to find a responsible, dependable and caring person to watch over your treasured furry friends. Look no further! Jennifer is an absolute gem! She was an incredible caretaker to our two young cats while my family took a weeklong trip to the Bahamas. We were quite nervous as this had been the longest we had been away from them and we had had a poor experience prior with a sitter over a long weekend a couple months earlier. Jennifer was the complete opposite of our previous sitter! She went above and beyond! She sent several videos and pictures each day, which put our mind at ease. We could see how much she played with the cats and we could see they were still up to their funny shenanigans. We felt relieved to see that the cats looked happy and were well cared for. Jennifer sent daily texts to keep us updated and even communicated concerns like some ice forming on our front walkway and asked if she would like us to salt it. She took our garbage and recycling out and brought it back in. She did so much without even being asked. Jennifer is the sweetest, most caring sitter you could ask for. We feel we really lucked out in finding her.”

About: Eight years ago, I had the privilege of finding my soul dog, who taught me just how beautiful and meaningful the bond between humans and animals can be. Learning to understand her unique personality, nonverbal communication, and individual needs deepened my patience, empathy, and intentionality in caring for animals. My sweet girl sadly passed away in November 2025, but the love and lessons she gave me continue to shape how I connect with animals today. I find so much joy in getting to know each animal as an individual, building trust, respecting their boundaries, and providing loving, attentive care that meets their unique needs. I currently share my home with two cats, and our household regularly welcomes dogs we're caring for. I also have experience house-sitting for friends and family, allowing their pets to remain comfortable in their familiar environment while maintaining their routines as closely as possible. I believe animals communicate so much when we take the time to listen and observe. Whether your pet is playful and outgoing or shy and needs a little extra patience, my priority is to help them feel safe, respected, loved, and understood while you're away. I'm currently self-employed, which allows me plenty of flexibility throughout the week to accommodate your pet's needs and routines! I'm available for drop-in visits, house sitting, and daily walks, including weekdays and weekends. I enjoy incorporating time with animals into my daily routine and am happy to coordinate schedules to ensure your pets receive consistent, attentive, and loving care. Whether it's a quick check-in, a long walk, or overnight companionship, I'm committed to making sure your pets feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. Creating a safe, comfortable, and trusting environment is my priority. My home has a fenced yard and two cats who are accustomed to dogs, though I prefer a meet-and-greet before confirming stays to ensure everyone feels comfortable. I can also accommodate crate-trained dogs. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I respect their individual needs, boundaries, and routines, providing patient, attentive care so they feel safe, loved, and understood while you're away.

About: Dog friendly home with a fenced in backyard Fur mom to Theo (15 month old German Shorthair Pointer mix) My dog loves to be around other dogs 1 block from Victory Memorial Parkway/Theo Wirth Parkway 5 minute drive to a dog park 5-10 minute drive to Downtown/Uptown Mpls My favorite thing to do is spend time with my playful pup, Theo! We enjoy going on walks, car rides, trips to the dog park, and playing fetch in our fenced in backyard. I know it can be hard to be away from your dog. Allow me to ease your mind. I have a lot of love to give, so while your pup is in my care, they will be loved as if they were my own!

About: Ever since I was a kid, I begged my parents for a dog every day of my life. I never got one as a kid, but I have sure made up for it since! I got involved with Grey Face Rescue and have been fostering dogs for the last 5 years. I am very proud to have gotten seven foster dogs to their forever homes. If it was up to me, I would have many dogs of my own, but I have a crazy work schedule in the summer, which would not allow me to care for a dog. In the fall, winter, and spring I love to bring animals into my home. During these months, I work from home and I am able to give many walks and lots of attention! My fosters typically get two 30 minute walks a day, which is something I also really enjoy. If your dog comes to stay with me, they would get to meet my child who loves dogs just as much as I do, and my cat who pretty much stays clear of any dog that is brought into the home. I look forward to meeting your furry friend! I work from home and have constant availability to meet any dog’s schedule. I love providing them with multiple daily walks and any sort of engagement they need. There are no off-limits areas for your dog in my home. All of our furniture is open to pets. We are very well-versed in keeping food off the counter and ensuring that is a safe environment for your dog. I even have multiple size dog beds from my years of fostering as well as toys, bowls and all the equipment so they can travel lightly!

“Hanna was fantastic! Great with the dogs & really responsive to get services set up. We had great peace of mind knowing that Hannah was taking care of our dogs!”

About: There’s something about a dog’s loyalty, personality, and the way they become such an important part of our lives that I’ve always cherished. My love for dogs began at a very young age; at just six years old, I had a Poodle of my own and was already learning the responsibility and joy of caring for a dog. Throughout my life, I’ve proudly had dogs of my own and cared for friends’ and family members’ dogs while they were away. We recently lost our beloved German Shepherd/Husky to old age, and although his loss was difficult, it reminded me how much joy dogs bring into our lives. I would love the opportunity to share that extra love and attention with another amazing dog while their family is away. I’m a lifelong dog lover with more than two decades of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments, ranging from 2 to 165 pounds. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality, quirks, routines, and preferences and tailoring my care to help them feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I care for every dog as if they were my own, providing plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, affection, and walks when weather permits and with the owner’s approval. My 60-by-55-foot fully fenced yard provides plenty of space to play, explore, and enjoy multiple potty breaks throughout the day. I also work from home with a flexible schedule, allowing me to be present and attentive to my furry guests. Whether your pup loves cuddles or prefers personal space, I’m happy to follow their lead and respect their individual needs. With experience caring for dogs who are anxious, fearful, reactive, or more challenging to handle, I’ve developed strong observational skills and can recognize signs of stress, discomfort, illness, or injury. I’m also comfortable administering medications, following specific care instructions and routines, and providing basic first aid when needed. Most importantly, I love spoiling my furry guests because, in my opinion, they’re on vacation too! 🐾 You’re welcome to bring their regular food, treats, favorite toys, bed, blanket, or other comfort items to help make their stay familiar and special. I’m dependable in all weather conditions and always prioritize the safety, health, and comfort of every guest. If my calendar shows that I’m unavailable, please feel free to reach out anyway. I’m flexible whenever possible and happy to see if we can find a time that works. I look forward to meeting you and welcoming your furry family member into our home! ****** ******** ***** I’m proud to share that I’ve had the opportunity to volunteer with Can Do Canines and regularly participate in dog-related events. These experiences have been incredibly rewarding, and I’m grateful to be able to contribute to the care, training, and support of these remarkable dogs as they prepare to change lives. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to be readily available and provide pets with plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. I also have a fully fenced-in yard, which is ideal for multiple potty breaks, outdoor playtime, and exercise throughout the day. Caring for a pet comes down to consistently meeting their physical, emotional, and health needs. The exact details vary depending on the animal, of course! -I have a 60-by-55-foot fully fenced yard and pet gates in the house (if needed); -I love to go for walks with pets; -I love to cuddle and play with pets if that’s what they are into; -I feed them a balanced diet per owners’ instructions. Fresh water is always available. -I’d love to comb them if tools are provided from owners; -I provide lots of daily update pictures and/or videos; -And would be open to any reasonable requests owners might have.

“Brilliant as always. My puppy loves her, and my skittish cats tolerate being in her presence, which is frankly more than I could have hoped for (usually they hide). Will definitely keep booking!”

About: I've been hanging with cats and dogs since I was a teenager. I was the Friendly Neighborhood Baby/Dog/Cat/House Sitter and spent much of my adolescence caring for my community's animal companions. Despite not having any pets in the home during my childhood, I had lots of exposure to animals from a young age. I pet sat for my neighbors, friends, and family for many years and finally got some pets of my own in adulthood. I have house, crate, walk, and obedience trained two puppies and have had some experience retraining older pets and rescues. I have, unfortunately, also cared for an elderly cat through his passing and a terminally ill dog through his passing. I have been working professionally as a pet sitter for three years and have never felt more fulfilled! I'd love to meet you and your pets and provide excellent care for your loved ones! I work a hybrid job and am in office 2x a week in Maple Grove. I tend to have the flexibility to pick which days and can almost always leave over my lunch hour to run back to your pets if need be! Additionally, I work as an actor, singer, and theatre director outside of my 9-5 so I might have rehearsals/performances that take me away from the house but I always make sure our schedules are compatible before booking. Constant care available for a 25% rate increase. I am a very conscientious and safety minded person. I know that it is a risk to open your home to someone from the internet and is a lot to entrust them with the care of your family members. I don't take that responsibility lightly. Making sure your home and your pets are safe and well cared for is my priority.
