Pet Sitting Downtown East

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life: dogs, cats, hamsters, snakes, fish, turtles, you name it. I also work from home so your pet can get steady company and attention during the day, not just a quick in-and-out visit. Happy to water your plants during drop-ins too, so everything’s thriving when you get back. Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me for years to feed, check in on, and snuggle their pets when they’re away, and I take that trust seriously. When a friend’s cat needed an emergency vet visit while they were overseas, I was there to handle it and keep them updated every step of the way. I also take direction well so if you’re working on training with your dog, I’ll follow your routine closely to keep things consistent while you’re away. I’m currently working from home so I am flexible with daytime walks and visits! I’m available for walks and drop-in visits, usually between 11am and 6pm I treat others space with the same respect I’d want mine to be treated with: I’m careful with entry access and making sure doors and gates are secure before I leave. I always double check food, water, and litter areas. If anything comes up, I stay calm, act quickly, and keep you informed the whole time.

“Tanya is the best. When she dropped un she saw a perishable delivery and offered to put it away for me. I really appreciated that. Mre importantly she is great with animals!”

About: Throughout grade school I helped take care of our family’s golden retriever and even taught him a few tricks including how to balance a tennis ball on his nose (he was very talented). More recently I’ve been trusted to watch several of my friend’s dogs while they’ve been out of town. I wouldn’t say I have any special skills, but I work from home and love going for walks/runs, so you definitely don’t have to worry about your dog getting bored with me around! I’m currently working from home in my pet-friendly apartment in Northeast Minneapolis. There are a ton of great walking paths around my place, so I like to get outside as much as I can (with or without four-legged company). I generally have soccer games 2-3 days per week (typically Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday), but I wouldn’t be gone for more than 2-3 hours. I do live in a studio apartment which may be a little cramped for larger dogs, but it also means it’s easier for me to keep an eye on them! I also have access to a pet washing station if needed.

About: I have years of hands-on pet care experience, including caring for my own cat and providing babysitting for both dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, and following specific care routines. I’m patient, attentive, and love building trust with animals so they feel safe and comfortable. I treat every pet like family and always prioritize their well-being, safety, and happiness. I am available for part-time pet care in the evenings after 6 PM on weekdays due to my full-time work schedule. I am also available on weekends with more flexible hours. I do not have a car, so I focus on local clients and can provide dog walking and in-home pet care at the client’s residence only. I am not able to board pets in my home, but I am reliable, consistent, and committed to giving pets attentive and loving care during my visits. I provide pet care in my client’s home by following their established routines to keep pets comfortable and stress-free in their familiar environment. This includes feeding, providing fresh water, walking dogs, cleaning litter boxes, and engaging pets in play and companionship. I always follow owner instructions carefully, including any special dietary needs or medications. I focus on safety, patience, and building trust with each pet so they feel secure while their owner is away. I do not board pets in my home, but I am available for in-home visits and dog walking services only.

“Teresa was attentive and communicative as our cat sitter. She kept up with the schedule despite blizzard conditions over the weekend. We came home to a happy cat.”

About: I feel that cats and dogs naturally tend to be close to me, which might be related to my personality. When I was helping my friend take care of a dachshund, I was told that he didn't like to interact with male beings. But on the second day of taking care of the dachshund, he would often circle around me and want to play with me with toys. I work in healthcare industry so basically I work remotely almost every day Therefore, I have the flexibility to play with the pets! Also, I live alone so they can be around me all the time, they will not be feeling left out! Regular feeding and freshwater is essential! I will also spend an amount of time every day to play with dogs! at last, I will provide a clean and pet friendly environment for them!
