Dog Sitting Edina

About: I’ve been taking care of animals of all kinds my whole life. I’ve breed fish, I’ve raised six puppies, I took care of three darling bearded dragons for a year, I work as a volunteer coordinator for the bond between, and I’ve even taken care of several dogs in hospice. I have genuinely loved animals all my life and cannot wait to spend the rest of my life, caring for and loving them so I hope you allow me to spend a little of my time caring for and loving your animals. I currently work part-time as a custom designer and actor as well as coordinating volunteer events for the bond between, so I have plenty of time to spend taking care of your lovely animals. A couple years ago I worked as an assistant dog trainer so I am very familiar with pet safety. I’ve also raised several puppies so I know how much they can get into stuff. I will always be keeping a careful watchful eye on any animals in the house as well as following any rules set in place by the owners and in case of any emergency, I’ve got a vet as a sister on speed dial.

“Sheila was very good at communicating with an update and pictures of my cats. She also took time to entice them to play with their favorite toy! She did a great job spending time with them!”

“Annalise was wonderful with Pico! She taught him to fetch and they played inside and outside. Annalise was available on short notice for the meet and greet and visit. She was thoughtful and caring and I highly recommend her. I plan to contact her again to help take care of Pico !”

About: I’ve been a loving and hands-on dog owner for the past 8 years. We welcomed our dog into our family when she was just 4 months old, so I’ve been there for every stage of her life—from puppyhood through adulthood. I took her to puppy training classes and have experience with regular vet visits, baths, and caring for allergies, including cleaning her ears when she needs extra attention. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable with the less glamorous parts of pet care, too! I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’ll treat your pet with the same care and attention I give my own. I currently have a very flexible schedule, so I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week, and I can be flexible around your pet’s routine and needs. I love having the opportunity to spend my time caring for animals and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m attentive to their routines, behavior, and individual needs, and I’ll follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, medications, allergies, or other special care. In a client’s home, I’ll treat their space with the same respect and care I would want for my own home. I’ll make sure doors and gates are secure, keep an eye out for anything that could be unsafe, and give pets plenty of attention and companionship. My goal is for you to feel confident knowing your pet is in caring, responsible hands while you’re away.

“Shannon is patient and caring with a relaxed vibe and my male Chinese Crested adored her! Shannon is conscience. I highly recommend her to care for your pet!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with 12+ years of experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. I’ve raised and cared for a Border Collie mix, Boxer, Pug, and Min Pin—so I’m comfortable with everything from high-energy dogs to smaller companions. I’m experienced with walking, feeding, administering medication, and making sure pets get the exercise and attention they need, including outings to dog parks. I’ve also been involved in training, so I understand the importance of consistency and positive reinforcement. Your pet will be treated like family—safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day—whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or check-ins. I’m available most evenings as well, depending on my kids’ activities, and I plan my schedule to make sure each pet receives reliable and attentive care. I offer loving, reliable care both in my home and yours. I live in a two-bedroom place near Dean Parkway, just minutes from Lake Bde Maka Ska—perfect for walks, fresh air, and dog park visits. I’m active, so your pup will get great exercise, but there’s also plenty of comfy space for downtime and cuddles. My two kids are also gentle and loving with all pets, adding to the warm, welcoming environment. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, and any special needs to make sure your pet feels right at home.

“Tori did a wonderful job looking after my cat. Based on the photos, it’s safe to say Oliver fell in love with her! Will definitely book again!”

“Abigail was great with my cat Pinecone! She took the time to find him and play with him during every visit. I get nervous about leaving him for longer trips, but I felt so confident in Abigail’s ability to provide amazing care for him!”

“Heidi was great. She really came through in a pinch. My dog was well taken care of. And the best part is you can tell she truly loves dogs. Looking forward to working with her again.”

About: I am well versed in caring for small and senior dogs. I have the patience required to care for low-to-no-vision, hard-of-hearing dogs. I have cared for multiple and currently have one of my own. I also regularly volunteer at the shelter with dogs of all backgrounds and have had animal handling training. I have cared for many animals that require daily medications so you can rest easy knowing your furry friend won't miss a dose of essential medication! I have also watched cats, birds, turtles, and small mammals like rabbits and guinea pigs. I currently work full-time but am usually home by 4pm. I would be ideal as a sitter, walker, or caretaker for your animal if you work evenings or weekends, or if your pet is comfortable alone for about 8 hours. I am quite flexible weekends and evenings so I am sure we can work something out! While I can't watch your animals in my home at this time, I can care for them in their own environment! I have been trusted many times to watch not only animals but the home in general while people are away.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have always loved spending time with them. I’m a very active person and enjoy being outside, so I’m more than happy to take dogs on walks, play with them, and make sure they get plenty of exercise. I will meet your dog at their level, whether that means keeping up with a high-energy dog or enjoying some chill relaxation together. I can also help with basic training and reinforce good habits. I’d love the opportunity to care for your dog and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I work full-time as an engineer, but after recently moving to a new state, I’ve been missing having animals around. I decided to join because I’d love to spend time with pets and give them the care and attention they deserve. I’m up early and often up late, and I’m able to check in around lunch during my workday. I’m also available after I get off work at 4 PM, when I can spend more time with your pet, take them for walks, play with them, and give them plenty of attention. On weekends, I’m available all day and can dedicate as much time as needed to caring for your pet. I treat every pet and every home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow your instructions closely, keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible, and make sure doors, gates, and other entry points are secure. I’m attentive to your pet’s behavior and needs, and I’ll always prioritize their safety and comfort. I also treat your home with respect by keeping things clean, being mindful of belongings, and leaving everything just as I found it. Most importantly, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away!

“Rachel was flexible and willing to work with my shy kitty, and made sure he had everything he needed while I was away.”

About: I have two golden retrievers who I both love dearly. One of my dogs is blind, so I’ve developed a gentle and attentive approach to help her feel safe and confident— whether it’s at home or in unfamiliar environments. My other golden and I were a certified therapy dog team for six months, which gave me the gift of seeing the greater good that dogs can do. Whenever I’m not at home with my own dogs, I am sure to find another furry friend because there’s no such thing as too much dog time! I can help on the weekends as well as early mornings and late afternoon/evenings throughout the week! I am free for occasional visits as well as more regular visits. I have a 13 year old dog who is still pretty energetic, but also takes more time for naps. He will sometimes try to escape on walks, so I make sure to be present when we’re outside. My other dog is blind, so I take extra precautions to ensure her safety in the home/outdoor environment.

About: I have always had a special way with dogs. From training and caring for my childhood golden retriever, to starting a neighborhood dog-sitting business with my sister, to walking dogs part-time ever since. I have over 15 years of professional experience walking and boarding dogs of all sizes, breeds, needs, and ages. I promise to provide individualized care to cater to your dogs specific needs! I’m currently available full-time to provide pet care. I am between jobs at the moment, giving me all the more time to spend with your dog! Generally, open availability 7-days a week. I am currently unable to board dogs at my home. But, I am available full-time to sit at your home and/or provide drop-ins and walks. I provide a very loving, attentive, and safe environment for animals. I am highly adaptable to the specific needs of each dog I care for. My years of on-leash experiences with all different dogs have built a confidence in safe handling and training strategies.

“Lisa took great pictures of our little guy having a nice time. I appreciated that she took him in and out multiple times so he could have water because he has black fur and gets hot.”

“Ben was great at taking care of our cat Boo. He was diligent in stopping by, spent some extra time with her since she was feeling lonely, gave great detailed updates, and was kind enough to bring in our mail. Would definitely request him again and recommend him to anyone!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have been a dedicated dog owner for over 8 years. For the past 3 years, I’ve also fostered pups, giving me experience with a wide range of temperaments and styles. I’m comfortable with everything from high energy personalities to shy or anxious dogs. I’m comfortable with senior dogs (my last pup was 18!), puppies and everything in between. At this time, I’m focusing on small and medium sized dogs so they will be the best match for my own dog and I can provide the best care possible. I work full time from home and am available to board in my house anytime for most lengths of time. Lots of time to play with your pup! Right now, I’m open to hosting small and medium pups—as they are the best matches for my own dog. My dog, Elliot, loves to go for walks (weather permitting) and we’d love for your pup to tag along! If the weather is bad, my yard is perfect for zoomies, ball/toy chasing, neighbor watching and basking in the sun. I have my own small pup who is energetic and loves to play, but isn’t pushy. I work from home so we are together all the time! We walk often—in the morning, at lunch and in evenings. I have a fenced in yard for potty breaks with lots of toys and enrichment. I am home most of the time, but would contain (kennel or pen if needed) when I leave and I’m also open to pups that aren’t kenneled but safe to leave out (I’d put away my own dog).

“Caitlin was responsive and easy to communicate with. We also appreciated the multiple videos she shared and her taking into consideration our cats favorite toys for playtime.”

About: I’ve lived with dogs or cats most of my adult life. I travel often so I understand the need to make your pet feel at home with someone who will love them the way you do. I work from home, so as long as you have reliable internet I can be at your place taking care of your pet all day in order to meet their needs. I only care for pets in other peoples homes. I will let them out as you require, walk daily if needed and give them all the attention they need.

“Natalie is so kind, very trustworthy and open to anything you need help with while you’re gone. She asked if it was Ok to bring along her daughter which was great, our kitty really seemed to love her! She played with her on the floor and gave her lots of attention. It is not uncommon for our kitty to hide when new visitors come over but this wasn’t the case this time! It was so reassuring getting photos of our pets while we were gone too. Our 3 guinea pigs were well taken care of as well. I highly recommend Natalie and we hope to use her again, Thank you!”
