Pet Sitting in El Duende

“Chase was absolutely amazing with our dog. He took care of her very well and made sure that she was as happy as possible. He also took stunning photos of our dog during the stay.”

About: I have cared for dogs since I was a child. I have experience caring for dogs of all life stages. Animals are my everything, and I love getting to know the individual personality of the dogs and cats that I care for. I work from home two full days and three half days a week. I am also home and available to watch your dog most weekends. As a mom to two puppies, I fully understand the importance of following the family’s routine. I will follow every instruction you leave to the T. I also require every dog that I care for to be fully vaccinated to protect my dogs and yours.

“Mason was an invaluable help while I was away and took excellent care of my 2 cats.”

“Grace was a fantastic sitter and took wonderful care of my sweet Clementine! Having reliable care for my baby while I’m gone is a huge concern and with Grace at the helm I was able to enjoy my time away and know Clem had everything she needed and more. I can’t recommend Grace enough.”

“Was super nice and I knew my pet was in great hands. Consistently provide feedback when ever we asked and always gave extra updates too which was super helpful and made us feel a lot better. The best thing overall was the puppy report card”

About: I am an avid pet-loving White Bear Lake local who would love to watch your pet & house-sit while you are away. I do dog walking, dog and cat sitting, and house sitting as needed at clients homes. Pet care has been a crucial part of my early twenties lifestyle. I have always been an animal lover, but cannot own a pet myself due to where I live. If I am able to watch someone's furry friends, it makes my day! I keep pets food schedules as close to what they are used to as possible, as well as stay overnight, play with them, and take them on walks. I love to explore my clients backyard when I am pet sitting, whether that be a trail to follow, a pond to walk around, or a neighborhood to admire. I am an active runner, so if your pet likes to run, we can certaintly hit the road and get out some energy! I am always mindful of traffic and keep pets on their leash, unless specific directions are given. We will go on a great adventure, but safety is my top priority.

About: I grew up taking care of a big, sweet lab and spending time with my extended family’s large dogs. Since then I’ve had the privilege of bonding with the dogs of friends and past partners. I’ve been professionally dog sitting full-time for 2+ years, and off and on for 5. I follow the lead of the dog owner with commands and whether to have the dog(s) on leash or not. I’ve had many experiences of simple neighborhood walks, longer hikes in the wild, dog parks, car rides, giving medication, taking the dog to the vet when needed, and lots of playtime and cuddling. :) I love getting to know the unique personality of each dog I care for, and I do my best to make sure they have quality time and care while their person is away. I am a homebody + I am building an online business, so I am available to give steady presence to the pets, plants, and home I’m caring for. I value clear, direct communication, and I appreciate having detailed directions on how you would like me to care for your pet(s) and home. I’m very self sufficient and capable of dealing with unforeseen circumstances if they arise. I keep my space tidy and clean and will leave your home in as good or better shape than I found it. Please provide a clean and welcoming space for my arrival. I am careful to lock all doors/secure your home, bring in your mail and packages, and water your plants.

About: As a devoted pet sitter with over five years of experience, including a professional background as a veterinary assistant, I bring a heartfelt blend of expertise and genuine love to every pet I care for. I’m passionate about animals, and my extensive experience ensures that your furry friends receive top-notch attention, whether it’s for their daily needs, special care, or in an emergency. I know every pet is unique, and I customize my services to fit their individual personalities and requirements, offering not just care, but also companionship and affection. When you choose me as your pet sitter, you can rest easy knowing your pets are in the hands of a seasoned professional who treats them like family. Taking care of pets is my passion, and I love making it a part of my everyday life. I’m here for all the meals, playtimes, and overnight snuggles, ensuring your pet feels loved and cared for around the clock. My Daily Routine: Morning Check-ins and Feedings: Each day starts with saying good morning to your furry friend and making sure they have a hearty breakfast. It's a special moment where we check in and start the day on a positive note. Exercise and Playtime: After breakfast, it's time for some fun! Whether it’s a brisk walk, a game of fetch, or some gentle play indoors, I tailor each session to match your pet’s energy and mood. Regular Breaks: Throughout the day, I make sure your pet has plenty of opportunities for potty breaks, meals, and some downtime. These regular breaks keep their routine predictable and comforting. Overnight Stays: Continuous Care and Companionship: I know some pets need that extra bit of companionship at night, so I offer overnight stays to make sure they never feel lonely. We’ll stick to their usual bedtime routine, creating a peaceful and secure environment for a good night's sleep. Calm and Secure Environment: I’m all about keeping things familiar and comforting, making bedtime a smooth transition with lots of cuddles and reassurance. Flexibility and Dedication: Adaptable Schedule: Life can be unpredictable, and I’m always ready to adjust my schedule to meet the unique needs of your pet. Whether it’s an extra play session or a last-minute overnight stay, I’m here to help. Attentive and Loving Care: Above all, my goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy. I treat every pet like they’re my own, giving them all the attention and affection they deserve. With me, your pet is not just cared for—they're cherished. Every meal, every play session, every quiet moment is a chance to show them love and make them feel special. When it comes to caring for pets, I always tailor my approach to the unique needs of each furry friend to ensure their comfort, safety, and happiness. In my home, I create a welcoming and secure environment with designated areas for play, rest, and meals. I stick to a structured routine that includes regular feeding times, exercise, and fun enrichment activities to keep pets both mentally and physically stimulated. For those with special needs or health concerns, I develop personalized care plans and closely monitor their well-being.

About: Pets and animals are precious to me. I’ve had small animals and medium dogs all my life. They deserve the best loving care. I have watched cats for friends. I’m a retired 48 yr old and looking for jobs I enjoy. I’ve provided medication for my own. So I can do those things. I understand dog signals and read what they want most times. I can tell when they are feeling bad, scared and happy. I try to calm and provide security for them as best as I can. I am retired and available for your pet(s). I am available most days and nights. I do have a couple days that I have Zoom meetings for couple hours which are Thursday 7 to 9:30 pm and Sunday’s 10-11:50 am. Some Saturday morning’s but I am flexible. I can pick up pets 3 hrs before these hours. I have a wide open yard but I don’t let dogs just roam on their own. I walk dogs outside on leashes. Most of my small dogs stay inside for safety. I walk my own dogs at dog parks when no people are around or go for small outings to get fresh air and a walk. I can watch at my place or near your place or hotel. Whatever makes you feel at ease and comfortable. My daughters small dogs are friendly. There are 3 yorkies and 2 chihuahuas. There is a room I can keep them to feel safe if they feel afraid. They can roam around the house. They are in safe loving hands because I want the owner to feel at ease and not to worry.

About: Working at Chicago Dog Runner 24 years ago started my journey towards providing the most exceptional pet care. Since moving out of the city, I’ve expanded my sitting to include chickens, donkeys, ducks, and more! I’ve had lots of puppy and senior dog/cat experience as well. Also, I joined Therapaws Michigan almost 10 years ago, helping board and train therapy animals and it has been the absolute best experience. Being an EMT, I understand the importance of timely medication administration and can give injections as well as oral/topical medications. I take pride in communication and photo ops! Having special needs animals in my life, I take care in educating myself with pets behavioral and health concerns and am always open to any conversation and adjustments regarding your pet’s care. Working from home I have a very flexible schedule and can follow your pet routine as required. I’m able to adapt and change scheduling as needed. I have a reliable pet friendly vehicle with a ramp for senior pup access. I believe keeping your pet’s schedule consistent is important and helps keep them comfortable and happy while you’re away. Please share details about feeding and/or walking/potty times, I am happy to accommodate.

“We all love Lynn!”

“Very happy with the time Amanda took with Peter. Her experience with animals was made very clear with the interactions between her and Peter. Peter is very shy around new people oftentimes, not the case with Amanda. Amanda went above and beyond what I expected and I will definitely be using her services in the future!”

“Helen has been very responsive and accommodating with our requests. She handles our puppy as if it was her own. She provides an update and a pic for every visit which is comforting as the dog owner. Thanks Helen!!”

About: I’ve always had a dog since as long as I can remember. I’ve always had a love for animals. I take care of my family’s pets while on vacation or just on a weekend trip. I’m do work full time but when I’m not working, I’m loving on my fur babies. I have plenty of time to care for yours and mine. I live in a very rural area where your dog can run around and go on walks with me off leash if well behaved. If not, we can still go on walks, just with a leash. ☺️

“my dogs loved him. They were excited to see him and then were able to settle down once he was here for a tiny bit. Look forward to having him come back. He’s very good. I liked him too”

Kelly A.

“Brittany did great with Rocko who is a new year old from the shelter. She even taught him to high five and lay down! Would definitely recommend and will continue to use her services.”

About: I currently have 3 dogs (pitbull, red healer, chihuahua). Professionally worked at a doggie daycare and I just have a very sensitive heart for dogs/cats. I have another gig job ( I deliever for Amazon) so I can be very flexible. I really enjoy the freedoms of making my own schedules. My home sits on a state highway, so I am very vigilant about secure fencing. I do not allow my own dogs to be outside unless I am home.
