About: Hello, My name is Wendy. My godson calls me Nini for short. Cat Info (cat stays indoors, no matter if they are outdoor friendly) I am experienced in feline care, behavior, medication, and providing low stress. Your cat gets someone who reads their body language, not just cuddles. Dog info- I also provide dog walking and drop-in visits for dogs in your home. I don't board at my apartment, all care happens where your pet feels safest. Message with your pet's name, routine, and any quirks you would like for me to know. Serious inquiries only please. Currently working part-time, but I am available this holiday season. Please only serious inquiries. I will try to be as flexible as possible. Available for night shifts as well. I customize my services to fit your pet's needs and routines. You’ll receive daily updates and photos, so you won’t miss your furry friend while you’re away. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from energetic puppies to calm seniors.

“Robyn is beyond great with my dog! We started with a meet and greet walk that went very well but after my dog was shy without me there. Robyn was very good at helping Trusty warm up to her! She is always open to suggestions when it comes to me and my dog's needs. Now Trusty absolutely adores her! She's always very punctual, takes good pictures,and leaves good notes on her walks. When she isn't able to walk my dog, she has notified me far earlier than what I expected. I leave for work at 5:00 in the morning and I've had time to readjust before I leave. Hopefully recommended!”

About: I have been watching pets since I was 13. My family and friends have always relied on me for years as their primary sitter. I have a wide range of experience from puppies to seniors. Trained in dog body language and behavior to correct inappropriate play and limit incidences in multiple dog homes or during play dates. Can administer medications and supplements. Experience with seizure risk dogs. I love to provide baths and nail trims/grinds when requested to provide a little something extra while caring for dogs. Reptiles and pocket pets (bunnies, guinea pigs, ferrets, sugar gliders, etc.) are a specialty. I have around 10 years of experience. Knowledgable in a variety of reptiles and able to efficiently learn more care to provide the best possible. I have some experience with birds, but happy to learn more. I work a part-time job giving me more time to care for your fur babies. I can sit on weekends that aren’t planned in advance on my schedule. Holidays sitting is dependent on care requirements as I like to spend this time with extended family. I don’t provide my home for sitting at this time due to my own pets and the limited space, and I’m a strong believer that your pets are more comfortable in their own homes. Overnight stays I don’t do with new clients, but can change with more familiarity. Due to this a potty break before bed is given, and I will be there in the morning for another potty and breakfast. I will also hang with your pets during the day on and off, and do any extra activities requested that fit with my schedule. I strive to maintain cleanliness when providing care at a client’s home. I will always clean up after myself and animals after a long stay. I try to stick to routines, but sometimes may need to adjust with my job. Providing baths and nail trims/grinds after a stay is a perk I like to offer to those wanting. Coming home to a clean house and pet(s) is very important to me when working with clients.

“Sarah was great and I will definitely use her to walk the pups again. She is a great communicator and took pics and made sure to let me know she picked them up and that they were home after their walk.”

About: I have 5 amazing dogs of my own, 1 pitbull, 2 American Eskimo mini and 2 Pomeranians. I had 2 liter of puppies from my dogs (1st liter was 10 pups, 2nd liter was 5 pups) and was able to raise them well for their furever home. I run a lot, so if your dog needs to exercise, you can count me in. Or simply needs a rest day, or any kind of special needs, I’m your girl. I work full time and have my own babies to care for, but I’m a super dog mom so I’m pretty flexible and prepared for anything. With my own experiences of owning 5 dogs, and raising 15 puppies, I feel like that should speak for itself. I do have a fenced in yard, I love dogs and I want them to be happy while they're with me or their own homes.

“Tanner was great! Dexter liked walking with him.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and other various animals since I was 16. I’ve worked at doggy daycare places and boarding facilities. I’m currently a full-time nursing student, but I hold a degree in veterinary technology, making me an animal nurse. I am also fear-free certified, meaning I use lots of treats, moving very slowly, and taking my time to get to know your pet's individual needs. I am currently a full-time student on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but can work to be available to any needs, drop-ins, medication administration, or any special circumstances. I love taking dogs on long walks to ensure they get to burn up energy. And depending on pets comfort level I will throw toys and play with them. Or let them hang out according to how they usually do when you are around!

About: I grew up in a animal loving home. I have had about 10 pets in my life, 3 cats and 2 dogs right now. I have also dog sat for my neighbors multiple times. I have so much love to give to your fur babies and can’t wait to meet them I am working part time and have the weekends and Mondays open for pet sitting. I can adjust my work schedule, but need to know ahead of time. I always make sure your babies get so many cuddles in and playtime to get all the wiggles out. And always a treat hear or there

About: Pet Care Experience: I’ve cared for pets of all kinds—from energetic puppies to gentle seniors—and I pride myself on giving each animal the same love and attention they’d get from their family. I’m experienced with administering medications, following special diets, and providing calm, reassuring care for anxious pets. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or quiet companionship, I adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. What Sets Me Apart: I focus on building trust through consistency, patience, and clear communication. I take time to learn each pet’s routine and preferences, making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. My background in handling multiple pets at once and caring for animals with special needs means you can relax knowing your pets are in capable hands. Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine. I plan my days around feeding times, walks, and check-ins to make sure each pet gets the attention and consistency they need. I’m flexible with scheduling and can accommodate afternoon, or evening visits depending on your pet’s routine. Whether it’s daily drop-ins, overnight care, or weekend stays, I make sure your pet’s comfort and routine always come first. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect I’d want for my own. I follow all care instructions closely, keep things tidy, and provide updates so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether it’s sticking to training routines, administering medication, or giving extra cuddles, I adapt to each pet’s personality and comfort level.

About: I have been around animals for as long as I can remember. I have the biggest soft spot for them, and I have two dogs of my own. I have had my own dog since I was about 19, but have had outdoor farm dogs for as long as I can remember. I have been around dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and other small animals for as long as I can remember. I am patient, detail orientated and I truly just love spending time with animals. Big or small, I love them all! I do work during the day, but I have the ability to pop out if/when I need to. I am free evenings and weekends. My schedule can be flexible if needed. I have a dog friendly home. To me this means there’s nothing but toys on the ground. Garbages are hidden and I am very aware of what is around my animals. I also have a dog park in front of my apartment!

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was young. About 10 years ago I started watching animals for Family and Friends while they went on trips. I usually stay and watch the animals since I work from home I will be with the animals most of the time. I can also drop in and let animals out if needed. I’m very flexible. Working from home gives me that availability. I’m able to stop over and let animals out if needed as well. I can feed, walk, give meds etc. I care for the animals in their homes. I’m unable to take care of them at my house. A lot of my friends and family prefer that so the animals don’t have to change their environment.

About: I've intermittently assisted my sister at her pet grooming business over the past 10+years. This time is also when I started watching dogs for some of her clients and I then found clients of my own through word of mouth. I've stayed in people's homes with their pets, I've had pets stay at my home. I have experience with puppies to senior dogs, kittens to senior cats. I have experience with toy breeds to Giant breeds. Domestic felines to hybrid. I grew up on a farm and have been around animals my entire life livestock, wildlife and pets, I have a deep love and respect for them. I've always had a pet dog/cat or both.. currently both. My schedule is currently very open daily, weekly, weekends very flexible. I intend to prioritize pet care in hopes of building a good business base for the near future. Pets in my care get all the love and attention. Vet name and number, emergency contact, medications list needed... I have out door tie outs, a zip line tie out, out door kennel, 2 indoor kennels, I'll let your pet sleep in my bed if it's sad. I want the pets to always be as comfortable and stress free as possible, so whatever that looks like for them is what I'll provide.

About: I’ve been caring for pets longer than I can remember - from helping grandma with her horses and barn cats to spoiling and training our own dachshund puppy and two amazing kitties - I am well equipped for any situation. Some background for me: I was born and raised in Alaska! There I took care of cats of varying abilities/disabilities/age, dogs of all sizes and abilities/disabilities/age, and fish! There’s been instances where I have stayed over a month to look over a special needs cat, and dug my car out after a heavy snow to make sure a hyper puppy gets a good hike in! I’m adaptable and communicative - you can be sure that I’ll send you plenty of photos and videos of your pet while you’re gone! Now I’m here in Minnesota to finish college, start life with my new husband, and take care of the pets in Southern Minnesota! I’m currently still a student! But I have Tuesdays, Thursdays, and the weekends for the most part completely open! Otherwise, I will make sure to check in on your pets between classes to ensure they don’t go more than four hours alone. I can’t have a pet in my apartment right now 😭 but when I’m back home in Alaska, we had a fenced area for our dog while she was still with us, and we have two full-time indoor cats. We love to spoil our animals - lots of love, kindness, and a patient environment. Just positive reinforcement and steady routines over here!

About: I have grown up with two lovely pups in my house. I helped taking care of them and even helped in training our hunting dog! I love being around animals and especially dogs. I am currently a college student I go to school at the university of Minnesota state Mankato. I am majoring in sports management with a minor in marketing. Moving back to college means I’m away from my dog at home. I am not ready to commit to getting a dog of my own due to living in an apartment, but I wanted the opportunity to be around dogs. So, that’s when I found rover and thought it would be perfect for someone like me! I give a lot of attention to the dogs and of course love to take them on long walks as I am quite active myself.

About: I’ve always been surrounded with animals, including dogs, chickens, cats, bunnies, and goats. I’ve dealt with a lot of different breeds ranging from Great Danes to Chihuahua. I’m currently a college student going to school for social work! I work at a nursing home as a CNA. I’m also in the Army National Guard. While that does keep me busy I do love taking care of animals in my free time and being active! I have been to a few training sessions with my own dogs, so I can help out with some basic training tasks. I can easily go on walks and runs with your dog. I’m very flexible with your needs so just let me know!
