Pet Sitting Ericsson

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.

“Courtney was wonderful! She took great care of our pets while we were away. She was super responsive and easy to communicate with. We look forward to using her again as a pet sitter.”

About: Hello pet parents of Minneapolis! My name is Rebecca, and I am here to offer you top-notch pet sitting services. With a profound love for dogs, I provide personalized care that ensures your furry friend is not just looked after but truly pampered. Whether you need assistance with dog walking or drop in (looking to board after my first month on here), I have the experience and dedication to handle it all. Each walk is filled with fun and exercise to keep your dog happy and healthy. When it comes to check ins, being gentle and respectful of their space and needs is my top priority. As a pet sitter, I offer a safe and loving environment while you're away. You can rest assured knowing that your pet is in capable hands. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares about your dog and understands their needs, please feel free to message me. I am eager to meet you and your furry family member! I currently have a flexible work schedule that does need me to travel sometimes for overnights. No traveling would occur during boarding. My dog of 5 years passed away earlier this year and I am looking for an outlet to scratch the pet-itch. We often did morning, afternoon, and evening walks. He was a reactive dog that was kid and dog aggressive, so we implement positive reinforcement training to successfully reduce reactivity. Caring for our furry friends means more than just taking them out for walks and feeding them. It is a time to connect and understand their needs. I’ll never push a dog to like me by petting them when they aren’t ready. I have an understanding of dog body language that I pay attention to. Play is one of my favorite ways to connect with animals - each one will have a different play style that I’ll be attuned to.

“Olivia is amazing! She is great to work with! She communicates clearly, is very reliable, and always lets us know how our pet is doing during the visit. I would definitely recommend her!”

“Sarah was amazing! She did a number of drop ins with our dog, and we would definitely book her again. Her communication, care for our pup, and detailed updates were so great, and made us feel comfortable even when we weren’t there. Grateful for Sarah and hope to book her again!”

About: I’m an experienced pet lover with a deep passion for dogs! I’ve cared for four pups of different sizes and breeds, and I can’t wait to help yours feel loved and happy. Whether it's walking, playing, or feeding, I’m here to give your dog the best care. I love to run so Im also available to take your dog for a run. I’m available most evenings from 5 pm onwards due to my full-time job. I’m flexible and happy to work around your needs for a stress-free experience. When taking care of your pet at home, I ensure they’re safe, comfortable, and engaged. I follow your instructions closely, offering playtime, feeding, and attention.

About: I am always happy to help out with my friends or neighborhood animals. I love all the cuddles and licks when I visit. I even help the lost ones that find their way to our door. I am self-employed and throughout the week go to meetings that can last 90 minutes. I am usually not gone any longer than a total of 6 hours. I am able to set my own schedule, so I can be flexible when housesitting. If I am boarding there is always an adult home to care for a pet. I like to walk, exercise, and play with pets. I go to local dog parks at least 2x/week with my own dogs. I also enjoy the snuggles pets are willing to give. I base my care off of what an owner likes and does, as well as what the pet is open to.

About: I became a dog mom in 2026 to my handsome boy Dice and quickly got involved with the rescue I adopted him from. Since then, I’ve fostered 20+ dogs and even foster failed with Ace! I love dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities and have experience with shy, fearful, excitable, reactive, and easygoing dogs. I’ve also completed four levels of obedience training with my dogs. My own dogs have taught me a lot about meeting dogs where they are. Dice is a senior gentleman who loves leisurely walks filled with sniffing and marking. Ace is my four-year-old shy boy who was very shut down and scared of everything when I got him. Watching his confidence grow has been incredibly rewarding—and today he’s a total love bug! I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality, learning their cues, and figuring out what makes them feel comfortable and happy. I’m available weekdays and have flexibility to tailor walks and visits to what your dog needs. Whether your pup wants a long walk, a run, a short potty break, or a leisurely sniff-and-explore adventure, I’m happy to follow their lead. I want walks to be enjoyable for your dog rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. I’m doing Rover during a career transition because I can’t think of a better way to spend my weekdays than getting outside, getting some exercise, and hanging out with dogs! ❤️ Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m comfortable working with reactive dogs and will follow your guidance on how to reinforce their training and manage their triggers. I’m also comfortable caring for dogs with special needs and will carefully follow any instructions, medications, routines, or other care requirements you provide. What you can expect from me: * 🐾 Plenty of attention, patience & affection * 🐾 Walks tailored to your dog’s needs and personality * 🐾 Respect for your dog’s routines and training * 🐾 A calm, thoughtful approach with nervous or reactive dogs * 🐾 Photos and updates after visits * 🐾 Someone who genuinely loves getting to know each dog After fostering 20+ dogs, I’ve learned that every dog communicates differently. I’ll take the time to understand your dog and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

“Lilah was respectful of my home & took great care of Greta. Would hire again! Thanks Lilah!”

About: Hi, I’m Deanna! I’m a lifelong animal lover and 25+ year dog/cat mom. I have two friendly small dogs and two dog-friendly cats. I’ve fostered dogs and been dog sitting for friends & family for many years - I’ve even taken care of snakes and lizards! I have personal experience with senior dogs who might need an extra loving hand. I have a safe and secure fenced back yard to play and relax in. Contact me to set up a meet & greet or with questions you may have. I look forward to meeting you and your special pup! Please note: pick up is required by 6:00pm. I give my resident dogs two to three long walks every day, with frequent potty/yard breaks. I have pet beds in my home office while I work. I have a fenced in yard, several doggy beds, and animals are allowed on my furniture. My resident dogs are small and like to play (gently) and have lots of toys to share, or just enjoy cuddling with other frequent nappers. I have two crates on-site or you can bring your own!

“So grateful Brian could stop by and let our pups out while we left them for a long day trip. He came right on time and gave us an update and photos. Thank you!”

About: As a community oriented dog-lover, I strive to provide excellent service to both you and your furry friends! I have taken care of dogs or all kinds since I was young from Duck Tolling Retrievers, Cavaliers, Terriers, and plenty of our rescue mixes. I am an avid walker and love taking dogs out on their own personalized strolls. I have raised several puppies into confident dogs, been patient with the shy and the elderly, and am ready to play with rough housers. I am in a unique situation of flexible working hours to be available for your pets and you. Need sitting for a small mammal or reptile? Reach out! I have experience in all sorts of small friends! I am a full time real estate agent which means my hours are flexible. Most of my work is done right from home and my days are neatly scheduled to make sure when I need to be out of the house, I will be able to return within a few hours. My schedule will only be open so long as I have the time to care for your pet in my home without too many hours away. If you are boarding your dog, rest assured, they will be comfortable and safe with me. I live in a secure condominium that has been pet-proofed since day one with a live-in Cavalier who is gentle as a lamb. Dogs will never be taken out without a leash and will never interact with anything outside of the home without my supervision. With my schedule, they will be taken out many times throughout the day and can be kept on any feeding schedule you require.

“Sally is always quick to respond, professional, and treats my pup like her own. It’s a great feeling to find someone you can trust with your pet. I would 100 percent recommend to anyone looking for pet services.”

“Abbey was so great to work with. We had a few hiccups (all on my end!) and she patiently worked through them and was very flexible. Would highly recommend!!”

Erynn & Jason K.

“Jennifer took great care with my dog while I was away. She not only provided me with a report but with cute photos of my pet. The reports were thorough and concise.”

Maya M.

“Lindsay was very communicative during her visits, sending updates and pictures of our kitties with all the needed information. She was great to work with and gave our pets good attention and care! It was wonderful to have peace of mind while we were out of town, especially given one of our cats has diabetes and needs medicine twice a day. We are very grateful!”

Emily E.

“Jackson was great! He showed up on time each day for a week, which was truly appreciated as I booked last minute. He updated me with a few pics and additional detail beyond the basic report card. For example, he checked in via message on day 1 to confirm my dog's mood and poop quality were as expected. My little buddy has some separation anxiety that sometimes causes runny stools and submissive posture. By day 2 my dog was already adjusted and he looked comfortable in the rest of the photos that Jackson sent throughout the week. Recommend 💯!”

Tammy N.

“Clara took excellent care of my kitties while I was away! Great communication and response time. I would recommend Clara for any of your pet sitting needs!”
