About: I have grown up caring for dogs of my own my entire life. I currently have a one year old dalmatian who loves to play outside in our fenced in backyard. I'm available for walks, check-ins, and overnight stays in my home. I work Monday through Friday, but work from home during the months of June, July, and August, so I can be flexible with my schedule to accommodate your pet's needs. On a typical day in the summer I spend a majority of my time outside with my dog. In my own home - My dog will be home with your dog, and they can play inside or in the backyard. My dog has access to the living room, kitchen, and fenced-in backyard through a doggie door. In your home - I will follow instructions from the owner based on your pet's likes and needs. I want to make sure all dogs are comfortable and not stressed.
About: I’m a animal love person every animal I have had has been a rescue animal and adoption. I love to take dogs for walk, throw toys for them. I treat the animals like there my own. After a fun day outside with them, they can relax by getting a bath. I donate to animal shelters and sell homemade dog treats.. I have 30 years dealing with parrots. I had 10 parrots of my own. I’m home everyday I give a hundred percent to the pets. I have a vehicle that can take them to talk parks. When I take dogs outside I go with them to give them company. I have a fenced yard, toys, I have televisions throughout the house I play animal plant all day for them, when it’s hot out I don’t keep them out long, I bring them in to give them water and treats.
About: Hi there! I’m currently a veterinary assistant with three years of hands-on experience, and caring for animals truly brings me joy. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and have lots of fun while in my care—whether that means going for a hike, playing fetch, or simply relaxing on the couch (if that’s okay with you!). I’m very comfortable administering medications and supporting any extra medical needs your pet may have, thanks to my background in veterinary care. In our home, we have one friendly pup who loves meeting new furry friends. I’m also a nursing student, but my classes are only a few hours a day, so I’m home most of the time and available to give your pets plenty of attention and affection. I’m happy to keep you updated with as many photos and messages as you’d like—it’s important to me that you feel completely at ease while your pets are with me. Let’s work together to create a warm, safe space where your pets can feel right at home! I have class a few times a week, but very much spend a majority of my time at home, there are quite a few weeks I’m also available! When they are at my home whether for daycare or boarding I take my dog on a 1.5-3 mile walk through our quiet town of Courtland. If weather permits I like to go to Flandrau or Fort Ridgley state park if your dog would enjoy that! I also have a backyard that I would be happy to play fetch in with your pets as well!
About: I have owned between 2-4 dogs my entire life, ranging from small-large in size. I currently have a medium and a large size dog, both are friendly and love to play! My yard is unfenced, but I have access to a dog park just behind my home. I can offer any potty times and feeding times needed! I'm currently working gig work and do not have a steady job. I am home most of the time and can give your furry friend all of the attention they desire! I have 2 dogs that are very friendly and love to play! I live very close to a dog park, as in I can see it from my home! My dogs play in the house constantly, as well as going on regular walks and trips to the dog park!
About: I’ve grown up with all different breeds and ages of dogs. I understand that all dogs have different personalities and their own traits that make them unique. I love getting to know their different personalities!! I currently work full time as a nurse but I have many days off during the week and weekends. My schedule varies slightly from week to week. But when I’m off, I’m usually spending time at home! I have my own fur baby who gets along great with other dogs and loves to have company! I allow him free rein of the house if I have to leave for any reason. But I do have a kennel and am able to gate off areas of my house if needed! My family has a farm place about a mile away with a large fenced in area that my dog loves to run in. I also love going for walks and cuddling on the couch and watching movies with my pup.
About: I’ve had animals in my house for basically my whole life. I grew up with all kinds of animals in my home. I’ve gotten puppies that I had to train, and even older dogs that needed a refresher. I’ve always had birds, cats, and dogs! I’m available full-time and I will always try my best to accommodate your needs! Animal care comes first and I will make sure your pet gets everything they need while you’re away. I will always give 100% and treat your baby like my own. I will be respectful and responsible when in your home. I’ll follow any directions you give about how to care for your furry friend :)
About: For over 38 years, I have had animals from cats, dogs, and pigs. I have a dedicated love and passion for animals; everything from walks to cuddles to playtime and treats. I'll make sure your fur babies feel loved, happy, and healthy. I am reliable and compassionate and excited to take care of your babies while you are away. I work in the cities and have a flexible schedule. I will ensure proper and adequate exercise and attention is given to ensure your babies feel loved and attended to during the day. My priority is to ensure the safety so I will first check for fencing and leashing preferences of the family to ensure we are safe. I’ll also seek to understand all relevant home rules as they relate to pets and preferences.
About: I have grown up with dogs from old age to puppies. Our family always has dogs around, big or small! I love them all tremendously. I grew up with labs, bichon-poodle, GSPs and wiener dogs. My job is very flexible. It is a work from home but also a mix of out in the field. I can pick my own schedule so whatever fits for me and your pupper I am happy to cater to their/your needs! I have a two-bedroom apartment that is large enough for dogs. I can bring them outside for walks, to the bathroom and just to play. If you prefer a fenced in I can take them to a dog park. I love to cuddle and let the dogs on the couch/bed. I am very attentive to what you prefer their schedule to be.
About: I have raised, trained, and worked dogs of all various types throughout my entire life. I have experience with miniature breeds all the way to the colossal mastiff types, even including MWD's and other types of working K9. I also will gladly look after any species. Spiders, snakes, farm menageries, exotics, birds, and even fish! I currently have open availability throughout the week as I just settled into the area from Alaska. I am able to fully dedicate my time to any and all of your sitter needs including light rotation, mail service, trash service, etc. I strictly adhere to the owners preference while watching your pet in the comfort of your own home. This brings less headache for the owner not having to part out meals, carry beds, treats, and toys to a new place, and the dog gets to happily relax in a familiar spot - lowering anxiety for the pet in the long run.
About: I grew up on a farm so taking care of animals come second nature to me. I just love being around animals, they are just the cutest things ever. Just recently quit my job to open more free time. Monday through Friday my schedule is open. I’m also available every others weekend will be busy the other two weekends during the month with my daughter Making sure I give all pets enough attention, I treat every pet as if they where my children. The safety and well being of your pet is my number One responsibility.
