“Lynn was AMAZING! She took care of my pups for a lengthy trip and I came home to two extremely happy puppies. She kept me updated throughout my time away, sent lots of photos, and took them on lots of walks. I booked her pretty last minute and she made sure the meet and greet process was swift and easy!”

About: Newly single dad of two and one Rottweiler (they all live with mom). Looking for extra income and I’ve been a dog sitter/house sitter for over 15 years in the Twin Cities. I work full time as a church musician so my schedule is extremely flexible. My flexible working schedule can accommodate your pup’s needs. I’m used to multiple walks and feedings during the day. I love spoiling our furry friends and will give them a ton of attention. My neighborhood is near some incredible walking trails and is very quiet in terms of traffic or people being out and about. Fenced in yard. Doggos love it here.
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 have had a dog as a family pet my whole life and I currently have a golden doodle! I look forward to spending time with your dog and treating it like family! I have a full-time job but I will make time for your animal when you need it! I can take them for walks and let them out as needed. I can easily crate your dog when needed and I will use a leash every time we are out to make sure that they do not run away.
About: Do you need someone to watch your best friend while you are away? Do you have an upcoming event and no one to care for your little fur baby? Do you work long days and need someone to take your pup out for potty breaks? Let me do it!! I have been a dog lover for as long as I can remember And I finally moved to a place where I can take full advantage of unlimited puppy kisses, cuddle puddles and puppy playtime! My doggies enjoy running around the backyard and playing fetch with me or my sons. Treats? Tricks? I've taught my dogs, I can try to work with yours too. Colette is my name, loving doggies is my game! I work full time for Cedar Mountain Schools right now and my schedule is pretty regular but there is someone home at our house every day and I don’t work in the summer. I have a fenced in yard for running around and playing. I think all dogs should be allowed on the furniture because they are a part of the family too!
About: I have taken care of all types of pets, and even own a few myself. At the moment I have 5 horses, 6 dogs, and 1 cat. I know what you’re thinking, wow she’s crazy, but what can i say?

I am currently enrolled in full online pseo coarse while working my job so I am available everyday during the most important times! (breakfast, supper, and potty time!). I am always up earlier in the morning to take care of all my my animals. When I take my dogs out to the bathroom they are on a leash, same with going on walks with them. My cat is an outside cat and he will usually go on my walks with me when I take my dogs. I wake up early in the mornings to feed all my animals and take them potty, same thing for night time.

Nathan C.
“Going out of town for an extended vacation was nerve racking for us as puppy parents. Fortunately we had Nate who is a kind, empathetic and caring person who very quickly built a trusting relationship with us and more importantly our dogs. Nate is a natural at building rapport and was able to quickly win our dogs over. We have three dogs and he managed each of their special needs with ease. We also have a very high needs dog in terms of medication along with a regimented walking and feeding schedule. Nate managed this with utmost care and diligence. I would trust Nate 100% with our dogs and would highly recommend him to anyone else be it they have two or four legs.”

“Very reliable, friendly, and genuinely loves dogs. My dog gets so excited every time she sees Austin! I highly recommend Austin as a dog walker!”

“Colette is a warm and loving person. She is great with all fur babies and treats every animal as if they where her own. Also, dogs in particular just LOVE her, it is wonderful to witness. ?❤”
