Dog Sitting Excelsior

“Evelyn was wonderful with our kitties! They took an immediate liking to her when she first came to visit, and I was so appreciative of all the cute photos she sent us. It was great knowing they were in capable and caring hands. Will definitely rebook with Evelyn in the future!”

“Thank you so much taking care of Subaru. And thanks for coming an extra day as our travel was delayed. We have made it back home and Subaru couldn't be happier.”

About: I have experience with many breeds, temperaments, needs, and ages. I pride myself on patience and grace in all these categories. In addition to my pet care expierence I also work with those grieving the loss of a companion animal or working through the steps of preparing for euthanasia and after care. I am also Fear Free Certified. I love spending my spare time with animals of all kinds! Right now I have the most availability on weekends and evenings for walks and home stays, but soon I hope to have even more time. I have a soft spot for senior dogs or fur babies with a little more maintenance. I have a dog and a cat at home that my son and husband assist in the care of when I am caring for other families’ pets. While I have a routine and expectations of my own animals, I am very flexible and respectful of how others chose to care for their furry companions and will abide whatever instructions I am given to care for each unique pet. I am a frequent Sniff Spot user and love going on adventures but also find just as much enjoyment staying in and snuggling on the couch with a good book or movie.

“Sheila was very good at communicating with an update and pictures of my cats. She also took time to entice them to play with their favorite toy! She did a great job spending time with them!”

About: I’ve had and helped care for pets my entire life! From dogs and cats to guinea pigs and horses, I’ve always loved being around and caring for animals of all kinds. I’m familiar with the needs of cats and dogs of all ages and am dedicated to providing reliable, loving care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away! I just graduated from high school this past school year and will be commuting to school starting in September. I only have a few classes each weekday, so I should still be available to care for your pets around my schedule! I am also very flexible and should be able to meet the needs of almost any pet parent! In my experience, every home is run differently, and every pet sitting job is unique, so I always follow the pet parent’s schedule and instructions. I pay great attention to detail and am responsible with timelines for tasks.

“Truly a wonderful experience! I was out of town for a wedding, and had to leave my anxious pup alone for the first time. Gabrielle made the process so easy - and made sure to keep me updated and took good care her! She kept up with her meds, and paid close attention to other dogs while out on walks. Will be booking again!”

“Catarina is our go-to with our pup Kaya - she is always so easy to work with, communicates well and Kaya loves her! Highly recommend & we will continue to use Catarina for all of Kaya's sitting needs.”

“From the minute I met Sydney I knew she was going to be a trust worthy gal to take care of my granny cat. Sydney has been so kind,punctual , sent pictures, videos and updates every visit, even spend some extra off the clock time to pet my cat finish her nap on Sydney’s lap. I would recommend Sydney to anyone looking for a a sitter for their pet .”

“Kristen was great as we requested her assistance last minute. She was very communicative and loving towards our 2 cats. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking and will definitely use her again.”

About: I have been a dog / cat sitter for my friends, family and neighbors since I was 13. My family had both dogs and cats in the house when I was growing up. I love spending time with animals and getting to know their unique personalities. I especially enjoy taking dogs for walks and playing with them outside to help expend their energy. I currently work from home in a corporate position. I have plenty of free time and would love to spend some of it taking care of animals. Typically, I am staying over at the client’s home for the duration of their trip / vacation. The client will often have me over to their home prior to their departure to meet the animal(s) and go over their needs and any other special requests they may have. It is very important to me that the client feels safe entrusting me to stay in their home and take care of their pets.

About: I’ve grown up caring for dogs my entire life and have approximately 20 years of hands-on experience. My family has had two dogs, so I’m comfortable with daily feeding, walking, playtime, basic training, and maintaining consistent routines. I’ve also helped family members and friends care for and walk their dogs, giving me experience with different personalities and needs. I understand that every dog is unique, and I’ll treat yours with the same patience, attention, and affection I give my own. I am currently working online for school and will have winter break making me available at all times of the day during the week and on the weekends. I am comfortable with walking dogs and letting them out in a fenced community. I will travel and stay at your home, if that is the preference to keep your pet in a familiar environment while you are away to limit the amount of changes!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a teenager, regularly babysitting for friends, family, and neighbors. I’ve also been volunteering at my local animal shelter since I was 22, which has given me even more opportunities to be around and care for dogs with different personalities and needs. I’m a genuine animal lover who enjoys everything from long walks and playtime to cuddles and keeping your pup company. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member, and I promise to treat every dog with the same love and care I would give my own! I work Monday through Friday from 8 AM–5 PM in Plymouth, but I’m happy to be flexible whenever possible! I’m available to coordinate walks, drop-ins, and other pet care needs around my work schedule. I understand that every pet and pet parent has a different routine, and I’d love to work together to find a schedule that works for everyone. I’m especially happy to help with evenings, weekends, and occasional weekday needs when my schedule allows! I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, dietary restrictions, medication instructions, walking routines, and any other special requests. I love sending pictures and updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for! I’m also an active person who loves being outdoors and staying on the move, so I’m very comfortable keeping up with high-energy pups who enjoy longer walks, plenty of playtime, and extra exercise:)

“Great service and very good with our pups”

About: I love to care for dogs of all ages! I’ve had dogs my whole life and my family calls me a “dog whisperer” because animals are always attracted to my calm demeanor I work full time as a chiropractor. My main availability is Tuesdays (all day), Friday afternoons and weekends. Also occasional week day evenings after 6pm. Happy to walk your dog wherever they like best! I also frequent many trails in the area and love to bring them there for something to see.

“Grace was fantastic! She went above and beyond, sent photos and communicated daily, and she even brought my packages inside when I forgot to hold the mail. I will definitely book her again and would recommend her to anyone!”

About: I have tons of experience with my sister’s and friends dogs growing up. I love them more than anything and I’m looking forward to meeting more! I do work a full time job from 8-4:30 Monday-Friday I’m available most evenings and all weekends. I work full time but always during the day. I will make it work in the worst case scenario! I live in a very nice apartment in Eden Prairie and a nice area as well. I have a lot of nice parks around too!
