Winnie Lu , had such a good week walking with Lindy. She got the job done, and was so reassuring that Winnie was going to be walked while her mommy was out of town.

Cherie was amazing while caring for/walking my dear Abuelo. He has since transitioned above. Cherie accommodated my crazy work schedule which was a huge help! Always a great communicator & updated me when needed. Cherie will always be considered a member of Abuelos Village who cared for him. Thankful we met. Blessing to all the future fur babies 🐾

About: I’ve cared for dogs and other pets for over 12 years through helping family, friends, and neighbors with walking, feeding, bathing, playtime, and overnight care. I have worked at a dog facility in the past. I’m very patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs and personality. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and energy levels, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to each pet I care for. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, feeding, or playtime, I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m reliable, responsive, and happy to work with different routines and schedules to best fit your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure every pet is supervised, cared for attentively, and kept in a calm, loving environment. I always follow any routines, feeding schedules, medication instructions, or special requests provided by owners. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, and I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and care as if they were my own.

About: I've been caring for my own dogs—an 11-year-old Wheaten Terrier and a 4-year-old mixed breed—for years. I’m experienced in feeding, walking, and playing with them, and I make sure they get the care and attention they need every day. I’ve also helped take care of pets for family and friends, and I truly enjoy making animals feel loved and safe. I’m a Sophomore at Clemson University who is at home for the summer, so I have a very flexible schedule for check-ins and walks. This makes it easy for me to spend quality time with your pets throughout the day! I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love meeting new friends. I can crate your dog if needed and follow any specific routines or instructions you provide. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority!

Regina is a wonderful dog walker! We had a last-minute issue while I was recovering from foot surgery and needed someone to walk our little Coco for a few days. Thankfully, Regina was available to step in, and she has been fabulous! She is terrific with Coco, and I'm sure she is Coco's new best friend.

About: I have experience in taking care of elderly dogs and young pups. I have trained my dogs and other dogs to sit, down, wait and shake. I live in the Lake Minnetonka area. I have a Chihuahua/Terrier/Maltese Mix and he is 3 years old. I can provide the need for walks and drop in visits and house sitting. I am available during the early morning and late afternoon and evening any day of the week. I work at a school in the Minnetonka School District. I am available all holidays and summer break. I request to have clear instructions for walking/sitting dogs for harnesses, leashes, feeding, and toy preferences. I have a vet that I would use for emergencies.

About: I’ve been taking care of different animals for some years. I have always been a reliable call to come and check up on cats, or take care of pups while owners were away. Being sure to give them lots of love and give them the opportunity to use their energy. It is important to me that pets still have their routine and comfortability as they did before. So keeping up with their usual schedule is a way for them to still feel at home, or safe while their owners are away. I’m available week days after 5 and weekends after 1 pm. I am around and have a flexible schedule to work around if need be! I’m happy to take the time caring for your pets! I’ve visited homes to take care of pets and always made sure to only focus on their fur baby. Coming over to give attention to the dog or cat. Being sure to welcome with a friendly face and smile and if challenges arise, I am patient and willing to work with your pet until their feel comfortable enough to comply.

About: Hi, my name is Annalyse and I am 18 years old. I grew up around lots of animals, including dogs, so I have plenty of experience, and I can’t wait to help you and your furry friend!! I can do a variety of services and am willing to do same day services when I am able!! I currently work for the city of Chanhassen as a park camp leader, and pet sitting is just a fun side job!! I am looking forward to pet sitting in my free time, but it is not my main job, however I hope to provide quality care to you and your pets!! All pets need different levels and types of care, but all deserve love. I am willing to do any service except for boarding, as my current home does not allow dogs. I can do house sitting as well as over night stays, however I would request a meetup prior to either of those services to get to know you guys!!

Alexa was amazing with our two energetic dogs. She not only walked them but understood they needed more exercise so opted to throw them the ball before she left. Really appreciate her taking the extra step. Thank you!

Steve was wonderful with Mac over the past few weeks. He took excellent care of him and paid close attention to Mac’s cues, helping him feel safe and happy during their walks. Mac was always happy to see Steve at the door—a sure sign he was having a fun time. Thanks again, Steve! :)

About: My husband and I grew up with dogs our whole lives and we owned a small dog for 15 years. We are often one our neighbors and relatives call when they need a pet sitter. We are excited to meet new dogs and families and offer pet care. Our home is warm and welcoming and we like to give pets a lot of attention. We feel they are a part of our family when they are with us. You will receive pictures and regular updates while your dog is with us, so you can be reassured your pets are having a wonderful vacation too. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family members! My husband works from home. I work from home at times and we have two older kids who are often home to help too. We are never away for more than 4 hours at a time. We follow the owner’s preferences. We will use leashes, harnesses, etc. when on walks. We will administer medications as needed. Dogs can sleep in our beds.
