About: I have had pets my whole life. Dogs and cats. From puppy and kitten to old age. The occasional foster to raising and training my own. The days would need to ge felxibile cause my workdays change weekly, otberwise, any day available and, anytime over the weekends. I go for a walk or run everyday depending on the weather and could absolutely go for a walking buddy! I treat all pets as if they were my own. They deserve love and care just like all others. All my pets have had a heel or come command in need for run aways or safety measurement of theirs and mine.

“Jennifer did a great job once again of taking care of my 15 yr. old cat who needs insulin. Tally is always so happy when I get home. I know she's well cared for and in good hands with Jennifer! 😃”

About: I am a current pre-veterinary student at St. Olaf College, and plan to pursue a doctorate in veterinary medicine after undergrad. I've taken care of pets of all sorts for friends, family, and neighbors since I was 10, and cared for my own animals for as long as I can remember. I have worked in a humane society and am comfortable working with all sorts of pets, of all shapes, sizes and ages. I have also worked in commercial kennel settings, with dogs with behavioral issues. I have experience cleaning up messes, providing enrichment, and administering medications, as well as caring for newborn and young puppies. I'm a full time college student who loves to spend my free time with all sorts of animals! I can visit during the day or stay overnights; feel free to reach out to hear more about my availability. I'm happy to keep your pets company in the comfort of their own homes, as well as taking them on any outings they usually enjoy!

About: With 18 years of caring for dogs, cats, and a variety of farm animals, I truly love getting to know each animal’s unique personality. Whether it’s a playful pup, a cuddly cat, or farm animals that thrive on routine and gentle handling, I’m dedicated to making every animal feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. From feeding and daily care to keeping their spaces clean and cozy, I treat every animal like part of the family. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets and farm animals are in kind, reliable hands while you’re away. As a stay-at-home mom with a naturally flexible schedule, pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to provide consistent attention, regular check-ins, and reliable feeding or walking times. Whether it’s stopping in for midday visits, keeping up with routine care, or offering extra time and companionship when pets need it, I can adjust my schedule to match each animal’s needs. My open availability means pets get dependable, unrushed care—and owners get peace of mind knowing someone responsible is always close by. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routines consistent and making them feel safe and comfortable. In my home, pets enjoy a calm, clean environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and regular feeding and potty schedules. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routines closely—feeding the same foods, maintaining familiar walk times, keeping litter boxes or living areas clean, and giving plenty of affection and company. I always make sure pets get the right balance of exercise, rest, and reassurance so they feel relaxed and well cared for, no matter where they are.

“Ally is absolutely wonderful! Lola is a pill with other people but Ally made her feel comfortable and more importantly we were able to relax and enjoy our vacation!”

Deb W.

“Magen did a fantastic job with my 4 cats, even sending photos and a summary of each visit. That peace of mind in knowing they’re well cared for, and that you can relax and enjoy your trip, is really priceless.”

About: Hi! I’ve been caring for animals my whole life—starting on my family’s farm in southwest Minnesota with dogs, horses, sheep, and plenty of barn cats. I’ve worked in animal shelters and vet clinics, caring for all kinds of pets—from dogs and cats to reptiles and birds. I’m Low Stress Handling certified and have hands-on experience with walking, grooming, giving medications, and more. At home, I have two sweet senior Springer Spaniels and help care for family pets and farm animals. I love being outside—whether it’s hiking, walking dogs, or just soaking up the fresh air. Most of all, I love making sure animals feel safe, happy, and loved—just like family. I am a free-lance graphic designer and baker, otherwise I have been a stay-at-home mom. Both kids are now in school full time, and I have started a part time job at Dakota Pet Hospital as a Client Care Representative. I cannot walk my own dogs, due to their mobility restrictions and age, so why not walk yours! I would be caring for your pet in your home and around your neighborhood through walks, drop in visits and play times. I want to get to know you and your pet so that we know that we will work well together. I want you to feel safe having me caring for your furry family member and best friend, and I want to feel safe and comfortable with your pet(s). I want to see how you interact with your pet so that I can give them the type of care they are used to receiving!

“Shannon was fantastic with our pups! We were a last minute booking due to other plans falling through and I couldn’t have asked for better care for the dogs! She sent us many pictures throughout her 30 minute visit. I knew my dogs were well cared for. I will definitely use Shannon again in the future. :)”

“Michelle was wonderful! She took great care of our older cat. She was kind and played with her and even took care of her medicine. She went above and beyond by gathering the mail, watering our flowers and other miscellaneous. We will definitely be asking for Michelle again as we are now her newest repeat customers!”

Andrew C.

“Our first time using Jaci and she was wonderful! We needed someone last minute and she helped us out! Even tho we couldn’t meet before hand, I felt totally comfortable having her in our home to take care of our girls! Will definitely use her again!”

Karyn S.

“We were very happy Cindy was able to help us out. Cindy took the time for a meet and greet before. They got a long great. When Cindy stopped, she text us and sent photos of her visit. We will definitely use Rover and Cindy again! Thank you”

Lynette S.

“Nicole is wonderful. Dependable, kind and great with dogs. She helped care for our puppy and our sick older dog at the same time. Always sent me photos and notes. She’s great.”

“Sam has been wonderful about flexibility with my sometimes-goofy schedule.”

About: When your pet stays with me, they are family, and treated as such. I have experience with elderly and hospice pets as well as special-needs pets, young puppies, medication management and administration (liquid, pill, and injections) and some training experience as well. Well versed in pets with special care requirements (i.e. animals with anxiety, reactivity and/or other behavioral challenges). Because I work from home, I can be with your pet throughout the workday, and can easily step away to give your pet potty breaks and attention. I prefer to do house-sitting based pet care, as I’ve found that animals are most comfortable in their home environments. I am also happy to water any plants that may need it, as long as instructions are provided. Happy to work with large animals, amphibians, fish, and reptiles as well. Do note that house-sitting based pet care includes light house maintenance/cleaning as well such as vacuuming and laundering the guest sheets used. I like to leave the houses I care for as neat (if not neater) than they were upon my arrival. I work from home and can easily step away to care for your pet. When pet sitting, I generally don’t leave the house I’m sitting at for more than a few hours at a time, so your pet has reliable supervision and company. I am pet CPR and first aid certified through Red Cross. I am a very cautious and risk-aware person, always mindful of keeping doors and gates shut and ensuring the environment I’m pet-sitting in is safe and secure.
