“I'm happy to have chosen Joseph to walk my Husky, Maya! He would always show up for our designated time and day to walk Maya, no matter how cold it was. which I really appreciate. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for someone to walk their dog as I always knew she was in good hands. Thank you Joseph!”

“We needed a last-minute walker and we're very nervous about turning over our accomplished hikers to someone new last minute. Michael showed up to meet the girls and we instantly knew he was a good fit. We felt secure that he was capable and also very loving for our pups. We couldn't have been happier And will use him again most definitely the very next time we need someone to walk or sit our pups.”

About: I have worked at a vet clinic and boarding facility for about 4 years, and I have always had a love for animals! I know how to administer most medicines, including insulin, pills, sprays & creams. I am home from school for the summer and I am currently working part-time so I will have lots of time for your loving animals! I have experience with dog and cat sitting for friends and family. I always am careful of specific feeding instructions and will make sure I am taking care of your pet properly. Whether your animal is a couch potato or full of energy, I will make sure they have a blast!

About: We are experienced dog fosters and have hosted many dogs. We have been fortunate to love many dog breeds and hope to provide yours with a fun, loving adventure. I work remote and I am able to be available during the day. Our weekends are also at home so we can provide dogs with lots of attention. We have a fenced yard in a quiet suburban neighborhood near a lake. Our house is one level, making it easy for mobility issues. We have 2 dogs that love to make new friends.

“I’ve had the pleasure of having Timothy walk my dog several times, and I couldn’t be happier with the service. He is always punctual, professional, and incredibly kind to my dog. I highly recommend Timothy to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker. Five stars all the way!”

About: I've loved dogs and cats since I was nine, when I got (or made my parents get) my first doggo (Nahla). Later on, I snuck a kitten from my aunts hobby farm into our car, and he’s stayed with us ever since (Vinnie). Nahla and Vinnie are such love bugs, and I absolutely love animals of all kinds (yes, I even have four pet spiders). While I’m new to dog walking/pet sitting as a formal side-job, I bring years of hands-on experience caring for my own dog/cat and those of my extended family. I’m reliable, respectful, and attentive to each animals unique needs and routine, whether that means a calm stroll, pets, or an energetic adventure. I understand that your dog/cat is part of your family, and I treat every walk (drop-in) with that level of care. I’m happy to provide updates, follow instructions closely, and make sure your dog/cat feels safe, loved, and happy every step of the way. I'm currently a PhD student, but during the summer, all of my work is research-based and done remotely. That means I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week. Pet care fits in naturally -- I love taking breaks from the computer to get outside, stretch my legs, and spend time with my dog (her name is Nahla). Walks and check-ins are easy to plan around my research, and I enjoy the balance it brings to my day. I follow any routines or instructions closely -- whether that means feeding schedules, medications, crate time, or favorite walking routes. I always make sure pets have fresh water, get the exercise and attention they need, and feel relaxed while their people are away. In someone else’s home, I’m respectful of their space and aim to leave everything just as I found it. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos to give peace of mind. My goal is to make things as smooth and stress-free as possible for both pets and their humans

About: I’ve loved and taken care of dogs since I was 8. I saved my babysitting and birthday money to purchase my Pomeranian at the age of 12. I potty trained her and taught her how to sit, lie down, shake, and rollover on my own. I had her for 17 wonderful years and miss her everyday… Besides my Pomeranian, I have house/pet sat for multiple friends and family members. I currently have a 6 year old pomsky (half husky, half Pomeranian). She is a energetic dog who loves walks, playing fetch, and any squeaky toy. My dogs are my life and I would do anything for them. They are very spoiled! I love dogs so much and would own a house full of them if my husband would let me. I’m currently a full time worker. I’m a certified surgical technologist that works in the operating room at a hospital. I work mostly mornings and 4 days a week. I live 10 minutes from my job and I am gone 8 hours a day when I work. Other than my job, I am always at home. I’m a homebody and stay home most weekends as well. I have a completely fenced in backyard. I let my dog outside every 2 hours when I’m home from work for potty breaks. My dog is fed twice a day (morning & night). When I am at work my dog stays in her kennel. I also have a Furbo (dog camera which I can see, talk, and give treats to my dog while I’m on breaks at work) set up in my basement. My dog, as well as yours if allowed, is allowed on my furniture and to even sleep in my bed at night.

About: I have had a dog ever since I can remember. I have a Siberian husky named Kody and he is 5 years old. We love to go on long walks together. I am currently working remote. Which will allow me to bring my work with me and spend more time playing with your pups and cats! I will care for your dog with lots of love and attention. Whether that is walks playing ball tummy rubs etc. I will make sure they feel safe with me.

About: I have lots of experience watching dogs overnight for family and friends. Walking, feeding, playing with dogs and casing for cats, chickens, bunnies and birds at their homes. I mostly work from home and I have a very flexible and have a flexible schedule. Let’s chat about what your needs are times and days. I am open to caring for small dog at my home, I have a fenced yard and have lots of playing space. I am also available to come to your home.

About: Exercising your dog is the most important thing you can do for your dog. It will change your dog for the better. My family has had many dogs small to large in my life and have loved them all- It is very important to have a dog as part of your family and life they bring so much joy. Qualifications: Trained therapy dogs and currently have a parrot that I use for therapy work as well. I can give medications and do most health care as needed. Neighborhood dog sitter for families on vacation. Pet sitter for Parrots, cats, dogs, rabbits, ferrets, fish, lizards, large and small critters, just ask I am sure I have done it! Pets are such an important part of our lives and deserve the very best :)

About: I specialize in teeth brushing. Happy teeth, happy fur babies. I also love going on walks, and I'm in the process of setting up a agility course. I currently work M - Thursday, with that in mind you could head out early for a nice long weekend, knowing your fur baby will be well taken care of. I have a large back yard, lots of woods, private area. Fur babies welcomed inside and out. If special needs are in order just ask, we want to make sure you are relaxed, and the same with your pet.

About: I've had dogs myself my whole life and also don't mind cats one bit! I love to play with pets and am huge on snuggling as long as the furry friend is too. I have started dog-sitting for a bunch of family's near where I live and they recommended I sign up for Rover and do it more often and always seem to have no issues. Some of my frequent families pets have medications and vet appointments so I am used to helping care for some dogs who aren't the best pill swallowers. 2 Notes: 1. I do prefer hypo-allergenic dogs but am okay with shedding 2. I prefer specific instructions before hand and info on the animals preferences I recently graduated from HS and am doing online college while flight training to be a pilot near Chisago, MN. I have a very flexible schedule as long as I'm not traveling or out of town. I would have times during the day where I would need to be either working or at a flight-lesson otherwise I wold be at home with the puppers (which is why my potty breaks looks like it does). I basically live my everyday life with your pup and make sure their needs are exceeded! I can easily follow detailed instructions and love to care for animals. I can take them on walks, play, nap, snuggle and just about everything in between in the comfort of your own home.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 7 years, including dogs, cats, and small animals. I have always grew up in a home with 4+ pets, even birds! I’’m great at reading animal behavior and adapting to each pet’s personality. I have experience with senior pets, giving medications, and providing calm, consistent care for anxious animals. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and understood while you’re away. I am currently a student at the UMN and coming home to Forest Lake for the summer. I plan my days around your pet’s needs, ensuring they get timely walks, meals, and attention. Weekends and holidays are also available for bookings. My schedule is pretty much completely open! I create a clean, calm, and pet-safe environment. I follow all instructions carefully, maintain open communication, and prioritize each pet’s comfort and safety. I’m respectful of your space and treat your pets like family.

About: Hi! Im Kerri! I grew up on a farm and we had cats, dogs, and bunny rabbits. I have always love animals and have a LOT of experience caring for them. I will love and care for your dog just as you would so you can enjoy your time away without any worry. I have experience with older animals, I know animal CPR, I can administer medication or ear drops and anything else your dog may need. I will send you updates and send pictures while you are gone so you can see the fun they are having! I have 3 kids at home who are great with animals so your dog will get lots of cuddles and play time. I would love to care for your pet while you are away :) My husband and I alternate days working at home so someone will always be home to take care of your pet. I will follow the schedule that your dog is accustomed to so that they can feel comfortable in their new home away from home while you are away. I treat each dog like family and let them pick where they are comfortable sleeping and relaxing unless otherwise specified by you. We are in a convenient location just a mile off of highway 35 which make drop of and pick up easy. I will take your dog for a couple walks a day on leashes and they will be secure in the house unless taken outside on a leash. I will abide by your instruction left for your dog. Please let me know if you have any special request and I will make that happen!

I am currently a full time student at the University of Minnesota I am available most days of the week. My availability is very open this summer. I can provide a safe environment for pets in clients homes by following the schedule that the client has for their dog. Including when they need to go on walks, let out to go to the bathroom, to be feed, and when they need their medication.

(cats, dogs, fish, hamsters, and a rabbit) I am comfortable with many different animals big or small and I am confident I can put your mind at ease while away from your fur babies! I have two cats, Tangie, and Dodi, and a Great Pyreneese named Marshall! I have lots of experience watching dogs and house sitting- and can follow a routine or instruction for care to a T. I have organized hikes for dog walkers in the Twin Cities and partnered with animal shelters. If you select me for your services you will not be disappointed and your pet will be in good hands! I am available during the week after 5pm, I am available during the weeknd anytime after 12pm. I love my animals and know the struggle of worrying about them when you have to hit the road or work long hours, so I am looking to help others out that need someone they can trust to pop in and check on their pets! I have a fenced in yard to keep your pets safe, and two cats that may or may not make an appearance if your fur baby is here.
