Dog Sitting Ham Lake

“Absolutely great, will definitely use again! She sends full reports after each visit and lots of pictures. I had no issues trusting her with the dogs and she always was responsive and quick to give updates.”

About: Hi I loveee dogs cats and all animals! I loveee every pup and their unique personality’s. I have owned two sweet girls and a baby boy they couldn’t be more different, so I’m very comfortable working with dogs of all temperaments, and energy levels. And would love to work with your baby’s! I have an open schedule I can do mornings, afternoons, and evenings and am available daily weekly or occasionally to whatever best fits your needs and schedule! Feel free to set up a meet and great to see if I’m your best match! I prioritize safety and having fun with them I have a pet free down stairs and a big fenced in back yard where your pups can run around supervised! my community has dog friendly trail they can walk if that’s more of your dogs style. I can also accommodate to whatever is best convenient for you.

About: My dogs have always been very high needs growing up, so I have a lot of experience working with different diets, medications, and needs. I'm an athlete, so I can take them out for long periods of time to get exercise as needed, which can be really helpful for hyperactive dogs who have to be cooped up during the day. I'm also entirely capable of caring for senior dogs, I can take things at their pace and make sure they're comfortable and happy. I am currently a full time college student, but I have a lot of open time either between classes or after them. I commute to the Twin Cities from the suburbs, so I can easily travel wherever I am needed to be able to check in on or take care of your furry friends. Being in the cities with my own car I can take dogs out for walks around the lakes or down some of the trails nearby so they (and I) can get some proper exercise before my classes. When caring for pets, I always make sure they are getting plenty of time to move around, especially if I'm just dropping in to check on them, but regardless of the need. I like to keep a checklist of what I need to get done, as well as just having a bit of time to play with or pet them. I can take pets out for walks on foot or with my roller skates, which lets me go longer distances with them. I make sure to clean up any messes I might make, putting everything back as I found it and keeping things nice and tidy for when you get home again. I'm confident staying in new places, and can make sure everything stays safe in your home or space during my time there.

About: We grew up with pets and we have a pet loving family. We have a German wirehair pointer dog, cat and raise rabbits for showing. We also volunteer at a local goat farm and help take care of goats. I work full time out of the home, Monday-Friday, so your dog will be kenneled while we are at work. Unless it’s summer or holiday then my schedule may be different. I will do morning walks and night walks and playtime outside after and before work. We have an unfenced large yard so your pet will be leashed for playtime. We have a nice larger private backyard so plenty of space for exercise.

“Sara has been very good with Brewtus!! He's a puppy and isn't trained all the way just yet. She plays with him and he goes potty for her. No accidents while he is waiting for us to come home after she's been here! So happy ?”

About: I lived with 2 cats for a majority of my life. I have experience watching animals for family and friends, looking to meet new best friends. I am currently working full time and going to school part time to earn my master’s degree. Looking for a fun side job to keep life interesting. I am open to having the animals out in the open or crated when not around. Would love to have a yard to play with animals, but not opposed to going to local parks.

About: I have a passion for animals. Dog/house sitting is more than a job, it is one of my favorite hobbies. I am a very punctual and friendly person that you can rely on. I am a big proponent of picking up for your dog on walks & leaving your house cleaner than you left it. Nothing makes me happier then a wagging tale after a great walk. I am a full time professional that is always looking to make new doggie best friends. I have taken care of dogs big and small, as well as a small hodgepodge of other fun pets like hedgehogs, parakeets & house plants. Just know, that as you head off our your vacation, your pets will be comfortable and safe in their own home with me. I will be able to give to best care to pets that can handle the 8-4:30 schedule while I am at work. Extended stays/house sitting works fine with me and will give constant attention to your precious pets while I am there. When caring for your pet in your home, I stick to a strict schedule. I always come straight home after work so we can go on a long walk and then make sure we both get some dinner. Evenings will be spent giving all my attention and playfulness to those more energetic dogs!

About: I’ve taken care of many doggies and kitties in my last 10 years. I can walk them, feed them (any allowed treats will be given), I can administer their medication. I also take care of kitties! I clean litter boxes, feed them, play with them and give them premium chin scratches! It fits perfectly. I love to create a routine with regular walks and form bonds with the kitties or puppies! I am not afraid of any breed, they are all puppies in my eyes. I make them as comfortable as possible, I treat them with respect and love. I always follow the directions provided by the owner to the letter!

“Andy did an awesome job checking in our senior kitty. Instructions were followed, our home was left clean, and Andy took the time to get to know our cat, provide some additional treats, and get some play time in. We really appreciated the communication and the photos!”

About: I am a big time animal lover that has taken care of dogs, cats and rabbits for over 8 years. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to check in with, feed and play with their animals. I’m currently working 4 10 hour days with Thursdays and weekends off. I would be able to hang out with or stop in with your pets in the morning and evening Monday-Wed and Friday or anytime Thursday or Saturday-Sunday I can stop by or stay over and do whatever is needed to take care of the pets in my clients’ home including crating, feeding, letting outside and more!

“Jenna was great! Teddy loved playing with her and she made sure everything was good with him before she left - she even stayed a little longer to spend time with him!”

About: I have a bit more varied experience than some. When I was young, we had a veritable zoo, and I haven't stopped having animals since. I've never not had a dog and was made responsible for over 30 miniature horses whenever their owner needed it. I also have experience with ferrets, cats, parakeets, parrots, and lizards. I will say if you need to look after something more exotic (and demanding) we would need to talk first. My dog is also quite old and has a lot of health problems, so I am familiar with handling these. I work Mondays from 12-7 and Tuesdays through Thursday I work 10-4. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday I have mostly open availability with the exception that I occasionally have work events. Each animal is different, and so I would strive to find that balance with your dog. Every dog plays a bit different or might need their food handled differently. While I can't take animals into my home at the present, I will strive to be as careful with meeting their needs as I do my own pup at home.

“Hailey was great at communicating and handled our energetic pup with care! We highly recommend her!”

About: I grew up in a household full of animals, caring for a husky, a German shepherd, three cats, two bunnies, and a hamster. This gave me hands-on experience with pets of different sizes, temperaments, and care requirements. I've also dog-sat numerous times, including for pets needing medication, which I have administered with care and precision. My background ensures I'm comfortable with diverse needs, from playful puppies to senior pets. I bring a nurturing approach, a deep understanding of animals, and a commitment to treating every pet like they're part of the family! I currently have a very open schedule, and can be at home most of the day. I would have lots of time to spend with your pup or kitty. In my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment where animals can relax, play, and feel at ease. I follow the owner’s care instructions closely, ensuring their pet’s routine, diet, and exercise needs are met. In a client’s home, I maintain their pet’s usual routine to minimize stress. I provide companionship, regular walks or playtime, feeding, and medication administration if needed. I keep the home tidy and respect the client’s space, ensuring their pet is happy and well cared for in familiar surroundings.

About: I’ve had professional experience in animal care; I’ve worked as a pet technician taking care of cats and dogs of all ages, sizes, disabilities and personalities! I’ve learned hands on how to care for their physical and emotional needs. My experience and training in animal care makes me a reliable and qualified sitter for your furry friends! Not only am I experienced in animal care, I’m a puppy and kitty enthusiast! I’ve always love animals, and have owned both dogs and cats sense childhood. Friends and family always come to me as their first choice as a pet sitter because they know I’ll take good care of their pets and will give the all the love and attention they can’t provide when they’re away. Services I can provide for your pet/s include the basics such as feeding them, walks, play time, snuggles, and cleaning up after them, AS WELL as additional services other sitters may not be able to provide such as taking care of animals with disabilities and behavioral issues as well as administering medication. Please send me a message with details of your pet/s as well as dates and or times if you are interested in scheduling me as a sitter. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! My availability is currently open for summer! I do have interviews and other things coming up though, so let me know your schedule and we can see if it’s a good fit! I always keep dogs on leashes when we go outside and take walks unless the owners yard is fenced in. On walks I never let people or other animals interact with the dog/s I am sitting unless the owner specifically specifies it is alright AND the dog/s I am sitting show body language indicating they are comfortable with the interaction. I’m easily able to crate dogs if needed or requested as well. Let me know if you have any other questions regarding measures I take to keep your pets safe in your home and on walks!

About: I have five years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals for friends, family, and neighbors. I also grew up around animals, so pet care has always been a natural part of my life. I love making sure each pet feels safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits easily into my day because I’m home and available throughout the day. I enjoy giving pets the time, attention, and care they need to feel happy and comfortable. I make pets feel safe and loved by following their routine, giving them playtime, attention, and keeping their space clean. Whether in my home or theirs, I make sure they’re happy and comfortable.

About: I am a single mom, who enjoys animals just about as much as I love children. My son loves taking dogs for walks and helping me care for them. It teaches him about responsibility, integrity, and so much more.. Plus we get to play with many different animals and who doesn't love that! I enjoy all breeds of dog whether they are large or small as long as they're friendly with children. I am very professional, and respectful of people, their homes and their pets and have never gotten a bad review from any customer that I've ever had. I always go the extra mile to make the customer and the pet feel as comfortable as possible because it's hard to leave a pet, and also hard for a pet when the owner leaves.

About: I have experience with all types of cats, dogs and small animals. I have had pets since I was a child and love them dearly. I work full time Monday- Friday but my job is flexible. I am able to walk your pet before or after work and on the weekends. If you have a small animals or cats, I can make daily drop ins or work woth you and your pets needs. I cannot watch your pets at my home because I live in an apartment. But I am willing to drop in at your home for walks or care. I can send updates and pictures of your pets and provide daily updates on how they are doing.

“Hannah was excellent in all the details and I will use her again!”
