Pet Sitting Harrison

About: I've always been a pet lover. Did pet sitting as a pre-teen and teenager. I had a soul cat for 15 years and a soul dog for 13 years. I have 2 grand-pups who I often dog sit or just take for a day adventure. I've had guinea pigs, hampsters, fish, you name it. I pass you and your animal on the street don't be offended by me going straight to them first! Animals (all animals) seem to love me back too which I LOVE! I'm currently not working or occasionally working remote contract jobs so I have plenty of time to spend spoiling your furr baby! And spoil them I will!!!! I have a condo in Minneapolis near the Sculpture Garden and Loring park. I am on the first floor with a patio and yard so plenty of space to do their business or to take a great walk. My building is small and very pet friendly. I'm also comfortable traveling out to your home since I'm central to the area.

“Ava was really amazing. She was very professional, and above all she was very thoughtful, kind and caring with our senior with special needs dog. She met with us prior to our scheduled drop ins so she was familiar with Cole’s needs and routines. She was an exceptional communicator, sending pictures and updating us with how things were going, and very understanding with our shy senior dog. We would highly recommend her and definitely look forward to using her again!”

About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my lifelong love and experience with animals—I grew up with pets of my own and truly understand the care and attention they need. As a dog lover at heart, I treat every pet like family. My passion for the outdoors means your dog will enjoy plenty of fresh air and long, enriching walks. I also have a special place in my heart for relaxed, elderly pets and am more than happy to provide the gentle care, patience, and extra snuggles they deserve. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priorities. I am currently a Physician Assistant student looking for a little extra cash before starting my full time job. I have a wide array of availability and will work with your schedule. I will foster a safe environment for your loved ones, making sure that all their needs are met! I am trustworthy and will put you and your animals best interest at heart.

“Kaitlyn did an amazing job! I felt I could really rely on her. My pet takes twice daily pills and Kaitlyn managed this really well. The pictures were very cute and it looked like the kitties enjoyed their time with her :) will definitely book again in the future!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have been a dedicated dog owner for over 8 years. For the past 3 years, I’ve also fostered pups, giving me experience with a wide range of temperaments and styles. I’m comfortable with everything from high energy personalities to shy or anxious dogs. I’m comfortable with senior dogs (my last pup was 18!), puppies and everything in between. At this time, I’m focusing on small and medium sized dogs so they will be the best match for my own dog and I can provide the best care possible. I work full time from home and am available to board in my house anytime for most lengths of time. Lots of time to play with your pup! Right now, I’m open to hosting small and medium pups—as they are the best matches for my own dog. My dog, Elliot, loves to go for walks (weather permitting) and we’d love for your pup to tag along! If the weather is bad, my yard is perfect for zoomies, ball/toy chasing, neighbor watching and basking in the sun. I have my own small pup who is energetic and loves to play, but isn’t pushy. I work from home so we are together all the time! We walk often—in the morning, at lunch and in evenings. I have a fenced in yard for potty breaks with lots of toys and enrichment. I am home most of the time, but would contain (kennel or pen if needed) when I leave and I’m also open to pups that aren’t kenneled but safe to leave out (I’d put away my own dog).

“Meg did a great job with our puppy! She was punctual and could see Marshall had a lot of energy, so she took him in a long walk!”

About: I’ve taken care of family dogs since I was a teenager. I am extremely comfortable around both large and small breeds, as I also work in veterinary medicine. My biggest priority is making sure your fur baby feels comfortable and taken care of I currently work 13 hour shifts Sundays-Tuesdays, meaning I’m 100% open for the other four days of the week. Despite those 13 hour work days, I get home and immediately spend time with my own cat. Pet care is one of my main priorities as an owner. I am very good at paying attention to detail and a routine. I am able to take your dog on their normal amount of walks and feed them their normal amount of meals. Medication administration also comes easy to me. The last thing I want to do is throw your pet off of their routine!

“Caroline is as so wonderful with our pup! She even stopped by last minute to do a little meet and greet before our visit to get familiar! Would definitely book with Caroline again”

“Ashley was very accommodating was able to book last minute and squeeze me in and still meet my kiddos needs. Communicative and fast response to any questions or concerns I had. Thanks”

“Jessica was fabulous! I can't say enough about how prompt, communicative, and accommodating she was with our cat. She went above and beyond to ensure everything was just right, and her updates gave us such peace of mind while we were away. I’m incredibly thankful for her care and will absolutely be using her again without hesitation!”

Jacqueline M.

“Andrew came through with almost no notice and showed up promptly—total lifesaver. He was kind, calm, and instantly won over Princess Leia 🐾 (she says he’s welcome back anytime to play). Highly recommend!”

“Emily was awesome - was on time - super easy to work with-Paid attention to details in the instructions. Sent regular updates and even brought in a delivery for me! My kitties are very grateful for her help !”

“Lauren was absolutely fantastic!! I couldn’t have picked a better sitter to make my cat feel comfortable and happy! Lauren went above and beyond with photos throughout every visit and A+ communication. She followed all directions as well as administered meds flawlessly. Thank you, Lauren! - Spice”

Sara M.

“Anne is great with my senior cat. Always coming up with new ways to engage her when I am away, or cool to chill if Socks just isn’t feeling frisky. 10/10 would recommend!”

Kama D.

“Clara took excellent care of my kitties while I was away! Great communication and response time. I would recommend Clara for any of your pet sitting needs!”

About: Experienced professional dog trainer specializing in reactive behavior. Grew up around many pets. As an adult worked at an animal shelter where I fell in love with the misunderstood dogs who ended up there. Went on to train and care for dogs at a couple different boarding/daycare facilities, trained dogs at Petsmart for time, and finally graduated to working with reactive (aggressive) dogs at a training/boarding facility. Stepped away from this profession to work on other aspects of my life, and am now looking to lend a helping hand to those who may need it. I’m at home and available most weekdays and weekends. My main priority in life right now is caring for my dog Mushu, who is mildly active and great with other dogs. 6 months ago we lost his brother, Pagoda, so we’ve been missing having another dog around for walks and outings, as well as just hanging out at home. My schedule is mostly wide open these days. I have a lot of experience earning trust and familiarity with hesitant or selective dogs. My knowledge of dog body language gives me insight as to what your dog may be trying to communicate and what their personal boundaries are. Currently at home I have a single Chinese Shar Pei named Mushu who gets along great with other dogs, but is naturally weary of strangers. Because of my experience with guarding breeds, I’ve learned how to not appear threatening and allow time for dogs to confirm I’m safe to be around. I’m familiar with kenneling up dogs, putting on different types of collars, giving meds, giving injections, specific feeding requirements, etc. Because of my job history I’ve become an expert in avoiding possible mishaps (escaping, biting, choking, overheating, etc.) I’ve worked with and cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds. Cats, fish, and reptiles have also been a part of my life since childhood so I’m familiar with their care as well.

“Amber is AMAZING! Our puppy Reya enjoys every minute with Amber. And...we get THE BEST pictures after her visits! Thank you for spending time with our little lady when we cannot!”

“Ryan took such great care of my cat while I was away! He went out of his way to give her extra attention, took lots of sweet pictures to send me, and kept her fed and happy while I was out of town. He was communicative, friendly, and clearly cares about the pets under his watch.”

About: I'm missing my own dogs at home, so Rover has been the perfect solution! After taking some time away from pet sitting, I'm back and recently settled in Minneapolis—ready to bring the same care and attention I always have. I'm attentive to walks, bathroom breaks, and lots of love, and happy to follow any instructions you give me. I have experience with rescues who have emotional needs, puppies, and elderly dogs on medication. While you're away, I'll send photo and video updates plus texts throughout the day so you always know your pup is well cared for. I also have a laid-back, dog-friendly cat who keeps to herself but loves having guests as much as I do. Together, we'll make sure your dog feels right at home! I am new to the area but work remotely so my schedule is flexible! I’m able to leave at whatever time is needed to care for your pet. I will respect your space and home and follow all instructions with precision and care! I take pride in making sure spaces are better than when I left them!
