“Dave and Shawna did a great job taking care of our kitties and updating us while we were away. You can tell they’re truly pet lovers!! Dave even made an extra courtesy stop for us to save a decoration that our cats had pushed out to the edge of a ledge, which we had noticed in the background of one of the photos he sent us - we really appreciated it!”

“Teresa always does an excellent job taking care of Beans, Norman and Baby Girl while I am away. She always gives detailed updates and lots of photos, which puts my mind at ease when I'm travelling. She also takes the time to give them attention and play with them which I really appreciate.”

About: Eight years ago, I had the privilege of finding my soul dog, who taught me just how beautiful and meaningful the bond between humans and animals can be. Learning to understand her unique personality, nonverbal communication, and individual needs deepened my patience, empathy, and intentionality in caring for animals. My sweet girl sadly passed away in November 2025, but the love and lessons she gave me continue to shape how I connect with animals today. I find so much joy in getting to know each animal as an individual, building trust, respecting their boundaries, and providing loving, attentive care that meets their unique needs. I currently share my home with two cats, and our household regularly welcomes dogs we're caring for. I also have experience house-sitting for friends and family, allowing their pets to remain comfortable in their familiar environment while maintaining their routines as closely as possible. I believe animals communicate so much when we take the time to listen and observe. Whether your pet is playful and outgoing or shy and needs a little extra patience, my priority is to help them feel safe, respected, loved, and understood while you're away. I'm currently self-employed, which allows me plenty of flexibility throughout the week to accommodate your pet's needs and routines! I'm available for drop-in visits, house sitting, and daily walks, including weekdays and weekends. I enjoy incorporating time with animals into my daily routine and am happy to coordinate schedules to ensure your pets receive consistent, attentive, and loving care. Whether it's a quick check-in, a long walk, or overnight companionship, I'm committed to making sure your pets feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. Creating a safe, comfortable, and trusting environment is my priority. My home has a fenced yard and two cats who are accustomed to dogs, though I prefer a meet-and-greet before confirming stays to ensure everyone feels comfortable. I can also accommodate crate-trained dogs. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I respect their individual needs, boundaries, and routines, providing patient, attentive care so they feel safe, loved, and understood while you're away.

“Krista is a phenomenal sitter who takes great care of my sweet girl while I’m away. They send lots of updates and photos, and is very accommodating when it comes to key exchanges! I will be booking with them again:)”

“Briana was great! She has a very good energy and was great with our cat. He’s got a few special needs and Briana handled them with ease. We felt very comfortable leaving our kitty in her care!”

“Ellen was very responsive, and agreed to check in on our kitties even without much advance knowledge for a holiday weekend. She made a separate trip to run through where the litter boxes and water bowls and treats were so that she was prepared when she was stopping by. We really appreciated her thoroughness!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was young; family and friends have trusted me with their pets. I take pride in ensuring your pets’ consistent routine is not interrupted. I love being active and playful with pets! My experience is with small-medium dogs and I am well-adapted to following each individual dog’s routine. I currently work full time, in office. I am available for morning and evening walks/check ins during the week. I am available full time beginning Friday afternoon into Sunday evening. The time I spend with your pet is fully dedicated to them and their needs. I appreciate every furry friend I come across and always want to make sure they are taken care of as if they’re my own.

“This was my first time using Clara, and I will definitely be reaching out to her again! She was wonderful with the girls and they seemed to really enjoy their time with her. I especially appreciated all of the photo updates during the visit. It was great to see the girls and know that they were getting lots of attention and having a nice visit while I was away. Clara was very attentive and made sure I knew how everything was going, which I really appreciated. Thank you, Clara, for taking such great care of my girls! We’ll definitely be happy to have you visit them again! 🐾❤️”

About: As a former dog therapy team member and frequent dog sitter, I have experience working with dogs of different personalities and temperaments. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners peace of mind that their pets are in caring, responsible hands. I have fully open availability and am happy to work with your schedule! I’m flexible with days and times and can accommodate a variety of scheduling needs. I live in an apartment near the Mississippi River, surrounded by beautiful walking trails and parks perfect for walks, exercise, and adventures with your dog!

“Doreen has been absolutely amazing with our kitty! She goes above and beyond to make sure he feels loved and cared for while we’re away, spending tons of time playing with him and sending us the sweetest pictures and updates. Seeing those photos is genuinely one of the highlights of our day whenever we’re out of town! It gives us so much peace of mind knowing he’s in such wonderful, caring hands. We truly couldn’t recommend Doreen enough to anyone looking for someone to love and care for their pets as much as they do. We’re so grateful for her and always look forward to having her watch our little guy!”

“Shykala watched my cat and she took so much thought in her care. She took the time to spend time with my cat so that she wasn’t bored while I was away. She sent a bunch of photos so I knew my pet was well taken care of. I will definitely be booking her again to watch my pet”

About: Dogs were a huge part of my life growing up. Although I've never been a dog owner myself, my family always had multiple pups at a time. So I feel decently comfortable hanging out with your furry friends 🥰 Currently at home full time looking to make money for college and medical expenses. Because of that I'm incredibly flexible when it comes to scheduling; most times will be available and I'm happy to take last minute bookings. I'll do my best to keep my availability calendar as up-to-date as possible. My pets have always been my priority. "Low-maintenance" is not in my dictionary, as I know all pets need dedicated care. For my own kitty girl I spend extra on meal time, make sure she has dedicated playtime with my full attention, tons of cuddles, and extra grooming care when needed. I promise to treat YOUR babies just like mine.

About: Iv been with animals for all of my life from fish to hamsters to big dogs. I even graduated from the school of environmental studies. Iv been taking care of our family dogs for years and even helping my grandma s with her own two. In the summer going out to the dog park and long walks to staying inside during the big snowstorms cuddled up. It feels weird not to have an animal by my side Iv delt with both young and elderly animals, giving them medication, care and proper treatment. I was toght to always leave a place in better condition then when you found it

“Taylor is great! She was super flexible in accepting our last minute request and our pup loved her walks!”

About: Hello, my name is Claire. I have been lucky enough to grow up surrounded by dogs and cats, and have pet sat many times for friends and family. Because of this, I have learned to care for animals at every stage of life. My experience ranges from command and walk training for puppies, to adhering to a regimented medicine routine for senior dogs, to doing daily playtime and pet waste clean-up. I am very tidy, organized, and am happy to adapt to you and your pets' needs. I also love to spend time outside, so I can promise plenty of walks and safe outside time for your pet. I'm excited to meet and care for your furry friend! I am a graduate student at the U of Minnesota, but I will have time outside of class for your dogs. I am most available to stay over on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday nights, as well as Wednesday and Friday during the day. On weekdays, I will be out for several hours at school in the middle of the day, but will be available for drop in visits or walks during the morning and late afternoon. While I do not offer boarding pets in my home, I am happy to do home visits that adhere to your pets' routine. I will respect what time they typically eat meals, wake up, play, go outside, and walk, as well as where they sleep in your home. I will also ensure that your home is kept clean during my stay.
