House Sitting Hermantown

About: Hi my names Eva, I have lived with dogs my entire life (mainly German Shepherds). I regularly go hiking, and I walk at least 4 miles everyday. I worked at a pet store for 3 years, and am dedicated to giving pets the best care possible. I am currently going to college, and I have a part time job. In between classes and on days I have off I will be able to stop by to take care of your pets and walk them. I can come over to let dogs out to go to the bathroom, feed them, simple check in, and walk them. I am dedicated to fitting you and your pets needs.

“Very comforting to know my dogs were well cared for and home in their own beds. Everything was really great. And, had very relaxed dogs when I got home!”

About: I have never lived in a house without a dog or cat. I lost my Riley last year and have found that caring for others' four legged loved ones really fills my heart more than I imagined. I have the most experience with small-medium sized dogs and cats but I love big dogs as well and am strong enough to keep control of them when needed. I am not certified as an animal trainer, though through my life, I have gained practical experience and knowledge of teaching basic commands and tricks for younger or older dogs. I frequently helped care for my mom's dog who was blind and had mobility issues. I have also cared for numerous older dogs and dogs with special needs through Rover. I currently work overnights, so I will have availability for almost any time every day and most weekends. I will keep my schedule as up to date as possible. I have just recently moved to a new house where the front yard is filled with goldenrod for the bees. It doesn't look like a typical yard so I wanted to just give that heads up! When boarding and/doing day care I like to stick to the animal's usual schedule as closely as possible. I enjoy taking dogs to a dog park and walking on the trails around there. I also live in a neighborhood that is walking friendly and there is a large back yard for running/playing in. For overnights, your dog will not be alone. Someone will always be at the house with them. At your house, I will follow the rules of the house and, again, keep the animal's routine as close to usual as possible.

“Jaquelyn was wonderful and stayed at our house to watch our dog and cat for a long weekend. She sent daily updates and photos on how the pets were doing and she even took our dog Lucy to get a pup cup! She left the house clean and tidy.”

“Clint did a great job with our 3 dogs! It is clear that he loves animals which gives us a lot of peace of mind being away. He sent lots of pictures and updates on what the dogs were up to. I appreciated how communicative he was leading up to sitting and being so thorough in asking questions. Would definitely recommend him and we would love to have him again in the future!”

“We could not have asked for a better person to care for our pets and our home while we were away. We were nervous to leave, as we have never left them for such an extended time period, but Sav completely put our nerves at ease. She was calm, responsive, and knowledgeable. We loved that she looked at the whole picture, and not just the physical care. She was professional, considering the emotional needs of our anxious pup as well as keeping up with training and exercise. It is apparent that she does not do this as a side gig, but is truly a pet care professional. She lived in our home during this time and left the house as clean as when we handed it over to her. Thank you Sav, we will reach out again!”

“Ruby was great with Oslo! She was responsive and professional. We’d happily hire Ruby again!”

About: I’ve had cats my entire life and have dog-sat for numerous friends and family. I truly love animals and always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m reliable, attentive, and will treat your pets like family. I am currently a student at UMD and work part time ag the daycare at the YMCA. Currently only have one in person class so would love to fill my time with animals! I make safety my top priority by always following pet parents’ instructions, keeping a close eye on pets, and creating a calm, loving environment where they feel safe and cared for!

About: I absolutely love all animals. I’ve cared for pets for over 10 years and have always loved being around them. I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors with walking, feeding, playtime, and basic care. I’m very active, patient, and loving, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. :) I am currently a college student, so I am home for most of the day. On weekdays, I may leave for short periods, only about an hour at a time for classes or errands. But of course I make sure all pets are checked on regularly and their routines are followed closely. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I follow all care instructions closely, keep pets in a safe and clean environment, and make sure they feel comfortable and loved. I’m attentive to behavior changes and always prioritize each pet’s safety and well-being.

About: From St Bernards to Yorkies we have sat for a wide variety of pets. Our family, including Banjo the Beagle would love to host your pup. We are conveniently situated in The Lincoln Park Craft District- 2 blocks away from the trail and daily trail walks are an important part of our routine. My daily routine consists of 2 miles of dog walking- at least. As a teacher I am off in the summer, so I have lots of time to spend with your pup. During the school year I work nearby by and could cruise home for a midday potty break at lunch-as needed. I have a very social 4 year old dog to keep your pet entertained. I live very near excellent dog walking trails. If you have a social dog we love dog park trips.

About: Hello, my name is Aiden and in 23. I have always enjoyed caring for all kinds of animals, being their comfort, as well as building loving connection. I have looked after family/friend's pets in the past. I also have experience with all types of temperaments, anxious, shy, behavioral, no problem!! I can’t remember a single time in my life where I haven’t had a furry companion by my side! I can handle any dog or cat, big or small, high energy, low energy, shy/timid, behavioral, easy going, etc. I never stop learning things about animals so you can be rest assured knowing a reliable person is looking after your pets, & treating them as if they are my own! I’m available all day on the weekends for walks, house sitting or check ins. On weekdays I’m available on Tuesdays after 1pm, all day Wednesdays & am available on Mondays, Thursdays & Fridays after 6:30pm:) I strive to ensure the safest & most comfortable environment possible. Whatever it is your pet may need in order to feel safe & comfortable I will do! On walks your dog will always be kept on their leash to ensure their safety, as well as the safety of any other animals or humans we encounter while out & about. While in your home your pet will never be left unattended, & will never be bored because I will provide as much stimulation for them as possible.

“Julia stayed with my 3 mo. old kitten and did a great job caring for and playing with him! I got regular pics of him in action and resting, which made me feel good while away. House was in great shape when I got back and couldn't have been any happier with her care!”

“Vern loved her!! He was in good hand with Charlie.”

About: I specialize in large dog breeds as I have 1 Pyrenees and 1 golden retriever myself. They are both very well trained and certified ESA’s. I don’t have any special skills such as pet training, just really good with dogs. I am a full time nurse and I’m off every other week. I would love to take/walk dogs on my weeks off. I have always had a dog in my family. I’d love to hang out with your furry friends! I have two big loving dogs to keep yours company. We will spend a lot of time outside hiking and going for walks! If your pet is not staying at my house we will still have fun going for runs, walks, or being outside.

About: I have never lived without having both a dog and a cat in my house. Current residents include 2 dogs and 2 cats, but my family has fostered cats/kittens for about 8 years and dogs/puppies for about 5. I have taken care of neighbor's pets for both drop-in visits and extended care periods. I am currently in Graduate School and missing my animals so I would love to come visit yours!! I'm currently taking classes for my Graduate program on weekdays and I would love to use pet care as a break from homework in the evenings or weekends! I have experience with animals with many different personalities, and I have developed the skill to adjust my approach to each pet to match what they need from a caretaker. Trust between me, you as the owner, and your pet is incredibly important to me, so I am happy to learn how to best support each dog or cat's safety and happiness!

About: Hey there! I'm Amelia, animal care taker, walker, and veteran pet sitter. I own two dogs and one cat of my own that my husband while be watching while I care for yours! I love getting to know each of your animals personalities and making sure they get the attention they need. Some one is always home so your pet is never alone for long. Mornings start outside — we're on acreage so there's real space to move. The rest of the day is a mix of work, outdoor time, and hanging out together. Low-key, consistent, present. Your animal is part of the household while they're here, not a guest in a kennel. Safe outdoor space, resident animals who are calm and social, and a home where the animals genuinely run the show.
