About: Hi! My name is Ella and I am 18 years old. I have had both cats and dogs in my home since I was born and have loved being around animals from a very young age. I feel very comfortable caring for and being around both cats and dogs. I currently am a cat foster parent for The Bond Between, a cat and dog rescue organization and have adopted two cats and a dog from them. Aside from fostering, I also volunteer there as an animal caretaker where I get hands on experience with both cats and dogs. I have a pretty open summer with plenty of time to take dogs for potty breaks or stop in for some cat playtime! I am available daily and happy to spend time with your kitty. The safety and comfort of both you and your pet are my top priority. As a caregiver, my responsibility is to provide a trusting and comfortable environment for your furry friend. I am attentive and organized which will help me successfully provide top notch care. I am confident in my abilities to feed, walk, play and clean up after cats and dogs.

“Brittany has done a wonderful job walking our new puppy!!”

“Responded quickly, arrived on time, and was a delight with my puppy and he had a wonderful time. Will book again soon!”


About: Hi! I would be absolutely honored to care for your dog or walk your dog. Growing up, I helped take care of two family dogs - a beagle and a shihtzu-poodle mix. Now, I have my own furry companion. He is an American Staffordshire Terrier/Cattle Dog mix named Remmy, who I rescued in March of 2020. We’re an active duo, enjoying morning and evening walks every day, and sometimes a midday stroll too! He is good at adapting to any dog's energy level whether it wants some space or wants to play. He is such a sweet dog. Whether your dog needs lots of exercise or just a bit of fresh air, I can tailor their activity level to what suits them best. My dog gets along great with other dogs, so whether your pup loves to play or simply cuddle, they’ll have a fantastic time. I recently moved to a spacious 3-bedroom condo in Wayzata, with a nearby private fenced-in dog area, nearby walking trails, and close proximity to the lake. During your dog's stay, you can rest assured that your pup will receive all the love, attention, and care they deserve while staying with me. I also love sending updates and photos so you can stay connected to your pup while you’re away, just like I appreciate when someone watches my dog! If you have any daily pills or special diet requirements, please let me know as my dog has an allergy pill he takes every day, and I also prep his meals every week (so you can count on me to responsibly give them what they need.) If you are hiring me to walk your dog, it can be with or without my dog, whatever your preference is! Looking forward to meeting your dog and making sure they have the best time! If I am unavailable, there is a chance my fiance is available! If that's of any interest to you too, please let me know! :) Morning: Feed, provide fresh water, take them for a walk or playtime. Midday: A check in for potty breaks, treats, or light activity. Tend to their needs dependent on their energy levels Evening: Another meal, exercise (walk, play, or training), and cuddle time before bed I feed them daily. I give them the exercise they need. I like to make sure my plans revolve around the dogs during their stay so that your dog gets plenty of attention and love (I am a homebody!). :)

“Taylor was super great and so sweet. She made me feel much less anxious about leaving my dogs home alone for so long and the complicated process she had to go through to get into my apartment. She also made it a point to hang out in my apartment with my pups if she got back from their walk early. Definitely recommend!!”


“Dave was great!!! He was ready to step in and take care and take Oliver on a couple walks each day who is a 7 month old puppy that is super energetic and loving and thankfully persuaded with treats!!! We appreciated Dave’s help and will absolutely be booking with him again!”


About: I’ve been an animal lover from a very young age. I have raised and cared for a variety of animals including dogs, cats, rats, mice, birds, game birds, waterfowl, lizards, and tropical fish. Rehabilitated a House Sparrow who had a broken wing when I was in primary school. I work full time during the weekdays and will have plenty of time on the weekends to walk and play with your fur babies. As a pet parent, I understand how hard it is to find quality, reliable and trustworthy care for your babies. I am available all day for boarding and dog walking on the weekends weekends. I have a fenced in yard with a friendly 10 yrs old princess. She plays very well with other dogs. There is a doggy pool setup if your dog likes the water. I can crate your pet as well.

About: Hello👋🏽I’m a passionate dog lover and pet stylist at a doggie daycare, with 6+ years of experience leading playgroups and 3 years as a professional groomer. I’ve developed a deep understanding of dog behavior, body language, and individual needs.🐾 I currently have the sweetest babies, a 12 year old lab and 2 laid back cats. I grew up caring for our rescued beagles from an animal testing facility, which taught me how to support sensitive or nervous pups with patience and compassion. Through daycare and grooming, I’ve worked hands-on with all kinds of breeds, coat types, and personalities. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend and help them feel safe, happy, and loved! I also offer nail trims if your pup is comfortable with it.✂️ I also enjoy cleaning in my spare time, so I’d be happy to offer light housekeeping or general tidying if that’s something you’d find helpful.🫧 Pet care fits into my routine really naturally. I work as a groomer and often have shorter days, usually finishing around 2 or 3 PM, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet sitting in the evenings. I’m also available most weekends for drop-ins and walks. Since I already spend my days caring for animals, it feels like a natural extension of what I love to do! I typically pet sit in the owner’s home, where pets feel most comfortable and secure. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely—every pet is different, and I do my best to stick to their usual routine, whether that’s feeding times, walks, play, medications, or just extra snuggles. I’m respectful of your home and treat it with care, just like I do with your pets!

About: I have been a dog / cat sitter for my friends, family and neighbors since I was 13. My family had both dogs and cats in the house when I was growing up. I love spending time with animals and getting to know their unique personalities. I especially enjoy taking dogs for walks and playing with them outside to help expend their energy. I currently work from home in a corporate position. I have plenty of free time and would love to spend some of it taking care of animals. Typically, I am staying over at the client’s home for the duration of their trip / vacation. The client will often have me over to their home prior to their departure to meet the animal(s) and go over their needs and any other special requests they may have. It is very important to me that the client feels safe entrusting me to stay in their home and take care of their pets.

About: i don’t have a dog of my own, but i have experience babysitting friends and family’s dogs. i also helped at the humane society with feeding, walking and providing enrichment for dogs. i am currently a full time high school student. so any pet care visits or walks would be after school hours, after 3pm is the best. i have 3 cats of my own so i feed, clean, and play with them. in a clients home i would do the same and respect any rules or expectations they have with their household.

About: Retired engineer and animal lover. High level of empathy and compassion for others. I look forward to taking great care of your animals. Thank you. I am a retired mechanical engineer and I have plenty of free time. I am able to assist for short and long periods of time. I will follow any and all rule you have with your animals. I do not have a fenced yard but would take multiple walks per day.

About: I grew up taking care of animals and having a passion for it. I am currently a full-time Certified Veterinary Technician. I have a lot of knowledge on animal care and behavior for all types of animals, mainly working with cats and dogs but in the past have owned different exotics and work with them from time to time in the veterinary setting. I can't wait to meet your furry friends! I am currently working full time at a veterinary clinic. We have longer shifts so I have off on Mondays and Thursdays as well as on weekends. Looking to fill my time with more animal care outside of the veterinary setting. I am comfortable with any size animal and any age, I've worked with all different variations of animals. I would love to provide company to your pets in their own homes and give them lots of love, exercise and enrichment while I care for them.

About: Our family simply adores dogs. I personally have owned a dog for the majority of my life and have raised two puppies. My kids (13 and 11 y.o.) love dogs and dogs love them too. We have a very spacious fenced yard and my kids love playing with dogs and keeping them active in our backyard. We also take dogs for nightly walks. Our 6-year old (29lbs) cockapoo does great with dogs of her size or smaller, also with dogs that have moderate energy. She does not seem to feel too comfortable with high energy dogs and that are significantly bigger than her. We don't crate (unless your pooch prefers it) and our guest dogs will sleep with us in bed (if they want). As a rule of thumb, we will not have more than 3 dogs at our house at the same time (our dog + 2 guest dogs). Your furry child will feel right at home with us as we will shower him/her with love and LOTS of cuddles and will treat him/her as part of our family 🐾❤️ I work mostly from home so I'm usually available to spend time with your dog giving them the love and attention they need. We currently have a dog of our own ( 6 y.o. cockapoo) who we care for daily. She is a very friendly dog. We have a fenced back yard and one dog of our own to keep your dog company. We also walk our dog on daily basis to give her extra exercise. My 13 and 11-year old kids love playing with the dogs.

“Hi! My name is Jeff, and Jana takes wonderful care every weekday (and even some weekends!) of Eddie, my Havanese. Eddie loves Jana. He knows that when he is being cared for by Jana, he will be fed, walked, kept safe, and loved.
