Pet Sitting in Hopkins

“Very reliable. Extremely pleasant do work with. I am calling her, “The Cat Whisperer!” Our cat, Marty, is very shy and never comes out for strangers. He doesn’t trust easily. But he sure trusted Heidi. She was patient, intuitive and clever! He not only came out for her, he followed her wherever she went. It was such a treat to get gorgeous pictures and fun videos of Marty while we were gone for the first time ever. He will miss Heidi.”

“Sara was wonderful! We needed someone last minute and she was so helpful and responsive when I reached out. She was also really good with our dogs and they responded well to her even though she had never met them. We have one dog with diabetes who needs insulin shots and she was very comfortable with this. We'll definitely be using Sara again in the future!”

“This was our second booking with Patricia, and she’s just incredible. This request came together on relatively short notice, and she responded quickly, even late at night, which we really appreciated. Even for a brief one-day booking, she was thoughtful, conscientious, and genuinely engaged with our cats. Her updates were detailed, funny, and reassuring, with lots of great photos. We feel very lucky to have found her and so lucky she’s nearby..”

“Our experience with Kate was great! She kept us very well informed about what our scaredy-cats were up to while we were gone. We would recommend her and book her again.”

About: If you’re looking for someone dependable to drop in on your pup or take them out for some fresh air and exercise, I am here to help! Working from home gives me the unique ability to step away and dedicate my full attention to walking, check-in services, and boarding for your furry family members. Dogs have been the center of my family's world since we got our first puppy 25 years ago. After our beloved 14-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback passed away in January 2026, we realized just how much we missed the routine of caring for a dog. I love interacting with dogs of all shapes and sizes. Through fostering numerous puppies, I have mastered the art of leash training and high-energy play. Furthermore, because our own dog was deaf and lived to a ripe old age, we are uniquely equipped to provide gentle, specialized care for elderly or disabled dogs during drop-ins, walks, and some boarding. I promise to bring peace of mind with plenty of updates and love! Working from home full-time Monday through Friday gives me incredible flexibility throughout the week. Because my desk is just a few steps away, I am able to seamlessly structure my day around your dog's needs—taking regular, dedicated breaks to provide refreshing neighborhood walks, interactive playtime, and frequent outdoor potty rests. Your pup will enjoy consistent companionship and routine care without me ever having to leave the house for an office commute. I live in a rambler with a walk-out basement and a large yard. We live near a couple of parks, and I love taking the dogs for walks.

About: My wife and I have had paws in our house almost from day 1. Over the years we have had 6 dogs and 7 cats, all of which came on board as puppies or kittens, and they all lived long and happy lives. Currently we have 1 dog and 2 cats. I am now retired, so I have maximum flexibility to schedule sitting/walking times. The biggest competitors for my time are the grandkids, and the lawnmower in the summer and snow shovel in the winter. Our cats are indoor cats with access to a screen porch to satisfy their outdoor desires. We have used the Invisible Fence for our previous larger dogs. The client would set the requirements for care at the pet's home. I also have walking shoes and a leash for doggie exercise. I have not signed up to care for client's animals at our house.

About: I have taken care of my family pets since I was little. In high school I took care of neighbor’s dogs and others who needed the extra hand in taking dogs for walks and making sure they had food, water, and were happy. I have a full time job and usually work 8 hours during the day Sunday-Thursday. I am available in the mornings and evenings during those days, Friday afternoons, and all day Saturdays. While taking care of clients pets, I will make sure they have plenty of water, food, exercise, and all instructions the owners leave are followed. I care for all animal's health and well-being and will go out of my way to make sure they are taken care of how their owners would want them and how I would take care of my own pets.

“Outstanding care! This was our first time leaving the boys home and it went so smoothly with Jana!”

“Brynn is doing such a great job ! I have a wiggly, small puppy and she wrangles him beautifully! I always know I can trust Brynn to do a good job. She lets me know that he goes potty, eats his snack and a play time. It’s not easy to potty train in winter weather but she’s getting the job done! I totally recommend Brynn!”

“Lindy took care of our 2 cats and she did a great job. I appreciated that she was willing to come over to meet them prior to my trip. She also spent extra time on the first day looking around the house for one of the cats. He was hiding under a bed. Her concern about making sure he was OK demonstrates her love of animals and professionalism.”

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was little. I grew up always having a dog in the house, and pet sitting for neighbors' dogs and cats. I also have some experience in a small animal clinic, as well as caring for my sisters dog when she is away. I am a full-time student at CSU, but I have time in between classes, and they generally end around 2-3. My evenings are more open and I am flexible to fit to the needs of the animal. I am very comfortable with dogs and am good at reading body language. I am comfortable distributing meds, food , water, etc. I am willing to have dogs in my car if we were to go to a park, etc.

“Pat was flexible with some unforeseen changes and willing to help out if she could. Good communication, even crawled next to the bed where one of my cats was hiding to give her some love. My other cat wasn't as shy and Pat gave her lots of love and belly rubs.”

About: I've been caring for others pets since I was 10yo. Prissy & Ginger (a Boston Terrier & a Pug) were my first loves as I would walk my neighbors dogs for companionship when I could not have my own. As an adult, I still pet-sit for friends, most frequently a 5yo Tamaskan when his owner travels. I was a part-time vet-tech in college and work in a (human) clinic as an adult, so I understand special needs, different medications, and the roll of compassion for all conditions. I work out of the home all week, so can accomodate unique schedule needs. My home has 3 areas that a pet can be isolated from others, if needed. I also have a large (unfenced) yard for endless roaming and sniffing, and a 2nd story deck overlooking my back acre for fun and safe wildlife viewing for leisurely sunny afternoons. I'm around my home most times while I work out of the home. Unique schedules can be easily managed, and special dietary or medical needs tended to. In boarding other peoples pets, I do my best to keep their usual routine to maximize their comfort and minimize stress while mom/dad are away. I have several spaces that can be closed off for isolation if needed for care, sleeping or feeding separately, or they can have the whole house to roam, if that is their preference. I have 2 leashes/tethers (40' or 20') to explore the yard and a box full of toys for chewing, pulling, fetching as needed - or bring your own favorite toys, we'll play with those!

“Kolleen was so helpful to do drop-ins for a few days while we were away and our primary dog watcher was at work during the day. As a beagle owner she understood our crazy beagles very well and I could tell they were excited to see her each day from the photos she sent! She made sure to capture their cutest angles too! I would absolutely trust her again with our dogs for boarding or a drop in visit!”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 10 and have experience caring for them at every stage of life. From training and running around with energetic puppies to loving and supporting my sweet 14 year old childhood dog, Stanley. I have a genuine, deep love for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personality quirks ;) I truly connect with each one I meet 🤍 I currently work as a night-shift nurse, so I have plenty of off days in a row where I am in need of some puppy love! My boyfriend, whom I live with, works fully remote. So your furry friends will be cared for at all hours of the day :). I don’t currently have any pets, but I live near several parks and dog parks for plenty of outdoor time. My apartment also has a pet-washing station, perfect for cleaning up after a little too much fun! I’m happy to match your dog’s energy, whether that means long, active outings or slow, cozy days at home. I’ve experienced both ends of the spectrum: from a rambunctious puppy to my sweet 14 year old dog who loves nothing more than lounging for hours.
