About: I share my genuine love for long walks and outdoor adventures—because a tired dog is a happy dog! I pair that exercise with plenty of treats, endless smiles, and lots of love. Whether it’s a relaxed stroll or a playful romp, I make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and truly cared for every step of the way I have a full time remote (work from home) career with flexibility to add some walks and cuddles to my day. I am able to drop in for a walk/feeding/attention or I can accommodate extra furry friends at our home. I am a wife and mom of an active family of 5 with 3 college kids and a 5 year old golden retriever. I live in a quiet neighborhood on a lake where I spend as much time as possible outdoors.

About: My entire life my family has always had two dogs, at least two cats, and a horse. My jobs have always involved animals. When I was in middle school and could not work I would spend my time volunteering at an animal rescue shop and at a horse stable taking care of the horses. My very first official job was at MN Horse and Hunt at the barn taking care of about 30 horses. I also had a 15 year old dog that sadly passed away recently. She had three legs due to an accident when she was a few months old. With this I have many years of experience taking care of a dog with special needs including special food, supplements, and even diapers. Every morning my dog or cat wakes me up, and it is time to let them outside and get ready for the day. Once I am ready they are more than excited to eat breakfast. Then I go to my morning class and let them out as soon as I get home. This is about my everyday schedule. The most important thing for me is making sure my pets are happy. I like to make sure they all get at least an hour a day of play and pets. I think playing is very important. Even my 12 year old cat is still very healthy, active, and playful. I believe the playtime really helps keep her body and joints healthy and capable.

About: Hi. My name is Carrie. I love all kind of animals. I have 2 cats right now. I used to have a hampster. I grew up having rodents. I never owned a dog but i sure love them. I used to live with a couple of dogs in thr past but they wasn't mine. I used help take the dogs for walks though and fed them as if they was my own dogs. I love walking them. I love playing with them. Like balls, freezbie. I live in a apartment building and am only allowed to have to pets that live me anyways. I can however babysit as many as pets like other cats or even dogs as i want. There is no rule on that. I just love animals all together. So feel free to message me if you are interested P.S. Just so you know I can't drive but I take metro mobility. I hope that is not a problem. Also, I have found out that i can't have anymore animals that aren't mine so I would have to travel to the Guest's house to watch their pets. I hope that is fine with everyone. I love cats and offer cat sitting as well as dog sitting! I’m happy to stay at your house or visit your kitty while you’re away.

About: I have been dog and cat sitting for over 10yrs. I usually stay at the owners house. Experienced with dogs with medical issues, and high anxiety. I have given medications and have done some training. I have done just overnight stays, but have also done 3month long stays. I am also a Hairstylist and Skin care specialist. I rent a chair at a salon and make my own schedule, so my hours are flexable. I enjoy spending time with pets, but just don't live in a place were I can have one. I am not married and have no children, so I am completely available and focused on your pet. I usually like to meet you and your pet/pets about 1week before the scheduled appointment, so I can get to know you, your pet and your pets routine, feeding times, walking, medications if needed, etc. This also helps the dog recognize me when I show up, when you aren't there.

About: I have loved animals from day one. I slept with so many stuffed animals my dad called my bedroom the animal kingdom. Which is now what I call my house. I have 2 cats and 3 dogs.

I want it to be a seamless transition for your pet. I will care for them how you see fit.

About: I've been watching animals for over 10 years and love it! I always ensure their physical needs are met along with the attention they deserve. I have plenty of free time while working my remote job. I love animals and ensuring their safety and daily routines go uninterrupted while their owners are gone. I care for pets by either, having them at my place, going to their owners house, or simply taking them on their routine daily walks.

“Great job! My babies were well taken care of and safe. Thank you!”

“She was awesome! I got picture and text updates. He had to lay low for a few days and she took the energy to keep him separated from the other dogs. She also came and picked him up when she was out and about, knowing it would make it easier for me. Chicken loved being with her and the family.”

About: I grew up with a household full of animals; dogs, cats, guinea pigs, gerbils, hamsters, rats, turtles, and even a rabbit. Starting at age 10, I have walked dogs, taken care of cats, chickens, and even fed little skunk babies in my neighborhood. My children are following my lead and love to help out on walks whenever an owner is comfortable. I tutor, math and science part time, and my daughter runs her bakery.
