Dog Sitting in Lake Elmo

About: I’ve worked with dogs and cats in many different ways. I have owned dogs my entire life, plus a few cats. I volunteer at the Humane Society in Kansas City while at school where I work directly with the shelter dogs. I have house sat for multiple family friends and am ready to take on new pups and cats! I am currently home from school for the summer so am looking to fill the time. I work part time as a server a few times a week. During the day I often just workout, read a book, or hang with my own dogs. I have fostered a dog before and can adjust well to your dogs needs. I’ve practiced crate training, furniture restrictions, and other small training tasks. My house has an open yard which my dogs are free to run around in when they are not on leash to go potty.

About: I've had dogs my entire life; have helped walk, feed, and bath dogs of all sizes and breeds since I was 13. I currently have 2 dogs of my own. I currently work flexible jobs that allow me to be free during the day and evening hours to help take care of your animals. I am available to drop in and take your dog on a walk, or give your dog a bath if needed while I'm there. I will follow your instructions on how to best care for your dog while I am with them. I can easily help you out by playing with your dog to get them some exercise.

About: I have a very flexible schedule and I'm happy to be there for walks and potty breaks or house and pet sitting as-needed. Minnesota native. I look forward to hearing from you. I have a small dog of my own and I take her for walks as needed, although she has severe arthritis and needs daily medication and monitoring. I am accustomed to letting her out to go to the bathroom at least every 4-5 hours. She is my pride and joy, and I'll ensure your canine family member is treated with equal care. I also care for my mother's large dogs often and grew up with larger breeds. There are 3 dogs in my household already, so boarding your dog at my residence may be a challenge, but I have done it before with enough time for a couple meet and greets beforehand. I am more than willing to come to you for your overnight needs or for daily walks and playdates.

“Malcalisha took very good care of my Buddah and managed to bond with him when I hadn't ever seen him not be terrified of other people. She sent updates every day via photo and video, and was very responsive to messages.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life, so caring for them is second nature to me! From bouncy puppies who need patience and consistency to sweet senior pups who enjoy a slower pace, I love them all. I’m happy to help with basic training, stick to routines, and make sure every pet gets plenty of love, attention, and tail wags while you’re away I’m in school, but I make plenty of time for pets! I can fit walks, playtime, and care into my daily and weekly schedule, so every pet gets attention, love, and fun while I balance school. I keep pets safe, happy, and comfy wherever they are! In your home, I follow your instructions and make sure they have food, water, and lots of love. In my home, I create a cozy, pet-friendly space with plenty of supervision, cuddles, and fun so every pet feels safe and cared for

“Payton was great. Unfortunately my kitties went into hiding, so not much interaction. Hopefully next visit the kitties will be braver and Payton will get a chance to interact a bit more. Overall she did a great job; I’ll definitely call her in the future.”

About: I have experience with dogs of all ages I have had puppies and elderly dogs! I also have experience with administering medications and sick animals. I am available any time after 11am on Tuesdays, I also have a flexible work schedule that allows me to walk or visit your dog at almost any time! When in a client home I like to make sure the dog stays in their routine they have so that they can remain stress free, for each dog I like to make sure they get the correct amount of exercise for their age and energy level!

“Jamie is absolutely amazing. She really cares and you can tell. Conan (Vizsla - 5yrs old) fell in love with her the minute they met! And he was such a happy and tired boy when I returned home. Thank you Jamie for taking such good care of my baby!”

“My pets really love Carolyn and she is so nice to them both! The pictures she sends over are great and I feel so much more comfortable knowing she is taking care of them when I’m away.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life and regularly help neighbors, friends, and family with pet sitting and drop-in visits. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, administering basic medications, and caring for both energetic puppies and senior pets. I treat every animal like my own and prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication with owners. I work full-time but maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate daily drop-ins, walks, and overnight care when needed. Pet care is built into my routine — caring for my own animals is the first and last part of every day. I prioritize reliability and consistency, and I communicate clearly about availability. My home has a fully fenced yard with plenty of secure space for supervised outdoor play. Inside, I have hardwood floors and an open layout with room for pets to relax comfortably. I have two crates available if needed and maintain structured areas for feeding, water, rest, and play. Safety, supervision, and routine are my top priorities, and I ensure pets are monitored and comfortable at all times.

I have some experience with varying dog behaviors and always enter into meetings with safety in mind making sure that i'm doing all I can to to ensure your furry friend feels safe and met where they are at.

About: I've had lots of experience with a wide variety of dogs from family pets to working with Wag! I have a 8 month old German Shepard/Lab, Opal, so I am comfortable with puppies and high energy breeds. I also have experience caring for senior animals. I am currently a stay-at-home mom. I am mostly available for weekend care but can do walks & check ins during the week if I bring my youngest with me. I am open to boarding and other care during the weekends. I have a fenced in yard for lots of fetch & play time. We love walks & hiking so lots of opportunities for exercise, fun & bonding with the dogs. I also have experience with crating if that is necessary.

About: Hello! My name is Jacki. I send daily photos (more often if you prefer) to provide you peace of mind that your pet is being well loved while you are away. I maintain the same rules/setup you have for your pet so the transition for then and you. I am well versed in working with dogs of all sizes. I know how difficult it can be to find reliable care. I thought joining this site would give me an opportunity to love on some other dogs and help other dog owners. I love going for runs, walks and hikes and know some of the best trails in the area. I know all the local dog parks and love to visit those as well. I’m comfortable with all sizes of dogs but have a special place in my heart for big dogs! I look forward to working for you! I work remotely and have a flexible schedule that promotes the ability to take breaks as needed. I can adjust my schedule as needed to meet your needs. I have attended dog training with both of my pets and I am confident in my ability to ensure your pet receives the same care they would from you. I’ll follow any training or protocols you have in place to ensure peace of mind for you and a smooth transition for them.

About: I have lived with cats since I was 14 years old and have looked after cats and dogs independently since I was 16. I am comfortable with administering medications from my time working at Grand Avenue Veterinary Clinic. I typically work a week day that leaves me away from the house from the hours of 7am to 7pm. Please consider this when determining if I would be a good option for caring for your furry family! As I will be in your and your pets home, making sure everyone is comfortable with me in the space! My goal is to make your pet as comfortable as possible while you are away. If you have any specific concerns about going on walks or interacting with other humans and pets please let me know so I can abide by what works best for your family. I have been trained on how to pill animals who are nervous about medication to ensure that your pet recieves their medication and remains safe and supported in the process. If you should ask me to take care of your home I make sure to grab the mail daily and follow the motto of leave it better than you found it! I want to have you to come home to a clean house.

“We’re so happy with the care that Jill provided for our pups! She was wonderful, caring, and understanding when our appointment ran very long. We look forward to having Jill back in the future!”
