“Monika did great walking our dog every day for a week while we were on a vacation. We had complete trust that our dog was in good hands. She also went the extra mile by giving our other dog some attention while she was at our house.”
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life! I treat my dog as my child and he loves playmates. I have been a foster with Cocos Heart Dog Rescue for over four years, where I have provided a home for shy, breeder release dogs, and within days, we have become best friends. I am a go to for watching my friends and neighbors dogs. I love everything from play time with young puppies, and the sweet cuddles with senior dogs. I work fully remote, so pets get frequent attention, play time, and walks. My dog gets fed once in the morning and one at night, but I am flexible with feeding schedules and keep dogs separate during feeding time. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I strive to create a calm, safe, and welcoming environment where every dog can feel at home. I understand that being in a new space can feel overwhelming, so I always give new dogs plenty of time to sniff, explore, and get comfortable at their own pace without feeling rushed. I have a friendly, confident dog of my own, and I take introductions seriously. When a new dog arrives, I keep my dog in a separate area so the new pup can explore and settle in independently before they meet. I believe in slow, supervised introductions and always pay attention to each dog’s body language and comfort level. I also take precautions to keep my home pet-friendly, prevent access to potential hazards, and ensure dogs have their own space to relax. I want every pup in my care to feel safe, loved, and right at home, with plenty of attention, patience, and affection.
About: DEDICATED TO YOUR PET ONLY when sitting! I only allow one reservation at a time. I raised a beloved 4 year old dog named Leo and recently lost him to an immune disease. I’m passionate about sharing my love for pets and experiences with others. I enjoy spending time with dogs, taking them on walks, and have a great fenced-in yard for their safety and enjoyment. Let me provide a caring and loving environment for your furry friend. I do not always update my availability, so please reach out if you don’t see a date that works! I work from home Monday & Friday. I’m also around most weekends. I like being active and outdoors. My fenced it yard would be great place for us to play! I no longer have a dog and will only have one dog at a time for sitting. This will allow for safety and prevent issues. My yard is fenced in and my house is clean and safe.
About: Your pets are part of your family, and they deserve the best care possible. That's exactly what I give every animal I look after. I'm a proud cat mom to Salam and Binx, and I've been caring for other people's pets for years. I've dog sat for my family's goldendoodle for several years and regularly look after friends' cats. I also volunteered at Caring for Cats, where I got hands-on experience with cats of all personalities.

I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I can easily fit visits and walks around your pet's routine rather than squeezing them in. I offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking for cats and small to medium dogs in and around Lake Elmo. I don't host pets in my home, so all of my care happens in yours. Your pet stays in the environment they know best, with their own bed, their own routine, and none of the stress that comes with a new place. In-home visits: Fresh food and water, litter box scooped or potty break handled, medications given as directed, and real time spent with your pet. Play, brushing, or a quiet lap sit, depending on what they're into. I don't rush in and out. Dog walking: Leashed walks at a pace that fits your dog, whether that's a brisk loop or a slow sniff around the block. I keep a close eye on other dogs and traffic, and I always clean up. While you're away: I'm happy to bring in mail and packages, adjust blinds, and keep an eye on things so your home looks lived in. I leave everything exactly as I found it. Before every booking I do a meet and greet so we can go over your pet's routine, quirks, medical needs, and anything that makes them nervous. I want to know where the leash lives and what your vet's number is before you ever leave. You'll get daily photo updates, and I'm always reachable if something comes up.

“Kari was great and very professional. Even though my pup was just a little too rambunctious on their walk Kari did the professional thing, and let me know for his safety it wasn’t a great fit, and I very much appreciated her honesty and professionalism! Once I get my pup some extra training we do hope to use Kari in the future!”

“Katy gave Sadie a great walk! She is incredibly responsive and made my day trip very convienent. She fed Sadie, gave her a great walk, and set her up for success for the rest of the day by hooking her up with a treat that I left. Katy was great at letting me know what was going on and reliable. I will definitely hire her again!”

About: I’ve been caring for my own pets and helping others with theirs for over 8 years. I grew up with a Border Collie, a cat, and two guinea pigs, and they have became some of my best friends.

At home, I always make sure the doors are closed and the gates are locked to prevent any pets from getting out.

Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
