House Sitting in Lester Prairie

“Karri was great with our elderly dog while we were gone for a week. She stayed in our home and took care of him like he was her own. She went over and above in taking care of Ben. He has ongoing health issues that can change very quickly and she easily adapted to his needs, gave meds and even completed ear cleanings when needed. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter. We will not hesitate to have Karri stay with Ben again.”

“Allysa did a wonderful job with my girls. She sent me pictures and was great at communicating things. She would reach out with questions. My girls were so happy to be able to stay at home while I went to a family wedding. I would highly recommend her and I will use her again!!!”

About: I am a lifelong animal lover with 7 years of hands-on experience caring for my own dog. I handle everything from daily feedings and long energetic walks to the less glamorous parts of pet ownership like cleaning up and maintaining a routine. I’m naturally patient, very active, and I treat every dog I meet as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs a high-energy game of fetch or a calm stroll around the block, I'm happy to provide the attention and care they deserve! As someone that works remotely I am able to provide high level care at all hours! I currently work remotely and am able to take breaks to allow for bathroom relief and play time! I am happy to go on a stroll around the neighborhood or enjoy the dog park playing fetch. I live in a beautiful two bedroom apartment with plenty of room to snuggle in one of the queen beds! I am excited to be expanding into a bigger home soon come the end of summer.

“Abby was great! Easy to communicate with and took great care of our cats!”

Its important to me to fall the same safety measures that you do when your not home.

“Ellie was great, she arrived on time, sent us frequent updates throughout the day. She was very courteous and our goldendoodle felt very comfortable with her.”

“Gabby was incredible! Our older dog and our skittish dog were both so happy with her. The cat didn’t even scold us when we returned like he usually does. We received regular updates and photos throughout the week and when we got home, the house was neat and tidy. We will absolutely ask Gabby back to housesit and watch our “outlaws” again. We can’t possibly recommend her enough!!”

About: I currently have 2 cats of my own that I take care of, and I also have experience with cat-sitting, dog-sitting, dog-walking, and more 🐱🐶❤️ I’m working part-time as a pet sitter right now and I can watch your pets on any day of the week (including weekends) from 3:30pm to midnight, but I am willing to make exceptions if I receive any inquiries for pet-sitting outside of my normal hours :) I mainly care for pets at the homes of my clients, but cats are welcome in my home if they don’t mind the company of my 2 cats :) 1 cat per day, and you have to bring your cat in some type of cage/crate. They will be staying upstairs where my room, litter box, and food/water bowls are located.

About: I’ve had and loved animals my entire life. As an adult I’ve had 2 German shepherd’s and have done positive reinforcement training with both of them. My daughter also had a rescue dog that was very special to our family. Currently I have 3!! dogs and a cat. I love all furry friends! My availability to provide pet care varies. I’m currently working full time as a nurse/clinic leader but I have the flexibility to work from home on occasion. I’ll do my best to accommodate needs. I can provide and respect any safety recommendations as requested. I want you and your pet to feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away.

“Samantha was amazing with our dog and she was comfortable right away during the meet and greet. While we were gone Samantha sent regular updates and photos. We were very comfortable that Momo was in good hands!”

I am available pretty much everyday to play with your pups. I am open weekdays and weekends if needed. I do in home and at my home sitting.

I currently work 3 days per week, so my schedule is open and free the other 4 days! Reach out with any questions about availability. I have a fenced in large backyard and one playful dog of my own to keep your dog company. Safety and comfort are always important to me!

About: Hi there! I’m Kelsey — a Certified Veterinary Technician, full-time animal lover, and proud cat mom of six. My husband Rick and I live in Cokato, Minnesota, where our home is happily ruled by a crew of whiskers, purrs, and wildly different personalities. We share our lives with six cats, each with their own quirks and needs — from the confidently social to the quietly anxious, from the senior who needs meds to the youngster with endless curiosity. Living with such a diverse feline family has shaped the way I approach every pet I meet: with patience, kindness, flexibility, and a genuine desire to understand who they are as individuals. As a Certified Veterinary Technician, I bring several years of hands-on clinical experience with dogs, cats, and pets who need extra medical support. I’m very comfortable giving medications, supporting chronic illness care, monitoring behavior changes, and handling pets who may be shy, nervous, or slow to trust. Special-needs pets hold a big piece of my heart — I know how important experienced, gentle care can be. I’m also building my confidence with exotics and pocket pets, and I’m always excited to learn about new species, routines, and little personalities. If your pet scurries, hops, slithers, or squeaks, I’m happy to meet them! Because of my own busy furry household, I’m not able to accommodate pets in my home — but I am more than happy to stay in your home, where your pets feel safest and most comfortable. Keeping their routine familiar helps them relax, and it lets me give them the kind of attentive, stress-free care they deserve. And you don’t need to be heading out of town to reach out! I’m available for daily walks, drop-ins, and companionship visits anytime your pet needs a little extra attention, exercise, or love throughout the week. Whether it’s a lunchtime walk, a play session to burn off energy, or a comfort check for an anxious pet, I’m here to help their day run smoothly. When I’m with your pet, they get the full package: – Warm, compassionate care from someone who treats them like family – Professional experience that gives you peace of mind – Lots of updates, photos, and notes so you always know how they’re doing – Playtime, snuggles, enrichment, and patience, tailored to their personality My goal is simple: to make your time away easier — and your pet’s time with me joyful, safe, and comfortable. If you’re looking for a sitter who truly understands animals inside and out — medically, emotionally, and behaviorally — I’d love to meet you and your furry (or feathery or scaly!) crew. 🐾💛 I currently work part-time at a veterinary clinic, usually around two days a week. The exact days vary from week to week, and I typically receive my schedule the week prior. Because of this, my availability can shift — but I’m always happy to coordinate and work with you to find the best times for visits or extended care. The rest of my week is dedicated to pet sitting, which gives me plenty of flexibility for daily check-ins, longer stays, and multi-visit days. Whether you have a friendly dog, a cozy-at-heart cat, or a unique companion with feathers, scales, or tiny paws, I provide care right in your home where your pet feels safest. Familiar surroundings help reduce stress, and my goal is to keep their routine steady and their world feeling normal — whether I’m popping in for a quick visit or staying through a longer trip. For short pop-ins, I focus on exactly what your pet needs in that moment: walks, meals, medications, litter scooping, enrichment, or just some comforting company to break up their day. For extended stays, I follow their routine closely — feeding, exercise, playtime, quiet time, and any medical care they require. I adjust my approach to each individual personality, from confident and social to shy, nervous, or slow to warm up. No matter the species or temperament, your pet will always receive gentle, attentive care and plenty of updates so you feel connected while you’re away.

About: I have fostered over 16 dogs over the past 6 years. I’ve fostered just about every type of dog from a beagle used for breeding only, a neglected pit bull, big 100lb+ mastiff, welped a litter of Shepard/husky puppies and raised them until 4 months old, and eventually adopted a lab husky mix of my own who later developed epilepsy. I’m comfortable with giving animals medications and handle emergent situations with ease (I work in a hospital for my day job). I’m always ready to help love these doggos as my own 🐾💚 I work full time M-F but willing to watch your fur baby anytime so long as you are comfortable with them being alone for set periods of time. I have cameras to check in on your pet activates with motion :) I have a partially fenced yard and two separate run lines that your baby can enjoy I also take my dog on 2 15 min walks a day am and pm that your pup can partake in if desired as well. Plenty of toys and bones to chew on and the friendliest lab husky mix named Jennings to play with :)

About: Love all doggies every shape and size! Grew up with two beautiful west highland terriers who were the best birthday gift in the world for 10 year old me. Been dog sitting/ house sitting for my family and friends for quite some time now and thought I should start doing it more so here I am! I work a few jobs (some part time other seasonal work) super grateful that my jobs are extremely flexible and so fitting in dog care and dog sitting is easy and attainable. I’m very attentive when it comes to understanding and learning owners routines and schedules they have for their furry friends. Feeding times, what the dog likes and dislikes, how many times they need to be let outside etc. I’m always alert and aware if anything goes astray.

About: I have raised 4 of my own dogs from puppies. I have dog sat for many of my friends and family. I rescued a sick dog off the streets and nursed him back to life and we had him a good 10 years. I work a full time job Monday thru Friday 6am to 2:30pm. I would be available weekdays after 3:30pm and would be willing to do some weekend. Currently I have no pets at home. I share custody of my dog Sophie. A year ago I lost my Cooper who had a heart murmur. I love walking and loved taking them on walks with me.

“Kayla was incredible while house sitting for us. She was so kind and loving to our dog and cat and we came back to a pristine house. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with two Persian cats, a yellow lab, and two Yorkies, which gave me hands on experience caring for both small and large breeds. I currently have two cats of my own, Stormy and Toasty, so I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. In addition to my personal experience, I’ve completed formal training through Dog Handler Academy, where I learned safe handling techniques, canine behavior fundamentals, and structured care practices. I’m comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and maintaining consistent routines for pets of all ages. Over the years, I’ve cared for family and friends’ pets, including feeding, daily walks, training, enrichment play, and overnight stays. I’m calm, patient, and attentive, and I prioritize clear communication so you always feel confident and at ease while you’re away. I also have 1+ year experience working at dog boarding kennels. I currently work part-time with early morning shifts, which allows me to provide reliable afternoon, evening, and weekend care. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and overnight house sitting, and I prioritize maintaining your pet’s normal routine. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure pets receive consistent attention and timely care. When caring for pets in your home, I stick closely to their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I make sure feeding schedules, litter boxes, walks, and playtime are handled just the way you prefer. I’m very mindful about locking doors, keeping gates secure, and being respectful of your space. I treat your home and your pets with the same care and attention I give my own.
