About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life, have one dog and 2 cats of my own now! My babies are my life and i will ensure to take great care of your babies too!! I have experience with administering meds (oral and topical), physical therapy post surgery (my pup had ACL surgery), long walks, and lots cuddles! I will always ensure a safe environment for your fur babies I’m currently not working a 9–5, which means your pet gets my full attention. I have a flexible schedule and can easily work around your needs—whether that’s early morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening cuddle sessions. I’m available weekdays, weekends, and holidays, and I’m happy to accommodate last-minute requests. If your schedule changes unexpectedly (because life happens!), I can usually adjust on my end to make sure your pet’s routine stays consistent and stress-free. Your pet won’t be “fit into” my schedule—they’ll be my schedule. 🐾 Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I’m very comfortable walking dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I make sure every walk is secure—using well-fitted harnesses or leashes, avoiding overly crowded areas, and paying close attention to traffic, weather, and other dogs. I love giving pets the exercise they need—whether that’s a brisk walk, a gentle stroll for seniors, or an energetic game of fetch. Cuddle time and playtime are always included, so your pet feels loved and cared for. I also have a fully fenced yard, perfect for safe, supervised off-leash time if your dog enjoys a good run or game of chase. I’m always outside with them during yard time, making sure they’re happy, healthy, and safe!

“Kristen took wonderful care of my 3 cats while I was away for a long weekend! She updated me and sent photos. One of my cats needed oral medication, which was not a problem for her. I would definitely recommend her to watch over your furry family!”


About: I've taken care of pets for the majority of my life. From caring for my own furry and feathered family members to watching pets for my neighbors and friends and caring for the facility dogs at my job, I have a second heart for animals. Experience with puppies, elders, high energy working dogs, and dogs with trauma. I'm currently studying for my boards exam to be a physical therapist and working part time with a pretty flexible schedule. Last minute requests available! Care instructions for your pet will be followed as closely as possible. I'll care for you pet and your home as I would my own. Your pet's safety and comfort are my first priority.

“Tricia was very kind, professional, and thorough. She asked if she could bring her kids along to help and i was just as pleased with how well mannered and polite they both were with all of my animals! Would definitely recommend her services, she is they type of person you would hope to have watching over your animals while your away!”


About: For as long as I could remember, I grew up having all kinds of pets, from dogs, cats, hamsters and other small furry friends as well as birds. I absolutely love animals and I am super upbeat, nurturing, active and engaging. I have a lot of knowledge and experience with dogs and know a lot of training and handling techniques. I work from home and can give your beloved furry family member the attention and exercise it deserves and will make sure they always feel at ease, happy and comfortable. You’ll also get lots of picture and video updates too :) I work from home most of the time, and have a lot of availability in watching your precious furry family member. I’m a super active person, and love walks and just being engaging with your dog or cat. Also, cool perk. I’m a professional photographer and might snap a beautiful pic of your fur baby :) I have two residences, one being a nice two bedroom apartment that I do most of my work on that has an enclosed balcony as well as a big home with a huge beautiful enclosed yard in Ramsey.

“Amanda was awesome! She went above and beyond to make sure we were both in the loop and our dog Brooklyn was well taken care of. We definitely appreciated her and will be sure to use her in the future!”


About: I worked at a doggy day care for 7 years. Worked on training with my own, friends, and family. I have a dog and 2 cats of my own, and I am self-taught on cat and dog breeds and behavior. Can administer medications (if the pet allows, if the pet is fighting to much I will not stress them too much). Experience with all ages. I have experience with various forms of feisty pets, I will not force them to do anything they don't want to do, but I am willing to work on building a relationship with them and ensure that you have a competent caretaker for your pets. I work part time but my schedule is fairly consistent, with weekends off. My early morning are generally free, as well as my late evenings. Some times may be negotiable. We all have busy lives and I would love to help make sure your pets are loved and cared for. Currently I am unavailable most Tuesdays and between 12pm-6:30pm I unfortunately do not have the ability to keep any other pets in my home. In my clients homes I will follow all rules and instructions to care for your pets. We can go over walk times, play times, enrichment methods, medications. If you're pet has reactivity issues/displays any reactive behavior towards people, I would like to do several meetings to go over any rules and develop a little bit of a relationship first. I do have experience with reactivit, and every pet is different. My goal is for the safety and happiness of everyone involved.

About: For many years, I have rescued senior dogs, giving them a home to comfortably spend their final years. I have years of personal + pet-sitting experience with rodents, lizards, equine, cats, and dogs! I am working super part time, so my availability is very flexible. Shoot me a message, and we can find a personalized schedule that works best for you and your pets’ needs! While I am not offering any pet care services in my home, I am more than delighted to offer my potty-break and walking services in the comfort of yours!
