Pet Sitting Linwood

About: Certified in dog CPR and first aid, with 50 hours of dog handling and management training through Pack Pro. Five years of experience on a hobby farm, handling all morning and evening chores and feedings for a variety of animals, including goats, chickens, ducks, bunnies, dogs, cats, and horses. Trust your furry friends to someone with a proven track record of animal care and safety. I work full-time at a dog boarding facility, typically 35-40 hours per week with a mix of morning (6:15 AM - 11:15 AM) and afternoon/evening (12:45 PM - around 7 PM) shifts. While I do work both shifts twice a week, my schedule still offers plenty of open time. Beyond these commitments, I'm generally available and flexible, making pet sitting a perfect fit for my lifestyle! Safety is my top priority. I follow all of the owner's instructions meticulously regarding feeding, medication, and exercise. I maintain a clean and safe environment, free from hazards. I build trust with pets by being patient, gentle, and attentive to their needs, creating a positive and stress-free experience. I respect the client's home and maintain open communication, providing updates and addressing any concerns promptly.

About: I am a single mom, who enjoys animals just about as much as I love children. My son loves taking dogs for walks and helping me care for them. It teaches him about responsibility, integrity, and so much more.. Plus we get to play with many different animals and who doesn't love that! I enjoy all breeds of dog whether they are large or small as long as they're friendly with children. I am very professional, and respectful of people, their homes and their pets and have never gotten a bad review from any customer that I've ever had. I always go the extra mile to make the customer and the pet feel as comfortable as possible because it's hard to leave a pet, and also hard for a pet when the owner leaves.

About: I have had dogs my whole life, for as long as I can remember we always had 3 dogs. I've been pet sitting on-and-off since I was a teenager and have experience caring for all ages and sizes! I worked for Angel of Hope Animal Shelter for over two years as their marketing specialist (2019-2021), after I left and accepted a different position, I stayed on as a foster parent for awhile before I had to officially resign - I was switched to night-shift at work and was no longer able to continue care at the standard I wanted. I have experience working with tripod (three-legged) dogs and cats, administering oral medications, and treating diabetes/administering insulin to cats. I am passionate about pets and dedicated to their well-being, I offer top-notch dog walking and pet care services that ensure your furry friends are happy, healthy, and loved. I have several years of experience and a genuine love for animals. I'm happy to work with you and come up with a personalized care plan tailored to each of your pet's unique needs. Whether it's a leisurely walk, playtime, or specialized care, your furry family members will feel right at home with me. I am trustworthy, reliable, and committed to excellence. I am here to give your furry family members the care and attention they deserve! I have pretty flexible schedule. 3 days a week I’m in Minneapolis from 8-5, I can switch those days up as well to work around clients, the rest of the week I work from home. Caring for pets in my client's home involves a personalized and attentive approach to ensure each pet feels comfortable and loved. Here's how I do it: 1. Initial Meet & Greet: I always start with a supervised meet & greet. I’ll work with you to understand your pet's routine, preferences, and any special needs or medical requirements. This also helps the pets feel more comfortable with later drop in visits when their pawrents aren’t home. 2. Customized Care Plans: Based on the consultation, I’ll work with you to create a customized care plan tailored to your pet's unique needs, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special care instructions. 3. Comfort and Familiarity: I prioritize making your pet feel safe and comfortable in their home environment by maintaining their usual routine. 4. Daily Walks and Exercise: For dogs, I offer daily walks and playtime to ensure they get the physical activity and mental stimulation they need. 5. Feeding and Hydration: I follow your specified feeding schedule and dietary requirements, ensuring your pets are well-fed and hydrated. 6. Health and Hygiene: I will monitor your pet's health, administer any necessary medications, and maintain their grooming and hygiene needs. 7. Communication and Updates: I’ll keep you informed with regular updates, photos, and videos of your pet, so you can have peace of mind knowing they are in good hands. 8. Emergency Preparedness: I am trained to handle emergencies and have a plan in place for any unexpected situations, ensuring your pet's safety at all times.
 By offering comprehensive, compassionate, and reliable care, I strive to make every pet feel at home and every pet owner feel confident in their choice of care provider.

About: My friends know me as the dog lover! What sets me apart is that I’m very attentive and genuinely care about making each pet feel comfortable and loved. I take the time to learn your pet’s personality, routine, likes, and dislikes rather than treating every visit the same. I’m also big on communication—I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. If I’m not at church or Bible study you can find me at the dog park! 🐶🦮🦴🐾 Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make time for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m active and enjoy getting outside, so I love having a dog to walk and explore with! I treat every pet and home like they’re my own. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine, make sure they get plenty of exercise and attention, and give them lots of love while you’re away. I’m also respectful of your home and will keep you updated with pictures and messages throughout my visit. ❤️🐶

About: I have dog sat many times. I have gone as short as 1 day to a full week. I love all animals and would love to help out! I’m currently at home from college this summer. I have a part time job. I am very flexible and I can pretty much do any times. I will take very good care of you’re home as well as you’re pet. I can put your dog In a crate if needed. I will always be there for them

“Teren came to me as a recommendation from a friend. She has now watched our dogs once and our cat twice. I love knowing that my fur babies are looked after.”

About: I lived with 2 cats for a majority of my life. I have experience watching animals for family and friends, looking to meet new best friends. I am currently working full time and going to school part time to earn my master’s degree. Looking for a fun side job to keep life interesting. I am open to having the animals out in the open or crated when not around. Would love to have a yard to play with animals, but not opposed to going to local parks.

About: My name is Corrie and I love animals, I have 2 cats, 2 dogs and 2 kids. They mean so much to me. I have a passion for caring for animals of all kinds. I love going for walks with my dogs. I have a big yard that's 2.5 acres and we roam around the whole thing. Some of it's long grass so I will check for ticks. I cut or file my own dogs nails as well and can offer that if needed depending how well the dog or cat does. I work full time but work from home some days of the week, Wednesdays and Fridays. We are available in evenings and weekends. Especially in the winter. We have a large yard. Most of the time we let the dogs out on a 50 foot leash for quick potty breaks. Rocky is allowed to roam a little. Otherwise we walk the dogs around the yard or neighborhood. Have a large crate when needed.

“Aida was amazing! Took great care of Cove, updated me and made sure to take good care of our house in the process too! If you love your pup, book Aida :)”

About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and have always loved caring for them! I currently have pets of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to take care of your animals while you’re away. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up after pets, giving medications, and keeping up with their daily routines. I also have experience with younger and senior pets, as well as animals that may need a little extra patience or attention. I’m very responsible, reliable, and attentive, and I always want pets to feel as comfortable as possible while their owners are gone. I know every animal has its own personality and needs, so I’m happy to adjust to whatever routine works best for them. I’m also more than happy to send pictures and updates so you know your pets are doing well! I recently graduated from the university of Minnesota. Therefore I currently have a very open schedule. I am able to both wake up early and stay up late if your animal needs. I can provide a safe environment for pets in clients homes by following the schedule that the client has for their dog. Including when they need to go on walks, let out to go to the bathroom, to be feed, and when they need their medication.

About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover, and caring for dogs has been a big part of my life for years! I’m a proud husky dad to Obi, and I’ve also spent years helping care for my family’s French Bulldogs and Great Danes. So I’ve experienced just about everything, from energetic huskies who always want another walk, to stubborn little Frenchies with big personalities, to Great Danes who think they’re lap dogs! Having experience with such different breeds has taught me that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, and I also welcome opportunities to care for cats. What sets me apart is that I don’t look at pet sitting as simply feeding an animal and letting them outside. I genuinely enjoy spending time with them, playing, going for walks, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I also understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. I’ll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own, and I’m always happy to send pictures and updates so you know they’re doing great while you’re away! I work in the mortgage industry, which gives me some flexibility with my daily schedule. Being a dog dad myself, taking care of animals is already part of my everyday routine! I’m used to making time for walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I enjoy staying active, so having another four-legged friend along for a walk is always a bonus. I’m available for weekday and weekend care depending on my schedule, and I’m happy to work with owners to make sure their pets’ routines are maintained as closely as possible. Whether it’s an overnight stay, a weekend getaway, or a quick check-in, I want to make things as easy as possible for both you and your pet! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to trust the person you’re leaving your pet with. I live in a townhome with my husky, Obi, who is a big part of my life. Before welcoming another dog into my home, I like to arrange a meet-and-greet to make sure everyone is comfortable and gets along. I understand that every pet has different needs, whether that’s extra exercise, a quiet place to relax, a specific feeding schedule, or just some extra attention. I’m careful about following each owner’s instructions, keeping dogs secure during walks and outdoor time, and making sure pets are supervised and comfortable. When caring for pets in their own homes, I respect their space and do my best to keep their normal routine consistent. I’m also happy to provide regular photos and updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are being well cared for!

About: My dogs have always been very high needs growing up, so I have a lot of experience working with different diets, medications, and needs. I'm an athlete, so I can take them out for long periods of time to get exercise as needed, which can be really helpful for hyperactive dogs who have to be cooped up during the day. I'm also entirely capable of caring for senior dogs, I can take things at their pace and make sure they're comfortable and happy. I am currently a full time college student, but I have a lot of open time either between classes or after them. I commute to the Twin Cities from the suburbs, so I can easily travel wherever I am needed to be able to check in on or take care of your furry friends. Being in the cities with my own car I can take dogs out for walks around the lakes or down some of the trails nearby so they (and I) can get some proper exercise before my classes. When caring for pets, I always make sure they are getting plenty of time to move around, especially if I'm just dropping in to check on them, but regardless of the need. I like to keep a checklist of what I need to get done, as well as just having a bit of time to play with or pet them. I can take pets out for walks on foot or with my roller skates, which lets me go longer distances with them. I make sure to clean up any messes I might make, putting everything back as I found it and keeping things nice and tidy for when you get home again. I'm confident staying in new places, and can make sure everything stays safe in your home or space during my time there.

About: I have had dogs and cats all my life. We welcome your fur baby to our Home Away From Home! My family and I will care for and love your fur baby while you are away. Whether it be overnight, drop ins or going for walks, we will care for your pet with love! Your pet will love it here as we have many acres to explore, walk and play fetch with a ball or toy. All of our animals are up to date on shots and other preventions and I would ask that your dog(s) meet this requirement as well so that all animals can stay healthy and happy. Rest assured that your fur baby will be well taken care of while on “vacation”.

About: I’ve been caring for pets my whole life. I started pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors at around age 11 for both cats and dogs, including walking, playing, basic care, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable! I’m currently a senior in high school, so I’m available after school on weekdays. I’m typically free after 3:30 PM. I have open availability on weekends and holidays, which makes me flexible for longer stays and last minute requests. I care for pets in their own home so they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I follow all instructions clearly and carefully while making safety a priority. I’m very respectful of clients’ homes and would also be happy to send updates.

About: I've taking care of dogs most of my adult life. I have worked in a dog salon as a bather/receptionist. I have experience bathing, drying, nail trims on dogs ranging from chihuahuas to newfoundlands. I lived with my sister helping take care of her two dogs, beagle and husky border collie mix. I'm currently working full time school hours, 930am to 4pm. I have more availability of weekends for dog ditting and anytime during the week for cat sitting. I live in an apartment. I have a seperate space to place any animals that do not get along with my resident cats. I love going for walks for potty breaks since I do not have a yard.

“Tina is an amazing pet sitter! She took care of my two cats, who are so sweet but also high maintenance and she did so well! They both had accidents and she cleaned them, plus set up treats and puzzles for them which I appreciated so much. I am most definitely reaching out anytime I need a sitter, thank you Tina!”

About: ✨️🐶 Please read my profile in full (including availability and pricing sections) before reaching out with a service request 🌈🌥🐈‍⬛ I have always loved and cared about the welfare of animals ever since I can remember, and even had several different pets of my own growing up that I cared for, including a couple of dogs (one of which lived to be 17 years old!). I have past experience with volunteering at organisations such as the SPCA (providing care for cats, dogs, and rabbits) and caring for cats at AniMall Cat Clinic. I have helped several close ones and neighbours thoroughout the years with pet care needs for their dogs and cats, which included: feeding, walking, providing transportation to veterinary appointments, bathing, basic grooming, and just spending quality time with the pets. Some of my specialised experience includes caring for pets with mobility issues, breeds that are reactive to other dogs (but still love the company of humans), breeds that are often subject to housing or insurance restrictions (some of which have included: Pit Bulls, German Shepherds, Rottweiler mixes, Belgian Malinois, Huskies, Dobermans, Staffordshire Terriers, Malamutes, and American Bullies), and experience in administering medication to both dogs and cats in oral, injectable, and topical forms. 🐾 Please note I work M-F full time (excluding major holidays), and am unable to provide midday breaks when working due to the nature of my work. For bookings that fall on weekdays, I am not able to reliably accomodate pets that require someone to be home with them throughout the day or need frequent potty breaks. I can best accommodate pets whose daytime care needs would be covered while I'm at work (such as through a doggy door or litter box, neighbour check ins, or if pets need less frequent bathroom breaks) . 🌟I am open to discussing alternatives as well such as taking your pet to doggy day care while I work. However, transportation will incur an extra fee in addition to the booking that varies depending on distance and time requirements. For walks and drop ins in particular, I would be a great choice for pet parents that need care in evenings, nights, and weekends. I focus on understanding each dog's individual temperament, communication style, and needs. I will listen to/observe your pet's body language and demeanour before approaching, and will always interact with them gently and kindly. On walks, I always use a leash or harness to keep the pet safe. Furthermore, I always strive to keep an eye out for any potential hazards to pets while they are in my care and will always act swiftly to remove said hazard so your pet will be out of harm's way. I do believe too that good pet care includes planning for the unexpected, so I like to establish emergency contacts, veterinary/animal hospital information, and contingency plans with every client before a stay (and preferably have these included in written directions too).

About: I am 25 years old. I am flexible in my schedule seven days a week. I know how important our furry friends are, and I offer high quality care so that all animals are happy and feel loved. I enjoy spending time with dogs and going on long walks. I currently have a cattle dog and she is full of energy and loves to play all the time. I hope to spend time with you dogs and make sure they have a great walk, or visit. I am very flexible. I am here to support your dogs and be there for your dogs during the times that you are not able too. I am willing to support the needs of your dog in your home. Whether they have free access throughout the home or spend time in a crate I am comfortable with both. I look forward to ensuring your dogs needs are met within your home and how you run things with your pets.
