About: Introduction Hi! My name is Lori and I LOVE ALL ANIMALS! I am recently retired and I always said that when I had time, I'd spend my days helping animals, however possible. I am so excited to finally be in a place where I can make that happen! If you would help me help me get my new focus start, I would be forever grateful and I will treat your pet like family! I’m an experienced pet caregiver with over 40 years of hands-on time caring for dogs, cats, and small animals, and a genuine passion for ensuring pets feel happy and at home while their families are away. I have a special spot in my heart for senior dogs and cats but I also love puppies and kittens, and everything in between! I've cared for my own dogs, cats, mice, hamsters, gerbils, and birds for over 40 years, so I understand the daily routines, quirks, and needs of all kinds of companions. I'm especially attuned to dogs and cats—I read their body language exceptionally well and know what they're "saying. "For example, a slow blink from a cat is their way of saying "I love you," while a soft "mee mee" often means "come here." With dogs, I always approach respectfully: letting them sniff my open palm first (never reaching over their head, as it can feel dominant), then gently petting the shoulder and down the side. Energy matters so much—staying calm, happy, and positive helps even anxious pets relax quickly. I have a whole "warehouse" of these insights from years of close observation, and I love using them to build trust and joy. I'm reliable, patient, and genuinely excited to care for your pets as if they were my own. I'll play with them, give plenty of love and cuddles, follow your instructions to a T, and make sure they feel at home. Being away from your furry family is tough—I get it, and I'll do my best to keep things feeling normal and happy for them (and send you lots of updates and pictures so you can see for yourself!). I can provide most of the same loving care as other sitters—feedings, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, toy fun, and house check-ins—but due to some mobility limits, I focus on shorter, gentle walks (up to about 15 minutes) or indoor/outdoor potty time and enrichment instead of longer neighborhood strolls. This works wonderfully for calmer dogs, seniors, smaller breeds, or cats who prefer cozy companionship. I'm happy to adapt to your pet's energy level and needs! I can't wait to meet you and your beloved pets! What I'll need from you Age, personality/behavior, feeding routine and amounts, typical daily schedule, house rules, any favorite toys/treats, if they can have people food, medical needs, and anything else that helps me care for them just the way you do. No strong breed preferences—I'm happy with all! Let's Get Started! Availability I'm generally flexible and can arrange visits to fit your pet's schedule—morning, midday, evening, and bedtime routines. I can do drop-in visits, overnight sitting (if selected), or daily check-ins to ensure they're fed, pottied, loved, and happy throughout the day. A typical day We'll start with feeding, fresh water, and a gentle potty break or short walk if your pet enjoys it. Then lots of playtime with toys, gentle petting and interaction based on their cues, maybe some training games or just relaxing together. I'll refill water as needed, clean up any messes, and give plenty of love and attention. Everything will be done with your preferences in mind, plus updates and photos for you!

“Ciboney was great with Kylo! She was easy to schedule with and was always on time to check on him. I would highly recommend and will used her again in the future when we go out of town. Thanks again for helping us!”

“Jada has watched Gixxer over the years and is great. Gixxer is a smaller dog who has a quirky personality and gets frightened very easily, but he always feels comfortable and gets so excited when Jada comes which is why we contuine to use her. She is very attentive, communicated throughly, sends a lot of photo updates which we love. She’s also extremely thoughtful… each visit she brings a small treat for Gixxer. She’s easily become one of his favorite humans. I’d recommend her!”

About: I have taken care of many animals, including my own 100 pound German Shepard, 200 Pound Saint Bernard, and many cats. I currently work with dogs as well for my day job! Hello, on any weekday I am available anytime from 3:00pm-9:00pm. Weekends I am available anytime from 10:00 am- 5:00pm I am not available on holidays. I make sure your pet is comfortable with me so I usually bring treats to make your dog like me more. I work with dogs on a daily basis and am very comfortable with all breeds.

“Lucia did great taking care of our needy cats! We have three cats with varying temperaments to juggle and with medications as well. We knew they were in good hands with 2x/day visits and photos for each one. Would recommend!”

Martha W.

“Gaolah was wonderful. She did a meet and greet without hesitation. I have a 15 year old dog that can’t stay in her crate for extended time so Faolah came two different times and let her out to potty stretch her legs get a drink and some food. She communicated well, did as I asked, good with Crickett. I will cerise her again!”

Linda W.

“Macy was awesome. My usually shy cats warmed up to her and she sent pictures every day. Their food and water were full when I got home. She even brought my mail and an Amazon package in for me. Would definitely hire again. Thanks, Macy!!”

About: I worked on a few farms growing up and don’t remember a time where I didn’t have a few pets! Love any and all animals I go to school only twice a week so fitting care into my schedule is very easy! I will always make time for animals and their care Of course I will offer playtime and cuddles if they want that! Also will make sure they get their steps in if needed and all the energy out!

“Kennedee truly goes above and beyond in terms of her communication, positive attitude and attention to detail! So grateful for her help.”

About: I’ve loved animals ever since I can remember! When I was about 10 years old I finally convinced my parents to get a dog. Since then my love for animals has only continued to grow. I am currently hoping to spend more time with some lovely animals! I’m always on the go and spend as much time outside as possible! I’d love to fit your pet into my schedule and get out for get some fresh air and a nice walk! I have a fenced in yard with no other pets in a quiet neighborhood. Dogs are allowed inside as there is plenty of room for play!

About: Hi! My names Priscilla and I’m looking for some extra cash while doing something I love. I’ve been walking dogs for a bit and otherwise have spent my entire life around all types of creatures from fish to guinea pigs to horses! My dear childhood cat, Swiper, passed January 2025 after having him for 14ish years (since I was three!) He was an orange cat (if you know you know 😅) and we had many other cats when I was growing up. We’ve had my dog for eight years, since he was a puppy! Chubbs is a very energetic, quirky Dudley Lab who has given me TONS of walking experience. From both him and other dogs, I have much experience with large, high-energy pullers with many triggers and quirks. My number one priority is making your furry friend feel safe, cared for, and loved, and I can easily adapt to any pets needs—I’ve been around animals with all types of triggers and quirks, from puppies and kittens to seniors. I truly hold so much love for animals and whether it’s giving your dog a good walk, checking on your babies or keeping them company while you’re away I’d be honored to care for your furry friend! 💗 I just finished high school a few months ago and am taking a gap year while I figure out what I want to do, and I’m currently not working so my availability is wide open! I’m pretty much always available and looking for last minute walks or drop in’s. Shoot me a message and I’m sure we can work something out! Safety is my number one priority, for both me and your furry friend! Please let me know if your fur baby has any special needs, triggers, quirks, allergies, or dietary needs. I can easily accommodate to different pets needs and circumstances to make the entire experience (whether walks/sitting) safer and easier for them!

“Andrea was phenomenal! It is evident that caring for pets is her area of expertise. I was apprehensive about hiring someone to watch our cat but Andrea put us at ease and allowed us to enjoy our vacation without worrying. We received daily updates of texts and pictures which we looked forward to seeing at the end of the day. I look forward to having Andrea take care of our cat in the future and would highly recommend her to others.”

“Thanks so much to Jeff for checking in on our cats! Everything went smoothly, communication was great, cats were taken care of and happy. We appreciated the daily update notes and pictures. I’d definitely recommend Jeff for animal check in visits.”

About: We have had pets in our home all of our lives. We currently have two cats and an energetic puppy. We have cared for friends' pets for many years, and now have many years of experience in pet care as a business. We are a busy family, but someone in the household is almost always home throughout the day. We have a good routine of pet care already with our current pets. Our kids and our pets are great with other animals. We have a fenced back yard for animals to run. We live near a park where we take daily walks. We regularly dog sit for friends in our home. We have also gone to the homes of others and taken care of pets there, as well as taken dogs on walks regularly. We are a big family so someone is almost always home during the day. We are in the habit of routine time outside as well as daily walks to the park. We are an active household and love to love on the pets that are in our care. Pets will be given lots of love and attention, but also the space for rest and alone time if they prefer.

About: I have experience with several long-term dog-sitting jobs, caring for dogs for multiple days and extended periods of time. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, including different shedding levels, daily walks, playtime, feeding, and keeping up with their routines. I’m a genuine animal lover and love making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet like family and want you to feel confident knowing your furry friend is in good hands! If this is specifically for an over-night pup I would ask if it is possible to be accompanied by a friend that can also meet prior as it would make me more comfortable. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule! I only have one class a day during the week and work part-time on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays from 4–8 PM. My weekends are completely open, and I have plenty of availability to give your pets the time, attention, and care they deserve. I’m happy to work with your schedule and make sure your pets feel loved and comfortable while you’re away! I’m happy to follow whatever routine works best for your pet! Whether that means walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medication if needed, or just extra cuddles and company, I’m willing to help. I’m great at sticking to routines and understand how important consistency is for pets to feel comfortable and safe. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible while making sure they feel loved and cared for.

About: I grew up with a lot of pets. Dogs, cats, fish, birds, and for the last 3 years I've been doing pet care along with child care for a well respected small company in Northern MN. I love working with animals and I'm very good at taking care of them, whether that's short term, long term, or just for a day. I'm currently not working outside of pet sitting, and I try to be very active so daily walks are a must have along with trips to the park and indoor play time. I keep a consistent sleep schedule so I can easily cater to the schedule of your animals. I live in a townhouse community near a lake with a walking trail and a large open field perfect for longer walks with the pups! When I'm in a clients home, I will communicate with you first to learn if you have a schedule for the pets you'd like me to follow. Then I will make sure their needs are met and have plenty of play time in and outside so they get their exercise in between naps and cuddles.

“Thank you so much Ned for your service in taking care of LucyLulu and London on Election day so I could be an Election Judge for 15 hours and not have to worry about the dogs with you coming three times. I appreciate your report stating they were both good. Take care and thanks again. Tip processed.”

“Ari is great with my pup, who can be a bit of a handful. I appreciate her being reliable and great with communication. We’re lucky to have her as a regular sitter.”

Heather Z.

“Ashley saved the day! At the last minute, our work schedules changed, and we needed someone to come by and let our puppy Daisy out and spend some time with her. She showed up on time and was respectful of Daisy's routine. She always provided updates after each visit. We were so relieved it worked out, and we were able to find someone to step in while my husband and I were at work. I cannot recommend Ashley enough! We will definitely have her in the future!”
