“Autumn did a wonderful job taking care of my kitty Ross while I was away. She followed my instructions perfectly and sent me updates. I came home to a very happy kitty! I highly recommend Autumn to all pet owners who are looking for a fantastic and reliable sitter! Thank you Autumn!”

About: We have had pets our whole lives, and we have cared for our own pets for the past 20+ years. We've had all creatures great (St. Bernard) and small (hamsters). We currently have 2 dogs, a cat, and 4 chickens. We have spent the past 5 years fostering pups through a local rescue and loved every minute of it. We have aided in puppy training to senior care through both personal pets and fostering. Amy also works at a vet clinic with regular interaction with all sorts of animals. Outside of all the experience, we love animals. We love playing, snuggling, training and treating all animals as if they are our own. Our 3 children have also inherited a love of animals and love to interact with any pet that comes through our home. ❤️ Both adults in the home work. Our hours do allow for someone to be in the home multiple times throughout the day with our resident pets are only being left alone for no more than 3 hours a day. Potty breaks and cuddles in the morning and then walks, and lots of cuddles in the afternoon and evening. Our resident and foster pups have a basic schedule of eating and morning, afternoon and evening potty breaks in our backyard. Dogs that are trained well on a leash, or new puppies that need training, will get 2-3 walks a day. We have cozy places for naps and all pets are allowed on furniture. Depending on the pet we are happy to let them free roam or crate, whatever the preference is of owner for times we are not home. Between the adults and kids, and pet in the home, your pet will get lots of cuddles and playing, treats and mind stimulation.

“From the minute I met Sydney I knew she was going to be a trust worthy gal to take care of my granny cat. Sydney has been so kind,punctual , sent pictures, videos and updates every visit, even spend some extra off the clock time to pet my cat finish her nap on Sydney’s lap. I would recommend Sydney to anyone looking for a a sitter for their pet .”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, and they have always been a big part of my family. I currently have a sweet Yorkie Poo and a gentle Newfoundland, and I truly believe every dog has their own personality, needs, and little quirks that make them special. I have over 5 years of professional dog grooming experience, which has taught me so much about dog behavior, body language, handling, and how to make dogs feel comfortable and safe. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors in all sizes. I also have experience with dogs who need extra patience and care, including dogs recovering from procedures and blind dogs. Besides walks, daycare, and boarding, I can also offer basic maintenance care, such as brushing, baths, nail trimming and grinding, ear cleaning, and teeth brushing, feet - paw and face trimming. I love going on long walks (usually two one-hour walks a day with my own dogs), and I’d love to give your pup the same attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. My goal is for your dog to feel comfortable, loved, and cared for like they’re part of the family. Our day includes two long walks, usually around 8:30 AM and 5 PM to avoid peak heat. We enjoy walks, park visits, playtime, cuddles and enrichment activities throughout the day. I provide a safe, calm home environment with supervision throughout the day. I’m home most of the time, offer structured walks and playtime, and have crates available if dogs need quiet time or separation. While I don’t have a fenced yard, dogs receive plenty of outdoor exercise through secure walks and nearby park visits. I also have experience handling different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities.

“Ashlynn went above and beyond during her drop ins! We really appreciated her and the time she spent with our dogs!”

“Grace took on way more than expected. She kept not only our resident animals alive, but also a handful of unexpected foster kittens and my plants! Thank you Grace!”

“Sarah was wonderful stopping in each day to feed and play with my cat while I was out of town! I was gone for a week and he’s usually very needy when I get home, but she took such good care of him that he seemed to barely miss me! I will definitely be using Sarah to watch my cat again.”

About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats growing up. I always take care of other animals like i treat my own, if not better. Monday and Tuesday I work 12-4 so I can watch your furry friends before or after. My schedule varies but I'm really flexible. I take care of 3 cats and help out with 3 dogs. I help with other people's animals whenever I can. I have 3 cats. I have toys that my cats can play with and an open area for them to run around. I love dogs, I had a family pit growing up and I loved her. I would throw a stick or ball for her to get, we had fun.

“Molly took great care with our two dogs and gave us detailed reports after each visit. I can tell she loves and respects dogs. We'll use her again!!”

About: I am a patient and attentive sitter, and will do my absolute best to meet all of your pets' needs while they are in my care. I will treat your furry friends as well as I would treat my own. I love to go on walks and play, and of course I love to snuggle as well! I am currently working part time, and will have plenty of time to feed, walk, and care for your pets! I hope to make them feel as at home as they usually do. I will have fluctuating flexibility, as I am also a part time Certified Nursing Assistant. I will keep my undivided attention on your pets if/when I take the outside. I will make sure to keep a harness/leash on at all times while outside, unless in a fenced in area like the backyard or a dog park. I will keep them reined in close to me while on walks to avoid ay possible altercations with other dogs. I will keep unsafe foods (grapes, chocolate, garlic, etc.) away from the pets.

About: I have had dogs in my family my whole life. I have cared for my family dog throughout its senior years. I now have a toy poodle of my own who I cared for during her recovery from a broken leg. She is now a happy and healthy pup who loves to run and play, so high energy dogs are no stranger to me. I am always drawn to dogs everywhere I go but it seems dogs tend to be drawn to me as well always wanting to say hello! I work full time from home with occasional in-office days in downtown Minneapolis. In-office days are sporadic so I may be unavailable some days. Otherwise, I can work from anywhere so I am very flexible. Pet’s safety and comfort is always my number one priority. I am cautious and aware when opening doors that pets could slip out of. When out in public I am always aware of other animals nearby as you cannot always guarantee every pet owner is responsible to keep their pet leashed. I am aware of foods that are toxic to pets and refrain from feeding pets “people” food. Additionally I keep all plants and other toxic items out of reach of pets.

“I just love April and how she takes care of my cat! I’m so glad I found her. She has cats also so she always tries different fun things with my cat. I like that. And if I didn’t want April all to myself I would tell everyone to hire her for their pets…! She is great!”

About: With 12 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, I bring a lifetime of love, patience, and understanding to every furry friend I meet. Growing up in a pet-loving family, I had the joy of bonding with cats and dogs alike, and now I have a sweet pup of my own who continues to teach me every day. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to wise seniors—and have some training experience that helps me connect with each pet’s unique needs and personality. To me, animals are the most precious beings, and they deserve more than just basic care—they deserve to be loved, respected, and pampered. I will always go out of my way to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and at home, as if they were my own! Even though my job comes with an unusual and ever-changing schedule, pet care is always a top priority in my life. I make it a point to plan around the pets I care for—ensuring they get all the love, attention, and consistency they need. Whether it’s making time for a walk, a cuddle session, or just being there when they need company, I’m fully committed to giving every pet in my care the same love and attention I give my own. Flexibility is part of my lifestyle, and it allows me to show up for your pets when you need me most! I care for my own dog with daily walks, lots of playtime, and all the cuddles he could ever want—he’s truly part of the family! That same level of love and attention is what I bring to every pet I care for. And while my dog is friendly and well-socialized, I completely understand that every pet has different comfort levels. If your pet needs space or a more private experience, I can easily keep them separated to ensure they feel safe, relaxed, and right at home!

“Catarina is our go-to with our pup Kaya - she is always so easy to work with, communicates well and Kaya loves her! Highly recommend & we will continue to use Catarina for all of Kaya's sitting needs.”
