Dog Sitting Loretto

About: I grew up with dogs and visit my family dog as often as I can but don't have one of my own yet. I volunteer for a Minnesota based dog rescue most weekend so I have seen and dealt with every breed and personality a dog can have . Since working at this rescue I am comfortable with even they most shy submissive dogs that have a tough time with strangers. I have a passion for animals, dogs especially, and love going on long walks or just playing catch by the lake. I am very active and would love to hangout with your furry friends ! I also have a special place in my human heart for senior and special needs dogs as well ! I work primarily from home full time and own my own home. I have a 1 year old red heeler mix named Goose that loves all people and dogs and is overall a happy camper that loves having a buddy to hang with for daycare or for boarding visits! My husband and I got goose when he was just 10 weeks old so we have recently done very young puppy phase so we have all the tools needed for the sharp teething phase and baby gates to limit access as needed! I have had dogs my entire life and have had 30+ foster dogs as an adult. I have volunteered with rescues included out reach clinics, fostering, marketing etc. I love having a dog in my home and getting out for walks or to play fetch.

About: I’m an animal lover, and being away from my sister’s pup, I love to take care of animals whenever I can! I have taken care of a wide range of dogs including those needing oral medication, caring for dogs who are older, blind, and deaf. I have also dogsat for dogs on the other side of the spectrum that need multiple walks a day and are full of energy! I’m currently a full time student at CSU, so I would ideally love to hang with your pups on the weekends! I can also be available during the week, but I will be bouncing between class and ensuring your dog gets all the care they need. I grew up with a dog in the house who was a rescue pup and crate-trained! I prefer to be home as much as I can with clients’ dogs and taking them on runs or walks. I’m also totally down to relax with your pup (especially the older ones), really whatever they need!

“Great communication and care for Coco”

“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 .”

“Elisa took amazing care of our cat while we were away! It’s never easy to leave your fur baby, but she gave us peace of mind with updates and pictures during each visit. Thank you Elisa!!!”

About: I love all kinds of dogs! My childhood wish finally came true when I was in high school and my parents decided to get a family dog when I was the only kid left in the house so a lot of responsibility fell on me. My family dog, Willie, is now 5 and I have been the primary care giver while pursing my academics. I understand the different needs for various types/ages of dogs such as length of walk, amount of food/treats, type of toys, attachment, etc. I'm a recent college graduate and just moved back to the Plymouth area where I'm originally from. My full time job is hybrid so I have the flexibility to work from home on Mondays and Fridays. I'm available after work hours on weekdays (roughly 5pm give or take) and also have availability anytime on the weekends. I also have a car so it is easy for me to drive around the Plymouth area. I care for pets in my own home by making sure the house is "dog proof" and ensuring there aren't any objects out that could harm the animal. I also care for pets in clients homes by respecting their space and making sure the home is neat after caring for their pet.

About: With over 4 years of dog sitting experience for multiple families, and nearly 2 years in pet hospitality, I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and varying health conditions! I have experience in safely administering medications to numerous dogs including oral medications as well as eye and ear treatments. I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate a variety of needs! I am available throughout the week, including weekends, and can provide consistent supervision, exercise, feeding, and administer medication if required. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I believe pets are happiest in their familiar environment, so I work hard to maintain their normal schedule while you're away. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding, exercise, medication administration (such as oral medications, eye drops, and ear drops), and any special needs. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own, providing attentive care, and plenty of affection to ensure both you and your pet feel comfortable and confident while you're apart.

About: I have had pets my whole life and cared for my own for the past 20 years. I've had all creatures small (hamster) to large (St. Bernard). I currently have 2 dogs, a hamster, and 4 chickens. My family and I have also fostered pups through a local rescue for the past 5 years. We have aided in puppy training to senior care through both personal pets and fostering. I also work at a vet clinic with regular interaction with all sorts of animals. Outside of all the experience, I love animals. I love playing, snuggling, training and treating all animals as if they are my own. I have 3 children who have also inherited my love of animals and love to interact with any pet that comes through our home. ❤️ Both adults in the home work. My hours are part time allowing more availability to spend with your pet. Our resident dogs have free roam of the house for up to 6 hrs unattended, but can be crated if need be. There is typically someone home until 10am each day and home by 3. Potty breaks and cuddles in the morning and then walks, and lots of cuddles in the afternoon and evening. 1 weekday and weekends there is someone home all day to give all the attention. 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 in the home, your pet will get lots of cuddles and playing, treats and mind stimulation.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have had multiple dogs to take care of over the last 10 years. Along with the daily tasks of my own animals, I would sometimes watch those of friends and neighbors as well. I have also recently assisted in boarding and walking services through Rover and in my free time like to volunteer walking dogs at local shelters. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages. As a current college student away from my animals, I would love to help someone else out where needed to care for their companion! I currently have a flexible schedule that would allow me the perfect opportunity to care for pets! Any and all instructions given will be taken seriously and followed intently. Safety and health is of the utmost importance when it comes to caring for animals and I understand it is my role to do such.

“Thank you, Chasity, for being available on short notice to take care of our 3 kitties! Great to see them come out to greet you instead of hiding, so happy to see that! Great job, Thank you!”

About: Hello! My name is Tyler and I've been around animals my entire life. I am very comfortable with dogs and cats, including in my home, as we have a four-year old Frenchie, Odie, and two-year-old Boston Terrier, Marzipan. I am a work-from-home sports journalist who can leave the house, often at specific times, to meet your needs. I also have the flexibility to potentially stay at your home or be there during the day to interact with your animal, as I can work remotely as long as I have internet. I have been helping watch my friends' animals over the last 10-15 years, giving me plenty of experience to help with your animal and give them all the pets they want while I'm there! I am comfortable with doing things like giving medication, putting in a crate, take on walks, etc. Please feel free ot reach out if you have any questions! I am a work from home sports journalist with a very flexible schedule. I do have multiple YouTube shows I do each week where I would need to be in my office, but those are around 11 and 6 on both Mondays and Thursdays. I can do most of my work remotely, so I can sit for you by either hanging out during the day or possibly staying the night. I will treat your dogs like I do my own: with care, compassion, and a lot of love. I am a kind hearted soul myself, and often connect very well with dogs. Whether you need them to be walked, on strict rest, get lots of playtime, etc, I will gladly do that for your pup like I do for my own at home.

About: I have had experience dog sitting since I was 10 years old. I grew up taking care of dogs in my neighborhood and my family, and I have experience sitting for dogs big and small! I am currently working a part time job and will have afternoons available to play with your pups! I also am available on weekends the full day to assist as needed. I know every pet is different, so I'll take the time to learn their routine and make sure they feel comfortable while you're away. I'll follow all of your instructions carefully, keep your home clean and secure, and give your pet lots of attention, playtime, and affection. I'll also send updates and photos so you always know how they're doing.

About: I believe every dog deserves a cozy, happy place where they feel loved and cared for. I’m attentive, responsible, and focused on making sure your pup has a calm, fun, and comfortable stay. From cuddles to walks to sticking closely to your dog’s routine, I’ll make sure they’re treated like one of my own. ♥️ I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and am available for dog walking between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. I also provide overnight care for partial or full week stays, depending on your needs. If helpful, I can also come by to pick up your pup from your home. My home includes two young boys, ages 8 and 6, who love dogs and are very comfortable around them, so your fur baby will be welcomed into a warm, family-friendly environment. 🐶 My yard is not fenced, but your dog’s safety will always be my top priority. When we’re in the backyard, I will keep your dog securely on leash and never let them out of my sight, so you can feel confident they are always supervised and cared for. My house is always pup friendly. Whether your bestie needs a bed of their own or prefers to cuddle with hoomans, I want to give them the best experience away from home possible 🐾

About: Hello my name is Jocelyn and I’m 21 years old currently! I’ve had my own dog since I was 7 and she grew up with me during childhood when she was also a puppy. I have experience with large pullers, and dogs who like to chase small animals, or are pretty reactive at other dogs or animals. I’m able to administer medicine by food/mouth, injection, and ointments. I have experience with senior dogs, and puppies! I can do basic training for example: potty training, and obedience training. Whatever your pup needs I can provide!! Depends if I’m taking care of my partners puppy multiple times a week or rarely a week. But he gets fed 3 times a day, make sure he goes potty when needed and does both if possible, and give him playtime outside or indoors as well! I cannot do boarding at the moment unfortunately. But at a clients home I make sure to be patient with the pets since I’d be a new person they’re just meeting. Make sure everything’s clean/organized as much as possibly especially before I leave. Give them as much playtime and company as wanted, and can’t forget about the treats and walks!!

“Carrie was great. She changed out the battery on the garage door opener when it didn't work on her second visit. And she was clearly worried when she couldn't find our super old cat during a couple of her visits. He was fin. We'll be booking her next time we travel.”

About: I have been around dogs my whole life. Growing up, my parents brought home not one, but two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Olive and Winnie. As they’ve gotten older, I’ve gained experience providing the extra care that senior dogs often need. Winnie is diabetic, so I am comfortable administering insulin and monitoring her health. She is also deaf, which has taught me the importance of staying attentive and adapting communication to meet her needs. Olive has only a few teeth left, so I’ve helped adjust her diet by softening her kibble with broth to make mealtimes easier and more comfortable for her. Caring for both dogs has given me firsthand experience with senior dogs, special-needs pets, medication administration, and the patience and attention required to keep them happy, healthy, and comfortable. I am a teacher currently on summer break and working part time at caribou coffee, so I will have plenty of time to devote to pet sitting! I am available every day of the week, and alternating weekends. Whenever I am caring for a pet, I treat them as if they are my own. I have a lot of experience with dogs and dog sitting, as I have two family dogs, and have dogsat in the past

About: I've had my 18+ year old cat since he was a kitten and have been around cats and kittens for most of my life. We also have a 7 year old mini goldendoodle who we've trained and raised since he was a puppy so I'm pretty accustomed to being around animals. I will also send friendly updates with pictures or videos if wanted :) I was recently laid off from my corporate design job so I am free and flexible to help/watch your furry friend(s)! I'm available for walks, checkins, or pet-sitting throughout the week. I am available to come to your house in order to feed, walk, give medications, clean litter boxes, take outside, etc. I'm also available if you need a stay-in caretaker.

About: I’ve grown up taking care of animals, including dogs, cats, and fish. I have experience house sitting, cat sitting, and dog sitting on trusted house sitters. I have experience dog walking. I have all my reviews from other platforms in my photos. My schedule is very flexible for boarding services and check-ins. With upfront and clear communication, I can make almost any request work. UPDATE: I recently moved to Minneapolis and now work 5:30am-12:00pm Tues-Saturday. I can do potty breaks in the morning and a walk once I get home at 12. I can also walk very early in the morning too if the dog is accustomed to that time & willing. And of course, anything after 12 I can do & am available for. I have experience working on trusted house sitters. When doing a house sit or a check-in at the clients home, I simply follow the instructions provided and feed/walk/check in on the animals as discussed. I make sure the animals feel very loved, attended to, and cared for!
