About: I have 15 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, from quick drop-in visits and playtime to extended stays with overnight pet sitting. I grew up with my parents’ dogs and have always had a love for animals. I spent two weeks in California caring for a Golden Retriever. I have experience with multiple overnight stays, caring for 1–5 pets at a time. I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines, and I make sure they receive plenty of love and care. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to keeping your pets safe, happy, and comfortable while providing updates and peace of mind while you’re away! I work from home so am available to work from anywhere. I love going on walks and can easily make that a part of a routine while caring for your animals. I am able to come over and watch your pets! I am used to various environments while pet-sitting. I am also available for walks and check-ins to make sure your pets feel taken care of.

“Elisa is THE BEST!!! She takes exceptional care of our little guy and also is instrumental is our success training him! Please don’t hire her so she can be all ours ❤️❤️❤️”

About: Have taken care of friends and family’s pets for as long as I can remember. Big animal lover with a big heart and kind spirit. Can’t wait to get to know you and your furry friend! More than happy to take pets out on hikes, walks, brewery hops and movie nights on the couch 🥰. Will give them all the pets and love as if they are my own 💕 I work hybrid in a corporate position going into the office Tuesdays & Thursdays most weeks and working from home Monday, Wednesday & Friday with the weekends off. My apartment is pet friendly with green space all around, near by parks & walking trails and many dog friendly businesses. Would love to explore these with your pup if they are adventurous or have a chill night in for the more relaxed pet 💕 I have my own apartment so will always have complete control of the environment. I keep things very tidy and dog is welcome on the bed and furniture if owner allows. Dog will always be leashed outside of my apartment and treated with the upmost care and love. Will of course get specific consent from the client regarding rules for their specific pooch and am happy to abide by owners request to make them & their animal as comfortable and happy as possible.

About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life and have always been a natural animal lover — animals tend to love me just as much as I love them. I currently have a few cats and live with my best friend, who has a dog of her own that I help care for regularly (she’s basically mine too!). I also have hands-on experience working with dogs from spending a couple of years at a doggy daycare, where I learned how to care for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m currently a server, and with it being the slow season right now, my availability is very flexible and open for most days and times. I love caring for pets in their own homes, where they feel safe and comfortable. I follow all routines, feeding schedules, and special instructions so your pet gets consistent care and plenty of attention. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just snuggles, I make sure your pet feels happy, loved, and well looked-after while you’re away.

“Our dogs loved Sophia and she gave them lots of fun attention and kept to their schedules. She also communicated with us very well. We were confident our pups were in good hands”

About: I have been taking care of dogs of every kind ever since I was 11 years old. I love training puppies and taking care of senior dogs as well! I currently am working part time so all of my extra time I have I put that towards give amazing care to animals. Anything to make their day just amazing as mine! I live on a lot of land so it’s perfect for them to run around. I also have 2 fur babies of my own that would love to keep your pets company!

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’ve had pets my entire life, from dogs and cats to turtles and horses! Being around animals makes me very happy and this is a way that I love to destress!

About: I love animals! I’ve been taking care of animals ever since I was young having grown up with both a dog and a cat. I love the responsibility of providing animals with their needs and love. I often take care of neighbors and friends pets when they are unable too and they know they can always rely on me to provide exceptional care for their animals. I’m easy going and reliable and I hope I can help take care of your furry friends. I currently work at UMMC but have a pretty flexible schedule. I’m willing to work around my clients schedule to better fit their needs. I currently live in an apartment with my two cats so I am unable to care for pets in my home. I am willing to travel and stay at clients homes and provide care based on specific needs.

About: I am the biggest animal lover ever! I’ve had a dog for the last 10 years, but have had a love for dogs and cats since I was little.

I am the perfect person for this job because I am a very caring and trusting person. I am so excited to be working with animals because they have been my love since I was a child. I am the ultimate animal lover and I would love to work with you and your pet(s) now and in the future.
