Pet Sitting Loring Park

About: I’ve grown up caring for my own dogs and cats, along with pet sitting for friends and family! 🐾 I’ve had my dog since she was a puppy, and I also have a sweet cat who’s just over 2. I’m comfortable with dogs up to 50 lbs, and I’m happy to care for all kinds of personalities—from feisty kitties to shy pups! I truly love all animals and would be so excited to care for yours! 💕 I only work from 3-9 PM each day, so my mornings are completely free! I typically take my dog on a 30-minute walk, and would love to do the same for yours! I care for pets in their own home by keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. 🐾 I’ll follow all feeding, medication, playtime, and care instructions, while giving them plenty of love and attention! I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away. 💕

“Great with Otto. He had a family emergency and wasn't able to complete the drop-ins, but he was communicative about it, which I appreciate greatly.”

About: Iv been with animals for all of my life from fish to hamsters to big dogs. I even graduated from the school of environmental studies. Iv been taking care of our family dogs for years and even helping my grandma s with her own two. In the summer going out to the dog park and long walks to staying inside during the big snowstorms cuddled up. It feels weird not to have an animal by my side Iv delt with both young and elderly animals, giving them medication, care and proper treatment. I was toght to always leave a place in better condition then when you found it

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was young; family and friends have trusted me with their pets. I take pride in ensuring your pets’ consistent routine is not interrupted. I love being active and playful with pets! My experience is with small-medium dogs and I am well-adapted to following each individual dog’s routine. I currently work full time, in office. I am available for morning and evening walks/check ins during the week. I am available full time beginning Friday afternoon into Sunday evening. The time I spend with your pet is fully dedicated to them and their needs. I appreciate every furry friend I come across and always want to make sure they are taken care of as if they’re my own.

“Amber always does a great job with our cat and is always very respectful of our home. Our cat also likes Amber a lot! My husband and I had to reschedule our booking and we were so grateful she was able to squeeze us in to the new dates. Thank you, Amber!”

About: I grew up with a family dog and now am a proud parent of two sweet kitties. I miss being around dogs and would love the chance to care for your fur babies! I work full time from home, generally 8-5. I am occasionally available for lunchtime or midday walks and definitely available for evening and weekend check ins! I have two cats that are shy around other animals so I cannot currently care for other animals in my home. In your home, I am happy to follow care instructions and make sure your pets feel safe, happy and entertained while you’re away!

“Grace has been the best - she handles my reactive doggo wonderfully and the photos I get make my day every time; I truly look forward to getting the daily updates at work. 1 month of dog watching and I’m super grateful for her punctuality and flexibility.”

“Samantha did a fantastic job with our pets! We could tell from the pictures that they were ecstatic to see her. She was very communicative, and went above and beyond.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have been a dedicated dog owner for over 8 years. For the past 3 years, I’ve also fostered pups, giving me experience with a wide range of temperaments and styles. I’m comfortable with everything from high energy personalities to shy or anxious dogs. I’m comfortable with senior dogs (my last pup was 18!), puppies and everything in between. At this time, I’m focusing on small and medium sized dogs so they will be the best match for my own dog and I can provide the best care possible. I work full time from home and am available to board in my house anytime for most lengths of time. Lots of time to play with your pup! Right now, I’m open to hosting small and medium pups—as they are the best matches for my own dog. My dog, Elliot, loves to go for walks (weather permitting) and we’d love for your pup to tag along! If the weather is bad, my yard is perfect for zoomies, ball/toy chasing, neighbor watching and basking in the sun. I have my own small pup who is energetic and loves to play, but isn’t pushy. I work from home so we are together all the time! We walk often—in the morning, at lunch and in evenings. I have a fenced in yard for potty breaks with lots of toys and enrichment. I am home most of the time, but would contain (kennel or pen if needed) when I leave and I’m also open to pups that aren’t kenneled but safe to leave out (I’d put away my own dog).

“Wonderful!! Thank you so much Juliana! You gave our puppies a much needed break and on top of it, you came with such short notice on Thanksgiving Day! You’re awesome!! Mike and Claudia Wondra”

About: I have experience taking care of cats and dogs for family and friends for over 10 years. Growing up my family always had cats and dogs. I currently have 2 cats of my own, Kenobi and Barbie. They are the lights of my life, just like your pets are yours! Just like people, ko two pets are exactly alike. They have their own unique needs and preferences. My goal is to understand and respect what makes your pet special and give them the best care that I can. This includes play, pets, grooming, and cleaning up their messes. I currently have limited availability during the week due to my job. However, I have wide weekend availability and will be more open in the summer. My goal is to understand and respect what makes your pet special. No two animals are the same and have different needs. I strive to give them the best care I can, including play, pets, grooming, and cleaning up their messes.

About: I've never not owned a pet! From growing up in a dog-loving family with golden retrievers and black labs, to becoming a cat dad 5 years ago, I believe having animals around is simply good for the soul. I've trained all types of puppies over the years and rescued both dogs and cats growing up. I would love to care for your animal! I currently work from home 3 days a week, and I am gone 8am - 2pm the other week days depending on my schedule, which is flexible. I am home every evening and available for care every day of the week. I live in a 3 bedroom house with a nice fenced-in backyard! I have a friendly dog and cat duo that both get along well with all animals. I have the ability to keep them away from your pet if that is an issue. I have lots of toys, treats, and love to offer your pet whether it's in my home or yours!

About: Hi! I’m Jade 🐾💚 I recently moved from Ohio to Minneapolis to build my new post grad life, and I’m missing all the pets I left behind! I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for years and would love to give your furry kids some extra love while you’re away!! I have experience with reactive dogs, senior dogs, blind dogs, deaf dogs, incontinence, overnight stays, and puppies in addition to caring for indoor and outdoor cats with funny personalities. I'm super flexible and happy to adapt to your pet's individual needs and your schedule. Whether your pet loves extra snuggles, or just someone to keep them company, I'm excited to make some new furry friends and meet them where they're at! I'm currently working a hybrid full time schedule, with 3 days in the office and 2 days wfh from 9-5. This gives me a good amount of flexibility to accommodate your pets needs. Need someone for just a day or a long 5 day weekend? I’m your girl! I’m comfortable meeting your fur babies where they’re at! Give me their medication schedule, walk routine, favorite things, and any other instructions, and I’ll take note and make sure they have a great time while you’re away. 🐾 When watching your pets in your home, I follow a strict “leave it as you found it” policy and will make sure your home is well taken care of, too!

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was 11 years old, training them and taking care of their health and happiness. I am a reliable dog walker, letting them explore outside and have fun safely. Pet care is a consistent part of my daily routine. I make sure my dog is fed, walked, given fresh water, and cared for throughout the day. I also set aside time for play, grooming, and attention. I live in a spacious apartment with a balcony and a large park right outside, which makes it easy to provide plenty of exercise and outdoor time. I keep my home clean and pet-friendly, and I’m attentive to each pet’s routine, comfort, feeding, walks, and playtime. In a client’s home, I would follow their instructions closely and keep their pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible.

About: I've been a dog lover my entire life and grew up with dogs in the family. I've had my own dog, Sully, for over six years and have experience fostering dogs of different ages and personalities. Since I was 12, I've cared for pets for friends, family, and neighbors, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet's unique personality. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just extra cuddles, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away 💛 Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for each week. I work a hybrid schedule and am home on Wednesdays and Fridays, making those great days for daycare, boarding, or drop-in visits. I'm also available most weekends and for longer stays. I share my home with my dog, Sully, a friendly 30-pound dog who loves meeting new friends. Your pet will get lots of attention, exercise, and care while they're with me! 🐾 When caring for pets in my home, I treat them like part of the family. They'll receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, and outdoor exercise throughout the day. My apartment has access to a fenced-in dog area, and I'm surrounded by great walking trails, so your pup will get lots of opportunities to explore and burn off energy. Pets are welcome on the furniture and can make themselves at home while they're here. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. Whether that means walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or extra snuggles, I'll make sure they receive attentive, personalized care. I do ask that we schedule a meet-and-greet before any booking. I have a friendly 30-pound dog named Sully, and I like to make sure everyone gets along and that it's a great fit for both pets and owners. 🐾

“Jara was fantastic at providing drop-in visits for my cat while I was on a vacation! She is very kind, friendly, and great at communication. My cat is very wary with new people but he walked right up to her and warmed up much faster than normal - she has great energy & experience! Wouldn’t hesitate to book again in the future. Thanks Jara!”

About: While most of my experience with pets and pet sitting comes from time spent with cats, I adore dogs. My mom has always had them, including three very sweet pit-bull mixes who love to cuddle, run, and play. I know how to wrangle my cat-person vibes just enough to attend to the needs of any furry friend, in any phase of play. I'm a graduate student at the U of M, so my schedule can get a little unorthodox depending on the time of month (I.e., days where I’m wide open, moments when I’m on campus for 12-14 hours), but I’ll always prioritize your furry friend! Morning, Evening, and Overnight care fits best into my schedule, with occasional capacity to pop in for afternoon visits. I think the most important thing is paying attention to non-verbal cues; give the baby space when they're expressing that they need it, and be there to ensure that they're comfortable enough to make it through your absence.
