Pet Sitting Madison Lake

“Shenice went above & beyond in helping to care for our dog, Reggie! She came and met him at our home prior to our booking, provided a toy to him the first day, and was attentive to him on all visits. I especially appreciated the cute photo updates - she even included a couple pictures of our cats which I loved. :) Will definitely book again when services are needed.”

“Wendy was great with our cats. She was consistent with her visits and updates. We loved the photos she sent. We could tell they had fun with here when we came home because one of them brought his wand to us to play with.”

“Hannah was excellent yet again! She has always done such a great job with our animals. It great to know our pets are in such good hands when we are gone. Thanks Hannah!”

About: Pet Care Experience: I’ve cared for pets of all kinds—from energetic puppies to gentle seniors—and I pride myself on giving each animal the same love and attention they’d get from their family. I’m experienced with administering medications, following special diets, and providing calm, reassuring care for anxious pets. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or quiet companionship, I adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. What Sets Me Apart: I focus on building trust through consistency, patience, and clear communication. I take time to learn each pet’s routine and preferences, making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. My background in handling multiple pets at once and caring for animals with special needs means you can relax knowing your pets are in capable hands. Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine. I plan my days around feeding times, walks, and check-ins to make sure each pet gets the attention and consistency they need. I’m flexible with scheduling and can accommodate afternoon, or evening visits depending on your pet’s routine. Whether it’s daily drop-ins, overnight care, or weekend stays, I make sure your pet’s comfort and routine always come first. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect I’d want for my own. I follow all care instructions closely, keep things tidy, and provide updates so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether it’s sticking to training routines, administering medication, or giving extra cuddles, I adapt to each pet’s personality and comfort level.

“Breanna always does a wonderful job taking care of my dog. This time I just needed her to drop-in a couple of times during the day. I appreciate that she spends some time with Nola when she is here and sends pictures and updates. She always provides excellent care, whether it is overnights or drop-ins.”

“Addison did exactly what i needed her to. She took care of my dogs and was super flexible with my crazy work schedule. I could tell when i got home by how happy my dogs were that she treated them good! I recommend her to anyone looking to get their dogs cared for!”

“I had an amazing experience with Elizabeth! She was incredibly caring, punctual, and followed all of my instructions perfectly. She kept me extremely updated with detailed messages and lots of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She truly went above and beyond in caring for my cats. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter.”

About: I have spent the past few summers doing overnight dog sitting in my hometown just about every weekend. I have been recommended and continue to get new jobs. I am a part time nursing student at Bethany Lutheran College so I have plenty of free time. I also serve in the army national Gaurd. I have now been dog walking and dog sitting for over 4 years in Mankato and absolutely love it. I would love for more opportunities. I am a part time student at Bethany Lutheran College and have classes in the morning so I have plenty of free time in the afternoon and overnight. I also get plenty of breaks between classes to check up. Over the past four summers of my dog sitting career I have had multiple clients that have me stay at their house over the weekends while they are gone. I love running and exercising so the animals are sure to stay active. I have not run into any problems in the years I have pet sit before.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, so being around pups feels like home to me. I love getting outside, watching movies and lounging, and walks! My goal is for every dog to feel safe, happy, and cared for. I am off in the summer so I am able to spend most of the day with the pups! I just graduated from my masters and begin my full time job in September! I only do in-home pet sitting because dogs are way more relaxed and happy in the spaces they already know and love. When I stay in a client’s home, I treat it with respect, follow the routines they already have, and make sure their pups feel safe, cozy, and cared for. I build trust by keeping communication open, asking questions if I need to, and making sure caregivers feel supported knowing their animals are in good hands. I joined this app because I genuinely just love dogs and wanted a way to spoil and hang with pupperz while their caregivers are away!

About: I’ve lived with 5 hunting dogs my entire life as I was a hunting family and had to always take care of them at home. I now own two dogs of my own that are rescues and I love them as my own family. I have taught all my dogs to sit, fetch, and learn commands. They love to play and go smell around the neighborhood. Let me know if your pet has a special accommodations! I currently work 2-3 days a week depending on the week, so I will have plenty of time to play with your animals and let them out! I am used to watching anywhere from small to large dogs as I have grown up with all sizes in my family. If your dog loves to go on walks, great because I love to exercise!

About: I recently transitioned from my role as an outpatient therapist to explore roles that allow me to be more emotionally and physically present in my own life. Throughout my career, I've been known for my warmth, patience, reliability, and ability to build trust. These qualities that naturally extend to the way I care for animals. I grew up in a home that was never without a pet whether it was birds, dogs, cats, etc. I learned from an early age what it means to provide a safe, loving, and enriching environment for animals of all kinds. Today, my own little family includes Phoenix, my wise 12-year-old cat and queen of the house, Gibson, my affectionate Golden Retriever, and Maize, my endlessly curious 10-week-old black kitten. Caring for them is one of the greatest joys in my life. I love everything from long walks and cuddle sessions to finding new enrichment activities and making sure they feel safe, happy, and deeply loved. I'll care for your pets with the same attentiveness, patience, and genuine love that I give my own. I'd be honored to be a small part of helping your pets feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you're away! I have recently decided to transition from my previous role as an outpatient therapist and have plenty of time for visits and walks sprinkled throughout the day. I am available M-F from 7:00 AM- 3:00 PM for drop-in visits/walks/etc. I currently live in a two-story home with my three pets Phoenix (12-year-old cat), Gibson (9-year-old Golden Retriever) and Maize (10-week-old kitten). Each of my pets have aspects of our home set up to meet their individual needs, whether that is areas to climb, separate spaces for their food/water, windows to see the world through and full access to all the cozy spots. I love taking slow walks with Gibson, and allow him time to sniff and snoof whatever he pleases along the way. However, the weather in Minnesota is not always friendly for walks during the day. On these days I will often create enrichment activities for Gibson such as peanut butter/water "pupsicles", hiding kibble around the living room for him to sniff and find, peanut butter bones (when we are at a happy weight) and just overall pets and snuggles. As for my cats - Phoenix enjoys quality time most of all - so I try to carve out special time for us to exist in the same space, with pets as she pleases. She also enjoys playing with her wand toys, catnip in her cat tree or snoozing in one of her many enclosed beds or window hammocks. My 10-week-old kitten's (Maize) care involves more consistent responsibilities throughout the day/week. I play with him for a short time before his meals, feed him, offer some alone time or more play (depending on his energy level) and typically put him in his safe room for some time after this to rest. I repeat this three times a day, with the night play session being longer and more energized. I scoop the litter box morning, afternoon and evening. There are many days I have to clean his bottom, paws or space due to a poop fiasco - I have gotten good at making this quick and painless. I also spend a lot of my time redirecting and teaching the lesson "Fingers are not toys" (if you've had/have a kitten you understand). Overall, I do my best to create a safe, healthy and predictable environment for my little housemates!

About: Hi! My name is Sage and I specialize in animal caretaking and welfare. I have lived my entire life with at least one animal in the house and I have been dog sitting on and off since high school. I am certified in three years of dog training and currently live with my lovely cat, London. I’ve never met a pet that I haven’t loved, and past employers would describe me as dependable, easy-going, and kind. My days are entirely open, except for the occasional one or two days a week where I am called in from one of my other jobs. I am also a full-time college student during the fall and winter time, but my summers are almost entirely clear. In my home, I live with my cat London, and four other housemates. If your animal stayed with me, they would never feel alone and would always have somebody in the house that can watch them or be there for all their needs. We have a lovely backyard full of grass, a back deck for lounging and sunbathing and a large neighborhood for daily walks. Your pet would feel like a king or queen in a castle! :)

“Bobbie Jo did a great job eith our pups and was great at communicating each time she visited.”

“Allison took such great care of our boy! She was communicative, responsible, and respectful of our home. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”

About: I have experience with pit bulls, yorkies, dachshunds, chihuahuas, labs, golden retrievers, huskies, shelties, and more. I’ve taken care of pets all of my life and have a special love for them. I currently am flexible in my schedule and have some availability in many times of the day depending on the needs of my own dog, but still have a lot of availability. I take excellent care of pets like they are my own. A pets safety and happiness is most important to me and I will do everything I can to take care of them.

About: I’ve had lots of experience with pets! I grew up with a Dachshund and an English Setter. A few years ago my mom bred her dachshund and I got one of the puppies. Shortly after that my husbands parents did the same with their Australian Shepherd, and we got one of those puppies as well. Such an amazing experience!! Since then we’ve gone to puppy training classes and have found about every trail around the Mankato area with our pups. We both come from dog loving families who continue to add more to their households…while we may not be ready for another dog quite yet, taking care of your fur babies would be such a reward!! I am a teacher so I have my summers off which means lots of free time to fit in walks & potty breaks. Once school starts up again, I still have most evenings and weekends available too. I have a leash out back to let our dogs out on and a patio area to hang out with them while they’re outside. I have 2 dogs that would love to make fur friends and I believe socializing them is important. However, I understand all dogs are different. My dogs are kennel trained for anytime another dog (or human) may not be comfortable with that yet. We keep them in a certain area of the house we’ve designated as the “dog room” for when we leave the house.

About: I have had all kinds of animals growing up, I love all animals and am great with any kind!! I can provide great care and comfort to your babies when you’re away :) I currently go to school and work part-time at caribou coffee and will be working at avera brady in the soon as well, I would stay at homes if requested. I check on the animals frequently and make sure they have both food and water. I also make sure they are well taken care of before bed.
