Pet Sitting Madison Lake

About: I’m recently retired and have had dogs all my life, since being 7 years old. I had to put my last fur baby to sleep in January 2026 and will be traveling over the next few years so don’t want to get another right now, and really miss having a doggo around! I used Rover quite a bit when I had dogs so would love to pay it forward and help someone else. Plus then I hopefully will get my fix of dogs! I’m currently very flexible, having just retired. I usually walk first thing in the morning and then after dinner with our British lab, Lilly. Live in Madison Lake but willing to drive to Mankato or St. Peter, for pet sitting or dog walking. We have a great home for dogs, so am happy to do pet sitting in our home too. We have a small British lab but she is not in the house much; she is a sweet, lover dog that prefers to hang outside in her luxury kennel outside. We walk her twice daily, and she gets along with all dogs we meet.

“Sarah was awesome with our dog. Nala is a jumper, licker, and reactive. Sarah knew just what to do and her dog training experience was apparent. Great communication, too.”

“Shenice was an amazing, interactive, and loving care giver for our kitties! It was a blessing to find her as a pet sitter. She was great with communications and photos of our kitties everyday. Hands-down, Shenice is a part of our family and we will look to her services in the future ?‍⬛??”

“She did really well with caring for my 2 kitties while I was on vacation. I would definitely consider her and will be having her for future vacations.”

“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!”

“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.”

“I had a great experience with this pet sitter and would absolutely book with her again. She was incredibly detailed and meticulous in her notes, providing thorough daily updates (avg 60+ daily photos) that gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I always knew how my cats were doing, which made a huge difference. She was also very punctual and reliable--everything happened exactly as scheduled. Most importantly, it's clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. My cats were comfortable, well cared for, and clearly received a lot of attention. Even after my 4 days away, my cats welcomed me back like I was only gone for work. If you want a reliable local sitter, highly recommend her to anyone looking.”

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

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.

“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.”

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.

“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’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 have over 15 years of professional experience working with dogs. I manage a boarding and daycare facility, and am a certified trainer as well. I am a self employed, certified dog trainer who is looking to expand my clientelle and services offered. I have a very open and flexible schedule, weekends and evenings are okay with me! I will not be caring for any animals in my home so I do not disrupt my personal pets' lives, but I have extensive knowledge on safely handling dogs in any environment.

“Alex was amazing! She took care of my 11 week old golden retriever Auggie. I am very protective over my baby but I knew he was in good hands with her. I was very pleased with her communication, her professionalism and care for my little man. Highly recommend her for any of your pet needs! 10/10”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 7 years through friends, neighbors, and family. I genuinely love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or just extra cuddles and attention. I also understand how important communication is, so I always send updates and photos to help owners feel at ease.
