About: I am able to do any pet of any size! I have been pet sitting/dog walking for 7 years now and have worked in animal resuce. Since I have worked with animals of all sizes and breeds, there is not an animal I would turn down care for. I am also great if you have a lot of pets and are looking for someone who can handle them all! I am familiar and comfortable with animals that have special needs. I have experience with behavioral issues, medications, blood glucose testing for animals with diabetes, and other special needs. I also can accommodate longer stays such as vacations or work travel! I have a lot of flexibility and a mode of transportation so I'm also open to the surrounding areas or if you live out of town. I am a full time student but have a lot of flexibility! I have multiple no class days where I am available and can do drop-ins between classes on days I have them. I am great at accommodating any needs your animals may have. I believe that all animals have unique needs and should be prioritized to make sure they are as comfortable as possible! I am very familiar with animal body language and am extremely patient/willing to work with every animals quirks. They are just like people and have unique personalities!
“We love having Denni come visit and take care of our dogs!! They get more comfortable each time she comes over and we feel so lucky to have her! :)”
About: I am a recent college graduate living in Mankato. I grew up on a farm taking care of animals from birth to passing. I have always been a very passionate animal lover and owner. I have previously owned cats, goats, and chickens. And I have taken care of dogs, horses, turtles, and fish so I have a wide variety of knowledge. I currently work a full time job Monday through Friday. But I am open during the weekday evenings for drop in visits and dog walking and I am open on the weekends to house sit. I would not be able to host a pet since I live in an apartment. However I can come to the house of the owner. I am able to match the animal’s needs whether that is relaxing on the couch or playing outside.
About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, and the idea of becoming a dog walker and sitter feels like the perfect way to combine my passion with a meaningful job. Spending time with dogs, taking them on walks, and giving them the attention they need brings me immense joy. I love the idea of helping dogs get the exercise and companionship they deserve while providing peace of mind to their owners. Whether it’s a long walk in the park or some quiet time at home, I’m excited by the thought of offering both dogs and their owners a stress-free and enjoyable experience. I am currently a full time aviation student and Minnesota State Mankato, and work a part time online job. I am available during most nights, weekends, and sometimes during the day (depending on class and flight time). I am unable to have pets in my apartment but I am more than willing to visit your pet in the comfort of their home when it is needed!
“Madalyn was awesome! She took extra time to get to know our pups and sent us plenty of updates while we were away. Will reach out to her again!”
About: I have had a dog ever since I was born, so this has created a huge love for dogs for me. I am so used to walking and taking care of dogs and now that I am away at college I am missing that puppy time! I have years experience of pet sitting other dogs that come from different background and have more difficult care needed. I have also walked shelter and neighbor dogs in the past! I am in nursing school right now so I have random days that I might have meetings, class, or clinicals but this is my only job so I have time to spare! I am willing to take any extra steps needed to take safe care of your dog in your own home. Giving them love and treats is always helpful!!
“Ninna was wonderful! Gave frequent updates and pictures, and provided a comfortable and safe home for our pet. Will probably book again in the future!”
About: There’s never been a time where I haven’t been around animals. Growing up on the farm, taking care of my own dogs, and recently getting a cat. I’m always the person the animals run to and cling to, I love it just as much as they do. currently, I am recently graduated from university. Looking for a part-time or full-time work however, my animals (and hopefully yours) are always my first priority! The most important part of taking care of pets is the time you spend with them, the patience you demonstrate, and understanding the love they need. My animals wait by the door for me to come home and never leave my side when I’m here.
“We were very pleased with Jenna! She gave updates and sent pictures and made us feel very confident that our boys were in great hands!”
About: I’ve always been surrounded with animals, including dogs, chickens, cats, bunnies, and goats. I’ve dealt with a lot of different breeds ranging from Great Danes to Chihuahua. I’m currently a college student going to school for social work! I work at a nursing home as a CNA. I’m also in the Army National Guard. While that does keep me busy I do love taking care of animals in my free time and being active! I have been to a few training sessions with my own dogs, so I can help out with some basic training tasks. I can easily go on walks and runs with your dog. I’m very flexible with your needs so just let me know!
“Kailey did an awesome job at making sure my girls were taken care of while on vacation and provided a great amount of updates and pictures!”
About: I’ve had dogs, cats, rabbits, and many more animals since I’ve been 2 years old. I’m in Mankato for college and staring vet tech school next year! I do have a full time job as well but would love to take care of your animals with my free time! I’ve had lots of experience taking care of big dogs and small dogs. I also have experience with reactive dogs or dogs who might need a little more attention. I do also have experience working with dog who need medications( injections, pills, etc.). I have worked at an animal clinic for the past 2 years where I have had lots of practice with all different kinds of dogs and their needs. I have a real passion for animals, especially dogs!! I’m typically available throughout the day/night as I’m just taking a couple on in person classes at mnsu! I do also have another job but i generally get off at 10am, 1pm on the weekend:) I’d love to walk, feed, and love on your puppies!! I am very well experienced and trained on handling dogs on leashes no matter how they walk. I have lots of experience correctly measuring food and supplements as well as crating and playing with dogs!
About: I grew up with dogs and have been around them my whole life. I recently adopted one of my own, Lena. She lives with me and we love life together. Lena is a great dog. She is good with other dogs, but does best off her leash. I make sure she is walked twice a day every day. I am a college student who is home often during the day. I only have 2 in-person classes. I am a college student who loves dogs and has the extra time at home to care for a dog. I love walking and spending time with animals. I often do school work from home and am home a lot of the time. I make sure pets get two walks a day, always have water, and have access to outside on the regular. I spend plenty of time at home and love spending time with pets. I am available to spend time with pets at your home due to school being flexible.

10. Celeste T.
“Celeste is a lifelong friend of mine. She is amazing with animals. As a child I would go to her house and watch how she would care for her pets. I admired how she taught her goats to trust humans. You could walk in the barn and they would all come running looking for pets. She's good with not only her own pets but other people's. She loved spending time with my dog as a kid. We would play with my dog together both inside and out in the woods. If she lived near me she would definitely be the first person I'd ask to pet sit if I needed it. I know my pets would be happy and healthy upon my return.”
11. Paige S.

Olivia did an amazing job watching my sweet Bella. She took the time to make sure my dog was being fed on schedule, give Bella her medicine, and even let Bella out at 2am! I'm so happy I was able to find her, and I will definitely be reaching out to her for my next business trip!”
