About: I’m always asking friends and family if they need someone to watch their animals or even just take them for a walk because I love animals! Of all shapes and sizes. I am currently working from home so I’ll be able to spend all day with your pal! I can let them out, feed, cuddle as needed. I live in a house with plenty of room to roam and a great window view for your animal! I do not have a fenced in yard so letting dogs out would be supervised on a leash.

“Breanna took wonderful care of my dog Nola. Nola is currently on medication, and I appreciated that Breanna was both experienced and comfortable with giving her her medicine. She sent updates and photos while she was here. You can tell she has a great love for dogs! I will definitely have her watch Nola again!”

“Luella was absolutely an amazing cat sitter for us! She would send updates regularly, pictures and videos. It was so nice to be on vacation and know that our cat was well taken care of while we were away! Thank you Luella!”

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 in my last stretch of my masters program at MSU - I graduate in July 2026! I have an internship Mon-Wed that requires me to be on site in St. Peter from 8am-4pm. Other than occasional in person classes, I am very flexible to fit you and your pups schedule! 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!

“This was a first for me using this resource and Mandy was absolutely amazing to work with! She texted pictures and gave me little updates throughout her time with our dog. On top of hanging out with our dog she also helped feed our guinea pig and our lizard. I will definitely be using her again in the future and encourage anyone else to too. For an added bonus, she even brought in our amazing delivery boxes so they didn’t sit outside! Again, she was really great and I would recommend her to everyone.”

About: I have grown up my whole life with many different cats and dogs. So I have experience with all sizes of dogs and all moods of cats. My husband's family raises German shepherds, and I grew up with rescue cats and dogs of all breeds! We currently have a Golden Retriever dog and a House cat. For drop-in visits or dog-walking: I am a teacher, so early mornings, afternoons/evenings, and weekends are my primary availability. During the weekdays, I can do drop-ins early before school, after school, walks after school, and of course, before bedtime (after my baby goes to bed around 7pm). On the weekends, I am much more available. We do go to church on Sunday mornings, but I can still go to early morning and afternoon/evening services. For holidays, I am a bit more available as we don’t have school. While we are sleeping or away at work, puppies are put into either a kennel or a playpen to keep both our home and the puppies safe. While we are home and able to keep an eye on them, they have access to the house for playing, snuggling, or eating their meals. Water is always available, and we go outside frequently to exercise or relieve ourselves. We do have a line outside as an option for dogs to get attached to if they are a winter breed (i.e., husky) that desires to sit in the snow.

“Melissa was awesome!! Bella loved her and we received pictures and updates while she was with her. I highly recommend her! Thank you, Melissa, for taking such great care of our girl!”

“Iris did a fantastic job! We will definitely be using her again!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets longer than I can remember - from helping grandma with her horses and barn cats to spoiling and training our own dachshund puppy and two amazing kitties - I am well equipped for any situation. Some background for me: I was born and raised in Alaska! There I took care of cats of varying abilities/disabilities/age, dogs of all sizes and abilities/disabilities/age, and fish! There’s been instances where I have stayed over a month to look over a special needs cat, and dug my car out after a heavy snow to make sure a hyper puppy gets a good hike in! I’m adaptable and communicative - you can be sure that I’ll send you plenty of photos and videos of your pet while you’re gone! Now I’m here in Minnesota to finish college, start life with my new husband, and take care of the pets in Southern Minnesota! I’m currently still a student! But I have Tuesdays, Thursdays, and the weekends for the most part completely open! Otherwise, I will make sure to check in on your pets between classes to ensure they don’t go more than four hours alone. I can’t have a pet in my apartment right now 😭 but when I’m back home in Alaska, we had a fenced area for our dog while she was still with us, and we have two full-time indoor cats. We love to spoil our animals - lots of love, kindness, and a patient environment. Just positive reinforcement and steady routines over here!

About: I have been around animals all my life. Cats and dogs alike. I have taken care of my own dog and my grandmas cats as well. I love all animals and will take care of any kind. I am a student at Mankato University, but my availability is competitive. I have class on Tuesday and Thursday. But besides those days I am available. I can do overnight sitting from Friday to Monday as well. I can follow instructions as closely as possible. I will ensure that your animals are as cared for as possible. If anything happens I will contact the owner as fast as possible, I will also contact the owner if any questions come up.

“Hayli was responsive to requests and took good care of my boys while I was on my honeymoon.”

“Hannah was great with our two big boys! She adapted quickly to the needs of our dogs and was so patient with our one nervous boy. She is a great communicator, providing consistent and thorough updates. I fully recommend Hannah for your pet care needs!”

About: I grew up caring for my two dogs and two cats, giving me extensive experience with both species from an early age. I currently help care for my friend's dog with walks and potty breaks when she is away, and I frequently snuggle and bond with my roommate's cat. What sets me apart is my constant supervision from my remote job and my genuine appreciation for each pet's unique personality. I am comfortable handling animals in various environments, and I have personal experience going on adventures and hikes with my friends' pets. I love directing my attention and extra love toward their individual characteristics. Since I work a remote, part-time job, my schedule is highly flexible, allowing me to give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day. I enjoy taking myself on walks and would love to add a furry companion to the mix, ensuring they get multiple, long walks and frequent outdoor breaks. While I don't have a fenced yard, I am available to provide frequent, potty breaks and am committed to walking your dog multiple times daily for exercise and enrichment. Safety is my top priority, and I am careful to secure all doors and follow all of your instructions.

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.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was younger and I can walk, bath, play and give treats to your furry babies. I have experience with distributing medications. I understand having a healthy diet for your animals, if they need to be fed a certain diet, I will follow there meal plan. I love training puppies and taking care of senior dogs. When your furry baby is left with me, I treat all dogs like they are my own. I am currently not working, I stay home with my three year old, I am available during the week, weekends and overnights. I have a golden doodle, she is 9 and loves any dogs. I do not have a fenced in area, my dog does not need a leash, but she respects other dogs that do need leashes. When it is nice, my dog likes to sub bathe in the sun. I like to let my dog out every 2-3 hours, unless its an old dog, then I understand to do every hour or even a new puppy every 30 minutes. I have a baby proofed house, so animals are safe in my household. If your dog needs medication, I can distribute medications. We love playing catch and walks in this household. Any dog is welcome into my home, even if your dog doesn't like other dogs, I will accommodate your dogs needs to make sure they are happy. I currently work overnights, 6 days a week, but can accommodate any needs for your furry babes. I can move my daytime schedule through the week, since it is fairly flexible. I do not have a fenced in backyard, but I will use walking leashes to let them outside and/or if you like your dogs to just roam, I’m okay with that too. I will have eyes on your pets to make sure they are safe.

About: Ive been known to walk a few dogs and hunt cats down, haha. More about being around dogs than $, etc. helping people, etc, etc I do long jobs out of town and drive Uber Eats, so I make my own custom schedule. I may be available at times when you need or want a caretaker. I follow custom instructions, and do what's healthy and right for your dog (s), including filling water, food, going outside, playing ,and paying attention to dogs.
