House Sitting in Mankato

“Kaitlyn was AMAZING. She answered any questions I had, sent updates, and was so so kind in regards to my anxiety leaving my dogs. Don’t think twice, book with her. 10/10.”

“Our dogs were happy and well taken care of!”

“Madalyn watched both my babies (cat and dog) on and off from 2019-2022. She did a wonderful job every time following through with all their needs. She stuck to their feeding schedule, walked my dog regularly and entertained them both. She would be a great choice for anyone if they’re in need of a pet sitter!”

“Paige is an extremely loving and caring person. She is responsible and honest. Paige has had cats and dogs her entire life and has always made sure they are fed and well groomed. She enjoys walking, playing ball and snuggling with her pets. I would trust her 1000%!”

“Maddi did a great job.She spent lots of time earning Biscuits trust and building a relationship. Biscuit was sitting on Maddie’s lap by the end. I appreciated all the care and attention she gave Biscuit.”

About: My career is in payroll, but my heart is with dogs. I grew up with them since birth and I've fostered and adopted 3 of my own over the years. They are family! My work experience with taking care of others' pups is through dog boarding/daycare facilities and I am very comfortable handling all sizes and breeds. Thank you in advance for trusting me to take care of your dog(s) like I do my own. I am available at least 2 weekends per month for house sitting and/or drop ins for walks, potty and feeding times, and cuddles. Some weekdays I do have flexibility for drop ins if needed. I often work remote and can flex my schedule around my daytime job. I am a safe caretaker when it comes to pets, ensuring leash and fence security if applicable. I am comfortable with crating and also giving medications.

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 husbands family raises German shepherds, and I grew up with rescue cats and dogs of all breads! We currently have two cats of our own, but can’t get a dog right now as we are renting our home. I am a teacher, so 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 bed time (after my baby goes to bed). 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. Because I am renting my home, I cannot do care in my own home yet. Care at your home varies depending on your pet, their needs, and your instructions.

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!

“Maxim took great care of our 2 year old German Shepherd. He is quite high energy and can be reactive towards other dogs, but he ensured he was well exercised and cared for nonetheless!”

“Grace stayed at our home while we were out of town and watched our dog and cat. She was so good to work with and communicated consistently. The pets loved her and she kept the house perfect!”

“Going out of town for an extended vacation was nerve racking for us as puppy parents. Fortunately we had Nate who is a kind, empathetic and caring person who very quickly built a trusting relationship with us and more importantly our dogs. Nate is a natural at building rapport and was able to quickly win our dogs over. We have three dogs and he managed each of their special needs with ease. We also have a very high needs dog in terms of medication along with a regimented walking and feeding schedule. Nate managed this with utmost care and diligence. I would trust Nate 100% with our dogs and would highly recommend him to anyone else be it they have two or four legs.”

“Ellie did a wonderful job with Biscuit. She also helped with important household chores. I am so grateful for Ellie and her support during our trip.”

“Jacey has always been an animal lover! She has always had pets growing up and is the “go-to” pet sitter for family and friends! She is very experienced with dogs and cats. She would be a great addition to the Rover team!”

“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!”

“Lauren H. would be an exceptional dog caregiver. She has done an amazing job raising her dog Finley. She is kind, compassionate and absolutely loves animals.”

“Amber did a fantastic job taking care of our two pups. She was extremely responsive and accountable. So we knew our pups were in good hands”

About: Hi there! I’m Wendy, an animal lover and dedicated pet caregiver with over 2 years of experience in dog walking, pet sitting (cats as well), and overnight care. I believe every pet deserves a loving and safe environment, and I strive to provide just that for your furry family members. I am currently available over the weekends, weekdays, and nights. I will be focusing on school so my availability is open to accommodate to your pets needs. I customize my services to fit your pet's needs and routines. You’ll receive daily updates and photos, so you won’t miss your furry friend while you’re away. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from energetic puppies to calm seniors. My experience with cats has only been with shorthair domestic cats, yet I am able to work with all breeds of cat.

“Kailey has taken such good care of my puppy over the last year! Any time I needed someone to quickly let her out to go potty, Kailey would go above and beyond and bring her on a fun walk or on a trip to get a pup cup in addition to letting her out to potty. She always would make time to play with her, and make sure she was happy before leaving. She was always willing to help me out, even at inconvenient times or when my puppy was being naughty. I also know Kailey has a cat of her own, who she loves like a son and takes such good care of. I definitely recommend Kailey to take care of your pets, as she will love them like they’re her family.”

About: I have been caring for my neighbors' dogs since I was 10, handling tasks like walking, feeding, and bathing. Additionally, I have cared for my own pets throughout my life, including dogs, cats, and guinea pigs. Growing up, my parents worked often, giving me plenty of experience in looking after animals. I will treat your fur babies with the same love and care as I would my own! I am currently a student at MNSU. My schedule is very flexible especially in summer months. I am very prompt and reliable. I will easily be able to fit your pets needs into my schedule. I am very good with animals and very respectful to homes! I have been well taught by my parents about how to care for animals and have been caring for animals my entire life!

“Great communicator. Took great care of the dogs and house. Sent photos when the kids were missing their dogs. Would recommend again.”
