House Sitting in Maple Grove

“If I could give Paul 12 stars I would. We had planned for months to secure a sitter for our dogs (one w special needs) which fell through last minute. We found Paul literal days before our trip out of the country for over a week. Let me count the ways in which we unintentionally threw him curve balls: - my laptop broke right before leaving and he had to manage a delivery from my company - only a day in my sister had an emergency (no heat) and her entire family had to move in! We kept Paul on during the day while my sisters family stayed overnight. - my sister also had a dog and we had to add an additional dog to the scope. Also, it was a great Dane! No small ask. - there was a huge snowstorm and he couldn't even drive down the road! With every single bump, Paul stayed calm, professional, and communicative. He far surpassed our expectations and we feel like the chaos and unexpected issues helped to create a deep sense of trust in Paul. We would absolutely hire him again and we would encourage anyone reading this to hire him immediately. Needless to say, my dogs absolutely worshipped him as well. Hero.”

About: I’ve had pets since I was a kid and have always had a very large role in taking care of them. I love animals of every kind, and always have so much fun taking care of them. I’ve watched my family and friend’s animals many times, and always make sure to send lots of updates on how they are doing, as well as providing the best care! I have worked at a vet hospital as a receptionist, and in that role have had a lot of hands on experience with animals. It taught me how to work with every animal, and was one of my favorite jobs. I’m currently working as a substitute teacher, and am usually able to make my own schedule, which gives me the flexibility for all of your pets needs! I always make sure to read all care instructions through so that I can understand them so that your pet is getting the best care possible. I also am someone who will always take a gentle approach with your pet, creating trust between us. That trusting relationship is very important for all situations. I will always respect your space, making sure to leave it exactly how I found it!

“It is not easy to care for a puppy but Kim nailed it. My puppy barked at her first then wanted to play and snuggle with her during the pet sitting days. Normally my puppy won't even let people pet her. I felt comfortable leaving my puppy with her. Kim didn't mind sleeping on the couch and also left the house the way it was. We will definitely book her again in the near future.”

About: As a veterinary student, I feel confident in fulfilling your animals needs. From long term dog sitting or daily walks, I currently have a pretty open schedule. I have extensive experience with reactive dogs and can work with them on their confidence. While not a professionally trained dog trainer, I am happy to work with them while walking them. My schedule is pretty flexible to what your animal needs. I am available to stay overnight if needed. I can give up to 4 walks during the day and give them a long walk up to 30 minutes. I would treat them as my own and make sure they get comfortable with me. I make sure they get a daily long walk as well as potty breaks throughout the day. For boarding, I will make it as close to their normal daily routine as possible.

“Rebecca was amazing! The dogs love her so much they’re still looking for her in the guest room hoping to find her! We enjoyed our vacation so much more knowing they were in good hands”

“Caitlynn is GREAT. She saved me in a pinch when I had another sitter back out mid-sit while I was away for a funeral. Caitlynn is responsive, professional, and kind. My two huskies love her, she’s great with following instructions and being flexible if needed. I will rebook Caitlynn anytime and highly recommend her services. If I was a millionaire I’d reserve her full time for myself LOL. Thanks Caitlyn!”

About: I have tons of personal experience with my own childhood dogs as well as all dogs that I know through my friends, family friends, coworkers etc. whether your dog wants to snooze the day away or walk for miles on end and sniffing everything in sight, I’m happy to offer my time and attention for your fur baby to be 110% taken care of when you’re away. I also fully believe anyone on vacation should be able to enjoy their time away without excessive texts from a sitter—so unless you want extensive updates, I would only contact you if it was absolutely necessary/urgent. If you want daily updates, I’m happy to do so because I know I enjoy some cute pics of my cats snoozing away in the sun on days I go to the office! I work remotely and depending on your needs and distance, I am available for mid day drop ins. If given enough time to plan ahead, I can also be available to work remotely from your home to keep your pets company in your absence. I’m extremely flexible—willing to stay overnight or just do day time visits. I always like to schedule a meet & greet beforehand for any service. At this time, I do not offer any services from my own home since I rent and have 4 cats of my own that would definitely not enjoy extra visitors. I’m happy to conduct any services from your home. Again, I always like to schedule a meet & greet beforehand for any service. For home stays, I also prefer 1 emergency contact that lives close by and the address/phone number for the vet your animals see. In return, I’m available for your 24/7 during the services you have trusted me with 😁

About: What sets me apart is that I focus on making every dog feel safe, comfortable, and understood. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to each dog’s personality and routine, whether they’re high-energy puppies or older dogs who need a slower pace and extra care. I’m especially comfortable with: - Puppies and young dogs, including reinforcing basic training like leash manners, potty routines, and positive behavior. - Senior dogs who may need gentler walks, medication reminders, mobility support, or a calmer environment. - Dogs with anxiety or shy temperaments, using patience and positive reinforcement to build trust. - Keeping owners updated with photos, walk summaries, and clear communication so they always know how their pet is doing. I treat every dog like they’re my own and aim to provide dependable care that gives both pets and owners peace of mind. I work part-time from home remotely, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your dogs. Available for dog walking after 3pm. I care for pets by keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in a client’s home. I take the time to learn each pet’s schedule, personality, exercise needs, feeding routine, and any special instructions so they feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, and companionship while also respecting the owner’s space and routine. I keep litter boxes or outdoor areas clean, monitor pets for any changes in behavior or health, and provide regular updates with photos and messages. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment with plenty of supervision, affection, and structured routines. I make sure pets have comfortable spaces to rest, opportunities for exercise and enrichment, and slow introductions if other pets are present. My priority is always making pets feel safe, cared for, and loved while giving owners peace of mind that their pets are in reliable hands.

About: Hello there, my name is Riley and i love pets of all shapes and sizes, big, small you name it. i have a ton of experience pet sitting and would be more than happy to dog sit in your home and stay there as needed also willing to do drop ins to feed and water. I also do walks around your neighborhood as well if needed. i am a honest, hardworking and trustworthy person and i will treat your pets as if they were my own, because really isn't that what every pet owner wants? to know that their pets are taken care of and loved when they are away for long periods of time or just for the day while your at work. I always make time for clients and there pets no matter what. I will treat your dog as my own, and i am available 24/7. I always listen to instructions and follow them to a T, always make sure everything is locked up when I leave and the dogs are in crates if you crate them.

About: I get along with people and animals love me I have about a year experience with a friends 4 dogs very little medication experience, but will follow instructions I have reliable transportation, If there is a good position for me on here, I am willing to make time completely I’m reliable and honest I have two cats. I love them very much. They are with me 24/7 I also used to have a Shih Tzu that my grandma left us when she passed, unfortunately, she left us as well, but she was cared for very well.

About: I’ve always took a liking to animals and always had postive bonds with them. Over the years of growing up my grandfather owned several big dogs and cats. While others would shy away, not me I always helped out and didn’t mind watching them. I currently run an online business which has allowed me to have so much time for my daily clients. Due to my freedom I’m able to provide walks as often as every two hours or less for my puppies. I also get to spend my days cuddled up with my temporary babies. Caring for any pet at my home or others will be very similar I will need to know any notes and any restrictions for me and the dog. As I would give them my complete attention so that it’s a little vacation for them as well as subtracting feeling neglected.
