Dog Sitting in Maple Plain

About: I have cared for animals since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have asked me to petsit, walk, bath and help care for their animals. I can care for puppies/kittens to seniors and everyone in-between. I rely on positive reinforcement for training. I can administer medications, trim nails and other care required. I have worked as a Vet Tech and currently I am in school to become a certified Vet Tech. I am currently in school with mostly online classes so I can seamlessly accommodate your pets care. I will send daily updates and/or photos if requested. I care for your pets from the comfort of your home giving you piece of mind while traveling while your pet will be less stressed.

“Courtney was great! She was on time every day and sent lots of pictures of the pups who seemed like they had a great time. I would definitely hire her again!”

“Carrie was great. She changed out the battery on the garage door opener when it didn't work on her second visit. And she was clearly worried when she couldn't find our super old cat during a couple of her visits. He was fin. We'll be booking her next time we travel.”

About: Hi, I’m Brock 👋 I’m a dependable, active sitter based in the west metro area, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. My fiancée Sara rescued our dog Maya when she was 2 years old, and since then I’ve seen firsthand how much patience, consistency, and calm energy it takes for a rescue dog to feel safe and comfortable. That experience really shaped how I approach every pet I care for—respecting their space, reading their body language, and never rushing trust. I understand that every dog is different. Some are social and playful, others are shy, protective, or need slow introductions to new people. I’m very comfortable working with dogs that need a little extra patience or structure, and I always prioritize safety and comfort above everything else. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or just keeping your pet company while you’re away, I make sure they feel relaxed, cared for, and secure. I’m reliable with communication and will always keep you updated so you have peace of mind. I’m active, responsible, and genuinely enjoy being around dogs—especially getting outside for walks and helping them burn energy in a positive way. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup! Pet care fits well into my weekly routine because I have a structured but flexible schedule. I work as a golf professional, which keeps me active and organized, and allows me to plan my days in advance. Outside of my golf schedule, I dedicate specific time blocks during the day and evening for pet care. This includes walks, drop-ins, and check-ins, and I make sure each visit gets my full attention without rushing. I typically have the most availability during weekday mid-mornings, afternoons, and some evenings, depending on the day. I’m also able to accommodate weekend care when scheduled in advance. Overall, I enjoy having pet care as part of my routine and take pride in being reliable, consistent, and attentive with every animal I care for. I provide calm, attentive, and reliable pet care with a strong focus on safety, routine, and each pet’s individual needs. In a client’s home, I respect the space and follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, walking, medication, and behavioral guidelines. I prioritize keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment and provide consistent updates and photos for peace of mind. I work as a golf professional, which gives me a structured and organized schedule that allows me to plan dedicated, uninterrupted time for pet care. This ensures I can be fully present during each visit without rushing or overlapping responsibilities. During walks and drop-ins, I tailor care to each pet’s personality and energy level. I’m especially comfortable with shy, cautious, or rescue dogs and always take a calm, patient approach to building trust. My goal is simple: dependable, high-quality care that keeps pets safe, relaxed, and well looked after while their owners are away.

I’m reliable, responsive, and happy to work with different routines and schedules to best fit your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure every pet is supervised, cared for attentively, and kept in a calm, loving environment. I always follow any routines, feeding schedules, medication instructions, or special requests provided by owners. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, and I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and care as if they were my own.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs through both personal ownership and years of helping friends and family with their pets. I am a dog owner myself, so I understand the importance of routine, patience, and individualized care. Over the years, I’ve regularly watched friends’ dogs, providing house sitting, drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I’m comfortable managing multiple dogs, maintaining schedules, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize clear communication with owners for peace of mind. I’m a part-time student with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, playtime, and house sitting, and I prioritize sticking to your pet’s normal routine. I care for pets in their own home by following their usual routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and potty breaks. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, and I provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.
