“Lauren was wonderful with our big guy Max. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures of him enjoying the deck outside. She brushed him and made sure he got lots of attention while we were gone. It truly made our vacation much more enjoyable knowing she would be stopping by to spend time with him. I would highly recommend Lauren.”

About: Currently, I don’t have pets. But I watch my grand pup, Seina on a regular basis. She is a 3 yr old Parson Russel Terrier. I work in the mornings from 7am - 12pm. I’m usually home the remainder of the day. When I’m not home I have doggie cameras set up so I can check in on your dog. I live in a townhome. So I will take your dog for plenty of walks. They will receive lots of cuddles, love and special attention.

About: I've had more than 2 dogs in my home my entire life, from 8 week old puppies to seniors. I have experience giving the dogs medicine when they need it. I work part time at a retail store, so I am never working more than 9 hours at a time, I usually only work 4-5 hours normally. I make the pets my priority when I am caring for them and I watch their behaviors so I can catch anything out of the ordinary. I follow feeding directions and potty schedules.

“Joel provided an amazing drop-in service for us twice daily for 6 days for our 4 senior Dachshunds. He communicated with us each time he stopped by and sent pictures of the pups eating, getting some outdoor play time and settling down for naps until his next visit. They truly bonded with him because he gave them the kind of attention they crave—food, belly rubs and back scratches. One of the pups is blind and he helped her up and down the steps to walk in the grass. We could enjoy our trip knowing our pups were getting great care and attention while their needs were being met. Very satisfied with the job Joel did for us!!”

About: I have about 8.5 years of pet care experience, caring for both my own cat and dog as well as pets for friends and family. I’m comfortable with dogs of different personalities and needs, including administering medication and caring for a dog with severe separation anxiety. I treat every pet like they’re my own, providing patient, reliable, and loving care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I am available to do drop in visits for dogs and cats in the morning before work, during the lunch hour, and evenings as needed. I am able to accommodate dog walking as well. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I know every pet has their own routine, so I’ll follow your instructions carefully to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Whether it’s a drop-in visit, a walk, or staying in your home, I’ll provide plenty of attention, playtime, fresh food and water, potty breaks, medication if needed, and lots of love. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring, dependable hands.

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life. Our family animals (dog, cats, goats, Guinea pigs, birds, lizards, and a pony) fostered my lifelong love of animals. As a dog sitter, I have experience working with many different breeds and personalities. I have worked at a cruelty-free animal shelter, where I walked dogs, provided playtime, and helped take care of their living spaces. I have experience dog sitting in my home and understand the importance of helping dogs feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. When your dog is with me, they will receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. I am happy to take your dog on walks as often as needed and look forward to having a companion to play and cuddle with. On days I am not at school, I am at home, which allows me to give your dog my full attention throughout the day. I genuinely care about making every dog feel happy, comfortable, and secure, and I will treat yours as if they were my own! I am currently a doctoral student studying Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine and my schedule allows me to provide pet care throughout the week. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays, I am on campus for part of the day, and Thursday through Monday I study from home, which gives me the availability to provide your pets with plenty of companionship and attention throughout the day. I live in a house with my parents. The upstairs level is my dedicated living space, which includes a bedroom, bathroom, and a living room area. Your pet will spend their time in this space with me! My parents have a cat that lives downstairs. They will not be living in the same space. We live on 4 acres, providing ample outdoor space for play, exploration, and exercise. We are located on rural road, which is great for long walks. When caring for pets, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any special instructions you provide.

About: I have no experience with cats due to I am very allergic to them. I have never been around cats my whole life because of my allergies. I am totally available and free whenever to dog sit! I am super flexible. I am good with last minute things that are needed for you! I make sure to keep my eyes on the pets at all time to ensure they are safe at all times and to keep them happy and healthy!

About: We grew up with pets and we have a pet loving family. We have a German wirehair pointer dog, cat and raise rabbits for showing. We also volunteer at a local goat farm and help take care of goats. I work full time out of the home, Monday-Friday, so your dog will be kenneled while we are at work. Unless it’s summer or holiday then my schedule may be different. I will do morning walks and night walks and playtime outside after and before work. We have an unfenced large yard so your pet will be leashed for playtime. We have a nice larger private backyard so plenty of space for exercise.

“Michael was very prompt, shared lots of photos, and was very easy to work with, given my dog was very new and a little unsure of people. Thanks so much! Look forward to working with you again.”

About: I've taken care of dogs (housesitting and dog walking) ever since I was 10 years old. I have taken care of dogs anywhere from 9 weeks old to 17 years old. I have no problem giving medications or any special requests. I am currently in the middle of my senior year at Montana State University and am home for a bit this summer! I am extremely flexible, usually I end up going to the gym once a day, but don’t have any formal commitments! I do not have a home that I can bring dogs into, but I am more than willing to take care of dogs in your home, crating them, keeping them leashed (if necessary), and making any other modifications you may need.

About: I love dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs of all kinds and personalities. I grew up with both a Westie and an American Pit Bull Terrier, so I’m comfortable with everything from energetic, playful dogs to more relaxed companions. I’m happy to do long walks, playtime, and care for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels at any time of day. I have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, and sick dogs, and I always aim to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether you need walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, or something more specific, I’m flexible and happy to help however I can — just let me know what you need! *Lady, the American Pitbull Terrier listed on my profile, does not live in my home. I currently have a dog-free household* I have a flexible schedule and am happy to provide services at any time of day just let me know what you need and I can be available! My focus is on making each walk a positive and enriching experience for the pets in my care, fostering a sense of trust, joy, and exercise. When caring for pets on walks, my approach revolves around their safety, well-being, and enjoyment. I prioritize keeping them on a secure leash, ensuring their comfort with proper equipment, and maintaining a watchful eye for any potential hazards. Regular water breaks are provided, especially on hot days, and I adjust the pace of the walk to match their energy levels. Every pet is unique, so I adapt to their preferences, whether it's a brisk urban stroll, a leisurely park visit, or interactive playdates with fellow dogs. And of course I am happy to provide picture updates :)

About: I have owned 2 dogs, one that was a bigger rescue dog and that delt with arthritis and a few other health issues. Then currently I have a 1 year old mini dachshund who is fully of life and a little hyper. I have also dog sat for many family and friends over the years. So I have experience working with many types of dogs and am comfortable around all types. When it comes to taking care of your baby, I will dedicate my time to focus on them and their needs. I love playing with dogs, bringing them for walks, if allowed I would love to bring them to a dog park for some social time, or just to get some more exercise! I have also trained my mini dachshund how to do some fun tricks like shake, roll over, spin, and weave between my legs, so if your wanting some fun tricks for your dog I can definitely show/train your dog how to do some! I am usually pretty open after 10:30am Mon-Thur. Then Fri-Sun I am open most of the day. I just need a few days notice so that I am not double scheduling your walk or drop in with my work schedule! Currently, I am only accepting dog walks and drop in visits in your home. I prefer a meet and greet beforehand to make sure I am the right fit for you and your baby.

About: I have owned dogs most of my upbringing and early adulthood. I now have more free time to help others take care of their dogs without worry. I work a part time waitressing job, mostly in the afternoons. So I am free all day long while you are at work. I am able to flex and change my schedule for you! I am free to watch your dogs in your home so your animal knows its environment is safe. I am also free to just pop over and take your dog for a long walk.

About: I’m confident and comfortable with both dogs and cats, including puppies, senior pets, high-energy dogs, shy animals, and pets that need extra patience or attention. I also have experience with potty training puppies, reinforcing routines and basic commands, and making pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I have worked professionally for years as a pet sitter for a wide variety of animals. This has given me experience and confidence in handling different temperaments, routines, and care requirements. I also grew up homeschooled on lots of land, so pets have been part of my everyday life for as long as I can remember. Because I was home during the day, I spent a lot of time helping with feeding, training, socializing, exercising, and caring for animals of all ages and personalities. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals, whether they’re my own pets or someone else’s. I truly view animals as part of the family, and I believe every pet deserves individualized care, attention, patience, and love based on their unique personality and needs. I would treat every single pet as if it was my very own fur baby. I recently got married to the love of my life and moved to Mahtomedi! My husband works full time, I, however, have a completely wide open schedule! I have always loved animals and would love to fill my week days with taking care and of other people’s fur babies. Monday- Friday I am available any time of day all day. I am also available on weekends depending on the weekend, so please feel free to reach out and ask if the weekend you’re hoping for aligns with my summer plans. If I am staying in the pets home, I am sure to keep their routine as similarly as their owners do, so that both the pet and the owner feel as safe and comfortable as they can. I would be more than happy to send pictures and videos of their pet to update them on how they are doing. If the pets were in my home, I would do my best to make that temporary transition as smooth and as comfortable for them as possible. Whether that be bringing their own toys or bed, or letting them snuggle in the bed with me if that’s what they are used to. With my schedule being solely dedicated to pet sitting, your pet will never lack attention in whatever ways they need! Whether that’s endless walks and tug of war, snuggles on the couch, or just having a safe hand around to make sure they are picked up after.

About: What sets me apart is my combination of professional experience and a lifetime of hands-on pet care. I spent over three years working in a dog daycare and boarding facility, caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. I also worked as a pet store manager, which gave me valuable experience with animal behavior, care, and overall pet wellness. I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and specific needs to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, anxious, or a senior needing extra attention, I provide patient, personalized care tailored to them. I am comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and providing regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home most days, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, and exercise throughout the day. I only go into the office one day per week, so I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate most pets’ routines and needs. Caring for animals has always been a part of my life, and I enjoy incorporating walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and quality one-on-one attention into my day. Whether your pet prefers an active day or a quiet companion nearby, I can provide a comfortable and consistent environment while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while their family is away. I follow all feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and any other specific care requests. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and mental stimulation based on their individual needs and personality. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust, so I treat every home with the same respect and care I would my own. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I have two cats, Lionel and Stella, both are my absolute world. I fully understand how much our pets mean to us, they are our family, and we want them in the best care. I will love and care for your pet like they are my own 🤍 I work full time, Monday through Friday, but can check-in on your pet after work and available on the weekends. I can provide a safe comfortable place for your pet to stay while you are away. Your pet will have my full attention, they will be well fed and will receive plenty of love and care. I can provide proof of life photos upon requests.

“So thankful for Theresa! She took such great care of Sunshine while we were away. I highly recommend Theresa and will definitely use her again ;)”

About: I grew up on a farm and have had animals around my whole life. I’m patient, calm, and attentive, and my work with people on the spectrum has helped me understand different personalities, routines, and comfort needs. I love making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m currently available most weekdays when I’m not babysitting my nieces. I spend a lot of weekends in the cities right now, but I’m occasionally available on weekends as well. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, park trips, or watching pets for a few hours at a time. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I pay attention to each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level, whether that means playtime, walks, cuddles, quiet time, or just keeping them company and making them feel loved while their owner is away.
